Chapter 484 Li Yipei’s Diary (3)_1
He picked up his phone to look, and it was a call from his boss. At this point, he didn’t dare hesitate and answered the call immediately, "Hello?" He had barely spoken a word when he heard the stern voice of his boss from the other end of the line. "You’re to bring Li Yipei’s daughter back to the station as well, she’s implicated in this corruption case too."
"Yes, Chief, I understand," the man thought to himself in shock. He hadn’t expected the corruption to be a family affair, with even the daughter involved.
After hanging up the phone, he said to his subordinate, "You, go and bring her as well, we’re all heading back to the station." Then, turning to Li Yipei and her mother, he said, "Now, there’s no need for such sorrowful goodbyes, follow me to the station, you’ll have each other for company."
"Why should my daughter be taken? She hasn’t done anything wrong." Li Yipei’s mother, seeing her daughter being taken away, quickly started to protest.
The chief glanced at Li Yipei’s mother and said, "Whether your daughter has committed a crime will be determined at the station. Let’s go, take her away."
However, Li Yipei, from the moment the chief said they were taking her to the station, remained silent. She was calm, unnaturally so.
Inside, Li Yipei was anything but calm. As soon as the chief spoke, she knew that her actions had been exposed. She had a moment of panic, but then she thought of them, of how surely they wouldn’t just watch her and her family be taken without doing anything about it.
She naively hoped that since her family had always been reliable for them, the people over there, they certainly wouldn’t abandon them. They would surely find a way to rescue them. With them on her side, Li Yipei found peace in her heart.
After the Anti-Corruption Bureau took Li Yipei and her mother away, the relief was palpable among the dermatology department staff at the hospital.
"They’re finally gone. If they had stayed any longer, I wouldn’t know what to do," a female doctor in a white coat said, breathing a sigh of relief as she watched Li Yipei and her family leave, and then said to her assistant.
"Yeah, it’s good that they’re gone. I don’t know what scratched her face, but the wound is terrible," the assistant recalled the scars on Li Yipei’s face with visible distress.
