He bowed slightly, neither servile nor overbearing, and continued, "This incident is extremely strange. We implore you to investigate it thoroughly and not be deceived by the false appearance before us. If we have truly violated the law and falsified the accounts, we will accept the punishment without hesitation and bear the corresponding consequences. However, if we have been maliciously framed, we hope you will seek justice for us. This not only concerns the reputation of our Wei family, but also the integrity of the business community in Youzhou City."

Wei Che raised his head, his eyes full of earnestness and expectation, as if he wanted to convey his sincerity to the officer in front of him through his gaze.

The officer waved his hands impatiently, a look of disdain on his face and arrogance in his eyes: "Stop talking nonsense to me. You say someone is framing you, but do you have any evidence? You expect me to believe you with nothing but empty words. It's not that easy!"

He raised his head slightly, chin up, sneered at what Su Huaiyue and Wei Che said, and crossed his arms across his chest, his gesture seeming to declare his complete disbelief in the Wei family's words.

Wei Che's eyes dimmed slightly, but soon regained their firmness.

He knew very well that he couldn't panic at this moment. The more he was at a time like this, the more he had to remain calm and rational.

"Sir, I understand your concerns. Without evidence, it's hard to be convincing. But there are many suspicious points here, and it's definitely not as simple as it seems." His tone remained calm, not angered by the officers' and soldiers' rudeness. "This account book appeared too suddenly, and we haven't noticed anything unusual before. Moreover, we operate in Youzhou City and have dealings with various parties, which inevitably affects the interests of some people. Therefore, we have reason to suspect that someone is deliberately doing this."

As Wei Che spoke, he carefully observed the expressions of the officers and soldiers, trying to find an opportunity to make them change their attitude.

Su Huaiyue watched Wei Che from the side, secretly admiring his calmness and composure.

At such a critical moment, Wei Che was still able to express his views clearly and deal with the officers and soldiers in a dignified manner.

She also knew that if she wanted the officers and soldiers to believe them, she had to provide more powerful evidence.

So, she thought quickly in her mind, recalling every detail before and after the banquet, hoping to find the key clues.

Su Huaiyue's eyes wandered around the warehouse and inadvertently looked outside the warehouse.

I saw Wei Ersao standing there in a panic, her eyes wandering, her hands nervously tugging at the corners of her clothes, and her whole body exuding an indescribable tension.

Su Huaiyue's heart suddenly shook, and her gaze fell back on the account book on the table.

At this moment, the handwriting on the account book seemed to have magic, attracting her attention.

The more she looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. The stroke direction and font style were exactly the same as Wei Ersao's usual writing habits.

Su Huaiyue had a bold inference in her mind. These accounts had always been recorded by Wei Ersao. Could it be that this incident was not a frame-up by others, but Wei Ersao's own fault?

She recalled the various behaviors of Wei Ersao before, the evasive look she gave every time she mentioned the accounting issues...

Everything seems to have a reasonable explanation.

Outside the warehouse at this time.

Wei Ersao's face was as pale as paper, her body was shaking violently, and her teeth were chattering uncontrollably.

At this moment, her mind was filled with the ferocious looks of the officers and soldiers, as well as the look Su Huaiyue had just given her.

Could it be that he was discovered?

Will Su Huaiyue betray me?

When Wei Ersao thought of the things she had done to Su Huaiyue during her exile, the chill in her heart grew heavier.

Her hands tightly grasped the corners of her clothes, as if this could help her grasp the last bit of security.

Wei Yunrou noticed something was wrong with Second Sister-in-law Wei and asked with concern, "Second Sister-in-law, why are you shaking so violently? Are you feeling unwell?"

Mrs. Wei forced a smile and stammered, "No...it's okay, I'm just...just a little scared. Things keep happening in the Wei family, and I'm really worried."

Wei Yunrou gently patted Second Sister-in-law Wei's shoulder and comforted her, "Second Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. Fifth Brother and First Sister-in-law will definitely be able to solve it. They are so smart, they will definitely find out the truth."

However, Wei Yunrou still felt that Wei Ersao's reaction was a little abnormal.

She carefully observed Wei Ersao's expression, and a trace of doubt rose in her heart: "Second sister-in-law, do you know something? Please don't hide it from us."

Mrs. Wei's eyes dodged, not daring to meet Wei Yunrou's gaze. She lowered her head and spoke even softer, "I really don't know. I'm just too worried."

Wei Yunrou looked at Wei Ersao, her doubts growing deeper and deeper, but she didn't dare to ask any further questions.

At this moment, Madam Wei hurried over with the support of her maid.

The evening breeze made her clothes rustle. She walked quickly, but she staggered a little due to her old age. She only managed to avoid falling because of the maid's strenuous support.

She was breathing heavily and rapidly, like a bellows. Her face was anxious, almost panic-stricken, and her eyes were full of worry about the incident in the Wei family.

As soon as she got close, she heard the conversation between Wei Yunrou and Wei Ersao. Her heart skipped a beat, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible big hand.

Her heart tightened, and her already pale face now lost even a trace of blood. The wrinkles on her forehead became even deeper due to anxiety.

She took a few steps forward and hit her crutch hard. The crutch hit the ground with a dull "bang", which seemed particularly abrupt in the silent atmosphere.

She stared at Wei Ersao with a glare, the anger in her eyes seemed to devour Wei Ersao: "Second brother, tell me the truth, what's going on?"

The voice, carrying the majesty of an elder and an order that could not be disobeyed, echoed in the air.

Mrs. Wei Er was already feeling guilty, and was frightened by the sudden questioning. She shuddered, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Her hands subconsciously clutched the corners of her clothes, her knuckles turned white from the force, and her whole body trembled like a leaf in the wind.

Her lips were almost bitten to the point of bleeding, and her eyes were full of fear and confusion.

Mrs. Wei Er opened her mouth again, but nothing came out, only a few indistinct sobs.

"I...I really don't know what you are talking about, old lady."

Mrs. Wei tried to act calm, but her voice couldn't stop shaking and her eyes wandered around, not daring to look Madam Wei in the eye.

"I have always been a well-behaved person. I was worried when something happened to the Wei family, but I really didn't know anything."

She was still being stubborn, but her tone was clearly flustered.

Madam Wei snorted coldly, the disappointment in her eyes growing thicker. "You still dare to be so stubborn? It's already this late, and you still want to hide it?"

As she spoke, she pressed the crutch hard again, and the tip of the crutch left a shallow mark on the ground.

"If you don't explain clearly today, don't even think about getting away with it!"
