Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 533: Let’s Settle the Hardship Pay

"Gambling is already a serious crime, and you went to an underground casino, borrowed usurious loans, and involved such a large sum of money. Any one of these would be a death sentence," Chief Deputy Cheng said helplessly.

If Grandpa Zhang was determined to protect Zhang Hanyu, it wasn’t entirely impossible.

However, at best, it would result in him taking a bullet and receiving a 20-year sentence, with the Zhang family also getting dragged down in the process.

If anyone were to target the Zhang family in the future, this incident would be enough to destroy them.

But Zhang Hanyu was the only grandson of the Zhang family, and Grandpa Zhang would likely find it hard not to compromise.

As he thought about this, Chief Deputy Cheng couldn’t help but feel a sense of melancholy.

No matter how good a family is, if one of its members turns out to be useless, the entire family will crumble.

When he got home, he was definitely going to remind his own family to never stop learning and to never get involved in any illegal or immoral activities.

After these thoughts, Chief Deputy Cheng ignored Zhang Hanyu’s heart-wrenching screams and caught up with Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Wang, who were leaving.

Grandpa Zhang stopped in the lobby of the police station and looked at Chief Deputy Cheng with an apologetic expression.

This made Chief Deputy Cheng’s heart skip a beat.

He had originally thought that Grandpa Zhang would bring up the matter, trying to minimize the consequences. He was already mentally preparing himself for how to respond in order to dispel Grandpa Zhang’s concerns.

But then Grandpa Zhang said, with deep sincerity, "Chief Deputy Cheng, I’m sorry, but I’ll leave Zhang Hanyu’s matter to you. Whatever punishment you think is appropriate, I have no objections. He made a mistake, and he should bear the legal consequences."

"Chairman Zhang, but isn’t that child your only grandson? Shouldn’t you ask your son for his opinion on this matter?"

Chief Deputy Cheng was startled, not expecting that Grandpa Zhang would really be willing to give up on Zhang Hanyu.

"No need! If he made a mistake, he should face the appropriate punishment. If Zhiyuan wants to help him, then I’ll kick him out of the house as well," Grandpa Zhang said firmly.

Although he knew his son’s character and was certain he wouldn’t act out of personal favoritism, the thought of his son being involved in such matters still made Grandpa Zhang furious.

Seeing that Grandpa Zhang was still upset, Chief Deputy Cheng wisely refrained from saying more.

"Chairman Zhang, are you planning to go back now?" Chief Deputy Cheng asked nervously.

Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Wang nodded. "What happened today has been a huge shock. We need to go back and calm down for a bit."

"Alright, once the decision on the punishment is made, I’ll notify you at the manor," Chief Deputy Cheng said, letting out a quiet sigh of relief.

He had known that Grandpa Zhang was an upright person.

"Okay." Grandpa Zhang nodded and, with Grandma Wang’s support, got into the car.

The driver, sensing Grandpa Zhang’s low mood, didn’t dare say anything more.

Once in the car, Grandma Wang immediately started crying, covering her face.

"You say, how could that troublesome child Hanyu be so bold, to even get involved in something like this? And Peng Huijing, that mother of his, when she encounters something like this, why doesn’t she try to straighten her son out? Instead, she keeps secretly covering for Zhang Hanyu, digging him into an even bigger hole. Gambling is a bottomless pit, who knows when it’ll end. Hanyu is her own son, and she’s ruining him like this!"

"Maybe she’s just not very smart," Grandpa Zhang sighed deeply. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Even if Peng Huijing was truly a spy and had no feelings for her own son, she still shouldn’t be so foolish as to enable Zhang Hanyu’s gambling habits.

Everyone knew gambling was a bottomless pit, and before a person could achieve anything, they would have become a useless wreck.

It would be impossible for him to ever rise to any position of power again.

"This is also our fault. When Yexun first mentioned that Hanyu was acting strange, we should have intervened immediately," Grandma Wang said, wiping her tears in regret.

Although their grandson had made a mistake, if they had investigated him early, they could have corrected him privately.

But now that it had escalated to the police station, they could no longer use their power or influence to fix things.

"Ultimately, we owe an apology to Xiaoxiao and Yexun. They suffered so much without telling us a word," Grandpa Zhang said with deep guilt.

But at the guesthouse, Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun were still lounging around, unaware of what had just transpired.

Lying with her head resting on her husband’s lap, Su Xiaoxiao’s soft little hand was resting on his strong abdomen, rubbing gently as she asked curiously, "Do you think Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Wang will save Zhang Hanyu?"

"No," Jiang Yexun replied, trying his best to ignore her mischievous little hand.

But his hoarse, low voice gave him away.

Su Xiaoxiao paused, slightly startled by his voice.

Afraid that her teasing might spark something else, she quickly tried to retract her hand, but Jiang Yexun stopped her, holding her hand down.

"It’s fine, I can still hold back."

"Well, what if you can’t hold back?" Su Xiaoxiao pouted, "We’re having a serious conversation right now, don’t mess around."

"Mm, I’ll definitely talk seriously with you," Jiang Yexun chuckled softly.

But once they were done talking, he was definitely going to demand some "hardship pay" for himself.

After all, he had been the one to dig the hole and was only now getting Zhang Hanyu, that fool, into trouble.
