Suddenly, I discovered that my brother-in-law had some flaws and a less-than-honorable side, so how could I not expose him? Let everyone see, let my mother-in-law see, is her eldest son-in-law, whom she praises every day, really as good as she says?

Thus, the act of nitpicking turned into a prostitution ring case, involving quite a few people, which can be considered a lucky accident.

However, this is also a good thing. Knowing that Cao Jianjun had his own ulterior motives in this matter, he was too lazy to care.

On the other hand, Cao Jianjun had been in a very good mood these past two days since his brother-in-law was arrested. He had finally finished giving his statement and completing the initial analysis, and could go home after get off work.

As soon as Cao Jianjun entered the door, he happily called out, "Zhou Hui, wife, are you home? Let's not cook today, let's go out to eat."

"Dad!" Before his wife could speak, the child ran out and jumped into his arms. Then Zhou Hui came out of the bedroom and shushed him.

Cao Jianjun was taken aback and asked in a low voice, "Wife, what's wrong?"

Zhou Hui whispered, "Be careful, my sister is crying in our room!"

Cao Jianjun immediately understood what was going on. His brother-in-law hadn't been home for two days because the case was still under investigation and he was too ashamed to contact his family. How could he not cry?

But he pretended to be clueless and said, "Sister's crying! Why are you crying? What happened?"

Zhou Hui sighed and said, "My sister is fine, but my brother-in-law is in trouble. He suddenly lost contact, his phone is off, his car isn't at the company, and nobody knows where he went. Nobody in the company knows anything about him. My sister is so worried!"

At this moment, Zhou Cong came out from inside: "Jianjun is back? Your brother-in-law is missing. You're a policeman, you're good at this, can you help find him?"

Cao Jianjun quickly said, "Sister, don't panic, sit down first, sit down and tell me. What happened?"

Zhou Cong sobbed, "Jianjun, you don't know, your brother-in-law went to work the day before yesterday morning and hasn't come back. He sometimes works overtime at the company and doesn't come home, but it's been two days now and there's not a single word from him."

“I panicked and called him, but his phone was off. When I went to his company to ask, no one there knew where he had gone.”

"Jianjun, where did your brother-in-law go? Has he been kidnapped? Jianjun, you're a policeman, you have to help and find him!"

Cao Jianjun reassured her, "Sister, please sit down. Don't worry, your husband will be fine."

He turned to his wife and said, "Zhou Hui, come in, I have something to tell you."

"Please have a seat, sister." Zhou Hui smiled at her sister, knowing something was up, and followed Cao Jianjun into the bedroom.

Zhou Hui wasn't stupid; seeing her husband's reaction, she knew something was wrong. She asked, "Jianjun, what do you mean? Do you know where my brother-in-law is?"

Cao Jianjun thought for a moment and said, "He went to Somalia."

Zhou Hui thought she had misheard: "What?"

Cao Jianjun continued, "One of his company's employees was kidnapped in Somalia, and he went to Somalia to rescue the hostage."

Zhou Hui exploded: "Cao Jianjun! Do you think I'm a fool? Is Sun Youguang that kind of person?"

Cao Jianjun chuckled and said, "My wife is so smart, she knew this lie wouldn't work, but my brother-in-law still insisted that I say it this way."

Zhou Hui was a little confused: "He told you to tell me, so you've seen him. Do you know where he is? Why hasn't he been able to go home these past few days?"

Cao Jianjun considered for a moment and then explained the situation to him.

Zhou Hui exclaimed in surprise, "What? Sun Youguang, he..."

Cao Jianjun pulled her aside: "Keep your voice down, do you think I'd joke about something like this?"

Thinking of her sister's heartbroken expression, Zhou Hui gritted her teeth and said, "That Sun Youguang, just to lie, he actually made up a lie about Somalia. Does he really think my sister is a fool? Even if my sister is a fool, she still has me, her sister!"

Cao Jianjun looked at her and said, "Wife, at the police station, my brother-in-law repeatedly told me to keep it a secret from your sister and not to let the station notify the family, so as not to expose the matter. What do you think we should do about this?"

Zhou Hui glared at him: "What should we do? Tell the truth! Let my sister and my mother know what kind of person he is."

She snorted and said, "I knew he wasn't a good person, but I didn't expect it to be exposed so quickly. Let's see what my mom says now, and how she can praise him."

Cao Jianjun looked troubled and said, "Honey, my brother-in-law repeatedly told me to keep this a secret. What if my sister finds out and it affects their relationship?"

Zhou Hui said, "So what if it has an impact? What impact can such a lecherous old man have?"

Cao Jianjun shook his head and said, "If you want to tell me, you can, but I won't."

Zhou Hui was furious: "I'll say it, let's go!"

Just as the two were about to leave, Zhou Hui suddenly remembered something, looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "Oh, you suddenly asked me to go out to eat? What, are you happy that your brother-in-law was arrested?"

Cao Jianjun's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Wife, what are you saying? I just see you taking care of the housework all day long, it's too tiring..."

Zhou Hui rolled her eyes at him: "Hmph, even if you're happy, it's nothing. Don't say you're happy, even I'm happy. Mom always says Sun Youguang is successful and you're useless, let's see what she has to say this time."

.........

Over here, Zhou Cong was getting impatient and got up to call Zhou Hui. When he reached the bedroom door, he happened to run into Cao Jianjun talking to Zhou Hui about Sun Youguang.

"What am I supposed to say about this? Tell my brother-in-law he got arrested for soliciting prostitutes? People who can get into that place aren't ordinary people. A membership card costs 1.2 million, and you can't get in without an introduction! But it should be relatively safe; you won't get any diseases..."

Zhou Cong was stunned by these words. She hadn't expected the answer to be like this. If possible, she would rather not have known. After a long while in a daze, Zhou Cong ran back to her parents' house like a madwoman.

As soon as he got home, Zhou Cong burst into tears: "Mom, with Guang in this mess, I can't live anymore!"

The mother-in-law was startled: "What's wrong? What's wrong with Youguang? Don't panic, daughter, tell me what's wrong. Is Youguang still alive? As long as he's alive, things will be easier."

The father-in-law also came up to him: "Cong, what happened? You've worried your mother and me to death!"

Zhou Cong choked up as he said, "Dad, Mom, there's light in him..."

The mother-in-law stamped her feet anxiously: "My dear daughter, what happened? Was she kidnapped? Did she make any demands? How much money do you want?!"

Zhou Cong finally blurted out, "Mom, You Guang is fine. He was arrested by the police for soliciting prostitutes!"

"Ah!" The two old men were both stunned.

Zhou Cong cried out, "I don't want to live anymore. I spend all my time at home taking care of his parents and supporting his children, while he's out there indulging in debauchery. He even spent 1.2 million yuan on a membership to a prostitute! No wonder he doesn't come home for several days a week... I don't want to live anymore, I want a divorce!"

The father-in-law was furious: "I knew Sun Youguang was no good. He deserves it; the police should have taught him a lesson. Divorce him, this time it's a must!"

The mother-in-law, however, thought differently. She glared at her father-in-law and said, "Cong! Don't be too sad. Youguang actually did something like this. Have the police detain him for a few more days, and don't let him off easily when he comes back. This kind of man just needs to be taught a lesson. Stop crying, will crying bring him back?"

Zhou Cong kept crying: "Mom, I'm heartbroken, I can't live anymore..."

The mother-in-law said irritably, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't want to live, then die! When you die, leave the family and children to him, and let him find a woman who is younger and prettier than you, and leave all the family property to her."

Zhou Cong fell silent.

The mother-in-law scolded the father-in-law again: "What are you still doing standing around here? Congcong hasn't eaten yet, has he? Hurry up and go make Congcong a bowl of noodles."

The father-in-law sighed and went to the kitchen.

Zhou Cong's mother-in-law pulled him aside: "Cong! Come on, let's go inside, Mom will talk to you slowly."

After calming Zhou Cong down, her mother-in-law went to the bathroom, wrung out a towel, and handed it to her: "Wipe your face. You're useless for crying when something happens. Try doing this to your sister."

Zhou Cong said, "I just came back from my sister's house. It was my brother-in-law who told me."

The mother-in-law was immediately displeased. Even though her eldest son-in-law had gone to a prostitute, in her mind, her wealthy son-in-law was still better than Cao Jianjun.

He snorted and said disdainfully, "He's just a cop, all he can do is handle this kind of thing. Logically speaking, shouldn't he be trying to get his brother-in-law out of this mess? Not only is he not trying, but he also lets you know what kind of person he is!"

Zhou Cong couldn't stand it anymore: "Mom, why are you saying this? He was the one who solicited a prostitute, why are you blaming him?"

"Mom, I want a divorce."

The mother-in-law was taken aback, then said seriously, "Congcong, have you thought this through? If we get a divorce, how will you support yourself?"

Zhou Cong said, "We've been married for so many years, what am I afraid of? Anyway, I'll get half of the assets in the divorce. Not to mention that he's at fault, so I'll get more."

Her mother-in-law tapped her on the shoulder: "You're so capable! You've been married for years, and you've been the wife at home, with him controlling the finances. Do you even know how much money he has?"

Zhou Cong hesitated: "But..."

The mother-in-law said earnestly, "Cong, as the old saying goes, every cat has its share of fish. Men, if not properly managed, are bound to make mistakes. Do you think your father has always been so honest?"

"Think of it this way: his current predicament gives you leverage over him. You can use this to keep a tight rein on him, and then find an opportunity to take control of the finances. Isn't that better than divorce?"

Zhou Cong stopped sobbing: "Mom, even though that's what you say, my heart feels like it's stuffed with a wad of fluff."

The mother-in-law advised, "Every woman's heart is filled with thorns throughout her life. What you have to endure, you should endure; what you have to grasp, you must grasp. You still have to live your own life!"

Zhou Cong nodded slowly, seemingly lost in thought.

……

Meanwhile, at the police station the next morning.

Looking at Sun Youguang's punishment report, Cao Jianjun said incredulously, "Chief Li, Sun Youguang was only detained for fifteen days and fined five thousand. Isn't that a bit lenient? Please don't give me any special treatment; I don't show favoritism."

Li Mu smiled and said, "I'm not giving you any special treatment; this is already the maximum penalty, since it's not a criminal case."

Cao Jianjun clicked his tongue in slight regret and remained silent. However, thinking about the chaotic scene at his mother-in-law's house, he was still in a good mood.

"Director Li, you're busy!"

Li Mu nodded!

The following days passed uneventfully yet busily, and the fifteen days flew by. On the day of Sun Youguang's release, Cao Jianjun arrived early at the detention center and waited in his car.

When the time came, the detention center gates opened, and Sun Youguang came out.

Cao Jianjun hurriedly got out of the car and greeted him warmly, "Brother-in-law, you're out?"

Sun Youguang looked relaxed: "Jianjun, look, they even made you pick them up personally."

Cao Jianjun said, "My brother-in-law is in trouble. If I don't help, who will? I'm sorry, I pleaded with him repeatedly, but there are legal provisions that this is already the lightest punishment within the framework of the law."

Sun Youguang said, "I know the conditions in the detention center are not bad, it's just that the food is terrible. It's okay, we'll make up for it with a couple of meals when we get out. Shall we go home?"

Cao Jianjun said, "There's something else, brother-in-law. You asked me to tell you that you went to Somalia, but my sister doesn't believe me at all and wants to cause a scene at your company. I felt that it would be even worse if this got out, so I had no choice but to tell her."

Sun Youguang thought for a moment and said, "Let them tell us. They'll find out sooner or later anyway."
