Call the police

The expectation in Su Shen’s eyes faded, and his regret intensified, “I can understand.”
After a moment of silence, with reddened eyes, he looked at Gu Zhe and embraced him, his voice breaking as he spoke, “Brother, I’m sorry, so sorry. It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t hidden my tracks, if I had just come back and asked our mother, I would have realized all this was a misunderstanding, and I wouldn’t have made so many mistakes.”
Memories of their childhood, playing together, flooded Gu Zhe’s mind, bringing tears to his eyes as he hugged Su Shen back.
Xu Huan, witnessing the embrace of the two brothers, felt as though time had reversed to those earlier days.
When they were young, the two good brothers would play and help each other, sharing a special bond.
When everyone returned home and sat in the living room, the atmosphere was exceedingly heavy.
Father Su, with his mask on, hung his head, making it impossible to read his emotions.
Xu Huan broke the silence, “Su Shen has committed crimes over the years.”
She turned to Gu Dai, inquiring, “Daidai, what do you plan to do about this?”
Gu Dai bit her lip, looking around, uncertain of what to do.
She sighed deeply, finally resolving, “I have collected evidence of his crimes. If we’re to deal with it, it should be handled by the law.”
Su Shen had lived under a misunderstanding, enduring the torment of feeling abandoned, which was pitiful. However, he had committed many wrongs, not least of which was the illegal detention of people and orchestrating two cruise ship explosions, resulting in the death of many innocent people.
Gu Dai’s resolve hardened as she thought of the victims, her hand tightening at her side.
She was determined to send Su Shen to prison, regardless of any opposition.
Gu Zhe, with mixed feelings, looked at Su Shen. Even though Su Shen had done many wrong things over the years, they shared the same blood, making this moment all the more difficult to bear.
“I never thought our reunion would be under these circumstances,” Gu Zhe said with a choked voice.
Xu Huan, wiping away tears with a tissue, was filled with guilt.
Ye Yun was her best friend, and she had promised to take care of her children, but things had turned out this way.
She harbored no hatred towards Su Shen, only towards herself, for not verifying the facts more carefully.
Everyone quickly noticed Xu Huan’s emotional state and came forward to comfort her.
Su Shen, observing the chaotic living room, stood and said softly, “I’m sorry, none of this is anyone else’s fault. It’s all mine, all my fault.”
His voice was low, but it silenced everyone when he spoke.
Continuing with his head down, he added, “I’ve been a joke these years, and I’ve killed so many people. I should indeed be imprisoned to face legal punishment. Go ahead and call the police.”
While Su Shen continued to speak, his last words were quite vague.
His last words were muffled, his voice too quiet for anyone to catch, and without time to dwell on them, everyone’s focus shifted to making the call.
Gu Dai, with determination, made the call.
She stated, “Just as he said, after committing wrongs, one should face legal consequences.”
After her words, she walked to the garden, where even the sight of beautiful flowers couldn’t lighten her heavy heart.
Gu Dai felt someone walk over and stand by her side.
She turned and embraced him without looking, burying her face in his chest, asking in confusion, “Su Ting, did I do something wrong? According to our blood relation, Su Shen is technically my uncle, yet I cold-heartedly sent him to prison.”
Su Ting hugged Gu Dai back, softly comforting, “Daidai, you did nothing wrong. His vengeance involved many people, people with families and bright futures, all destroyed. His imprisonment is a form of atonement to those who were innocent.”
Gu Dai nodded slightly, then looked up at Su Ting, asking, “Don’t you find me terrifying? If one day you did something wrong, I would definitely call the police on you too.”
Su Ting chuckled lightly, looking earnestly into Gu Dai’s eyes, “I admire this trait of yours..”
