"It's not about you." Seeing her pale with fear, Xu Yingjie explained, "It's about the case of your cousin Wang Chunyin. I have a few questions for you."
At that moment, Wang Qing's mother-in-law heard the commotion and came out of the kitchen. She said to Wang Qing, "Xiaoqing, don't stand at the door like an idiot. It's not good for the neighbors to see you. Please invite Comrade An inside to sit down."
"I was inconsiderate. Comrade Xian'an, please come in." Upon hearing this, Wang Qing quickly took a step back with the child in his arms, making room at the entrance for Xu Yingjie and the other man to enter the house.
Wang Qing's grandmother came to Wang Qing, took the child from her arms, and whispered to her, "Xiaoqing, Comrade Xian'an is asking you questions, just answer truthfully. This isn't your case, so don't be afraid."
Wang Qing nodded, "Okay, Mom, I understand."
After entering the house and sitting down, Xu Yingjie immediately stated his purpose and asked Wang Qing whether he knew about Wang Chunying's baby swapping incident.
Wang Qing was shocked. "What? Swapping a baby? How is that possible? Chun Xi didn't have to do that."
Xu Yingjie observed Wang Qing's expression. Seeing that her shock didn't seem fake, he pressed on, "What do you know? Why do you say she couldn't have done that?"
Wang Qing suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed unpredictably. After a long while, he shook his head: "No, nothing, I, I was just talking nonsense."
Xu Yingjie's expression grew serious. "Comrade Wang Qing, Wang Chunqian is suspected of child abduction. If you knew the truth but chose not to report it, that would be harboring someone! Harboring someone is also a crime! Do you understand?"
Wang Qing bit her lips subconsciously. Her eyes flickered and her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was hesitating about something.
Xu Yingjie stared at her intently, his expression gradually growing grim. Finally, he couldn't help but break the silence, his voice deep and powerful: "Comrade Wang Qing, if you can't cooperate, it will be difficult for us to continue our work."
Wang Qing lowered his head, clenched the corners of his clothes with both hands, and struggled internally.
Xu Yingjie didn't give her a chance to struggle any further and gave her a drastic measure: "Comrade Wang Qing, the crime of harboring a criminal carries a penalty of three years of hard labor. Are you sure you want to break the law just to protect a criminal?"
"I..." Wang Qing was speechless.
Her mother-in-law became anxious and secretly pinched her granddaughter's butt.
The little girl was pinched and hurt, and she started crying immediately.
Her mother-in-law took the opportunity to persuade Wang Qing: "Xiaoqing, if you know anything, tell Comrade Xian'an right away. You have a family and children, how can you bear the blame for an outsider? Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your two children. You can't ruin their lives for a moment of family loyalty!"
When Wang Qing heard this, he suddenly came to his senses.
Tears glistened in her eyes, and her voice trembled slightly: "I... I didn't mean to protect her... but she is my cousin after all..."
"It's because she's your cousin that you're so righteous that you're willing to sacrifice your own blood!" Grandma Wang Qing said immediately, "She committed a crime, so she's a criminal! If you know about it and don't report it, you're helping the criminal escape punishment, which is a grave mistake! Xiaoqing, you mustn't be so foolish."
Wang Qing finally made up his mind, "I, I understand, I say..."
Grandma Wang Qing said with relief, "That's right. Xiaoqing, you know all the inside story. Tell Comrade Qian'an quickly. Don't make him wait anxiously."
He quickly finished his words and sent Xian'an away. If Xian'an kept being naughty, the neighbors would misunderstand him and their family's reputation would be ruined!
Wang Qing took a deep breath and asked nervously, "Comrade Qian'an, is it illegal to buy a child?"
