"Ah..." Zhao Jiu was a very patient person. The sound she made when she fell was not loud and did not reach the outside room at all.
Zhao Jiu got up and saw that his hand was crooked. He wanted to go out and tell his wife, but it hurt too much, and cold sweat poured down his forehead. So he had to call his wife in.
"Old Zhao, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Jiu's wife heard the shout and rushed over from the kitchen. She looked closely and saw that Zhao Jiu's face was pale and his hand was crooked. She quickly helped him sit down and went outside to call a neighbor with a car for help.
In her panic, Zhao Jiu's wife didn't even see where she was standing, and the next second she tripped over a small object.
"Hmph, going to see a doctor so soon? No way!"
"Even if it hurts, you have to let me suffer a little longer..." Lin Xiaoxiao didn't rush to leave, but stood beside the two of them.
Zhao Jiuyao got up to help his wife, but Lin Xiaoxiao's movement caused him to fall again. As he fell, he felt as if the skin on his forehead was almost scraped off.
Tiny beads of blood appeared, and Lin Xiaoxiao's mood improved slightly.
Seeing that their old arms and legs made it difficult for them to walk, Lin Xiaoxiao then took a step and left.
When Lin Xiaoxiao returned to the Han family home, Grandpa Han and the others had already returned. She greeted them briefly and then said that she was not feeling well and needed to go inside to lie down for a while.
These words made Bai Hehua and Grandpa Han nervous.
When Lin Xiaoxiao was pregnant, she could only eat a little, and the rest of the time she was lively and healthy. Now, after going out for a short walk, she felt unwell, so the two quickly told her to go inside and rest.
Those around Lin Xiaoxiao noticed her pale face and tactfully went back. They had come to chat, not to cause trouble. Guests can come anytime, but don't be tactless and expect others to entertain you when they have something to do.
"Go inside and rest. We'll come back another day."
"Xiaoxiao, come to my house to play sometime."
"Okay, I'll definitely visit another day." After saying that, Lin Xiaoxiao nodded to the elderly people and walked into the house.
She called Han Qiushi directly, saying she wasn't feeling well and asked him to come back immediately. Han Qiushi was immediately frightened when he heard his wife say this, and he hung up the phone to ask his boss for leave.
"Mom, Grandpa..." Lin Xiaoxiao finished hanging up the phone and her eyes met those of Grandpa Han and Bai Hehua sitting on the sofa. Seeing them anxiously enter and noticing her on the phone, she fell silent. She was about to speak again after hanging up.
Lin Xiaoxiao immediately changed her expression, becoming somewhat serious, and spoke in a very earnest tone.
“Grandpa, when I came over, I heard that something seemed to have happened at Grandpa Zhao’s house. There was a large group of people gathered around, so I went over to join in the fun. But there were too many people, and I might have bumped into someone.”
"The neighbors all seemed to want to help, but Grandpa Zhao refused to let anyone into his study and insisted on going out by himself."
"I think Grandpa Zhao is acting a bit strange." Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't say it directly to Grandpa Han and Bai Hehua, so she could only say it vaguely. She would have to wait for Han Qiushi to come back and let him handle the specifics.
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Han glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao's face again. She had been pale just a moment ago, but now she was fine? Was this granddaughter-in-law faking it?
Combined with what Lin Xiaoxiao said, Grandpa Han felt that she was trying to convey a message to him.
Grandpa Han remained seated without speaking, carefully considering Lin Xiaoxiao's words. He quickly stood up, frowning slightly, and said he wanted to go and take a look.
Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly said, "Grandpa, be careful."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Han glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao again, opened his mouth as if to say something, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth and nodded.
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao speaking in riddles, Bai Hehua was also very curious. What exactly was Lin Xiaoxiao trying to express? Regardless of what she could understand, if she could, it certainly wouldn't be a good thing for them.
Instead of asking Lin Xiaoxiao if she had discovered anything, she carefully inquired about her health. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with her, she began gossiping about the Zhao family to Lin Xiaoxiao.
I stayed inside all afternoon and had no idea what was happening outside.
Lin Xiaoxiao repeated what she had just said to Bai Hehua in a broken-down manner. After she finished telling Bai Hehua what had happened to the Zhao family, Han Qiushi returned in a hurry.
"Honey, what's wrong? We're going to the hospital right now." Han Qiushi ran in.
Seeing Bai Hehua and Lin Xiaoxiao enjoying their meal on the sofa, he was stunned. His wife was alright? Then why was she in such a hurry to call him back?
Just as he was about to ask, Lin Xiaoxiao gave Han Qiushi a look.
After understanding, Han Qiushi carried Lin Xiaoxiao into the room in his arms, saying, "If you're not feeling well, go lie down inside." Ignoring what Bai Hehua was saying behind him, Han Qiushi strode into the room.
Once they arrived at the room, Han Qiushi immediately asked, "Why did you call me back in such a hurry? Did you discover something?"
"Yes, it's a very important thing. I've discovered that Zhao Jiu is the old man that Liu Hai and Wan Li were talking about."
"Zhao Jiu? Zhao... the old man?"
"Yes, that's him."
"This person is hypocritical and ruthless, he plunders the people's wealth, and he has a house full of treasures." Lin Xiaoxiao told Han Qiushi about everything that happened today from beginning to end.
She emphasized what she discovered in the basement.
After hearing this, Han Qiushi's expression changed completely, and his brows furrowed tightly, as if he couldn't believe Zhao Jiu's true colors.
Because, on the surface, Zhao Jiu deeply hates petty people and also despises corrupt people. In a moment of desperation, he even said that anyone who embezzles from the country should be killed immediately, and their family members should not be spared either.
It's unbelievable that someone so righteous and intolerant of injustice would do such things underground.
"I really wanted to tell Grandpa directly, but I can't explain how I found out. I could only say a few words to him in a very subtle way."
"The rest is up to you. This matter must be handled quickly." If we are slow, who knows what might happen next.
After saying that, Lin Xiaoxiao took out the tape recorder and handed it to Han Qiushi.
Han Qiushi snapped out of his daze, took the recorder, and immediately nodded: "Don't worry, leave everything to me."
Soon, Han Qiushi found Old Master Han. The two exchanged a few words in hushed tones, and Old Master Han's expression immediately changed.
Old Master Han's eyes darted around, and finally he said to Han Qiushi with great certainty, "Xiaoxiao discovered all of this, right?"
"Yes, that's all I can tell you. I can't say anything more, not even if you are my grandfather. This is my promise to her." Han Qiushi looked at the old man with unusual seriousness and said.
