Chapter 1408: Will Not Endure Even a Fraction More

Old Chen was momentarily speechless, stammering for a long time without uttering a single complete sentence.

Fu Yan Cheng stopped looking at the Chen family and turned instead to the disheveled Wang Sangyu: "Sister-in-law, you tell us what happened."

Wang Sangyu clutched her daughter tightly in her arms. Thinking of all the bitterness she had endured before, she swept her gaze over her former in-laws, her eyes filled with icy coldness. "When my late husband was alive, my former mother-in-law looked down on me and even more so on the daughter I bore. Every day she found new ways to curse my daughter as a money-losing good."

Because of this, my late husband had several unpleasant quarrels with his mother. My former mother-in-law believed it was all due to my instigation, causing the rift between her son and herself.

However, since my late husband handed over his monthly wages, my mother-in-law eventually softened her stance and, in front of my late husband, promised never to treat us mother and daughter that way again.

But her words were sweet only on the surface. Whenever my late husband was not at home, that old woman would oppress us mother and daughter even more fiercely. In that house, I did the most work, ate the worst food, and had to live every day under curses.

She thought that as long as my late husband didn't see it, everything would be fine. But by sheer coincidence, one time my late husband returned early and happened to catch her beating and scolding us mother and daughter, leading to the most intense argument between mother and son.

Not long after that incident, my late husband, who worked at a transportation company, met with an accident. The old woman actually blamed the matter on us mother and daughter, claiming that if it weren't for our bad fate, my late husband would not have met with trouble.

Furthermore, in order to monopolize the compensation money from my late husband, she conspired with everyone in the family to drive us mother and daughter out of that house overnight.

It was not at all as she claimed, that I was unwilling to remain faithful to my late husband and had taken the child away on my own. You can investigate that.

As for what act they are putting on today, based on my understanding of them, I fear it will not be simple."

Remembering something, she gritted her teeth and said, "I put my words here: I will not let them take my daughter away, unless I die."

Having finished speaking, she looked at Fu Yan Cheng: "Deputy Regiment Commander Fu, my husband Old Guo has not been with the unit these past few days, yet they chose precisely this time to come and cause trouble. I believe there is something fishy about this. I beg the unit to take charge for us."

Wang Sangyu was not foolish. If they could come at this time, they must have had some scheme in mind. I am sure it would be easy to find out with a proper investigation. As for who brought them in today, that person was likely outsmarted by their own cleverness.

The reason she had endured such humiliation in the Chen family before was that her late husband had treated her well, and she was willing to endure it for him and for her daughter. Now, she would certainly not endure even a fraction more.

Hearing the account from Wang Sangyu, the victim, Fu Yan Cheng raised his voice: "Bring a few people over and take them to the interrogation room to see who sent them here to cause trouble."

The few people who had come with Old Chen panicked, their faces changing instantly: "We just came to help hold up the scene. As for what you said, we know nothing about it."

Someone, in their desperation, pulled Old Chen: "You explain yourself quickly."

Fu Yan Cheng had no time to waste on them; vegetables were still stewing on his own stove. "This is not a place where whatever you say goes. Since you dared to come and cause trouble, you must bear the consequences. Take them away first; we will discuss it after our investigation."

Old Chen was truly panicked now: "We haven't broken any laws. You cannot detain us. We won't take that dead girl away anymore. We won't fight. We are leaving right now."

Fu Yan Cheng would not believe her words. He would first send someone to investigate, and then see how to handle it when Instructor Guo returns tomorrow.
