"Comrade, this is a family matter, we..."
Yun Zhixiong just wanted to get rid of this director who always liked to make a big deal out of things as soon as possible.
But before he could finish speaking, Yun Tangyin interrupted him: "Director Wang, look at the mess this has made. My house was burgled as soon as I got back. You should report it to the police first."
At this point, she glanced at Yun Zhixiong and said, "It's lucky that the person who sneaked in didn't come for money or to kill us, otherwise what would have happened to our family?"
Yun Zhixiong's eyes darted around.
That's true, although he was also puzzled as to what kind of master thief could so stealthily empty the entire house in the middle of the night...
But when you think about it carefully, if someone has this ability, taking his life would be a piece of cake.
What if he stabs her and then sees Xu Rong in her pajamas...?
Yun Zhixiong was terrified and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, a thorough investigation is necessary!"
Xu Rong frowned, unable to speak, and could only secretly glare at Yun Tangyin.
Director Wang agreed that this made sense and personally helped call the police.
But such a major case would immediately become a topic of conversation and spread rapidly among the neighbors.
When the police came to investigate, there was a large crowd outside the door, all wondering what kind of master thief could be so amazing.
Yun Zhixiong looked anxious and kept repeating that he hoped the case could be solved as soon as possible.
When asked about Xu Rong, Yun Tangyin noticed that she was visibly nervous, but she tried to remain calm.
Xu Runli nestled in Xu Rong's arms, not daring to lift her head even slightly.
Yun Tangyin curled her lips and stepped forward: "Comrade, I have a clue to provide!"
The police officer wearing glasses immediately nodded: "Go on."
Yun Tangyin pointed at Xu Rong: "I suspect it was her. She colluded with someone to steal things while I was away from home, and she even tried to murder my father!"
Xu Rong's eyes widened, and she immediately tried to defend herself: "I... how could I..."
Yun Zhixiong frowned as well: "Yinyin, don't talk nonsense!"
Yun Tangyin ignored her and continued, "Otherwise, how do you explain this empty house? It must have been at the owner's behest. Also, I reasonably suspect that Xu Rong moved all the stolen items."
"If that's not the case, then it means you two secretly moved things in the middle of the night, trying to leave me here alone!"
Her words were firm and resonant, and Yun Tangyin glanced at Xu Rong after each sentence.
Clearly and openly doubting, openly and honestly accusing.
Xu Rong's face turned pale instantly.
She woke up to find the house had changed, which she could comfort herself by thinking it was a ghost.
This thing can be transferred...
She took countless gold bars, silver bars, antique vases, and other valuables to supplement her family's income!
There's no need for a detailed investigation; her family has a huge pile of receipts alone.
But if the police get involved, wouldn't that really confirm that he's a traitor within his own family?
Xu Rong didn't have time to investigate how Yun Tangyin knew she had stolen anything; she immediately tried to explain to Yun Zhixiong.
Yun Zhixiong wasn't unaware that Xu Rong had taken things, but those things weren't as valuable as his relationship with Xu Rong, so he turned a blind eye.
Now that things have come to light, he only feels ashamed. He married a wife who is a traitor in the family. It sounds terrible to others!
"Shut up!" Yun Zhixiong glared at her like that for the first time.
Seeing her own mother being scolded, Xu Runli glared at Yun Tangyin, who was watching the scene unfold, and said, "You... my mother just gave a little something to my grandmother. What do you mean by 'transfer'?"
Xu Rong was so anxious that she didn't even have time to cover her daughter's mouth.
The onlookers outside all exclaimed in unison, "Oh dear!"
Yun Tangyin smiled slightly at the police officer: "Comrade, you see, the suspect himself has confessed."
She really doesn't understand. Is the author brainless or just rotten? Why not just follow the plot and instead promote Xu Runli to be the female lead?
Yun Tangyin couldn't see where Xu Runli's simplicity and purity lay; she only felt that Xu Runli possessed a kind of primal, untamed evil.
The idea that anything that benefits oneself is right is deeply ingrained in her mind.
However, with slight modifications and a touch of subtle embellishment, she becomes the female lead in the original story.
Unfortunately, Yun Tangyin wasn't about to swallow her pride.
Watching helplessly as Xu Rong and Xu Runli were taken away for a detailed discussion, Xu Runli kept turning her head and shouting at Yun Zhixiong:
"Dad! Dad, say something! They're taking Mom and me away! Dad—"
In fact, at this critical juncture, even if Yun Zhixiong said he wouldn't pursue the matter, Xu Rong and Xu Runli would never be able to clear their names.
Xu Rong knew all too well how much Yun Zhixiong cared about his image.
She's used this to her advantage for so many years, but now that this matter has come to light, no matter how sweetly Yun Zhixiong spoke of his love before, he's absolutely not going to publicly protect her and her daughter now.
Therefore, Xu Rong kept her head down and remained silent throughout.
It wasn't until he passed by Yun Tangyin that he revealed his resentful gaze.
Yun Tangyin didn't even glance at her.
After Xu Rong and her daughter were taken away, Director Wang had to leave before he could stay and do any persuasive work with them.
The empty house now only had Yun Tangyin and Yun Zhixiong left.
Yun Tangyin walked directly to Yun Zhixiong, whose face was ashen and whose hands were clenched into fists.
His face was contorted with rage, as if he were about to devour someone.
Yun Tangyin said in a calm tone: "If my elder brother knew that our stepmother was a thief with dirty hands, his reputation would definitely be ruined, and he would be implicated in the army as well."
This statement hit Yun Zhixiong right where it hurts.
The pillar of the Yun family now is not Yun Zhixiong, but Yun Hua, the commander.
The fact that the Yun family hasn't been liquidated is all thanks to Yun Hua.
This exceptional seedling must not be tarnished by any blemish!
But... the thought of Xu Rong and her daughter being abandoned and suffering so much more makes him, a grown man, unable to let two women down for the rest of his life.
Yun Zhixiong gritted his teeth: "Then what do you want to do? I can't divorce her. If I abandon them, how will they survive?"
Yun Tangyin had guessed that she would say that, and very considerately offered a second solution: "You can sever ties with me and my older brother."
Yun Zhixiong's pupils trembled. He had lived most of his life and finally saw his son become successful. Could he just cut ties with him like that?
If he loses his job, who will take care of him in his old age?
"no!"
Yun Zhixiong flatly refused.
Yun Tangyin shrugged: "There's nothing we can do about it. Anyway, if my older brother gets implicated, the Yun family will suffer too. You can see if he'll be willing to take care of you in your old age when he's implicated."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhixiong was immediately caught in a dilemma.
Alternatively, divorce Xu Rong to save Yunhua; at least he'll have his son and daughter to support him in his old age.
Alternatively, he could sever ties with his son, which would mean he'd be left with nothing, and the Yun family's glory would have nothing to do with him. But at least he still had a wife...
I feel like I can choose any path, but every path is painful to walk.
