Chapter 267: Chapter 267: How Evil Human Nature Can Be

Inside the town police station, Lin Fan sat with Zhu Zhixuan in the office while her parents were seated in the corner.

From the moment they entered, the two of them were as spiritless as frostbitten eggplants, only able to watch Zhu Xiaohu, who was also pale-faced, in despair, not daring to say a word.

A silent half-hour, feeling like a lifetime, was broken only when Xu Guangfa pushed the door open and entered, dispelling the awkward silence.

Xu Guangfa walked straight up to Lin Fan and Zhu Zhixuan and nodded at Lin Fan, "We got a confession. That so-called Captain Zhao was an auxiliary police before making mistakes and getting fired. As for the others, they’re just a bunch of no-good thugs, and all that bling on their necks is fake."

While speaking, Xu Guangfa dumped those so-called thick gold chains and big gold watches on the table—altogether, they weren’t even worth one hundred yuan.

"Since the scam involved over ten thousand yuan, can they be detained now?"

Lin Fan handed Xu Guangfa a cigarette. The reason for giving them money was for this occasion—if there had been no money involved, at most, they would have received a verbal warning, as there was no actual harm done. The police couldn’t do much to them otherwise. But now, with ten thousand yuan confiscated from that guy’s pocket, the case was different.

"Yes, yes, yes, according to the Public Security Administration Punishments Law, it’s indeed reached the threshold. Criminal detention is unavoidable, at least fifteen days to start. If there are other offenses, they could even be sentenced. However, they’ve just disclosed another lead, and I’m not sure about it, so I wanted to talk to you privately."

Xu Guangfa accepted the cigarette and gave Lin Fan a meaningful look. When he saw Lin Fan glance towards Zhu Xiaohu in the corner, Lin Fan had a feeling that something wasn’t right. After a moment’s thought, he then said, "No need for privacy, just say whatever it is."

"Based on what they just confessed, they weren’t the masterminds... After all, they didn’t know about Zhu Xiaolong being detained. It was Zhu Xiaohu who told them, and he’s the one who set this trap behind the scenes, aiming to force... Zhu Zhixuan into submission!"

Xu Guangfa’s words struck like thunder, leaving the office dead silent. Zhu Zhixuan, her face filled with shock, turned to look at Zhu Xiaohu in the corner. She had always believed that her brother had been deceived by bad friends, which led him to come back with people, but she never imagined that he was the actual mastermind behind it all.

"Sis... I’m sorry... I was wrong!"

With no way out, Zhu Xiaohu hurried to the table, knelt with a thump, and between great sobs, he began to tell his story, "I owe Brother Huo money... I really couldn’t pay him back... He recently found a way to make a lot of money just by sitting at a table... I knew you wouldn’t agree if I just asked you... so that’s why I devised this plan... Sis... I’m so sorry... I was blinded... I’m not human... but please, don’t send me to jail... Our brother is too unimpressive to find a wife... if I go in, the Zhu family will be without descendants... I’m begging you!"

Watching Zhu Xiaohu weeping bitterly, Zhu Zhixuan stumbled, luckily Lin Fan was there to support her. She truly couldn’t have imagined her own brother would try to coerce her into prostitution. Tears streaming down her face, she clenched her teeth, "You... you’re an animal... an animal!"

"Director Xu, let’s handle this matter with impartiality."

Lin Fan patted Zhu Zhixuan’s back and said to Xu Guangfa, who got the message and took out handcuffs, locking them onto Zhu Xiaohu’s wrists.

"Zhixuan... Xiaohu is just young and foolish... Scold him, and if you’re still angry, hit him a couple times... but don’t send him to prison!"

"Yeah, Zhixuan, he’s your own brother, you can’t send him to prison. Your parents are begging you!"

Zhu Zhixuan’s parents immediately ran over, too, kneeling before her. Zhu Zhixuan, with silent tears, suddenly shattered her teacup on the ground in a frenzy, "Are you all deaf? He tried to trick me into becoming a prostitute... At that time, why didn’t he think of me as his sister? You’ve always protected them since we were young, but in the end, they’ve spent all your money. When you don’t have money for medicine, you come to me... Why should I!?"

"Zhixuan... you’re also flesh from your mother’s body, isn’t it natural to make sacrifices for the family?"

Zhu Zhixuan’s mother cried out between sobs.

"Then as a daughter, have you ever cared for my grandmother? Have you ever spent a penny on her? Let me tell you, from now on, we have nothing to do with each other, get lost... get out!"

With that, Zhu Zhixuan pushed her mother away and ran out like a madwoman, unable to face her indifferent parents any longer. Lin Fan naturally couldn’t say more, only following her out. As he passed by the dissipated Zhu Xiaohu, he stopped, glancing at Xiaohu’s girlfriend beside him.

"Oh, right, you just said your brother-in-law is in prison, and that she can sleep with anyone. Well, when you’re inside, I’ll make sure to take good care of your girlfriend for you!"
