207: Trapped
The police officers were at their wit's end. This Old Lady looked quite old, and they were truly afraid that if she stretched her leg and something happened while she was at their station, then everyone on duty today would be finished.
She was a living ancestor; they could only coax her.
They invited her into the duty room, offered hot tea, handed her a small blanket, and took turns trying to persuade her.
"Old Madam, people your age shouldn't stay up late like young people; your blood pressure won't be able to handle it. How about this, you give me your children's phone numbers, and I'll help you call them to pick you up?"
Madam Ji was usually a calm person, but once her beloved grandson was involved, she lost all reason.
"I'm not going back! You must let me see my grandson today. Are you torturing my grandson? I'm telling you, whoever dares to touch a single hair on my grandson's head, I'll make sure they pay dearly!"
The police were speechless.
"Old Madam, your grandson is being held in a separate room, well-fed and well-rested. You really don't need to worry about him. The case still needs to be investigated, and we cannot disclose any more information to you at this time.
If you don't want to go back, then you can only make do in our duty room."
Old Lady's anxious mood still couldn't be calmed.
"My grandson couldn't possibly do anything criminal. There are so many bad people in society that you don't go after, so why do you only arrest good people? Are you still public servants?"
The police didn't dare to provoke her, but hearing this, they were also very angry.
"Currently, none of the people we've arrested are good. If you insist on staying, then please rest here. We can only provide care within our means, but our station's conditions are like this, so please bear with it."
After speaking, the two police officers ignored her and stopped arguing with her. They directly left the room, leaving the only duty room to her.
Madam Ji saw that they had left?
All her previous efforts to persuade them had been completely useless.
The conditions in this station were simple: a rusty bunk bed with a thin military blanket on it.
The only table in the room that could hold things was covered with instant noodles.
As a rich Old Madam, she had never slept in such a simple place. What was the difference between this and sleeping under a bridge?
Madam Ji had no choice, but she couldn't bear to spend the night there, so she had to leave on her own.
Meanwhile, inside the detention center, Ji Sheng was clinging to the iron gate, shouting indignantly,
"Is anyone there? Is anyone there? I've been wronged! It's snowing in June!"
His shouting made it impossible for anyone on that floor to sleep. Someone shouted back at him from behind the wall,
"Stop shouting, brother. No one will listen to you even if you shout until your throat is hoarse. Don't you see where this is? Honestly, no one who gets locked up here is innocent, but on their first day, they all claim to be innocent."
Ji Sheng's voice was tinged with a cry,
"I'm really innocent, damn it! I fell for someone else's trap!"
"That's what you get. You're stupid. You'd better reflect carefully and explain the true course of events clearly. If you can get a reduced sentence, it'll be more effective than shouting randomly."
Ji Sheng slumped to the ground, his face filled with despair.
He was inexplicably summoned by the police yesterday, and he thought it was nothing. Who knew that as soon as he arrived, he was pulled in for a mobile phone head-to-toe search and fingerprinting, and within an hour, he was locked up.
They didn't even say hello to him, and he didn't even know what crime he had committed.
He was confused all night, and only today did someone tell him that sixty million was missing from Jis account, and Ji family's Young Miss had reported it to the police.
Damn it!
What a loser.
He was a Ji family member; what was wrong with touching the Ji family's accounts?
The entire company belonged to the Ji family. What right did she, a woman who would marry out in the future, have to dictate Ji family's affairs?
Ji Sheng explained to the police, but the police completely ignored him.
His cellmate's words shattered his hope.
Was he really not going to get out of this hellhole?
He was innocent!
If anyone should be locked up, it should be Ji Li. That paper was given to him by Ji Li; he just went to get a stamp.
"Is anyone there? Police officers, listen to me..."
Ji Sheng continued to call out, regardless of whether anyone was listening.
On the other side, Madam Ji had no choice but to return home first.
In the villa, Ji Ming and his wife were waiting for her. When they saw her return, they called out 'Mom' repeatedly.
Ji Ming, "Mom, how's Ah Sheng's matter? You can't just ignore him, can you? He's your biological grandson. You must get him out!"
Second Daughter-in-law,
"Mom, do you want some water? I'll massage your shoulders. Mom, you have to dote on your biological grandson. Big Brother can sometimes be a bit cold, and as a mother, you need to guide him. We are all one family. Now that Sheng'er is in trouble, Big Brother can't just sit by and do nothing!"
Ji Ming,
"Mom, how about this: you let Big Brother personally handle this matter. With Big Brother's ability, he can definitely bring Ji Sheng back.
As long as Ji Sheng can return safely this time, I'll let him take care of Big Brother in his old age!
Big Brother doesn't have a son; I can even let Ji Sheng be adopted by Big Brother!"
Old Lady had been hitting a wall all night outside and was now furious.
Without relying on her eldest son's influence, no one would pay attention to her, an Old Madam. At this moment, she calmed down and thought about everything that had happened that night.
Perhaps the people on duty under the hospital were arranged by her eldest son. He deliberately didn't answer the phone, clearly not wanting to help her solve the problem.
After realizing this, Old Lady became even more enraged.
Ji Sheng was his biological nephew, after all. Why was he so cold?
She, an eighty-year-old woman, had been running around outside in the middle of the night, and no one paid her any attention.
Old Lady was extremely angry.
"You two, stop talking and let me have some peace!"
Ji Ming knelt down with a thud,
"Oh, Mom, please help Ji Sheng. In this world, only you can save him. He's your biological grandson, and your eldest grandson! You can't just abandon him. Once a person is locked up and sentenced, he'll have a criminal record, and he'll be finished when he comes out!"
The second daughter-in-law also knelt down at Old Lady's feet,
"Mom, Mom, how about we go beg Big Brother? Big Brother can definitely solve this. This matter still needs you to step forward. Big Brother only listens to you.
Otherwise, if Big Brother doesn't help, you can go on a hunger strike to show him. Big Brother values filial piety the most, so he will definitely act!"
Ji Ming echoed from the side,
"Mom, my wife is right. Just do that and force Big Brother. This matter cannot be delayed any longer. If it's delayed any further, your eldest grandson's life will be ruined!"
Ji Ming and his wife cried bitterly, putting continuous pressure on Old Lady.
Both knew that Old Lady valued her grandson, and their words pierced right into Old Lady's heart.
Old Lady rubbed her temples,
"You two get up first. We don't even know why Ji Sheng was arrested yet; the police haven't revealed a single word.
Ji Ming, tomorrow you go to the company and find out exactly what happened.
Tomorrow, your Big Brother will be discharged from the hospital. Once he's home, everything will be easier to handle."
