Chapter 368 Confession (2)_1
"Just now, a bunch of people burst in and took away my parents, my eldest uncle, and aunt. Grandma even fainted from the shock. Grandpa isn’t doing any better, sitting there motionless. Auntie, please go check on them," Liu Chaojie was clearly terrified by the commotion that had occurred earlier at home.
"I’m coming down right away," Liu Yun paused before descending the stairs, "Wait, I’ll go wake your uncle." Thinking of the mainstay of the family, her husband, she hurriedly went to rouse Xiao Guobing. "Guobing, wake up, something’s happened to our family, get up quick."
"What’s going on? Did my dad call?" Xiao Guobing was groggy with sleep.
"No, it’s my brother and sister-in-law, they’ve been taken away. Hurry up, we need to go downstairs and check," said Liu Yun, her words immediately snapped Xiao Guobing to full alertness. He "swooshed" to a sitting position. "What do you mean taken away? What happened?"
"I don’t know what’s going on. Ah Jie doesn’t know either, we should go downstairs and ask my parents."
With their nightclothes still on, Xiao Guobing and Liu Yun didn’t bother to change, heading straight downstairs.
Downstairs, they saw Old Master Liu sitting on the sofa, looking a shadow of his former spirited self, seemingly aged several years. Ole Lady Liu had awakened by then and was sitting on a nearby sofa, incessantly wiping away tears.
When Ole Lady Liu saw her daughter and son-in-law come down, it was as if she’d seen her saviors. "Guobing, Xiaoyi, you must find a way to help your two elder brothers."
"Mom, what exactly happened?" Liu Yun sat next to her mother, gently patting her back as she asked.
"Your brothers, they were taken away by the Discipline Inspection Committee. I’m not very clear on the specifics, but the situation is definitely not good. I just called a few old friends who used to have good relations with me. But the moment I started speaking, they hung up. Some didn’t even answer my calls. Yet, there were also those who warned me that this time the situation is tricky; the higher-ups have been investigating the Liu Family for some time already." It was Old Master Liu who answered Liu Yun.
"Guobing, could you please call your father for me, see if you can ask him what’s going on? I think your father might know more than we do," Old Master Liu looked at Xiao Guobing, full of hope.
