All Sze Junyan could do was look at Chi Yang, who was giving orders to the policemen now, with a terrified expression. He did not dare to shift his gaze even a little bit. He was afraid that if his gaze accidentally landed on Nangong Nuannuan, it would attract Chi Yang’s displeasure and bring him even greater disaster.
He finally saw that Chi Yang had a strong background. Otherwise, this policeman would not have saluted him immediately after seeing Chi Yang’s officer’s badge and even listened to his every word.
Sze Junyan, who had been so stuck-up because his family had been going to get at least five houses, was now like a bug trapped in a gutter, not daring to say a word. He had gone to school, so he knew that as long as he had not committed a crime, he would not be in any trouble. He had not conspired with Mr. Li to send someone to kill his sister, so even if he had to go to the police station, he would cooperate with the investigation and avoid jail time.
Therefore, when the police came to take him away, Sze Junyan, who Nangong Nuannuan thought would fight back the hardest, was actually the most obedient and calmest.
On the other hand, Sze Lingyun’s mother was the kind of scoundrel who often threw caution to the wind. Even when facing the police, she still had the courage to resist.
“What right do you have to arrest us? We’re good citizens!”
“Yes, we are! Aren’t you going a little too far?” Mr. Sze was also frightened by the police. He did his best to retaliate.
“I want to go home! Mom, Dad, I want to go home! I don’t want to go to jail!” Hu Han and Hu Yin, the two sisters, cried and hugged each other tightly. They did not want the police to take them away.
When their mother saw this, she looked pleadingly at Sze Lingyun and asked, “Yunyun, look… Aren’t we doing this for your own good? Your Mom said that your house was going to be demolished. If you can marry someone before she signs the demolition agreement, you’ll have one more person on your household registry to share the compensation with. One more person means one more house, so your marriage definitely has to happen! After we knew that you had to marry, we wanted to introduce you to Mr. Li. Yunyun, we really think that he’s a very successful man. He’ll give you a good future. That’s why we decided to introduce him to your mother. Your mother was extremely satisfied with him. We didn’t know that he wanted to harm you! You have to believe us!”
“I believe you!”
Sze Lingyun’s words made a surprised smile bloom on each of her family members’ faces.
Mrs. Sze was about to ask Sze Lingyun to tell Chi Yang to revoke his orders to the policemen before Sze Lingyun said, “You were definitely not involved in the attempted murder case. After all, you want me to get married. If I do marry, my brother gets another house, and I get to marry that greasy man in his 40s. No matter how he treats me, as our introducer, you’ll be able to squeeze a lot of money out of him. I’m not a person to you at all, just a tool to use whenever convenient.”
“You wretched girl! Can’t you see that we’re doing this for your own good?! We…”
“Bah!”
The police officer did not care how old Mrs. Sze was. After all, this woman was not his mother, and he knew that she was a bad person. He said, “You scum! Trying to sell your own daughter off! Trying to marry your beautiful daughter off to a 40-year-old man so you can get another house. And you still have the face to scold her? What’s the difference between this and human trafficking? Trust me, I’ll make sure you go to jail for a long, long time.”
