Chapter 179: Chapter 179 The Police Came Chapter 179: Chapter 179 The Police Came Sun Baoqing glanced back at the tightly shut gate of his home, asked everyone to clear some space, took a running start, and kicked the gate open, startling Kong Yuru who was in the kitchen picking vegetables.
When she came out and saw the yard gate she had closed now kicked open, she cursed, “Which heartless wretch kicked open my door? Show yourself this instant! This gate must be broken now and you’ll have to pay for it.”
Sun Baoqing charged in, grabbed Kong Yuru, and started beating her, “You fool, why do you always stir up trouble?”
Kong Yuru was not intimidated by Sun Baoqing, and the two of them started wrestling and fighting, “Sun Baoqing, you damned bastard, how dare you hit me!”
Upon hearing her curse like that, Sun Baoqing grew even angrier, “Who’s your damn mother, huh? Tell me clearly, who is your mother?”
In the midst of the fight, Kong Yuru’s sister, Kong Baoru, arrived, pushing through the onlookers and rushing in, “Will you two stop it? What is this behavior? Can’t you talk things out instead of resorting to fighting?”
By now, Sun Heqing was also tired from the fight, stood up, and said, “Kong Yuru, if you despise me for not being capable enough, then let’s get a divorce. Stop doing shameful things all the time, embarrassing me and the kids.”
Hearing her brother-in-law mention divorce, Kong Baoru looked at her sister and asked, “Sis, what have you done this time?”
Kong Yuru guiltily said, “What could I have possibly done? I just went to find Stone, that broom star, to get some scar removal ointment for Shengyuan. It was only when I got back to the village that I learned Lu Yichen, that cripple, had paid a lot of money for scar removal medicine for that bastard child.
I just thought of asking that broom star for some, but that black-hearted thing wouldn’t say where the medicine was, so I had to search for it myself.”
After hearing her sister’s words, Kong Baoru was speechless, pinched the bridge of her nose, and said, “You went through Lu Yi’s home rummaging.”
Kong Yuru said vaguely, “I was just looking for the scar removal cream.”
No sooner had she finished her sentence than cries of shock came from outside, “Lu Yichen has reported it to the police.”
Sun Baoqing walked to the gate to look out and saw Lu Yichen returning to the village with three police officers. They did not head toward the Sun Family but went directly to his own home instead.
The team leader promptly sent someone to summon the party secretary, and he had no time to deal with Kong Yuru, telling Sun Baoqing to keep an eye on his wife as the police would surely be looking for her soon.
Sun Baoqing turned to Kong Yuru and said, “If you took something from them, return it quickly.”
Kong Yuru was so frightened she was slightly trembling, yet she still insisted, “I didn’t take anything, nothing at all. I was just in his house looking for that scar cream, but I hadn’t found it yet when the team leader came with people.”
Sun Baoqing glared at her fiercely, “You’d better be telling the truth, because if anything goes wrong, I’ll divorce you on the spot and make sure the kids cut ties with you.”
After speaking, he turned and walked towards the gate, saying to his young aunt who stood by, “Keep a close eye on her. If she runs away, you won’t be able to avoid responsibility.”
Having said that, he headed towards Lu Yichen’s house. He had to go there himself to avoid any mishaps.
When he arrived, the police were collecting evidence, retrieving a few fabric threads from the split door frame’s splinters. After an initial review, the police asked Lu Yichen to check whether anything was missing from his house.
Lu Yichen searched several places and said, “Three hundred yuan and a jade pendant are missing.”
This caused unrest among the villagers who were watching outside, and Sun Baoqing himself broke out in a cold sweat; if this were true, Kong Yuru would be sentenced.
