After my stepmother was shot, I took my brothers to the countryside

The next day, Chen Zhixue had breakfast and rode his bike to work.

Today is Saturday. Li Cui took a leave of absence and Chen Yang did not go to school. After breakfast, the mother and her two children went back to their room to change clothes. Li Cui carried a bag and dressed up beautifully, and took the siblings out. Before leaving, she rolled her eyes at Shen Nian and the others.

Shen Nian made sure they were far away, so he asked Chen Nian'an and the others to guard the door, then turned and went into Chen Zhixue and their room, opened the wardrobe, and took out Li Cui's piggy bank. In addition to banknotes, there were also letters. He took away all the banknotes and put the box of letters back.

After returning to the room, she put all the money and bills in their iron box. Only after making sure that they would not be discovered did she take the two brothers out.

After going out, the three siblings split up according to what they had agreed on last night. Chen Nianle went to the police station to find the police, Chen Nian'an went to the textile factory to find Chen Zhixue, and Shen Nian went to the Cili Guesthouse where Wang Cui and the others were.

She learned the name of the guesthouse from overhearing Li Cui and Li Lan discussing it last night.

Shen Nian found a place near the guesthouse where he could observe and squatted there. After a while, he saw Li Cui and three others and a man of medium build enter the guesthouse. From a distance, Chen Yang's face looked 30% similar to the man's. Could it be that Chen Yang was not Chen Zhixue's son?

Shen Nian felt a little gloating. She didn't love her own child. In the end, the son she raised with pampering might not be her own. She wondered if Chen Zhixue could accept this fact?

About ten minutes later, Chen Nianle came running over with a group of police officers. Shen Nian saw them and hurried over.

"Sister! The police officer is here. Is anyone inside?" Chen Nianle stared at Shen Nian nervously. After all, if the person was gone, it would be too much of a responsibility to report the arrest of a spy or false police officer.

Shen Nian nodded, took his hand and looked at the leading police officer: "Comrade Public Security, I found that my stepmother is suspected of having contact with spies. They are two adults and two children. They just entered the Cili Guesthouse and haven't come out yet."

"Let's go in!" The leading police officer walked in first.

"Which room should the two adults and two children who just came in stay in?" he asked the front desk lady directly.

The receptionist was startled to see so many police officers coming in: "They live on the second floor and just happened to need hot water. I'll take you upstairs."

The receptionist led the way in front, and the group followed closely up to the second floor: "The hot water is here, open the door." The aunt knocked on the door and shouted.

"Here I come." Shen Nian heard the voice was Li Lan.

As soon as the door opened, the police rushed in: "Hands up! Get down! Don't move!"

The leading police officer grabbed the middle-aged man who was about to jump from the building. Seeing that he couldn't escape, the middle-aged man threw the thing in his hand out: "What are you doing! Where are you jumping! What did you throw down?!"

The screams of Li Cui and Li Lan resounded through his eardrums, and Shen Nian covered Chen Nianle's ears.

At this time, Chen Nian'an had just arrived outside the guesthouse, followed by Chen Zhixue and the factory director Zhang Aiguo. When Zhang Aiguo was inspecting the workshop, he met Xiao An who was looking for Chen Zhixue. Seeing Xiao An's anxious look, he thought something had happened to Shen Nian, so he followed him.

Zhang Aiguo picked up the paper that had fallen in front of him and took a look. This matter was even more serious! The paper was actually about their textile factory!

Seeing that all the papers on the ground had been picked up by the police, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Comrade police, I am Zhang Aiguo, the director of the textile factory. What is going on?"

"The specific situation is unclear. Our captain is upstairs. You can go up and ask him." The police officer replied and reached out to take the paper from his hand.

The three of them hurried into the guesthouse and went upstairs. Without asking, they saw several police officers standing on the second floor.

"Is this Chen Zhixue? Come in." The public security comrade let the three people into the room.

As soon as Chen Zhixue entered the room, he saw Shen Nian and Chen Nianle sitting on the sofa, and four people squatting in the corner. Li Cui kept insulting Shen Nian and was a little surprised to see Chen Zhixue come in.

Chen Zhixue walked up to the four people, looked at Chen Yang's face, and then looked at the middle-aged man's face. Shen Nian had just entered the room and discovered that Chen Yang and the middle-aged man were 70% similar. There was no need to verify it, anyone could tell that they were father and son.

Chen Zhixue had obviously noticed this as well. He stepped forward and slapped Li Cui several times: "Tell me whose son Chen Yang is!"

Li Cui still felt like she was dreaming. Wasn't she going to Hong Kong to enjoy her life soon?! Why was she being held here by a bunch of police officers? And even being slapped in the face by Chen Zhixue?!

She couldn't be caught! No!

"Zhixue, Yangyang must be your son! I don't know this man, I don't know him!" Li Cui kept quibbling.

"How could you bring your good children to meet him here secretly if you didn't know him!" Chen Zhixue shouted at the top of his lungs, obviously having lost his mind.

"Alright, the police are investigating. If you have anything to say, go to the police station!" The leading police officer interrupted him, "Pull back up. Director Zhang, you also go and make a statement. You, the three siblings, and I should follow suit."

"Okay, Captain Zhou." Since this matter concerned the textile factory, Zhang Aiguo looked nervous.

Only then did Chen Zhixue look at the three siblings: "Why are you three all here?"

Shen Nian rolled his eyes and ignored him. He took one of his brothers in each hand and followed the police.

In the police station, Zhang Aiguo looked at the pile of things that were searched out from the guesthouse, then looked at the three children sitting opposite him, sighed and shook his head, what a misfortune for his family!

"Director Zhang, what's going on with these three children?" Captain Zhou asked him.

Zhang Aiguo then gave a brief account of Chen Zhijia's family affairs.

"It's really like this. Alas, these three children have suffered." Captain Zhou is also a father, and he couldn't help but feel distressed when looking at the three children.

"Is it true that Li Cui from Chen Zhijia's family has connections with spies?" Zhang Aiguo was still very concerned about this, after all, it concerned their factory.

"It's not clear yet. We'll know after the interrogation, but judging from the man's behavior of throwing things, it's probably true. If it's true, then these three siblings have done a great deed." Captain Zhou pondered for a moment, looking at Shen Nian and the other two outside.

Zhang Aiguo nodded: "They are very brave." The two chatted for a while.

By the time several people finished taking their statements and came out of the police station, it was already past lunch time. After what had happened, Chen Zhixue couldn't continue to work, so he simply asked Zhang Aiguo for another half-day leave. Zhang Aiguo had no choice but to agree and rushed back to the factory to deal with the follow-up matters.

Chen Zhixue returned home with his three children and went straight to his room. The room was in a mess. Li Cui's things were turned upside down, and her money and letters were missing. Chen Zhixue looked at the messy room and felt a little overwhelmed.

Shen Nian walked into the kitchen and started to make lunch. Seeing Shen Nian's silence, Chen Nianle and Chen Nian'an felt a little uneasy.

"Sister, will there be any problems for us?" Chen Nian'an asked Shen Nian in a low voice.

"No, we did everything right." Shen Nian comforted him, "Don't worry, I'm here."

While eating, Chen Zhixue stared at Shen Nian: "You reported it?"

Shen Nian nodded expressionlessly: "Yes, it's me. Catching bad elements is everyone's responsibility."

"Have you been pretending to be stupid?!" Chen Zhixue said shockingly.

Shen Nian looked at him and did not answer.

When Chen Zhixue saw that Shen Nian did not answer, he thought he had guessed it right and was shocked. He always thought that Shen Nian was really stupid, but he did not expect that she was pretending to be stupid and even exposed the affair between Li Cui and the spy.

"Why are you doing this?" Chen Zhixue couldn't help but ask.

"To protect myself and my family." Shen Nian replied calmly, "I don't want bad guys to hurt us anymore."

Chen Zhixue was silent. He looked at the three children in front of him and felt a little guilty for the first time. It turned out that they had grown up so much without him noticing. He looked at Shen Nian's face, which was similar to his deceased wife, and began to have some thoughts about his behavior.

Was he really wrong?

No! He was not wrong. He could not be wrong.
