“S…Su Xuan?!”
“Why did you…?”
Zhou Qiang’s eyes widened as he witnessed the scene, and he instinctively began to speak.
On the other hand, Lan Xiaofen let out a sharp scream. “Officer Su! What are you doing?”
As she spoke, she anxiously pulled her son behind her. “You… How dare you arrest someone like this? Even if you’re a police officer, you can’t just arrest people arbitrarily.”
“This is outrageous! Release him immediately!”
Lan Xiaofen exclaimed in shock.
In fact, it wasn’t just her, everyone who witnessed this scene was left stunned.
“Mr. Chen, I have reason to suspect your involvement in a deliberate homicide case. Please come with me to the station for further questioning.”
“Mr. Chen Naidong, are you really determined to protect the murderer of your father?”
Su Xuan spoke calmly.
Upon hearing this, Chen Naidong’s face turned extremely pale, and he stood frozen in place, his mind seemingly racing with thoughts, but he didn’t utter a word.
“Mr. Chen Naidong.”
You should know what it means to provide false testimony, right?”
“I don’t want you to waste your prime years on this matter.”
“Please tell us what you know now.”
Looking at Chen Naidong, who was equally shocked and had joined Lan Xiaofen’s side, Su Xuan spoke.
The man who was now restrained by Su Xuan struggled a couple of times but realized he couldn’t break free, turning pale in the process.
He looked at Su Xuan with confusion, utterly bewildered.
“Officer Su, what are you doing?”
“I remember you’ve considered me a suspect more than once.”
“Now you’ve even handcuffed me. You…”
“What gives you the right to do this?”
The one speaking was Chen Canjun.
That’s right, the person Su Xuan had apprehended wasn’t Chen Naidong but Chen Canjun.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Chen Canjun didn’t see anything wrong with his earlier actions.
But right when his brother was about to be cremated and laid to rest, someone had discovered this and apprehended him.
He didn’t understand.
Why had this person suddenly arrested him? Where had he gone wrong? Had he exposed something unintentionally?
Su Xuan could answer that question.
“You are indeed very clever.”
“You knew to conceal your identity before taking action.”
“But even so, you exposed many vulnerabilities.”
“And, more importantly…”
Su Xuan looked at Chen Naidong, who was now wide-eyed and trembling, unsure whether to speak or not. “When you took action, you actually let the deceased’s son discover this matter.”
At these words, Chen Canjun, who had been captured by Su Xuan, suddenly raised his head, looking at Chen Naidong in disbelief!
Not only him, even Lan Xiaofen was dumbfounded.
She stared at her son in shock!
Everything the police officer said exceeded her imagination. What did he mean by ‘letting the deceased’s son discover this matter’ when taking action?
“Son…,” Lan Xiaofen’s voice trembled. “This officer can’t be telling the truth right?”
Do you mean you already knew… how your father died?”
“Why didn’t you say anything for so long? Why didn’t you say anything?”
“Do you know how tragic his death was?”
If he had left… this house wouldn’t be a home for you and me anymore!”
“Do you know why the killer didn’t inform me earlier?”
And even…
Made her suspect that Chen Naidong was the real murderer and had been hiding it until now.
“How should I put it?”
Chen Naidong lowered his head and suddenly laughed in the midst of his mother’s questions.
“You used to only tell me how good my dad was to you, how harmonious your marriage was.”
“But did you ever think about me?”
Chen Naidong looked at Lan Xiaofen, whose eyes had widened in shock after his words. “Did you ever think about what it was like for me, caught in the middle?”
“What was so good about that man anyway?”
‘He might not have hit you in the past, but what else did he never do?”
“But that’s not all.”
Chen Naidong nodded, sneering. “Now, he can’t even fulfill this one good quality. So what’s the point of him to you, to me?”
“Anyway, it wasn’t me who did it. If he’s dead, he’s dead.”
“Why involve an uncle in this?”
“Slap!”
After Chen Naidong finished speaking, Lan Xiaofen slapped him across the face!
Lan Xiaofen couldn’t believe that her son thought of her husband in such a way, even in her wildest dreams.
“Chen Naidong…”
“You’re a beast!”
“That’s your father!”
“Take him away!”
After that slap, no one spoke again.
The whole scene fell silent.
Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang felt extremely awkward at this moment.
They didn’t want to get involved in family ethics like this.
But at this moment, facing a criminal who had already committed a crime, they had to take him away immediately.
When Lan Xiaofen saw Su Xuan approaching to take Chen Naidong away, she hurriedly stepped forward to block him.
“Officer!”
“Why are you taking my son away? This has nothing to do with him!”
“He’s innocent…”
Lan Xiaofen’s words sounded like nonsense to the onlookers.
If he was innocent, then there were no innocent people in the world.
Of course, this didn’t include Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang.
You little brat, you actually witnessed me in the act?”
Caught and with both witnesses and physical evidence against him, when Chen Naidong remained silent, Chen Canjun knew that what Su Xuan said was true.
He just sneered.
Your old man was calling your name when he died.”
“I never expected you to be such a scumbag!”
“Haha, I’ve come out on top this time!”
Chen Canjun’s words silenced everyone, and they glared at him with anger, while Chen Jiahui turned pale.
With this statement, he directly confirmed the matter!
What, what should they do next?
“Husband, did you really kill… kill…”
Chen Jiahui gasped!
“Shut up! You damn bitch, did you think I wouldn’t know? You dress up every day, I knew something was off, and it turns out you had something to do with Chen Jianguo!”
Haha, now that Chen Jianguo is dead, you can’t escape either!”
“I’m going to make all of you die!”
Chen Jiahui:…
Chen Jiahui was stunned.
“My big brother and I…”
“There’S nothing between us! It’s all that sister-in-law slandering me, how could you believe her!”
And to do something so unethical…
Thinking of this, Chen Jiahui couldn’t help but look at Lan Xiaofen, her eyes filled with deep resentment.
“Lan Xiaofen, it’s all because of you!”
This time, even Lan Xiaofen was dumbfounded.
The person who killed her husband was her husband’s cousin, and their son watched Chen Canjun kill Chen Jianguo and helped him conceal it, believing that Chen Jiahui had an affair with Chen Jianguo…
But all of this…
In the beginning, it was just her speculation. She picked on Chen Jiahui because she couldn’t stand her, and she looked for excuses and reasons…
So, did she cause Chen Jianguo’s death?
This realization was something she couldn’t accept.
Lian Xiaofen’s eyelids fluttered, and she fainted directly!
