Granny Qin retorted, "Yes, go ahead and report it to the police, we're not afraid."
Hearing Zhou Derong's words, Madam Sheng knew that the other party had hidden the passbook in a safe place, the kind that couldn't be found even after searching the entire Qin family. As long as she refused to admit it, the Sheng family would be powerless to do anything about it. "Mom and Dad, actually, I lost the passbook by accident. I was afraid you would hold it against me, so I said I gave it to Derong's family for safekeeping. This has nothing to do with the Qin family. They are implicated because of me..."
Qin Feifei still held onto a glimmer of hope. In fact, not only had her family secretly embezzled the Sheng family's savings account without her grandparents' knowledge, but they had also secretly withdrawn some money behind Madam Sheng's back. They were simply too short on cash lately and had too many expenses and favors to make.
The place where the biological mother was hidden was quite well concealed; no one but members of their family should be able to find her.
Zhou Derong was somewhat enraged by the Sheng family's public rejection of her engagement, and said sarcastically, "Even if you're going to report it to the police, you should find someone unrelated to the five powerful families. Everyone knows that Director Cheng is from your Cheng family, and Sheng Hantao is from your Sheng family. It would be unfair to let you search their homes..."
She said that simply to dissuade them and, incidentally, to get back at them.
Sheng Hantao's face was solemn. "Do you think we would be like the Pigeon Tail Society, falsely accusing others for no reason? We would never stoop to such unethical behavior."
Granny Qin has really gotten too big for her britches, mainly because she's been spoiled by Madam Sheng and has become fearless and lawless. "Who knows? After all, you've even gone so far as to break off an engagement!"
Sheng Chuxuan was disgusted by the other party's attitude. "You are really shameless. The bankbook is clearly in your house, but you still deny it."
Fu Jingchen turned his head and exchanged a glance with his partner. "If that's what she says, then there's nothing we can do."
Zhou Derong and Granny Qin were secretly delighted; they had finally turned the tables and salvaged some of their reputation.
Little did they know, Gu Wanwan's next words immediately broke the defenses of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law: "Then we have no choice but to ask the special department to intervene. They are fair, impartial, and incorruptible. They will not give face to any of the powerful families. I often report to the special department, so I am very familiar with the process. I also know some of the people in the special department. Last time, I wiped out Old Zhao's daughter's in-laws."
"Maybe I can do something great again, I'm really looking forward to it."
“Wife, what are you waiting for? Let’s hurry up and report it. Maybe we can dig up something suspicious from under the Qin family’s house. Think carefully about why you two are trying so hard to stop us. You must have something to hide.” Fu Jingchen raised an eyebrow and revealed to others intentionally or unintentionally, “It is said that the special department has all kinds of advanced equipment. They can find things with one shot. No matter how well they are hidden, it’s useless.”
Gu Wanwan nodded excitedly, "We need to go to the bank to investigate again to see if anyone has fraudulently withdrawn money. Qin Feifei's family is extravagant; I don't believe they haven't touched the passbook."
“If the bank employee is a relative of the Qin family, that would be even easier. We can just invite her to a special department for a chat. They can find out everything about her ancestors, and it will be done immediately. Special departments are extremely efficient. We can send them our performance reports.”
"Hopefully, the Qin family can keep up their stubbornness."
The twins clapped their chubby little hands excitedly, "Big sister and brother-in-law are awesome! Let's go report them and we can make some extra money!"
Brother Chen patted the baby's head, spoiling him as always, "When we get the bonus, we'll buy the baby snacks and toys."
That sounds like they often get rewarded for reporting others.
Zhou Derong's face turned pale. She thought she had stopped the Sheng family from reporting the case, but she didn't expect that something even more serious was waiting for her.
