Chapter 1014: Chapter 1014 The Origin of the Matter Chapter 1014: Chapter 1014 The Origin of the Matter Chen Yuefang turned and walked out, and Chang Qing also looked at this child, who they had practically watched grow up, with disappointment. He shook his head, “Since it’s like this, then we have no more concerns. Brother Wang, I’m sorry, but this is not a trivial matter, so we can only report it to the police.”
Wang Weirong saw Chang Qing and his wife preparing to leave and panicked. He glanced at his daughter and asked coldly, “Once your Uncle Chang steps out of our front door, there’s no turning back on this matter. Are you sure you’ve thought it through?”
Wang Chaoxia was terrified, but she was making a bet, betting on the years of friendship between Chang Qing’s family and her parents, betting that they would not risk her and Wanyi’s reputation over this matter.
Because in their heart, both she and Chang Wanyi had equal suspicion. She absolutely could not confess, or else she would have no face to see people in the future.
It was clear that day when she took the vegetables out, Yipin didn’t ask for any money, and moreover, she had seen Chang Wanyi just yesterday, when clearly nothing had happened. How did Uncle Chang and his wife find out?
She didn’t yet know that Chang Wanyi had been prompted by someone to try making money from Yipin’s vegetables, that Yipin had called her parents, and that she even got a beating.
Nor did she know that today, Chang Qing had gone to settle the previous vegetable bill, and here she was, betting that Chang Qing and his wife would not dare to call the police for the sake of their beloved daughter’s reputation.
Unfortunately, she lost her bet. Once Chang Qing and Chen Yuefang left the Wang Family, they went straight to the nearby police station to file a report.
With Hu Dongxiong’s influence, the case quickly got results.
When the police arrived at the Wang Family, it drew a crowd of neighbors. Seeing the police at her door, Wang Chaoxia hid behind her father, scared stiff. Unaware of the situation, Wang Chaoxia’s mother returned from outside, “Weirong, what’s going on?”
One of the police approached, “Who here is Wang Chaoxia, please come with us to the station for an investigation.”
No matter how cunning Wang Chaoxia was, she was still a minor, and scared, she clung to her dad Wang Weirong’s arm, “Dad, I don’t want to go, I won’t go, it has nothing to do with me.”
Wang Weirong patted his daughter’s hand, “It’s okay, if you haven’t done anything, why fear? Dad will go with you. Just explain it clearly and there’ll be no issues.”
In fact, his heart was all over the place. He knew his daughter all too well, the money definitely wasn’t given to Wanyi, but in front of the neighborhood peers, he couldn’t say anything else.
When they arrived at the police station, everyone involved convened, and after revisiting the whole matter, the police turned to Wang Chaoxia, “Are you sure you gave the money to Chang Wanyi?”
Before she could answer, Chang Wanyi suddenly stood up, “Wang Chaoxia, when did you ever give me money? I get it now, did you give the money to Guo Mingliang?”
“You’re talking nonsense.”
This time Chang Wanyi was smarter, “Why so agitated? Guo Mingliang was showing off a brand-new bicycle in front of everyone the day before yesterday, saying some woman paid for it. What relationship do you have with Guo Mingliang, as everyone knows you’re close?”
Wang Chaoxia was terrified, “You’re spouting lies, you’re spouting lies! I’ll tear you apart!”
As she said this, she lunged towards Chang Wanyi, but was restrained by the nearby police, “What nonsense. Even at this time, you still want to hit someone?”
A police officer said to a colleague, “Go, bring in this Guo Mingliang they’re talking about.”
Wang Chaoxia became even more panicked, “This has nothing to do with him, okay?”
Wang Weirong hadn’t expected a dispute over the cost of a load of vegetables to become so complicated, his head spinning with a ‘buzzing’ dizziness.
Before long, following the information provided by Chang Wanyi, they found Guo Mingliang playing pool. When Guo Mingliang heard the police were looking for him because of the bicycle money, he quickly explained, “I haven’t done anything illegal. My girlfriend gave me the money for this bike.”
The police officer directly took him back to the station, and Guo Mingliang confessed everything quickly, saying that Wang Chaoxia had given him the money, a total of two hundred yuan. After buying the bike, four yuan was left, which he had long since spent.
Now Wang Chaoxia had no more to say. Wang Weirong looked at his daughter, his eyes filled with disappointment, “Where is the rest of the money?”
Wang Chaoxia finally couldn’t take it and burst into tears. Her mother didn’t have such a gentle temperament, “You wretched girl, will you speak up about where the rest of the money is?”
