Chapter 488 There was such a big Zhongshan wolf lying next to him!
Old Man Ruan didn't wake up until the next day. He was furious with his son. In addition to the pain from being beaten, he also suffered from the aftereffects of a high blood pressure attack, and he felt dizzy and listless.
"woke up?"
The familiar yet unfamiliar male voice forced him to open his eyes wide, and his heart skipped a beat—it was Zhou Wen!
How could he be here? Did he already know?
What about that unfilial son? What did he say?
Wouldn't he be doomed then?
Old Man Ruan's eyes darted around, but he didn't dare look at the man standing beside his bed.
Zhou Wen's face was cold and stern as he stared intently at Old Man Ruan, who was clearly about to argue his way out of a situation. "Your son has already said everything he needed to say. Do you have anything to add?"
The two policemen at the foot of the bed looked at each other in surprise. They were unaware of what had happened at the hospital yesterday. When they arrived today, Zhou Wen was already waiting in Old Man Ruan's ward.
As if knowing what the police were thinking, Zhou Wen immediately handed them the notebook that he had been keeping on the bedside table.
"You two can take a look first."
Old Man Ruan then realized that the police were watching him, and his eyelids twitched violently, his ominous premonition growing stronger.
Zhou Wen, this little brat, grew up in the Zhou family and has picked up some of the confidence that only city dwellers have. Moreover, the Zhou family has always helped and supported him, and now he even has the status and ability to casually strike up a conversation with the police officers.
Old Man Ruan was uneasy and resentful, and his stomach was churning with acid, almost causing him to have another attack of his illness.
Such impressive descendants are what he dreams of having, not only to bring glory to the family, but also to leapfrog social classes and become a person of high status.
Their family once had a chance, but unfortunately, it's all impossible now.
This possibility was completely eliminated from their grasp, leaving the Ruan family with no chance of recovery.
Old Man Ruan knew this all too well.
"I don't know what you mean, and you have no right to arrest me. Please leave now!"
Old Man Ruan only has high blood pressure, he's not mentally ill, and he didn't take the wrong medication, so how could he confess so easily?
Moreover, his hospitalization this time was caused by his daughter-in-law and son. Just like how the father abandoned his father, the old man Ruan had no affection for his son.
“Whatever my son and daughter-in-law did is their own business and has nothing to do with me. As for my granddaughter Ruan Hongmei, she did do some despicable things, and you are free to arrest her if you want.”
There's no such thing as family affection in the Ruan family!
Zhou Wen snorted coldly. He had long known that this slippery old scoundrel had ulterior motives. He had ignored him most of the time because he didn't want to deal with him, but now he couldn't do whatever he wanted.
"Hmph! I interrogated your son overnight last night, and he confessed to bringing the Japanese to kill my father and to taking credit for the Zhou family's kindness. The police have his confession in their hands now!"
The net of Heaven is vast, its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it; what you are owed will not be spared, and what you are not entitled to will not be left behind!
Hearing the author's confident words, Old Man Ruan's already pent-up energy suddenly gave way, and he could no longer hold on. He didn't have a relapse, but he had already begun to feel that life was worse than death.
"He...he...what he said isn't true..."
His voice was so weak that he didn't dare to look at Zhou Wen anymore, and he was even more afraid of being questioned by the police.
Seeing his pale and weak appearance, as if he were about to die, Zhou Wen couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
"If what he said isn't true, why are you feeling guilty? And why won't you look at me?!"
After saying that, he disregarded his identity as a soldier and slapped the old man's mouth several times, causing blood to flow onto the bedsheets.
"Ruan Cishan (Old Man Ruan's real name), how could you be so heartless? How could you do such a heinous thing? And you still have the nerve to ask the Zhou family for benefits without any qualms? Over the years, haven't you had nightmares every time you wake up in the middle of the night?!"
Those slaps were quite hard. The two police officers, having read Mr. Ruan's statement, were also furious about the old man's shamelessness, so they did not intervene.
Only after Zhou Wen finished beating the man did they symbolically stop him.
“He is guilty, and the law will punish him. Don’t be impulsive. It’s not worth jeopardizing your future for someone like him.”
Old Man Ruan's mouth was full of blood and foam, making it impossible for him to speak. In fact, he didn't know what to say. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth in a disheveled manner and simply closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.
His current attitude is almost tantamount to admitting what Ruan's father accused him of.
After exchanging a few more words with Zhou Wen, the police sent him away, and then they began their investigation.
The two tacitly refrained from pursuing the matter of Zhou Wen interrogating Ruan's father without their consent the previous day.
It's obvious who's behind this if you think about it. We've already gotten the confessions we needed, so why make things worse?
The next morning, Zhou Wen made a special trip to the Zhou family home. It happened to be a day off, and Grandpa Zhou was not at work and was already waiting for him.
Mr. Zhou didn't tell Mrs. Zhou what happened in the Ruan family later, so as not to upset her. Knowing that the old man might lose his temper today, he used this excuse to coax his wife out.
Zhou Wenxian handed over the statement he had copied from the police station, and began to recount the events in a serious tone as he listened to the sound of the papers turning.
"Back then, after you were attacked by the Japanese army from Japan, you were separated from the main force. My father carried you, who was unconscious, into the mountains alone. He happened to meet Ruan Cishan, who was hunting in the mountains. He always showed great support for the army. He not only helped my father find herbs, but also volunteered to keep watch outside the cave."
Zhou Wen recalled the contents of his confession, gritted his teeth in anger, and calmed himself down several times before continuing.
“At that time, you were seriously injured and had a high fever, so you were in a daze and needed someone to be with you. That's why my father agreed to his request.”
Unexpectedly, during his exercise break, he encountered Japanese soldiers searching the mountain and was captured. In order to survive, he led the Japanese soldiers back up the mountain to find you.
My father sensed something was wrong and hid you first. He then fought desperately against the Japanese soldiers, but was ultimately outnumbered and killed by a hail of bullets!
At this moment, Zhou Wen's voice was already tinged with sobs, and even more so with gritted teeth.
Old Master Zhou's face was also not good. Those few pages of paper seemed to weigh a ton, and he couldn't help but tremble when he held them in his hands.
"My father never revealed your whereabouts until his death. The Japanese soldiers went down the mountain soon after they couldn't find you. After confirming that the Japanese soldiers would not go up the mountain again, Ruan Cishan, that treacherous villain, went back up the mountain to search again. Taking advantage of his familiarity with the terrain, he finally found you and brought you back."
This is the whole story of how he fraudulently claimed a favor.
After Zhou Wen finished speaking, his gaze slowly turned to Old Master Zhou.
The old man remained silent for a long time before slowly saying:
"When I woke up, I found myself in a farmhouse. That bastard surnamed Ruan was overjoyed, saying something like, 'Thank God I survived. It wasn't for nothing that he carried me through so many mountains. It's also a way to live up to the last trust your father gave him.'"
I never imagined that his claim of saving my life was a lie, and that the truth behind his act of shielding me from a bullet was like this.”
There was such a huge Zhongshan wolf lying next to him!
