Chapter 451

"As long as she's willing to help us, there's still hope for this."

"We'll talk details after we get back from your brother's place. I'm not sure if he'll have time to see us right now. I wonder if he already knows..."

He Quan frowned as he spoke. That's what worries me the most.

If Zhifei finds out first, we're done for.

Zhifei already resents him for pushing him to the brink over Youde. How long has it been since that happened?

On one hand, there's the son he values, who's likely to do great things.

On the other hand, there's the younger brother who's always causing trouble and even tried to hurt his son.

It's a no-brainer.

Anyone would pick the son!

Besides, Zhifei's already given in many times for Youde.

Now even Xiao Tian's been sent back, which shows he's had enough.

He Quan only said half of what he meant, making He Youde really uneasy.

"Dad, I really don't wanna go to jail. If I do, I'll definitely drag Xiao Tian into it. I haven't done much with my life, but my son's not like me.

All these years, I've done so much wrong, all for my son.

If he gets dragged into this, I might as well die."

He Youde started crying for real when he mentioned his son.

Why is this so unlucky? Just when things were going well, this damn Old Wang's family had to show up. Xiao Tian was about to have it good...

"Don't I know it? Don't bug me now, I'm trying to figure this out."

The two of them, anxious, arrived at He Zhifei's workplace.

But as soon as they got there, they heard He Zhifei wasn't there and had gone home to deal with family stuff.

This news hit He Quan and his son like a ton of bricks.

"Dad! What do we do? Does big brother already know?" He Youde was scared to tears again.

"Don't panic yet, let's go to their house first, maybe it's for something else?" He Quan now only hoped it was for another matter.

After leaving He Zhifei's workplace, they headed straight to the He family's home.

When they arrived at the He family's house and pushed the door open, they found He Zhifei scolding He Ming with a dark face.

He Cheng and his wife were also there.

"What's going on? Not at work during the day, scolding the kids at home?" He Quan came in, bringing He Youde with him.

He Zhifei, already angry at his two unlucky sons, saw his father bringing He Youde in, and his anger grew even more.

He frowned: "Dad, didn't I say it? He's not allowed to come to this house anymore."

"There's something unusual going on today, Zhifei. Are you free now? We need to talk to you privately about something..." He Quan looked awkwardly at the others.

"Grandpa, did my third uncle mess up again?" He Ming, despite being scolded, couldn't resist mocking.

"You're everywhere! If I catch you skipping work again, I'll make sure you can't sleep for three days!" He Zhifei glared at his younger son.

Then he turned to He Cheng and his wife: "You two, if you make me go to the police station again for such nonsense, get out of this house!"

Who knows, he was fine in the morning, then suddenly told that his son had been arrested for fighting, and the family was demanding compensation.

At the police station, he had to pay up and apologize!

Luckily, they decided not to press charges against He Cheng.

It was completely humiliating! The worst part was, He Cheng had fought for his brother-in-law.

He had planned to scold He Cheng once they got home, only to find his younger son skipping work at home, which really added fuel to the fire.

"Dad, we swear we won't do it again." He Cheng was still rattled, and... after he hit someone, everyone else ran away, including his wife's family.

In the end, Dad had to bail him out.

He Cheng glanced at his wife. If he didn't still like Niandi, he really wanted to cause trouble for her family.

"Just seeing you is irritating. Alright, you go back to your room too. He Ming, you go inside as well." He Zhifei shooed his sons into their rooms, waiting until the living room was empty, then looked at the heavy burden weighing on his heart in this family.

His own father and brother!

"What's going on this time? Dad, I don't want any excuses—just tell me straight." He Zhifei impatiently urged them to speak.

Seeing how furious his eldest son was, He Quan knew things had gone south.

Those two troublemakers, why did they have to make their dad angry at this time?

He Youde was too scared to speak, trembling as he hid behind He Quan.

Seeing his son's spinelessness, He Quan could only sigh: "Youde, you've got to help your brother—he's been framed."

"What do you mean, framed?" He Zhifei was puzzled; this was out of nowhere...

Just as he was about to say something, there was a knock at the door.

"Dad, wait a moment, let me see who's here." He Zhifei opened the door to find officers from the police station and was immediately stunned.

"What's this about, officers?"

"Is there a He Youde here? He's connected to a case. We went to his house, but no one was there. They said he might be here." The officers quickly explained why they were there.

Looking at the people at the door waiting to take someone to the police station, and then at He Youde in the room, He Zhifei's face darkened.

No wonder they're here—he's mixed up in a crime!

"Zhifei, you can't let them take your brother away, they..."

"Big brother, I swear, I'm innocent—I didn't do anything!" He Youde wailed, trying to stay.

"You're linked to a case where someone was hired to commit assault. Among those we caught, a Wang Qingqi—you should know him? He named you as the one who hired him. Please cooperate with us."

He Zhifei looked at his brother in disbelief: "Who did you hire? Who did you attack?"

"Big brother... I, I didn't do it."

"If you don't tell the truth, I'll act as if I don't know anything about this," He Zhifei said coldly.

He Zhifei didn't dare to admit it.

"I don't know, I was really framed," He Youde stubbornly insisted.

He Zhifei already had a premonition; their coming here clearly showed that this matter was related to him.

He Youde wanted to make a move, probably against his own eldest son.

That's why Old Wang’s family was brought to the provincial capital, leading to today's scene!

Thinking of this, He Zhifei coldly escorted him outside: "This is He Youde."

After saying that, He Zhifei closed the door, ignoring He Youde's protests outside that he was innocent.

He Quan, pitying his youngest son, grew angry at his eldest son's indifference: "Zhifei, what are you doing? That's your own brother!

You just tossed him out like that, he..."

He Zhifei's sharp gaze swept over He Quan's face, startling him.

Noticing his father's reaction, He Zhifei sneered: "Dad, before they came looking for He Youde, you two came to me with demands, which shows you already knew something was going to happen."
