"All of you, come with us."
"Thank you for your cooperation."
Uncle Hat waved his hand, causing Zhao Kun's heart to sink instantly.
It’s over!
As expected, things are developing in the worst possible direction!
His lies will be immediately exposed once the marks left on his clothes and shoes are compared with those on his clothes and shoes.
When Grandma Zhao saw that not only had her family members not been cleared of suspicion, but they were also going to the police station, she immediately objected. She shouted that Uncle Hat could take all the clothes and shoes they had picked up, and that her family didn't want them anymore because no one in her family had broken the law.
But Uncle Hat wouldn't change his mind just because Old Mrs. Zhao threw a tantrum.
"Based on your reminder, we have reason to suspect that the case of vandalizing someone else's grave is related to your family. Please cooperate, Auntie."
"If you refuse to cooperate, we can only apologize and forcibly take you back."
When Uncle Hat finished speaking, Grandma Zhao immediately fell silent.
Zhou Ling looked at Zhao Kun with unease; she was panicking too.
She guessed that the clothes that Old Mrs. Zhao had picked up might be the evidence that Zhao Kun had destroyed.
Zhao Kun wished he could slap himself at that moment.
He regretted his earlier outburst. If he hadn't been so confident as to ask Uncle Hat to check the yard, the check might have already been completed, and he might never have discovered the clothes and shoes.
But now, it's too late to say anything.
Two hours later at the police station.
Uncle Hat questioned the group again, explaining that confessing now would minimize the severity of punishment. He added that once the comparison results were available and there was solid evidence, it would be too late to plead guilty.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kun hesitated for a long time before finally having to confess everything and admit that it was his doing.
Because he knew he couldn't avoid it.
At the entrance of the police station,
Old Mrs. Zhao launched into another tirade against Zhou Ling.
She believed that Zhao Kun did such a foolish thing because of Zhou Ling, and that the root of the problem was Zhou Ling.
Zhou Ling did not refute. In her heart, she felt moved and ashamed that Zhao Kun had taken the blame for this matter alone and had not implicated her. To a certain extent, it was indeed Zhao Kun who had caused the trouble, so she had no face to retort to Old Mrs. Zhao.
"You know about this, don't you?"
Zhou Na's cool voice rang out.
Zhou Ling bit her lip, speechless.
"Third sister, you feel like a stranger to me. How could you think of doing such a thing? At the very least, they were the ones who raised us, and they've already passed away. How could you..."
Zhou Na wanted nothing more than to slap Zhou Ling; her disappointment in Zhou Ling had reached its peak.
Previously, she actually believed Zhou Ling's nonsense, thinking it was just a coincidence.
Looking back now, it's ridiculous.
"If I had known you were after this, I would never have told you the location of Mom and Dad's graves. Zhou Ling, you've made me too ashamed to visit their graves again. Do you understand?"
Zhou Na felt that Zhou Ling had gone mad and would stop at nothing to get revenge on Zhou Chen.
“It’s all my fault, Second Sister. I know I was wrong. I was just jealous of Zhou Chen’s good luck and thought of ruining the feng shui to make my life better and his life worse. I was confused for a moment. I don’t ask for your forgiveness, but you must help me find a way. Brother Kun did this because of me. I can’t just watch him go to jail.”
"Please, second sister, you must help me. You can hit me or scold me, it doesn't matter, as long as you can keep Brother Kun from going to jail, I'll do anything."
The thought that Zhao Kun might go to jail for her sake made Zhou Ling feel extremely distressed, and she could only place her hopes on her wise second sister, Zhou Na.
"Xiaoling's second sister, Xiaokun is your brother-in-law. If you really have a way, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life. Please, please save my son."
Grandma Zhao also placed her hopes on Zhou Na, pleading pitifully.
"There are ways to avoid legal judgment."
Suppressing her complex emotions, Zhou Na spoke in a deep voice, ultimately deciding to offer the two a way out.
She didn't feel sorry for Zhou Ling and Old Mrs. Zhao, but rather for Zhou Ling's daughter, who had recently given birth to a lovely little girl who would smile and reach out her little hand whenever she saw her.
No matter what, she is the little guy's aunt.
Upon learning that Zhou Na truly had a method, Zhou Ling and Old Mrs. Zhao, as if grasping at a lifeline, almost simultaneously grabbed Zhou Na's clothes, their faces filled with eager anticipation.
"Second sister Xiaoling, what can we do to keep my son Xiaokun from going to jail? Please tell us quickly."
"Second sister..."
Zhou Na didn't keep anyone in suspense and revealed the only effective way to resolve the matter.
What!
But when Zhou Ling and Old Mrs. Zhao heard this, they were both stunned.
"Isn't there any other way besides begging him?"
Zhou Ling really didn't want to apologize to Zhou Chen, and begged Zhou Chen to let Zhao Kun off the hook.
After all, the person she hated most was Zhou Chen. If it weren't for Zhou Chen, none of this would have happened.
Going to Zhou Chen for help would only cause her more distress and humiliation, and she didn't want to go through that again.
"The one who tied the knot must untie it; he's the one who called the police. Only if he doesn't pursue the matter will they release the person; otherwise..."
Zhou Na didn't continue. Although she also found this method hard to accept, there really was no other way.
"It's just an apology, right? For my son Xiao Kun, I'm shameless. I'll apologize to him!"
Grandma Zhao decided to go all out and went directly to find Zhou Chen.
Seeing this, Zhou Ling hesitated for a moment, but ultimately made the same decision as Old Mrs. Zhao.
For his sake, Zhao Kun was willing to take the blame himself and clear her name.
This is enough to prove how much he loves her.
Why can't Zhou Ling do something similar? Even if she is humiliated by Zhou Chen, so what? As long as Zhou Chen doesn't pursue the matter to the end and Zhao Kun doesn't go to jail, all the grievances and humiliations she suffers are worth it.
"Okay, I'll go."
Zhou Ling raised her head, made up her mind, and immediately followed in Zhao's footsteps.
Seeing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law begging Zhou Chen, Zhou Na thought for a moment, and finally followed in their direction.
On the other end,
Zhou Chen received a call from Uncle Hat, and was both surprised and delighted to hear that the culprit who vandalized his parents' graves had been caught.
"Mr. Zhou, based on the clues you mentioned earlier, and after our on-site investigation..."
Two minutes later,
Zhou Chen's face was frosty as she hung up the phone.
The culprit is Zhao Kun!
He's the man Zhou Ling insisted on choosing!
Uncle Hat said that Zhao Kun admitted that he did everything himself and that it had nothing to do with anyone else. Zhou Chen just found it ridiculous. How could it be possible that Zhou Ling, that ingrate, wasn't involved?
Zhao Kun couldn't possibly know where his parents' graves were.
