Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 866: Chapter 523: Cry for Help

Officer Bai’s angry appearance, on the contrary, made the disdain in Luo Ye’s eyes even more pronounced: "Officer Bai, as a member of the prison management, breaking the law knowingly, are you worthy of that uniform?"

"I... I didn’t break the law knowingly." Officer Bai said this with less confidence.

"Didn’t you?" Luo Ye chuckled, "Your words are really interesting. Any detained person must be searched and checked before being admitted to the cell..." He pointed at Qiao Xiaowan, "Why can she bring all kinds of prohibited and dangerous goods inside?"

Qiao Xiaowan quickly replied: "You also know my grandpa’s influence. These things were sent to me by my grandpa using special methods, how would Officer Bai and the others know?"

Luo Ye stepped forward and patted Qiao Xiaowan’s shoulder: "At this point, you are still thinking of exonerating her? Or do you think that exonerating her will mean you’re off the hook? I know, you dream of me getting into trouble..." He paused, a slight smile tugging at his lips, "Let me tell you the truth, when I decided to come in and see you, I suspected you might try something against me. However, I never thought you’d be so audacious."

Of course, this can only mean one thing: under your grandpa’s operation, you’re living too comfortably, so much that you’ve fully adapted to this lifestyle without knowing the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth!"

"Winners are kings, losers are bandits. I’ve said it long ago, from the moment I was disfigured, I became completely desperate about my life..." Speaking of this, Qiao Xiaowan’s expression grew ruthless, "The motivation keeping me alive is to make you become like me!"

"We’ve talked about this before. If you insist on blaming me for this, there’s nothing I can do." Luo Ye looked at her with pity, "But, being like this, you’re essentially letting the real culprit who harmed you get away scot-free."

Qiao Xiaowan glared hatefully at Luo Ye: "If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have gone to France. If I hadn’t gone to France, they wouldn’t have misunderstood that I was trying to seize Moselle’s assets, they naturally wouldn’t have targeted me. So ultimately, it’s your fault."

"Alright, if you really feel that way, there’s nothing I can do." Luo Ye shrugged and looked toward Officer Bai, "Seeing her like this, do you regret it at all?"

"Regret what?" Officer Bai reflexively replied.

"Regret aligning yourself with someone who’s sick of living." Luo Ye raised an eyebrow, "She doesn’t want to live anymore; do you also not want to live anymore?"

"You..." Officer Bai found that this Lady Luo always had a way to render her speechless. However, quickly, her heart became a mess. Luo Ye was right; if she had known initially that Qiao Xiaowan was extreme, she would never have succumbed to the Moselle Family’s temptation.

The Bai family has been declining these years, and thinking of the days when they were fawned upon, she is very unwilling. Thus, driven by vanity, she got on the same boat with Li Jingsong, never realizing that this small boat was about to capsize, and her dream of good days might never come true.

Now, she even wishes that as long as she can go on living as humbly as before, it will be enough...

At the same time, Monique, accompanied by Luo Lian, arrived at the City Investment Bureau office, reluctantly handed over a file bag to Ye Aicheng. The latter opened it in confusion, glanced at it, and joy quickly filled his eyes. Letting Luo Ye go to jail for 10 billion had always made him uncomfortable. Even in Great Huaxia, sacrificing a young girl like this, even if the investment succeeded, what face would they have? But he had no say in it, all he could do was complain internally.

Now a turnaround appeared, naturally, he was very happy, politely smiled at the two: "Please wait a moment, I will immediately consult the Secretary, this matter is really beyond my authority."

The matter of Luo Ye’s imprisonment, to be honest, has nothing to do with the judiciary, therefore, to release or not, consulting the Secretary is most suitable. Of course, consulting Minister Qin is more direct, but since the opposite party is sent from Beijing, he is not qualified to speak to them directly.

After Secretary Yang Ming notified him, Ye Aicheng stood happily in front of Wen Song’s desk: "Secretary, Monique came personally, saying he wants to revoke the contract clause that requires Miss Luo to serve a year’s sentence."

"Oh?" Wen Song’s lips curved into a smile, "Alright, I’ll immediately find Minister Qin."

"Yes!" Ye Aicheng replied, sensibly retreated, he had done what needed to be done, the rest was up to the upper-level leadership.
