Chapter 237 - 233: Money at the First Watch
Mr. Qin spoke those words and no one responded.
Qin Shouren wouldn’t care about the so-called big brother’s wellbeing, and as for Qin Miao, even less so.
Although it was never proven that his wife’s death was orchestrated by the eldest, he personally heard those two men say that emptying their wallets was Qin Shouhan’s command, but those two men can no longer be found.
But that doesn’t mean he didn’t do it, yet father told him that the eldest wasn’t that kind of person. What kind of person is he then? It’s already fortunate enough that he didn’t kick him while he was down, so expecting him to speak in favor for the eldest is out of the question. His mere presence was probably just to prevent Grandpa from offending the in-laws.
Mr. Qin spoke for a long while and when no one paid attention to him, his face turned red with anger and he stood up, pointing at Qin Shouren, "Shouren, are you really so heartless? Those were just rumors back then, do you believe them too? Your big brother’s life is at stake!"
Before Qin Shouren could retort, Qin Xi, looking indifferent, spoke first, "Grandpa, with all due respect, my father isn’t a police officer. Even if he believes my uncle is innocent, he can’t just release him from custody. Instead of getting angry here, why don’t you find out what’s actually happening? I heard at school that they found a lot of money with Qin Miao. Was that money from you, Grandpa?"
Qin Shen was about to counter but upon hearing about the money being found, he slumped back into his chair, feeling drained. Money was found with the eldest as well, could they really be spying?
Qin Shen looked hopefully at Mr. Li, his expression one of polite humility, "Mr. Li, could you please inquire about this situation? My son and granddaughter shouldn’t be spies; at most, they were blinded by money."
When Li Huai Ren heard Qin Shen finally asking him directly, he took a sip of tea and then with a sigh looked at Qin Shen, who was full of expectancy, and thought to himself with a sarcastic chuckle, huh, Li Huai Ren has always been protective of his own; when it was time to apologize for bullying his granddaughter, nobody came knocking with apologies. Now you’re here asking for a favor, thinking it would be so easy, huh!
Mr. Li responded indifferently to the hopeful Qin Shen, "Oh, like back then, you mean?"
