Chapter 73 Putting on a Sack

Just as He Qiuyan was thinking about how to deal with Lu Qingzhu, he was inexplicably stuffed in a sack, beaten up, and had his leg broken.

He only knew that he felt a tingling sensation in his back followed by pain all over his body. When he regained consciousness, he was already in the hospital.

The pain brought him back to his senses. Looking at his leg, which was wrapped up tightly, He Qiuyan's face was gloomy. He had come back for the New Year, and in the past few days, he had only offended Lu Qingzhu. It must have been Lu Qingzhu who had someone do this.

"Damn the Lu family! I must find something to hold against you!" He cursed inwardly, but he couldn't show it on his face. The Lu family was still quite powerful, and he couldn't show any hostility towards them until he was confident he could bring them down. Otherwise, his family would be trampled into the mud.

When he offended the Lu family, it was impossible for them to let him go—or rather, it was their family's fault.

In the short few days after he was beaten and hospitalized, the He family disappeared from the compound. It is unknown who reported them. When the police came to investigate, only He's mother was left at home. The police found items at several locations provided by the informant.

Except for He Qiuyan, who is hospitalized, everyone else in the He family has been arrested by the police.

There was a large banyan tree closest to the He family's house, where many elderly women would sit and chat after their meals. The police arrived just in time for these women to gather.

In an instant, news of the He family's affair spread throughout the entire compound. The items seized from the He family's home were in the hands of the police, and everyone saw them.

Not only were there small yellow croakers, but also large yellow croakers and gold jewelry. They also found several letters and an account book. The police officers who found the account book were quite surprised. How did the informant know that the account book was hidden in the crack in the wall? It was hidden so well, yet someone still found out about it.

The ledger was found inside the legs of the table in the study. Three of the table's four legs were empty, and something was hidden inside each one.

Besides this ledger, the small yellow croaker and gold jewelry were also found there, along with a few letters.

The head of the He family works as a purchasing agent in the logistics department. This ledger contains the money and valuables he has kept over the years. Because paper money has been unstable in recent years, He Qiuyan's father converted all the money he had earned into gold and hid it inside the legs of his desk.

Some of the letters instructed him to replace certain items in the military supplies and then transport them to a certain place for exchange. With these items, the He family's guilt would be confirmed, and they would never be able to get out of prison again. Moreover, He Qiuyan's father, as the culprit, would definitely have to eat peanuts.

When He's mother saw the police enter, she actually thought of running away, which shows that she knew the seriousness of the matter.

He Qiuyan only learned what had happened at home when the police arrived at the hospital. But in his condition, he couldn't run away and was simply carried to the police station.

After learning of the He family's downfall, two of the girls who had been deceived by He Qiuyan sued him.

With conclusive evidence, the trial proceeded very quickly. Since the He family consisted of adults—He Qiuyan's parents, two younger sisters, and a younger brother, the youngest of whom was seventeen—the three men, terrified by the police interrogation, readily revealed everything they knew.

Although the three of them were not involved, they all knew about the matter, so they were considered accomplices. However, their crimes were relatively minor, and they were all sentenced to less than 5 years of labor reform. After the verdict, the police took them home, packed two sets of clothes and bedding, and then sent them to a farm in a remote area for labor reform.

He Qiuyan and his parents were not so lucky. He Qiuyan's father was the most guilty and was fed peanuts.

He Qiuyun's mother was sentenced to thirty years of labor reform because she participated in and helped with the case. He Zhiyan also helped, and was even punished for his previous hooliganism.

With the He family's affair now concluded, Lu Zhiheng sighed softly upon learning the verdict. He and He's father had once been comrades in arms, but after He's father was wounded and retired from the battlefield, they rarely saw each other again.

Although they lived in the same compound, they rarely interacted after He's father transferred to the logistics department. Lu Zhiheng didn't know why. Since He's father transferred to the logistics department, he gradually distanced himself from his relationship with his brothers. When Lu Zhiheng learned that he had made such a big mistake, he was initially taken aback.

Later, I came to terms with it. Even if my brother made such a big mistake, he should be punished by law.

Actually, they originally intended to take action and just give them a small punishment, since they were once brothers. However, before they could do anything, the He family was reported.

The two brothers investigated but couldn't find out who reported it. Moreover, the places reported were all places where they hid things, and the information was accurate, making it hard not to suspect that it might have been someone in their family.

But then the whole family was arrested. Besides, who would do something so stupid as to report their own family? Unless you can sever ties with your family, you'll suffer along with them.

He Caiwei rubbed her hands together. When she heard that the scumbag was being fed peanuts, she felt a moment of satisfaction.

To be honest, she only wanted to punish He Qiuyan a little, but after seeing the account book and He Qiuyan's perverted diary at the He family's house, she decided to give them a harsher punishment, so he wouldn't be able to disgust people here anymore.

That diary records everything about this man, starting from high school. It details which girls he dated, his opinions of those girls, and even his intimate moments.

He Caiwei felt disgusted by what she saw, but she had confirmed that He Qiuyan had committed hooliganism. The main evidence was this diary. Later, two girls sued him, which was something she hadn't expected.

After all, girls nowadays value their reputation a lot, and very few would call the police for something like this.

"Oh my, I'm so grateful to the person who reported this. That person is really amazing. They were able to find so much evidence and completely destroy the He family. Dad, Uncle, can we buy two more strings of firecrackers this year? I'm so happy, I can't help it!" Lu Qingzhu was so happy when she heard the verdict that she danced around in the living room. Later, she even thought about buying two more strings of firecrackers to celebrate.

"You brat, I think you just want to set off firecrackers. Dream on! I won't let you set off a single string of firecrackers this year. Let's see how you have fun then. Get the hell out of here."

Lu Zhining gave her son a cold look, then kicked him in the butt.

Lu Qingzhu was so frightened that she scrambled away from her father.

This old man kicks people quite hard; if someone gets kicked like that, they'll definitely roll around several times. He can't afford to lose face in front of his sister.
