Chapter 425: House Confiscation
425
Director Zhao sat at his desk, his expression like the gloomy sky before a storm, uncertain. The words and actions of that mysterious "calm man" haunted his mind like a ghost, nagging and disturbing him.
This person exudes an indescribable aura. You can tell at a glance that he is very skilled. His style of doing things is bold and direct, and he does not hide his intentions at all.
Director Zhao knew that if the other party tried to trip him up secretly, he might be able to maneuver around them or even trip him up thanks to the influence of the Red Soldier Society in Kyoto.
But now that they were making such a demand, so forceful and open, he really didn't dare act rashly. After weighing the pros and cons, he gritted his teeth and thought to himself, it's not a matter of life and death anyway, I'll just go and deal with it.
He just hoped that those three companies didn't have any important backgrounds. When he saw the three locations left by Tang Yue and the names on the paper, Director Zhao smiled.
So this is the family. He had some impression of them. Ke Dazhi was a well-known figure, but he hadn't expected his three sons to be so arrogant when they were arrested. He didn't feel any burden about arresting such a person.
The next morning, just as the sky was beginning to turn pale, Director Zhao personally led a group of Red Army soldiers, like a surging black tide, towards the homes of Liu Ting's three sons. Their first stop was Ke Qiang's country.
The Ke Qiangguo family was still deep in a sweet dream, completely unaware of the impending storm.
Suddenly, a rapid and rough knock on the door, like a thunderclap, ruthlessly shattered the morning tranquility. Ke Qiangguo, sleepy-eyed, sat up in bed, mumbling, "Who is it this early in the morning?"
His wife, Wei Aihua, was also awakened by the knocking. Her face was full of displeasure as she said impatiently, "Don't worry about it. Maybe you knocked on the wrong door. Go back to sleep."
However, the knocking not only did not stop, but became more intense, accompanied by the loud shouts of people outside: "Open the door! The Red Army will search!"
Ke Qiangguo and Wei Aihua's eyes widened instantly, and they looked at each other in horror, as if they were struck by lightning, and the blood in their bodies froze at that moment.
They hurriedly put on their clothes, their movements as frantic as frightened rabbits, even buttoning a few of their clothes incorrectly. The scene of the old man's arrest was still vivid in their minds. Hadn't the old man's case already been resolved?
Why did these people come to their house again? Wei Aihua said as she put on her clothes, "Could it be that your damn father did something we don't know about? Ke Qiangguo, I'm telling you, if our family is implicated by your old man again, I will divorce you."
Ke Qiangguo hurriedly put on his clothes, not saying a word. He was also panicking. No good person would want to be associated with those Red Army members.
But they dared not open this door. When Wei Aihua hurried to open the door, her hands trembled violently with nervousness, and she almost couldn't even open the door.
As soon as the door was opened, a group of Red Soldiers rushed in like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey. In an instant, they entered the yard and the house and began to rummage and smash things around. The air was filled with a suffocating atmosphere of tension.
Director Zhao walked in with steady steps, his hands behind his back. His expression was as serious as a thousand-year-old ice, and his eyes were as cold as an eagle, scanning every corner of the room without missing any details.
"What are you doing? Why are you breaking into my house?" Wei Aihua was originally nervous and scared, but when she saw those Red Soldiers rummaging through and smashing their belongings without any reason, how could she bear it?
She screamed at the top of her lungs, her voice as sharp as an alarm piercing the night sky, and with a slight tremor that was difficult to conceal.
Director Zhao snorted coldly, his voice as if emanating from the depths of hell, filled with intimidation. He said, "Someone has reported you for hoarding counter-revolutionary items and colluding with foreign forces. We're here to search based on that report."
When Ke Qiangguo and Wei Aihua heard this, they were like being hit by a heavy hammer. Their faces instantly turned paler than paper, and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably, like fallen leaves shivering in the cold wind.
Ke Qiangguo looked at Director Zhao in disbelief. "No, that's impossible. We are all good people. We wouldn't do such a thing. Did you make a mistake? Did you search the wrong person?"
Director Zhao didn't even glance at Ke Qiangguo. Although he was not a good person, he looked down on people who didn't even recognize their own parents.
With a wave of his hand, the Red Army soldiers, upon receiving the order, immediately began to search the house even more frantically. Like robbers, they violently opened cabinets and boxes, throwing clothes and other belongings all over the floor like garbage.
Wei Aihua finally couldn't help it, her eyes red with heartache. She rushed forward desperately, trying to stop the Red Soldiers' atrocities, but was pushed away viciously by a Red Soldiers. She lost her balance and almost fell heavily to the ground.
"You can't do this! This is a false accusation!" She cried out at the top of her lungs, her voice full of anger and despair, but the Red Army soldiers turned a deaf ear to her and continued to do as they pleased.
Ke Qiangguo mustered up the courage to stand up and seek an explanation for himself and his family. Just as he opened his mouth to argue, he caught a glimpse of the black muzzles of the Red Soldiers' guns pointing at him. The icy chill instantly rushed from the soles of his feet to his forehead, frightening him so much that he immediately closed his mouth. It felt like something was choking his throat, and he could no longer make a sound.
Ke Yuxue had heard the noise outside long ago, and she didn't dare to sleep anymore. Her usual calm and composed demeanor was gone, and she timidly walked out of the room.
When she saw the chaotic scene before her, she could no longer control the fear in her heart and couldn't help but scream.
Her crying was like a fuse, instantly attracting the attention of more Red Soldiers.
Director Zhao walked up to her, looked down at her coldly, and asked in a voice so cold it could freeze a person, "Are you Ke Yuxue? Do you know what your parents did?"
Ke Yuxue was so frightened that she was shaking all over, like a helpless little deer, shaking her head repeatedly, tears welling up in her eyes, and soon burst out, rolling down her cheeks.
Tang Yue hid aside, watching the miserable state of Ke Qiangguo's family, and secretly sneered in her heart. Thinking of all the evil things they had done to Liu Ting before, this scene finally made her feel a little relieved.
Finally, two Red Army soldiers came out of the house with two foreign books. "Director, we found them."
Director Zhao took it and flipped through it briefly. "The evidence is irrefutable. Take all the people back for investigation."
Ke Yuxue looked at the two books in Director Zhao's hands, then turned to look at her parents in disbelief. The hatred in her eyes was not concealed at all.
Director Zhao happened to see the girl's murderous gaze. Haha, she's still a wolf cub. However, whatever it is, I have to put it on the table in front of the Red Soldier Association.
Ke Qiangguo and Wei Aihua just kept shouting that they were wronged, that it wasn't theirs at all. They weren't book lovers, and they didn't even know foreign languages.
But would it work? Director Zhao waved his hand and had the men escorted away.
Immediately afterwards, Director Zhao and his team went straight to Ke Qiangbang's home.
Ke Qiangbang and Li Ruyun had a big fight last night, which lasted for most of the night. Li Ruyun continued to curse until the second half of the night, and finally fell asleep exhausted.
Ke Qiangbang did not sleep all night, his mind constantly recalling every little detail of the past years and what the three brothers had done after their father's accident.
I don't know what I felt. It was just uncomfortable. I slept in a daze until dawn, but finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep.
