Without any hesitation, Song Daqiang immediately grabbed an iron rod and a flashlight and went down into the tunnel with Lao Li.
They went down to the basement and saw what they saw: Lin Peng was choking Song Xue, his eyes bloodshot.
"stop!"
Song Daqiang immediately stepped forward, picked up an iron rod, and struck Lin Peng on the head with it.
Lin Peng howled in pain, reached up and wiped his hand, finding blood. Enraged, he picked up a hoe, ready to start fighting, but when he saw that the person in front of him was actually Song Daqiang, he was stunned.
"Sister...brother-in-law..."
When Song Xue saw Song Daqiang arrive, she was a little confused, but she quickly went up and hugged him. "Dad, if you hadn't come, Uncle would have strangled me!"
Song Daqiang never expected that Lin Peng and Song Xue would be here. He asked, "What's going on? What are you two doing here?"
He looked at the secret room again, but it was already empty. He thought to himself, "This is the ancestral secret room."
But there was nothing left. He immediately sat on the ground, beating his chest and stamping his feet, heartbroken and indignant!
"Oh dear! My Song family's century-old wealth! What a tragedy!"
Song Daqiang started wailing and howling.
He was also hoping to sell his ancestral property and run off to Hong Kong.
Now that's bad. Without all that family property, the money from the previous sales is barely enough to buy a boat ticket. We'll be living off our savings forever.
Which heartless bastard stole his family fortune?!
Song Xue was quick-witted. She thought that she couldn't let Song Daqiang know that she was there to dig for treasure, so she decided to push all the blame onto Lin Peng.
Since this uncle is cold-blooded and ruthless, then don't blame her for being heartless and ungrateful.
"Dad! It's Uncle Lin Peng! He came to our old house to steal things. When I found out and stopped him, he tried to strangle me."
After saying that, Song Xue's tears started falling down her cheeks.
Song Daqiang believed him without a doubt. He stood up, pointed at Lin Peng's nose, and started cursing, "You, Lin Peng, how have we, the Song family, ever wronged you all these years? You actually tried to steal our things! I'll beat you to death!"
After saying that, she picked up an iron rod and started hitting Lin Peng. Lin Peng ran away while cursing, "Song Xue, you were the one who said you knew the location of the secret room and came with us, but now it's all my fault!"
Song Xue immediately cried even louder, "Dad, look, Uncle is accusing me! If I really came here to dig for treasure, then why did you strangle me just now?"
Having witnessed it with his own eyes, Song Daqiang naturally believed Song Xue. He then took an iron rod and started fighting with Lin Peng. In the end, he subdued him, tied his hands, and dragged him to the ground.
Just then, a series of loud honking sounds came from outside, and a Changjiang 750 sidecar police motorcycle stopped at the entrance.
Song Ning seized the opportunity and called the police, saying that someone was stealing from the Song family's old house. So, the police cars were dispatched.
This will be just right.
The police walked in and saw everything in front of them.
Lin Peng was found tied up, with a tricycle, several sacks of belongings, and tools used in the crime, including a hoe and a hammer, beside him.
There are both witnesses and physical evidence.
Lin Peng was arrested immediately.
"Brother-in-law, please don't arrest me... It's all a misunderstanding... Tell the police it's all a misunderstanding..."
Song Daqiang glared coldly at Lin Peng, wishing he could kill him. He figured the kid had already taken all the money from the secret room. How could he possibly let him go?
Considering that Lin Peng has been spending the Song family's money on everything from food and drink to personal expenses over the years, he had long disliked his brother-in-law.
He then said to the police officer, "Officer, I can testify that I just saw him stealing our things. Please interrogate him thoroughly and make him confess."
Lin Peng cried even louder and pleaded with Song Xue, "Song Xue, please plead for me, or I'll expose you too."
Song Xue chuckled, thinking to herself that Song Daqiang had witnessed Lin Peng trying to strangle her. As long as she insisted that she was the victim, Lin Peng would have no way to explain himself.
She then cried to the police officer, "Officer, this Lin Peng not only steals things, but after I found out, he actually tried to kill me."
"Theft combined with murder for financial gain is a double offense. The minimum sentence is 20 years. Lin Peng, you're under arrest!"
After saying this, the police arrested Lin Peng and brought him to justice.
When Song Daqiang returned with a long face, Lin Xiuzhi was pacing anxiously in circles at the door.
Just now, the police called her and said that her younger brother, Lin Peng, had been arrested for burglary and murder.
Seeing Song Daqiang return, she quickly grabbed his arm and cried out as if grasping at a straw, "Old Song, Lin Peng has been arrested, you have to think of something!"
Song Daqiang was already angry, and when he saw Lin Xiuzhi's current state, his eyes were filled with icy rage. He was immediately disgusted, so he shoved her aside and slapped her across the face.
Lin Xiuzhi was slapped to the ground. She covered her face and cried out in disbelief, "Old Song, why did you hit me?"
"You wretched woman, don't think I don't know all these years. It's one thing for you to secretly give Lin Peng the family's money behind my back, but now you're trying to take my Song family's century-old assets. I think you don't want to live anymore."
After saying that, Song Daqiang stepped forward and started punching and kicking Lin Xiuzhi.
"I'm not dead yet! You two, mother and daughter, conspired with Lin Peng to seize the old house and its assets. Do you think I'm a dead man?"
Lin Xiuzhi screamed in pain, her carefully maintained face quickly turning into a swollen mess. "Song Xue, save me!"
Song Xue quickly stepped forward to pull Song Daqiang away, "Dad, are you crazy? Mom has worked so hard for this family all these years, even if she hasn't done anything particularly meritorious..."
