Ou Jun couldnât possibly imagine what kind of life Xia Chuyi had lived in the Xia Family before!
Although Grandma Xia didnât know Ou Jun, she could tell he was a high-ranking officer. Seeing that he was about to get angry, she quickly licked her lips, raised her hand, and swore, "Officer, I really didnât know, I really didnât know, it was all that woman Zhao Chunxiaoâs doing!"
As she spoke, Grandma Xia pretended to cry, "Oh, my poor second son, he doesnât even have his own flesh and blood now..."
Unfortunately, Ou Jun remained unmoved. With a voice hidden with anger, he said darkly, "Oh, are you sure you didnât know?"
On hearing this, Grandma Xia immediately replied, "Heaven and earth as witnesses, I really didnât know!"
Her words were full of genuine emotion.
"Very well, then..." Ou Jun gave a dismissive snort, then said, "Director Chang!"
"Please assist the local production team in thoroughly investigating this old lady, and her kin, regarding claims of embezzling funds meant for martyrâs families, mistreating the martyrâs orphan, and other such matters!" Ou Jun raised his voice, filled with righteous indignation.
Jiao Jiao, for Uncle Xiaâs sake, temporarily spared Mother Xia, but Ou Jun had no intention of letting the rest of the Xia Family off!
"Yes, we will definitely investigate thoroughly!" Chang Luhui responded immediately upon hearing this.
In fact, Chang Luhui had long wanted to take action against the Xia Family.
But previously, out of consideration for Xia Chuyi, acknowledging that these people were her relatives, he found it difficult to act.
Now, things had changed; the Xia Family and Xia Chuyi had no blood ties, so they could proceed as necessary.
Hearing Chang Luhuiâs response, Grandma Xia was so frightened she fell silent.
Seeing this, Xia Mei hurriedly shouted to protect herself, "This has nothing to do with me, nothing at all, Iâm already married and have left the family!"
"A married daughter is like spilled water; I have nothing to do with the Xia Family now!"
Ou Jun glanced at her without saying a word.
Xia Mei, the fool, couldnât see the anger in Ou Junâs expression and just said, "Oh, right, right, officers, they withheld food and money from the second branch and mistreated Chuyi. I can testify, I can testify to the organization!"
"I just need the officers to check if Iâm also not a child of the Xia Family?"
"Hmph, Iâve long thought that they all have hearts like vipers, completely different from mine, so maybe Iâm not a child of the Xia Family either..."
Xia Meiâs smug "speculations" made everyone present fall into an eerie silence.
"Director Chang, Iâll leave this place to you." At this moment, Huo Shiqian coughed lightly and said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Chang Luhui immediately nodded, "Rest assured, itâs in my hands, Commander."
"Letâs go," Huo Shiqian then said to everyone.
Xia Chuyi nodded, looked at the still-angry Ou Jun, and called, "Big brother..."
Hearing this, Ou Junâs angry expression softened a bit, but he eventually nodded and said, "Letâs go."
"Director Chang, Iâm counting on you!" said Ou Jun as they were leaving.
"Yes!" Chang Luhui naturally understood Ou Junâs meaning and responded loudly.
Uncle Xia and the others were also disgusted by the Xia Family, unwilling to stay longer, so they all gave a cold snort and turned to get in their cars to leave.
"Brother?" However, Xia Chengzong didnât move, so Xia Chuyi had to call out to him.
"Chuyi, I will also stay and help Director Chang," Xia Chengzong said, his expression rather complicated.
