Chapter 180: Chapter 180 Arrested

After registering with the police, they headed to Sun Baoqing’s house along with the Party Secretary who had hurried over.

Sun Baoqing had dashed home upon hearing about the lost items, but when he got there, he found Iron General had barricaded the door, making him feel like he was about to explode with anger.

The woman must have thought that if she locked the door, the police wouldn’t be able to find her and she’d be safe. Now, even if she hadn’t stolen anything, it would be useless. Just being taken into custody would likely seal her conviction.

It seemed like she was fleeing from her crime!

He spun around in frustration, kicked a big poplar tree by the door, and ended up hopping around on one foot in pain, grimacing.

When the Party Secretary and the police arrived, this was the scene they encountered. The police had heard that Kong Yuru had returned home earlier and had told Sun Baoqing to open the door as they wanted to conduct a search inside.

Sun Baoqing said he didn’t have the key, which earned him scornful looks from the villagers. Whether he truly didn’t have it or was lying, nobody believed him.

Who would believe that he didn’t have the keys to his own house’s door? Everybody thought he was just stalling for time.

But Old Lady Sun was formidable; she fetched a hammer from her eldest son’s yard and smashed the lock open within moments.

The police searched the house thoroughly but found nothing. Lu Yichen had made sure Stone was taken care of at home, preferring he stayed there to avoid further harm.

Luo Qiao carried some food over in a basket for Stone to eat first, then she headed to the Sun Family’s house, curious as to what exactly Kong Yuru had taken from Lu Yichen’s place.

By the time Lu Yichen arrived, the police were about to leave empty-handed. He went straight into the courtyard, inspected it carefully, then asked for a hoe and began digging in several places he pointed out.

After digging in a few spots and finding nothing, it was surprising that they finally discovered Lu Yichen’s lost Jade Pendant under the stone base in the center of the yard.

This convinced the villagers that without a doubt, Kong Yuru had fled with the money out of fear of her crime, hiding somewhere out of sight.

In fact, she was frightened and, having been beaten by Sun Baoqing, wanted to seek refuge at her parent’s home while tending to her wounds.

So, an hour later, not far from Qingshan Village in Kong Family Village, Kong Yuru was taken away by the police amidst her terror. Her parents nearly fainted when they learned of their daughter’s theft.

Kong Yuru’s past deeds were also unearthed: usurping her sister-in-law’s compensation, maliciously scalding her nephew with noodle water causing serious burns, refusing to provide treatment, and eventually pushing the victim out to fend for himself.

Now, with her latest crimes of burglary and theft while the homeowners were away, the Kong Family was also affected. People even came to berate Kong Yuru’s parents for raising such a vicious daughter.

The elderly Kong couple couldn’t bear the shock and both fell ill. However, they didn’t blame the villagers for cursing them. They knew about the scandal their daughter had caused and hadn’t intervened or educated her.

Now, feigning illness for sympathy was futile; the villagers’ scolding grew even harsher. Even Kong Yuru’s brother and sister-in-law were too ashamed to show their faces in public.

Most affected were the two granddaughters of the Kong Family. Proposals that had been agreed upon were all canceled, citing that the Kong daughters were too malicious. This infuriated Kong Yuru’s brother and sister-in-law even more.

They made a special trip to the public security bureau at the commune, berating Kong Yuru in the harshest terms, declaring that whether she lived or died, she had nothing to do with the Kong Family ever again, and to never set foot in their house.
