Su Hu used a piece of charcoal to write the words “The Xia family killed my beloved daughter” on a cloth banner. Both he and Huang Tai made their way to the entrance of the Xia family’s neighborhood in an aggressive manner and caused a scene there. Even the reporters from the television stations in the capital were alerted to his matter.

The entire Xia family was stuck at home and could not go out. Many people were waiting to watch the commotion.

“What should we do now? Are we going to let them waste our time?” Xu Lan looked at Xia Mao and asked him.

Xia Mao waved his hand indifferently and said, “Let them be. An upright person will not have a crooked shadow. There are so many people who want to frame our family. If I have to take everything seriously, I’ll be worried to death.’

Xia Wen sat at one side. He was the one who handled all these matters at home, so Xia Mao naturally did not have to worry about anything. Xia Wen had been so worried that he already had a few more strands of white hair.

He did not expect the Su family to be able to find out about his family’s involvement in the issue. However, given the upheaval that the Xia family members’ strike had caused in the military this time round, anyone who was even slightly observant would have sensed the abnormality. However, the Xia family did not regret it at all. It was worth doing this for Xia Zhe. They definitely would not let Xia Zhe’s life be endangered in any way because of the military’s internal problems.

“This matter is related to the secret mission. If they continue to kick up a fuss like this, it won’t do Xia Zhe any good. In the event they find out that Xia Zhe has been away from the capital for so long and then tie this information back to their daughter, Xia Zhe will be in danger,” Xia Wen said with a frown.

“We should report this matter to the military commission. They should be the ones going to appease the family members,” Xu Lan said.

“So... how long do you intend to kick up a fuss here?” Xia Wen asked calmly.

Su Hu immediately turned around. When he saw that it was Xia Wen, he quickly stood up, pointed at Xia Wen and shouted, “A life for a life! Your family killed my daughter! Someone must pay for my daughter’s life!”

“Lower your voice. We’re in the suburbs. No matter how loud you shout, no one will come. Moreover, the people in this neighborhood are all military personnel and they’re all my family’s colleagues. Do you think they’ll take the risk to come out and listen to you say such things?” Xia Wen said with a mocking smile.

“Hmph! You think you can crush us because you’re in a high position! I don’t believe that there’s no place for us commoners to speak up in this world!” Huang Tai said indignantly.

“But you’re not just a commoner. I’m sure you’ve more or less heard about what your daughter did. The truth is right in front of you. I’ve already helped you suppress the news from being broadcasted by the television stations. If this matter spreads and everyone finds out that your daughter committed treason, what’s going to happen to your son in the future?” Xia Wen asked.

Su Hu and Huang Tai had never thought about this matter from this angle.

They only wanted to force the Xia family to give in to them. They had thought

that if the public opinion turned against the Xia family, then the Xia family would have to step in regarding Su Rui’s sentence.

“You... don’t try to scare us here! We don’t believe what you say!” Huang Tai roared at him hesitantly..
