Chen Balang was speechless for a moment, unable to refute.
Chen Shicai continued, "What exactly is he suffering from? Standing on the city wall, looking at the distant scenery, and whining about it without any real cause? Father, what are you thinking?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Chen Balang immediately interrupted him: "How dare you make up stories about the Crown Prince? Are you out of your mind!"
"What are you afraid of!" Chen Shicai raised his voice and shouted, "Didn't they say the Xu family loves the people like their own children? They're not doing so well these days, so what's wrong with venting a few complaints! Do they want to arrest me?"
Bang--
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was kicked open.
A gust of cold wind swept in, and three officers with gloomy faces and fierce expressions entered from outside.
The father and son were startled and before they could reply, one of them stepped forward and placed a hand on Chen Shicai's shoulder.
Ah~
With a cry of pain, Chen Shicai's shoulder was still dislocated by the force of the pressure.
"What did you just say? Say it again."
The chilling words rang in Chen Shicai's ears, even colder than the freezing winter of December.
Chen Balang hurriedly stood up and said ingratiatingly, "Gentlemen, you must have misheard, we didn't..."
"I wasn't talking to you, so shut up!"
The officer didn't even glance at Chen Balang, continuing to stare intently at Chen Shicai with his sinister eyes.
"I'm asking you, what did you say about the Crown Prince?"
Chen Shicai grimaced in pain, but faced with the officer's interrogation, he remained unyielding and said, "I'll talk..."
"What's so miserable about the prince? He's starving and destitute, even homeless... Compared to them, we are the ones who are truly miserable!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Balang's face turned ashen.
Upon hearing this, the officer sneered, "Very well, you have a lot of guts. Then come with us to Lord Deng's place to continue the discussion in detail."
After saying that, he punched Chen Shicai unconscious.
"take away!"
At a command, another officer picked up Chen Shicai and carried him away.
"Sir, I..."
Chen Balang tried to stop him, but the officer pointed at him and said fiercely, "Chen Balang, I know you. If you don't want anything to happen to your parents, keep this to yourself."
If I hear even the slightest hint of trouble, you know what Deng Xiaoping's methods are, understand?
"But I only have one son!"
"Can your son's life be compared to that of the Crown Prince?"
Leaving behind a single sentence, the group departed from the Chen and Ba families without looking back.
Watching the figure disappear into the wind and snow, Chen Ba felt all his strength drain away and collapsed to the ground.
"My son..."
He struggled to suppress his roar, letting out a low growl.
