In the end, faced with overwhelming evidence, Lao Wu and his accomplices confessed to their crimes.
During the interrogation, he also confessed to many other things.
So while their organization wasn't completely wiped out this time, the raid resulted in the arrest of many people and the solving of many previously unsolved cases.
But all of this had nothing to do with Liu Shile. At this moment, she had already picked up her younger brother, Liu Shian.
The little guy didn't sleep at all; he was waiting there for his sister to come back.
Upon seeing Liu Shile, the little one's eyes lit up immediately, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Second Sister!"
"Hmm, why aren't you asleep? It's not good for a child to stay up late."
Seeing the little guy running towards her with surprise, Liu Shile's heart softened. It was pitiful that he had experienced so much at such a young age.
So she patted his little head again.
The little guy wasn't sure if he was waiting for his sister to come back, but he was very happy and smiled at Liu Shile.
Well, this little guy is probably waiting for me to come back.
Liu Shile thought for a moment and asked her younger brother, "Shi'an, after I take you back, where do you want to live?"
Based on previous observations of this little guy, I reckon he understands quite a few things.
So, even though he was only a little over three years old, Liu Shile still asked him very seriously.
When asked this, the smile on Liu Shi'an's face slowly disappeared.
He was somewhat at a loss. What child doesn't long for the warmth of a family?
He longed to return home, but after this experience, he was somewhat reluctant to go back to his family home.
But if he doesn't live at home, where can he go?
Should I follow my eldest or second eldest sister?
Now, I can't count on my brothers; I can only rely on my sisters.
However, my eldest sister has to work in town, and my second sister is studying in the city, so it seems inconvenient for them to be with either of them.
Seeing this, Liu Shile thought for a moment before saying, "Shi'an, if you don't want to stay at home, your second sister can take you away."
Second sister only has two options for you to choose from right now, but there might be a third option tomorrow.
Liu Shi'an stared at his second sister, listening intently to her words.
Seeing his reaction, Liu Shile offered him two options.
These two choices were too simple; they were exactly what Liu Shi'an had in mind.
However, Liu Shile then analyzed the pros and cons of the two options with him.
By following him, he could stay away from home and avoid facing the mother who had abandoned him.
The downside is that he has no one to take care of him during the day, so he can only be sent to kindergarten or stay at home by himself.
The second option is to live with my older sister for a while.
The advantage is that the eldest sister's in-laws have many relatives, so she can take care of him as well, and he also has a playmate.
The downside is the same: more people means more work.
Although the eldest sister is doing well in her husband's family, if she were to raise another younger brother from her own family, her husband's family might gossip about her.
Of course, these gossips might also reach Liu Shi'an's ears.
There was another candidate, but Liu Shile didn't know yet whether the other person was willing or not, so she didn't mention it.
Liu Shi'an was still young, but she understood what her second sister meant.
His second sister could take him with her, but she didn't have time to take care of him; at most, she could make sure he didn't go hungry.
I might suffer a little from my older sister's treatment, but having someone to look after me and accompany me makes me feel more at ease.
Thinking this through, he said, "If my older sister agrees, I will go with her."
He wasn't afraid of being alone with his second sister, but rather afraid of causing her trouble.
My second sister is a college student, so it must be very hard for her. She also has to take care of herself, which makes it even harder.
He couldn't bear to see his second sister worrying too much about him.
So although it might cause some trouble for his older sister, he can help take care of his nephew and niece.
They are still young and need to be taken care of, but they can manage on their own!
If Liu Shile knew that this little guy had so much stuff in his head, she would definitely think he had an adult soul!
Unfortunately, she didn't know that Liu Shi'an was indeed just a child, and his body did not house an adult soul.
The reason he was so precocious was because he was disliked at home from a young age, so he learned to read people's expressions.
At that moment, Liu Shile truly felt sorry for the little guy.
She patted his head and said with a gentle smile, "Okay, if the other option isn't an option tomorrow, then you can live with your older sister for a while."
She could indeed take Shi'an to the city, but judging from the situation this time, she was being watched.
Well, although she might be able to deal with the other party when she gets back, she can't exactly wipe out their entire family, can she?
This is one problem, and the second is because Liu Shile is worried about leaving the child alone.
He's like this at home, and he's still like this in the city, which might not be good for his upbringing.
Therefore, she hopes to have people and an environment that can make her feel warm.
Liu Shi'an nodded obediently before asking in a low voice, "Second sister, did Mom do that on purpose?"
Liu Shile, wouldn't it be too cruel to tell this little guy the truth?
In the end, Liu Shile decided to tell him the truth, and also told him that he was a flag bearer.
After all, if it weren't for me, the little guy might have survived.
Liu Shi'an's eyes widened in surprise. "Second sister, Mother... she still wants to harm you?"
He really didn't understand why his mother would help others harm them.
No matter what, they are her biological children, aren't they?
Although his neighbor, the older brother from the Li family, had told him that someone had drowned in his grandmother's village, he didn't believe it.
But now, he truly believes that there really are people who want to kill their own flesh and blood!
The truth was too cruel, and little Liu Shi'an's tears fell again.
Liu Shile...
It seems I shouldn't have told him all that; look, I scared him to tears.
well!
Being an older sister is really tough!
The hardest thing is, what should she do now?
"Hey, Shi'an, don't cry anymore, okay? Here, have a sweet treat."
How many children don't like to eat sweets?
However, this time, her trick didn't work, and the little boy's tears fell even more fiercely.
Uh~~
Little one, if you cry again, the veins on my forehead are going to pop out!
The little boy seemed to sense something, so he quickly wiped away his tears.
Then he looked at Liu Shile with a pitiful expression.
Uh, so it seems like having little kids around is a bit of a hassle?
"Don't be scared, Shi'an, you're a little man!"
"We don't eat candy, so let's have dried fruit instead. It's delicious!"
Soothing a child has already taken a lot of brainpower from Liu Shile.
She felt that taking care of a child was much more difficult than studying and practicing martial arts!
Fortunately, Liu Shi'an has always been a sensible child. Seeing that her second sister was starting to comfort her again, she stopped crying.
But he still sensibly shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry, Second Sister, you eat more."
He also knew that his mother had not given his second sister any living expenses or tuition fees.
Therefore, he felt that his second sister must be having a hard time, so he decided to leave these things for her to eat.
