Lín Wēi only realized when she died that having a sister-favoring mother would cause so much damage to her family.
Her father fell from a great height and died. Her younger brother went mis...
“That’s right.” Shen Jize finally looked at them properly. “Then where’s your daughter? Why isn’t she here?”
Ni Fang quickly resorted to the prepared script to deceive them, saying, "Something happened in my family. My daughter is looking after her uncle for me. We had no choice but to bring this token to you."
“My daughter told me that the owner of this copper coin can solve all our problems. Mr. Shen, please save my brother.”
Worried that Shen Jize wouldn't believe him, Xiao Yuanbing quickly added, "Mr. Shen, if it weren't for the fact that we really couldn't solve this problem, we wouldn't want to bother you with such a small matter. We really have no other choice."
As they talked, they got so excited that they both knelt down in front of Shen Jize.
Shen Jize quickly moved aside, "Get up quickly. This is a new society. What would people think if they saw this? Miss Lin saved my life. Since it's a small matter, I naturally have to help."
"But before we help, shouldn't we settle our accounts properly?"
"uncle."
'Bang'
Upon hearing the word "uncle," Xiao Yuanbing's legs, which hadn't even stood up yet, gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.
He looked at Shen Jize in shock, "You..., you..."
"Are you wondering why I know about this?" Shen Jize raised an eyebrow, his tone somewhat contemptuous. "Do you think I'm stupid, or do you think the entire Shen family are stupid?"
“I knew Lin Wei’s identity from the very beginning. In fact, I have been sending people to follow her ever since. I know everything she has done and everything you have done.”
“I didn’t intend to do anything to you. The little girl wanted to solve the problem herself, so I let her do it herself. But you… you insisted on using my name and impersonating my uncle to try and swindle money from Lin Wei.”
"You don't think you've covered your tracks perfectly, do you? Since you've done it, shouldn't you bear the corresponding consequences?"
Looking into Shen Jize's icy gaze, Xiao Yuanbing felt frozen in place, unable to move.
After realizing what had happened, he hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, I didn't mean to, we didn't mean to, please let us go."
"Let them go?" Shen Jize questioned, "Did you let Lin Wei go? Did you also let...the Wang family couple go?"
"Although they are no good either, I have never seen anyone as ruthless as you."
"Actually, you guys are quite to my liking, but the person you're targeting is Lin Wei..."
Shen Jize's voice grew colder and colder.
Xiao Yuanbing cowered and shook his head, backing away, but his weak legs couldn't support him as he stood up from the ground.
“Mr. Shen, we know we were wrong. We shouldn’t have impersonated your elders and bullied Lin Wei. We will never do it again. We will save you just this once, just this once…”
"It's too late, you have nowhere to escape."
'Ding-dong'
The doorbell rang.
After a while, two police officers came in.
"Mr. Shen, are you reporting a crime?"
"Yes, the two people on the ground are the murderers of the two corpses on Gongcheng Road. They came to me and used my life-saving grace as leverage to blackmail me into helping them deal with the aftermath. I am a law-abiding citizen, how could I do such a thing? So I called the police directly."
The police officer's face grew paler with each word. "You guys are really something. Do you even know who you're dealing with? You dare to come here and threaten people? You really have a death wish."

When Wu Hongye rushed to the entrance of the stock market, Lin Wei was busy finishing up the boxed lunches.
In her haste, she almost dropped the rice spoon in her hand when she heard Wu Hongye's words.
"What did you say? Speak slowly once you've caught your breath."
Wu Hongye composed himself before saying, "The Wang couple are dead. The police came and cordoned off their house because we had a dispute with them before. The elders of the Wang and Zhou families insisted that the three of us killed them and kept making a scene at the door."
"Because the problem is very serious, Aunt Zhang, Aunt Meng, and my mother have all returned from work, and several families are arguing there."
"Then let's argue back. If we really killed that person, the police would have arrested us long ago. Since it has nothing to do with us, we can't let this go unpunished. Let's argue back," Lin Wei said nonchalantly.
"They started arguing, and Aunt Zhang was still the main force. Halfway through the argument, the police came with new information: they had found the murderer and taken him to the police station."
As he spoke, Wu Hongye tugged at Lin Wei's sleeve and whispered in her ear, "They are the two people who came to see you before. Aunt Meng said they are your mother and the construction site boss. They are the ones who killed the two people from the Wang family. Because of this relationship, she asked me to come and tell you to not get too emotional."
On the surface, the idea was to make it easier for Lin Wei to accept the situation and to prevent her from getting too emotional.
In reality, it was all about the copper coins; they were tipping each other off.
After all, the time she set up Wang Changzhi was only two or three days ago.
Even more so, Wang Changzhi's death was related to copper coins.
Lin Xiaomeng was intentionally reminding Lin Wei to find a way to avoid getting herself into trouble.
But Lin Wei herself couldn't hide her excitement.
Because her opportunity had finally arrived.
An opportunity to clear her father's name and condemn the two of them to eternal damnation has finally arrived.
Where are they now? Are they still at home?
Wu Hongye shook his head, "She's gone. I came from the police station, Sister Weiwei..."
"I need to go to the police station, I'm going now."
Ignoring the tricycle in front of her, Lin Wei turned and ran towards the police station.
The children were anxious when they saw that she was not in a good condition.
"What should we do? The car... are we just going to abandon it?"
Lin Yuan quickly said, "No, sister, I'll go too."
Seeing that Lin Yuan had also run away, the two Su children and Wu Hongye followed him.
-
Ten minutes later, the five children arrived at the police station lobby together.
The hall was packed with people.
Police officers were taking statements from the crowd in groups, among whom the Wang and Zhou families were crying so hard they were almost fainting.
Seeing Lin Wei rush in, everyone was puzzled and just glanced at her before continuing with their work.
Only Lin Xiaomeng called Lin Wei over, "Weiwei, you're here?"
"Weiwei, don't get excited. Auntie has something to tell you. Uncle Wang and his wife, who live across the street from us, have passed away. The murderer... the murderer is your mother and that Uncle Xiao."
Upon hearing Lin Xiaomeng say that she was Ni Fang's daughter, the Wang and Zhou families rushed over to beat her.
Ignoring these people, Lin Wei hurriedly asked, "Auntie, have my mother and Xiao Yuanbing been arrested?"
"Yes, they've been arrested, and the evidence is sufficient. There's no chance they'll get out. Weiwei, you..."
Just as Lin Xiaomeng was about to offer some words of comfort, Lin Wei shouted excitedly, "Police officer, I want to report a case!"
The police officer frowned. "What case do you want to report? Your mother and that Xiao guy committed murder. The evidence is conclusive, there's no way..."
"They killed my dad! They killed my dad! Police officers, I want to report this crime."
