Chapter 223 - Tong Xuelu noticed that she had forgotten a very important character all along (2)
Edited by: Lulu
They had sent people to inspect Jiang Huarong’s old family house in the past, but since nobody was living there, there was not a lot of furniture. As such, they retreated after a quick search considering there wasn’t much to look at.
They had focused most of their efforts on looking at his house in the capital city. Lo and behold, this old thief was so wicked and cunning that he had placed such an amount of wealth in the old house. To top it all off, he had nobody there guarding it!
Who would have thought that?
Police Lin ignored Jiang Huarong and immediately sent his men to search the old house.
The cops quickly located the hidden underground room at Jiang Huarong’s old house. Everyone who stepped foot in there was shocked.
Along with countless other valuables, massive amounts of antiques, jewelry, and gold were found in the basement. They even found 20,000 yuan cash during their inspection!
At this time, an average worker’s salary was around 20 to 30 yuan, while it was 40 to about 50 yuan for government officials. Even if they were to save every single penny that they had made, it would still take them some 30 years to amass that amount.
Now that they had discovered so much cash from Jiang Huarong’s old family house, he would never be able to talk his way out of accepting bribery and embezzlement of the country’s properties!
When the news that the cops had successfully obtained proof against him, Jiang Huarong became completely listless.
Like a deflated balloon, he looked lifeless and remained motionless for a very long time.
He knew that he was done for this time. There was no point in saying anything else.

After leaving the police station, Jiang Danhong was still in a very excitable mood.
Wen Rugui said to her, “Comrade Jiang, it will still be a while before the official sentencing, but don’t you worry. Jiang Huarong won’t stand a chance.”
The last of Jiang Danhong’s worries dissipated with that. “Thank you so much. If it weren’t for the two of you, I worry that Jiang Huarong would never get what he deserves in this lifetime.”
Wen Rugui replied solemnly, “This is our duty. Oh right, so what are your plans now?”
Jiang Danhong answered, “I want to file a report on the captain of the Red Star production team and his son. I want to file complaints about them abusing their powers for personal gain and hurting and insulting women and other educated female students!”
Wen Rugui did not look surprised at all when he heard that.
He figured she would make a move against them when he saw how much she hated the captain’s family and her two sons the other day.
Except, her two sons would be motherless and fatherless once she reported her husband and her father-in-law.
Most people would probably never be able to relate to that, which would make her future very difficult.
Sure enough, as soon as that thought had crossed Wen Rugui’s mind, he heard Pu Jianyi saying, “Comrade Jiang, I understand how much you hate them, but you would definitely hurt your two sons if you choose to go down that path. Are you certain that you don’t want to give it some more thought?”
From Pu Jianyi’s perspective, now that Jiang Danhong had reported Jiang Huarong, the Jiang family would never accept her back.
She had no parents, and her brother had passed away. If she also reported her husband’s family, what was she going to do in the future?
He felt that he truly had her best interest in mind, but after Jiang Danhong heard his words, her face dropped.
She stared at Pu Jianyi and snickered. “What do you know? Why do I have to worry about hurting them? They certainly didn’t care about how I felt when they hurt me, so why should I be considerate of them?!”
Screw her birth sons! And screw motherly love!
Pardon her, but she had always been a cold and selfish person.
She never wanted the two children, nor would she ever look at them as her own.
Pu Jianyi was going to persuade some more when he was immediately stopped by Wen Rugui. “That’s enough.”
Looking at Wen Rugui, she asked, “Comrade Wen, do you feel that I should not report them too? And that I am ruthless if I do?”
Wen Rugui shook his head. “No, I will respect your decision.”
Jiang Danhong looked into Wen Rugui’s eyes long and hard before a smile finally appeared on her face. “You are a nice person, much better than you stupid friend.”
Pu Jianyi, “……”
