Chapter 525
“What do you mean by someone secretly entering their room? Could it not be that I just saw it wrong?”
“We found a footprint on their windowsill, so we will continue to investigate this matter in depth,” one of the National Security Office officers said, explaining a bit more because of Grandpa Zhang’s presence.
Peng Huijing was so furious that she was about to lose her mind.
Useless!
That good-for-nothing actually left such a crucial clue behind.
Now, she was really going to be ruined by that idiot.
But the officers from the National Security Office didn’t give Peng Huijing any more chances to argue. They simply gestured for her to leave.
Peng Huijing was too afraid to sit in the National Security Office, so she quickly turned to Grandpa Zhang and pleaded.
“Dad, please help me! I know I was wrong! I can stay home and cooperate with the investigation, I really didn’t do anything! If the National Security Office takes me away and locks me up, it won’t just be me, the Zhang family will never hold its head up again.”
Grandpa Zhang sarcastically responded, “Our Zhang family lost all our face and dignity more than twenty years ago, and now we don’t mind losing it again.”
Without giving Peng Huijing another chance to protest, Grandpa Zhang walked out of the interrogation room on his own.
After he left, Grandpa Zhang didn’t hurry to leave the station but stood in the police hall, anxiously waiting.
It was quite a while before Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun came out.
Grandpa Zhang quickly went over to them.
“Xiaoxiao, Yexun, I’m really sorry for what happened, this is truly our Zhang family’s fault,” he said apologetically.
Su Xiaoxiao understood the situation well and knew what Grandpa Zhang’s attitude was just now.
Although she wasn’t sure if he would really give them a fair treatment and not intervene to protect Peng Huijing, at least right now, she was certain she wouldn’t make things difficult for him.
“Grandpa Zhang, we know this isn’t your fault. But I really don’t understand why Aunt Peng would want to harm us. After this incident, we don’t want to have any further dealings with Aunt Peng,” Su Xiaoxiao said, her lips pressed together, showing some helplessness as she expressed her stance.
Grandpa Zhang looked at them with both pain and guilt, nodding his head.
“I know you’ve been wronged. This matter will not be easily settled, I will definitely have your Uncle Zhang divorce her.”
“But I don’t want Zhang family to fall apart because of us outsiders,” Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and advised.
Although she didn’t want Peng Huijing to rely on the Zhang family, she also didn’t want this matter to fall on her shoulders.
“This matter certainly isn’t your fault, it’s Peng Huijing who made more and more mistakes. Our Zhang family simply cannot tolerate her anymore,” Grandpa Zhang quickly changed his reasoning and then spoke very seriously, “Your Grandma Wang and I truly consider you both as our own grandchildren. What Peng Huijing did this time is too much, and we certainly won’t let it slide. But the relationship between us shouldn’t be severed just because of someone like her, that would be too pointless, right?”
Su Xiaoxiao remained silent, but she nodded slowly.
Of course, they couldn’t sever ties. She still needed to figure out how the Zhang family viewed her brother…
Or rather, what attitude they had toward the lost grandchild from over twenty years ago.
“But now that this has happened, Grandpa Zhang, we still want to calm down for a while. Until things are resolved, we don’t know how we should face you,” Su Xiaoxiao said with some difficulty.
Grandpa Zhang sighed in relief and promised, “Don’t worry, this matter is very serious. The National Security Office will solve it quickly. Our Zhang family won’t intervene to help Peng Huijing. Whatever punishment she deserves, she will get it.”
