Chapter 104: The Plum Blossoms Bloom for the Third Time

~7 min read 1,229 words

Lin Niansheng is quite imposing.

Upon an order, the remaining Maozi all sprang into action.

By contrast, Li Jiaci was remarkably composed.

When handcuffed, his face showed not the slightest ripple.

Because he was accustomed to it.

At night, the factory suddenly bustled with activity.

The night-shift workers gathered, chatting excitedly.

The daytime events hadn't even been settled, and now so many Maozi appeared at night.

And they even arrested their boss!

This is as thrilling as watching a TV drama!

Zhao Chen and the others received the news, hurried over, grabbed their tools, and prepared to go up and fight.

But Li Jiaci shook his head at them.

"Don't move, just stay here honestly!"

"But big brother, you..."

"Take a good look at what they're wearing—damn, are they courting death?"

Assaulting the police is a serious crime.

Even if Uncle Kang steps in, it might not save them.

Under Li Jiaci's gaze, Zhao Chen and the others reluctantly set down their tools.

Lin Niansheng sneered: "Heh, you guys are wise!"

He raised his flashlight and shone it on each person's face in turn.

Under the blinding light, everyone raised their arms to shield their eyes.

Suddenly, Li Yihu felt a chill on his wrist.

Click.

A pair of handcuffs appeared on his wrist.

The Maozi standing before him had a solemn expression and said: "The informant says you also took part in the violence—come with us!"

Upon hearing that.

Li Yihu was so angry he laughed.

"Disdain!"

"Who did I commit violence against?"

"Damn it, call that person over here!"

"I stand upright and fear no crooked shadow!"

The Maozi couldn't care less about that.

They directly dragged Li Yihu toward the door.

Zhao Chen and the others were anxious.

But the other side were Maozi, so their anxiety was useless.

"Lin Niansheng, if you want to arrest someone, arrest me—damn it, don't touch my brother!"

Li Jiaci broke free of his restraints and shouted loudly.

The next second, several Maozi pressed him down to the ground.

Seeing Li Jiaci's sorry state.

Lin Niansheng gave a dark chuckle twice.

"Heh."

"We act according to law, following normal procedure!"

"Once we accept a public report, we must act immediately!"

Before Li Jiaci could reply.

Lin Niansheng suddenly glanced around again, his flashlight beam sweeping wildly.

"Where's Wang Yingna?"

"Go search those few dormitories!"

"Yes! Team Leader Lin!"

A Maozi nodded and immediately launched the search.

Upon hearing that, Li Jiaci actually calmed down.

He chuckled low: "No need to bother, it's in the first one!"

Lin Niansheng, hearing that, turned suspiciously, looking at Li Jiaci's relaxed demeanor, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Where does this guy get his confidence?

No matter what, he can't stir up any waves.

This time, the evidence is solid!

Soon, Wang Yingna was taken out of the dormitory by the Maozi.

She clearly looked like she had just been woken up; the Maozi tried to cuff her, but she snatched the handcuffs away and threw them three meters away.

"Hey? Pretty girl, you've got guts!"

The Maozi saw she was a woman and didn't bother with her.

He walked over, picked up the handcuffs, and blew off the dust.

Wang Yingna crossed her arms, her face displeased: "I'm not wearing that broken thing!"

Team Leader Lin, this... what's going on?

Maozi was in a quandary.

Lin Niansheng snorted: "If she doesn't wear it, she doesn't wear it; anyway she can't escape!"

"You damned thing, it's you again?"

"You haven't been taught a lesson from last time, right?"

"Fine, you wait for me, miss!"

"Let's settle our new and old grudges together!"

Wang Yingna pointed at Lin Niansheng's nose.

He swaggered into the police car.

Seeing her demeanor, Lin Niansheng thought she was just a female version of Li Jiaci.

They're both equally deserving of a beating.

Li Jiaci was dragged up by several Maozi.

He asked: "If I leave like this, the factory won't be able to run; can you let me send a message to my partner to arrange the follow-up?"

"Why do you have so many things? Hurry up, just this once!"

"Then help me take my phone out of my pocket!"

"Damn it..."

Maozi took out the phone and handed it over.

Li Jiaci turned around and quickly sent a message to Wang Zhen.

"Done?"

"Finished, you can leave anytime!"

"Dismiss!"

……

The precinct.

The interrogation room.

For the third time.

Liu Yanxi and Li Jiaci stared at each other in silence.

Both sides felt utterly speechless about the situation.

Time passed minute by minute.

Liu Yanxi remained silent for a long time, then softly sighed.

She had never seen someone who loved running to the precinct so much.

"What's going on this time?"

Upon hearing that, Li Jiaci laughed and shook his head: "Same as the first two times, believe it or not!"

The implication was that he was being framed.

After the lessons of the first two times, Liu Yanxi was very cautious.

She was willing to listen to Li Jiaci's explanation.

"Whether I believe it or not is my business; you just say your piece!"

Although his hands were cuffed, Li Jiaci still insisted on lighting a cigarette.

Otherwise he'd feel a bit dry.

As the smoke cleared, he slowly recounted the events.

The more Liu Yanxi listened, the more she found it suspicious.

No matter how you look at it, this seems like someone did it intentionally.

But as a Maozi, she couldn't rashly define it.

Everything has two sides.

She placed the photo of the victim's injuries on the table.

"Li Jiaci, take a good look— is this something you did?"

Li Jiaci flicked off the ash, stretched his neck, and took a glance.

The photo showed a woman's face, very familiar, making him instantly feel nauseous and hateful.

Li Qinglan.

Sure enough, it was her.

Except, the injuries on Li Qinglan's face were a bit strange.

Besides those slap marks, there were also several cuts from a sharp weapon.

The wounds weren't deep, but they were distributed around the eyes, giving a particularly menacing feeling.

Kind of interesting.

Li Jiaci sneered: "She really is willing to spend a lot!"

"Be serious, I'm asking you a question— answer honestly!"

Liu Yanxi tapped the table.

Only saw Li Jiaci calmly lean back in his chair and say: "This wasn't done by me, but I know how those slap marks came about— it was the neighboring Wang Yingna who did it!"

"Aren't you together?"

Even those together can't be covered up; if you mess up, you have to stand at attention and take a beating. After all, I'm a law-abiding citizen—I still have that sense!

"……"

Liu Yanxi was speechless again.

Actually, she had also somewhat guessed it; this case wasn't as complicated as before, with a feeling of rushing to pour dirty water on someone.

Thinking of this, Liu Yanxi put away the photo, her gaze complex as she looked at Li Jiaci before her.

She decided to trust her own judgment.

"Wait here for a moment."

Having said that, Liu Yanxi stood up and walked out.

Li Jiaci watched the cigarette about to burn out, pinched it between two fingers, and rubbed it hard.

Just then.

Suddenly, a heated argument broke out outside the interrogation room.

Among them, Liu Yanxi's voice was the loudest.
