Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

"You can go there and take a look, but whether you can see anyone depends on the arrangements of the Public Security Bureau."

Tao Hao and his family didn't dare to delay and rushed to the county public security bureau without stopping.

At the entrance of the Public Security Bureau, Tao Dashan stepped forward and explained his purpose to the police officer on duty.

After hearing this, the police officer told them to wait aside, then turned to ask his superiors if it could be arranged.

Every second of the wait felt incredibly long, and Tao Hao's family was on tenterhooks, unable to calm down for even a moment.

After a while, the police officer returned and told them, "Come with me, Tao Hao has been taken to the visiting room."

The family quickly got up and followed the police officer, their steps hurried, as if they would lose something if they were a step slower.

The family followed the police to the visiting room, and through the cold glass, they saw Tao Hao's haggard face.

Tao Hao's hair was disheveled, his eyes were filled with fear and regret, and there were still tear stains on his face.

When Tao Dashan saw his son, his eyes instantly reddened, and tears welled up in them.

He angrily pounded on the glass, yelling, "Tao Hao, you bastard! What were you thinking? How could you do something so stupid!"

The voice, filled with boundless anger and heartache, echoed in the visiting room.

Li Cuilan was already sobbing uncontrollably. Between sobs, she said, "Haozi, you've worried your mother to death! How could you be so inconsiderate!"

Her cries tugged at everyone's heartstrings, making them feel incredibly sorry for her.

Tao Yong, the second brother, also chimed in, "Little brother, you were too impulsive. Do you know how serious the consequences of your actions will be?"

His voice was filled with anxiety and a sense of frustration at his son's lack of progress.

Looking at his family, Tao Hao burst into tears. He choked out, "Dad, Mom, Brother, I know I was wrong. I regret it so much..."

"I was drunk at the time, and in a moment of impulse, I..."

As he spoke, he buried his face in his hands and cried even harder, his shoulders trembling violently.

Seeing Tao Hao's remorseful expression, the family felt both angry and heartbroken, but it was too late to say anything now.

After leaving the visiting room, Tao Dashan hurriedly grabbed a police officer and anxiously asked, "Comrade, what will happen to my son? Will he be sentenced?"

The police officer sighed and patiently explained, "It depends on the specific circumstances. If the person involved forgives him, then this matter may be treated as a fight."

"After all, I heard that the other party not only didn't die, but didn't even have any knife wounds or broken bones, at most a few scratches."

"But if the person involved doesn't forgive him, or even charges him with murder, then that would be a big problem, and he could face very serious penalties."

Upon hearing this, Tao Hao's family felt a tightness in their hearts, as if they were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

Tao Dashan pressed further, "Who is the person involved? Can we go and beg him to forgive my son?"

The police officer hesitated for a moment, but still said, "The person involved is Chen Dong, the son of the deputy director of the Urban Construction Bureau."

Upon hearing this name, Tao Hao and his family were stunned, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

Li Cuilan exclaimed in shock, "What? He's a son of an official? How dare Haozi use a fruit knife to kill someone!"

Tao Dashan stood there stunned for a while before he came to his senses and grabbed the police officer again.

They pleaded, "Comrade, please have mercy and tell us Chen Dong's home address? We want to go and beg him to let my son go."

The police officer looked troubled and said, "This is against regulations; I cannot disclose other people's addresses casually."

Tao Dashan was so anxious that he paced back and forth, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

After thinking for a moment, he quietly took out a hundred yuan from his pocket.

Then, when the police officer wasn't looking, he slipped it into his pocket.

Tao Dashan then said in a low voice, "Comrade, please do us a favor. My son really can't be hurt!"

The police officer's expression changed. He looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, whispered, "He lives in Unit 2, Building 3, Sunshine Community, Room 302."

"Don't tell anyone I told you when you go."

Tao Dashan nodded quickly, wrote down the address, and then hurriedly left with his family, preparing to go to Chen Dong's house to plead for leniency.

At this moment, their hearts were filled with trepidation and anticipation, wondering what the outcome of their plea would be.

Tao Dashan and his family rushed to the bottom of Unit 2, Building 3, Sunshine Community.

The family looked up at the window located in room 302.

That tightly closed window, in their eyes at that moment, seemed like the last door leading to hope.

It was like an insurmountable chasm, shrouded in a thick, suffocating haze.

Tao Hao's mother, Li Cuilan, gripped the hem of her clothes uncontrollably, her fingertips turning white from the excessive force, and her palms were covered in a fine layer of sweat from her nervousness.

Her lips trembled slightly, like a flickering candle in the wind, as she muttered softly, "Haozi, you've really gotten yourself into this mess. How could you be so foolish..."

Tao Hao's mother's voice was full of helplessness and sorrow.

Tao Yong frowned, his brows furrowed into a deep frown, and paced back and forth in place.

Each step felt exceptionally heavy, as if a thousand-pound stone was tied to my feet.

He tried to calm himself down, but his hurried and disordered steps ruthlessly betrayed his inner panic.

His eyes were filled with anxiety and unease, and he kept glancing at the window, as if hoping for a miracle.

Lin Xiaomin stood to the side, gently patting Li Cuilan's back and whispering comforting words: "Mom, don't worry too much, let's talk to them properly."

But her own voice trembled slightly, revealing an undisguised unease.

A hint of confusion flickered in her eyes; even she herself was unsure if there was any hope in this plea for leniency.

They took a deep breath, as if gathering all their courage, and walked upstairs with heavy, leaden steps.

Standing at the entrance of 302, Tao Dashan raised his hand, which hovered in the air for a while, as if bound by an invisible force.

After hesitating for a long time, torn between his own feelings and his own conscience, he finally rang the doorbell.

Each time they pressed the doorbell, it felt like a heavy hammer blow to their hearts, making their heartbeats quicken and feel like they were about to leap out of their throats.

The door opened, revealing Chen Jianguo's serious face.

When he saw the unfamiliar face standing at the door, his brows furrowed instantly, and his eyes revealed wariness and displeasure.

He coldly snorted, "Who are you? What do you want?"

The sound seemed to carry the cold wind of winter, sending chills down one's spine.

Tao Dashan quickly stepped forward, his face full of ingratiating smiles.

The smile, however, appeared somewhat stiff due to nervousness and unease, as if it were an ill-fitting mask.

Tao Dashan said with a trembling voice, "You must be Deputy Director Chen? We are Tao Hao's family."
