Chapter 194: Where did your ex-girlfriend strike it rich?

Wang Li repeatedly wanted to speak but held back.

He knows full well whether he's stupid or not.

These past years, if it weren't for Wang Zhen bringing him along, he'd probably have died unknown on some street.

Wang Li pursed his lips and said quietly, "Having another person protect Xiao Na is fine with me!"

"That's right!"

Wang Zhen smiled with relief.

A moment later.

The hospital room.

Wang Yingna sat on the hospital bed eating the dinner Wang Zhen had bought.

Li Jiaci held a tissue in his hand, occasionally wiping her mouth and hands.

Seeing this, Wang Zhen snarked, "Look at this guy's skill at serving people—he must have had plenty of girlfriends before. By the way, where's that Li something-or-other Lan making a fortune these days?"

Li something-or-other Lan.

Li Qinglan?

Wang Yingna said irritably, "Brother, can you stop being such a busybody?"

"Just asking, why are you in a hurry?"

Wang Zhen glared at her.

He then put his arm around Li Jiaci's neck, looking at him curiously.

In his previous life, after Li Jiaci lost everything, Wang Zhen was the only person he trusted.

He was also the person closest to him.

They were both convicted and imprisoned together, sharing the same cell.

They ate and defecated together.

At night they practically wanted to sleep holding hands.

How could he not know what Wang Zhen meant by asking that?

Li Jiaci smiled faintly.

"That Lan, I ran into her once not long ago in a tenement building!"

"She's become a beggar, her mind is addled!"

"She can't even recognize people anymore!"

Hearing that, Wang Zhen's eyes gained a sense of relief.

He nodded in satisfaction, saying, "That's good enough—she's gotten heaven's punishment; living like this will make her suffer more than death."

"Yes."

Li Jiaci agreed.

"What about your previous girlfriends?"

"If they knew you were this rich now, they'd regret it so much their intestines would turn green!"

"They'd come crawling back, begging to get back together!"

Wang Zhen kept probing.

Li Jiaci waved his hand and said, "There's no other woman—I've only ever had two partners, and your younger sister is the second, and will be the last."

At that moment, Wang Yingna finally realized.

It turned out Wang Zhen was asking all that to clear away future troubles for her.

She smiled and said, "Brother, if you don't trust Jiaci Ge, can you not trust me either?"

"Huh?"

Wang Zhen turned his head.

"With me by Jiaci Ge's side, which woman would dare to have designs on him?"

"I'm afraid they'd see me and feel inferior, unable to lift their heads."

"My standards aren't exactly one in ten thousand, but even with a lantern it'd be hard to find someone like me!"

"You'd agree, right, Jiaci Ge?"

Wang Yingna asked smugly.

Li Jiaci gave a slight nod.

"That's right."

"Looking all over Pingzhou, you won't find another woman with a hide as thick as yours!"

"Fine, Li Jiaci—just wait till I deal with you!"

The smug smile on Wang Yingna's face froze.

She bared her teeth and claws and lunged at Li Jiaci.

The two tussled together.

Wang Zhen was already used to it.

He silently cleared the dinner mess, then got up and left.

Several days passed.

Shiqiang Mu Cai Chang.

A day's shipping work ended.

Liu Jiang was about to close up when he saw a familiar private car slowly approach.

This time he wasn't as nervous as before.

Stood openly at the doorway, pointing inside.

"Liu Team, drive straight in!"

Liu Yanxi lowered the car window and nodded at him.

Drove the car into Mu Cai Chang.

The wind and snow weather continued to wreak havoc.

When Liu Yanxi got out of the car, she exhaled a thick white mist.

"It's really cold!"

She pushed open the office door, arms crossed, and said: "I've brought the list you wanted!"

The office had warmth from a stove.

Li Jiaci poured tea and pointed to the sofa.

"Sit down and warm up!"

No need for you to say that!

Liu Yanxi set down what she was holding, plopped down beside Li Jiaci, and reached out her hands to warm them by the fire.

But suddenly, she seemed to remember something.

She lifted her buttocks, shifted a few steps to the side, then sat down as if relieved of a burden.

"That'll do!"

Li Jiaci couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha, you still remember?"

One-meter safety distance.

This is Wang Yingna's demand of the two of them.

No, to be precise, it's a death order.

Li Jiaci passed the tea cup over.

Liu Yanxi reached out and took it.

"This place is full of her spies; how could I dare to slip up?"

At that moment, outside the office.

Zhang Chuqiang held a broom, sweeping the snow on the ground slowly and reluctantly.

From time to time he glanced outside at the situation inside the window.

Moreover, Liu Jiang not far away simply stood on the woodpile.

From a high vantage point, he overlooked their every move.

Liu Yanxi's gaze swept over them one by one.

Finally, she turned her head to look at Wang Lan sitting by the stove.

She laughed and said: "This brat has been guarding against me like a thief ever since I walked in!"

Wang Lan took a bite of roasted sweet potato, speaking unclearly: "I have to watch over my brother for my sister-in-law; I can't let any other woman be near him!"

"You're already calling her sister-in-law; looks like your thing is settled?"

Liu Yanxi asked, somewhat surprised.

Hearing that, Li Jiaci helplessly nodded.

"Yeah, it's done!"

At that moment.

In Liu Yanxi's eyes, a certain indescribable emotion suddenly began to fade away dimly.

But she quickly adjusted, picked up the list, and threw it in front of Li Jiaci.

"The thing you wanted!"

Li Jiaci opened it and took a look.

The densely packed names on it made his feelings complicated.

Clearly this paper is so thin, yet holding it in hand feels incredibly heavy.

And these are merely the tip of the iceberg of Lin Niansheng's many crimes.

Li Jiaci asked: "Can I visit them in prison?"

"Sure, I've already greeted the prison warden; you just need to report my name when you get there!"

Liu Yanxi had everything ready.

Looking at Li Jiaci nodding with a grim expression, she added: "I'm currently tallying the cases Lin Niansheng has handled; those who previously worked with him are also willing to cooperate with the investigation, and this time we must definitely send Lin Niansheng to prison!"

"That's certain!"

Li Jiaci has done all this just to personally send Lin Niansheng to prison.

Otherwise, he would look down on himself.

"All right, my colleagues are still waiting for me to return; I'm leaving first!"

Liu Yanxi stood up.

Li Jiaci originally wanted to see her out, but as soon as he rose, Wang Lan hurriedly stopped him.

Wang Lan stuffed the remaining roasted sweet potato directly into her mouth.

He made a gesturing invitation toward Liu Yanxi.

Indicating she should go out with him.

A flicker of embarrassment crossed Liu Yanxi's face.

Waiting for her to drive away.

Liu Jiang immediately shut the gate of Mu Cai Chang.

"Little Lan!"

"Just now, what did our brother and this woman talk about?"

Zhang Chuqiang walked over, gossiping.

Hearing that, Wang Lan smiled and said, "Brothers, just relax—our sister-in-law's position is solid!"

"The sister-in-law said, if any woman wants to see our brother alone, call her right away!"

"Should we call her now?"

"Um... does Liu Team count as a woman?"

"Nonsense, she doesn't have a 【male】 part!"
