Siheyuan: After becoming a traitor, first let the Huai Ru River overflow its banks.

"Bang Geng, Bang Geng, Mom's here, Mom's here."

She rushed to the security office and saw the door was ajar. Without knocking, she pushed the door open and went in.

Then a child with his flesh torn open appeared before him. Who else could it be but Bang Geng?

Qin Huairu burst into tears.

"Bang Geng, my child."

When Banggeng saw that reinforcements had arrived, he cried out in pain as if he were being slaughtered.

"Mom, save me! I'm going to die!"

Banggeng cried his heart out, and Qin Huairu glared at Li Jianjun, standing in front of Banggeng like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

“Li Jianjun, take it out on me, don’t hit the child.”

Li Jianjun stared at Qin Huairu, and couldn't help but recall what this seemingly innocent woman had said to him last night.

They even thought they could outsmart Li Jianjun; they're really overestimating themselves.

"Qin Huairu, this is my duty, don't interfere with my official business."

"Get out of my way, you..."

Li Jianjun shoved Qin Huairu aside.

Just then, Li Weiguo and Ma Sijiu returned.

"Jianjun, these are the two accomplices. I brought them with me."

Qin Huairu looked up and everything went black before her eyes; she almost collapsed.

Xiao Dang and Huaihua also cried, their faces looking like pajamas.

"Mom, they're arresting me! Please save me!"

They were clearly terrified.

This scene completely terrified Qin Huairu.

She knelt down on the ground with a thud and immediately begged Li Jianjun for mercy.

"Brother Jianjun, I apologize for my poor attitude earlier. Please, please release them."

All three children have been arrested. How are they supposed to survive?

But Li Jianjun wouldn't have any of it and ordered Ma Sijiu and Li Weiguo to kick Qin Huairu out.

"All irrelevant people, please leave."

"We have our jobs."

Li Weiguo pulled Qin Huairu out and then slammed the door shut.

The people in the security department of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill may not have high official positions, but they wield considerable power.

Qin Huairu has really messed up.

If she hadn't deliberately kept Li Jianjun hanging yesterday, none of this would have happened today.

Qin Huairu regretted it so much that she cried uncontrollably outside.

Li Weiguo and Ma Sijiu frowned.

"Jianjun, what should we do with Qin Huairu?"

Li Jianjun smoked a cigarette, not taking Qin Huairu seriously.

"Ignore her, continue the interrogation."

That morning, Qin Huairu didn't return to the workshop at all; instead, she stood in front of the security office, crying her heart out.

Hearing the three children screaming inside as if they were murderers, Qin Huairu's heart broke.

No matter how much she pleaded, Li Jianjun remained unmoved.

When Qin Huairu was leaving get off work in the afternoon, she blocked the entrance of the security department.

It was already 6 p.m., and Li Weiguo and Ma Sijiu from the security department had gone home, as had the other employees.

Li Jianjun was the only person in the entire security department.

Qin Huairu wept bitterly and begged Li Jianjun.

"Brother Jianjun, I beg you, please release the three children!"

"The three of them are just children, how could they possibly steal money?"

Li Jianjun remained unmoved.

"The way you put it, no thief would be as quick to admit to stealing as a thief."

"Shouldn't we at least interrogate them?"

Qin Huairu bit her lower lip, feeling that Li Jianjun was targeting her.

The words she said to Li Jianjun last night are still ringing in my ears.

She just wanted to keep Li Jianjun hanging, to let go of the stick, and didn't want to put in too much effort at all.

Unexpectedly, Li Jianjun saw through her scheme and treated Banggeng ruthlessly.

This made Qin Huairu extremely regretful.

"Brother Jianjun, I beg you, I'll do anything you ask as long as you release Banggeng and the others."

Chapter 8: At Jia Zhangshi's behest, Qin Huairu comes to the door to lie down and settle down.

This woman is hypocritical and will stop at nothing to achieve her goals.

Li Jianjun wasn't in a hurry; he had plenty of time.

"Go tell that to the ghosts. Now, I'm going home for dinner."

Li Jianjun locked the door, turned around and went home, leaving Qin Huairu alone there.

Qin Huairu watched Li Jianjun's retreating figure, muttering to herself.

"What kind of evil spirit has befallen Li Jianjun?"

In the past, she used her body to entice men, who would surround her like lapdogs, offering her their services.

But her moves didn't seem to work on Li Jianjun.

Inside the security office, the three children were still crying and howling, which made Qin Huairu very distressed.

"Banggeng, Huaihua, take good care of your sister. Mom will rescue you tomorrow."

The root of the problem lay with Li Jianjun, and Qin Huairu pinpointed this.

"It seems that the kids won't be allowed out unless Li Jianjun gets some benefit from it."

Qin Huairu returned home, looking like a walking corpse.

Jia Zhangshi happily came over to greet them, but did not see Bang Geng.

"Where's my precious grandson? Didn't Li Jianjun say he'd release him today?"

Qin Huairu burst into tears.

"They beat the sticks to a pulp, and Huaihua and Xiaodang cried until no one could hear them anymore."

Madam Jia was furious.

"Didn't Li Jianjun promise to let my precious grandson come back today?"

Qin Huairu had a long face.

"Mom, we can't keep Li Jianjun hanging like this. He's trying to intimidate us."

"What should we do?"

Madam Jia knew in her heart that unless she took something really serious, she wouldn't be able to rescue her beloved grandson.

Jia Zhangshi gritted her teeth.

"Alright, give him a little taste of sweetness, maybe hold his hand or kiss him, but don't think about anything else. If you dare to cheat on my Dongxu, I'll break your legs."

Even at this point, Jia Zhangshi still acted like a mother-in-law.

For some reason, upon hearing Jia Zhangshi's agreement, Qin Huairu suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.

Subtle chemical changes were taking place inside her body; her husband, Jia Dongxu, had been dead for three years.

She's currently in her prime, so it's abnormal to say she has no needs at all.

Qin Huairu wiggled her hips, feeling a ticklish sensation inside the pomelo, like tiny insects crawling on it.

"Mom, what are you saying? I'm not that kind of person. If you're really worried, then go and ask Li Jianjun."

Qin Huairu felt so wronged that she almost cried. All three children were in such a state, yet her mother-in-law still didn't believe her.

In fact, although she flirted with other men, she didn't actually have many chances of succeeding.

On the one hand, it was because her mother-in-law kept a close eye on her; on the other hand, people in this era were very strict about issues of conduct.

Therefore, Qin Huairu has virtually no chance of cheating.

When Jia Zhangshi heard Qin Huairu's words, she wanted to scold her, but then she felt that Qin Huairu made sense.

"Alright, alright, as a member of the Jia family, you must remain chaste for Dongxu."

"Go ahead, but be discreet and don't let anyone find out."

"One more thing, you can't really fight Li Jianjun with swords and spears; you can only touch him and stop there."

Even now, Qin Huairu still feels like she's dreaming.

My mother-in-law is such a conservative person, yet she actually let me seduce Li Jianjun. Isn't it all for the sake of our three children?

Most importantly, sexual relations must not occur; this is a difficult balance to strike.

Qin Huairu dressed up and went out of the house to find Li Jianjun.

It was already 8 p.m., and there were few people in the courtyard; many had gone to bed early.
