Chapter 14
Exposing the Conspiracy
Gu Fadian was shaken and asked, "Do you want to follow me?"
Ban Xia raised the shuttlecocks high and replied, "I will be your younger sister. I know how to wash dishes, and I can sweep the floor too!"
Gu Fadian burst into laughter. How could such a tiny girl know how to wash dishes and sweep the floor?
When Qi Kai had carried Ban Xia back, she thought her brother didn't want her anymore and that she would still be beaten to death by her mother, Qin Xiu. She had prepared herself to accept death in silence. But she never expected that Brother Diandian would find so many people to help her. Her heart was filled with immense joy.
As for Brother Dian, Ban Xia knew many things about his future, but at this moment, she believed he was a kind, gentle, and good brother who could help her and save her life!
On the other side, Qin Xiu wept weakly and pitifully, "My poor children, if I am arrested, what will they do!"
Auntie Zhang couldn't help but chime in, "Officer, I can help look after the children. Just take her away and teach her a lesson."
Another person added, "Teaching her a lesson is fine, but if the children have no one to care for them, she still needs to be around to look after them."
So, the child she had almost killed was now becoming her saving grace?
At this moment, Gu Fadian stepped forward and said, "Officer, Qin Xiu isn't lying this time!"
Qin Xiu's eyes lit up, and she thought to herself: *See? What does a child matter? Even the troublemaker is scared now.*
But immediately after, Gu Fadian continued, "Ban Xia once told me that Qin Xiu forced her to reveal the whereabouts of some silver coins, and beat her because of it. She should be arrested for child abuse. If the child has no one to raise her, I can take care of Ban Xia, and..."
The smile on Qin Xiu's face instantly turned into a sob. No, she wanted to strangle Gu Fadian to death.
Gu Fadian spoke unhurriedly and with poise, "Everyone in the family housing estate probably knows Wu Xiaohua, the ex-wife of Deputy Secretary Shen. She and my mother were former colleagues. Before, she told my mother that she had two silver coins that are extremely valuable now. Later, she returned to her hometown and jumped into a well to her death. And now, Qin Xiu is interrogating Ban Xia, demanding silver coins as well. So, I can deduce that Shen Sibao killed his wife to steal the silver coins, but somehow those two coins went missing, which is why Qin Xiu is forcing Ban Xia to find them, right?"
This time, the crowd was completely horrified!
If that was the case, was Deputy Secretary Shen actually a murderer?
