Chapter 434: He Cried Like a Sissy

My future father-in-law? Yu Dazhang was momentarily unable to process it.

Qu Wannian?

No matter how he thought it over, he couldn't come up with a second candidate.

How does this matter involve him too?

Qu Wannian and the Yu family are in cahoots?

What and what now... At this moment, Yu Dazhang's eyes had gone clear.

He truly couldn't imagine that Qu Wannian could actually be connected to his own situation.

"No, can you say it a little more clearly?"

Yu Dazhang was getting a bit anxious:

"What's my matter got to do with him?"

After all, that was Qu Tuotuo's father, his future father-in-law-to-be, so he had to get to the bottom of it.

"Don't get worked up yet." Li Jun waved his hand, signaling him to calm down:

"I also heard about it. This time Qu Wannian made a move, and from what they say it got pretty fierce, gave the Yu family a real roughing up."

At this point in the conversation, Yu Dazhang finally understood.

He recalled the last time he had seen Qu Tuotuo home, when she said the company had been busy the past couple of days and they shouldn't meet up for now.

Qu Tuotuo hadn't lied—she really was busy.

Busy dealing with the Yu family.

Teaming up with her old man, she'd gone bayonets-charging at the Yu family.

Those two, father and daughter, really are something else... Yu Dazhang couldn't quite say what he was feeling at this moment.

You could've at least discussed it with me first!

The Yu family is, after all, a business—if anything happened to you two, even if he became a live-in son-in-law he still couldn't repay this favor.

He usually saw Old Qu as a pretty steady person—how could he act so childishly when doing things?

Way too unreliable... Yu Dazhang felt his blood pressure about to spike.

After leaving the office, he immediately called Qu Tuotuo.

The moment it connected, he asked straight out:

"You people made a move on the Yu family?"

"What nonsense." Qu Tuotuo replied:

"Who told you that?"

Practically everyone in both political and business circles knows, so it's just me being kept in the dark... Yu Dazhang placed his hand over his heart and took a deep breath:

"Are you taking me for a fool?"

His tone was a bit heavy, but more than that, helpless.

"We'll talk tonight, talk when we meet tonight."

Qu Tuotuo on the other end of the line pretended to be very busy:

"It's working hours now, you focus on work, personal matters after we get off."

After saying that, she hurriedly hung up the phone.

Yu Dazhang stared at the hung-up phone in his hand, dazed for a long while without coming back to himself.

This was her going to strategize with Old Qu.

No need to think about it—come tonight when they meet, her explanation would definitely be something she'd agreed on with Old Qu.

Playing games with me now... Yu Dazhang was already considering whether to get her pregnant with a little piglet ahead of schedule.

Afternoon.

Outside the First Brigade.

The moment Yu Dazhang showed up here, he received an enthusiastic welcome from everyone.

Wei Qian stood at the very front of the crowd, grinning so wide his mouth couldn't close, stepped forward to greet him, and tightly gripped Yu Dazhang's arm:

"I just knew you kid would definitely pick our First Brigade, hahaha, your master was still saying it wasn't certain."

Yu Dazhang was left completely baffled:

"You guys knew I was coming to the brigade?"

"Of course we knew." Wei Qian, while pulling him inside, said:

"We knew yesterday, but the higher-ups wouldn't let us go find you, said they had to let you choose on your own which brigade to go to."

At this point, he suddenly lowered his voice, speaking in a tone only the two of them could hear:

"Honestly, I was really afraid you'd pick another brigade."

"No way." Yu Dazhang's EQ suddenly maxed out, and he immediately replied:

"Coming to the brigade, of course I have to follow Captain Wei—you. Only under your leadership can I take another step forward and accomplish something."

This remark made everyone in the First Brigade burst into laughter.

Wei Qian's face went red, and he punched him:

"It's been a while, how come you kid talk more and more off-key every time."

Everyone knew perfectly well that the First Brigade simply couldn't hold onto this fatty—his coming here was just a transition, putting on a show for outsiders.

Once inside, Yu Dazhang looked around, and it seemed no seat had been saved for him. "Just stick with your master." Wei Qian patted his shoulder:

"Just like before, let your master lead you."

Lu Zhongxin's skin was considerably thicker than his; hearing this, his face didn't redden or his heart skip a beat, and he beckoned to Yu Dazhang:

"Come over, from now on you'll be in my squad."

The big unit didn't have that much spare time; after the brief pleasantries, everyone returned to their respective work.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Yu Dazhang then sidled up to Lu Zhongxin and asked in a low voice:

"How was the Yu Ze side handled?"

When he was at the detachment, he heard that Yu Ze had been arrested, but he didn't know the specifics.

Lu Zhongxin saw the urgency in his eyes and answered with a smile:

"Don't worry, this time no one can save him."

What am I supposed to be at ease about… The more Yu Dazhang listened, the more confused he became.

What he wanted to know was how Yu Ze had gone from plaintiff to defendant.

"What's the reason for arresting him?" Yu Dazhang pressed:

"Did he commit another offense these past two days?"

"Not really." Lu Zhongxin glanced left and right, lowering his voice:

"All the things he'd done before have been dug up. Zhang Sen and I, along with Ma Jian, Liu Miao, and the others, split into three teams to conduct an in-depth investigation on him, and we uncovered a lot."

"In my view, calling him 'commits every evil' is no exaggeration. If this kid keeps developing, sooner or later he'll commit murder and arson."

With Yu Dazhang's brain, a single hint was enough for him to deduce many things.

Investigating one Yu Ze, and the branch bureau actually dispatched three teams.

Ma Jian and Liu Miao were definitely assigned by the detachment, so Master and Zhang Sen's side must have been voluntary.

To say he wasn't moved would be a lie.

Yu Dazhang had never received much kindness from others growing up. Being helped by so many people this time truly warmed his heart.

But along with being moved, he was also a little worried.

"Did you find solid evidence?"

He asked this purely out of fear that Master and the others had acted on impulse and arrested the man without evidence.

"Don't worry."

Lu Zhongxin revealed a confident smile and reassured him:

"Without conclusive evidence, we wouldn't act rashly. The things he did can't be covered up with money."

Then, he shifted the topic:

"Also, you simply can't imagine it — once that Yu Ze went into the interrogation room, he spilled everything in less than an hour."

He seemed somewhat surprised by this result, shook his head, and continued:

"The detachment had originally planned to let the pre-trial handle it, but he couldn't hold out on his own and confessed everything clearly."

At this point, a hint of contempt crept into his tone:

"We all overestimated him. He did so many evil things, yet he was a coward to the bone — he even cried later, not even as good as a woman."

Isn't that perfectly normal… Yu Dazhang didn't find it surprising at all.

A spoiled rich second-generation kid — how could he possibly be made of tough stuff?

His usual arrogance and bullying only ever relied on his family's backing; once it was his turn to shoulder the burden, he immediately went soft.

Criminal investigators on the front line like Lu Zhongxin and the others had seen every kind of person.

They'd even arrested plenty of hardcore bandit-level criminals, so a rich second-generation kid like Yu Ze naturally didn't register in their eyes.

"Given the things he did, what kind of outcome could it be?" Yu Dazhang asked curiously.

This kind of topic was common among criminal investigators.

Although their Guess the sentence game wasn't as professional as the inmates at the detention center, their accuracy rate was still fairly high — after all, experience spoke for itself.

"Starting at over ten years."

Lu Zhongxin said, deliberating:

"But judging from his family's current situation, the sentencing will definitely be strict and heavy, and in the end it's very likely to be life imprisonment."

After work.

Yu Dazhang went to Yisheng Group and waited at the main gate for Qu Tuotuo.

"Get in the car."

He waved Qu Tuotuo over.

Once in the car, the two exchanged a glance.

"Tell me." Yu Dazhang squinted and asked:

"What have you guys done to the Yu family these past few days?"
