Song Zhengyu's face was pale and he hung his head as he told everyone the bad news: Song Jianshe had been arrested.
When Li Yunmei heard the news, she felt dizzy and almost fainted.
She quickly grabbed Song Zhengyu's arm and asked, "Where did you hear this news? Did you hear it wrongly? How could your father be arrested?"
Song Zhengyu was also very anxious and panicked at this moment.
"I don't know what happened either. I finally got some information. They said my father was reported for taking advantage of his position to embezzle and accept bribes, and the amount was huge.
The factory has called the police, and Dad has been taken to the police station. I can't even get in to see him."
Li Yunmei's eyes went dark and she fainted.
Song Zhengyu was so scared that he pinched her philtrum hard and finally woke her up.
Li Yunmei, who had regained consciousness, was at a loss. "Why was your father arrested? What should I do?"
Song Zhengli was so frightened that his face turned pale. "What should we do? Dad has been arrested. Will the police come looking for us?"
Song Zhengyu was relatively calm, "Probably not. Even if Dad is caught, it can't be blamed on us.
However, the police may come to talk to us, so you all need to be careful about what to say and what not to say, and be more careful."
They had never encountered such a thing before, and everyone was unsure and nodded woodenly.
Song Zhengyu looked at Li Yunmei and said, "Mom, I'll take you back to your room to rest."
Li Yunmei: "How can I feel like resting now?"
Seeing Song Zhengyu winking at her, she finally reacted, "Yes, I am tired, help me in."
Song Zhengyu helped her into the room.
Shen Ru slumped on the sofa as if she had lost all her strength.
Her son Yangyang didn't know what was going on, but he just felt that the atmosphere at home was not right, so he clung to her.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
Looking at her son's cute face, Shen Ru felt sad.
Corruption and bribery are such serious crimes.
Now that their father-in-law has been arrested, they will no longer be able to hold their heads up in the factory.
Even the children will be affected.
She looked at the closed door, wondering what her mother-in-law and Song Zhengyu were talking about. She hoped they could come up with a solution.
Song Leyi also slumped in the chair. Suddenly, her stomach growled. She looked at Shen Ru and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm hungry. Go and cook."
Shen Ru was unwilling to even move.
She has hands and feet, but she orders me to do things every day like a capitalist lady, not even clearing away the dishes. I am not a servant hired by their family.
"I've been busy outside all day, and you're doing nothing at home. Can't you cook a meal for yourself?"
Hearing this, Song Leyi frowned.
"I knew you were pretending. You used to pretend to be so filial in front of your parents, but now that something happened at home, your true colors are revealed."
Shen Ru was too lazy to say more to her.
When Song Leyi saw her attitude, she was about to speak when there was a knock on the door.
She glared at Shen Ru angrily and ran to speak.
There were several police officers standing at the door, and she was so scared that she quickly closed the door.
But it was still too late. A policeman pushed the door open and walked in, showing his ID.
"This is a search warrant. Please cooperate with the investigation."
Song Zhengyu closed the door and asked Li Yunmei, "Mom, do you know what's going on?"
Li Yunmei's eyes flickered and she stammered, unable to speak.
When Song Zhengyu saw her reaction, his heart sank to the bottom.
It seems that it is true that Dad accepted bribes, otherwise Mom would not have reacted like this.
"Mom, if you don't tell me the truth now, and someone comes to investigate, we won't even be able to discuss countermeasures."
"Your dad...your dad got some money. How many people who can sit in that position these days don't have some problems?"
But the situation is different now. Others were not reported, but his father was reported and was even locked up in the police station.
Song Zhengyu asked anxiously, "Where are the things? Are there any account books? We have to destroy all of them.
If the police find evidence, we'll be finished."
Li Yunmei moved the bed away, took out two tiles from the corner of the wall, and took out the things inside.
Song Zhengyu looked at the dark wooden box, his heart almost jumping out of his throat.
“This…what is this?”
"There are forty-five gold bars in here. Your father and I didn't dare keep any cash at home, so we exchanged it all for gold bars."
Li Yunmei opened the lid, and the golden bars dazzled her eyes.
Song Zhengyu was almost stunned.
He knew his family had some money, but he never imagined it would be so rich.
If it wasn't an emergency, he would be ecstatic to know that there was such a large sum of money at home.
But now, this money has become a death warrant for their family.
Before he could say anything, Song Leyi's sharp scream came from the living room.
"Mom, the police are here."
Li Yunmei was so frightened that the box almost fell to the ground.
Song Zhengyu was quick to close the box, stuff it back into the hole, and restore the bed to its original state.
"Mom, if the police ask you about it, just say you know nothing and don't say anything else."
Li Yunmei was shocked and panicked. After hearing his words, she managed to calm down and nodded.
When the police came in, they saw Li Yunmei crying in the room, and Song Zhengyu was trying to persuade her.
They pulled out a search warrant and began searching every corner of the room.
After rummaging through all the boxes and drawers, all the things she had packed were found.
