Chapter 228 Stealing a Gas Cylinder from the Neighbor's House

"So you're planning to steal a gas cylinder from your neighbor's house to boil water for making milk?"

Pan Yi nodded hurriedly, "Yes."

The police officer looked at Fu Huaiyi and asked, "Comrade, has your family suffered any losses?"

"No."

"Since there was no loss..." I thought to myself, you got beaten up again, so you've vented your anger.

"Look at this matter, are you going to discuss it privately or settle it publicly?"

Fu Huaiyi gestured with his chin, "Ask him."

Pan Yi hurriedly said, "Settle it privately, I want to settle it privately. Fu Huaiyi, I'm so unlucky to have fallen into your hands. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Oh, I don't believe you're here to steal gas cylinders. I hope you can investigate this thoroughly and handle it officially."

Pan Yi: "..."

Does that mean he's unwilling to settle out of court?

So why did he make people ask him that question?

"Pah! You have the nerve to say that to me? That was clearly Miss Lin's house. Miss Lin didn't accuse me of stealing, so what right do you have to accuse me of stealing? What right do you have to make this public?"

Pan Yi spat and retorted, "What are you doing at Miss Lin's house in the middle of the night? And where is Miss Lin? Where did you take her? Comrade, I'm going to sue him for kidnapping."

Why is a third person being dragged into this?

The police officers looked at Fu Huaiyi with bewildered expressions, waiting to see what he would say.

Fu Huaiyi calmly took out a property ownership certificate and showed it to the police officer.

"That house is mine."

What?

Pan Yi's eyes widened. "You're saying that apartment on the fifth floor is yours?"

"Correct."

"So, Miss Lin...is staying at your house?"

"Yeah, she's my girlfriend. Can't I give her a place to live?"

Pan Yi: "..."

"But she has always lived alone in that house."

"Yes, after all, we're not married yet, so it's not appropriate for us to live together. That house is for her to live in alone."

"What about her?"

Fu Huaiyi said calmly, "I recently wanted to stay in that house, so I moved her to one of my other houses."

The other person has a property certificate, and they are in a romantic relationship with the person who originally lived in that house, so his claim of turning the tables is unfounded.

As the homeowner, he naturally has the right to hold the burglar accountable.

"Comrade, leave him here with us, and we will investigate the matter as soon as possible."

"Okay, trouble."

"Then please come over and sign this."

Fu Huaiyi nodded, signed the document, and left.

Behind them came Pan Yi's curses and pleas for mercy.

He was scared, worried that he might not only fail to rescue his mother but also get himself killed.

So no matter what they asked, even if they made him stay up all night, didn't let him sleep, and had different people keep him company, he only stuck to one version of events.

No matter what they asked, he insisted that he had gone to Lin Yuyao's house to steal a gas cylinder.

The reason is that he has a two-month-old son, but the mother doesn't have enough milk, so the baby has to drink formula. In this freezing weather, the formula has to be mixed with hot water.

He had no other choice but to steal gas cylinders.

As for why he targeted Lin Yuyao?

Naturally, it was because he had already found out that Lin Yuyao lived alone, and her rooftop was easy to climb and make a move from.

……

Huang Chun stayed at the door the whole time, too afraid to go back to sleep.

And with such a big thing happening, she couldn't sleep.

Not knowing how things were going, she didn't dare disturb her two sleeping sisters-in-law.

And so, he waited alone at the door.

She didn't wait for Pan Yi to return, but she finally got to see Fu Huaiyi come back.

"Younger brother of the Fu family."

Fu Huaiyi: "..."

Just as Fu Huaiyi was about to go up to the fifth floor, Huang Chun suddenly opened the door and called out to him.

Fu Huaiyi withdrew his foot. "What? Looking for Pan Yi?"

Huang Chun nodded and made up an excuse, saying, "He said he went out to borrow hot water, but I don't know where he went to borrow it. He hasn't come back for a long time. Do you... do you know?"

Ha, she even started acting with him.

“I know you’ve been eavesdropping behind the door, no need to pretend anymore.”

Huang Chun's face stiffened, and she forced a smile, saying, "What do you mean? What do you mean by acting? I don't understand. My husband went out to get hot water. If you saw him, just let me know. If you didn't see him, never mind, I'll go ask someone else."

Still pretending.

Let her do whatever she wants.

Fu Huaiyi said directly, "I've put him in jail."

"What?" Huang Chun staggered, feeling as if the sky had fallen.

Ignoring whether he would wake the girls, he shouted, "You took him to the police station? What did he do to deserve this? What will happen to our family if you take him to the police station?"

Fu Huaiyi, even though our two families aren't related by marriage anymore, we were still relatives. How could you be so heartless? Our second son is missing, our only breadwinner, and you've sent him to the police station. What are we, this large family, supposed to do?

What should I do? Oh my God, what should I do? My daughter is disabled, and my son is so young. They'll be fatherless now…”

Huang Chun sat on the ground, slapping his thigh and crying. He kept repeating the same few sentences, which made Fu Huaiyi frown.

He probably had no experience of a woman sitting on the ground crying and wailing while using a cartwheel, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

This finally alerted the others.

First, Pan Xiaohua and the others came out.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

Then Huang Chun started crying to Pan Xiaohua, saying that her older brother went to get hot water but was dragged into the police station by Fu Huaiyi.

Pan Xiaohua swayed.

Can she believe that she was sent to the police station for borrowing water?

Definitely not.

What stupid thing did he do to get himself arrested?

Despite her constant complaints about her older brother, she is finding it hard to accept that he has also been imprisoned.

Mother went inside, and my second brother has disappeared somewhere. If my eldest brother goes inside too, this family is truly doomed.

With a disabled niece, a premature nephew, and only a sister-in-law without a backbone, how could she possibly take care of these siblings?

It's over, my brother's family is finished.

"My older brother... is he really in jail?"

"Ah."

Pan Xiaohua held onto the door frame to prevent herself from falling.

"What did he do?"

Fu Huaiyi clicked his tongue. "You'll have to ask your sister-in-law."

After saying that, he turned and went upstairs.

A few residents downstairs, who weren't afraid of the cold, came out to see what was going on after hearing Huang Chun's cries, wearing coats.

Right now, I'm on the third and a half floor of the stairs, looking up at Huang Chun sitting on the ground.

Pan Xiaohua asked with a dark face, "Sister-in-law, what exactly did my brother do?"

Huang Chun cried out, "Didn't I tell you? He went to borrow hot water for your nephew. Oh dear, how was I supposed to know that borrowing hot water would lead him to the police station?"

Yesterday, Pan Xiaohua felt something was strange because the gas in the house was out. She said she was going to buy another gas cylinder, but her older brother stopped her.

They said the lawsuit would be over in a couple of days and the family would go back home. They wouldn't be able to use up another can anyway, so they should just bear with it.
