Chapter 17 Lin Yueru was taken away for investigation
As soon as they entered the alley, they saw Old Lady Lin and her sister-in-law.
One of them was wiping away tears, while the other squatted blankly at the gate of the Jiang family's house.
"Mom, sister-in-law, what brings you here?" Lin Yueru frowned.
She is the third child in her family, with older brothers and sisters and younger brothers and sisters.
With more children, they become less rare.
Besides, in this day and age, every family dotes on the eldest child and loves the youngest, leaving the middle child to suffer.
That's right, Lin Yueru is the one who gets bullied at home.
Therefore, after marrying Shen Xiuwen, Lin Yueru was very clear about matters concerning her family.
Normally, I try not to reply to messages, but if I can't avoid it, I just keep complaining when I go back.
She wouldn't have chosen her nephew if she hadn't been unable to find a suitable candidate this time.
Seeing their expressions of utter despair, Lin Yueru couldn't help but have doubts.
Could it be that Baozhu, that idiot, messed things up?
Just as she was thinking this, the next second, as if she had found her pillar of support, Grandma Lin grabbed her hand.
With snot and tears streaming down her face, she wailed, "Yueru, you're the most capable one in our family! You have to save Baozhu this time, no matter what!"
"He's so young, he hasn't even had a chance to carry on the Lin family line yet. If he's gone like this, how will I face your father in the afterlife?"
Lin Yueru knew immediately that things were over, but at this moment she could only pretend to be calm.
"Mom, don't panic. What happened to Baozhu?"
A hint of impatience flashed across Shen Xiuwen's face; he looked down on his father-in-law's family from the bottom of his heart.
She used to think he was poor and refused to let Yue Ru marry him.
Later, seeing that he had become the son-in-law of the Jiang family, she shamelessly sent her daughter to his bed.
If it weren't for his genuine love for Yue Ru, and the fact that Yue Ru was pregnant with his child, he would have found the Lin family members utterly disgusting!
I glanced around and thankfully no one was there, otherwise I would have been incredibly embarrassed.
"Alright, Mom, stop crying. Let's go inside and talk about it."
As he spoke, he took the key out of his pocket.
After trying for a long time, the key just wouldn't go in.
Looking down, I realized that the locks in my house seemed to have been changed...
Lin's eldest daughter-in-law, also known as Baozhu's mother, is an impatient person and doesn't have time for beating around the bush.
Every minute that is wasted means one more minute of suffering for her son, Baozhu.
Knowing that her sister-in-law was neither in charge nor able to make decisions, she directly sought help from Shen Xiuwen.
"Brother-in-law, my Baozhu has been arrested by the police..."
"You know Baozhu. He's timid and cares a lot about his reputation."
"If it weren't for those street thugs egging him on, he would never have stolen anything!"
"Please, I'm begging you, please think of a way to get them out of here, okay?"
"I only have one son, I can't watch him die!"
With each word spoken by Lin's eldest sister-in-law, Lin Yueru's heart sank a little further.
The remaining people were also shocked when they heard this!
Shen Qingqing reacted quickly.
Judging from what my aunt said, they only knew that my cousin had been arrested for stealing, but they probably didn't know whose house he had stolen from, otherwise they wouldn't have come here.
The most urgent thing now is to get her away as soon as possible and prevent her from saying anything inappropriate here.
So Shen Qingqing quickly stepped forward and helped her up.
"Aunt, don't worry, my cousin's situation isn't that serious—"
"It's not that serious!"
"The police said they emptied the house and the amount of money involved is huge. Even if they don't get shot, they'll still be sentenced to more than ten years of hard labor!"
What?
Shen Qingqing could hardly believe what she was hearing.
He... he emptied his house?
How dare he!
Lin Yueru was also stunned. The mother and daughter looked at each other and both saw the word "disbelief" in each other's eyes!
Shen Xiuwen sneered inwardly; he knew that their family coming here would bring no good news!
"Sister-in-law, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you, it's just that Baozhu has made a huge mess this time."
"Think about it, who has an easy life these days?"
"He came up and emptied the house. How is that any different from murder for money?"
"Xiuwen, you can't just not help..."
Just as Old Lady Lin began to sing, Shen Xiuwen once again ruthlessly refused.
"It's not that we don't want to help, it's that we can't!"
“Right now, the whole country is making examples of exemplary cases. At this critical juncture, who would dare to show favoritism?”
"Mom, don't blame me, your son-in-law is just that capable."
"I also advise you: don't rush into treatment when you're desperate."
"It wouldn't be good if this matter affected the younger brothers and sisters!"
That makes sense, but Lin Baozhu is, after all, the eldest grandson of the Lin family.
As the old saying goes, the youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of an old person. How could Old Mrs. Lin really ignore them?
"Xiuwen, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have judged people so skeptically before. I really know I was wrong."
"Even if you don't care about the monk, please help us this time out of respect for Yue Ru, okay?"
"In the end, we are all family. Even if we break bones, we are still connected by tendons."
"If something happens to your maternal uncle's family, it will affect Qingqing's marriage and the marriage prospects of Qingyue and Qing'an. Don't you think so?"
Old Mrs. Lin's words had a double meaning.
It both humbled its stance and implied a threat.
In the past, Shen Xiuwen might have considered these things.
But right now, they're going to Hong Kong in two months, and Jiang Si is going to Heilongjiang Province next week for a rural trip.
Trying to blackmail him with this is a joke!
Just as Shen Xiuwen was about to speak, a slightly mocking laugh came from behind him.
"Wow, it's quite lively here."
When everyone turned around, they saw Jiang Si supporting an elderly man in a Zhongshan suit, with a fierce-looking middle-aged man beside her.
"Third Uncle, what brings you here—"
Shen Xiuwen's eyelids twitched. He greeted her with an awkward smile, but also glared at Jiang Si through gritted teeth.
It seems all those words I said before were in vain. I wonder how many complaints this girl and her third uncle have filed while I was away.
"What, can't I come?"
Third Uncle snorted coldly. If it weren't for Si Yatou's sake...
He wants to take a knife and kill this son of a bitch right now.
"Third Uncle, what are you saying? I'm just worried about your health..."
"Get out, get out! Just seeing you makes me angry. And all of you, what are you all doing standing at the gate? Move aside."
It wasn't until he saw Jiang Si take a key out of her bag that Shen Xiuwen remembered.
"Sisi, why were the locks changed?"
"What, didn't your neighbors tell you?"
"say what?"
“Our house was robbed! The day after you left, a group of petty thieves came and emptied our house.”
"The police said it was very likely that it was someone they knew who committed the crime, otherwise it wouldn't have been such a coincidence."
At this time, Jiang Si was unaware that all five suspects had been apprehended. She only knew that these people had been brought over by Shen Qingqing and her daughter, so she casually mentioned it.
These words struck everyone like a thunderbolt!
The house was emptied out...
The crime was committed by someone known to the victim...
Could it be that Lin Baozhu stole from the Jiang family?
In an instant, Shen Xiuwen's brain felt like it had been exploded by a firecracker, and his heart shattered into pieces.
At that moment, he didn't care about manners anymore; he was like a wild horse that had broken free, and he shot off in a flash.
They searched every room in the house, upstairs and downstairs.
The key point is that secret room in the storage room.
Jiang Si didn't stop her, after all, a knife only hurts when it's stabbed in the heart.
I wonder if that scumbag dad will still be able to laugh for the rest of his life after seeing all the things he worked so hard to prepare being taken away.
Whether she could laugh or not, Jiang Si didn't know.
But Lin Yueru's good days are definitely over.
Because when Shen Xiuwen came out, his face was as black as ink, and his eyes looked like they were poisoned.
Without saying a word, he slapped Lin Yueru hard across the face.
"Was it you?!"
"Dad, calm down—"
Shen Qingqing wanted to plead for Lin Yueru, but Shen Xiuwen wouldn't give anyone face today.
"This is none of your business, shut up!"
He put so much effort into preparing all those things, only to have his own wife let a wolf into the house!
That's more money than an average person could save in a hundred lifetimes!
That's all!
Now they're all gone!
Lin Yueru was so shocked by the slap that she saw stars; she never expected things to turn out this way.
She just wanted to make that brat's life in the countryside less comfortable.
Moreover, how could Baozhu possibly have the guts?
There must be some misunderstanding here.
"Xiuwen, let me explain, it's not what you think..."
"I really didn't..."
As soon as he finished speaking, several police officers walked in with serious expressions.
They had only met Jiang Si before, so they came up and told Jiang Si about the situation first, and then spoke.
Who is Lin Yueru?
Jiang Si was extremely enthusiastic, "That's the one lying on the ground."
The police officer nodded and immediately took out handcuffs.
"Comrade Lin Yueru, you are suspected of instigating a crime. The evidence is conclusive. Please come with us—"
