After giving their statements, Munan was free to go but not Xinghe. Her suspicion was the biggest so the police wouldn't let her go, she still had to endure multiple interrogations. The ten lawyers were by her side at all times, they would take turns representing her. Munan returned to his family to figure out a solution. It was not easy for the Xi family to shake off the earlier suspicion, being slapped with another so soon was making everyone more than a bit jumpy.
After thinking that his grandfather would sacrifice Xinghe, he said directly, ”Grandfather, Saohuang is targeting us. Sister-in-law Xia is a complete innocent, we cannot leave her to fend for herself, we have to save her. Only after she's safe we'll be free from implication.”
Grandfather Xi looked at him and said authoritatively, ”You cheeky lad, what kind of person do you think I am? Do you think I would sacrifice her to save our own hides?”
Munan quickly placated, ”That's not what I meant, grandfather. You're the best and the most kind person, I know you will not leave sister-in-law hanging dry.”
”She's still not your big brother's wife, what kind of impression are you giving others by calling her sister-in-law left and right?”
Munan shrugged. ”She's the ex and soon-to-be, what's the difference?”
”Mubai really cares for her. I've contacted him and he'll be home soon,” Jiangsan said seriously.
Grandfather Xi harrumphed, ”What's the point of him coming back? He should have focused his energy on finding proof of that Feng's criminality.”
”The organization is too powerful and mysterious, whoever gets too close is silenced if they're not careful, therefore, progress has been slow.”
”I'm afraid we'll crumble before they do if the progress continues at this speed,” Grandfather Xi's face was drawn, ”The fact that Feng boy dares to openly challenge us like this means that he has fully prepared. I suspect he has some kind of deal with the Lin family that we don't know about.”
”Definitely! They must have ganged up on us,” Munan agreed.
