The two police officers parted the dry grass in the dog kennel.
The soil under the doghouse was a strange color, as if it had been disturbed.
The two exchanged a glance; there was a chance!
In order not to damage the notice, the police officers found a wooden stick and began to dig away the soil bit by bit.
Each blow felt like a stab to Liu Xiangqian's heart.
He was utterly despondent and seemed to age ten years in an instant.
Unfortunately, his son Liu Wenbin and his wife still haven't realized that he's doing something wrong.
He kept chatting with the villagers who were watching, telling them about his grievances.
They seemed certain that they would find nothing today.
After searching the house inside and out, they still couldn't find any notice.
They were already celebrating their victory ahead of time.
soon.
Things from underground were unearthed.
A small wooden box contained the missing notification letter.
To make it waterproof, Liu Xiangqian thoughtfully wrapped it in three layers of plastic bags.
In that instant, under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Liu Wenbin was dumbfounded.
(I can't admit it, I can't go to jail, Dad, I'm sorry.)
"Impossible, how could we have this in our house? Someone must have framed us."
Yes, it must be the postman and Liu Yihang who conspired to harm us!
"Officer, I don't know, I really don't know!"
His acting skills were superb; if Liu Yihang hadn't overheard his inner thoughts, he might have actually been fooled.
What a fine son of Liu Xiangqian! He immediately tries to distance himself from the situation.
Betrayed by his own son, Liu Xiangqian must be heartbroken.
Liu Xiangqian knew his son very well, and after hearing his words, he understood perfectly well.
He's trying to make himself, as the father, bear the blame so that it won't affect him.
(Well, it's better for one person to bear it than for both of them to get involved.)
"I'd hurt you? I have no past grudges or recent feuds with you. You're just asking for trouble."
You two, father and son, have really caused me a lot of trouble. You hid someone else's college acceptance letter and acted like nothing happened.
"If it weren't for the sharp eyes of the police officers, you would have almost gotten away with it." Chen Hua was so angry at Liu Wenbin's words that he jumped up and down.
This is truly an undeserved disaster.
"Framed? If an outsider digs a hole under your doghouse to hide something, wouldn't your dog bark?"
Secretary Liu just vehemently denied ever seeing my notice, yet here I am in your doghouse.
They've wrapped it so well; it doesn't look like they're going to destroy my acceptance letter, but rather like they're carefully preserving it. Are they planning to have Liu Wenbin go to school in my place?
Liu Yihang directly tore off their fig leaf.
"Officer, we really don't know anything! We're innocent, we don't know anything at all," Liu Xiangqian's wife pleaded.
The crowd erupted in cheers.
"That makes sense! It's useless for them to keep other people's notices, so why is Secretary Liu accepting them so readily?"
"They definitely wanted Liu Wenbin to impersonate them, since the two of them grew up together."
"Good heavens, that damned Liu Xiangqian! I thought he was innocent."
"This family conspired to take someone else's university spot. Shameless! Pah!"
…
"I didn't, I didn't!" Liu Wenbin kept shouting, feigning madness.
Liu Xiangqian knew that this matter could not be resolved peacefully today. He sighed, stepped forward, and said, "Officer, one should take responsibility for one's actions. I admit that I did this."
I was jealous of Liu Xiangdong's son's success in getting into such a good university, so I secretly hid the admission notice.
I did this all by myself; it has nothing to do with my wife and son, and they don't know anything about it.
"Take me away."
Liu Xiangqian confessed to his crimes, and the two officers took out handcuffs and handcuffed him.
Liu Yihang remembered Liu Sanlai, the time bomb.
"You instigated Liu San, didn't you? He blocked me from returning to the village several times, afraid I would discover your plot?"
Liu Xiangqian vehemently denied it: "I didn't do it! I only did something foolish out of jealousy, there was no conspiracy involved."
Liu Xiangqian was quite clear about the difference between a spur-of-the-moment decision and a premeditated plan.
(I hope Liu San doesn't mess things up! Liu Xiangdong, you and your son will never get ahead of me.)
"System task issued: Resolve potential hidden dangers Liu San."
Quest Reward: One Unlucky Charm.
A bad luck charm? This system is getting more and more interesting.
The two officers were about to take Liu Xiangqian back to the police station.
Although they understood that Liu Xiangqian and his son Liu Wenbin were in cahoots.
However, upon closer examination, there is no direct evidence to prove Liu Wenbin's guilt, and Liu Xiangqian is also trying his best to distance himself from his son.
Liu Yihang also knew that he couldn't get rid of Liu Wenbin today.
But this suited him just fine.
One game of cat and mouse is never enough.
Even if we send Liu Wenbin to jail, he'll only get two years at most for this crime, which is pointless and too lenient on him.
Having dealt with Liu Xiangqian, we've managed to recoup some of our gains; we'll keep Liu Wenbin for later.
This was a good deal.
Taking advantage of everyone's distraction, Liu Yihang whispered in Liu Wenbin's ear, "It's not a pleasant feeling to have your hopes dashed, is it? You'll be even more desperate in the future."
"You think you're worthy to take my things?"
Liu Wenbin pretended to be harmless: "Yihang, you've misunderstood. I really didn't know my dad would do this. I apologize to you on his behalf."
(Ah! Ah! Liu Yihang, the humiliation I suffered today will be repaid to you tenfold in the future!)
Liu Yihang patted him on the shoulder: "We'll have a long road ahead of us!"
