The excitement was impressive, but it came at a price. The next morning, many people in their compound had huge dark circles under their eyes, their eye bags practically drooping to their chins.
However, Liu Yun and Cheng Ke's families got a good rest, because they knew that given Zhu Lin's attitude last night, he definitely wouldn't let it go so easily. They needed to get a good night's sleep and recharge, because there would definitely be more excitement today.
When Liu Yun was reading the plot, she only had time to get a general idea, and it mainly focused on the female lead, so she didn't know what happened next.
Liu Yun felt that only her mother-in-law knew what would happen next.
If Yu's mother knew what Liu Yun was thinking, she would definitely roll her eyes. How could she possibly know? In her past life, she hardly ever came here. Usually, it was the Yu family who went, and the children would only visit during holidays when they were older. She only knew about the compound because of its reputation; almost everyone in the city knew about it, but by the time it reached her ears, it had been distorted countless times. In this life, she only came often because she knew there was excitement to be had; otherwise, she wouldn't bother coming so often! Wouldn't it be better for her and her husband to stay with the Yu family?
During breakfast, everyone in the compound knew that the three Wang brothers had suffered mild food poisoning. They were fine, but they would have to stay in the hospital for three days. They had been poisoned by stealing herbs from the medicine packet.
When everyone heard this, they only said "that's right".
When Zhu Lin heard this, he was furious and trembled with anger. Coupled with his bruised and swollen face, he looked rather frightening.
But Zhu Lin couldn't care less about anything else at that moment. He only had one thing on his mind: his secret had been discovered, and everyone would laugh at him from now on. He was not a man, he could never hold his head up again, and everyone would point fingers at him.
Everyone knew that Zhu Lin would not let this go, but no one expected him to drop such a bombshell. Aunt Yuan was so angry she was practically fuming.
Zhu Lin grew increasingly resentful, so he went to the factory, asked for a day off, and went to the police station.
"Hello, officer, I need to report a crime."
The police officers on duty had just started their shift and were surprised to see someone arrive so early. They were somewhat taken aback when they saw Zhu Lin's face. "Comrade, please have a seat. Sit down and let's talk. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"It's like this, last night..." Zhu Lin wasn't stupid, so he directly told her about the Wang brothers' theft last night, and he also admitted to hitting someone. After all, the police would definitely investigate and find out, so it was better to admit it himself. However, he also revealed all the three brothers' great deeds, such as stealing multiple times, pushing a pregnant woman, and causing her to miscarry.
"By the way, last time they stole from my house and my mother caught them and scolded them, so they deliberately retaliated. In the middle of the night, they pushed me into the latrine while my mother was using the toilet. I admit that I hit them a little too hard last night because of old and new grudges, but because I was going to call the police, their mother and their grandmother's lover beat me up like this. Isn't this a threat? And this isn't the first time. Whenever the three brothers steal or make a mistake and need to be punished, their mother's lover will come out and beat and threaten people. Last time they pushed a pregnant woman so hard she almost miscarried, and when she was going to call the police, that lover beat her up."
Although he didn't say he gained anything, it's a fact that he hit someone and pushed the pregnant woman. Moreover, Zhu Lin knew that Fu Yao and Cheng Ke had no goodwill towards the Wang family, even harboring hatred. Otherwise, they wouldn't have made Qin Fen lose face so badly last time. Others might not know, but he saw it himself. It was clearly Fu Yao who said something to Qin Fen that made him jump into the latrine. Because of that, Qin Fen is still being mocked and asked if he likes shit! This time, he didn't need Fu Yao to do anything; he was just stating the facts, and he believed Fu Yao wouldn't deny it.
*Bang!* The police officer slammed his fist on the table in anger. “Stealing, covering up, and threatening people—is this some kind of local tyrant? Don’t worry, we’ll investigate thoroughly. If the situation is true, we won’t let any bad guy get away with it.”
The young policeman had heard before that someone had fallen into a cesspool twice in a yard, and they were laughing at the time! They said, "Is he stupid? How could he fall in like that?" Some even joked that he went down to taste the excrement, just to have an excuse. They thought it was just a joke, but they never expected it to be like this. He was caught stealing, and the homeowner said a few words, which led to this retaliation. The old man's bones are fragile, and the cesspool, though not high, is quite deep. Falling in without any warning, what if something happened to him? It would be murder! And the mistress is threatening him! Isn't this incestuous behavior? And the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are each involved! That's really something!
"Thank you, officers. I believe you will give us justice." Zhu Lin bowed gratefully.
