"Knock knock..."
"Knock knock..."
After knocking several times, someone finally opened the door. Du Ming subconsciously turned his face away, too ashamed to face anyone. However, the person who opened the door was Jiang Wanqing's mother, Xue He. She didn't recognize the people in front of her, only... Su Su hiding behind them.
She frowned, gripping the door, her brow furrowed in displeasure.
"Who are you? You've come to the wrong place. Let's go, let's go."
As she was about to close the door, she didn't listen to the explanations from the people outside. Just a second before the door closed, Mr. Du gave it a push and quickly explained.
"We're here to see Comrade Wanqing and Commander Cheng. Are they both home? We... have something very important to discuss..."
"What's so important? He's not here, hurry back."
"Hey...we are Du Heng's family. My son and Comrade Wanqing and her husband have some misunderstandings. We came here today specifically to clear things up. Please make sure we can see them!"
Du Heng? That name sounds familiar. Isn't he Su Su's husband?
Xue He frowned even more, becoming even more reluctant to let them in. Seeing that she wouldn't budge, Du's father pushed Du Ming forward.
"This is our second son, one of Commander Cheng's men. Please let us in, or we won't leave!"
They've already come all this way, and they won't leave until this matter is resolved.
"them……"
Xue He was about to say that Jiang Wanqing and Cheng Ran were not there, but at that moment, a voice came from inside.
"Mom, who's knocking?"
It was Jiang Wanqing's voice. She was inside with her child, and seeing that her mother hadn't made a sound for so long after going out to open the door, she raised her voice and asked.
Upon hearing that she was at home, Mr. Du immediately shouted.
"Comrade Wanqing! We are from Du Heng's family, and we need to talk to you!"
"Dad, don't embarrass yourself..."
Du Ming's face was filled with embarrassment and awkwardness. He wanted to pull the person away, but at this moment, his father took advantage of the moment when Xue He turned her head, pushed open the door and went straight in, continuing to shout.
"I know you're the one who put Du Heng back in the police station. There's been a misunderstanding. Comrade Wanqing, come out here, let's talk!"
Inside the room, Jiang Wanqing frowned upon hearing the noise outside, and Nannan tugged at her sleeve.
"Mommy, who are they? Are they bad people? Please don't go out, I'm scared..."
Jiang Wanqing patted the child's head and forced a smile: "It's okay, Mommy will just go out for a quick look. You stay here and be a good girl, don't come out. I'll be right back, okay?"
People have already barged into her home, so she can't stay put. She can't leave her mother to hold them off alone. Cheng Ran isn't here right now, and she doesn't want to make a big scene. As for the Du family... what difference does it make if she meets with them?
"Okay, then Mom, please make sure nothing happens to you."
"Yes, don't worry, nothing will happen."
After calming her daughter down, Jiang Wanqing went outside. When Xue He saw her come out, she quickly stepped forward to stop her.
"Why did you come out? These people don't look like good people. Go inside, Mom will deal with them."
Jiang Wanqing pressed her mother's hand: "Mom, go inside and keep Nannan company. I'll handle this. These people are indeed not good people, but we still have to deal with them, right?"
"this……"
Knowing her daughter was quite capable, Xue He could only enter the house cautiously, turning back every few steps. Out of concern, she even left a crack in the window to keep an eye on the outside.
Hearing Jiang Wanqing say that they were not good people, Du Ming felt extremely embarrassed. He was so awkward that he didn't know where to put his hands. He opened his mouth to greet her, but then felt that he was not qualified. In the end, he didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of guilt and shame when he looked at her.
He remained silent, but she didn't ignore him, saying directly, "You've once again aided and abetted evil."
"Sister-in-law Wanqing, I..."
"Alright, you don't need to say anything more. I'll give you two choices: either go away and don't say a word, or you and your family argue with me. I want to see how you can argue your way out of this!"
Jiang Wanqing's voice was strong and clear, making Du Ming even more guilty. Du's father glanced at him, still hoping that he would stand firmly on the side of his family, but he did not, and silently retreated to the wall.
She turned her gaze away from Du Ming, snorted, and then looked at Su Su behind the Du family members.
"You're still the same as before, a rat hiding in the gutter. Even if you change your skin, you're still the same—rotten, smelly, and disgusting!"
Mr. and Mrs. Du were stunned by Jiang Wanqing's sudden attack on Su Su. They hadn't heard anything about any deep-seated grudge between the two; it was just a business dispute, after all.
"What nonsense are you spouting! I don't understand a word you're saying!"
Su Su forced herself to remain calm, glared at Jiang Wanqing, and vehemently denied it.
"I haven't even said anything yet, and you're already denying something? Weren't you shamelessly sidling up to me, trying to pull your own agenda? Now that you've been exposed, why are you unhappy? Don't play dumb with me! Today isn't the time to settle accounts with you. One day, I'll make sure you can't cause any more trouble!"
"you……"
Before Su Su could answer, Jiang Wanqing glanced at Du Heng's parents, her face still showing disdain.
"You want to talk to me about Du Heng, right? I'll just give you one piece of advice: no way! If you do something wrong, you should take responsibility for your actions. You're all decades old, don't you understand this simple principle? He chose his own path. Nobody forced him at gunpoint. Once or twice might be a misunderstanding, but three or more times? Do you think you're fools or do you think I'm a fool?"
Jiang Wanqing's words were sharp and to the point, and Du's parents no longer had the chance to reason with her. They opened their mouths, but their faces turned red with frustration.
"You...you're admitting that you got Du Heng arrested? You vicious woman! As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. Do you dare say you bear no responsibility at all?"
"Look, they've already shown their true colors," Jiang Wanqing sneered, raising an eyebrow with a calm and indifferent tone.
"It was I who reported it, and it was I who submitted the evidence. I was doing this to rid the people of a scourge. As for your point about it taking two to tango..."
With a loud "smack," Su Su received a slap from Jiang Wanqing, the sound ringing out.
"Didn't you slap the glass? Like I said, you guys offered your faces up for me to slap, so if I didn't, wouldn't I be letting you down?"
Just as Su Su looked up in confusion, Jiang Wanqing clapped her hands as if she had just touched something dirty. Du's parents were also stunned by her action.
"You...how dare you..."
"What do I have to be afraid of? Du Heng going in is just the first step. If you continue to cause trouble, I don't know who will go in next. It seems like none of you Du family members are innocent." Jiang Wanqing glanced at Du Ming. "We finally found a promising young talent, but he's a coward. Humph, they say birds of a feather flock together!"
