Chapter 12 This girl resented me for finding her a stepmother and deliberately framed me!
"Is this true?" Deputy Director Xiong narrowed his eyes and stared at him.
“…” Liu Hongyang’s face turned pale as paper in an instant, and his crooked neck made his expression look even more ridiculous.
But at this moment, he didn't care about his image anymore and hurriedly explained, "It's... it's a misunderstanding, absolutely not!"
"Misunderstanding?" Deputy Director Xiong sneered, his sharp eyes piercing Liu Hongyang like a knife. "Then whether there is one or not, we'll know if we search. But you'd better tell the truth. Where are the tickets?"
In the corner, Cao Jing and Liu Qingqing huddled together, not daring to even breathe.
Liu Qingqing had just been scolded by Liu Hongyang, and at this moment she was just biting her lips tightly, afraid that she would say a wrong word.
"Comrade..." Liu Hongyang thought of the boat ticket he had kept close to him, gritted his teeth, and prepared to give it a try: "Look, my family is in such a state, where can I get the money to buy a boat ticket..."
"You can live in a house like this, are you treating me like a child?" Deputy Director Xiong's face became even gloomier.
He had now determined that Liu Hongyang had emptied the house just to prepare for escape, so naturally he would not believe his words.
With a wave of his hand, Deputy Director Xiong sent several people with red armbands to rush into the house and search.
Although the Shen residence was now almost completely exposed, they still diligently searched every corner.
"Deputy Director!" A young man came running down from upstairs. "We've searched the bedroom and study, and found nothing!"
Liu Hongyang was facing Xiong Lizhi, deputy director of the Cabinet Committee, and forced a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Director Xiong, look, my house was really robbed..." Liu Hongyang rubbed his hands and said in a flattering tone, "Even the bed was stolen..."
Xiong Lizhi narrowed his eyes and looked at this ridiculously empty "mansion".
"Liu Hongyang..." Xiong Lizhi spoke slowly, a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "I've handled many thefts, but I've never seen a thief pry open the door as well."
That’s right, Chen Zhaoyue saw that the doors of his house were all made of fine mahogany, so he simply moved them away as well.
But there was not enough time, and we only had time to pry open the two doors on the upper floor.
"So..." Deputy Director Xiong looked at Liu Hongyang meaningfully. "This isn't a burglary, it's just a move. What do you think?"
Cao Jing's body shook violently, and the ill-fitting floral shirt she was wearing fell off, revealing half of her shoulder, but she was unaware of it.
Liu Qingqing was even more frightened, and there was no trace of her usual arrogance.
"Search." Xiong Lizhi suddenly ordered.
Before Liu Hongyang could react, two men with red armbands immediately stepped forward and held him down.
Liu Hongyang looked at the two men walking towards him and struggled subconsciously, but his neck was still crooked and he couldn't exert any strength at all. He could only let them search his body randomly, "What are you doing! I..."
Before he finished speaking, a man with a red armband took out three boat tickets from Liu Hongyang's pocket.
Liu Hongyang's face turned pale. He never expected that they would search him without saying a word. He didn't even have time to react.
"Liu Hongyang, can you explain to me what these three tickets are used for?" Xiong Lizhi held the tickets in his hand with a serious expression.
"This, this is for... doing things..." However, since Liu Hongyang was able to take the Shen family into his pocket, he still had some psychological quality, and he was still trying to quibble at this time.
"Business?" Xiong Lizhi sneered and shook the boat ticket. "Where do I need to clear my house to get business? Liu Hongyang, do you really think we are three-year-old children?"
Outside the door, seeing the conclusive evidence, Shen Zhaoyue walked in cautiously.
Her appearance made Liu Hongyang's pupils shrink suddenly. Such a coincidental timing, coupled with someone's report, made him look at Chen Zhaoyue with a strange look.
Is it her...
"Tell me the truth, where did the things you moved away go?" Xiong Lizhi asked coldly when he saw Liu Hongyang's erratic look.
"No... no, my house was really robbed!" Liu Hongyang gritted his teeth and continued to fight stubbornly.
He thought that since all the property had been transferred to the ship, he could not be convicted based on just three tickets. As long as the money could not be found, he still had a chance to escape.
As long as he didn't say anything, these people would never be able to find the money that had been transferred away.
"I remember..." Chen Zhaoyue suddenly spoke, with a pair of clear and innocent eyes, as if she suddenly remembered something: "It seems that our family also has a cargo ship?"
Her voice was very soft, but it echoed in the house like thunder: "Could all our belongings be on the boat?"
On the boat...
Go ahead...
Liu Hongyang only felt a buzzing sound in his head. He turned his head suddenly and his neck made a "click" sound.
Shen, Zhao, the moon!
How dare she?
He glared at Shen Zhaoyue fiercely, his eyes looking as if he wanted to eat her alive.
However, Chen Zhaoyue didn't even bother to glance at him, but just looked at Xiong Lizhi with sincerity on her face, looking like a simple girl who was ignorant of the world.
Xiong Lizhi, who was considering whether to torture him, was delighted when he heard this.
"Are you sure?" He leaned forward slightly, his voice filled with suppressed excitement. "Is there really a cargo ship? Then do you know which dock it is at?"
"Deputy Director Xiong, don't believe her..." Liu Hongyang's face suddenly changed, and the veins on his crooked neck bulged. "This girl hates me for finding her a stepmother, and she's deliberately trying to frame me!"
He struggled to move forward, but was held down by the two men with red armbands.
"Let him be quiet." Xiong Lizhi narrowed his eyes impatiently, his voice as cold as ice.
"yes."
A man with a red armband immediately stepped forward and covered Liu Hongyang's mouth with his rough hands.
Liu Hongyang could only make a muffled "wuwu" sound, and his old face turned red.
But those bloodshot eyes stared at Shen Zhaoyue, as if they wanted to cut her into pieces with their gaze.
Xiong Lizhi adjusted his cuffs and softened his tone when he turned to Chen Zhaoyue: “Little girl, please continue.”
“It seems like it used to be docked at Pier 5…” Chen Zhaoyue answered timidly.
Then, as if he suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, he covered his mouth in panic, his big watery eyes full of fear.
However, the information has been leaked. As long as the Cabinet Committee goes looking for it, they will definitely find the ship.
"Xiao Chen," Xiong Lizhi's eyes flashed, and he immediately ordered the people around him: "Take your men to Pier 5 immediately!"
He slowly put the three boat tickets into the pocket of his Zhongshan suit, a meaningful smile on his lips: "Liu Hongyang, the organization will keep these tickets for you for now."
"No..." Liu Hongyang's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
The already pale face now looked even more deathly gray.
He opened his mouth, but only a wheezing sound came out of his throat, like a stranded fish.
It's over, everything is over!
"Hongyang..."
"dad?"
Cao Jing and Liu Qingqing huddled in the corner, mother and daughter huddled together and shivered.
Liu Qingqing's face was covered with tears and snot, but she didn't even dare to wipe it off.
She... must be dreaming, right?
We were about to get on the ship and leave tomorrow, but today we were wiped out!
Chen Zhaoyue lowered his head, but the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Her slender fingers gently stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist, feeling the heavy weight inside.
The good show has just begun. If the Liu family does not suffer endless torture, how can they comfort the original owner's soul in heaven?
