Although the matter was somewhat complicated, Shen Huaichuan was someone who frequently gave reports, and his thinking was clear and organized. He explained each item clearly in chronological order.
After learning the truth, the elderly couple remained silent for a long time.
This is unbelievable; it's completely different from what Lin Yao's family said.
You should know that the version of the story that the Lin family gave them before was said to be entirely designed by Zhou Qiqi, portraying her as a completely vicious and wicked woman.
That's why their initial reaction was so strong, especially Qin Peilan, who, when talking to He Wanrou about this, even said that she must make Shen Huaichuan and Zhou Qiqi divorce.
The Shen family does not approve of this marriage!
After all, from their perspective, their son Shen Huaichuan was betrothed to Lin Yao since childhood, and before that, they always thought that it was only a matter of time before the two of them got married.
They had long considered Lin Yao as their daughter-in-law, so they had arranged everything for her, including her job.
They were just waiting for Lin Yao to finish her internship and marry Shen Huaichuan.
However, only half a year later, they suddenly received news that Shen Huaichuan had not married Lin Yao, but instead married a girl from the countryside whom they did not know or had never met.
Lin Yao, on the other hand, was personally sent to the police station by Shen Huaichuan.
These are undeniable facts, and no matter how Shen Huaichuan explains them, they will not change.
Their family and the Lin family used to be next-door neighbors. They had watched Lin Yao grow up since she was a child.
She was well-behaved and adorable when she was little, and the elderly couple loved her very much.
Although the Shen family later encountered a series of misfortunes and they moved to a military family compound, the two families saw each other less often.
But in their old impression, Lin Yao was just a little spoiled by her parents, especially her brother.
Girls are normal to be a little delicate, as long as they're not bad at heart.
But now, upon hearing that she could do such vicious things, Qin Peilan's first reaction was disbelief.
She grabbed her son's arm and asked incredulously:
"This...this really happened to Yao Yao? Huai Chuan, is the evidence...is the evidence conclusive? We can't wrongly accuse someone..."
Shen Huaichuan didn't say anything, but gently pushed the case description and a copy of the arrest warrant in front of his parents.
It's written in black and white on paper, and it even has the red seal of the Public Security Bureau printed on it, so no one can help but believe it.
Shen Zhenbang picked up the paper, his fingers turning white from gripping it so tightly that the veins on the back of his hand bulged out.
He read it word by word, his face growing increasingly grim, until finally he slammed the paper down on the table!
With a muffled thud, the force was controlled so as not to frighten the old man, but his suppressed anger erupted like a volcano:
"Outrageous! Absolutely lawless! Lin Dacheng! His fine daughter! Daring to falsely accuse an active-duty soldier, she's courting death!"
His voice choked with anger.
"And I treated him like a brother! And what does he have the nerve to call and complain after his daughter did something so utterly despicable? He even tries to shift the blame?! Fine! Very well!"
He recalled the pitiful, crying tone of Lin's father on the phone, and felt a wave of nausea rush to his head!
They're treating these two old folks like fools!
He felt disgusted, as if he had swallowed a fly, and his anger was rising rapidly.
Qin Peilan was both angry and scared, her fingers were ice-cold:
"Yao Yao... Lin Yao... how could she be so heartless! She's ruining Huai Chuan's future! Luckily, the false accusation didn't succeed, if... if the false accusation had succeeded..."
She dared not think any further; her son's military uniform, her son's future, were almost ruined by that woman!
Under such circumstances, how dare Mr. and Mrs. Lin call them for help!
This made the two of them angry, but then they felt a surge of heartache and guilt.
They traveled a long way to confront us and demand an explanation, almost wrongly accusing an innocent person.
Thinking of this, Qin Peilan's tears streamed down her face, and she waved to Shen Huaichuan:
"Huaichuan...my son! Come here...come to your mother..."
Shen Huaichuan sat down as instructed. Qin Peilan reached out and touched her son's cheeks and arms, as if to make sure he was alright. As she touched him, she said with a pained expression:
"You've suffered, your parents... your parents are getting senile! We almost wronged you..."
Shen Zhenbang didn't cry; his face remained serious. He simply sighed heavily, raised his large hand, and patted his son's strong shoulder twice.
A thousand words are conveyed in this silent action.
This has always been the way the father and son get along.
Shen Huaichuan felt the heavy weight on his shoulders, and his heart warmed.
He shook his head: "Dad, Mom, I'm fine. The biggest victim in this whole thing is Qiqi."
He paused, then explained on Zhou Qiqi's behalf:
“From the very beginning, in the hotel, it was a scheme set up by Xu Shu and Lin Yao. Qi Qi was drugged and unconscious, completely kept in the dark, and was pushed out to take the blame. By the time she woke up, everything was already set in stone. She was a country girl, without parents, and she might not even have enough money for a decent train ticket. What could she do? She was extremely unwilling, but given the circumstances, she had no choice but to leave her hometown and go to the army to find me.”
"Later, Lin Yao tracked down to the military base. Most of the open and covert attacks, the rumors and slanders, were aimed at her. My job is special, and I am often not at home. There are many things... I can't take care of. She suffered a lot of grievances."
