Chapter 74: Retribution

Xiao Yuanshan was extremely grateful that Xiao Jingyan was transferred back to work, otherwise, if it was someone else, his family would inevitably be arrested and interrogated even if they were innocent.

I thought I could rest easy and even waited for Xiao Jingyan to come back at night just to find out more about the situation.

In the early morning, the person did come back, but it was not just one person, but a group of people.

Xiao Yuanshan looked at the dozen or so people coming in from the gate, led by Xiao Jingyan.

Why did you bring so many people back?

This is what was revealed during the interrogation. Could it be that Liu Chunfen is not innocent either?

I had doubts in my mind, so I asked.

"Jing Yan, why did you bring so many people here at this time? Did you get any results from the interrogation? Are you here to arrest Liu Chunfen?"

I didn't think about myself at all.

Xiao Jingyan was really confused when he saw that he didn't seem worried at all.

Am I really his biological child?

This guy is too stupid. Fortunately, he did not inherit his genes. He is more like his mother. Fortunately, his mother is smart.

"Not only Liu Chunfen, but everyone in the house today has to go with us."

Xiao Yuanshan was not the only one who didn't sleep. No one in the room could sleep.

Bai Ling walked out of the room when she heard the noise. She heard Xiao Jingyan's words clearly at the stairs and looked a little excited.

"Why are you arresting us? We haven't broken any law. I've been married to your father for more than ten years. Even if my brother has done something wrong, what does it have to do with me and your father? You have to have evidence to arrest someone, right? I won't go with you without evidence."

Liu Chunfen didn't even wear shoes. She must have heard the noise and ran out in a hurry.

"I really didn't know that damn Bai Hua was a traitor. If I had known earlier, I would have divorced him a long time ago. Our family doesn't know what he did. It has nothing to do with us. We are all innocent."

Xiao Yuanshan's face was not looking good either. Others didn't know how involved a spy was, but he had been a soldier for at least a few years and grew up in a military compound, so he naturally knew the interests involved.

He also understood that as long as they were innocent, even if they were taken away for investigation, they would be released once the investigation was clear. He was not afraid, but he was worried that it would affect his business. After all, doing business was all about reputation.

He deliberately softened his tone and asked in a negotiating tone: "Jing Yan, can we not go to your police force and interrogate us at home? We will definitely cooperate well. As long as we know everything, we will explain it clearly and will never hide anything."

He was sure that if the whole family was taken away today, the news would spread quickly. After all, tomorrow was New Year's Day and everyone would visit each other to wish each other a happy new year. As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. Just thinking about it made his head hurt.

Xiao Jingyan naturally knew what he was planning.

"I'm here now because I'm concerned about our father-son relationship. You've been a soldier, so you should know our discipline. As long as you're innocent and not in cahoots with Bai Hua, you'll be released soon once we find out the truth."

It is indeed early in the morning. Even if people are staying up on New Year's Eve, most people are asleep at this time. You can tell by the fact that there are only a few houses with lights on outside.

Being taken away now is indeed much better than being taken away in public tomorrow.

Xiao Jingyan was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, "I'll give you ten minutes to pack up and get dressed."

In this way, the entire Xiao family, except for the nanny, was taken away in the early morning. Even Xiao Jingxuan, who was hiding in the room and had nothing to do with it, was not left out.

It was New Year's Day, and compared to other people's homes which were bustling with lights on before dawn and the sound of firecrackers, the Xiao family seemed deserted.

Originally, everyone would get up early to greet each other during the Chinese New Year, but the news that all the members of the Xiao family were taken away and that Bai Hua was a traitor quickly spread.

There is always a saying that three people make a tiger, and the rumors are becoming more and more outrageous.

When the news reached the He family's ears, not only the Bai family, but even the Xiao family was labeled as traitors, and then there was the heroic act of Xiao Jingyan who killed his own relatives for the sake of justice.

Of course, there are some smart people among them who know that the Xiao family was implicated by the Bai family.

Some people even said that Xiao Yuanshan was getting his comeuppance. Who made him abandon his wife and children when he was successful in his career and marry that little witch Bai Ling? Now he was getting his comeuppance.

Originally, Xiao Yuanshan married Bai Ling after his divorce. Although he held a grand wedding less than a month after the divorce, there was no gossip. After all, it was natural for a divorced man to find a woman who understands his feelings and wants to marry as soon as possible.

Even if some people knew the inside story, they would not go out of their way to gossip about it because of their friendship. However, many people felt that Xiao Jingyan's mother was a little stupid. She had finally taken care of her sick parents-in-law and her husband had retired from the army. Good days were coming soon, but Shen Bijun insisted on getting a divorce. How could she not be stupid?

Who would have known that a few years later, Xiao Jingyan's biological mother passed away, and since he was a minor, Xiao Yuanshan had no choice but to bring him back to take care of him.

The result was a drama of discord between stepmother and stepson, which caused chaos in the Xiao family. It was also reported that Xiao Yuanshan had cheated on his wife, and the object of his cheating was Bai Ling.

Needless to say, everyone knows who did it.

A few years later, the wind direction changed again, and Xiao Yuanshan became a scumbag who abandoned his wife and children.

It is not difficult to imagine that the affairs of the Xiao family have become a topic of conversation for many people after dinner, adding a lot of excitement to the new year.

Many people know that the He family and the Xiao family are on good terms, and the most important thing is that Xiao Jingyan is He Yunzhou’s apprentice.

If something happens to the Xiao family, the He family won’t be affected.

Anyone who came to the He family under the pretext of New Year's greetings to inquire about news.

The He family all responded with the same statement, clearly stating that they were unaware of the inside story. The two families only visited each other during the holidays, and apart from interacting more with Xiao Jingyan, they did not have much contact with his family members.

Lin Nuan had thoroughly witnessed the acting skills of everyone in the He family that day.

There is no denial of the relationship between her and Xiao Jingyan between the lines, and it clearly shows that she loves and pities him as an elder does a younger person.

What about the other members of the Xiao family?

hehe……

There's nothing much to say.

Lin Nuan couldn't help but worry about Xiao Jingyan. Was he unhappy during this New Year? Or was he very happy?

She felt like there were two more little people in her mind, both of them were smaller Q versions of Xiao Jingyan.

An expression that looked a little lonely.

One of them was standing with his hands on his hips, looking up to the sky and laughing.
