She was right to criticize, but who would admit it?
Xu Wan burst into tears. When the police inside heard the commotion and came out, they saw Xu Qi's right hand raised high. They immediately ran over to stop her and gave Xu Qi a lecture. At the same time, they became even more convinced of what Xu Nian and his sister had just said.
When they were finally able to leave again, even though Xu Qi was seething with anger, he didn't dare to make a move in front of the police station again.
"You two just wait."
Aunt Xu also spat at them, the disgusting saliva almost hitting Xu Wan's face, which made Xu Nian's face turn cold again.
"Believe it or not, you're the ones who will be in trouble this time."
Staring directly at her with Xu Nian's gaze, Aunt Xu felt a chill run down her spine. "What do you want to do? Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of you."
But since the two men in the house had already gone inside, her words sounded weak and ineffective.
Xu Nian pulled Xu Wan away, too lazy to argue with her, since he had already taken his revenge inside.
Aunt Xu watched them leave, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets, but it was no use. She could only quicken her pace to catch up with her daughter.
"Qiqi, why don't you plead with Cheng Bing? Ask his dad to help your dad and your brother, okay?"
Xu Qi shook off her mother's hand, "This is a big deal, not a small one, how could he possibly help!"
"You two are really something! You're good at nothing but bringing honor to others and dragging things down. We were planning to get married, but what are we going to do now!"
The way she says that makes it sound like she's so innocent. If it weren't for her dad making money from this job for her to spend, where would she buy all those nice things to dress herself up and then use that fake image to hook up with rich guys?
"It's too late to talk about this now! You need to think of a way to save your dad and your brother. If something really happens to them, our lives will be over, and it will be even harder for you to marry Cheng Bing then."
Xu Qi was certainly aware of this. The Cheng family wasn't very satisfied with her to begin with, and if something really happened...
She didn't even dare to think about it; she could only hurry up and find someone to help her.
Xu Nian didn't pay any attention to the mother and daughter. With witnesses and physical evidence, and Brother Zhou watching over them, he believed that nothing would go wrong.
Remembering what he had just said inside, he knew Xu Tianbao was doomed.
When the brother and sister returned to the guesthouse, everyone was waiting for them.
"Resolved?"
"Um."
When he answered, Xu Nian thanked Gu An'an and her husband sincerely. He knew that without them, things would not have been so easy.
"Then relax, have some fun these next couple of days, and go home once things are completely resolved."
While they were playing happily, the Xu father and son looked ashen-faced, especially Xu Tianbao.
"Officer, I was really just helping out. I had no idea my dad was selling state property. If I had known, I definitely would have stopped him."
Xu Tianbao knew how serious this crime was; with multiple crimes punished together, he would be severely punished, if not killed.
Now he can only sell his father and push everything onto his father so that the Xu family's eldest branch can have an heir.
It wasn't his fault; he just didn't want the Xu family line to end.
No matter what he said, the other party always had a "you can talk nonsense, but we don't believe it" expression, which made Xu Tianbao extremely anxious.
Just as he was starting to panic, Old Zhou suddenly spoke up, "Where were you on the night of July 15th, two years ago!"
Xu Tianbao had done many bad things in his life, but the worst one happened two summers ago. He was very proud of it for a long time, and it was something he could never forget.
"I'm at home."
Xu Tianbao was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses.
"At home? But someone saw you coming out of the woods near the south gate that day, and something happened in the woods that night. A girl who was off her night shift was assaulted."
Old Zhou was obviously bluffing him, but Xu Tianbao didn't know that and was clearly more flustered than before.
"No, that's impossible. I'm at home, and my family can vouch for me."
“We have already investigated. You were coming home very late during that period, and on the night of the incident, you didn’t get home until after midnight. Are you sure you still won’t tell the truth?”
Xu Tianbao's eyes darted left and right, his whole demeanor revealing his guilty conscience, only his mouth remained as stubborn as ever.
Next, Xu Tianbao witnessed firsthand the methods used by the military, methods that even trained enemy agents couldn't resist, let alone him.
In the end, he was not cleared of the charges of misappropriating state assets and engaging in illegal buying and selling, but was also charged with hooliganism.
The moment he confessed, Xu Tianbao slumped helplessly in the interrogation chair.
On this day, chaos also broke out at the soap factory and the cloth factory.
Because of the Xu family father and son, several people who embezzled public funds and sold off state assets were implicated.
Suddenly, everyone felt insecure.
"Cheng Bing, could you ask your uncle to help my dad and my brother?"
Cheng Bing frowned and looked at her coldly, "My dad can't help with this either, let's break up."
The saying "Men are heartless" is perfectly embodied in Cheng Bing.
Just the day before, this man in front of her said he wouldn't marry anyone but her, but now, not long after, he's the one who said they were breaking up.
"Cheng Bing, how could you do this!"
Cheng Bing, however, didn't care how heartbroken Xu Qi was. "Instead of arguing with me about this, why don't you go find someone else who can save your family?"
After saying that, Cheng Bing left.
Xu Qi had no choice but to mentally search for people who might be able to help.
Without exception, all those capable people refused her request for help. Even those who were originally as close as sisters with her turned her away, which made Xu Qi so angry that she kept cursing them to die a horrible death.
When she dragged her exhausted body home, the house had already been searched, and her belongings were scattered all over the floor.
Seeing her return, Aunt Xu rushed forward, asking expectantly, "How did it go? Did the Cheng family agree to help?"
Actually, seeing Xu Qi's expression, she knew the outcome might not be good, but for that one in ten thousand chance, she still asked.
"What help?! Not only did he not help me, he broke up with me!"
"It's all your fault! It's all because of your insatiable greed. Now look what's happened! We've lost our jobs, our lives, and even the boyfriend I worked so hard to date is gone! Mom! It's all over, our family is finished, you know that?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Xu collapsed to the ground, exclaiming, "What are we going to do! Is this God trying to kill us?!"
The breadwinner of the family is gone, the money is gone, and now no one is willing to help. Life is going to be even harder than it was back in the village.
But there are even more difficult things to come...
