"And I don't dare take the money from your family. Who knows where this dirty money came from? I have dirty hands on it."
"You are like this now simply because your family's greatest support is gone, and your luxurious life is about to become a bubble. You are doing this just to continue to live this kind of life."
"There's nothing much to talk about between us. My upbringing doesn't allow me to do anything for you, so while I can still speak properly, you should go."
"No matter what the final outcome is, it's what he deserves. It's what your family deserves, too."
Luo Zisen said regretfully, "Is it because of Xia Qingqing that you didn't help our family? I know I helped her deal with you before, and that was wrong. Now I know I was wrong."
"Also, we have already cancelled the marriage between the two families. We have nothing to do with them anymore. Please help us."
Xia Jin smiled and shook his head and said, "Why don't you understand? I'm not helping you because your father did something wrong. It has nothing to do with anyone else."
"Your father killed a person, and another person was paralyzed by your father. You can't be unaware of this. Their lives were ruined by your father."
"How dare you come and beg me to let him go? If I really let him out, it would be too unfair to those people."
"Ajing, I'll leave this to you. If they don't leave, throw them out."
After saying this, Xia Jin turned around and prepared to go back to her room. Luo's mother saw that she wanted to leave and wanted to grab her and stop her, but was stopped by Gu Jingmo.
Grabbing his outstretched hand, she said sternly, "What do you want to do? My Ah Jin has made it very clear to you. Don't be ungrateful."
"While I'm not angry yet, get out of here immediately, or I'll send you inside to keep your husband company."
"Ajin can't help you with this matter, and County Magistrate Tian can't help you either. No matter how many people you ask, the result will remain the same."
After saying that, he shook off her hand. Seeing that they were still not leaving, he picked them up and threw them out. He watched them fall to the ground indifferently without caring and closed the door.
When she threw them away, she said that if they dared to knock on the door again, she would send them to the police station to keep her husband company.
After closing the door and returning to the house, Xia Jin looked at her and asked, "It's done. Find someone to keep an eye on their house. They might run away."
"It was okay if they didn't know the news before, but I let it slip just now. They should have realized by now that Mr. Luo can't get out, so the next step is probably to run away with the money."
"If they run away, the money he embezzled will be lost, and the compensation given to the victims will be lost. This is unacceptable. Why should they suffer so much while their family enjoys a good life?"
"Got it. I'll tell the director right away. You have to come with me. I'm worried about you being alone at home. We'll go after they leave."
"OK."

The mother and son of the Luo family returned home and looked at the earnest eyes of Luo's grandparents. Luo Zisen shook his head reluctantly, indicating that the matter had not been done.
Seeing them shaking their heads, they knew what was going on. Grandma Luo collapsed on the sofa and asked in a hoarse voice: "Is there really no other way? Can we give her money?"
"No, grandma, they seem to know about that, so no matter how much money we give, it's useless."
"Besides, if it turns out to be true, all our money will be confiscated."
Grandma Luo trembled and said, "It's about the murder. Didn't you say that this matter would not be discovered? How did they know? Tell me, it's all your fault that my son is like this."
"And my grandson, he was in such a prime of his life, but you ruined him. He could have gone to college and brought honor to the family, but now everything is ruined."
"My poor son, why do you have such a miserable life?"
Looking at her mother-in-law who was gasping for breath, Luo's mother wiped the tears from her face and said, "Mom, this matter has come to this. There is no point in crying anymore."
"Even though he's in trouble, how can we minimize the consequences? Do you know that if he's sentenced, all our belongings will be confiscated?"
"Zi Sen is still young. How will he live when the time comes? You know, he is Lao Luo's only son. If he really has nothing left, how will he survive?"
Grandpa Luo thought for a moment and said, "Pack up your things and leave immediately to avoid the limelight. I remember there's a distant cousin in Lin County. I'll write her a letter and you can take it with you."
"Take the money and everything, but as agreed, this money is for our grandchildren, so don't take it for yourself. I'll come back to see you later. When this is over, don't do anything tricky, okay?"
Luo's mother nodded and said, "Then I'll leave some for you. Maybe when things turn around, you can find someone to smooth things over."
"You don't have to take everything with you. We have some savings, which will be enough for the time being. Right now, Zisen is the most important."
"No, I don't agree. How can you let him take Zisen away, old man? What if she treats our grandson badly?"
"And she should have stayed here and shared the hardships with the second son. Why should my son be dying while she's still alive and well? I don't agree with this."
Grandpa Luo said angrily: "You have to agree even if you don't agree. Zisen is the second brother's only child. Have you ever thought about telling everyone about this matter in the end?"
"How will he live here then? The newspapers will be full of his second son's affairs. Not to mention going to school, I'm afraid he won't even have the chance to go out."
"After all, such a big thing hasn't happened here for a long time. If that happens, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get a job at the site, and I'll even be labeled a petty murderer."
"You know how difficult his situation will be then. In a family where he has grown up, the second son's family has never been poor. If these monies are taken away, what will happen to our grandson?"
"He has never worried about making a living since he was a child. How will he make a living when the time comes? He might not even be hired for odd jobs."
