Chapter 168 - Baoshan is Leaving (1/2)

“Mom, Little Ye is fine. Don’t worry.” Xiao Baoshan said calmly.

“Then,” Li Hongmei asked anxiously. “When can she be released? Baoshan, we should do something. We must save Little Ye from prison. I heard from the neighbors that the county magistrate was covering up for Sister Xiang in court. He holds the greatest power in this county and we can’t expect justice from him. Can you ask your friends in the provincial capital for help?”

Li Hongmei didn’t believe that her son was merely an ordinary person. Even though he hid it well, she knew he must have a wide network of friends.

Xiao Baoshan answered in a flat tone, “Mom, trust me. I know what to do.”

“I know you can sort it out.” Li Hongmei wiped the tears from her eyes.

There were not so many customers in the restaurant. Xiao Baoshan helped her clean the tables and arrange the chairs properly. After that, he turned to Li Hongmei and said, “Mom, I’ll be gone for two days.”

“To the provincial capital?” Li Hongmei asked.

He nodded.

“Take care, my boy,” Li Hongmei said.

Walking up to her, he put his hands on her shoulders and said, “Mom, I’ll see you.”

Li Hongmei was somehow stunned. Why did she feel that her son would never come back again? But Ye Xiaoxian was waiting for their rescue. Suppressing her worry, she said, “See you, Baoshan.”

Li Hongmei’s eyes kept on twitching lately. She wasn’t in the mood to look after the business anymore. Every day when she went to the restaurant, she would stand at the entrance and strain her eyes for her son’s figure. She had a hunch that something bad would happen after her son left.
