Chapter 1407: How Did So Many of Them Get In?

~4 min read 684 words

Fu Yan Cheng, worried that Liu Chuxue might get jostled by the crowd, took her directly to the neighboring house: "Sister Feng, are you home?"

Tang Xinrui had been working while listening to the commotion next door; she never expected to look up and see Vice Regiment Commander Fu with his wife, followed by Vice Battalion Commander Shen and his wife, so she quickly rose to invite them in.

Liu Chuxue was momentarily stunned upon seeing Tang Xinrui: "Sister, I didn't expect this to be your home?"

Tang Xinrui wiped her hands on her apron and said with a smile: "Yes, I've long wanted you to come over and get to know the place, but we just never happened to meet. Now it's perfect; come sit whenever you're free, and we can chat."

Hearing the noise from Instructor Guo's side grow louder, Fu Yan Cheng quickly explained his purpose: "Sister, I remember when you built that storage room at the back, you specifically constructed steps leading to the roof?"

Tang Xinrui understood immediately: "Back then, my child was small and always causing trouble in the yard, so I thought about drying vegetables on the roof, but I was worried the wooden ladder wasn't safe, so my husband picked up some stones and built steps."

Saying this, she led them over there: "Let me get you a few corn husk mats; it will be more comfortable for you to sit on."

She also called out to Mo Ruhua and the others to come up as well.

After settling everyone, Fu Yan Cheng said to Tang Xinrui: "Sister, thank you for the trouble."

Then, looking at Mo Ruhua, he said: "Help me take good care of her."

Liu Chuxue saw him still lingering and said: "Hurry over to help; what could possibly happen to us here at Sister's?"

After Fu Yan Cheng and Shen Kaiyuan went down, they quickly arrived next door.

At that moment, Chen Tiantian's former mother-in-law led people forward to grab Chen Tiantian, scaring the child into crying directly.

A military wife stepped forward to protect the child, preventing them from touching the child, but there were many people from the Chen family who had followed, and the courtyard was thrown into chaos.

Someone whispered: "How did so many of them get in?"

"Not sure, but without someone leading them, they certainly couldn't have entered."

At this time, not only Fu Yan Cheng and Shen Kaiyuan, but also Vice Battalion Commander Sun, who lived on the other side of Instructor Guo's house, entered the courtyard; several people spoke at once: "Stop."

Seeing so many people in four-pocket military uniforms enter together, those people were somewhat panicked.

However, the old woman who claimed to be Chen Tiantian's grandmother suddenly knelt in the courtyard: "Leaders, you must stand up for this old woman. This woman not only refuses to stay for my deceased son, but she has also taken away the only bloodline of my son."

"We finally managed to find out she married someone in the army, so we rushed here with our family, just wanting to take the child back and raise him well, but this woman kept making excuses and refused, so we had to use force. Please, leaders, help this old woman."

Fu Yan Cheng coldly scanned those few people: "You knew Instructor Guo wasn't in the army, so you specifically chose today to come, didn't you?"

Hearing these words, those few people were instantly startled; how did this person know? They couldn't help but look at the old woman of the Chen family.

However, this Chen Pozi seemed to be a person of some stature; after a brief moment of panic, she immediately calmed down: "Leaders, your words are unjust; it was merely a coincidence, a lucky accident."

Fu Yan Cheng, however, continued calmly: "Do you know where this is?"

The old woman glanced at the onlookers: "Why do you ask that? If we didn't know, we wouldn't have come, would we?"

Fu Yan Cheng's voice grew even colder: "Then tell me, how did so many of you get in?"
