"You’re truly my brother." Di Mingzhe smiled, "You, oh you, alright, I was just saying it, not that cruel. How about this, when they come of age, we’ll handle it officially, punish them based on the charges of severely disrupting a military marriage, and send the child away to a welfare institution in a smaller city."

"Okay." Di Mingchen nodded.

"But aren’t you afraid that when this child grows up, they might seek revenge?" Di Mingzhe asked again, "Think about it, those old ones locked up, the elderly might not survive for many years, and what about her mother? When she grows up, she’s definitely going to look for her biological mother, I’m just afraid by then...

However." Di Mingzhe changed the topic, "These concerns are unnecessary, as long as you’re still in power, with their identity and status, it’s impossible for them to get close to you."

Di Mingzhe’s words made sense, this time An Xin’s family shamelessly acted like this because they were previously able to get in touch with Di Mingchen.

Through the connection with Su Wei, they even acted like friends with Di Mingchen.

But if they go through this incident, then this family will become ordinary citizens, completely losing the chance to approach Di Mingchen, so they won’t be able to stir up any more trouble.

After listening to Di Mingzhe’s words, Di Mingchen naturally understood and nodded, "Alright, let’s do as you suggest." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Alright." Di Mingzhe smiled faintly, "Okay, leave it to me to handle, but don’t stay out too late tonight, you need to get up early tomorrow."

"Alright." Speaking of tomorrow, Di Mingchen’s smile deepened.

After dinner, Nangong Ran sent Di Mingchen off and asked him, "Why did your brother call you? Have you really decided to retire?"

"I’m not retiring." Di Mingchen hugged her, took a deep breath, "Brother doesn’t want you to retire."

"Why retire if everything’s fine? I see you really like your profession, tell me, what’s the reason?" Nangong Ran tugged on Di Mingchen’s face.

Di Mingchen thought for a moment, succinctly explained to Nangong Ran, then cautiously asked, "Wife, do you think my approach hasn’t satisfied you?"

He remembered Nangong Ran had said to never let them off. Indeed, Nangong Ran had suffered unfairly, and he felt heartbroken, but for him to take a family’s lives over this, honestly, with a decade’s military service, his upright and just nature wouldn’t let him do it.

At that moment, Nangong Ran understood him well, a soldier, someone who’s always upright and kind, never bullying civilians; to have him take a family’s life over this, he’s not someone who walks the black path, so he couldn’t do it.

After some thought, Nangong Ran seriously said, "Actually, it’s not that bad, at least they’ll be locked up for a decade or so, by then, even if they come out, they’re still civilians, how big a storm can they raise? If by then they still don’t learn their lesson, we can punish them again, it’ll be a matter for the community."

Nangong Ran raised an eyebrow confidently, "We wouldn’t necessarily fear them."

Nangong Ran’s words made sense too, An Xin and their family have indeed committed crimes, but not to the extent of death, especially considering there’s a six-year-old child involved.

It’s better to give them one more chance. If even serving time doesn’t straighten them out, honestly, they can’t be feared by them either.

This is the last chance.

Di Mingchen felt quite relieved, relieved that Nangong Ran wasn’t an unreasonable woman seeking revenge to the point of destroying families over grievances.
