CHAPTER 333: CHAPTER 275: WHO HELPED?

Ming Zuoshun had never seen such a fierce young lady before; she was simply brainless.

Thank goodness his son wasn’t the one who married her, or else he definitely wouldn’t have allowed such a stupid woman to enter his family.

She couldn’t even manage the most basic aspects of being a person.

Qin Ye’s expression remained calm. "I don’t know what kind of relationship the Ming and Qin Families have, but I have no dealings with your family, and I’m not someone you can harm at will. Whoever has done wrong must face the consequences of the law."

As the two confronted each other, Old Sir Qin arrived. "Ming Zuoshun, what have you done to my grandson?"

When Ming Zuoshun heard Old Man Qin’s voice, he cursed his bad luck in his heart.

"Mr. Qin, your timing is perfect. Although my daughter Liping meant well but mishandled the situation, the police station let them go, which proves that this has nothing to do with them. Your granddaughter-in-law...clinging on and not letting go, even resorting to violence, don’t you think that’s a bit too much?"

"How could it be too much? Such a malicious act... Ming Zuoshun, the bonsai was sent by your daughter, and the items were bought by the wife you married later. Only the two of them know what they were really thinking when they kept it."

Old Sir Qin spoke sharply, "Thinking you can absolve yourself of harming someone with just a few words, that’s simply not possible. Don’t treat others like fools. My granddaughter-in-law is a person of good nature and full of a sense of justice. She can’t stand someone who resorts to such underhanded methods to harm others. What’s wrong with her sending the two culprits back to the police station?"

Ming Zuoshun hadn’t expected Old Man Qin to dismiss the sentiments as well.

"Mr. Qin, this is all a misunderstanding..."

"Stop talking to me about misunderstandings. Your daughter Ming Liping wanted to marry Qin Zhen and failed, then sent gifts to my grandson, and it turned out to be things associated with infertility. What were your intentions? If the Ming Family doesn’t give the Qin Family an explanation, don’t blame this old man for turning against you."

After Old Sir Qin’s ultimatum, he looked at Qin Ye. "What are you standing there for, boy? Go help your wife. If the police station releases those two criminals again today, then don’t bother coming back."

Qin Ye immediately nodded in affirmation. "Yes."

Then, he turned and left without hesitation.

Ming Zuoshun: ...

Are the Qin family poisoned?

Just then, three uniformed officers approached Ming Zuoshun. "Are you Ming Zuoshun?"

When Ming Zuoshun saw them, he had a very bad feeling.

That Qin... he seemed to have mentioned a formal report, so they came so quickly?

Is it really that quick?

He had no time to think further, "I am Ming Zuoshun, may I ask what this is about?"

"Someone has formally reported you for using your public office to accept valuable property from others and for engaging in illegal operations in office. Please come with us to assist with the investigation."

Ming Zuoshun felt a bit panicked inside, but he calmed down quickly, not letting the panic show on his face.

"Comrade, I think there may be a misunderstanding. How could I possibly do such a thing? This is definitely defamation... If there’s no evidence, you can’t just take me away for investigation because of such an allegation."

"It’s not without evidence. We’ve come here after verifying the facts. Now, please come with us."

These words dropped like a bombshell, shocking not only Ming Zuoshun but also the onlookers.

They’ve already verified it?

Doesn’t that mean it’s a fact?

Ming Zuoshun couldn’t believe his own ears.

Even if Qin Ye had reported him in the morning, how could it be verified so quickly?

If that was the case, it meant the Qin family was behind this.

He turned his head, looking at the elder, "Old Master Qin, there’s no need for our families to create such conflict, right? As we said, my daughter really didn’t know there was a problem with the bonsai. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be foolish enough to provide such a huge handle against herself. Isn’t your family being too excessive here?"

Old Sir Qin was instantly infuriated by these words, "Pah! If you hadn’t done anything wrong, would the investigators come looking for you? Didn’t you hear that the allegations have been confirmed?"

Ming Zuoshun didn’t want to leave. If he did, his reputation would be half-ruined.

Just then, a figure stepped out from the crowd... the first son of the Ming family and Ming Zuoshun’s elder brother—Ming Zuowang.

"Second brother, you go with them first and cooperate with the investigation. If you are innocent, clear cooperation is all you need."

Hearing his elder brother’s words, Ming Zuoshun had no choice but to swallow any other retorts. "Okay, elder brother, I trust the organization."

Then, with a righteous stance, he addressed the investigators, "Comrades, I will go with you. I trust the organization will restore my innocence."

The investigators didn’t comment on his words.

"Let’s go."

Ming Zuoshun was thus taken away.

The onlookers: ...

They had come to watch a fight between three young ladies.

Instead, they witnessed a shockingly huge scoop.

The second son of the Ming family was taken away by an investigative team.

For the Ming and Qin Families...they would likely become sworn enemies now.

"Old Mister Qin, although my second brother might be a bit muddled, he wouldn’t make such a mistake on serious matters... I hope our Ming and Qin Families won’t become enemies over a small matter."

"If he hasn’t made a mistake, would the investigative team come for him? Enough, don’t give me all this nonsense. Show whatever strength you’ve got! But let me be clear... the evidence against him wasn’t provided by the Qin Family. Moreover, you dared to harm my grandson and his wife, so our issue with your Ming Family isn’t over yet."

After dropping these words, he turned and left.

Ming Zuowang: ...

The report must have been orchestrated by his grandson Qin Ye, so how could the materials not be from the Qin Family? His own head would roll if they weren’t.

A country bumpkin, where would he get the evidence?

Exhaling a deep breath, he turned to walk back.

This matter had to be resolved.

Otherwise, the Ming family’s reputation would be completely ruined.

The main thing was to consult his father on how to handle this mess... how to flip this disaster around.

It made him angry just thinking about it—the more his younger brother aged, the more ridiculous he became.

First, he went against the family’s wishes to marry Xu Ke, and now this had happened.

On the other end, Old Master Qin had also returned home.

He was puzzled about the source of Qin Ye’s report.

Could it be the research institute?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

But why... why would the research institute be willing to go to such lengths for Qin Ye?

This would have to wait until Qin Ye returned.

Meanwhile, Rong Yan, dragging... or rather, should say hauling, Xu Ke and Ming Liping into the police station.

Just then, Qi Yan caught sight of her formidable strength and couldn’t help twitching at the corner of his mouth.

Ming Liping, seeing that it was Qi Yan, cried out eagerly, "Qi Yan, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and arrest this woman, she hit me..."

Being dragged like this the entire way, she lost all her dignity and face.

At that moment, all she could feel was hatred... she wished the wretched woman a miserable end.

Xu Ke, as if seeing a savior, called out in a rush, "She hit us, it’s illegal, we want to report her, hurry and arrest her."

Qi Yan: ...

Their faces really were quite battered.

All by Qin Zhen’s sister-in-law? Was she really that formidable?
