Old Deng is reborn in the 1980s, and he starts by severing his father-son relationship!

Xie Shuzhen's mind raced, and she suddenly realized a crucial point. She hurriedly said, "Officer, haven't we already agreed to compensation? We'll cover the medical expenses and nutrition costs! We've also agreed to return the two hundred yuan to Chen Deshun. Why are they still so insistent on making a mountain out of a molehill?"

The rest of the Huang family also realized what was happening.

Yes! When Director Qian met with them yesterday, they all agreed to give the Chen family some compensation as long as they could leave. How did things turn out like this?

Huang Xumin's face stiffened, then, as if he had figured something out, he widened his eyes and said, "I know! The Chen family is trying to extort money from us! They definitely think the compensation isn't enough!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Huang family agreed wholeheartedly, even Chen Limei nodded in agreement, realizing that her family had gone too far.

Paying some medical and nutritional expenses, and returning the two hundred yuan debt is enough. We've already made the biggest concession. Dad is too ungrateful!

Looking at their self-satisfied expressions, Zheng Yi's eyes flashed with disdain. "Congratulations, you guessed right," he thought, his gaze sharpening as he coldly said, "If they wanted to extort you, they would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?"

He paused, then continued, "Right now, they don't want anything, they refuse all mediation, and they're only focused on sending your entire family to jail. Do you still think they're trying to extort you?"

"Wh...what?!"

The Huang family's expressions were utterly absurd, even more exaggerated than the face-changing act in Sichuan opera.

Mr. Huang swayed, his legs buckled, and he clutched his chest, taking two steps back, almost falling. His cloudy old eyes were filled with terror and disbelief: "They...they really want to send our whole family to jail?!"

He couldn't understand it, and neither could anyone else.

The two brothers, Huang Xumin and Huang Xudong, seemed to have all their strength drained away, and collapsed to the ground, their faces ashen.

They never expected this outcome when they took action, and they deeply regret their decision!

It's over, it's all over now.

It wasn't until this moment that they finally woke up and realized that the seriousness of the matter far exceeded their imagination. It was no longer a matter of how much money they could pay to settle things; their whole family could actually go to jail for it. What were they going to do?!

Chen Limei's gaze darted between Huang Xumin and Zheng Yi, her mind replaying the phrase "send the Huang family in."

I don't think I'm included among the Huang family members here, do I?

But then she thought, if her husband went to jail, how would she, a woman raising a child alone, survive? Panic gripped her: "Officer, could you please let my father come over? I want to talk to him!"

The Huang family members were suddenly enlightened and all looked at Chen Limei.

Yes! Chen Deshun's biological daughter is still here! Blood is thicker than water, and even broken bones are still connected. As long as Chen Deshun is willing to come over, there is still room for maneuver.

Xie Shuzhen forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, gripping the railing with both hands, and pleaded, "Officer, we truly understand our mistakes. As the saying goes, 'To err is human.' We ordinary folks just don't know our own strength and can't keep our mouths shut. Please help us, could you let Chen Deshun come over for a moment? We can sit down and talk things over, okay?"

As she spoke, she pulled Chen Limei to her side, pointed at her, and said, "Look, Chen Deshun's biological daughter is right here too. Even tigers don't eat their cubs, how could a father and daughter hold a grudge overnight? Don't you think what I said makes sense?"

Zheng Yi rubbed his chin, looking troubled, and drawled, "This..."

Huang Xumin, whose mind worked the fastest, added obsequiously and urgently, "Officer, please just pass on the message that as long as you bring my father-in-law over, we guarantee there will be absolutely no conflict! When the time comes, you can call Director Qian, and everyone will be there to witness, how could there possibly be any arguments? We just don't want to take up government resources and want to resolve this matter as soon as possible."

Huang Xudong cast an admiring glance at his younger brother. It had to be his younger brother; he was so eloquent!

He'd had enough of that damn detention cell. Who the hell wanted to waste government resources living here?

The floor was freezing cold, it was so crowded you couldn't even stretch your legs out, and you could hear everyone farting or snoring clearly at night—it was simply not a place for a human to stay! Getting out of here as soon as possible was better than anything else.

Mr. Huang had come to terms with it. Even if he had to apologize, it didn't matter. As long as Chen Deshun agreed to a settlement, his family could even pay an extra twenty or thirty yuan, just like being bitten by a dog.

"Officer, our whole family's lives are in your hands. Aren't you public servants? Please help us. Just bring them here."

Although Zheng Yi had only been working at the police station for a short time, he had read quite a few books on criminal investigation and interrogation. Seeing that the Huang family's psychological defenses were on the verge of collapse, he stopped pressuring them, sighed, and said with a sigh of relief, "Since your attitude is quite sincere, I'll give it a try, but don't have too high hopes."

After saying that, he turned to leave, but just as he reached the door of the detention cell, he suddenly stopped, turned back and glanced at the Huang family members, and reminded them in a serious tone: "This is your only chance, so make the most of it and don't try anything funny."

This time, he didn't linger and walked straight out of the detention room.

The door slammed shut, and Zheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He looked down at the blank criminal case filing notice in his hand and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.

Why is it described as blank paper?

This document requires the police station's official stamp and the signature of the investigating officer, and all related records and materials must be signed by the complainant and the accuser to be valid.

Now the paper is completely empty, isn't it just a blank sheet of paper?

He made no promises throughout the entire process, and everything he said was the truth. If things continued to drag on, as the case progressed, the Huang family would definitely have to be transferred from here to the Dongcheng Detention Center. No, that doesn't seem to be accurate, because recalling it, he didn't seem to say anything after entering the detention cell; the Huang family had to fill in the blanks themselves.

Zheng Yi returned to the internal affairs office, returned the blank notification form, and prepared to report the matter to Detective Song. After all, if the Chen family and the Huang family were to meet for mediation, Detective Song and Director Qian of the street office would have to be present.

As I started walking towards the office, I saw a woman hurrying out of the office.

When the woman saw him, she was like a cat seeing a mouse, and immediately ran towards him.

Zheng Yi narrowed his eyes and recognized the woman: Huang Xudong's wife, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huang family.

"Officer, when will my husband and in-laws be released?" Huang's eldest daughter-in-law asked tearfully as soon as she arrived.

She had just gone to find Officer Song, but after searching around, she couldn't find him. Suspecting that he was deliberately avoiding her, she was getting anxious and upset when she happened to see Zheng Yi coming out of the internal affairs office.

Knowing that Zheng Yi was also in charge of their family's case, she was afraid that Zheng Yi was also avoiding her, so she quickly ran over to stop him.

Zheng Yi didn't intend to avoid her. He got straight to the point and briefly explained the current situation: "Your family members can't leave for the time being. If they want to leave, they must obtain the victim's forgiveness. You are now..."
