When the police arrived, Chen Zhenghao had already been punched a few times. He didn't know who hit him; he only knew that everyone was pushing and cursing at him. There were too many people, so he couldn't see clearly.
Five police officers came and separated them. One officer sternly asked Chen Zhenghao, "What happened here? Why were you fighting? Who called the police?"
Li Xin jogged over and said to the officer, "Officer, I called the police. I don't know why this group of people surrounded my husband as soon as we arrived and started hitting him. Officer, please arrest them quickly."
"Officer, we didn't hit anyone. We were just afraid he would run away. Our boss ran off, and everything in the mall was cleared out overnight. He is the father of our boss, and our boss owes us two months' wages. Of course, we are looking for his family," Tang Weiping explained to the police.
"Officer, you tell me, what does my son's debt have to do with me? I'm just a farmer who grows crops. Even if I wanted to help my son pay them, I couldn't," Chen Zhenghao said with a bitter face, feeling hopeless.
"Where is your son now?" the officer in front of Chen Zhenghao asked seriously.
"I don't know. When he got home yesterday, he didn't say anything to me. After a while, he left with his wife carrying luggage. I asked him, but he didn't answer me. Officer, I'm telling the truth; you must believe me," Chen Zhenghao seemed very afraid that others wouldn't believe him.
"You two come with me to the station!" the officer said.
Chen Zhenghao and Li Xin were taken to the police station for questioning, along with several others from Wanhe Mall led by Tang Weiping.
After Chen Zhenghao and the others were taken away by the police, Chen Haoxuan emerged from a corner not far from Wanhe Mall. It turned out he had been eavesdropping on their conversation.
"You said Chen Haorong is your son? If he is—then why did he abandon you? Now look at this! You abandoned me before, and now your son has abandoned you too. I feel like you're worse off than I am," Chen Haoxuan muttered to himself.
Now that Chen Haorong had run away, Chen Haoxuan didn't feel happy about it; instead, he felt an emptiness inside. It seemed that his existence was solely for revenge, and now that revenge could be considered fulfilled, he suddenly lost some of his motivation.
Chen Haoxuan returned to his office at the supermarket, where Chen Yina was already waiting. Upon seeing her Brother Xuan back, she stood up happily. However, noticing his emotionless expression, she grew concerned and asked, "Brother Xuan, what's wrong?"
"Chen Haorong ran away with his wife?" Chen Haoxuan sat down on the sofa in the office and said calmly.
"Chen Haorong ran away with his wife? What happened? Why would he run away?" Chen Yina questioned.
"Because he hired a hitman to kill me yesterday. I incapacitated that hitman and forced him to reveal who his employer was. I somehow informed Chen Haorong to take care of himself, but I didn't expect him to be so cowardly that my words scared him off," Chen Haoxuan replied indifferently.
"Ah—Brother Xuan, is it really him? He wanted to kill you? How could he do that!" Chen Yina exclaimed in panic. Although Chen Haoxuan was fine now, the thought of someone wanting to kill her Brother Xuan frightened her; she feared losing him.
"He hates me—I know that, but I really don't know why he wants to kill me," Chen Haoxuan said.
"Brother Xuan, the supermarket is already on the right track and doesn't need our worry anymore. Can we go back to New City today?" Chen Yina said with a worried expression. She was concerned that Chen Haorong might return to hire someone to kill her Brother Xuan, and for his safety, she wanted to go to New City to avoid any trouble.
"Tomorrow! I'll hand over my work to Miao Yuxiang today, and we can head back to New City tomorrow morning," Chen Haoxuan replied.
That day, Chen Yina stayed close to Chen Haoxuan, even waiting outside the bathroom when he went in. This was because she feared someone might try to harm her Brother Xuan. Although she was a weak woman, she would risk her life to protect him if he were in danger.
Since they were returning to New City the next day, Chen Haoxuan took Chen Yina back to Chen Family Village so she could spend some time with her family.
Chen Zhenghao and his wife Li Xin had just come out of the police station in the afternoon. Their faces were pale as they realized their son had no intention of letting them live well. All the valuable items from Wanhe Mall had been sold at extremely low prices by their son to a boss running a department store; this information had been uncovered by the police.
They had also invested in Wanhe Mall when Chen Haorong first opened it, contributing tens of thousands of Renminbi. But now they had lost everything; their son and daughter-in-law had fled, Wanhe Mall had closed down, and they were back to their previous life of farming. They still had several hundred thousand Renminbi available for small business ventures, but they were afraid. If they started a business, those whom their son owed money would surely come looking for trouble.
Chen Zhenghao was in a very bad mood. He returned home and retrieved a shotgun hidden in his room. He had bought it when he was younger because he loved hunting back then. Ever since his son started earning some money, he had stopped hunting and farming. Little did he know that the next time he took out the shotgun, it would be with the intention of killing someone.
Who did he want to kill? It's obvious—he believed it was Chen Haoxuan, the child of another man. Chen Haoxuan had ruined his prosperous life and shattered his family. What was even harder for him to accept was that Chen Haoxuan was someone else's child. He had made up his mind; he could no longer endure this. He wanted to kill Chen Haoxuan so that no one could say his wife had cheated on him anymore.
Li Xin saw her husband come out of the room with a shotgun, and the first thing that crossed her mind was that he intended to kill Chen Haoxuan. Li Xin hurriedly ran in front of her husband and blocked him, anxiously saying, "Zhenghao, what are you doing? Are you really thinking of killing him? Have you considered that our son is already gone? If something happens to you, how am I supposed to live?"
