Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 210 - 208: Judging a Case at Age Two? My Baby is a Toddler Lie Detector!
Gu Yanshen didn’t even need to think.
Lin Wan Yi’s words were a command.
"Grab him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guard Jiang Zhou behind him shot out like an arrow.
The accountant, who was sticking close to the wall, had just reached the handle of the back door when he felt a tightness at the back of his neck and was lifted up by a great force.
"Ah!"
The accountant screamed in fright, almost dropping the briefcase in his hand.
He clutched the bag tightly to his chest, as if it was his lifeline.
Jiang Zhou, with an iron grip, firmly restrained him and dragged him back in front of everyone.
"Gu... Captain Gu, what are you doing?"
The accountant’s face was pale, sweat pouring down his temples.
"I... I just have a stomach ache and wanted to go to the bathroom."
Director Wang, slumped on the ground, clung to it like a lifeline, struggling to get up.
"Gu Yanshen! What right do you have to arrest people!"
He pointed at Gu Yanshen’s nose, shouting harshly but weakly.
"Just based on the nonsense of a little kid? What does she know! You’re abusing your power! It’s coercion through torture!"
Director Wang’s voice grew louder, attempting to incite the surrounding workers.
"Everyone, judge for yourselves! Can the military just arrest our workers at will? Is there no law and order anymore?"
Some workers who didn’t know the truth began whispering, causing some unrest in the scene.
Gu Yanshen frowned, as his military identity was indeed something that could be easily manipulated in local affairs.
Lin Wan Yi, however, remained calm.
She walked to Gu Yanshen, gently patting his arm.
"Put Ningning down."
Gu Yanshen understood, carefully placing his daughter on the ground.
Once Gu Ning stood firm, her little legs wobbled a bit.
She didn’t look at anyone else and walked straight towards the accountant being held.
One step, two steps.
The small figure appeared exceptionally abrupt in the tense atmosphere.
The accountant was stiff all over, his heart racing as he watched the porcelain-like little girl walk towards him.
Gu Ning stopped in front of him, looking up.
Her eyes, like black grapes, were pure and unblemished.
Suddenly, she opened her small mouth, revealing a sweet smile with two emerging small teeth just visible.
"Uncle... Uncle, hug~"
The innocent voice, like a warm current, instantly melted the coldness in the air. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Several nearby female workers had their hearts melted.
"Oh my, this baby is too cute."
"Yeah, she looks like a New Year’s doll."
The accountant was also a father, with a three-year-old son at home.
Confronted with such an innocent child, his tense nerves subconsciously relaxed a little.
He forced a smile that looked worse than crying, instinctively bending down to touch the child’s head.
"Good... Uncle..."
He hadn’t finished speaking.
As he bent down, an abrupt change occurred!
Gu Ning’s smile vanished instantly, replaced by an expression of extreme horror.
She shrank back abruptly, as if she had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
Her small hand pointed at the briefcase the accountant was clutching, and she burst into loud cries.
"Wah!"
The cries were piercing, filled with fear.
"Bad! Dark! Scared!"
She cried as she scrambled backward, trying to get away from the briefcase.
This sudden scene left everyone stunned.
The accountant was bent over, his hand suspended in mid-air, completely dumbfounded.
The first to react were the female workers.
"Oh my God! What’s in that bag?"
"Yeah! Scaring the child like this! It’s a sin!"
"It must be something bad! Or why would the child be so scared?"
"A grown man carrying something to scare people, isn’t it shameful?"
The public opinion erupted instantly!
The condemning gazes were like daggers piercing the accountant and Director Wang.
Director Wang’s face turned green, his mouth agape, unable to utter a word.
Gu Yanshen’s face darkened.
He stepped forward, shielding his daughter, his tall figure completely overshadowing the accountant.
His voice was as cold as ice shards.
"The briefcase is suspected of containing dangerous items that threaten the safety of children."
"For the safety of everyone present, it must be inspected immediately!"
This reason was irrefutable!
Director Wang’s cries for "procedural justice" appeared so weak in the face of "child safety."
"I..." The accountant tried to resist.
Jiang Zhou no longer held back, applied force, and the accountant released his grip in pain.
Jiang Zhou snatched the briefcase away.
"Hua la"
In front of everyone, Jiang Zhou opened the zipper and emptied its contents onto the ground.
No snakes, no scorpions, nothing terrifying.
Just two thick account books and a stack of crisp, brand-new cash.
At least a thousand yuan.
The crowd gasped.
In that era, it was a fortune!
Jiang Zhou squatted down and pulled a crumpled piece of paper from the briefcase’s compartment.
Director Wang’s face changed completely.
But he made one last stand.
"This... This is the factory’s emergency fund! The accounts are normal! What’s the problem?"
His neck was red from shouting.
Jiang Zhou ignored him, carefully unfolding the crumpled paper.
He only glanced at it before reading it aloud.
"Scrap steel receipt... Payee, Hongxing Waste Recycling Station..."
"Date... is yesterday?"
Lin Wan Yi stepped forward, her voice cold but clear to everyone’s ears.
"I see."
Her gaze fell on Director Wang’s deathly pale face.
"Director Wang, you secretly sold the high-priced special steel imported by the state, replacing it with this scrap steel."
"Machines made from scrap steel surely couldn’t withstand high-intensity operations."
"That’s why there was an explosion."
Her words were logical and piercing!
They perfectly linked all the clues together.
Director Wang swayed, nearly unable to stand.
But he fought back stubbornly, like a mad dog cornered with no escape.
"You’re lying!"
He roared, "You’re slandering me! This is just a scrap receipt! Scrap! What evidence do you have that the exploded machine used scrap steel? Evidence!"
Without direct evidence, conviction wasn’t possible.
The scene fell into a stalemate again.
Just then.
A small voice sounded.
The long-ignored, quietly lurking in the corner, Gu An, moved.
He walked over to a nearby toolbox.
The toolbox had arrived with Professor Wang.
Gu An stood on tiptoes, skillfully fishing out something shiny.
He returned to Lin Wan Yi and held up what he had, offering it to his mother.
It was a brand-new file.
Gu An held the file tightly in his hand.
The little guy had a serious expression, ignoring the staring people around him.
He tugged at Gu Yanshen’s pants.
