When Ye Fanxing uttered the words "execution," Cheng Jianshe felt a sudden pain in his chest, as if he had been shot by a bullet.
He never imagined... never imagined that one day he would be executed!
Seeing that Cheng Jianshe seemed quite provoked by Ye Fanxing's words, Huo Dongfang sneered contemptuously, "Cheng Jianshe, don't think that apologizing to Ye Fanxing will erase everything! You'd better watch yourself!"
Following Huo Dongfang's signal, the guard walked up to Cheng Jianshe.
"Please stop."
Liu Guiying wanted to try something more.
Cheng Xiao grabbed Liu Guiying's arm at just the right moment, "Mom, stop making a scene."
With Cheng Jianshe in this state, his family is now like rats in the street, hated and beaten by everyone.
If they continue making a scene, they will be the ones who embarrass themselves.
Even though Liu Guiying was unwilling, she had no choice but to return to the Cheng family home under the escort of guards and others.
Cheng Jianshe, wearing handcuffs, followed closely behind.
When others in the military compound saw the Cheng family, they avoided them as if they were plague gods, fearing that they might be tainted by some bad luck.
The Cheng family used to think they could live in the military compound for the rest of their lives, but things are unpredictable, and now they are facing the prospect of having to move away.
The logistics department has a list, and everything on the list must be kept.
Other items purchased by the Cheng family themselves need to be moved out.
As the sun set, a time when families in the military compound would normally prepare dinner, everyone gathered outside the Cheng family compound to watch the commotion.
Previously, Cheng Jianshe was the pillar of the family, and he arranged everything, big and small.
But now... no one in the Cheng family can handle things. Even though Cheng Jianshe was in handcuffs, he could only worry and give Cheng Xiao some instructions.
"Cheng Xiao, go and write down the name of a hotel first."
Cheng Xiao hesitated for a moment, "Dad, why don't we just rent a place?"
"We can't find a suitable house in a short time. Go book a hotel first, move all your things there, and then look for a place slowly!"
"good."
Cheng Xiao readily agreed.
Cheng Jianshe urged Liu Guiying again, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and pack your things."
Liu Guiying went into the house to tidy up with a gloomy face and muttering curses.
The Cheng family has three daughters and one son. The most successful is the second daughter, who went to university in another city after being admitted to university.
The third daughter, Cheng Jun, was more mature than the eldest daughter, Cheng Xiao.
"Cheng Jun, you and your mother pack your things. There's a camphor wood chest in my study that your mother brought with her as part of her dowry. Remember to move it."
Cheng Yun replied, "Okay."
In the past, the neighbors would definitely have lent a hand when the Cheng family was in trouble.
Now, Cheng Jianshe is a disgrace to men, and the neighbors are unwilling to help the Cheng family.
There were no men in the Cheng family, so the three women had to carry things back and forth.
Fortunately, Cheng Jianshe had bought bicycles for his family before, which made it quite convenient to carry things on bicycles.
Cheng Jianshe felt the gazes of his neighbors on him, and then suddenly thought of Ye Heping's funeral.
Ye Heping and Huo Dongfang were genuinely busy helping him, but what about him?
What's the point of all his hard work over the years?
Now, I don't even have a single close friend!
Night fell and dusk settled.
The three women in the Cheng family were extremely busy. They had almost finished moving their belongings when Cheng Jianshe was about to be taken away!
Meanwhile, Cheng Xiao and Cheng Yun, the two sisters, struggled to lift the camphor wood box.
"Mom, come and lend a hand!"
Liu Guiying cursed, "You two good-for-nothings, how heavy could a box possibly be?"
Liu Guiying stepped forward and held the camphor wood box, immediately feeling its weight.
The mother and her two daughters worked together to place the camphor wood box on the back of the bicycle and secure it with a rope.
Unfortunately... just as Cheng Xiao got on his bicycle and set off, he suddenly started to sway.
"careful!"
Cheng Xiao lost all control of the direction, and the bicycle plunged into the flower bed.
The camphor wood box crashed directly into the hard corner of the flower bed.
A hole appeared in the wooden board instantly, and dazzling light shone through the crack.
This scene was particularly striking in the twilight.
"Wait a moment."
Cheng Jianshe's heart skipped a beat.
Cheng Xiao hurriedly went to steady the box.
"It's okay, I can manage on my own," Cheng Xiao said guiltily.
At this moment, the guards stepped forward.
"Open the box."
Cheng Xiao said somewhat flusteredly, "There's nothing in the box."
The guard opened the box, and on the surface of the box were only a few pieces of calligraphy and paintings by Cheng Jianshe.
But when the guard reached out and knocked, he heard a clearly unusual sound.
"Get out of the way."
Cheng smiled sheepishly and stepped aside.
The guard pulled out a hammer from somewhere and smashed the wooden board in front of everyone.
When the wooden board was opened, a layer of gold bars was neatly stacked underneath.
The gleaming gold bars instantly put the guards on high alert.
"Report this immediately!"
Cheng Jianshe looked at the scene before him and felt utterly desperate.
It’s over!
When his crimes are exposed, he's really going to be executed!
The discovery of gold bars at Cheng Jianshe's home was also reported to Huo Dongfang by the guard.
"Report."
Huo Dongfang slightly raised his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "What is it?"
"Sir, we found gold bars at the Cheng family's residence."
Huo Dongfang's expression suddenly darkened, and he asked, "Gold bars?"
"Yes, gold bars."
At the same time, countless doubts arose in the minds of both Huo Dongfang and Ye Fanxing.
Cheng Jianshe and Liu Guiying were both from rural backgrounds, so under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for them to have so many gold bars!
