Chapter 550: Chapter 550: The Real Background
"Jieyu, this isn\'t just a casual chat. I called you because of Yang Chen," Guo Xuehua said.
There was a pause on the other end of the line before Yang Jieyu exclaimed, "What happened to Yang Chen? Did that kid get into trouble again? Or did he anger you, sister-in-law?"
"I don\'t know if he\'s in trouble, but it\'s definitely serious. He was just arrested by the West District Police Bureau, and I\'m on my way there now," sighed Guo Xuehua.
Yang Jieyu gasped, "What? Someone dared to arrest him?!"
Yang Jieyu knew Yang Chen\'s background was extraordinary. She had witnessed firsthand how Yang Chen, with his cunning plans, had taken over Dongxing overnight and later injured Yang Lie, the heir to Kunlun\'s true heritage. Yang Chen was someone even feared by the nation\'s secretive Dragon Group. How could some fool dare to touch him?
"Don\'t worry too much, sister-in-law. I suspect some fool took the wrong medicine. I\'ll have Awei call the police station immediately and sort this out. I believe everything will be fine," Yang Jieyu said calmly.
Although Guo Xuehua felt things wouldn\'t be that simple, she hoped they would.
Since her daughter-in-law, Lin Ruoxi, cared mostly about money, cars, and houses, Guo Xuehua casually took a car and headed to the police station alone. It was convenient to drive without guards.
She rushed to the West District Police Bureau in just over ten minutes. Getting out of the car, Guo Xuehua saw several nervous-looking people waiting outside the station. With a sweep of her eyes, the most eye-catching among them was a young woman in a black suit and a coffee-colored pleated skirt, exuding charm and elegance.
Almost instantly, Guo Xuehua guessed this must be Anxin, the person she had spoken to on the phone.
As Anxin saw the elegant and mature woman approaching her, she silently screamed in her heart, "This can\'t be Yang Chen\'s mother. It\'s impossible. How could this be?"
Nevertheless, Guo Xuehua walked up to Anxin and extended her hand with a gentle smile. "You must be Anxin. I\'m Guo Xuehua, Yang Chen\'s mother."
Anxin was almost stunned. Although her husband was domineering, he didn\'t seem to have such a beautiful and charming mother. The disparity between this mother and son was too great—one resembling a queen in the palace, the other like a street hoodlum, albeit one she liked very much.
She shook hands with Guo Xuehua dumbfoundedly, feeling like she\'d been struck by lightning, stiff and unsure of what to say.
Watching Anxin\'s submissive and anxious demeanor, Guo Xuehua sighed inwardly at how naive the girl was. Her son\'s ability to cause trouble for girls was indeed unmatched.
If she still couldn\'t figure out Anxin\'s identity, then Guo Xuehua might as well have wasted these forty-odd years.
Actually, An Xin wasn\'t really that hesitant; it was just that Yang Chen\'s arrest was mostly due to her, even if it wasn\'t intentional on her part. She didn\'t know how to start explaining.
However, now wasn\'t the time to think about how much her son had been hiding from her. Guo Xuehua asked, "Have you been inside? How is the situation?"
An Xin then replied, "I don\'t know what\'s going on with the police station; they wouldn\'t even let us in. We hired a lawyer who just forced his way in, but we don\'t know the outcome yet."
Just then, a man in a suit, slightly bald, ran out of the police station looking flustered, carrying a briefcase and sweating profusely as if he\'d been frightened.
Wang Jie, standing nearby, hurried over and asked, "Lawyer Zhang, what\'s the situation? Why are you out here? What about our Director Yang?"
Lawyer Zhang pushed Wang Jie\'s hand away angrily, saying, "What kind of people have you gotten involved with! This is a serious mistake, and you want me to bail you out? Are you trying to ruin me?! You\'re on your own; I\'ll refund all the money to you. I can\'t handle this case as a small lawyer!"
With that, Lawyer Zhang stormed off without another word.
Wang Jie felt disheartened, "How could this be? Who exactly are we dealing with? Lawyer Zhang isn\'t even afraid of the city bureau leaders."
"I think it\'s complicated. Lawyer Zhang not only dares not to handle it, but he also doesn\'t even dare to talk about it. This situation is very serious," Zhao Teng analyzed.
Guo Xuehua frowned. She realized the situation seemed different from what she had expected. Moreover, Yang Jieyu should have called by now; why was there no news?
As a result, Guo Xuehua, who initially felt confident, began to worry even more.
"I\'ll go in and take a look," Guo Xuehua said decisively, striding towards the police station entrance.
However, before she reached the door, two policemen with stern expressions blocked her way, saying, "Sorry, we\'re interrogating a major criminal today. It\'s not safe inside. Please leave."
"Do you know who I am and the consequences of blocking me?" Guo Xuehua glared at them coldly. After all, she was a person of high status, and her gaze made the policemen flinch a little.
But for some reason, the policeman said, "No matter who you are, we\'re following orders."
Guo Xuehua\'s face darkened. "I am Guo Xuehua, the wife of the Chief Commanding Officer of Huinan District. Do you dare to stop me?"
This title might not be well-known to ordinary people, but for criminal police, not knowing it would be strange!
The two policemen were indeed stunned, looking at Guo Xuehua\'s attire and demeanor. To be honest, they couldn\'t be sure, but then the policeman gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you are indeed the Chief\'s wife, we can\'t let you in without sufficient proof."
Guo Xuehua was taken aback. She used to have bodyguards sent by the military who could always verify her identity, but now, without her personal guards, she didn\'t know how to prove she was the Chief\'s wife, even though she didn\'t care much about this title. However, she did need this title at this moment.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated. Guo Xuehua was delighted and picked it up. It was indeed Yang Jieyu calling back.
"Hello, Jieyu, how are things?" Guo Xuehua\'s tone was somewhat relaxed, thinking Yang Jieyu must have sorted things out since it took her so long to call.
Unexpectedly, on the other end, Yang Jieyu\'s tone was inexplicably complex. "Sister-in-law, it seems Yang Chen is in serious trouble this time."
Guo Xuehua\'s heart sank. "What happened? What did you find out?"
Around them, An Xin, Zhao Wang, and the others saw Guo Xuehua\'s face turning worse as she spoke on the phone, feeling apprehensive without knowing what had happened. Didn\'t Tianlong and Ye Zi say Guo Xuehua could get Yang Chen out? Why was there no progress? Were they lying?
"Sister-in-law, I asked a few close contacts in the police station. They told me that Yang Chen, for the sake of a girl, attempted premeditated murder against Ru Min from the Ru family. This is a criminal case and a very serious offense," Yang Jieyu said.
"Ru Min? The Ru family?" Guo Xuehua suddenly remembered something. "Jieyu, are you talking about the Ru family from Yandu?"
"Of course, otherwise, how could any other Ru family have the capability to make Director Lu risk everything to arrest Yang Chen? Yang Chen\'s background isn\'t something someone at Director Lu\'s level would dare to touch," Yang Jieyu said with a bitter smile.
Guo Xuehua finally became anxious and quickly said, "Jieyu, you have to help Yang Chen. I don\'t know what to do anymore. The police won\'t even let me in."
Yang Jieyu tried to reassure her, "Don\'t worry, Sister-in-law. Although it\'s difficult with the Ru family involved, our Yang family isn\'t easy to bully either. Ah Wei is currently contacting my elder brother. I will also go persuade him. After all, Yang Chen is his son; he can\'t just let him die, right? One mistake can be forgiven, but repeated mistakes can\'t."
Hearing that they were going to seek help from Yang Pojun, Guo Xuehua wanted to stop them but realized that it might actually work. Yang Pojun held more sway than the Yuan family, and since this was under the jurisdiction of the Huinan defense area, even the Ru family would have to give Yang Pojun some face. So, although it was somewhat humiliating, Guo Xuehua accepted it.
Yang Jieyu, still worried, added, "Rest assured, Sister-in-law, if my brother is truly that heartless, I\'ll even risk getting scolded by our father and ask him for help. That should put your mind at ease, right?"
Guo Xuehua felt relieved. She had been waiting for this assurance, even hoping that Yang Jieyu would directly call Yang Gongming. However, she knew that wasn\'t possible. Yang Gongming had been detached from external affairs for years, and unless he volunteered, asking him for help would only upset him.
After hanging up the phone, An Xin couldn\'t help but step forward timidly and ask, "Auntie, what is really happening with Yang Chen?"
Guo Xuehua\'s gaze turned cold as she looked at An Xin and said, "That Ru Min, did you bring him here?"
An Xin\'s legs felt weak. She hadn\'t expected the gentle woman from earlier to suddenly look at her with such a cold expression. She nodded timidly.
"Do you know who Ru Min is? Do you know how much trouble you\'ve brought to my son?!" Guo Xuehua\'s voice rose several notches.
Tears started to well up in An Xin\'s eyes. She had always been a strong and independent woman, but facing the accusations from the mother of the man she loved, and on their first meeting, she felt full of guilt and self-blame. She couldn\'t hold back her tears.
"Auntie, I\'m sorry. I know the Ru family from Yandu is powerful, and even my father dares not provoke them, but I didn\'t know it would turn out like this," An Xin sobbed.
Guo Xuehua, however, did not soften. As a woman herself, she had little sympathy for others in such situations. With a cold smile, she said, "The Ru family from Yandu? Powerful? Do you think if the Ru family was just a powerful family in Yandu, things would have gotten this bad? Do you know what Ru Min\'s true background is?!"
