"I know, it's because of a human trafficking case in Qingxi Town next door that they got involved," Uncle Lin said.
His nonchalant attitude made the onlookers' fists hard.
"So what?" How dare he say it so casually? He clearly has a daughter too.
Noticing the angry stares from those around him, Uncle Lin remained unfazed: "Why are you looking at me like that? My Wan'er was just dragged into this. She's been arrested to assist with the investigation. She'll be released soon once the matter is resolved. My Wan'er would never do anything so heinous. I'm her father, how could I not know?"
Those around him, seeing his confident demeanor, were momentarily stunned, and a hint of doubt began to creep into their hearts. Could it be that they had truly misunderstood?
"Don't think about it, she can't get out," Chen Hao said.
Uncle Lin's expression changed, and he suddenly turned to look at Chen Hao: "Impossible."
Chen Hao looked at Uncle Lin expressionlessly and said, "Before coming here, I went to Qingxi Town and asked the investigators of this case. They confirmed that Lin Wan was one of the perpetrators of the abduction. The evidence is conclusive, and she has already confessed. If nothing unexpected happens, after the investigation is completed, there will only be one outcome for her: execution."
The Lin family members all turned pale, their faces turning ashen and extremely ugly. Only the children were still clueless and unaware of what was happening. They only sensed that the atmosphere between their grandparents, parents, and other family members was not right, and they were too scared to utter a sound.
"This, this is impossible..." Aunt Lin looked incredulous. Although her family liked to be lazy and greedy, they would never do something that could get them shot. They were all cowards and didn't have that kind of guts.
“Investigators will not wrong any innocent person without evidence. You already have a victim here, and you should be aware of that,” Chen Hao said.
Everyone around couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the Fu family next door.
Despite the commotion next door today, Grandma Fu didn't come out to see what was going on. She was afraid, afraid that she might lose control and grab a knife to attack someone. She was afraid that her children weren't being properly taught and would be allowed out to harm others.
Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin exchanged a glance and suddenly had a bad feeling.
Chen Hao looked at Uncle Lin and said, "The case is not yet finished. It seems there are still accomplices who have not been caught. Since you are Lin Wan's parents and family members, and you know so much about her, you may also be involved. The investigators may come looking for you."
The Lin family suddenly shuddered, looked at each other, remained silent for a moment, then suddenly picked up the luggage that had just been thrown out, grabbed the still-unresponsive child, squeezed through the crowd, and ran away.
"A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup. She's already married into your Chen family, so she's one of your Chen family members. It's none of our Lin family's business anymore. Don't come looking for us if you have any problems; we don't know anything about her..."
Everyone around was stunned, including Xing Zhaozhao.
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless.
"Pah, shameless bastard." Someone couldn't help but spit and turn away.
The others shook their heads and left one after another.
In the end, only Grandma Qin, the old headmaster, and young Qin Shi remained.
Xing Zhaozhao turned to Chen Hao and asked, "What about Chen Dachuan?"
Chen Hao silently looked at Xing Zhaozhao for a moment and said, "This case has nothing to do with Da Chuan. He was also innocently implicated by Lin Wan. There is no evidence to show that he was involved. He will be released soon."
Xing Zhaozhao's pupils contracted as she looked at Chen Hao with disbelief, saying, "Innocent? That's impossible." If Chen Dachuan were innocent, she would rip her head off and give it to him as a stool.
"Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth. The investigators have done everything they can to thoroughly investigate Da Chuan, and they found no evidence. He is innocent," Chen Hao said.
Xing Zhaozhao frowned deeply and asked, "Where is Lin Wan? Didn't Lin Wan say anything?"
“Lin Wan said it,” Chen Hao said, looking at Xing Zhaozhao. “After Lin Wan’s testimony, it was confirmed that Da Chuan is innocent. She kept all those things from Da Chuan. Da Chuan knew nothing about them and could not possibly have been involved.”
Xing Zhaozhao snorted disdainfully and said, "A man who collects scrap everywhere and has the ability and opportunity to participate in finding targets is innocent, but a woman who usually stays at home and doesn't leave the house can be so shrewd as to participate in the entire trafficking process and keep it a secret from her husband. Do you believe that?"
Chen Hao shook his head and said, "Whether I believe it or not is not up to me to decide, but up to the evidence."
Xing Zhaozhao looked at Chen Hao, her eyes narrowing slightly, and said, "You're the one who stirred things up inside, aren't you? Mingcheng said that in this kind of situation, only you in your Chen family could probably handle it. But I didn't expect it to be this way. Helping a beast get away, do you have a clear conscience? Do you have a clear conscience about the uniform you wear?"
"Gao Mingcheng?" Chen Hao frowned, looking at Xing Zhaozhao with a puzzled expression. "Hasn't Gao Mingcheng still not been found? When did he say this to you?"
Oops, I let it slip.
Xing Zhaozhao's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show any unusual expression on her face. She said, "I don't even know when that happened. How could I remember?"
Chen Hao stared at her for a moment, but didn't notice anything unusual, so he stopped bothering her.
“I didn’t expect Gao Mingcheng to say that about me. Thank you for the compliment. However, this case has already alarmed your province. No matter how capable I am, I can’t do anything under the watchful eyes of so many police officers. You may not trust me, but you shouldn’t distrust them,” Chen Hao said.
Xing Zhaozhao snorted coldly and said, "Say whatever you want. However, since your Chen family is willing to use your own reputation to vouch for Chen Dachuan, you'd better pray that he will never do anything wrong again. Otherwise, your Chen family will be in deep trouble."
After saying that, Xing Zhaozhao went over to help Old Madam Qin and left.
As Chen Hao watched Xing Zhaozhao leave, a glint of light flashed in his slightly narrowed eyes.
"I have something else to give you," he suddenly said.
"No need." Xing Zhaozhao refused without even thinking, she didn't care.
"Jia Shu and Jia Ping gave these to your two sons," Chen Hao said.
Xing Zhaozhao suddenly stopped in her tracks: "..." This is indeed something we can't do without.
