"I'll call my classmates to ask about the situation. My cousin and second aunt can also look for other people. If we work together, the efficiency will be higher." Huang Wanzhen, whose mood had recovered a lot, took the opportunity to leave the backyard and returned to Jixiang Hall.
He waved to Xiang Xiulan and told her to go to the street to buy some fresh fruits and snacks, and go to the backyard to entertain Tao Dongshi and her daughter. He also invited Huang Dongshi over on the pretext that there was something going on in the shop.
"Mom, my classmate just told me that Qiu Guangrong is behind this. He sent something to the assistant manager and wants to identify my second uncle and cousin as the main culprits. What's going on with my sister? Have you been in touch recently? Has she said anything to you?"
Mrs. Huang was stunned when she heard this. She racked her brains but couldn't think of a problem with her eldest daughter. "How could it be? Why would someone surnamed Qiu harm your second uncle and his family?"
Huang Wanzhen was furious. "What are you talking about? How could you be so stupid? You just want to bully me! Can you please control your daughter? Don't let her suffer. It will only bring pain to her loved ones and joy to her enemies."
Huang Dong's lips trembled slightly. She opened her mouth as if wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.
Seeing her like this, Huang Wanzhen felt a little regretful. She had just spoken harshly, but after taking a few deep breaths, she regained her patience and carefully analyzed the situation for Mrs. Huang. "It's most likely for profit. Didn't you say before that my sister's dowry fell into Qiu Guangrong's hands? He's willing to invest this time, probably for a bigger profit. I guess it's the money from selling our house."
Huang Wanzhen sighed inwardly. It was too difficult for a woman to keep the money in her hands. There would always be someone who knew the truth and was interested in it.
"What should we do? More money means more trouble. Why not just give it to them? I don't ask for anything, I just want you to be safe." Huang Dong said naively.
Huang Wanzhen shook her head helplessly. "It's too late. Qiu Guangrong must know how much we sold it for, but how much have you spent over the years? We gave it to him so easily this time. He'll think we still have some. Even if we make up for what you spent, he'll still think you have some. He'll keep squeezing us until every last drop of blood is drained from us."
Since ancient times, those who have money but no power will be slaughtered like fat pigs. Huang Wanzhen never expected that one day she would fall into such a situation.
Huang Wanzhen, who originally did not want to get involved in politics, now had red eyes and vowed to climb up. She did not want power, but she wanted the right to protect her own safety.
Huang Dongshi could no longer hold back her tears, and they fell down quickly. "How could this happen? What should your sister do? I have long advised her not to follow him without any status, but she refused to listen."
Huang Wanzhen interrupted her, "What's the point of saying this? You can hardly save yourself."
"Oh my God! The government is counting dollars and calculating people's lives. How can we live like this?" Mrs. Huang grabbed Huang Wanzhen's arm and said, "How about asking Chairman Song? I think she's a good person. Isn't her brother also in the police department? With a family background like that, she can't be worse than Qiu Guangrong."
Huang Wanzhen's face paled and sank. "Qiu Guangrong is a ruthless and opportunistic man. Although his family background is inferior, his position is the same as Song Wenbin's: a police officer."
"The point is, Qiu Guangrong bribed the people above him. How could the Song family possibly offend their own child's superiors for us?"
"You shouldn't have given my sister so much money in the first place. Now, Qiu Guangrong is using your money to bribe his superiors to harm your own brother and nephew."
"Who could have thought it would be like this? If I had known, I would never have given it to her." Mrs. Huang Dong covered her chest with her hands, looking heartbroken. "Your eldest sister is the troublemaker. No, I have to get that dowry back."
Huang Wanzhen no longer had the courage to roll her eyes. She simply held out her hand and said, "Give me all the money you have left. If you keep it in your hands, it will become a disaster sooner or later."
On Monday, Huang Wanzhen did not go to class. She took Huang Dongshi to Citibank and transferred the money in her name to her own name. Then she went to John's Hospital without stopping.
"Why are you here for rehabilitation again? You are the patient with the best recovery under my care, and you are still not satisfied? Don't come next time, it's a waste of money." Shen Junyan brought Huang Wanzhen to the rehabilitation room. He didn't give her the equipment or take out the notebook to record, and started training directly.
Huang Wanzhen originally wanted to find Chu Yanzhi. After all, he still owed her a favor. He was reluctant to use it before, but now he has to use it. However, Chu Yanzhi has not contacted her since the last time they had Western food.
Huang Wanzhen knew without thinking that Chu Yanzhi must have shown her information to his parents, and his parents disagreed. So Huang Wanzhen could be considered to have registered with Director Chu.
If Director Chu received the news that Chu Yanzhi was "seeking justice" for his uncle, he would most likely stop it. Then her sacrifice would make the favor owed to Chu Yanzhi go to waste, and she didn't want that.
"Hey! Doctor Shen, you can't just abandon me. I'm the real person in your brochure. If I get worse, it will definitely affect your lofty ambitions!" Huang Wanzhen teased for a moment, then changed the subject and said in a depressed tone, "Actually, I came to see you today because I encountered a life-or-death situation. I wanted to ask you for advice."
Shen Junyan then looked up at Huang Wanzhen. "A matter of life and death? Is it really that exaggerated?"
Huang Wanzhen took a deep breath and started talking about the arrest of Dong Yuzhuo and Dong Ruixin. She said what she could say and concealed what she couldn't say. Finally, she concluded,
"I don't know what to do now. I definitely want to save them, but Qiu Guangrong is clearly targeting our family. It's so hard to make money in this society, and it's even harder to keep it. In the past two years, my mother has spent a lot of the money from selling the house. Even my sister's dowry that Qiu Guangrong took away was bought with that money. We can't make up for it at all."
"You can make up for it, but you can't," Shen Junyan said righteously, "If you give them so much money so easily, they will think you have more money. Otherwise, why would they hand over so much money so easily?"
"You have no idea how those people eat. How despicable they are! Even if you're reduced to eating coarse grains and vegetables, they'll still suspect you're just pretending to be poor. If you compromise, you'll end up dead."
"Then what should I do? I just want the police department to give my uncle and cousin justice. They are both reckless men with no background and no ability to resell arms. They helped move the goods, so they are guilty, but their crime does not deserve the death penalty!"
Shen Junyan said with a bad face, "It's easy to return justice, but what's not easy is what you're going to do in the future. Qiu Guangrong is a police officer, and it's easy for him to deal with your family. Even if we solve it this time, there might be a next time, and a next time."
