Chapter 124: A Family of Three Should Be Neat and Tidy

~7 min read 1,355 words

The uncle was also impatient, "I want to report her too. Bai Wei often buys large quantities of supplies, and their whereabouts are unknown! You must investigate thoroughly."

After speaking, he rubbed his hands together and gave a fawning laugh.

"Officer, we are reporting Bai Wei out of righteousness to exterminate kin. Should I be given a certificate of merit and a cash reward?"

The grandmother held onto an officer with one hand and pointed at Bai Wei with the other, weeping and pleading.

"This girl is a vicious, unfilial daughter. I raised her with such difficulty, and now that she has money, she won't give a single cent to support me, her grandmother."

"Not to mention hiding weapons, there is nothing she wouldn't do."

"I am at such an old age that I would not lie. You must not be deceived by her appearance."

The three of them sang and acted well, performing with such realism.

Bai Wei crossed her arms and watched the performance at her leisure, as if watching a monkey show.

The officers stepped forward and flashed a search warrant, "We now suspect you of hiding firearms and are here to search your Farm; this is the search warrant."

"Go ahead and search." Bai Wei nodded and stepped aside.

The officers quickly spread out to search the estate, and several police dogs also ran in, sniffing everywhere.

Zhou Yuchuan frowned slightly and looked at Bai Wei.

Bai Wei, however, was very calm.

In any case, they would not find anything.

……

One hour later.

"Report, the entire Farm has been searched, and no firearms or Ammunition have been found."

The aunt's expression changed, "How is that possible? I saw with my own eyes that she had several guns."

"Search again." The grandmother was also anxious, pulling on an officer, "This girl is cunning; she must... she must have hidden them in a secret place."

The officer coughed dryly, "We only recognize facts. There are indeed no prohibited weapons in her estate."

"This... how can that be?" The uncle was sweating profusely from anxiety.

He had planned to send Bai Wei to prison, seize her property, and incidentally collect the "righteousness to exterminate kin" certificate and reward.

He never expected that they would find absolutely nothing.

At this moment, Bai Wei smiled.

"Didn't find anything, right? Now, it's my turn."

"Officer, I want to report a crime! The three members of the Bai Family have filed a false report, slandered me for hiding weapons, and even peeked over my wall!"

"This has caused me serious reputational damage. I demand they pay for emotional distress and be punished."

As soon as she finished speaking, the three members of the Bai Family were dumbfounded.

The officers looked at each other, and one of them walked forward, tilted his chin at the three members of the Bai Family, and barked with a stern face.

"The three of you, come with us to the Police Station."

"What?" The grandmother was stunned and pointed at Bai Wei, "The person you should be arresting is her."

The uncle's expression turned ferocious; he rushed in front of Bai Wei and raised his palm.

"You dare to report us..."

Zhou Yuchuan took a stride forward and blocked Bai Wei.

"What do you want to do? I will not allow you to hurt her."

"Bai Wei is now a very important member of the National Archaeological Team. She is under state protection. Do you want to go against the state?"

After speaking, he turned his head and comforted Bai Wei in a soft voice.

"I have already recorded everything that just happened. As evidence of their slander against you, we can demand compensation and jail time. My lawyer is already on the way!"

Zhou Yuchuan's words completely stunned the Bai Family.

Have to pay money?

And have to go to jail?

The three of them turned green; they had wanted to send Bai Wei to prison, but they never expected that the ones going to jail would be themselves.

The uncle, who had been fierce just a moment ago, broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

He squeezed out a smile, "Bai Wei, wasn't your uncle just concerned about you? I was afraid you were hiding weapons and going down the wrong path. Tell the officers quickly to let us go and not take us to the police station."

"Bai Shengyi, you've got it wrong, haven't you?" Bai Wei smiled, "Didn't your Bai Family cut ties with me long ago?"

The aunt also hurriedly spoke up, "We are all family, why be so formal? How about I apologize to you?"

"Save your apologies for the Police Station." Bai Wei's attitude was firm; she wanted them to be taken to the Police Station.

The officers stepped forward to take the three of them to the vehicle.

The grandmother lay down on the ground and began to throw a tantrum.

"I am at such an old age, yet I am being framed by my granddaughter and taken to the Police Station."

"This girl is truly unfilial, messing around with men all day. She's just a heartless little slut who drops her pants whenever she sees a man..."

"She has no skills at all; she only joined the Archaeology Team by sleeping around. She must have slept with this man surnamed Zhou too..."

The grandmother lay on the ground, cursing more and more vigorously.

The old woman's curses were exceptionally foul, focusing on vulgarities, and the dozen or so officers frowned as they listened.

Even the well-mannered Zhou Yuchuan could not bear to listen any longer.

He could not help but step forward, wanting to stop her.

Bai Wei, however, grabbed him and walked up to smile at the grandmother.

"Old woman, at your age, there is no need to introduce everyone to the glorious deeds of your youth."

"I didn't say I wouldn't give you money. I've already prepared a cartload of paper money for you. On the day of your funeral, I will definitely burn all of it for you."

Bai Wei grinned, not angry in the slightest.

On the contrary, Grandma was so angry she was huffing and puffing.

"You, you unfilial..."

Before she could finish, Bai Wei took out her phone, "I've recorded it. Insulting others in a public place constitutes the crime of insult; in serious cases, it is punishable by up to three years of fixed-term imprisonment. Why don't you say a few more words so I can use them as evidence?"

Grandma was stunned and instinctively clamped her mouth shut.

Bai Wei tilted her head.

"Let me think: filing a false police report, the crime of voyeurism, the crime of defamation, and now there's also the crime of insult."

"Professor Zhou, please have your lawyer write down all these charges; let them be prosecuted as severely as possible."

Zhou Yuchuan nodded, "Very well. The Antique Exhibition is about to open, and the higher-ups have arranged for you to represent us at this event as the Image Ambassador for the nation of Huaxia. By insulting you, they are damaging the nation's reputation, and the National Cultural Heritage Administration will certainly hold them accountable."

"What? She is representing the nation?"

Grandma, lying on the ground, shuddered in fear.

She had bullied Bai Wei only because she saw her as a helpless young girl.

She never expected that she would actually have the national team backing her.

Once it escalated to the national level, Grandma didn't dare make another sound.

She was terrified, truly terrified...

The uncle and aunt were escorted into the police car, both of them weeping bitterly.

Grandma didn't want to go, so she lay on the ground and threw a tantrum.

"I, I'm having a heart attack."

But the officers were already accustomed to this kind of trick.

Regardless of whether she was willing or not, they dragged her straight up from the ground and shoved her into the police car.

Bai Wei smiled, watching as the uncle's entire family was taken away in the police car.

A family of three should always stay together.
