Chapter 176: Such a Huge Miscarriage of Justice!
"Lao Si, what do you mean by this? I’m your real uncle, yes, I brought Dazhuang them over because we wanted to ask your mom to borrow some money. We haven’t even mentioned it yet, and you’re already saying you’ve lost something. How can you blame it on our Liu Family? We didn’t take anything."
"That’s right, Auntie, we just came over for a family visit. Did we go to the wrong place or something? During the meal, you were all sweet-talking, saying we’re all one family. Now look, before I’ve even finished speaking, you’re suspecting us. What do you mean, Jiaxuan? Everyone who’s been inside that room is a suspect? Then nobody in this courtyard can escape blame. Ha, who knows if it was someone from your own family who stole and waited for us to come over to pin it on us? Look, even Auntie here, if we’re going to the Police Station, then let’s all go."
The Liu Family members were arguing red-faced, refusing to admit that they took anything. However, Liu Sanjin didn’t think so. She knew exactly what her relatives were like; just by looking at Da Zhuang’s wife’s sly and furtive demeanor, she knew this woman must have secretly taken something. As soon as Lao Si mentioned going to the Police Station, she was scared stiff; without a doubt, it had to be her.
"Hey hey hey, cousin, you can’t talk so absolutely like that. I’ve got nothing to do with this. I was just bringing over some food, quickly chatted in the main room, and then left. Don’t drag me into this, alright? It has nothing to do with me. Zhenping, you keep watch here; I’m going to relieve myself."
After Shen Meng finished speaking, she left. As she turned around and walked out the door, she disappeared in a flash; no one could catch her in time to call after her.
Liu Sanjin felt an overwhelming disgust. The family was such a mess, and Shen Meng didn’t think about helping to solve the problem, just stirring up more trouble.
Everyone’s eyes turned to Lu Zhenping, who appeared calm on the surface, but was actually a bit shocked. When he was in the military, even the most capable infantry soldiers didn’t seem to disappear as quickly as Shen Meng just did.
Although Shen Meng disappeared quickly, what she said wasn’t wrong. She arrived when everyone in the old courtyard was eating; she definitely mentioned... asked for New Year’s gift money and left, she never went into Lu Jiaxuan and Zhou Jiaojiao’s room, so it absolutely could not have been her.
