Good heavens, what does this mean? What are these "sisters" and "brothers"? What's going on?

The events at the Shi family's place were already intriguing enough, but the commotion at the Du family's place is even more exciting.

Du's mother couldn't bear the shock and fainted. It was her eldest grandson.

She'd raised him for so long only to have him snatched away, and now it seems he wasn't even hers. She doesn't know what to do.

The Ministry of Public Security personnel arrived quickly; prior notice had been given. Several women from the Shi family were taken away.

“We have found that Shi’s youngest son and Comrade Zhang Manli are suspected of murder. The two conspired to kill Zhang Manli’s sister, Zhang Manya, and her newborn son.”

"And the Du family, who promote feudal superstition, buy and sell household registrations, are also guilty of hooliganism, and failed to report such crimes. We've taken them away; everyone, please disperse."

The comrades from the Ministry of Public Security gave everyone an explanation based on what they had said above, in order to avoid causing panic.

Moreover, this is a fact, and the Du and Shi families should be convicted based on this charge.

We can't let the people behind this find out yet, so they can follow the clues and find out what's going on.

“This has nothing to do with us. My mother did it. You can arrest her.” Du Wenshan and Du Laowu exchanged a glance.

Their family had already discussed it; if this matter were exposed, they would prioritize their own safety.

"Hmph, no matter who did it, others may not know that Zhang Manli is suspicious, but don't you know your own wife? If you acknowledge Zhang Manli, you are tantamount to being her accomplices."

"And when you and Zhang Manli were caught having an affair, your wife's family knew about it. They can testify to that. You were just being indecent."

"Not to mention promoting superstition, if you two are truly innocent, why didn't you report it?" The police officers didn't give them a chance to argue.

Besides, Du's mother was still unconscious. Even if they wanted to shift the blame to her, no one would take responsibility. The police simply took her away.

The Shi family's daughters-in-law shouted that they were innocent and even brought up their own families.

What they didn't know was that their families had also been taken away for investigation. It would be a lie to say they didn't notice anything amiss.

After everyone was taken away, the residents of this alleyway finally came to their senses.

"Did you hear what those police officers just said? So that wasn't Du Wenshan's wife? That was his wife's sister."

"That younger sister had an affair with the youngest son of the Shi family. Back then, the Du family sent their daughter-in-law back to her parents' home to have her pregnancy, but she was killed by the younger sister."

"The younger sister took her son back to the Du family and coaxed the whole family. This is making Du Wenshan a living turtle."

"The Shi family must have known about this. They only started to flee when things were exposed, and they didn't forget to take their grandson with them when they left."

“They abandoned their daughter-in-law and granddaughter; they are utterly heartless. And the Du family, I’ve heard something about their feudal superstitions.”

"They say that in order to protect his son who had barely survived, Du Laowu used a wicked method and found a woman with a similar fate to borrow his luck."

"Afterwards, the family went through a lot of trouble to marry her, because the girl's family was particularly difficult to deal with."

"And that sister-in-law was supposedly fired for stealing things while working as a nanny at the Shi family, but it seems that's not the case. Did she climb into their bed?"

"I never thought that the Du family, who are usually so clever, would make such a foolish mistake. They actually got outsmarted and ended up raising someone else's child for so long."

"That Du Laowu's wife is always showing off her child, saying that her eldest grandson is strong and looks like Wenshan. She has done too many bad things and is now getting her comeuppance."

Now everyone is chattering and discussing what they don't understand.

Even those hiding in the shadows believed it, and suddenly they lost their way.

The operation in Beijing was already very difficult to complete. This is where the leading figures of China reside, and the standards are the strictest in every aspect.

It was already a miracle that they had a place to settle down; they never expected that the Shi family would be caught just for playing around with a woman.

Something went wrong at the contact point, and the lower-level people didn't know how to contact their superiors. They were all in a panic, like headless flies.

The Ministry of Public Security arrested several people and quickly handed them over to their superiors, while the Shi family members were secretly taken away.

Marshal Li received the news immediately, and Shi Zhenxing and his men quickly confessed under interrogation.

The older Mr. Shi was better able to handle the situation, as his sons had all grown up in China.

They were unfamiliar with the empire their father spoke of; their loyalty to the country was less about being loyal and more about obeying their father.

Mr. Shi had received professional training, and the younger ones hadn't, and they confessed without even being subjected to any covert methods.

The old marshal read through the confessions and realized that they had other plans. They targeted the two children because of their identities, and then they were overly cautious.

Fortunately, Su was smart and noticed something was wrong early on, returning to the compound. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened.

"The matter has been investigated and clarified. You can return to work as usual tomorrow. Don't worry, the matter will be resolved soon."

Marshal Li knew what the two children were worried about. Apart from the confidential matters that couldn't be discussed, he told them about the arrests of the Shi and Du families.

The people behind the scenes were also tracked down and most of them were arrested; the rest were the key figures.

Those people won't be used against the two children; their purpose is much bigger. Fortunately, the higher-ups are preparing to act ahead of time.

"Grandpa, it's not targeting us?" Su Ti frowned deeply after hearing what her grandfather said. Had they suffered another undeserved calamity?

"No, it's because Baichuan's surname is Li, and it's also because of me that they panicked and made a mess of things." Marshal Li paused here.

Li Baichuan and Su Ti understood that those people might be trying to take action against them to keep their grandfather in check.

Or perhaps they thought they knew something, knew the Li family's status, and were afraid they would report the information, so they took the initiative to attack them.

Their exposure is due to good luck, but more so to Suti's wit.

"Grandpa, we've enjoyed the blessings of the Li family, but we're also going to suffer their dangers. Besides, we're all family, and those people aren't just targeting the Li family, are they?"

Su Ti could tell that her grandfather was not feeling well. Whether it was the Li family or the Guo family, they had all come from a sea of ​​blood to reach their current status.

They are much happier now, having never experienced those heart-wrenching battles or the excruciating pain of having to choose between loyalty to one's country and filial piety.

They are now enjoying the blessings of their elders, and their path is much smoother. How can they despise the insignificant danger that their elders brought them?

For Suti, nothing is more important than life, and his family is all right.
