“Speak.” Huo Beijiang didn’t offer comfort like others usually would. When he got serious, he had an aloofness that was alienating. His stern features were sharp yet restrained, causing an involuntary fear in people, making them follow his command.
“My sister asked me to take care of my little brother before she passed, but I failed! After Huo Jinlan and the others were taken to the police station, I saw that the clothes at home hadn’t been washed and I decided to wash them.”
She already planned to wash the clothes. If it hadn’t been for Huo Jinlan and the others causing a stir at their doorstep, she would have finished washing the clothes by now. But she couldn’t explain these things or say them out loud.
Indeed, she was undeniably responsible for her little brother falling into the river.
Zhuanzhuan’s face turned even paler, her body slightly trembling as she guiltily admitted: “It’s all my fault! If not for me, my little brother wouldn’t have gone to the river. He wouldn’t have fallen in while playing with the water.”
Huo Beijiang gazed at her before slowly saying, “I heard that when your sister jumped into the river, she tried to save you first.”
“Yes!” Zhuanzhuan gave a grueling smile.
“My sister shouldn’t have saved me…” she murmured softly, still struck by shock. She had never thought that her sister would choose to save her first.
Instead of looking for their little brother immediately.
“There are no should-haves and shouldn’t-haves, every life is worth respect.”
Zhuanzhuan furrowed her eyebrows hesitantly asking, “Brother-in-law, would you ask your friends to take me to the police station?”
“Why?”
“Because I…Because I let Little Daodan…”
Huo Beijiang cut her off before she could finish, “No, be assured!” After saying that, he turned around and walked out. Upon reaching the door, he paused, turned around and gave Zhuanzhuan a faint smile.

“I agree with your actions. If you encounter such a situation next time, you can be even tougher.”
Watching Huo Beijiang’s retreating figure, Zhuanzhuan unconsciously smiled. Her brother-in-law was indeed very kind. He loved her sister, and so, he cared for them too by association.
Huo Beijiang left the treatment room without glancing at his father, and he directly headed towards Ying Jiuming. The two of them silently left the hallway, standing at the hospital’s entrance and started to smoke.
“Is the investigation of the incident clear yet?” Huo Beijiang asked, skillfully holding a cigarette, his serious eyes looking vastly different compared to usual.
Ying Jiuming looked at him surprised before saying, “The incident of falling into the river?”
“You know I’m not asking about that.” Huo Beijiang sneered, “Where are Huo Jinlan and Jing Tong? Still at your police station, aren’t they?”
The reason he came with Ying Jiuming was because the incident involving Jing Tong and Huo Jinlan in Xiao Wang Village had escalated. A minor injury to a boy had sparked a violent conflict that resulted in bloodshed.
Jing Tong and Huo Jinlan were both badly scratched on their faces with various bruises on their bodies, even He Rongxi wasn’t spared. In the end, He Rongxi reported the incident and, flaunting his status, wanted to press charges, escalating the incident to the county police station.
The police arrested a fair number of people and put them into detention. Thus, Ying Jiuming was here to investigate. Fortunately, Huo Beijiang ran into him on the way. He was deeply relieved.
Fortunately, Ying Jiuming was here as he wouldn’t have been able to manage both Nan Fei and Jiang Yang alone.
“They’re still there! They refuse to leave even if allowed to, insisting on an explanation from everyone involved. What explanation can we give? This group incident initially began when they were suspected of provoking the conflict and injuring the child.”
