Seeing that the day of release was getting closer, He Cheng became anxious.
Since he couldn't get the Yu family's warm jade, he had no choice but to give up.
Fortunately, the smuggling line has been opened, and all we have to do is transport the goods out.
However, his plan would not go so smoothly.
Ever since Song Li suspected that He Cheng's first pot of gold was obtained illegally, she asked He Linyuan to investigate.
As soon as the Zhou family took action, He Linyuan received the news.
"Is it really smuggling?"
Listening to Wei Guo's report, He Linyuan's face turned darker than charcoal.
Even if he is not in the He family, it does not mean that he can tolerate He Cheng tarnishing the He family's reputation.
If a stubborn person like the old man knew what He Cheng had done, he might be so angry that he would die.
"Captain, are we going to arrest someone?"
Weiguo was also very angry. He felt more and more that He's father was blind and that the son he raised with partiality turned out to be such a traitor. It was a pity that the captain had suffered so much.
He Linyuan shook his head. "Don't alert the enemy yet. Let's get to the bottom of this thread. It would be best if we could recover all the cultural relics that were smuggled out before."
During those chaotic years, not only was He Cheng bold, but there were also many traitors.
The Zhou family runs the scrap yard and has helped the evildoers a lot. Now they control the biggest smuggling line, and He Linyuan wants to catch them all in one fell swoop.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
......
He Cheng discussed the smuggling matter with his father-in-law Zhou Hongguang and returned home with a smug look on his face.
But when he got home and saw the people sitting in the living room, the smugness on He Cheng's face instantly disappeared.
"Dad, you're back."
The days when He Yanzhang was on a mission were the most comfortable time for him. When he suddenly came back, He Cheng felt like the shackles on his neck had fallen off again.
He Yanzhang looked up, his face serious, "Where did you go?"
He Cheng stood up and answered with a worried look on his face, "My father-in-law is busy, so I went to help him."
"Um."
He Yanzhang nodded, "Find something serious to do instead of wandering around the streets and causing trouble all day long."
He Cheng was indignant. If He Yanzhang could arrange a job for him, would he be an unemployed vagrant like he is now?
It's all his fault!
But He Cheng didn't dare to say these words, he just nodded and said, "I know, Dad."
Then she smiled again, "Your mission this time is long, so I need to ask Aunt Hong to cook some more dishes to welcome you."
"Don't bother. So many people can't eat right now. It's no big deal if we waste money!"
He Yanzhang's face turned cold. He Linyuan almost starved to death on the border, but He Cheng only cared about the pomp and show. This made him feel even more guilty towards his eldest son.
He Cheng had no idea how he had offended his father. He was very annoyed, but he had to maintain the appearance of a filial son.
"Then I'll ask Aunt Hong to make a few dishes you like. You've worked so hard for so long, you deserve to replenish your body."
"Two will do."
"yes!"
After he finished speaking, He Cheng walked into the kitchen with a smile.
Looking at his youngest son's back, He Yanzhang's eyes were blank.
Although his wife, children and grandchildren were all around him, He Yanzhang felt that this home was very lonely.
Especially when he met He Linyuan at the border, He Yanzhang missed them even more.
His eldest son is married and has children. His grandchildren are six years old, but he has never seen them. He Yanzhang's heart aches. He feels that he is not qualified to be a father or grandfather.
When He Linyuan ran away from home, he was too embarrassed to apologize, but now he regrets it.
......
At the end of November, Hecheng became increasingly busy.
He went out early and came back late. Zhou Yun knew what he was doing and was worried about him.
But He Cheng is not a fool. If he is caught reselling, he will be shot. He is only responsible for giving advice and does not do any of the work.
The Zhou family and he were firmly tied to the same boat, so even if Zhou Hongguang was unwilling, he had no choice but to agree.
On December 1st, He Zhou and his companions specially calculated the time and waited for the buyer to arrive.
However, they not only waited for the buyer, but also waited for Weiguo and public security.
Because He Cheng had no involvement and was not present when the goods were handed over to the buyer, only Zhou Hongguang was arrested.
When the news reached the He family, Zhou Yun fainted.
After waking up, he grabbed He Cheng's sleeve and questioned, "Didn't you say it was foolproof? Why are there police officers? What's going to happen to my dad now? Get him out!"
He Cheng was also annoyed. He didn't know why such a good deal was suddenly leaked. Now not only were people arrested, but the goods were also confiscated.
Fortunately, he was cautious and escaped early, otherwise he would have had to go in as well.
"Don't worry, I'll think of a way..."
How could Zhou Yun not be anxious? In her heart, her parents' family was much more important than her husband's family. After all, it was her parents' family who helped her after she got married.
My father-in-law is old-fashioned and will never show favoritism, and my mother-in-law cannot be relied upon.
Now that something has happened to her mother's family, Zhou Yun feels like the sky has fallen.
"I should have never agreed to let Dad help you. This is going to get you shot at. Now Dad is taking the blame for you. What should we do?"
"Alright! I told you I'd find a way, could you just shut up!"
He Cheng shouted loudly, and Zhou Yun was startled.
He Cheng has always been gentle and kind, and has never lost his temper with her. Now, anger and resentment surged up at the same time, and Zhou Yun scratched him.
"You did something wrong, and you still want me to shut up, He Cheng, do you have any conscience?"
The couple started arguing, and since the He family's room was so small, the noise they made could be heard outside.
He Yanzhang had just learned about the Zhou family's affairs. He Linyuan did not tell him in person, but the police told him. He Yanzhang's face turned pale after hearing it.
Although the police did not find any evidence of He Cheng's involvement, He Cheng and Zhou Hongguang had always been close. In addition, Zhou Hongguang had found He Cheng's jobs, so He Yanzhang did not believe that the smuggling had nothing to do with him.
"This evil creature!"
Su Ping was coming over to bring tonic soup to He Yanzhang. When she heard him cursing angrily, her hands trembled.
"Zhou Yun has a bad temper. It's understandable that she gets anxious when her in-laws make a mistake, but she shouldn't be quarreling with Ah Cheng..."
Su Ping didn't know what He Cheng had done behind her back, so she naturally sided with him. However, she didn't know that her words made He Yanzhang even angrier.
"A loving mother often spoils her child. Hecheng is in this situation because of you!"
"What's wrong with Ah Cheng? Old He, you can't take your anger out on him."
Su Ping was anxious and angry. In her eyes, there was nothing wrong with her son, but her husband had never looked at him straight in the eye.
Su Ping felt guilty and didn't dare to ask any questions, but she couldn't bear to watch her husband misunderstand her son.
"Okay, you can get out now."
He Yanzhang was impatient to talk to her. Smuggling and reselling was not a good thing after all. If it were someone else, he would have sent the person to jail long ago, but this person was his son. Even though He Yanzhang was cold-blooded and ruthless, he hesitated.
Su Ping let out a burst of anger and just in time saw He Cheng coming down the stairs.
Seeing the bloody scratches on her son's face, she felt so distressed.
"This Zhou Yun is really harsh. The Zhou family is in trouble, and she still dares to make trouble with you. If this doesn't work out, then divorce me!"
Of course He Cheng wanted to leave, but Zhou Yun had evidence of his smuggling, so he didn't dare to break up with her.
When he saw his mother coming out of He's father's room, he was startled.
"Did Dad say anything?"
Su Ping was just distressed and shook her head. "What can your father say? He can't stay at home for a few days. You and Zhou Yun should behave yourself."
He Cheng was relieved, "I understand."
