Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 979 - 793: No Second Chances

"Is it reliable to find Old Wei?" In the face of benefits, who can say for sure? "We should definitely inform our dad about this."

"If you believe he’ll handle it calmly upon learning his things were stolen, then go ahead and tell him."

"What do we do if we don’t tell him?" Of course, Mei Shuping knew what kind of reaction the old man would have, but without mentioning it, how could they possibly recover those items? They didn’t even know what was stolen.

"The eldest and second brother are both here, great, I’ve brought the police with me. You two can talk to them," said Chen Haichang, knowing that the Mei Family’s two sons wouldn’t dare to call the police, so he had no choice but to do it for them.

"What? Third Brother, why did you call the police?" Mei Shuping’s face turned cold when he heard the police were here; he stood up angrily and pointed at Chen Haichang.

"Wasn’t the house burglarized? If I don’t report it, are we just going to take the loss lying down?" Chen Haichang said, ignoring the police who followed him, and sat on the sofa by himself.

"How did you know the house was burglarized?" Mei Shuqing asked with a frown.

"I called the house this morning, and Aunt Wu answered. Once I learned about the burglary, I even went to the hospital to consult the old man. Eldest Brother, Second Brother, reporting it wasn’t my idea; it was the old man who told me to. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the old man yourself now. Oh... by the way, it’s no use going now. The old man was so angry he couldn’t speak, he’s still in the intensive care unit. I don’t think you should waste the trip; better talk to the police quickly."

"You told our dad?" Mei Shuping lifted his hand in anger, almost hitting him. Upon hearing this, it was clear the old man would be furious.

The items he hid were precious to him; he didn’t even allow the two brothers to look at them. You can imagine how he felt. Losing treasures he had hidden for most of his life so suddenly. It’s good enough that he didn’t get scared to death.

"I did it for the old man’s own good. With his things stolen, you planned to keep it a secret and not report it. Over time, how else would you recover the items? Just now, when I passed by the gate, the guard who was on duty last night mentioned hearing someone suspicious."

"Who?" Mei Shuping immediately asked, no longer concerned with Chen Haichang telling their father.

Since everything was known, discussing anything else was pointless.

"It’s not clear yet, just a suspicion. For the investigation, we need to rely on the police. I’ve already talked to the officers, right, officers? These are my two elder brothers, and they were the first to discover it. You can ask them anything you need to know."

Mei Shuping glanced at the two police officers who came, realizing they weren’t people familiar with Old Wei.

Mei Shuping gave Xie Lingzhi a look, clearly indicating she should find a way to send the two officers away.

But Mei Shuqing first invited the two officers to sit. Though he knew the old man’s things were not legitimate, he also couldn’t just leave it unchecked. It had to be reported to the police. Despite wanting to find Old Wei, with Chen Haichang bringing the police, it’s not suitable to find Old Wei now. They could only wait to see how things developed. If the items were retrieved, and if they indeed were illicit, they must be surrendered and consequences faced.

He knew the old man probably hid those items to leave some good things for them younger ones, but as a soldier, he firmly would not accept those things. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

If something really happened, he was willing to share the burden with the old man, but it couldn’t be secretly resolved this way.

Mei Shuping, seeing his brother talking with the police, slapped the table coldly, "Shuqing, do you want to ruin the Mei Family?"

"Big Brother, you should put yourself in the right position. The old man might be muddled; do you want to follow him in his confusion? This situation should be resolved as it should be. Don’t have any illusions; it’ll only harm us."

After Mei Shuqing spoke, Chen Haichang applauded, then looked at Mei Shuping and laughed, "Big Brother, I think you should let the second brother take over your position; it seems more appropriate for him to be the older brother. You’re not doing well in your role, unqualified, unqualified indeed." Chen Haichang spoke, shaking his head to himself.

This infuriated Mei Shuping to nearly overturn the table; none of them listened to reason. If something happened in the future, the Mei Family would be finished.

Watching the two introduce themselves to the police, Mei Shuping and his wife stood aside, their faces growing darker with each word.
