In the hospital, Bai Jianren opened his eyes again and saw that the person guarding him was not Boss Bai and his two companions, nor a doctor or nurse, but a public security comrade. The last spark of hope in his heart was extinguished.
His throat was burned and he couldn't speak. Bai Jianren used this as an excuse to refuse to cooperate with the investigation, hoping to live one more day.
It is better to live a miserable life than to die.
He was reluctant to part with the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry hidden in the cave. He firmly believed that as long as the police did not find any evidence, he would be able to live on in the future even if he was paralyzed.
He had beautiful ideas, but the reality was not as he wished.
When the public security comrades found a glass bottle from the secret compartment of his residence in the machinery factory and asked a doctor to identify it and confirmed that it was a poison that could harm people, it was useless for him to keep his mouth shut.
Gong Linglong took the time to send this bottle of medicine back in the afternoon, with the intention of stabbing him in the chest at the critical moment.
In the evening, Song Jinyao and Zhou Lanping returned home from get off work. When they smelled the rich aroma wafting from the kitchen, they both laughed happily: "Oh, we're in for another treat tonight."
"Comrade Song, Comrade Zhou."
Bai Shuixian was helping to add firewood in the kitchen, but now she got up and came out to welcome her master home.
"Sister, your injury hasn't healed yet. Don't go to work. Sit on the sofa and have a good rest." Zhou Lanping strode towards her.
"I didn't work. Jingchuan and Linglong were making dinner. I was sitting in front of the stove adding firewood and warming myself by the fire."
Song Jinyao handed the briefcase to his wife and said to her with a smile: "Linglong's mother, Lanping and I are a few years older than you. We are relatives now. Don't call us comrades anymore."
"Yes, yes, sister, we are a few years older. If you don't mind, just call us brother and sister."
"Okay." Bai Shuixian responded with a faint smile, "Brother Song, Sister Ping."
Lu Jingchuan and Gong Linglong also came out. They called out to their elders first, and Gong Linglong immediately went to make tea for them. "Uncle, aunt, have a cup of tea and take a rest first. Dinner will be served in ten minutes."
"My nephew's wife is so hardworking and well-behaved. You find ways to make delicious food for us all day long. When we get home from get off work, we always have a ready-made meal."
Zhou Lanping now hopes that her two sons will find two diligent and virtuous daughters-in-law in the future. Seeing her nephew taking the initiative to help in the kitchen and circling around his daughter-in-law, she smiled and said, "Our Jingchuan is blessed to marry Linglong in this life."
"That's thanks to my aunt for the big surprise she gave me." Lu Jingchuan joked.
"Ha ha..."
Speaking of this, Zhou Lanping was extremely happy. "This is fate destined by heaven. Auntie wouldn't dare take credit for it."
After the food was served, Song Jinyao took out some wine and drank a glass with his nephew. He also greeted the mother and daughter: "Sister, Linglong, Tan City has been in turmoil these days. We will be very busy with work. Jingchuan will also be leaving tomorrow. You two can stay at home and feel free to do as you please."
"Brother Song, Sister Ping, you are so busy at work. We come to bother you and end up causing you trouble." Bai Shuixian apologized.
"Family members don't say such awkward things."
Zhou Lanping served them soup and started chatting about work. "Actually, we've wanted to take action against certain people for a long time, but we haven't found the right approach, so we've been holding off. This time, what happened to you and your daughter has become the catalyst, and with the evidence Linglong risked her life to obtain, we've taken action."
Bai Shuixian understood and asked seriously: "Will the Qin family fall?"
“It must fall, but the Qin family is not that simple.”
Song Jinyao gave her a promise, took a sip of wine, and continued, "This operation has captured all of their accomplices. We have a lot of solid evidence in our hands. We can't wipe out the Qin family this time, but at least we can cut off a main branch, severely damaging their vitality. We can deal with the rest slowly."
He didn't explain it clearly, but everyone had some guesses and was looking forward to what would happen next.
"Linglong, Bai Jianren's elder brother and sister-in-law came to the hospital and are taking care of Bai Jianren today. The comrades from the Public Security Bureau have already met with them and reported that these two people obviously have bad intentions and are probably up to some evil plan. Do you want to go and meet them?" Zhou Lanping took the initiative to tell her about this.
"They are both selfish and calculating people. They will not do anything without benefits. Bai Gouzha is paralyzed and dumb. He has to rely on others to take care of him for the rest of his life. They will definitely not be kind enough to take care of him. They must have come to Tancheng with a purpose today." Gong Linglong was very sure of this.
Bai Shuixian had just slowly drunk half a bowl of soup when she spoke her guess: "They are here for Bai Jianren's savings."
"They have their own plans. How could Bai Gou Za not see that? He loves money like his life, and he values money more than his life. If they can't save him, he will definitely not give them the money."
Gong Linglong guessed that Bai Gouzha didn't have much money left. All the cash on hand was in her hands, and the private collections in the two residences were also taken away by her. All his trusted subordinates were arrested by the public security bureau, and all his private businesses were destroyed. Now the only thing left was that house.
And the property certificate of that apartment is still in her hands.
She would definitely make sure those two who were planning something were left empty-handed and had to return to Niujiao Bay in disgrace.
"They don't have the ability to save him. He has a life on his hands. The news will be reported the day after tomorrow at the latest." Zhou Lanping told the news in advance.
She didn't explain it clearly, but Bai Shuixian and Gong Linglong both guessed it. It seemed that Yang Ping's matter was really related to him, but they didn't know whether it was related to Qin Menglan. They were looking forward to the final result.
Boss Bai and Li Cuihua were hiding in Bai Jianren's house at the time. The hospital was under police supervision and they could not enter the ward at all, let alone find out where his savings were kept.
The room was so small that they searched back and forth countless times but didn't find a single penny. Now they were huddled by the firewood pile, complaining to Bai Jianren.
"Jianlin, I feel like something serious might happen to the second brother this time. We should go back quickly."
Li Cuihua was a little scared at this time. She watched the comrades from the Public Security Bureau investigating back and forth today. All the doctors and nurses in the hospital were questioned. The investigation was in great detail, which scared her so much that she panicked.
"It's certain that something happened to him."
Boss Bai also thought of it. Ever since he learned that the second brother's current miserable condition was caused by being beaten and tortured by Qin Menglan and the Qin family, he knew that the good days of the second brother were over.
But now that he was here, he was unwilling to return home empty-handed. "We'll find a way to meet him tomorrow. If he's unwilling to pay the money, we'll sell this house."
The thought of this nice house filled Bai Lao Da with resentment. "The second brother is not a good guy either. He lives in such a nice house in the city, but he never invites us to enjoy it for two days. He also hides it from us. Maybe he already knew that he is not from the Bai family, so he is deliberately avoiding us."
