The first to be taken away were Cai's father and daughter, followed by Chang Guofu.
The investigation was swift, and Principal Cai was found guilty of a multitude of crimes, with ample witness testimony and physical evidence, including abuse of power, embezzlement, and bribery. All of this was more than enough to put Principal Cai in a very difficult position.
Principal Cai, a wise man who knows when to yield, realized that he had never seen such a situation before and immediately surrendered.
He took all the blame, confessing and accepting leniency, and resisting would be punished severely. His sincere attitude almost earned him a chance to reform, but in the end, he was dragged down into the mire by his daughter, Cai Baozhu, who had betrayed him.
When Cai Baozhu was first imprisoned, she was completely oblivious to the situation. She shouted that an uncle who was a family friend would soon come to pick her up, and that everyone involved in the matter must be severely punished.
Meanwhile, one of her family friends, an uncle, was standing on the very edge, sweating profusely, wishing he could rush into the interrogation room and tear her mouth apart!
Seeing that this tactic was ineffective, Cai Baozhu flew into a hysterical rage and used the excuse of taking his place in college years ago to intimidate him.
Then, Principal Cai, who had breathed a long sigh of relief after confessing, almost fainted upon hearing this news.
You beast!

Chang Hongbing asked for leave from the factory and rushed to the hospital. However, he not only failed to find his seriously injured third brother who was being treated for emergency care, but also could not find his family members who should have been anxiously waiting at the hospital.
Chang Hongbing gritted his teeth and hurried home.
When they arrived home, Zhou Hongyu was roasting sweet potatoes by the stove, while Granny Chang excitedly recounted the magical deeds of Chang Xiaogu.
Old Man Chang lay in bed, groaning and moaning in pain.
"Mom! Second sister-in-law! Why isn't Guofu at the hospital?!"
Before the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could react, Old Man Chang suddenly rushed out of the room.
Zhou Hongyu: !!!
Amazing doctor! He cured all my illnesses!
Old Man Chang pressed on frantically, "Hongbing, what happened to your brother! Is he not doing well? He's been rushed in for emergency treatment! Old woman, get the money..."
Granny Chang said helplessly, "Old man, where do we have any money left? Guo Fu took the last bit of money; he said he wanted to use it to renovate the courtyard in Houhai..."
"Where are we going to get the money, my son!" Old Chang lamented, heartbroken.
Just then, Chen Zhaodi walked into the house. She heard that Chang Guofu had been beaten and hospitalized. She lingered in the shop for a long time before slowly returning home. Her mother-in-law's words angered her.
"Dad! How can you two hand over your life savings to your third brother all at once! Aren't we, the eldest and second wives, still your own children?!"
Chen Zhaodi chased after Old Man Chang to argue, while Old Man Chang awkwardly hid behind Granny Chang, and the whole courtyard was in chaos.
Zhou Hongyu ate a sweet potato in small bites, far from the battlefield.
Chang Hongbing had a splitting headache, but he still had the mind to argue about other things. His younger brother, who was seriously injured and hospitalized, had disappeared!
"Dad! Dad! Zhaodi, stop making a scene..."
Chang Hongbing shouted until his throat was dry, but he couldn't stop at all. He turned his head and saw Zhou Hongyu eating sweet potatoes and smiling happily.
...
Chang Hongbing couldn't help but advise, "Xingwang's wife, you should at least pay a little attention..."
They made his seriously injured and hospitalized younger brother seem like he wasn't their biological son!
If my second brother had stayed in Beijing to work, at least I would have someone to discuss things with.
After Zhou Hongyu finished the last bite of the sweet and soft sweet potato, she wiped her hands clean and told him, "Chang Guofu was doing very well before we came back from the hospital. He even reunited with his biological father in the hospital!"
"Then why... Guo Fu's biological father!" Chang Hongbing was struck dumb.
His younger brother, Guofu, is not his biological son!
"Who! Whose biological father!" Chen Zhaodi immediately abandoned Old Man Chang and rushed over.
Ignoring his current disheveled state, Old Man Chang hurriedly called out, "Xingwang's wife, don't say things like that!"
Even if father and son recognize each other, the son he raised is by no means heartless and ungrateful; he will always remember his kindness in raising him.
Even though she has a biological father, he still holds a place in her heart as her adoptive father.
If Zhou Hongyu exposes this, how will Guofu face his family in the future?
No one could stop Zhou Hongyu from saying what she wanted to say!
"Chang Guofu is your aunt's illegitimate son, born out of wedlock. He was abandoned by his biological father and raised by your parents as their own son! Now he has found his biological father and they have reunited!"
Zhou Hongyu revealed Chang Guofu's true identity to the public in just a few simple words, and the old man's face turned ashen.
Chang Hongbing couldn't believe it; his younger brother was actually his aunt's child!
"Dad!" Chen Zhaodi threw a tantrum, rolling on the ground, "Since the third son isn't our biological son, then make him return the money right now! Why should he get a share of our family's money!"
"What money are you talking about?" The Chang Lanhua sisters returned to their parents' home at this unusually inconvenient time.
Upon hearing the word "money," Chang Lanhua rushed over, grabbed Old Man Chang's other arm, and pulled hard, as if afraid of missing out on any advantage.
"Dad, what happened to the money from selling the yard? Has it all been distributed? I heard that all the brothers in the family sold their houses! Why didn't they tell us sisters?"
Chang Meihua walked up to Granny Chang and started silently shedding tears after her elder sister finished speaking.
Granny Chang comforted her, "Orchids and plum blossoms, money can be earned again later, don't get too upset!"
Zhou Hongyu: "..."
Chen Zhaodi: "..."
My mother-in-law, who used to be so overly compassionate, has changed; she's become so cold and ruthless!
Chang Meihua couldn't hold back her tears any longer and burst into sobs: "Mom, where's my and my sister's money? Who took it...?"
Amidst Old Man Chang's terrified gaze, Zhou Hongyu smiled and told the Chang Lanhua sisters about Chang Guofu's background.
"dad!"
"dad!!!"
The shouts grew louder and louder, almost tearing the roof off.
"I can't live anymore! When the older generation was still alive, my sister-in-law and I were forced to serve her like servants! Now that our own parents are in charge, we're still being bullied by her children! What happened to the money that should have been ours?! Is there any justice in this world?!"
Chang Lanhua shook off Old Man Chang's arm, plopped down on the ground, and threw a real tantrum, crying and howling. Chen Zhaodi, who had been bluffing just moments before, was immediately overshadowed.
Chen Zhaodi quietly moved closer to Zhou Hongyu and revealed the truth: "I think it will take these two aunts to make the third branch of the family suffer a lot!"
Zhou Hongyu nodded silently. Dealing with someone as blind as Old Man Chang should be handled by the Chang Lanhua sisters, who are more decisive and capable.
Chang Hongbing remembered something, which was the reason he went home!
"But why didn't I see Guofu at the hospital? Could it be that he has already been discharged and gone home with his biological father?"
Zhou Hongyu and Chen Zhaodi shook their heads in unison.
"Who could know! He has legs on his body! He definitely won't die!"
At this moment, Sun Yanxia, ​​disheveled and alone in her cell, finally saw her husband whom she had been longing for.
She was taken aback and, clinging to the iron bars, shouted at Chang Guofu, who was being escorted past, "Guofu, what are you doing here!"
