Chapter 99: See the Buddha All the Way to the West

Yan Qingshuang wore a look of disgust, her voice laced with anger: "What are you doing going back like this? Are you afraid your grandfather has too long a life and you want to send him off?"

Under normal circumstances, Chen Weiping would have retorted, but now that he had caused such a huge trouble: "I was just concerned about Grandpa."

But seeing her mother on the verge of exploding, she dared not provoke her and could only take a deep breath: "Understood."

He could only take his newlywed wife and head back.

What he didn't expect was that after being pointed at and talked about all the way, finally reaching his doorstep, he was stopped: "Are you Chen Weiping?"

Chen Weiping saw the person was wearing a police uniform and shrank back inexplicably: "What do you want with me?"

Chen Jiefang's eldest daughter-in-law, Miao Xiaohe, rushed forward with a worried expression: "Weiping, where are Mom and Dad?"

Chen Weiping instinctively didn't want to answer, but seeing everyone looking at him, he could only say: "They went to the hospital to pick up Grandpa."

Miao Xiaohe finally saw Hu Liru following behind Chen Weiping. Thinking of everything that had happened in the family these past two days, and the pointing and talking from the neighbors, her heart was filled with anger.

She had no intention of offering any hospitality at all, acting as if she didn't see her.

Kong Yizhang still had to rush back to the city today and had no time to wait here. He turned to a Gongan Bureau officer who had followed from the county and said: "You take a team and make the trip. I'll take them back to the bureau first."

Since Liu Chuxue had helped them so much, naturally he had to see the Buddha all the way to the West. Who else could he blame but that cold-faced King of Hell waiting at the County Gongan Bureau? He naturally had to be more forceful.

At that moment, a Gongan officer stepped forward, whispered a few words in Kong Yizhang's ear, glanced at Chen Weiping and Hu Liru beside him, and then turned to leave.

Kong Yizhang swept a cold gaze toward Chen Weiping: "Let's go, come with us."

Hu Liru shook her head in fear: "Comrade Gongan, we have already registered our marriage, really. If you don't believe me, look."

She hurriedly and tremblingly pulled the newly registered marriage certificate from her pants pocket; she really didn't want to be taken away again.

Miao Xiaohe looked shocked: "Weidong, what's going on? Do Mom and Dad know?"

Fearing the Gongan officer in front of her would suspect her, Hu Liru quickly spoke up first: "Mom and Dad accompanied us to handle it together. Sister-in-law, what do you mean?"

Because she had been pointed at quite a bit these past two days, Miao Xiaohe couldn't bring herself to like Hu Liru. Although Chen Weidong hadn't introduced her, she could guess: "After all, I haven't heard Mom and Dad mention it, so naturally I must ask for clarification."

Kong Yizhang had no time to waste words with them here. He pointed at Hu Liru: "Take her away too."

The two Gongan officers following behind stepped forward simultaneously: "Behave yourselves."

Chen Weidong panicked at this moment: "Comrade Gongan, she isn't lying. We really registered our marriage."

Kong Yizhang snatched the marriage certificate from Hu Liru's hand: "Oh, registered today."

After speaking, he looked at Chen Weidong with a mocking expression: "I heard you previously had a betrothal arranged in the countryside?"

Upon hearing these words, not only Chen Weidong, but even Hu Liru broke out in a cold sweat all over her head.

The two dared not act rashly anymore and could only follow the people to the Gongan Bureau.

On the other side, Chen Jiefang and Yan Qingshuang were just preparing to handle the discharge procedures for the old master when the Gongan officers found them.

Fortunately, the Gongan officers were very professional; they didn't enter the ward to provoke Xiao Laoyezi Chen, but waited until they came out before taking them away.

As soon as the four people arrived at the Gongan Bureau, they were separated for interrogation. Combining the testimonies, the truth was quickly revealed.

All three members of the Chen family wanted to cancel the betrothal in the countryside, but the Chen father and son were indeed unclear about the specific details. Yan Qingshuang admitted she had found Ge Xiulan, but she firmly denied asking Ge Xiulan to ruin someone's reputation, saying only that she wanted her to persuade the second branch to agree to cancel the engagement.

Yan Qingshuang didn't expect Ge Xiulan to cause such a huge incident and even implicate herself. She couldn't help but curse silently: What a fool.
