"Wait a moment--"
Sister-in-law Lin couldn't understand these formal words, so she only asked one question.
"Officer, are you saying that she instigated my son Baozhu's affair?"
"Yes."
"You bastard, Lin Yueru!"
When Sister-in-law Lin learned the truth, she was furious.
"So it was you who ruined my Baozhu! I'll beat you to death, you heartless bastard."
Not satisfied with the beating, Sister-in-law Lin, in a fit of rage, exposed Lin Yueru's secrets.
Back then, the Lin family did indeed look down on Shen Xiuwen for being poor, but the real reason was that Lin Yueru was looking for a better match while still employed, and she was only interested in marrying into a wealthier family.
Including the later claim that she was framed by her family, it was all a lie.
She orchestrated and acted in all of this herself.
Even the insemination drug was bought by Lin Yueru herself!
Upon hearing this, Lin Yueru's face turned deathly pale.
She opened her mouth as if to explain, but Shen Xiuwen calmly helped her up.
What's the point of bringing up those old, trivial matters now that the deed has already been done?
Will the things I lost ever come back?
Moreover, Lin Yueru knows so much about him. If she goes to jail and keeps her mouth shut, her whole family will be buried with her!
He patted her hand and soothed her gently, "It was my fault just now. I shouldn't have doubted you."
But the more he acted like this, the more uncertain Lin Yueru felt.
"Xiuwen, I—"
"Let's not talk about the past. I believe you."
He had acted too impulsively earlier. After calming down, Shen Xiuwen went through everything and realized that there were just too many strange things about this matter.
He admitted that his wife had a few tricks up her sleeve and a bit of cleverness.
But you could say that she colluded with outsiders to empty the house.
That's impossible!
She didn't have the guts, nor was there any need for her to do so.
As for that idiot Lin Baozhu, even if you gave him ten more brains, he still wouldn't have come up with such a meticulous plan.
So the problem still lies with those few people.
And those items, it's not easy to cash out or move them away in two days.
Shen Xiuwen guessed that they had probably found a place to hide.
There's no use getting angry now that things have come to this.
It's better to swallow this anger for now and deal with them slowly after we find the item.
Thinking of this, Shen Xiuwen looked apologetically at the police officers.
"Officer, I think there might be some misunderstanding here?"
“My wife is timid and kind-hearted; she would never instigate her own nephew to do such a thing.”
"Moreover, although Baozhu is a bit unreliable in his daily life, he is not a bad person at heart."
Seeing her son-in-law change his tune, Old Mrs. Lin quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, Officer, our Baozhu isn't that kind of person."
What's going on?
The police officers exchanged bewildered glances. How could a family that had been fighting like antagonists just moments before suddenly become united?
"Comrade Shen, do you mean you're not going to pursue this matter?"
"Yes!"
Shen Xiuwen smiled bitterly, "After all, we're family. If this gets out of hand, how will we get along with our relatives in the future?"
“Baozhu is still young and prone to impulsive actions. We can’t just condemn him for making one mistake.”
"Ultimately, we elders also bear responsibility for this; it's because we didn't raise our child well."
"As long as he returns the items, I'm willing to give him a chance to reform!"
"Pah! What a big face!"
Jiang Si couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
"It was our Jiang family's property that was lost, and I was the one who reported it to the police. You're even willing to give him a chance to reform? What does this have to do with you?"
Shen Xiuwen's face instantly turned red: "...How can you talk like that?"
"Shut up! I haven't even said anything to you yet. Did you leave your brain at your hometown and not bring it back with you?"
"Get this straight, it's your wife and her nephew who emptied my house. You're not helping me, and you're criticizing me!"
"How can you be so biased towards outsiders?"
"Or did you come up with this idea?"
"You! What nonsense are you spouting!"
"If it wasn't you, why are you so agitated?"
Jiang Si rolled her eyes at him and pushed him aside.
"This is none of your business. Don't delay the police officers from handling their case!"
Shen Xiuwen was so angry that he almost couldn't catch his breath, and his fingers trembled.
"Do you only feel happy when you make everyone look bad? Don't you understand the principle of leaving room for others to maneuver?"
"I don't understand, and I don't want to understand."
"All I know is that if you leave someone a way out, he'll only become more despicable!"
After saying that, Jiang Si smiled and said, "Officer, you can take him away. Investigate this case however you want. I'm in charge of this. Don't worry, I won't settle!"
Seeing the police officers put Lin Yueru into the car, Shen Qingqing couldn't hold back any longer.
"Jiang Si, you ungrateful wretch!"
"My mother has taken care of me for so many years, don't you have any heart at all?"
"My cousin didn't steal that much stuff, it was you, wasn't it!"
“You were the one who did this from beginning to end.”
"You deliberately framed me!"
It must be said that the female lead has a very keen sense of smell.
But so what? She had no evidence.
Jiang Si snorted and immediately chased after him to the door: "Officer, I am filing a formal complaint against Shen Qingqing for allegedly withholding information and deliberately protecting a criminal suspect!"
