Li Weidong immediately called the police.
Xing Guodong personally led a team and rushed over overnight.
"This is outrageous!"
His face was ashen: "Someone actually dared to set fire to your house! This is murder!"
"Brother Weidong, don't worry, I'll find the person and get justice for you!"
Li Weidong nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble you."
He hadn't taken Tiger seriously at first, thinking that the kid must have learned his lesson after suffering so many losses.
But this arson completely enraged him.
He dared not imagine what the consequences would have been if he hadn't stayed up all night, or if he hadn't discovered the fire.
If the fire gets bigger and out of control, what awaits him might be the destruction of his family and the loss of his life!
Li Weidong became increasingly angry and made up his mind that he would never let Hu Zi go this time, no matter what.
But just when Xing Guodong was about to make progress in his investigation, Wang Dahua stepped forward.
"I started the fire."
Wang Dahua, who was always arrogant and domineering, was now disheveled, pale, and listless.
Zhao Xiulian was both angry and anxious: "Why! Wang Dahua, even if our families have fallen out, we're still relatives by blood. Do you hate us that much?"
"Yes, I wish you were all dead!"
The hatred in Wang Dahua's eyes was clearly visible: "Why is it that your family's life is getting better and better, while my family doesn't even have a house to live in?"
"Why is it that your little bastard is doing so well while my son is treated like a rat in the street?"
"I hate you all! Why didn't that fire last night burn you to death?!"
Unable to bear the blow, Zhao Xiulian swayed and leaned against Li Weidong.
Li Weidong stared coldly at Wang Dahua: "Did you really start the fire?"
"Yes, it's me!"
Wang Dahua said firmly, "Arrest me if you want!"
The people around immediately started talking about it.
"Something feels off about this."
"Wang Dahua is a bit annoying, but she doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do something like this!"
"The police haven't even found anything yet, and she's already run away. To me, it looks like she's taking the blame for someone else!"
"Is that even a question? Anyone with a brain knows that Tiger started the fire. She, as his mother, only came out because she didn't want her son to go to jail, since the police were going to find out."
Opinions vary.
Xing Guodong's face suddenly darkened as he stared at Wang Dahua: "You'd better think this through. Arson and attempted murder can land you in jail!"
"If you didn't do it, don't make things up..."
"I started the fire!"
Wang Dahua interrupted him impatiently, then glared fiercely at the others: "What nonsense are you talking about? What does this fire have to do with Hu Zi!"
"It was because I couldn't stand Zhao Xiulian and Li Weidong that I came over in the middle of the night and tried to burn them to death. Don't drag my son into this!"
By the end, a hint of panic had crept into his eyes.
After all, it was indeed Tiger who started the fire yesterday.
She didn't know at first, until she heard the police sirens, Tiger panicked and told her what had happened, and that's when she found out.
At that moment, she wished she could beat Tiger to death. He had caused such a big trouble, and if the police took him away, he would really go to jail!
Despite her hatred, she couldn't abandon her own son, so she came up with the idea of taking the blame.
Now that everyone is doubting her, she is naturally anxious.
Thinking of this, Wang Dahua gritted her teeth and, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, rushed straight to Li Weidong's house.
Then he pulled out a matchbox and actually tried to set it on fire again in front of so many people!
Xing Guodong wasn't about to let her succeed, and kicked her directly.
Wang Dahua fell to the ground, but then laughed: "See? I started the fire. They didn't die, so I wish I could start another fire."
Several police officers rushed forward and subdued her.
Zhao Xiulian was incredulous: "You're insane...you must be insane!"
Wang Dahua cried and laughed at the same time: "Yes, I'm crazy. If it weren't for your family, how could my family have ended up like this?"
"You and your son deserve to die!"
In the end, the hatred in his words was chilling.
Li Weidong remained silent.
Only then did he sigh: "Since that's how it is, then I won't consider family ties anymore."
He looked at Xing Guodong: "Captain Xing, what is the sentence for arson and premeditated murder?"
Xing Guodong said directly, "Generally, it's three to seven years in prison, depending on the specific circumstances."
"Alright, take them away!"
Li Weidong waved his hand: "Handle it however you need to."
After saying that, he added, "Under no circumstances will I accept a settlement."
It's time for Tiger to pay the price.
Xing Guodong nodded and immediately took out handcuffs and handcuffed Wang Dahua.
It wasn't until the cold handcuffs were placed on her wrists that Wang Dahua seemed to wake up from her dream.
She collapsed to the ground, her body going limp, her eyes filled with deep despair and fear.
Li Weidong walked slowly to her, bent down and stared into her eyes, and said, word by word, "Aunt, for the sake of our kinship, I'll give you a piece of advice."
"Spoiling a child is like killing him!"
He slowly asked, "Did you really start the fire last night?"
Wang Dahua stared at him blankly, then suddenly spat out, "Yes, I put it there, so what?"
"What do you mean by spoiling a child as if killing him? How I raise my son is none of your business! Just you wait and see!"
"Li Weidong, someone like you will get your comeuppance sooner or later. Just wait and see!"
Li Weidong had completely lost his patience. He straightened up and said to Xing Guodong, "In that case, take the person back!"
Xing Guodong nodded: "Okay, then I'll take her back. Anyway, she's already confessed, and the verdict will be handed down soon."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wang Dahua was escorted into a police car.
She didn't have a good reputation in the village, and Tiger's shady dealings only made everyone hate her. Now that she's been arrested, everyone is clapping and cheering.
"Like mother, like son. Serves him right!"
"If you ask me, Hu Zi definitely started the fire. Wang Da Hua is taking the blame for her son!"
“I saw through Tiger a long time ago. He’s a troublemaker who’s always hanging out with thugs. He was bound to get into trouble sooner or later. And look, he’s sent his mother to jail.”
"If I didn't raise my son well, who can I blame?"
"Actually, if we send Tiger to jail for a few years, he might turn out for the better. Why does she have to come out and take the blame? What if Tiger kills someone in the future? Will she take the blame then too?"
"She spoiled her own son, so she's happy with it. We outsiders can just watch the show."
For a time, everyone was gloating.
Hearing these words, Wang Dahua lost all her previous arrogance, her face turned ashen, but her eyes were still looking outside.
Just then, Tiger suddenly appeared...
