Chapter 445 Mr. Fu's Demand for Compensation
Chapter 445 Mr. Fu's Demand for Compensation
After finishing breakfast, An Xiaoyue strolled around the yard.
As temperatures rise, the flowers in the yard are blooming one after another.
The first and most beautiful flower to bloom is the oxalis.
The pale pink, five-petaled flowers with green stamens bloom in clusters, adorning the garden that is oblivious to spring.
Just looking at it makes me happy.
Because it has three leaves, it is also known as trifoliate acid.
Xiaoyue initially mistook it for a four-leaf clover and transplanted it from the Fu family's back garden to the Unknown Spring Garden.
My aunt said that the tender stems and leaves of wood sorrel can be used in salads or soups.
But she couldn't bear to eat them; let the beautiful flowers adorn the unknown spring.
An Xiaoyue picked up the watering can and, imitating Sheng Yang, watered the plants.
"lady!"
Before Cui Ma even showed herself, panicked voices came from outside the courtyard gate.
An Xiaoyue's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.
Cui Ma has always been steady and reliable in her work.
Something serious must have happened to cause this unusual behavior.
"I'm here," An Xiaoyue replied, putting down the showerhead in her hand.
Holding Lucky in her arms, Aunt Cui stepped through the courtyard gate and walked towards her.
Qiu Jie, who was tidying up her lucky charms, came out when she heard Cui Ma's voice.
Knowing that Madam and Sister Cui were busy, she took Lucky with her.
After settling her son in, An Xiaoyue finally asked, "Aunt Cui, what happened?"
"Master, he went to Haitanglou."
An Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
What did she think it was about?
"It's alright, Grandpa can go. He's feeling better now, so it's only natural for him to go see Jiang Kai."
"The old master went to Haitang Tower because he heard that the prison police had arrived."
police?
Didn't they just come to deal with Jiang Kai yesterday?
Why did you come again today?
An Xiaoyue sensed something was wrong. "I'll go check it out."
An Xiaoyue and Cui Ma left one after the other.
Haitanglou.
Jiang Kai's heart raced uncontrollably as he watched the two prison guards walk in.
He licked his dry lips. "Officer, I..."
His voice trembled with fear.
"I'm trying my best to clean up, I..."
Jiang Kai thought of his previous experiences in prison; what was not finished was not finished.
If you talk too much, the punishment will only be more severe.
The police officer in front of him was someone he had never seen while he was in prison.
But since they all work in the same prison, their methods are hardly any better.
Jiang Kai gave up on explaining and assured, "Officer, give me a little more time, and I'll be able to clean it up quickly."
The prison guard looked at the yard, which had been mostly cleaned. The dust on the leaves had been wiped away, revealing their emerald green surfaces.
The filth around the flower bed was wiped clean, revealing the true appearance of the pebbles.
The two prison guards looked around expressionlessly, then walked up the steps and into the room.
Jiang Kai stood there nervously, still holding a rag in his hand, not daring to move around.
He was dissatisfied, but compared to Guan Xiaohei, he thought it was better to be more obedient.
Shortly after, two prison guards came out of the house.
"5417."
"arrive."
Jiang Kai's loud and clear answer pleased the two prison guards.
"1 point deducted for incomplete cleaning."
The prison guard took notes in his notebook, but after a few seconds, he still didn't hear any movement from Jiang Kai.
He looked up at Jiang Kai with a gaze that held a hint of confirmation.
Seeing that the other person just kept their head down and didn't say anything?
He understood that Jiang Kai was afraid of the dark room, which was why he dared not utter any complaints.
"According to the prison's rules and regulations, inmates' performance points and work points can be reduced if they reach certain standards, and you are no exception."
Jiang Kai finally reacted upon hearing this.
His surprised gaze fell on the prison guard, but he just looked at him.
He couldn't speak unless he was given the opportunity to.
His case was serious enough that a reduced sentence was not allowed, and he remembered that very clearly.
That's why he didn't get many points during his year or so in prison.
Grades are useless to him; he might as well just drift along and do nothing.
Now, the prison guards are telling him that he can have his sentence reduced.
He immediately saw hope.
Given the opportunity to gain his freedom early, he naturally wanted to get rid of the electronic shackles on his feet.
"This is one of the compensations that Mr. Fu Shengyang fought for for you."
Fu Shengyang?
Jiang Kai's hands, which were on either side of his trouser legs, gripped the seams tightly.
Fu Shengyang would love for him to disappear from this world, why would he be so kind?
Jiang Kai didn't believe it.
"Officer, who did you say it was?" A cheerful voice came from the courtyard gate.
Clearly, Jiang Kai wasn't the only one who didn't believe it; even Fu Jinyun had some doubts.
Because of his mother's passing, Sheng Yang hated his aunt Wan Tang, and consequently disliked Jiang Kai as well.
Now, Sheng Yang is actually proposing a reduced sentence as compensation for Jiang Kai?
When the prison guard saw the newcomer, he didn't show the displeasure he had displayed with the younger guards before. Instead, he smiled and invited Fu Jinyun to join him.
"Mr. Fu, please come in. I have something to discuss with you today."
With permission, Fu Jinyun allowed the caregiver to push him forward.
Having heard the young prison guard's words, Fu Jinyun knew the rules. She parked her wheelchair outside the line and did not cross it to obstruct the prison guard's work.
"This condition was indeed proposed by Mr. Fu Shengyang during the negotiations. With the permission of the court, we are only now informing you of this information."
Fu Jinyun was immediately filled with mixed feelings.
He cursed inwardly, "Fu Jinyun, Fu Jinyun, look at the mess you've made!"
"in addition......"
Just as the prison guard was about to speak, he caught sight of a man and a woman standing at the door, and he smiled and gestured for them to enter.
"Mr. and Mrs. Fu are here too, so it's perfect that they're here together."
Upon hearing the prison guard's words, Fu Jinyun and Jiang Kai both looked towards the door.
An Xiaoyue's face was flushed and she was slightly out of breath, which was because she had walked too fast.
Fu Shengyang's breathing was steady, but his face remained as cold as ever.
On her way here, An Xiaoyue happened to run into Fu Shengyang on his way home, so she pulled him along.
An Xiaoyue didn't care about anything else, she grabbed Fu Shengyang's hand and went to her grandfather's side.
"Everyone is here, let me introduce myself. I am the newly appointed prison warden, my surname is Chen. From now on, I will take over Jiang Kai's work."
The three nodded in unison, indicating that they understood.
“Yesterday was my first time meeting Jiang Kai, and his performance was very poor. I was also very dissatisfied. This spot is where I plan to put him in solitary confinement,” Warden Chen said, pointing to the markings on the ground.
The three of them were unaware of the terror of the dark room.
But looking at the space, which is less than one square meter, one can imagine how uncomfortable it would be to be confined in such a cramped space.
"This will be discussed later; for now, it's just a plan." Warden Chen's expression remained serious. "I'm here today mainly for two things."
Those present remained quiet and listened attentively to what he had to say.
"First, in addition to cleaning and tidying up his living environment, Jiang Kai also needs to complete his labor tasks. The performance points and work points I just mentioned will be awarded from two aspects. If you want to leave early, then perform well and earn points."
"Secondly, the colleague who was previously in charge of the work said something wrong, and after Mrs. Fu reported the situation on the relevant platform, we verified that this did indeed happen. The young colleague has been disciplined, and here is a handwritten apology letter from him. We hope to receive Mr. Fu's forgiveness."
Warden Chen took the envelope from his colleague, walked up to Fu Jinyun, and handed the envelope to Fu Jinyun with both hands.
He was sincere, saying, "Mr. Fu, I'm sorry, I sincerely apologize to you."
