Chapter 234 Switching
Upon hearing Wu Yong'an say that he was going to lock them up in the police station, Xu Daqiang's legs went weak with fear.
If Tong Decheng and the others hadn't been holding Xu Daqiang's arm, he probably would have knelt down on the snow.
He glared at Li Guixiang, his face darkening, and said hatefully, "Damn woman, it's all your fault! We were just staying at home, why did you have to come here and cause trouble for this bitch?"
Li Guixiang still tried to struggle, and she winked at Xu Daqiang, saying, "Husband, don't listen to these people's nonsense. Isn't Yirou our own daughter? Don't..."
"Alright! Since you won't tell the truth..." Wu Yong'an turned his head and called out towards the courtyard gate, "Chen Liguo, Qiao Jinfeng!"
"You're here, Chief. What are your orders?"
Chen Liguo and his companion, who were listening intently to the sounds inside, entered the courtyard and asked.
Wu Yong'an pointed to Xu Daqiang and Li Guixiang's family and said, "This family is suspected of child trafficking. Take them back and interrogate them thoroughly..."
"Yes!" Chen Liguo replied, and then took off the handcuffs from his lower back and walked towards Chen Liguo with a fierce look in his eyes, as if he was about to drag him away to eat peanuts at any moment.
Seeing this, Xu Daqiang trembled with fear. Before the others could speak again, he shouted, "Don't...don't arrest me! I'm innocent! I know nothing about these things! If you want to ask, ask Li Guixiang! I'm innocent..."
"Xu Daqiang, you idiot!" Li Guixiang's face was twisted with rage, looking like a ghost. So what if these people guessed that Xu Yirou wasn't her biological daughter? They had no proof!
Why is Xu Daqiang so impatient? As long as the two of them don't say anything, what can these people do to them?
"It's actually true......"
Xu Yirou felt a mix of emotions.
In fact, in her previous life, she had some doubts about whether she was Li Guixiang's biological daughter.
They even conducted a secret investigation.
However, because Xu Daqiang and his family moved several times when she was young, and she was too young at the time, she has no memory of it.
Even if we wanted to investigate, there was nowhere to start.
We had no choice but to give up.
Who could have imagined that when she made up her mind to sever ties with them before they started to exploit her, she would receive an unexpected reward?
Xu Yirou slowly walked up to Li Guixiang, looking at this person who she had initially only hated but now wanted to tear to pieces, and said, "Li Guixiang, where are my biological parents? Where are they? How did you take me away from them?"
Li Guixiang wanted to argue, but Wu Yong'an spoke first: "Think it over before you speak, otherwise, it's hard to say how your son and daughter will be treated after they're locked up."
Well, since he's no longer a police officer, scaring this kind of heartless person shouldn't be a problem!
Just as our teachers said, sometimes, in order to achieve our goals, we need to be flexible and adaptable, rather than rigidly adhering to principles.
Sure enough, after hearing that Wu Yong'an was going to attack Xu Yinuo and the others, Li Guixiang finally couldn't hold back anymore. With a look of despair, she said, "I'll talk... I'll talk... Yes, Xu Yirou was adopted..."
"Found it?" Xu Yirou sneered, "Do you really think you're the only smart person in the world?"
"Chief, let's take them to the station for questioning! I refuse to believe that our criminal investigation methods can't get the truth out of them."
Wu Yong'an nodded, signaling Chen Liguo to take action directly.
You found it?
If Xu Yirou was truly adopted, Li Guixiang wouldn't have had that expression when it was revealed that they weren't Xu Yirou's biological parents.
In fact, given Li Guixiang's character, after the truth was revealed, she would never show such a fearful and panicked expression. Instead, she would condescendingly say things like, "If they hadn't given Xu Yirou a bite to eat, she would probably have starved to death long ago."
When Xu Yinuo saw Chen Liguo actually take out handcuffs and cuff him, the icy cold touch of the handcuffs almost made him wet his pants.
He frantically asked Li Guixiang, "Mom, what happened? Tell me quickly! Is there anything more important than me? Don't forget, I'm the only son of the Xu family. If I get arrested, the Xu family line will be severed!"
"Mom, Mom, just tell me what your older sister is asking! Don't let my mistakes be a consequence of your own!"
Li Guixiang's psychological defenses were finally broken down by Xu Yinuo's repeated calls.
"I...I said, don't arrest Yi Nuo...you...you're someone I stole from the capital..." Li Guixiang stammered, her eyes darting around.
"Stolen?"
Wu Yong'an asked, "Why did you steal a girl? How did you steal her? What are Yi Rou's biological parents' identities?"
No wonder Wu Yong'an asked that question.
Although it sounds cruel, it is indeed the truth.
People in this era mostly favored sons over daughters. They might not even be willing to raise the girls they gave birth to, so how could they possibly steal a girl to raise themselves?
Besides, it's not like Li Guixiang can't have children. She has her own children, Xu Yiqian and Xu Yinuo, both boys and girls. Why would she have to steal someone else's child to raise?
“I…” Li Guixiang looked at the scene before her.
At this time, most of the villagers of Bakeshu Village had already gathered here.
The courtyard was packed with people, both inside and out.
Two police officers were also on guard, watching them intently.
If he didn't honestly confess, he definitely wouldn't be able to leave this village.
Li Guixiang absolutely hated that educated youth named Xia Yi.
If it weren't for her encouragement, how could I have willingly offered myself up, ending up in this situation with no way out?
"Xu Yirou was stolen from a family in Beijing more than 20 years ago."
Li Guixiang closed her eyes and resignedly said, "Back then, Xu Daqiang and I were sweeping the streets, delivering vegetables, and emptying swill in Beijing. Xu Daqiang and I got pregnant out of wedlock and had a daughter. The next day, when Xu Daqiang was delivering vegetables to a family, he learned that the family had also just had a girl."
"Xu Daqiang saw that the family was wealthy and the girl was pampered, so he had designs on her. The next day, when he went to deliver vegetables, he hid my daughter and me in a basket and brought us into the family's house. Then he distracted the nanny who was looking after the children, and I took the opportunity to switch the two children, then hid them in the basket again and left..."
