Chapter 769: One Evil Thought of Yours Ruined My Son's Entire Life

Old Liu looked up at the Gongan Bureau officers, seeing they truly intended to take them away, and dared not hesitate any longer: "I'll speak, I'll speak."

He thought that once he spoke, it would be fine, after all, Liu Shanliang was alive and well: "We were foolish. Seeing the woman entrusted with our care of the child act so generously, we harbored thoughts we should not have."

Ge Pozi, furious, punched Old Liu on the back: "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Old Liu gritted his teeth, turned, and glared viciously at her: "Didn't you see those people meant to act for real? They truly intended to take us back to the Gongan Bureau. Do you think you'd be let out if we didn't clear things up?"

Hearing these words, Ge Pozi remembered things people had told her before and shivered directly.

The villagers outside, hearing Old Liu's words, said: "Look, he confessed. It really was the child they deliberately swapped, just so their own son could live a good life."

"Truly black-hearted. Shanliang is so pitiful; he could have lived a good life, but the Old Lius ruined it, forcing him to spend so many years in the countryside living a hard life."

"Truly lacking in virtue. Before, they pretended so well in the village; not becoming actors was a waste of their talent."

"I didn't think much of it before, but now that I think about it, the things Ge Pozi said, like how her family didn't favor sons over daughters, or that a nephew would support them in old age, were probably calculated long ago. Only because the second branch had no son could they plan to have them work like cattle and horses for their family for a lifetime."

"Indeed, I never expected this old couple to have such vicious intentions."

With their hypocritical masks torn off, the Old Liu couple dared not even lift their heads.

Several Gongan Bureau officers left the two standing there while two of them began walking through the crowd of onlookers, interviewing and taking notes.

Another officer began negotiating with several village cadres.

After the two officers who had been interviewing and taking notes returned, the officer who had been questioning them earlier said to the Party Secretary and the Village Head: "We still have to take them back. After all, they have broken the law. The other side raised their son as a treasure, arranged a job for him, and gave him a house, yet they treated that son like cattle and horses."

The Party Secretary had wanted to plead for mercy, but hearing these words, he truly could not bring himself to speak.

Seeing they truly intended to take the people away, Liu Shangan, after all, was the son: "You cannot take them away. They did a foolish thing, but at least my parents raised the second son into adulthood."

Someone who had a grudge against Liu Shangan spoke up then: "They raised him, but what kind of life did he live? You really are making excuses for your parents."

At this moment, Xiao Laoyezi Xiao, having just finished the family recognition ceremony, led his entire family into the Liu family courtyard.

Seeing Liu Shanliang leading them, everyone consciously made way.

As Xiao Laoyezi Xiao entered, he happened to hear Liu Shangan's words: "Do you know what kind of life your biological brother lived in Hai City? What kind of education he received from childhood, what unit he joined after growing up, and what kind of house he lived in? How dare you spout such nonsense here?"

Xiao Laoyezi Xiao was an old revolutionary who had truly come from battlefields filled with smoke and gunpowder; his aura was needless to say. With these consecutive questions, Liu Shangan's forehead broke out in sweat, and he swallowed several times: "I, I..."

In the end, he said nothing.

Xiao Laoyezi Xiao stared at Old Liu: "One evil thought of yours ruined my son's entire life; how could I possibly let it go like this?"

The fact that his son did not grow up by his side was one thing, but allowing a fake to enjoy the blessings meant for his son was something he simply could not swallow; he could not return virtue for resentment.

He addressed the three Gongan Bureau officers: "As a father, I must seek justice for my son. Please handle this according to the normal judicial procedures."
