“When the president found out about this, he was very angry. He immediately ordered a strict investigation. That’s how he eventually found out that the person who subcontracted the construction of the road was actually your uncle.”
“Was Uncle not aware of this?” Wu Pingting asked, her face flushed. She was so angry it seemed like she was about to erupt.
“How could he have known? As governor, he had too many things to worry about. This road wasn’t even a main road, but a mere village road. If the people below him did not mention the road, he definitely would not know about this. But if the subordinates received orders from their higher-ups to subcontract this road, they definitely would not dare to talk about it. Thus, it’s likely that they understood the hints from their higher-ups to help subcontract this road. Your uncle did not know anything about this.
“After this incident, your uncle was very angry and ordered a strict investigation along with severe punishment. In the end, the investigation led us back to him. Before he could react, he was taken away by the Ministry of Justice. It was all so sudden. We didn’t even get a chance to respond. From the looks of it now, it seems like he was betrayed by the people closest to him a long time ago.”
Nangong Nuannuan finally understood. She said, “Uncle Wu should carry his personal seal on him at all times. So, the only possibility is that Wu Zongxu somehow stole Uncle Wu’s personal seal and forged the contract. That’s why Uncle Wu ended up dealing with the brunt of the problem.”
Wu Jingcheng sighed and nodded.
“Why would Wu Zongxu do that? Isn’t he Uncle Wu’s son? Things will be way better for him if Uncle Wu is let off. What motive does he have fordoing this?” Sze Lingyun’s heart bled as she added to the conversation.
Nuannuan had just told her about the Wu family’s family makeup. She knew that Uncle Wu had never been married and did not have any biological children. He had adopted Wu Zongxu at a young age and raised him as his own son. She did not understand why Wu Zongxu would want to harm Uncle Wu when he had been such a good father figure, saving him from the pain of being an orphan and giving him such a good family.
To her, describing him as a pig or a dog was an understatement for the anger she currently felt.
“I also want to know why he would do this. Dad, didn’t you send him to the police station? I want to ask him why he was so cruel and how he benefits from all this!” Wu Pingting chimed in angrily.
“Okay!” Wu Jingcheng also wanted to get answers, so he stood up without another word.
...
“I want to go too!” Wu Jingmin, her third aunt, also stood up.
“Then let’s go together!” Elder Wu was also furious. They all wanted answers.
“Then we’ll go together. I want to go too.” Since she had been involved with this from the very beginning, Nuannuan stood up and wanted to follow as well.
If Nuannuan wanted to go, Chi Yang definitely had to go. Sze Lingyun abhorred evil, so she also wanted to go. Therefore, when Yin Ge’s people arrived, the group followed the police to the police station.

After Chi Yang greeted Yin Ge, the police called Wu Zongxu into a separate interrogation room.
The moment he saw Wu Pingting and her family, Wu Zongxu’s tears started to fall like rain.
“Grandpa, Grandpa, save me! It’s so dark here at night. I don’t want to live here! Grandpa, I know I did wrong. I won’t ever do something so awful again. Please spare me! I’ll be good to you when I return. I’ll be good to dad. I’ll be good to Pingting!”
