CHAPTER 82: CHAPTER 82: LIU XIN’S GRATITUDE

When you take care of him with compassion, he’ll decisively reject it, even distancing himself.

When you treat him like a normal person, he’ll smile and chat with you.

So, after reading about Li Wen’s background, Lin Xiaoyan turned off her phone and stopped paying attention to it.

Now, Li Wen is just an employee in her store.

What she can do is not delay wages, not be harsh with employees, offer more benefits, maintain a good attitude, and be a competent boss, that’s all.

With Li Wen joining, Lin Xiaoyan’s workload has been significantly reduced.

In the evening, Lin Xiaoyan noticed a woman sitting in the corner of the store.

But she was wearing a mask and sunglasses, so it was unclear what she looked like.

She assumed the woman wanted to sit and rest, so she didn’t ask.

Since the store was busy, she didn’t have time to notice her either.

However, after all the customers had left, more than an hour had passed.

The woman was still sitting there.

Lin Xiaoyan glanced at the woman, and the woman happened to look up at her.

Before Lin Xiaoyan could speak, the woman slowly got up and walked over.

"Hello, would you like something to drink?"

Lin Xiaoyan asked with a smile.

The woman walked up to the counter, "Xiao Lin, it’s me."

Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Xiaoyan watched the woman slowly take off her glasses and mask.

When Lin Xiaoyan saw Liu Xin’s scarred face, she was full of surprise and concern.

"Liu Xin! You... you how..."

Li Wen, who was behind, heard the voice, turned to look, and saw Liu Xin’s bruised face. His eyes darkened, and he kept silent, continuing his work.

Lin Xiaoyan frowned, looking at Liu Xin with heartache, "Didn’t you go to the police before? Hasn’t it been resolved yet?"

Liu Xin pulled the corners of her mouth into a smile, her eyes brightening, "It will be resolved soon!"

"I’m here to thank you, for persuading me to report to the police. The officers there have been very helpful, they’ve been coming up with solutions for me..."

Liu Xin recounted the recent events to Lin Xiaoyan.

"Today, I’m here to submit evidence and also to thank you."

At the moment the evidence was handed over, Liu Xin felt an unprecedented sense of relief!

Lin Xiaoyan was also happy for Liu Xin, she could finally get rid of that scumbag!

"Did the police go to arrest that scumbag?"

Lin Xiaoyan turned around and personally made a milk tea for Liu Xin.

Liu Xin shook her head, "They’ll go tomorrow, let him relax tonight!"

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan felt a bit worried, "Are you going back there tonight? Why not stay somewhere else, don’t go back."

Liu Xin: "Thank you, but it’s okay, I’ve managed this far, and tomorrow, I want to see him captured with my own eyes!"

Seeing Liu Xin’s determination, Lin Xiaoyan said no more.

"Here, this milk tea is on me."

Lin Xiaoyan handed the milk tea she made to Liu Xin.

Liu Xin looked at the milk tea in surprise, then looked up at Lin Xiaoyan and smiled, "Thank you."

When Liu Xin reached out to take it, Lin Xiaoyan’s hand moved slightly, touching Liu Xin’s fingers.

Her gaze turned somber, looking at Liu Xin with complexity.

"Tonight... maybe you shouldn’t go back, you can go back with the police tomorrow."

Lin Xiaoyan "saw" the scene just now and advised again.

Liu Xin still shook her head, "No need, besides, if I don’t go back, he’ll surely get suspicious, it’s the final moment, I don’t want anything unexpected to happen."

Lin Xiaoyan watched Liu Xin with a complicated expression, she opened her mouth but finally remained silent, watching Liu Xin’s departing back.

After Liu Xin left, she turned to Li Wen and said.

"Watch the store for a while, I’m going over to the police station."

Li Wen: "Okay."

Lin Xiaoyan quickly walked towards the police station across the street.

Inside the store, Li Wen saw his boss enter the police station smoothly, and he looked surprised.

"Xiao Lin?!"

The policeman on duty in the hall looked up and saw Lin Xiaoyan coming in hastily.

"Hello, I want to report an incident."

"Come with me to the office, Captain Ma hasn’t left yet!"

The policeman on duty took Lin Xiaoyan to the office.

At this time, Captain Ma was working overtime organizing the evidence Liu Xin submitted in the afternoon.

"Captain, Xiao Lin is here!"

Captain Ma immediately looked up, seeing Lin Xiaoyan’s urgent expression, he quickly asked what happened.

Lin Xiaoyan came over and anxiously said, "Something’s going to happen to Liu Xin tonight!"

Hearing this, Captain Ma’s face changed dramatically.

"She just brought over the materials, we planned to arrest her husband tomorrow, how..."

Mao Hong happened to be passing by and heard Liu Xin was in trouble, she quickly came in and said.

Lin Xiaoyan heard the mournful cries coming from Captain Ma’s computer, her gaze shifted over and saw video footage of Liu Xin being beaten by her husband.

"This was what Liu Xin brought this afternoon, we originally planned to arrest him first thing in the morning..."

Captain Ma said halfway and looked at Lin Xiaoyan, "What will happen to her tonight?"

Lin Xiaoyan couldn’t bear to look at the painful scene of Liu Xin in the video, she softly said, "Murder!

The first time I saw footage of Liu Xin, it was the same as tonight..."

Everyone: !!!

Everyone recalled when Lin Xiaoyan first reported to the police, about Liu Xin’s situation, Liu Xin had done something to her husband, mother-in-law, and that child...

Captain Ma’s expression changed, he picked up the police cap on the desk, "Let’s go to Liu Xin’s house!"

"Yes!"

At this moment, everyone suddenly remembered!

They quickly geared up, took their equipment, and set off!

The police car left the station, and Lin Xiaoyan slowly emerged from the police station.

She watched the disappearing police car, breathed a sigh of relief, hoping they could arrest her husband before Liu Xin returned home to prevent a tragedy.

Li Wen watched the police car leave on a mission, and saw his boss come out of the police station, his gaze fell on Lin Xiaoyan.

Lin Xiaoyan withdrew her gaze and quickly returned to the store, seeing Li Wen occasionally glance at her, she felt a twinge in her heart.

She thought for a moment and said, "That woman earlier, she worked at our store for two days.

She was long-term abused by her husband, I suggested she report it to the police..."

"Tonight, I feared for her returning home and being beaten by her husband again; so I went to the police station to suggest they arrest her husband in advance."

Hearing Lin Xiaoyan’s explanation, Li Wen understood.

He nodded, "Indeed, preventing danger is crucial, although nothing has happened yet, you never know if an unexpected event could occur in just one night."

Hearing Li Wen’s words, Lin Xiaoyan looked at him in astonishment, surprised he thought this way.

Li Wen looked at Lin Xiaoyan, "If it were me, I’d do the same, in these matters, no one dares to gamble.

Many people only regret afterward, huh..."

At this point, a look of mockery appeared on Li Wen’s face.

Seeing Li Wen like this, Lin Xiaoyan thought of the information Sister Hong mentioned about Li Wen, sigh...
