The messenger looked at Wu Yong with disdain, not wanting to say another word to the Wu family. He spat and turned away.

Old Mrs. Wu slowly came back to her senses, muttering to herself, "How could this happen? Is this damn girl really dead? How could this happen?"

After all, she was his own daughter. When he heard the news of her death, besides being shocked and incredulous, he would naturally feel sad and upset.

Among the Wu family, the one who suffered the most was Fu Damei.

She knew the Wu family's situation well. For so many years, they had relied entirely on Wu Qin's filial piety to live a comfortable life. Recently, Wu Qin's filial piety had decreased, and the two elders' attitude towards Wu Qin had become increasingly worse. Their purpose was to put pressure on Wu Qin to pay more filial piety in return.

But now, Wu Qin is dead, and the filial respect has completely stopped. How will the Wu family live in the future?

Wu Yong was a lazy gambler who couldn't even support himself, let alone pay his family. She had a job, but the salary wasn't high. Besides her own expenses, she had to go to her parents' house to beg for gifts from time to time, and she also had two sons and two grandsons to support, so it was never enough.

If she had known that things would turn out like this, she would have advised Wu Yong not to do things so drastically.

Old Man Wu was also somewhat saddened when he heard the news of his daughter's death, but he thought more long-term than others. He sighed and said, "I was originally planning to find an opportunity to talk to Qi Guoqiang about transferring Wenlin and Wulin to the Forestry Bureau, but now it seems that's going to fall through."

Wu Yong raised his chin and said, "What do you mean by yellow? My sister died at the hands of Qi Guoqiang. He must give me an explanation. Two job positions are nothing. He also has to pay me a thousand yuan."

Wu Yong was brazenly imagining how to blackmail Qi Guoqiang when four police officers suddenly appeared and walked right up to him. "Are you Wu Yong? Someone's accusing you of murder. Come with us."

Old Man Wu and Old Lady Wu's expressions changed, and they quickly used their bodies to block the police. "Comrade Public Security, is there some misunderstanding here? Wu Qin's death has nothing to do with us. She had heart disease since she was a child. She died of it herself, so you can't blame others for it."

The police officer's face was icy. "Who said this was Wu Qin's case? The person who reported the case today was Du Zheng. He said his father was hit on the head with a brick by Wu Yong, causing serious injuries. He was in the hospital for two days, but has now died."

"What?" Wu Yong was dumbfounded. "Impossible! I didn't use any force at all, I just gave him a light tap. How could he have died? Did Du Zheng file a false report to extort money? Have you investigated?"

The police stared at Wu Yong, looking at him as if he were a fool. "Since we've come to arrest you, we've naturally investigated thoroughly. The evidence is irrefutable, and there are numerous eyewitnesses. Everyone points to you as the one who hit Du Ping on the head with a brick during a disagreement. He died instantly. It was only because Du's two sons rushed him to the hospital in time that he survived for two more days."

Wu Yong still wanted to argue, but the police didn't want to listen anymore.

Old Mrs. Wu grabbed the sleeve of a police officer and said with trembling lips, "Let's settle it privately. We agreed to do it privately before. We've raised enough money."

The Wu family members quickly nodded in agreement.

The police are too lazy to pay attention to this legally illiterate family.

In the past, as long as the person was alive, even if he was seriously injured, the police would naturally not interfere if the family did not pursue the matter.

Now that the person is dead and the family has reported the case, you still want to settle it privately?

Wu Yong was formally arrested and faced a prison sentence of at least twenty years, or even the death penalty.

The Wu family wanted to get Qi Guoqiang. Among the people they knew, Qi Guoqiang was the most capable. Even if he was not the head of the group anymore, he was still a deputy director at least. He also had his previous connections. Maybe this matter could be solved through the back door, and a big thing could be turned into a small thing, or a small thing could be turned into nothing.
