CHAPTER 344: CHAPTER 283 PLEASE START YOUR SOPHISTRY_2

He glanced at his wife, and seeing her nod, he turned and walked outside.

Rong Manman saw that he was indeed intending to report to the police. Was he serious?

Instantly, all color drained from her face.

"...Don’t you dare go..."

Qin Ye didn’t care about her, simply walking away as he pleased.

Rong Manman subconsciously wanted to chase after him.

However, before she could take a step, Madam Rong, who was closest to her, yanked her back.

"Rong Manman, you really are your grandmother’s good granddaughter, repaying her kindness with such ruthlessness. Do you not have a shred of conscience?"

Even though the old lady didn’t care much for their family, she never thought about letting the old lady die, not to mention harboring any thoughts of wishing the old lady an early death...

Rong Manman’s face was pale; she weakly defended herself, "...I didn’t, it was Rong Yan slandering me... How could I possibly commit such a vicious act?"

Between her and her daughter, of course, Madam Rong believed her own flesh and blood, scoffing immediately, "If you didn’t do it, what are you afraid of? With how panicked and anxious you just were, do you think others will believe you’re innocent?"

"...I didn’t..." Rong Manman struggled to stay calm, "Grandma just passed away... The household is in turmoil, and Grandma won’t rest in peace... She disliked dealing with the local police office the most in her life. Aunt, can you bear to let her rest uneasy?"

"Shut your mouth, you have no right to call her Grandma." Rong Wenming’s eyes were venomous, and if it weren’t for his principle of not hitting women, he would have already slapped her.

"Just wait for the police to come and investigate."

Rong Wenze couldn’t believe it, "Brother, this... this must be a misunderstanding..."

If it got out that his daughter killed her own grandmother... their family would be truly disgraced.

His son, who had yet to marry... well, he could forget about getting a wife now.

Rong Wenming didn’t hit women, but couldn’t he hit his brother?

In his fury, with nowhere else to vent, he threw a punch at Rong Wenze...

"Ouch..." Rong Wenze cried out in pain, clutching his eye.

"A son’s failure to be taught is the father’s fault; today, I’ll beat you senseless, you ignorant fool..." Rong Wenming rained punches down on Rong Wenze.

Despite Rong Wenze’s robust body, he had no strength to fight back.

He could only cry out in pain.

"Big uncle..." Seeing their father being beaten, Rong Wenze’s sons felt a great loss of face and wanted to step forward.

However, Rong Yan kicked a stool in front of them, her fingers making a cracking sound as she flexed them.

Lifting her chin toward them with an aloof voice, "If any of you dares to step forward and interfere or stop their ’exchange,’ don’t blame me for being impolite."

"You..." The brothers felt as though it wasn’t her own hands she was cracking, but their bones.

Each one tall and strong, but not one dared to take a step forward.

The beating before the New Year... had left a deep impression on them, as if etched into their bones.

In short... that beating had simply frightened them.

With Rong Yan blocking the way for their three brothers, Rong Wenming got the chance to give Rong Wenze a thorough beating.

Rong Manman witnessed her father’s agonizing cries and her cowardly, utterly useless brothers and suddenly felt an urge to flee.

Rong Yan saw her stealthy movements and sneered.

"Rong Quankun, Rong Manman is so guilty she wants to run. If she runs, that would make her a fugitive. You all will definitely be implicated because of her, but I can give you a way out... If you denounce her, it might salvage some of your reputation and decrease your involvement..."

The three Rong Quankun brothers took her words to heart instantly.

Their gazes simultaneously fell on Rong Manman.

Seeing her guilty demeanor, their unease only grew.

Rong Quankun asked, "Manman, did you really push Grandma?"

The other two fixated their eyes on Rong Manman, seeking any indication on her face.

If it was true... their sister was horrifyingly monstrous.

She was more venomous than a viper!

What if one day they displeased her... would she also plan to kill them?

At that thought, the three brothers couldn’t help but shiver.

How could Rong Manman possibly admit to such a thing?

If she confessed, her life would truly be over.

With a screeching shout, "Big brother, she has a grudge against me, she framed me, how could you believe her lies? Am I that kind of vicious person?"

The three brothers: ...We don’t know whether you’re vicious or not right now, but you’re definitely far from kind.

Rong Yan sneered.

At that moment, Rong Wenming, too, seemed to have exhausted his strength and stopped.

As for Rong Wenze, he was slumped on the ground, indistinguishable from a dead fish.

Madam Rong looked around at the messy room, feeling very uncomfortable inside.

Her gaze fell on the old lady, and her emotions were extremely complex.

Her mother-in-law had doted on the second child’s family for so many years, look at what the end result was?

She died in unrest!

On the other side, Qin Ye brought Ji Ming to the police station.

Qi Yan, who hadn’t left yet, saw him and was a little surprised, "Qin Ye, what’s the matter?"

Qin Ye got straight to the point, "I’m here to report a crime. He’s a witness who personally saw a murder."

Qi Yan: ...?

It was then that he noticed the frail and somewhat dirty boy behind Qin Ye.

"...You said he witnessed a murder? Who was the victim?"

Ji Ming was a bit afraid of the police, but still, in the face of the officer’s questioning, he stepped out from behind Qin Ye.

"...Yes, I personally saw it... That Rong Manman pushed her own grandmother..."

Then he remembered something else and quickly added, "Tonight was the second time, last night she tried to push her grandma, but her grandma found out..."

Qin Ye added, "The old lady is already dead now."

Qi Yan:...

A life has been lost, how could this be tolerated?

And he did not think Qin Ye would joke about such a matter.

Immediately with a serious expression, he said, "Then we must go right now."

He then shouted to his colleagues who were still present, "Xiao Wang, bring a few people with me."

Xiao Wang quickly called a couple of police officers.

Seeing this, Qin Ye walked outside.

Qi Yan followed without any delay.

They acted quickly, and in less than twenty minutes arrived at Rong Wenze’s house.

When the Rong family saw that the police had actually been brought over, they were all stupefied.

Especially Rong Manman, her face pale as a sheet, her palms sweaty.

Qi Yan scanned the room and his gaze landed on Rong Manman. Seeing her expression, he discerned a clue.

Then his gaze moved to the old lady on the bed.

"I received a report of a homicide here..."

Rong Wenze, forgetful of his own pain, spoke up first, "Officer, this is a misunderstanding..."

Qi Yan looked at him, "I have an eyewitness here who saw the act of murder. So now I need to see the deceased..."

"This isn’t possible, my mother has just died, this kind of disturbance... she won’t rest in peace..." Rong Wenze desperately tried to stop them.

No way, whether this thing is true or not... it simply cannot be true.

Otherwise, how could their family face anyone?

Qi Yan’s expression was stern, "Are you trying to obstruct the investigation?"

Rong Wenze: "No, I’m not, I..."

Just then, Rong Quankun stepped forward, "Dad, let the police investigate! If it wasn’t my sister who did it, then this will clear her name. But if she really is the one who harmed grandma, then we can’t condone and cover up a murderer..."

Rong Wenze:...

What kind of idiot did I bring into this world?
