Chapter 439: Fishing

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xia Yu had borrowed some money from Chen Lian a few days ago, but he had spent it all in just a matter of days.

Helpless and out of options, Xia Yu returned home and extended his hand toward his parents.

“You good-for-nothing! All you do is eat, drink, and have fun!” Xia He was still simmering with anger from what had happened at Xia Ye’s place when Xia Yu returned home and walked right into his rage.

Seeing Xia He about to pick up the ashtray from the table to smash it on Xia Yu’s head, Chen Lian hurriedly rushed over to shield him.

In the heat of the moment, Xia He swung the ashtray, and it struck Chen Lian’s head hard.

Seeing that Chen Lian’s head had been cut open, Xia He panicked.

Xia Yu, who had been fearing a beating himself, never expected to see his own mother being harmed.

He yelled, “Someone’s attacking! Murder!” At the same time, he ran outside.

Hearing the commotion, Xia Jiang and Song Yan rushed over.

They saw Chen Lian sitting at the table, holding her head, while Xia He stood there, still holding the ashtray stained with blood.

Song Yan was the first to react and called out to Xia Jiang, “Don’t just stand there! Go find Dr. Niu!”

When Xia Ye returned home, she was surprised to find a police car parked in front of the house. A group of people had gathered outside, and upon seeing her, they tried to comfort her.

“Don’t worry too much. Your father should be out in a few days.”

‘Yes! Your mother’s injury isn’t too serious. She should recover in a few months.”

The words of these people left Xia Ye feeling confused.

Ignoring the noisy crowd, Xia Ye passed through and entered the house. Inside, she saw Xia Jiang sitting outside, smoking a cigarette and sighing.

“Uncle, why are you here?” Xia Ye approached him.

Xia Jiang glanced at Xia Ye, then lowered his head to take a drag from his cigarette.

Seeing that Xia Jiang wasn’t responding, Xia Ye asked again, “What happened?”

“Go and get your father out of there as soon as possible!” Chen Lian grabbed Xia Ye’s hand, looking far from someone who had suffered serious injuries.

“What’s going on?” Xia Ye winced, pulling her hand away from Chen Lian’s grasp.

“Your father didn’t hit me on purpose! But the police arrested him!” Chen Lian cried as she rambled, “Those police officers are unreasonable! Hurry up and get your father out of there!”

Xia Ye’s face showed a hint of panic. She clenched her teeth and said, “How can I get him out? I’m just a student! Let’s wait for Xia Yu to come back!”

“He’s your son!”

Hearing Xia Yu’s name, Chen Lian cried even louder.

Unbeknownst to Xia Ye, it was actually Xia Yu who had run and shouted for help, leading the neighbors to call the police.

Upon arrival, the police immediately took Xia He into custody for questioning.

As soon as he entered the police station, Xia He cooperated and explained how things had escalated.

Seeing his cooperation, the police detained him for a few days first before deciding on the next steps.

Seeing Xia Jiang looking distressed, Song Yan nudged his arm, urging him to speak.

With a flick of his hand, Xia Jiang dropped the nearly extinguished cigarette on the ground and stamped it out. He reluctantly said, “I don’t have a choice either! You need to pay money to get someone out! I don’t have any money!” As soon as Xia Jiang mentioned money, Song Yan didn’t press him further.

They didn’t have the money for bail, so they would have to figure out a solution themselves!

Chen Lian cried for a while, and the onlookers gradually dispersed.

“Go! Find your third uncle to get him released!” Chen Lian pushed Xia Ye, who was sitting by the bed.

Xia Ye immediately became alert. “Right! Xia Wan’s family has money!”

Without wasting any time, Xia Hai told Xia Ye to stay at home and took Xia Chen with him to the police station.

As soon as they entered the police station, they heard Xia He’s desperate pleas for mercy.

Without much ado, Xia Hai rushed inside, fearing that the police might use excessive force against Xia He.

As soon as he entered, Xia Hai heard the impatient shouts of the police. “Shut your mouth!

“You’ve been howling all night!

“If you didn’t hit someone, would you be detained here?

“If your family comes to bail you out, can you still stay here?”

Hearing the police officer’s frustrated words, Xia He finally fell silent.

However, after just a few seconds, he began begging again.

Xia Hai immediately sought out the investigating officer to understand the process for bail.

‘You can take him home, but he needs to report to the station regularly,” the officer explained. They were eager to get Xia He out since he had been quite a nuisance.

However, the formal process still needed to be followed..
