Instructing her daughter to practice throwing knives, the police were frightened and asked to file

"Dad, I'm dealing with something and will be back soon." Zhou Ran said and hung up the phone.

He signaled his men to let go of Liu Yanjiu and Sun Tingting, then straightened his clothes and turned to leave.

Liu Yanjiu and Sun Tingting were confused by this sudden change. They looked at Zhou Ran's departing back, their hearts full of doubts.

Zhou Ran returned home and found his father sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for him. Mr. Zhou had a serious expression and sharp eyes.

"Dad, what do you want to talk to me about?" Zhou Ran asked, trying to remain calm.

Mr. Zhou looked at him and took a deep breath: "Zhou Ran, do you know where you went wrong?"

Zhou Ran was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "I was wrong? How was I wrong? I was just protecting my own interests."

"Protecting your own interests?" President Zhou shouted angrily, "Your so-called interests mean bullying classmates, collecting protection fees, or even engaging in illegal transactions? If you do this, you will only damage the reputation of the Zhou family!"

Zhou Ran was choked by his father's words and was speechless. He knew he had done a lot of wrong things, but he always thought his father would protect him. He didn't expect his father to be so angry.

"Zhou Ran, let me tell you." Mr. Zhou's voice suddenly softened. "I was young once, and I made mistakes. But later I realized that true strength is not achieved by bullying and exploiting others, but by integrity and cooperation. Do you think what you did can make me happy? On the contrary, it only makes me disappointed and sad."

Zhou Ran was touched when he heard his father's words. He had always lived under his father's shadow and always wanted to surpass his father and prove himself. But the way he chose was wrong.

"Dad, I..." Zhou Ran wanted to say something, but found himself speechless.

Mr. Zhou looked at him and sighed: "Zhou Ran, you have grown up and have your own ideas and practices. I can't control you all the time. But you must remember that no matter what you do, you must live up to your conscience and moral bottom line. If you dare to do it again, don't blame me for being rude."

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. The nanny opened the door, and Sun Tingting and Liu Yanjiu walked in. Their appearance broke the deadlock between father and son.

Zhou Ran was shocked when he saw Sun Tingting and Liu Yanjiu. He didn't expect them to dare to come directly to Zhou's house. What surprised him even more was that his father didn't get angry when he saw them, but motioned for them to sit down.

"Uncle Zhou, we are here to negotiate terms." Sun Tingting looked at Mr. Zhou and said calmly. Her eyes were firm and her tone revealed an unquestionable strength. Liu Yanjiu seemed a little panicked. He secretly glanced at Zhou Ran and then lowered his head.

Zhou Ran looked at Sun Tingting with interest: "Humph, you are quite courageous." His tone was playful and provocative. But Sun Tingting was not afraid. She looked directly into Zhou Ran's eyes and did not flinch.

Sun Tingting didn't care about Zhou Ran's provocation. She quickly regained her composure, glared at Zhou Ran coldly, and then turned to Mr. Zhou.

"Uncle Zhou, we hope you can understand that we are not here to cause trouble." Sun Tingting's tone was firm and powerful. "We just hope you can control Zhou Ran's behavior. What he did has seriously affected our lives and studies."

When Mr. Zhou heard what Sun Tingting said, his brows slightly frowned. He glanced at Zhou Ran and then sighed: "Tingting, you are right. Zhou Ran did do a lot of wrong things. I will discipline him. But I also hope you can give him a chance to reform."

Sun Tingting was slightly relieved when she heard what Mr. Zhou said. She knew that Mr. Zhou was a reasonable person, and as long as he was willing to discipline Zhou Ran, there was hope that the problem could be solved.

However, Zhou Ran didn't think so. He felt that he was suppressed by his father and Sun Tingting and others, and his heart was full of resentment and dissatisfaction. He glared at Sun Tingting, then sneered: "Sun Tingting, who do you think you are? Why do you want to take care of my business? I tell you, this is not the place for you to run wild!"

After saying that, he stood up suddenly and prepared to leave the living room. But at this moment, Mr. Zhou suddenly stopped him: "Zhou Ran, stop right there!"

Zhou Ran was stunned for a moment, then reluctantly turned around and looked at his father: "Dad, do you have anything else to say?"

Mr. Zhou's face turned pale. He walked up to Zhou Ran and said word by word, "Zhou Ran, I'm telling you, if you dare to do anything stupid again, I'll just pretend I don't have a son like you!"

Zhou Ran was shocked by his father's words. He couldn't believe his ears. Although his father was strict with him since he was a child, he had never said such harsh words. He knew that his father was serious. If he didn't change his ways, he would really lose this family.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ran couldn't help but feel a sense of fear and regret. He knew that he had done a lot of wrong things and hurt a lot of people. But now it was too late to regret, and he could only find a way to make up for his mistakes.

As soon as Zhou Ran finished speaking, President Zhou slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Zhou Ran, shut up! Look at your behavior now! Tingting and the others are your classmates and friends. How can you talk to them in this way?"

Zhou Ran was shocked by his father's sudden roar. He stared at his father with eyes wide open in disbelief. He had never seen his father so angry before, and for a moment he was at a loss what to do.

Sun Tingting looked at Zhou Ran and felt pity for him. Although she was angry and disappointed with his behavior, she didn't want to see him being deserted by his friends and family. She took a deep breath and said, "Uncle Zhou, don't be angry. Zhou Ran was just impulsive. I believe he will understand our efforts."

Liu Yanjiu also quickly agreed, "Yes, Uncle Zhou, please don't get angry. Zhou Ran is not a bad person by nature, he was just led astray by some people. As long as we guide him well, he will definitely change for the better."

However, Zhou Ran did not appreciate their kindness. He sneered, "Stop pretending to be a good guy here! I don't need your sympathy and pity! Don't you just want to see me make a fool of myself? I tell you, I, Zhou Ran, am not that easy to be defeated!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave the living room, but was stopped by Mr. Zhou's angry shout: "Zhou Ran, stop right there! If you dare to step out of this house today, you will never come back!"

Zhou Ran paused, turned around and looked at his father's angry face, and suddenly a sense of inexplicable grievance and anger surged in his heart. He felt that he was abandoned by the whole world, and no one understood or supported him. He widened his eyes and roared: "If you don't want to come back, then don't come back! Do you think I care about this family? I tell you, I, Zhou Ran, can make a name for myself!"

After saying that, he resolutely turned around and walked towards the door. Sun Tingting and Liu Yanjiu wanted to step forward to stop him, but were stopped by President Zhou: "Let him go! Let him go outside and sober up! If he can't even stand this little setback, how can he achieve great things in the future?"

Zhou Ran walked out of the house without looking back, and Mr. Zhou's heavy sigh was heard behind him.

Walking out of the house, the cold wind blowing in his face made Zhou Ran's mind a little clearer. He walked quickly on the street, his heart full of confusion and anxiety. He didn't know where his future was, nor did he know where he should go.

At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang. He took out his cell phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. He hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call. "Hello, is this Zhou Ran?" A strange voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's me, who are you?" Zhou Ran asked vigilantly.

"I'm Officer Wang from the police station. There are some things I need to consult you about." Officer Wang's tone was serious and firm.

Zhou Ran was shocked. He didn't know why the police station came to him. He subconsciously wanted to hang up the phone, but Officer Wang's next words stopped him.

"Zhou Ran, we know that you have done a lot of illegal things. But now there is a chance for you to make amends. Are you willing to cooperate with us?" There was a hint of temptation in Officer Wang's tone.

Zhou Ran couldn't help but waver when he heard this. He knew that what he had done had violated the law, and if he continued like this, he would only fall into a deeper predicament. He took a deep breath and asked, "What do I need to do?"

"It's very simple. You just need to provide us some clues to help us solve a major case." Officer Wang's tone sounded a little more relaxed.

Zhou Ran was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath: "Okay, I'm willing to cooperate with you."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ran felt unprecedented relief and ease. He knew he had made the right choice and was about to face a huge challenge. But he was not afraid, because he knew that only in this way could he find himself again and be redeemed.

At the same time, in the Zhou family's living room, Sun Tingting and Liu Yanjiu were still persuading Mr. Zhou: "Uncle Zhou, don't be too angry. Zhou Ran was just impulsive. We believe he will come back."

Mr. Zhou sighed, "I know he was impulsive, but he went too far this time! He actually dared to do so many illegal things! I am so disappointed!"

"Uncle Zhou, don't worry, we will help find Zhou Ran." Sun Tingting said, "After all, we are classmates, and we can't just watch him go astray."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. The nanny went to open the door, and a uniformed policeman walked in: "Excuse me, who is Mr. Zhou? We need to ask him something."

Mr. Zhou was shocked when he saw the police coming in. He didn't know what had happened. He quickly stood up and asked, "I'm Mr. Zhou. What can I do for you?"

The police looked at him and said, "Mr. Zhou, we suspect that your son Zhou Ran is involved in a serious illegal case. Now we need you to cooperate with our investigation."

Hearing this, Mr. Zhou's face turned pale instantly. He knew that his son had really gotten into big trouble this time...

At this time, Zhou Ran had already arrived at the police station. He was ready to confess everything to the police and cooperate with them in investigating the big case. He knew that this was his only chance to atone for his sins and the starting point for a new beginning. He took a deep breath and walked into the door of the police station.

Zhou Ran walked into the police station, and the cold air made him feel even more depressed. He looked around and saw the police officers with serious expressions and the cold walls. He couldn't help but feel a little scared and regretful. He knew that he had done a lot of wrong things, but now he had no way out and could only confess everything and cooperate with the police investigation.

A policeman came over, looked at Zhou Ran and asked, "Are you Zhou Ran?"

Zhou Ran nodded, his voice trembling a little: "Yes, I am Zhou Ran."

"Please follow me, we need to know something from you." said the policeman, turning and walking towards an interrogation room.

Zhou Ran followed the police into the interrogation room and sat on a cold chair. He looked at the policeman opposite him, took a deep breath, and prepared to confess everything.

"Zhou Ran, do you know why we are looking for you?" the police asked coldly.

Zhou Ran nodded: "I know, I have done a lot of illegal things."

"So what are you going to do next?" the police asked.

"I am willing to confess everything and cooperate with your investigation." Zhou Ran said with his head lowered, "I know I was wrong, and I don't want to make the same mistake again."

The police looked at each other, and then one of them took out a document and placed it in front of Zhou Ran: "This is your criminal record. Take a close look at it and see if there is anything missing or wrong."

Zhou Ran picked up the document, looked through it carefully, and nodded: "There are no omissions or mistakes. These are all things I have done."

“Then do you know how much harm your actions have caused to the victims and society?” The policeman’s tone became stern.

Zhou Ran was silent for a while, then looked up at the policeman: "I know I have caused a lot of harm, but I am willing to take responsibility and try my best to make up for it."

The police looked at Zhou Ran, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Since you are willing to cooperate with our investigation and take responsibility, we will give you a chance. But you must understand that this opportunity is hard to come by, and you must cherish it."

When Zhou Ran heard this, he couldn't help but feel touched. He nodded quickly and said, "I will cherish this opportunity."

In the following time, Zhou Ran confessed all his crimes to the police and provided some valuable clues to help the police solve a major case. Although he knew that his crimes could not be completely pardoned, he still felt a sense of relief and relief.

At the same time, Sun Tingting and Liu Yanjiu were also actively helping Zhou Ran. They explained the situation to Mr. Zhou and persuaded him to visit Zhou Ran at the police station. Although Mr. Zhou was still a little angry, he also knew that his son needed care and support. So he decided to visit Zhou Ran at the police station and give him a chance to reform.

When Zhou Ran saw his father walk into the interrogation room, his eyes instantly moistened. He knew that he had disappointed his father many times, but now he finally had the opportunity to prove to his father that he had changed. He stood up, walked to his father, and bowed deeply: "Dad, I'm sorry, I disappointed you." (End of this chapter)
