With those words, Liu Qi continued, "Comrade police officer, does our family look like one that needs to commit theft?"
Theft?
It’s simply nonexistent!
Their family wasn’t struggling to get by!
Murder attempt was even more unlikely, as they had just arrived in Beijing not long ago and hadn’t made any enemies!
The police officer said sternly, "Comrade Liu Qi, do you think we, the police, would joke about such matters? The crime suspects Jiu Wentang, Liu Qinian, and Liu Ru and others were caught red-handed by the villagers of Jinghua Village! You better come with us to the station!"
Liu Qi’s smile froze at the corner of his mouth. "Okay, okay, just wait for me a moment!"
On the way, Liu Qi simply couldn’t believe this was happening.
It wasn’t until he reached the police station that he was willing to accept this wasn’t a dream.
How could this be?
Why would his parents and sister do such a thing?
The family was split up and locked away. Upon seeing Liu Qi, Jiu Wentang became very agitated, "Xiaoqi! Xiaoqi, you’re here! You must save Mom! She’s innocent! Go find a lawyer quick!"
Liu Qi said, "Mom, don’t worry, I’ll find you a lawyer right away! As long as you haven’t done those things, I believe the police comrades will release you after they have investigated properly!"
Liu Qi still couldn’t believe that his always gentle and kind mother could do such a thing.
There must be some misunderstanding!
In contrast to Jiu Wentang, Liu Qinian seemed especially calm, sitting in the Interrogation Room, he seemed to have aged overnight, "These things were all done by me alone! They have nothing to do with my wife and child! They were all kept in the dark by me!"
Hearing this, Liu Qi was stunned.
So...
It turned out they really did these unforgivable deeds!
Why?
Why would they do such a thing?
"Dad!" Liu Qi rushed out, "Why? Why did you do this?"
Faced with his furious son, Liu Qinian chose to remain silent.
Liu Qi’s eyes turned red.
He never imagined that his father, who was always a mountainous figure in his heart, could do such a thing.
Suddenly, Liu Qi felt as though the sky was falling!
His world turned dark!
Liu Qi slid down against the wall and burst into loud sobs.
He used to be a crybaby as a child, but since growing up, he had never cried again—this was the first time.
Over at Liu Ru’s side, "Comrade police officer! I’m innocent! I don’t know anything, please let me go! Everything was done by my parents, I was asleep in the car at that time, I didn’t know anything! Please let me out, okay?"
Seeing the red-eyed Liu Qi, Liu Ru clung to him like a lifeline, "Brother, please save me! All this was done by Mom and Dad! I really didn’t know! I didn’t know anything!"
"Brother! Please save me! I don’t want to be locked up here! I want to get out!"
Liu Qi was Liu Ru’s lifeline, but Liu Ru became the last straw that broke Liu Qi.
Why?
