Unexpectedly, Old Wu suddenly said, “Miss Bai, Mr. Chen, since your misunderstanding has been resolved, I’ll make a move first. Mr. Chen, we agreed that I’ll turn myself in after the matter is done. I’ll go to the police station now. If you’re worried, you can call the police and get them to bring me over… Then, I’ll provide the same testimony at the police station. I believe Miss Bai won’t malign you again. Then, thank you for today. You’re my great benefactor. When I’m done, I’ll definitely repay your kindness.”

Chen Chen could not bear it anymore. He had really not thought about calling the police.

In the beginning, the more important thing to ask him to go to the police station was to provide a convincing testimony. However, with the recording pen as the most concrete evidence, this testimony was actually not that important anymore. It was just icing on the cake.

“Think about it first. I have something to say to Old Wu,” Chen Chen said to Bai Ran. With that, he pulled Old Wu out.

“Mr. Chen, do you have anything else to say?” Old Wu asked in confusion.

Chen Chen took a deep breath and said, “Old Wu, I’ve thought it through. Go home first!”

Compared to adding flowers to a brocade, he might be more willing to help.

Old Wu looked at him in confusion and shock and said, “What did you say?”

Chen Chen said calmly, “Old Wu, I won’t call the police on your case for the time being. It’s not easy for your family either. Go back and treat the child well. I promised you to let the child go to school. I won’t go back on my word.”

Chen Chen looked at Old Wu, who was wearing ragged clothes and had a weathered face. He really could not bear to send him to jail.

He was just a helpless father. In the end, what was wrong? He could only blame himself for being poor.

Old Wu could not believe his ears. He was instantly grateful. Without a word, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chen Chen.

Chen Chen was shocked. He quickly dragged his lame foot forward to help Old Wu up and said, “What are you doing? I can’t take it!”

Old Wu said excitedly, “Great benefactor, I have to kowtow to you. I know I did something wrong and it’s only right that I go to jail, but do you know? I don’t want to implicate my children because of my mistake. I really want to be outside and watch them study, watch them treat their illnesses, and watch them grow up. I don’t want others to poke their backbone since they were young. You gave me a chance to turn over a new leaf. I promise you, I won’t do it again!”

Looking at his sincere and confident expression, Chen Chen felt a little sad. He pursed his lips and said, “Go quickly and see your child. There’s still a mess waiting for me to clean up!”

Old Wu left gratefully, and Chen Chen walked back to Bai Ran’s house.

Bai Ran was sitting on the sofa with her head buried deep in her knees. She was already thin and small, and Chen Chen could not help but pity her when he saw her conflicted look.

When Bai Ran heard Chen Chen enter, she suddenly looked up and said seriously, “I’m sorry. I’ve thought it through. I misunderstood you.”

Chen Chen did not expect her to think it through so quickly and apologize to him. Instead, he did not know what to say.

After a long time, he replied, “This is nothing.”

Bai Ran took a deep breath and said, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have listened to Ah Xuan completely. I’ve never seriously thought about what’s so important about this.”

When Chen Chen went out earlier, she reflected on herself. Indeed, as Chen Chen had said, recent things seemed to be too coincidental.

The stakes were all aimed at Chen Chen. Although the evidence was very conclusive, it always felt strange.

Now, if Yu Xuan was the one who made the kidnapper change his mind, then the surveillance video Yu Xuan had given her was probably done by Yu Xuan herself…

Bai Ran suddenly felt that she believed in Yu Xuan without a doubt. It seemed like she was a little paranoid. Even at the last moment, she was still wondering if Yu Xuan had obtained the surveillance video Hu Wan had faked.

Chen Chen looked at her pitiful appearance and the pity in his heart suddenly doubled.

His voice was very gentle. “Don’t say that. It’s not your fault. We were all deceived by her. I was wrong too. If I had been more careful, I wouldn’t have been tricked like this and wouldn’t have always made you misunderstand.”

Bai Ran looked at him, feeling extremely conflicted.
