My dad's marriage into my family made me rich, and my fierce yet adorable older sister spoils m

"Search! A hundred dollars is no small sum. She definitely hasn't had time to hide far enough yet, so search this house!"

"Let's see who dares to make a move!"

Just as the militiamen were about to go forward to search the house, a cold snort suddenly rang out in the courtyard.

Lin Chuan strode forward and stood firmly in front of everyone.

He looked at Guan Siya, who was terrified, with a pang of sympathy. He was used to seeing his fourth sister's unruly behavior, and seeing her like this was very unsettling.

Even seeing Guan Siya's little face so aggrieved and frightened, he felt extremely sorry for her.

After giving Guan Siya a reassuring look, Lin Chuan turned to look at Wang Baocheng and the others in front of him.

More than half a year has passed. With the constant interruptions and the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, he is no longer the weakling he once was.

At this moment, Lin Chuan stood tall and straight, his eyes carrying a sharpness beyond his years.

His narrow eyes were fixed on Wang Baocheng in front of him, and his imposing aura forced the militiamen to stop in their tracks.

They looked at Wang Baocheng with some embarrassment, and then at Secretary Zhao, who had been standing at the back.

"Deputy Captain Wang, your skill in smearing others is far superior to your skill in farming."

Lin Chuan gave a cold, sarcastic laugh, then looked at Zhao Tiezhu, who was sitting in the chair behind him, silent but with a furrowed brow.

"Secretary Zhao, you know how clear the accounts were during the time my fourth sister was the accountant, and besides, you personally promoted her, didn't you?"

Hearing this, Zhao Tiezhu couldn't help but sigh helplessly, and then nodded.

Seeing this, Lin Chuan continued, "Furthermore, even if we take a step back and assume that my fourth sister really did steal from the drawer herself, she's not stupid. She clearly had the key, so why would she break the drawer lock?"

At this point, Lin Chuan shrugged helplessly.

"Isn't this like taking off your pants to fart, completely unnecessary, clearly telling everyone your money was stolen?"

Upon hearing this, Secretary Zhao's expression froze.

Yes!

Yup!

The point of embezzlement is to do it without anyone noticing, isn't it?

Who would be stupid enough to break the lock and deliberately leave obvious alterations on the ledger?

Isn't this blatantly telling everyone that I stole the money and that they should all come and arrest me?

Meanwhile, Wang Baocheng, the real culprit, saw the hesitation on Secretary Zhao's face and immediately panicked.

However, he still didn't realize that his move this time was really too clumsy!

After all, he really was a simple-minded person who was all brawn and no brains!

Therefore, at this moment, his expression remained very tough.

"Hmph! How do you know you're right?! Who knows if this brat is deliberately breaking the lock to create the illusion of a theft?"

"Besides, Lin Chuan, what's the use of your sophistry? The money is less, the accounts have been altered—that's an undeniable fact! Find the money, and let's see how you keep your excuses!"

"Why can you search whenever you want?! Show me the evidence if you dare!" Guan Liuya said anxiously.

Guan Hongying then looked at Secretary Zhao, who had remained silent.

But judging from his silence, he obviously didn't have any evidence.

However, neither side has any evidence, but the situation cannot remain deadlocked indefinitely.

Guan Hongying looked at Lin Chuan, "Lin Chuan, what do you think about this?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Siya looked at Lin Chuan with tears in her eyes.

Lin Chuan's eyes were dark and unfathomable, but Wang Baocheng felt as if those eyes could see right through him.

However, deep down he still looked down on this family.

He snorted coldly, then hid behind a militiaman nearby.

Seeing this, Lin Chuan turned to look at Guan Siya, who was still sobbing.

His originally cold and stern gaze softened instantly, and even his voice carried a calming power.

"It's alright, Fourth Sister. If you didn't do it, then you didn't do it. You don't need to be afraid."

Lin Chuan's words were like a stabilizing force; after hearing them, Guan Siya's anxiety finally subsided considerably.

She wiped away her tears, nodded through her teary eyes, and said, "Yes!"

Lin Chuan smiled and ruffled her hair, then looked at Wang Baocheng and the others.

"Okay, let him search then. We'll watch and let them search."

To everyone's surprise, Lin Chuan did not continue to obstruct him, but instead coldly turned his body away.

"But if we can't find anything, Wang Baocheng, you'll probably have to crawl out of this gate today."

Wang Baocheng felt uneasy under Lin Chuan's gaze, which was as if he were looking at a dead man.

He rubbed his arms, then gritted his teeth.

Anyway, the money was clearly in his own pocket, and the Guan family couldn't find it when they searched his house.

However, as long as the case cannot be solved, it will remain unsolved. As the last person to leave, Guan Siya is destined to take the blame!

So even if this matter is not settled, even if Guan Siya is only a suspect.

She won't be able to stay in that accounting job for long either.

In that case, his final plan can be considered successful.

"search!"

Several militiamen rushed into the Guan family's house and immediately began ransacking the place.

Fortunately, everyone was watching, so they didn't dare to go too far.

Just half an hour later, all of them walked out looking disheveled.

The leader shook his head at Zhao Tiezhu.

"Secretary, we didn't find a single penny."

Wang Baocheng deliberately feigned a heartbroken expression, then shouted angrily.

"Good! It seems you transferred the money a long time ago! Secretary Zhao, this matter can't be left like this!"

Zhao Tiezhu puffed on his pipe, looked deeply at Guan Siya, whose eyes were brimming with tears, then at Lin Chuan, whose face was gloomy, and finally let out a long sigh.

"Until the matter is clarified, Fourth Sister, you're no longer allowed to work as the brigade accountant. Seal off the brigade's accounting office; no one is allowed to enter! I'm going to the commune to report this to the police first thing tomorrow morning!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Siya could no longer hold back her tears.

However, everyone knows that this is the only way for now; there is no better alternative.

The news of the hundred yuan disappearing spread like wildfire throughout Linhe Village overnight.

Even the next morning, a number of villagers gathered outside the Guan family's door, pointing and gossiping.

In this day and age, one hundred yuan is enough to kill a person.

Moreover, this money is a lifesaver for spring plowing.

"I never would have guessed that Fourth Sister, who usually looks like a child, would be so brave?"

"You can know a person's face but not their heart! She's just an uneducated young girl who suddenly became an accountant; who knows, she's probably already plotting to make a quick buck!"

"I knew it! What good stuff could a butcher's offspring possibly have?! Poor thing, our brigade's going to be without fertilizer this year..."
