Chapter 1513 Extra: Regaining Freedom

Xu Zehua took off his prison uniform and put on his old suit from seven years ago. Because he had lost a lot of weight, the suit looked bigger. He was no longer as tall and straight as usual. His back was hunched and his hair was white. He looked like a child who had just been punished, fragile and helpless.

Xu Yue hurried forward and hugged him tightly...

This was the first time Xu Yue and her father hugged each other. When she was young, she didn't know how important he was and never expressed her feelings. But through this incident, she really understood the importance of family affection, how important he was in her heart, and how strong the blood-related feelings were.

"Dad, welcome home!" Xu Yue couldn't help but shed tears.

"I've finally waited for this day..." Xu Zehua didn't cry. He breathed a sigh of relief, as if all the grievances and repression over the years were released at this moment.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I should have come to see you earlier." Xu Yue looked at him with guilt and said.

This was the first time in seven years that Xu Yue had looked at him so closely. There was a reason why she looked so good. Although the years had left traces on his face, it was still difficult to hide his elegance and handsomeness.

"Don't blame you, don't blame you..." Xu Zehua patted his daughter's back to calm her down.

"We meet again. Do you still remember me?" The deputy director walked to Xu Zehua and said to him with a smile.

After hearing the deputy director's voice, Xu Zehua let go of the arm that was holding Xu Yue, and she stood aside.

"How could I not remember? You were the one who arrested me in person that year." Xu Zehua's eyes were full of resentment.

It turned out that the deputy director was the one who arrested Xu Zehua in person that year. No wonder he remembered this matter so clearly, and he could overturn the case in such a short time and let Li Wanxiang plead guilty.

"I'm sorry. I came here today to apologize to you. I thought I had solved a big case, but I didn't expect you to be framed. You have appealed so many times over the years and were refuted. I even think it's ridiculous. I always think you are like this because you don't give up. Xu Zehua, I'm sorry. If I hadn't been blinded by Li Wanxiang's methods, you wouldn't have stayed in prison for seven years. This is my fault..." The deputy director bowed deeply to Xu Zehua.

Xu Yue was very angry at first, but seeing the deputy director's sincere attitude, she didn't say anything more.

"Do you know how much I hated you when I first went in? Every time I was bullied by the so-called bosses in the prison, I hated you more. You destroyed everything for me when my career was at its best, my family, my family members, all my misfortunes were caused by you, and you, because you solved a big case, you were successfully promoted and became a hero admired by everyone. Now you know you are wrong, then who will pay for the injustice I suffered for seven years?" Xu Zehua looked at the deputy director angrily, his face very solemn.

"I know that what happened back then was indeed my fault. I did not fulfill my duties, so I made a mistake in judgment. Everything that caused today's situation is my fault. So yesterday, after asking the city-level leaders for instructions, I decided to return your property, house and company that were confiscated that year. Here are all the property certificates and house keys." The deputy director took out a folder and handed it to Xu Zehua.

Xu Zehua took the heavy folder with trembling hands. That was the kingdom he had built for half his life...

"Also, I submitted my resignation report to the General Administration before I came here. It was you who told me with your actions that I was not worthy of being a people's policeman. I was willing to receive the punishment I deserved. I also put on the hat of deputy director by stepping on your head. Now I have completely thrown it away. Whether you accept my apology or not, I should say sorry to you. I have wronged you for the past seven years..." The words of the deputy director shocked and surprised Xu Yue.

The deputy director of the Public Security Bureau could actually take off his official hat in person to make up for his mistakes seven years ago. This move made Xu Yue admire him from the bottom of her heart.

"What did you say?" Xu Zehua was also frightened by his words, just like Xu Yue.

"I hope you can accept my apology and wish you a happy life in the days to come. I'm leaving first." After the deputy director finished speaking, he turned around and got into the car very casually.

"Wait a minute!" Xu Zehua walked to the side of the car and stopped the deputy director who was about to leave.

"Although it was because of your mistake that I suffered for seven years in vain, it is undeniable that you are a good policeman because you have your own principles. What happened to me is just an exception. No one will forget the contribution you made to the people. My hatred for you was only at the beginning. Later, I didn't blame you after a long time." Xu Zehua's words made the deputy director sitting in the car burst into tears instantly... He slowly rolled up the window, waved to the outside of the window, and then left.

In fact, the deputy director did not have to get Xu Zehua's forgiveness. As a policeman, he could not forgive the mistakes he made. The case that made him proud turned out to be framed in the end. This was a devastating destruction for him. Everything he did was to seek forgiveness from his heart, but he didn't know that no one would not make mistakes. It was precisely because of good policemen like him that they would respect this profession from the bottom of their hearts.

After the deputy director left, Xu Zehua held the file bag and stood there in silence for a long time.

He lost everything overnight seven years ago, and now everything he lost is back in his hands. Such a huge gap made him suspect that he was dreaming.

Xu Yue and He Dong stood aside, wanting to give him a little buffer time.

"Yueyue, let's go home." After a while, Xu Zehua turned around and said to Xu Yue.

So Xu Yue and He Dong helped him get into the car together.

In seven years, the outside world has undergone earth-shaking changes. The original Nokia has turned into an Apple mobile phone, and even produced the tenth generation. Society has long developed into technology. Xu Zehua's eyes have become very blurred. , having been out of touch with this society for seven years, he seemed a little out of place.

"What a big change." Xu Zehua said with emotion as he looked out the car window.

"Yueyue, did you bring a mirror?" Suddenly, he asked Xu Yue.

Xu Yue nodded, took out a small mirror from her bag and handed it to him.

Xu Zehua looked in the mirror for a long time, and then remained silent for a long time, looking disappointed...

He Dong saw Xu Zehua's disappointed expression through the rearview mirror, so he said, "Uncle, let's take you somewhere first. After we go there, can we go home to see auntie?"

He Dong's words not only made Xu Zehua curious, but also Xu Yue looked confused.

"Where are you going?" Xu Yue asked puzzledly.

"You'll know when we get there." He Dong said with a proud smile on his face.

So they had to follow He Dong to the mysterious place first. After a while, Xu Yue found the car parked at the private hairstyling shop where he had taken her.

He Dong took them in. While the clerk was washing Xu Zehua's hair, He Dong asked the hairstylist to dye Xu Zehua's hair black.

"Why do you do this?" Xu Yue still couldn't understand his intention.

"Uncle, you wash here first. Yueyue and I will go out for a while and be back soon, okay?" He Dong ignored her, but walked to Xu Zehua and said to him.

"good."

After hearing Xu Zehua's response, He Dong took Xu Yue's hand and walked out.

"What are you doing?"

"Don't you understand? This is the tacit understanding between men. Didn't you see how disappointed your dad was after looking in the mirror in the car? Do you know why?" He Dong asked her.

Xu Yue shook her head

"Think about it, your dad and your mom haven't seen each other for so long. As a man, he definitely hopes that he can appear in the best condition in front of the woman he likes, but when he sees his shabby suit and white hair He was instantly disappointed. He didn't want your mother to see him like this. This is a kind of face that exists in men." After hearing He Dong's words, Xu Yue suddenly realized.

If you think about it carefully, it's not just dad, but mom too. As soon as she heard that dad was coming home, she kept telling herself that love is really cute sometimes, and those so-called face are all manifestations of love...

Then He Dong took Xu Yue to a nearby shopping mall and bought Xu Zehua a new suit and shoes. He did know a lot better than her in this aspect.

After buying the things, they returned to the store again. By this time, Xu Zehua's white hair had been dyed back to black. He seemed to be more than ten years younger. His whole person looked much more energetic. Xu Yue's face showed Saw a happy smile.

Then He Dong helped Xu Zehua put on a new suit. The moment they came out, Xu Yue felt like he had gone back to seven years ago. At this time, Xu Zehua was a little thinner than he was seven years ago, but there was no other change at all. Handsome and energetic.

"Dad, you are so handsome!" Xu Yueleng looked at him blankly and said.

"Hahaha, now I can see your mother." Xu Zehua laughed happily.

Sure enough, men understand men. He Dong's move made Xu Zehua feel much better.

In just a few hours, Xu Zehua seemed to be a completely different person. The initial feeling of vicissitudes of life had completely disappeared, and his whole body exuded a sense of youth.

Xu Yue thought that her mother would also be very excited when she saw her father like this!

After everything was ready, they couldn't wait to return home...

Xu Yue couldn't imagine what kind of feelings her parents would have after meeting again. She just felt that this day was too difficult, just like when she met He Dong again, she couldn't believe that she could meet again in this life. When she met him, she believed in fate but also held on to her original intention. She thought they were the same. Although at that age they would not express their love as clearly as she and He Dong do now, the emotion in her heart was That will never change...

As the car drove on the road, Xu Zehua looked at the unfamiliar world with curiosity in his eyes. Gaining freedom was also a rebirth for him. He would face this unpredictable world again, with the person he loved most.

While driving, He Dong told Xu Zehua like a tour guide about all the changes that had taken place outside.

Xu Zehua was curious and felt lost at the same time. If he had not been imprisoned in prison for these seven years, what would he be like now?

Xu Yue secretly observed her father. She couldn't figure out what he was thinking, because she and her father didn't have much emotional communication in her memory, so her most memories of him were during this period. She felt ashamed when she thought about it. But she will definitely cherish the next days that their family will be together and do her best to make her parents feel at ease and happy.

"Yueyue, do you know where Xiaomei is now?" Xu Zehua finally asked the question Xu Yue was most afraid of him asking.

As a father, it was normal for him to miss his daughter, but Xu Yue didn't know how to tell him what Xu Mei had done over the years, including the fact that Xu Mei and Li Wanxiang's son were together.

Xu Mei's father watched her grow up. Unlike Xu Yue, she didn't know she had a father until she was seven or eight years old. In addition, her mother's death made her father feel guilty for her, so she In a sense, Xu Mei held a very important position in her father's heart, so Xu Yue decided to hide Xu Mei's whereabouts from him.

"We haven't contacted each other for a long time. I heard that she is out of town. Anyway, she is doing well. Don't worry. I will ask her to come visit you when she comes back." Xu Yue said to him with a smile.

"Really? As long as she lives well, it's fine." After listening to Xu Yue's words, Xu Zehua showed a happy smile on his face.

Xu Zehua is satisfied as long as he knows that Xu Mei is living a good life. The greatest love in the world is the love of parents for their children. They don't ask for anything in return, as long as you live a happy life, that's enough.

Xu Yue was wondering if Xu Mei would be happy or disappointed if she knew that her father was back. No one could guess Xu Mei's thoughts. Xu Yue wanted to find a time to talk to Xu Mei.

"We're here." As soon as He Dong finished speaking, Xu Yue found that the car had stopped downstairs.

She suddenly became nervous and didn't know what her mother was doing at home right now.

Xu Zehua sat in the car and stared at the residential buildings outside through the car window, with a guilty look on his face.

"Yueyue, have you and your mother lived here all these years?" After getting off the car, Xu Zehua asked Xu Yue in a low voice.

"Yes, it's nice here. The neighbors are very welcoming to us. Although the house is a little old and a little small, it's enough for my mother and I to live in." Xu Yue said with a smile.

Xu Zehua looked around and remained silent.

"Then let's go up, my mother is waiting for us up there." With that said, Xu Yue took Xu Zehua's arm.

"Um... Yueyue, I won't go up. My company still has things to deal with." The man behind him suddenly called Xu Yue.

Xu Yue suddenly remembered that He Dong had not been to the company today because of her father's affairs, which must have delayed a lot of things for him. It was all because she was too happy to ignore him.

"Then go quickly and be safe on the road."

"He Dong, thank you for taking this time. I heard Yueyue say that I wouldn't be released so soon without you. When you have time, come to my house for dinner. I will thank you very much." Xu Zehua expressed to He Dong Thanks.

"Uncle, you're welcome. This is what I should do. I'll come home and have a few drinks with you when I have time. I have something to do at the company and I can't accompany you today, so I'll leave first?" He Dong said to Xu Zehua humbly. said.

"Okay, okay, then you go ahead and go and drive safely." Xu Zehua said and waved to him.

Xu Yue also waved to He Dong and watched his car drive far away before she and her father turned around and went upstairs.

"He Dong is a good boy. I can see that he is really good to you. Yueyue, you can find such a good boyfriend. Dad is happy for you from the bottom of his heart!" In the elevator, Xu Zehua looked pleased. Said to his daughter.

Dad's words made Xu Yue feel happy. He was recognized by his father in such a short period of time. He was truly worthy of being He Dong, a man who has been outstanding since childhood!

Ding……

The elevator door opened, and Xu Yue and Xu Zehua walked out of the elevator together.

As she walked to the door, she heard him take a deep breath.

Xu Yue's heartbeat accelerated a lot at this moment. She took out the key from her bag and turned it open. When she opened the door, her mother had just walked out of the kitchen.

"Yueyue? Why are you back so early today? Has the company given you another holiday?" Because Xu Zehua was behind Xu Yue, Xu's mother did not see him.

Xu Yue did not speak, but turned around and moved behind her father.

The two of them were stunned for a long time when they saw each other. They were nearly three meters apart. No one came closer to the other. They just looked at each other quietly until their eyes turned red and tears fell...

Xu Yue watched silently, moved by this silent love.

I don't know how long they were silent. Finally, Xu Zehua slowly walked to his wife, with red eyes, and wiped the tears from her face with his hands.

"After so many years, you are still the same as before, unchanged at all." Xu Zehua looked at her with gentle eyes and said.

"No way, I'm old, but you are still as young and handsome as before." Xu's mother looked at Xu Zehua with obsessed eyes like a girl, and perhaps only they themselves could understand that emotion.

No matter how cruel time is and how deep the traces it has left on your face and body, in my eyes, you will always be the most beautiful (most handsome) and the youngest. Time can take away a lot, but only I can't take away my love for you!

This scene left a deep mark on Xu Yue's heart. This is a testimony of parents' love!

After two sentences, they hugged each other in front of each other for the first time. This was the first time Xu Yue had seen them hug each other in his life. They didn't cry, but Xu Yue cried...

At this time, Xu Yue's mobile phone beeped. When she opened it, she saw a message from He Dong: The company is fine, you don't have to worry. I left so that you and your family can have a good reunion. Now I am playing with the little guy Mingyu. .

Later, he also posted a selfie of him and Mingyu.

It turned out that he only left so that the three of them could have a good reunion, which was touching and reassuring. He Dong was so good that Xu Yue could no longer describe it with words or language.

"Look, Yueyue didn't tell me that you would be back today. I haven't prepared anything yet. I just marinated your favorite pork belly, and I still have to wait a few days for it to taste better before I can eat it." Xu's mother said like Like a panicked little girl, she said to her husband.

"It doesn't matter, we have plenty of time." Xu Zehua said softly.

His words moved Xu Yue extremely. After going through so many difficulties, his father could say these words with such confidence. There will be plenty of time in the future, and all the time in the future will be theirs.

Xu's mother's face blossomed with joy. Xu Yue thought that after not seeing them for seven years, they would be in love for a long time and cry like a mess, but no, after being moved, they seemed like an old married couple who had never been apart. Smiling, with a smile of happiness and satisfaction on his face...

"Dad, Mom, let's sit down and talk. Don't stand all the time." The two of them had been standing since they entered the door, so Xu Yue pulled them to sit on the sofa together.

"Yueyue, please bring me the document bag at the door." Xu Zehua pointed to Xu Yue in the direction of the entrance.

After entering the door, he placed the document bag in his hand at the door, which contained all his savings.

Xu Yue got the document bag and handed it to her father.

The two people on the sofa never let go of their hands, and the wife never took her eyes off her husband.

Xu Yue was moved by such small details. They had not seen each other for seven years, how much they should cherish such face-to-face time...

"You and Yueyue must have suffered a lot over the years. I'm sorry, but I'm not qualified and didn't take good care of you." Xu Zehua said to his wife with a guilty look on his face, holding the document bag in his hand.

"Zehua, that is all in the past. As long as you are well, I never thought I would see you again in my lifetime. In the days to come, I just want to be well with you and spend our time like an ordinary old married couple. For the rest of my life, nothing else matters," Xu's mother said to him gently.

In fact, every woman in love is the same. She doesn’t need glory, wealth, or great material conditions. As long as she is ordinary, as long as she can be with the person she likes, it is enough. Mom is like this, and Xu Yue is like this... …

"I know, but on this premise, I want to make your life better than it is now. You see, all the property that was confiscated from me has been returned to me. Soon we can move back to the original house. Everything Everything will be exactly the same as before, and you no longer have to suffer in such a small house." Xu Zehua opened the document bag and took out the key to the previous house and handed it to his wife.

"Is this... is this true?" Xu's mother looked at him in disbelief, her eyes filled with tears.

"Of course." Xu Zehua said with a smile.

No one has lived in that house since it was taken away by the state seven years ago. Although Xu Yue and her mother visited it several times, they were not allowed to go in. There was a dedicated person to look after it.

Every time her mother wants to visit the old house, Xu Yue knows that she misses her father. Now everything seems to be back again. The house, company and property include her father. I hope that life can really get better and better...
