Xia Yuqing's heart suddenly jolted, and she glanced at Song Qiao in fear.
"I also feel that Aunt Zhou is a bit off. I didn't expect you to think the same way."
Song Qiao nodded gently and continued,
"Just now downstairs, I asked her a few questions about Grandma, and she couldn't answer any of them. Instead, she looked around and kept changing the subject."
"Yes, Grandma just fell. How could she have so many injuries of varying severity on her body?"
The more Xia Yuqing spoke, the more suspicious she felt, wishing she could rush downstairs immediately and confront Zhou Hongyu.
"Wife, you must not act impulsively. We don't have any evidence now, and I'm afraid she'll just confuse us with her nonsensical behavior."
Song Qiao grabbed Xia Yuqing's arm and said with a somber expression.
"Then what do we do now? Are we just going to watch Grandma being bullied by her?"
Xia Yuqing frowned. She had completely lost her reason and only wanted to expose this Zhou Hongyu quickly.
"Wife, don't worry. I have a way to reveal her true colors."
After saying that, Song Qiao directly took out his phone and dialed Ah Wei.
"Ah Wei, do we have anyone in charge of our company in H City? Immediately have them send me a DV recorder to..."
Ah Wei on the other end of the phone was slightly stunned. He could clearly sense his boss's anger from his voice.
He didn't dare to ask more and after thinking for a moment, he quickly replied,
"We have several resident employees in H City. I'll have them send it to you as quickly as possible."
"Boss, do you need any more help? I happen to know someone local."
"No need. Just send the DV recorder to me as quickly as possible."
Song Qiao hung up the phone directly.
...
Ah Wei was always efficient. In less than half an hour, he sent someone to deliver the latest DV recorder.
Under the watchful eyes of his wife and mother-in-law, Song Qiao turned on the DV recorder and secretly fixed it in a corner of the room.
Then he gave his wife a look.
Xia Yuqing immediately understood her husband's intention. She turned and walked downstairs and found Aunt Zhou busy in the kitchen.
"What? Finished chatting so soon?"
Zhou Hongyu pretended to be looking down at the vegetables, asking Xia Yuqing without looking up.
"Aunt Zhou, we have something urgent to attend to and need to go out for a while. We'll be back in the afternoon to visit Grandma."
Xia Yuqing took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her inner anger, and put on an act of being nonchalant.
"Oh, then you go ahead."
Aunt Zhou continued to speak indifferently.
She deliberately adopted this attitude to show her anger at being suspected.
Xia Yuqing said nothing more. She went upstairs, greeted Song Qiao, and the family of four temporarily left Grandma's house.
"Song Qiao, what if that Ms. Zhou doesn't fall for it?"
As soon as they went out, Xia Yuqing asked with some worry.
"She will. If she's hiding something, she'll reveal herself as soon as we leave."
Song Qiao shook his head, signaling his wife to relax.
The four of them waited outside for about half an hour. Song Qiao asked his mother-in-law and Xixi to wait in the car, while he and Xia Yuqing returned home.
When Song Qiao left earlier, he had taken the keys hanging in the living room without Zhou Hongyu noticing.
Therefore, this time he didn't knock. He went into Grandma's house as if he was familiar with the place.
As soon as he entered, he heard Zhou Hongyu's ear-splitting shouts from upstairs.
"Old woman, you dare to cry in front of your granddaughter? I think you've had enough of living."
Zhou Hongyu's voice was filled with resentment. Before she could finish speaking, she picked up a coat hanger and whipped Grandma.
A faint groan of pain from Grandma echoed in the room.
"Boom!"
Song Qiao could no longer suppress his rage. He didn't care about evidence anymore. He rushed into Grandma's room in three steps.
"Damn it, you're looking for death, you perverted woman."
As he spoke, he grabbed Zhou Hongyu by the collar and slapped her a few times from both sides.
Then he kicked her to the ground.
"You, how could you..."
Zhou Hongyu was dizzy from the beating and couldn't react for a moment.
"How? You want to ask me how I got back? You perverted woman, if I hadn't come back, how else would you have abused my Grandma?"
Song Qiao's eyes were bloodshot. He stared fiercely at her, picking up Grandma's walking stick from somewhere.
"Song Qiao, don't be impulsive. Let's call the police."
Xia Yuqing had also rushed in and headed straight for the corner, picking up the DV recorder that had been placed there earlier.
"You... you actually installed a surveillance camera in the room!"
Zhou Hongyu was now completely flustered. They had obtained evidence, and this was a serious matter.
"What? Now you know regret?"
Song Qiao looked at the trembling Aunt Zhou, put down the walking stick he had picked up, and said sarcastically.
"Please, don't call the police. Please, don't call the police."
Zhou Hongyu somehow found the strength to get up from the ground and frantically kowtowed to Song Qiao and Xia Yuqing.
Song Qiao ignored her and directly took out his phone to call the police.
"No, please don't. I really know I was wrong. Please, don't call the police."
Zhou Hongyu crawled on her knees to Song Qiao's side, hugged his thigh tightly, and kept kowtowing.
After a while, her forehead was already oozing bright red blood.
Xia Yuqing glanced at Aunt Zhou and said coldly, "We can not call the police, but you must get out of here immediately and never come back."
This person was a distant relative found by her eldest uncle. Without her eldest uncle's knowledge, it was better to give her some face.
Besides, Song Qiao had hit her just now, and he would be legally responsible if it was pursued.
"Get out now!"
Song Qiao roared. He clearly didn't want to let Aunt Zhou leave so easily.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll get out immediately. I'll get out immediately."
Zhou Hongyu saw that they had put down their phones and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, agreeing with a trembling voice.
Just as she was about to leave, she seemed to remember something. She knelt down again with a thud.
"I beg you to delete the video, otherwise I won't be able to live as a human being anymore."
Saying that, she desperately kowtowed again.
"Alright, I'll give you a chance."
Xia Yuqing was about to refuse when Song Qiao suddenly winked at her, signaling her not to speak.
Then he took the DV recorder from his wife's hand and deleted the video in front of Zhou Hongyu.
"Now you've seen it, why aren't you getting out of here?"
Song Qiao said, and was about to push Zhou Hongyu out.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Hongyu's expression changed after seeing the video deleted from the DV recorder. A smug smile appeared on her face, as if her plan had succeeded.
