Inside the Lin family courtyard.
Lin Xiangnan looked calmly at the soldiers bursting through the gate, reaching out to shield his wife, Fu Yunxin, behind him.
"I've told you. While I may have been a tutor in the home of the former Xidong Public Security Commander, I have always been an honest and law-abiding citizen. I have done nothing to be ashamed of. If you must investigate, then investigate, but what right do you have to barge into my home like this!?"
The soldiers, dressed in drab brown uniforms and cradling rifles, paced around the courtyard a few times before their gazes settled on the inner rooms.
The leader's brow furrowed slightly.
"Mr. Lin, we received a report that you secretly assisted in the embezzlement of drought relief funds..."
"You are free to investigate as you please!" Lin Xiangnan stepped aside, his expression resolute. "If you find a single piece of relevant evidence inside, I will submit to any punishment!"
