However, Xu Weimin remained relatively calm and said directly, "This person is new, and none of us know him well. He definitely has problems, and we will definitely go back and investigate."

"Yes, yes, he's new here, we don't know each other yet!"

Since Xu Weimin has provided an excuse, they should naturally follow suit and distance themselves from it! As long as it doesn't involve them, anything goes.

The others restrained him and said to Xu Weiguo with a forced smile, "Deputy Director Xu, it's all a misunderstanding. It's probably this person who's behind this. We all believe you're innocent."

"We'll take him back for questioning first, then we'll be leaving now."

Although Xu Weimin was somewhat unwilling to give up, the others had already backed down, and he couldn't think of any good way to continue the search.

However, to everyone's surprise, Xu Weiguo actually courted death.

"Wait a minute, how you interrogate him when you get back is your business. But since you've already said that someone reported me and that you even have a search warrant."

"Then you should finish searching before you leave, otherwise I'm afraid you might frame me for something, which would be bad."

For a moment, the others were unsure whether to take action or not, so they turned their attention to Xu Weimin.

Xu Weimin felt that his older brother was really too confident. He probably didn't expect that he had already planted evidence in his house.

Since he's presented this opportunity to him, it wouldn't be good for him not to seize it.

"Since Deputy Director Xu is cooperating so well, we should of course follow the rules. Leave one person here with me to keep an eye on him."

"The rest of you can go in and search. I'm Deputy Director Xu's brother, so I won't go in to avoid suspicion."

Xu Weimin's smile this time was truly heartfelt. He had thought he had no chance today, but unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn for the better.

Xu Weiguo found his hypocritical words extremely grating. Avoid suspicion, indeed, what a fine phrase to use to avoid suspicion.

It's definitely advisable to avoid suspicion, otherwise it would be bad if he did something else.

After a while, the people who went in to search came out. They all said they found nothing.

Xu Weimin clenched his fist, thinking it was impossible, but he wasn't stupid enough to cause trouble on the spot.

However, just because he wasn't that stupid doesn't mean others wouldn't be.

Don't forget, Xu Jingui is here too.

"Impossible! How could there be no problem?! Did you even open the packaged items and check them?!"

Xu Jingui couldn't accept this outcome at all. He had clearly given the items to their family yesterday, and they were even neatly packaged in paper.

According to people's habits, these things are usually only opened and checked after a period of time, so it's impossible for them not to exist!

Xu Weimin didn't want to talk. He was truly afraid of not having a god-like opponent, but rather a teammate who was as good as a pig!

What's the difference between Xu Jingui saying this and telling others that they're strange?!

Xu Junhui felt it was really good that Xu Jingui came over, because if he hadn't self-destructed, they couldn't have let this matter get associated with them.

She asked in a cool tone, "Oh? From what you're saying, you seem quite certain that we have contraband in our house. Could it be that you personally delivered the contraband here?"

"H-How could that be? I was just guessing."

"Yes, I'm guessing. If you didn't have any problems, why would anyone report you?"

Xu Junhui looked at him as if he were an idiot and continued, "If that's the case, then if I report you now, aren't you also in a problem?"

Xu Jingui hadn't expected him to act so unpredictably, and was momentarily at a loss for words.

Xu Weimin stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Now that the search has been completed and no problems were found, it must have been a false report by the whistleblower. We will go back and investigate."

"Let's go!" He forcefully pulled Xu Jingui and walked out.

The remaining people, seeing that the leaders had left, also forced their way out and left with them.

Seeing that everyone had left, Huang Qinqin quickly closed the door, and a huge weight was finally lifted from her heart.

Even though she seemed perfectly fine and didn't say a word, she was actually sweating profusely.

She was terrified that something would eventually be discovered. Now that she had safely passed this hurdle, it proved that while the things in the notebook might be true, they could also be changed.

Zhang Yumei felt the same way; she finally felt alive again and said to Xu Weiguo, "Go to work quickly, there's still time."

"but..."

"Dad, you go to work. I'll take care of things at home. We can talk about other things when you get back tonight."

Xu Junhui knew that he was probably worried about his family, afraid that they would be scared, and also afraid that his third uncle's family would come and cause trouble again.

However, he applied for three days of leave from the factory for his wedding, so he could stay at home.

"Okay, then keep an eye on your mom and Qinqin. I'm going to work now. If there's anything you can't handle, just come to my office."

......

"Thank you for your trouble today. You can go back now and leave him to me."

When they were almost back at the Revolutionary Committee, Xu Weimin kept the person who had been detained behind and told the others to go back first.

The others had ferocious expressions; no one left, and no one refused.

Xu Weimin pulled out a few ten-yuan bills, handed one to everyone present, and then said with a smile, "Little Liu committed suicide out of fear of punishment while being escorted back to the Revolutionary Committee. Since we had no leads, we had no choice but to throw him into the river."

"Ah, yes, yes, he was scared, so he committed suicide."

"Yes, we saw it all. Hehe, Deputy Director Xu, we'll head back now."

After everyone else left, only the father, son, and Xiao Liu remained at the scene.

Frightened, Xiao Liu clung to Xu Weimin's leg and pleaded, "Director Xu! You're the one who asked me to bring this book! You can't let anything happen to me!"

"Xiao Liu, don't worry, I will take good care of your family. Trust your parents, you don't want them to be sent to a labor camp with you and become one of the 'Five Black Categories,' do you?"

Xiao Liu said excitedly, "Director Xu! Please let me go! I promise I won't tell anyone about you! I'll take all the blame! I'm willing to go to a labor camp!"

Xu Weimin didn't believe him and wasn't willing to take the risk. Although Xiao Liu was indeed very likely to take the blame himself.

But in this world, only the dead can keep a secret 100%. He can only blame his bad luck, or perhaps Xu Weiguo was too perceptive.

Xu Weimin gestured for Xu Jingui to come over and help him hold Xiao Liu down. Xu Jingui was somewhat frightened and asked uncertainly, "Dad, can't we really spare his life?"

"What are you afraid of? Have you forgotten what you did when you were fifteen? You weren't afraid then, so why are you afraid now!"

When Xu Jingui heard him mention what happened back then, although he was still somewhat reluctant, he still stepped forward to help him hold down Xiao Liu...
