The authorities are currently investigating the Tong family. Although Brother Tong is not a direct descendant of the Tong family, he still shares the surname Tong, and besides, he was greedy for money.
It was only right that they were arrested.
Several of Brother Tong's men were also arrested, and Song Guomin was just one of them.
Xu Guiying first went to the bank to inquire. The staff said it was just a routine check, and as long as Song Guomin didn't commit any crimes, it wouldn't have much of an impact. At most, he would be released tomorrow.
Xu Guiying breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although the eldest brother is a real penny-pincher, he has never done anything shady.
When Xu Guiying rushed back to Heping Lane, Song Xinfu was already at home, and his siblings were extremely anxious.
Although we had a fight yesterday, we are bound by blood ties and cannot just let our eldest brother be arrested.
Liu Aimei sat in the main room crying, "I was arrested at noon, and it's already evening and I still haven't been released. It's so cold in the police station at night, I'm sure I'll catch a cold."
The fifth brother, Song Jianmin, also rushed back. He tried to minimize his presence by sitting by the door.
Song Rongrong and Song Yingying also frowned and remained silent. That evening, the fifth brother took the initiative to cook dinner. He observed his parents' expressions but did not reveal any intention to send him away.
The fifth brother breathed a sigh of relief.
After finishing her meal, Xu Guiying still felt uneasy, so she went to the police station with Song Xinfu.
The police station is located to the north, not far from Song Guomin Bank.
As soon as they arrived, they saw that Song Guomin's colleagues had been released.
"Hello, we are Song Guomin's parents. Why didn't he come out?" Xu Guiying asked politely, her brow furrowed.
Several people raised their eyebrows, their expressions meaningful.
“Song Guomin bought Brother Tong’s house, and now we need to investigate.”
Song Xinfu immediately realized what was happening.
Brother Tong is under investigation, and he has financial dealings with Song Guomin. It would be strange if Song Guomin wasn't investigated!
Xu Guiying stood frozen in place, exchanging a glance with the old man; neither of them had a good expression.
That unlucky little bastard, he's always causing trouble!
There's no way he'll be released tonight.
Waiting at the police station wasn't going to do anything, so the elderly couple went back to Heping Lane.
Upon hearing her in-laws' words, Liu Aimei burst into tears, saying, "If only I hadn't bought that house, none of this would have happened."
Xu Guiying: "The purchase is already made, there's no use saying these things now, so don't give hindsight advice."
Liu Aimei dared not speak. Her parents-in-law were the pillars of the family, and it was impossible for Liu Aimei to pull strings and get them out on her own.
Song Yingying returned to her room with a worried expression.
Song Rongrong was already in bed.
"Yingying, you have school tomorrow, go to sleep now."
These past few days, Song Yingying has been doing homework and reading every day after school to catch up on her studies, resulting in dark circles under her eyes.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Song Yingying said, "Fourth Sister, if I had told Big Brother about the Tong family earlier, he wouldn't have bought that house, and he wouldn't have been arrested."
Song Rongrong widened her eyes, "What does this have to do with you? You were the victim when you were beaten. It's because Song Guomin didn't understand the situation clearly. Besides, the way he tried to please the leaders was not the right way to do it."
Song Yingying lowered her head and remained silent.
Song Rongrong exclaimed, "Song Yingying, I'm your older sister! You have to listen to me. If you keep thinking nonsense, I'll get angry!"
Song Rongrong quickly wiped away her tears. "Sister, I won't say anything more."
Song Rongrong went back to her small bed and slept soundly. She covered herself with the blanket and planned to go to school tomorrow to ask Qin Zheng for some information.
During the few days she was at school, Qin Zheng or Qin Baohua would go to the small garden behind the teaching building to bring Song Yingying food to help her recover.
The next morning, the Song family made a move very early.
Song Xinfu and Xu Guiying both took the day off. Xu Guiying went to wait for news outside the police station, while Song Xinfu went to stake out his boss's bank.
Song Rongrong and Song Yingying were going to school on the same route, so the two sisters heated up some steamed buns at home before setting off for school together.
As soon as Song Yingying arrived at school, she ran to Qin Zheng's classroom.
Everyone in Qin Zheng's classroom knows Song Yingying now. Qin Zheng tells others that Song Yingying is his relative's younger sister.
"Qin Zheng didn't come this morning, I think he took the day off, he should be here this afternoon."
Song Yingying nodded. "Thank you, I understand."
Song Yingying returned to the classroom dejectedly. When noon finally arrived, she went to the small garden again.
Qin Zheng is already here.
Several dishes were laid out on the stone table, all brought by Qin Baohua in a thermos.
Qin Zheng: "Song Yingying, come and eat."
Song Yingying still had a scar on her forehead. When she ran over, her bangs were blown up, and her face looked exactly like Qin Zheng's younger sister when she was a child.
If my younger sister grows up, she'll probably look a lot like Song Yingying.
Song Yingying stood by the table, fidgeting with her hands, her eyes filled with tension.
Qin Zheng: "Do you have something to say? Let's talk after we finish eating."
Qin Baohua also told Song Yingying to eat first.
Song Yingying felt she had really let Qin Zheng down.
Qin Zheng not only saved her, but also brought her food every day and tutored her. Now she wants Qin Zheng to help her ask about her older brother.
Qin Zheng said impatiently, "Speak."
Song Yingying said in a dry voice, "Qin Zheng, my older brother has been arrested. Can you help me ask him about it? I will repay you, I will definitely repay you!"
Qin Zheng frowned slightly and asked Song Yingying to finish explaining the situation.
After a moment, Qin Zheng looked at Qin Baohua and said, "Go and ask him."
"Yes, young master."
Qin Zheng: "Dinner is ready."
Song Yingying sat down to eat. She had no appetite, but Qin Zheng didn't say a word. Song Yingying could clearly sense that he was angry, so she ate the rest of her rice in big mouthfuls.
After finishing her meal, Song Yingying took the initiative to clean up her lunchbox.
Qin Zheng told her to go back to class, and that he would probably hear from her in the afternoon.
Song Yingying smiled and said, "I understand! Thank you!"
Song Yingying turned and headed towards the teaching building.
In the afternoon, Qin Zheng waited for Song Yingying outside the classroom after school, saying, "I'll take you home."
Song Yingying quickly waved her hand, "I can go back by myself, it's only a half-hour walk."
Qin Zheng felt that Song Yingying was wasting time, "Hurry up, I don't want to say it a second time."
Seeing Qin Zheng's frightening expression, Song Yingying had no choice but to carry her schoolbag and follow behind him.
The car drove to the outside of Heping Lane, and Qin Zheng insisted on taking Song Yingying inside.
Before even reaching the Song family home, they could hear Song Guomin's voice.
Song Yingying was overjoyed, "Big brother is back!"
"Qin Zheng, thank you!"
But the next moment, Song Guomin's voice came.
"Song Yingying is a scourge; she must be sent away!"
Song Yingying felt a chill run through her body and froze on the spot, unable to move.
