The police officer's words were like a boulder thrown into a lake, instantly causing an uproar in the Zhou family. Old Master Zhou was so angry that his hands and feet trembled, and the faces of the rest of the Zhou family were also very grim.
"How could this be? How could my Siyun do such a thing? You must have made a mistake in your investigation. My Siyun is very well-behaved." A shrill voice rang out, and the owner of the voice was Du Shulan, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family.
“Mrs. Zhou, we came to arrest you because we have evidence. Please cooperate with our work and bring Zhou Siyun out.” The older policeman said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Lin Ma, go and wake Siyun up, tell her to come to the living room." Old Master Zhou suppressed his anger, knowing that without evidence, the police wouldn't come so early in the morning.
"Dad, do you not believe Siyun, but believe the nonsense these two policemen are spouting?" Du Shulan looked incredulous, wondering if Old Master Zhou was getting senile.
Old Master Zhou didn't want to deal with his brainless eldest daughter-in-law right now. He wanted to wait for Zhou Siyun to come out and see what the truth was.
Lin Ma walked to the door of Zhou Siyun's room on the second floor and knocked. "Miss Siyun, please get up quickly. Old Master Zhou wants you to come down to the living room."
Zhou Siyun, who was sleeping in her room, was very annoyed when she heard the voice. She wanted to curse, but when she heard that it was her grandfather calling her, she suppressed her anger and replied, "I know, I'll go downstairs after I change my clothes."
Not long after Lin's mother came down, Zhou Siyun lazily walked down the stairs. Even before she reached the bottom of the stairs, Zhou Siyun started talking. "Grandpa, why did you call me down? I wanted to sleep in today, it's Sunday."
Grandpa Zhou didn't reply, and the others, seeing his dark face, didn't dare to say anything more. Only Du Shulan ignored them, saying, "Siyun, someone has framed you, saying you ordered someone to commit the crime."
Zhou Siyun had just put her foot down the last step of the stairs when she heard her mother's words, and her heart skipped a beat. She looked up at the living room, where her family members were standing, along with two uniformed police officers.
Zhou Siyun forced herself to walk over, her heart pounding with anxiety with every step. She wasn't worried about being discovered—her mother would handle it—but rather about the sight of her grandfather's dark, brooding face.
“Zhou Siyun, someone has testified that you hired thugs to kidnap two female students from Peking University. We have investigated and collected evidence that you did indeed pay thugs to kidnap the two female students and instructed them to humiliate them after kidnapping them.”
"Fortunately, the two female students were able to protect themselves, and those thugs were caught on the spot. The evidence is conclusive, so please come with us to the police station to cooperate with our work."
“I didn’t do it, I’m not going to the police station, you can’t wrong me.” Zhou Siyun stepped back and hid behind Du Shulan.
Du Shulan spread her arms to block them, saying, "None of you are going to take my Siyun away. She has said that she did not do it. You are just trying to frame her."
The older policeman took a deep breath. Everyone in Beijing knew that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family was unreasonable; she was clearly a noblewoman but a shrew from the streets.
“Mr. Zhou, we must take Zhou Siyun away today. The victims are from the Huang and Gu families. We hope your Zhou family will not make things difficult for us junior police officers.”
When Grandpa Zhou and the Zhou family heard that it was the Huang family and the Gu family, they thought that Zhou Siyun was simply trying to catch lice on a tiger's head, and was courting death.
