589 Open Meeting
“Qiao Zhuang! Come out and take a look! Is this someone from your family!” Chen Hu held his gun and shouted towards the house.
There was silence in the courtyard and no one answered. Chen Hu knocked on the railing impatiently.
The people in the vehicle came out and lined up one after another. In the end, Qiao Yu slowly got out as well. When Qiao Zhuang saw Qiao Yu, he walked out in relief.
“Officer, what’s wrong? Did our child do something wrong? Why are you here personally?” Qiao Zhuang said obsequiously.
“Are you sure this is your child?” Chen Hu asked again.
Qiao Zhuang nodded affirmatively. Even if he lied and refused to admit it, they would find out once they investigated it. Besides, Qiao Yu worked at home every day and did not have much contact with the outside world.
He would believe it if someone said that his sons had caused trouble outside.
Qiao Yu, this coward, would never do anything that would alarm the armed forces department.
“Yes, this is my daughter, my sixth child,” Qiao Zhuang said firmly.
Chen Hu smiled and said, “Alright. She came to my place yesterday to report you! She said that you’re involved in the trafficking of women and even abused her. If she’s disobedient, you won’t give her food or water. Is there such a thing?”
Qiao Zhuang was stunned. He never dreamed that Qiao Yu would go and report him.
He had thought that he would be able to find out Qiao Yu’s whereabouts after capturing Shen Ge yesterday. He did not expect Shen Ge to be so stubborn that she would not say anything no matter how hard he hit her.
He thought that Qiao Yu had already left this place, but he did not expect her to report him!
“There’s no such thing, sir. There’s no such thing,” Qiao Zhuang said with an awkward smile.
Chen Hu tilted his head and said to Qiao Yu, “Repeat what you told me last night. Don’t be afraid. With the few of us around, he won’t attack you. Tell us about the time he locked you up in the woodshed.”
Qiao Yu was completely disheartened. She did not expect Chen Hu to be such a cunning person!
He was revealing that she had already told Chen Hu the truth since he could even talk about the woodshed.
Qiao Zhuang’s gaze towards Qiao Yu gradually turned cold. After Chen Hu left, he would definitely teach Qiao Yu a lesson!
Now she had grown up, she was so capable! She actually dared to go to the armed forces department to report her biological father!
Since Qiao Yu did not leave, then he would not hold back! It was only right for a father to teach his biological daughter a lesson!
“It’s just that the child was insensible and made a mistake. So she was locked up in the woodshed to repent,” Qiao Zhuang said.
“Oh? Is that so? Then what’s going on with your eldest daughter-in-law, Liu Ying, and your granddaughter, Qiao Hua? Is everything Qiao Yu said fake? I heard that you forced them to run away. If you’re not lying, then ask them to come here to confront me,” Chen Hu shouted as he pointed at the house.
Qiao Zhuang looked at Qiao Yu resentfully. He did not expect Qiao Yu to have told Chen Hu all this.
Qiao Yu looked at Qiao Zhuang in panic. She could already imagine how miserable she would be after Chen Hu left.
Damn Qiao Mei! It must be her idea! Qiao Yu knew that Chen Hu was related to Qiao Mei’s family. She had not said a word about these things, and when Xia Zhe spoke to Chen Hu, she was right next to him.
Liu Ying had already been sent to the police station by Zhao Liang. How did Chen Hu know so much when he was from the armed forces department?
Qiao Mei must have told Chen Hu all these! That was definitely the case!
She hated Xia Zhe for heartlessly leaving her at the armed forces department! However, she hated Qiao Mei, the instigator, even more!
If not for Qiao Mei, she would not be leading such a miserable life! She would not have experienced so many things! She would also have a husband like Xia Zhe to accompany her for the rest of her life!
Why did she not have what Qiao Mei had! Everything should belong to her!
“They… they went back to their maternal home!” Qiao Zhuang said with a guilty conscience.
“Rubbish! Liu Ying is an orphan! How can she have a maternal home!” Chen Hu roared.
Qiao Zhuang had nothing to refute and could only accept his fate of having to admit to everything. Chen Hu brought Qiao Zhuang to the village entrance for an “open meeting”.
The term “open meeting” meant a censure meeting. When Qiao Mei heard about this, she quickly went to the village entrance to join in the fun. She heard from Auntie Dong that the last “open meeting” was many years ago.
In her other life, she had heard about the term “open meeting” from others, but she did not know what it was like. Moreover, in a few years’ time, everyone would think that the custom of having an “open meeting” was not good, so there would no longer be such a thing as an “open meeting” in the future.
