“If the situation is serious, you could face a prison sentence of more than three years and less than seven!”


    “So I advise you, you must be honest and cooperate with our investigation! Otherwise, you will only cause yourself harm!”


    Upon hearing this, the eldest daughter-inw was terrified at the thought of a potential death sentence, and shepletely broke down.


    The second daughter-inw, who had a timid disposition, was so frightened by the news that she copsed onto the floor.


    In that moment, the eldest daughter-inw lost her earlier bravado and urgently pleaded with the police, “What should we do now? You’ve arrested all the elders in our family, and we’re left as orphans and widows, waiting for our doom!”<fnfada> Official source is find·novel</fnfada><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    The police reassured her, “Don’t worry, I will contact yourmunity neighborhoodmittee right away to keep an eye on your situation. If you have any needs, the neighborhoodmittee will certainly assist you. However, I must emphasize that you need to understand what is legal and what is illegal. With three criminal suspects in your family already, you must avoid taking any actions that could lead you down a path ofwbreaking!”


    With that, the police officer waved to his colleagues, stating, “Close the team!”


    Everyone quicklyplied, escorting the father and son into a police car for transport to the station.


    As several police cars sped away, the second daughter-inw wept uncontrobly and anxiously asked the eldest daughter-inw, “Sister-inw… what are we going to do now?”


    Feeling equally frightened, the eldest daughter-inw murmured, “I don’t know either… This is the first time I’ve had such a lengthy conversation with the police…”


    “Sister-inw, we need to call our mother right away! She must help us figure this out!” the second daughter-inw urged.


    Snapping back to reality, the eldest daughter-inw replied, “You’re right! I’ll call Mom now!”


    Without hesitation, she pulled out her mobile phone and dialed Soleil.


    Soleil’s phone, which she kept close at hand, was specifically for familymunications, and only her loved ones had her number.


    Thinking it was another call from her eldest son, she frowned when she saw it was the eldest daughter-inw calling instead.


    Soleil had never been particrly fond of her eldest daughter-inw, viewing her as abrasive, overly assertive, and somewhat foolish. However, at the time of their marriage, Soleil was eager for a grandson, so she reluctantly epted the union.


    As the daughter-inw started earning more, Soleil’s dissatisfaction grew. Just moments ago, she had wished her eldest son would find a different wife; it was more than just idle talk—she had a genuine n in mind but hadn’t acted on it until now.


    She had intended that upon her retirement and return to China, her first course of action would be to remove the eldest daughter-inw from the picture.


    Now, seeing the eldest daughter-inw’s name on her phone, she instinctively assumed that the woman must have overheard her conversation with her son and was calling for assistance.


    Soleil answered the call, her tone unfriendly, “Why are you calling me so early? Don’t you realize how early it is here?”


    In distress, the eldest daughter-inw replied, “Mom… it’s a huge problem… everyone has been taken away by the police!”
