Chapter 17 The Scumbag Father Got Himself into Trouble

Hu Zhiwei tried his best to hide his presence in order to escape this predicament, but he did not expect that Captain Chen's gaze would fall on him.

Seeing that things were not going well, he immediately grabbed Cen Yan's hand and threatened, "You should stop now. Don't make a big deal out of this. Even if you donate the money, will you be able to escape your fate of being sent to the countryside? Even if you can, who in Shanghai will dare to marry you in the future?"

Cen Yan flung his hand away. "It's none of your business, Hu Zhiwei, marrying anyone. You even laid a hand on your own aunt! You're not human, you're worse than an animal! Animals know more about manners and shame than you! I, Cen Yan, would rather marry a chicken or a dog than a rotten person like you!"

"Cen Yan!"

"Shut up! How dare you call your father's name like that!" Cen Yan was furious and raised her hand to slap Hu Zhiwei hard.

Then, raising his voice and speaking in a forceful tone, he said, "Captain Chen! Our Cen family has been robbed, and so many things are missing. What are you hesitating about? Do you know who the thief is and are deliberately covering for him?"

"Nonsense! I'm the captain of the law enforcement team, a government official. How could I possibly collude with thieves?" Captain Chen retorted instinctively, breaking out in a cold sweat. Cen Yan's intuition was quite accurate; how did she know he had reached a cooperation agreement with Shan Jianshe?

Cen Yan persisted: "Then please, Captain Chen, bring Hu Zhiwei, who is the most suspicious right now, and Hu Lier, who is colluding with us, back to the enforcement team for rigorous interrogation! We must find out where our Cen family's assets have gone!"

"Of course, Hu Li'er just suspected that I embezzled, so to be fair, I will go back to the enforcement team with Captain Chen to accept the investigation. Anyway, I have a clear conscience, and I ask the three leaders and all the neighbors to supervise me!"

"Alright! Don't worry, Yan'er, I'm the first to believe you. The Cen family belongs to you, you don't need to steal!" Aunt Wu stepped forward and shouted.

The three anxious leaders were more panicked than anyone else when they realized that the donation Cen Yan had given them had disappeared.

"Don't worry, girl. As long as the three of us old guys are here, no one can slander you for something we didn't do!"

"It is my great honor to have your trust. Don't worry, once the property is recovered, my father and I will definitely thank you all properly. Dad, you agree, right?" Cen Yan grabbed Shan Jianshe's arm, stabbing him in the heart without hesitation.

Dan Jianshe's facial muscles twitched, but in front of so many people, he couldn't express any dissatisfaction or lack of support for Cen Yan, otherwise he would only bring trouble upon himself.

He nodded with a forced smile, almost through gritted teeth: "Yes, Yan Yan is right, we must get our Cen family's things back. Hu Li'er, when you get to the enforcement team, you'd better think carefully before you speak!"

Hu Li'er shook her head desperately, but was too anxious to speak.

She didn't know why her house had been emptied. One major event after another came in quick succession, leaving her head in a complete mess. But she was certain that today's events were inextricably linked to Cen Yan!

Hu Zhiwei was captured by Captain Chen, looking as helpless as a little chick.

"Let go! Let go of me! I didn't steal anything from the Cen family, Auntie, please explain for me!"

Hu Lier is barely able to protect herself, so how could she possibly have the strength to protect Hu Zhiwei?

She was tied up by Aunt Wu and a group of enthusiastic people, and a piece of clothing was casually draped over her body. The group then went to the law enforcement team for investigation, with Cen Yan following closely behind.
