Chapter 163: Chapter 160: What Crime Did Teacher Liu Commit

"Principal Wei and the president, accompanied by two police officers, came to see my husband; it must be something my husband did."

Teacher Liu’s wife quickly grasped the situation, her expression surely couldn’t look good?

"Could it be that this matter is really related to Teacher Liu, Liu was so foolish." Principal Wei sighed in his heart.

She couldn’t imagine that someone as upright as Teacher Liu would do such a foolish thing.

"Originally, I planned to let my husband turn himself in once our daughter’s illness improved, but I never thought they’d come to him so quickly." Teacher Liu’s wife felt a sudden gloom in her eyes, clearly aware of what her husband had done.

For their daughter, her husband made a mistake, and as a wife, she was also heartbroken. But lacking money, what else could they do? They could only resort to desperate measures, but now it was too late for words.

She looked pitifully at Ye Fan and Zhang Lu, saying, "You’re here to find my husband, right?"

"Yes!" Zhang Lu didn’t hide their intention.

"Indeed, that’s the case." Teacher Liu’s wife trembled internally and said bitterly, "Could you give my husband a few days? Wait until my daughter’s illness is better before taking him away? This matter is also my fault; I encouraged my husband to commit a crime, so I’m an accomplice too."

"This is a serious matter. We need to talk to Teacher Liu directly, so don’t try to cover for him. If you are guilty, we’ll naturally find out." Zhang Lu replied bluntly, without any leniency.

"I know my request is too much." Teacher Liu’s wife paled, pleading, "Can you not take him in front of my daughter? I’ll call him out, how about that?"

"Go take care of your daughter, we’ll wait here. You need to tell Teacher Liu to cooperate with us; there might still be a chance for leniency. If he resists stubbornly, even the deities won’t be able to help." Principal Wei advised earnestly.

"I know what to do, thank you very much." With a sorrowful expression, Teacher Liu’s wife entered the ward.

Principal Wei felt as if in a dream, unable to believe her suspicions and judgments. She murmured, "Is Teacher Liu really involved with criminals for money and committed unforgivable crimes?"

"Let’s ask Teacher Liu first before judging. It’s not right to hastily deny Teacher Liu now." Chu Mengyao said softly.

She didn’t believe Teacher Liu would do such things, but the clues before her pointed to Teacher Liu—what else could she say?

No matter how much one believes in Teacher Liu, everyone makes mistakes at times.

Teacher Liu’s wife had already almost confessed; for their daughter, Teacher Liu deliberately committed a crime. He was aware of his wrongdoing and didn’t intend to escape but planned to turn himself in once their daughter’s illness improved, as his wife said.

But to find the missing child quickly, they couldn’t let the case drag on—they had to solve it as fast as possible.

"After chasing leads for so long without finding any clues, now it seems there’s a glimmer of hope." Zhang Lu was quite surprised; despite her efforts on the missing child case, she hadn’t even locked onto a suspect, but now there was some progress.

Ye Fan glanced at Zhang Lu but remained silent, thinking she might be celebrating too early.

In the ward, Teacher Liu was watching over his daughter, who lay in bed, looking pale.

Just as Principal Wei knew, she was aware only of the nickname Yaya for Teacher Liu’s daughter, but didn’t know Yaya was ill, and seriously ill at that.

"Yaya, mom went to buy you some treats, shall I tell you a story?" Teacher Liu said tenderly.

"Okay, I want to hear the story about the Big Bad Wolf." Yaya smiled.

"My little princess, whatever you want to hear, I’ll tell you." Teacher Liu’s kindly face was full of smiles.

At this moment, his wife entered the ward, having steadied her emotions, but she couldn’t fully hide the conflict in her gaze.

"Mommy." Yaya called.

"Good girl, I’ll buy you something to eat later. I have to discuss something with your dad." The wife forced a smile.

"Mommy, I’m not hungry yet." Yaya didn’t notice anything strange, but Teacher Liu sensed something was off.

"Who brought these things?" Teacher Liu asked.

"Principal Wei." The wife replied sadly.

Teacher Liu pulled his wife aside, puzzled, "Principal Wei doesn’t know about our daughter’s illness, did she just happen to come by? That can’t be right. If Principal Wei came to visit, she would have come in long ago to see Yaya. Moreover, your expression seems off. Tell me, did something happen?"

"Principal Wei came with the president too, and..." His wife hesitated, unable to continue.

Teacher Liu urged, "Speak clearly, what else?"

"And two police officers." His wife said quietly.

"The president coming already seems strange, and now there are two police officers, looks like something’s up with me—they’re here for me. I planned to delay a few days before turning myself in, didn’t expect things to go wrong so soon." Teacher Liu’s expression dimmed, his body trembled.

"What should we do now?" His wife worried, "Why don’t you escape? I’ll go outside and hold off Principal Wei and the others, you find a chance to run away and we’ll talk later."

"How could that work? I made a mistake, and I should face the consequences. Not to mention whether I can actually escape, but even if I could, I shouldn’t. I knew this day would come, and I never regretted it. Once I’m caught, the burden of looking after our daughter will fall entirely on your shoulders." Teacher Liu said.

His wife fought back the urge to cry, unable to hold it back much longer. With their daughter behind them, she couldn’t cry.

"Principal Wei and the others are waiting outside for me, aren’t they?" Teacher Liu closed his eyes, took a deep breath.

His wife nodded.

Teacher Liu wiped away tears from the corners of his eyes, forced a smile, and looked at his daughter, "Yaya, daddy has something to take care of. Be a good girl and listen to mommy, okay?"

"Okay, daddy, I’m always good." Yaya smiled.

Teacher Liu left the ward.

His wife watched her husband’s departing figure, emotions fluctuating, tears like a breached dam, pouring out uncontrollably.

No longer able to hold back her tears, she knew once her husband was caught, seeing him again would mean visiting him in prison.

The gentleness in her heart exploded, even in front of their daughter, she couldn’t suppress the roiling emotions.

"Mommy!" Yaya was frightened.

His wife wiped away her tears, though they continued to flow unstoppably, flushing out no matter how many were wiped away.

"Baby." The wife sobbed, coming to her daughter’s side, gently holding her.

"Mommy, what’s wrong?" Yaya asked in her innocent voice.

"Nothing." The wife whimpered.
