Wang Laifu wondered what kind of thief could have emptied his house without him noticing. Looking at the large red characters on the wall, he felt uneasy.
Over the years, he himself has been involved in countless raids on homes. Most of the wealthy landlords and merchants in the town were demoted after their homes were raided by him.
He even devised schemes to frame innocent families in order to confiscate their property. More than half of what was seized went into his own pocket.
Now that those account books and record books are missing, he can't report a burglary to the police. What should he say to the police if he reports something missing? If he tells them about the missing items, he's essentially handing himself over to them, providing evidence for them to investigate.
Wang Laifu now only hoped that the thieves were illiterate and would destroy the account books and records. Or perhaps they would use the account books to demand money from him. He was considering either packing his things and running away, or waiting to see how things would develop.
Wang Laifu was filled with anxiety, while Su Xingran remained calm. Early in the morning, when the police station was open for business, Huang Tai'an sent men to Sujia Village to take the Su family members into custody.
When the police came to their door, the Su family was completely stunned. They weren't there when the incident happened yesterday and had no idea how it would end.
After being taken to the police station, the Su family members, still in a daze, finally came to their senses. "Officer, what did we do? Why are you arresting us?" the eldest Su asked the police in a panic.
"Don't you know what you've done? Don't you know why we're arresting you? Just stay put, someone will come and interrogate you."
After the police left, only the Su family remained in the room, except for Old Man Su, who was bedridden and unable to take care of himself.
"What should we do? How did we get arrested?" This was the first time in her life that Old Mrs. Su had been taken to the police station, and she was so anxious that she almost cried.
Because he had been arrested before, Su Wenxing wasn't as panicked as the rest of the Su family. He wondered if their arrest was because of Wang Shao's affair.
But considering that Wang Shao's father was the director of the Party Committee, Su Wenxing thought it was unlikely. If that were the case, it would be his second uncle's family that would be arrested.
Su Wenxing continued lost in thought until the police came to question him. Only then did he come to his senses and realize that his thoughts were not reality.
Just when the Su family was getting anxious, like ants on a hot pan, the police who were interrogating them finally arrived.
"Quiet down. Now I'll ask you questions, and you answer them." The two policemen who arrived were both personnel who had participated in the capture of the enemy deep in the mountains of Sujia Village. They recognized Su Xingran and were furious that these people dared to betray her.
Faced with the stern-looking police officers, the Su family members immediately fell silent, afraid that making a sound would anger them.
"Su Zhengde, Li Ermei, you and Wang Haibo committed the trafficking of the underage girl Su Xingran. The evidence is conclusive. What do you have to say?"
Upon hearing her own name, her husband's name, and the names of Wang Haibo and Su Xingran, Old Mrs. Su panicked completely. It was because of this that her whole family had been arrested.
"Officer... Officer, my husband and I didn't... we didn't sell Su Xingran. She's my granddaughter, and Wang Haibo is our granddaughter's husband." Old Mrs. Su stammered in fear.
