Chapter 210: Finally, I've waited for you

Anything that involves that crazy woman, I'm 100% on my sister-in-law's side!

After Zhao Chen said that, fearing Li Jiaci might lose his temper on the spot, he hurriedly slipped out.

Once he left,

Li Jiaci immediately laughed and shook his head.

These idiots.

Do they really think he'd get angry over such a trivial matter?

The more they respected Wang Yingna, the happier Li Jiaci became.

This is being sensible, not betrayal.

If a few brothers could, through Wang Yingna, learn to love their future wives, that would be even better.

It got very late.

Only then did Zhao Chen drive back.

Seeing Zhao Chen alone, Li Jiaci couldn't help but frown and ask, "Where is Li Qinglan?"

"Brother, don't be in a hurry, let me drink some water!"

Zhao Chen took off his ear-covering cap, exhaling cold air as he walked over to the stove and sat down.

He poured a cup of hot water and gulped down several mouthfuls.

Not fearing it would scald his throat.

After warming up a bit,

Zhao Chen blew his nose loudly, then said: "I went to the apartment building looking for Li Qinglan but didn't find her; I asked a few street vendors, and they said that last month they saw a vehicle from the Mental Illness Treatment Center parked at the alley entrance, and two medical staff in white coats got out and took Li Qinglan away!"

"Mental Illness Treatment Center?"

"Yes, they said it was because Li Qinglan had been acting crazy everywhere, frightening the nearby residents so they didn't dare go out, and someone reported her!"

"I see..."

Li Jiaci nodded.

It's getting late.

The two chatted briefly, then each returned to their dormitory to sleep.

The next day.

Li Jiaci drove to the Mental Illness Treatment Center.

That is, the so-called mental hospital.

It is located in the suburbs.

Within a hundred-mile radius, there are no other buildings.

The outer building of the mental hospital looks as sinister as a ghost house.

Rust stains are visible everywhere.

Each window has four or five long strips of board nailed to the outside.

Heavy chains are installed on the main gate.

Moreover, a wall over three meters high surrounds the building, enclosing it completely.

Li Jiaci put himself in that situation and thought.

If he were locked up in such a place, he'd go crazy even if he wasn't already.

After negotiating at the front desk, a little nurse led Li Jiaci to Li Qinglan's single room.

The hallway echoed with chaotic shouts.

Li Jiaci felt his scalp go numb.

How would one describe that kind of shouting?

Just hearing it makes one's skin crawl.

It feels like needles pricking the heart, unbearable.

The nurse pushed open the door, looked at Li Jiaci with a numb expression, and said, "The person you're looking for is right here!"

"Thanks."

Li Jiaci gave a polite smile.

He quickly glanced at the interior.

The single room had only a door, a window, and a bed.

The nurse had just stepped out.

Suddenly a person rushed out, with messy tangled hair like a ghost's, a mouth full of yellow teeth and grime, and a body reeking of a mixture of feces and urine.

Li Jiaci stared for a good while before recognizing the person.

It was indeed Li Qinglan.

"Jiaci!"

"Am I not dreaming right now?"

"I finally… finally waited for you, Jiaci!"

Li Qinglan pushed aside her tangled hair, her eyes shining with surprise and excitement.

Just looking at her, one could tell she was about to lunge forward.

Li Jiaci had been prepared.

The moment Li Qinglan rose, he dashed to the other side of the bed.

"Stand there honestly!"

Hearing that, Li Qinglan really did stop, standing honestly still.

Standing there, motionless.

Like a sentinel on duty, his back ramrod straight, hands pressed tightly against his hips.

This mental hospital really has some skill.

Li Jiaci's impression of this place greatly improved.

Li Qinglan's face was wet with two streams of excited tears.

"I look forward to you coming over every day."

"Every time someone pushes the door open, I imagine that person is you!"

"Jiaci, I know I was wrong; please forgive me, okay?"

"During this time I've thought of you day and night; there hasn't been a single day when I wasn't regretting it!"

"Give me a chance to make up for my mistake!"

Upon hearing that.

Li Jiaci frowned suspiciously.

She had said these words before, and not just once.

But each time it was to help Lin Niansheng frame me, a deliberate facade.

Li Qinglan's words have lost all credibility.

Seeing Li Jiaci not believe her.

Li Qinglan fell to her knees with a thud.

It's interesting.

She knelt with her knees straight, keeping her upper body in the stance of a sentinel.

It seemed as if, as long as Li Jiaci didn't relent, she would stay like that.

Li Qinglan's eyes were bloodshot.

Her voice choked up several times.

"This time I'm not lying to you."

"Every word comes from the depths of my heart, sincere and true!"

Li Jiaci took a few steps forward.

Li Qinglan's gaze followed him closely, her eyes full of guilt.

Thus, Li Jiaci relaxed and raised his hand toward her.

"Get up!"

"I won't get up; if you don't forgive me, I'll stay kneeling!"

Li Qinglan shook her head and said.

"Fine, then stay kneeling!"

Li Jiaci didn't argue with her either.

Anyway, whether she kneels or not, it's not my knees that hurt.

If she enjoys kneeling, let her kneel.

Li Jiaci then said: "This time I came to you to ask for a favor!"

"As long as you forgive me, I'm willing to do anything you ask!"

Li Qinglan gazed at him with intense eyes.

Full of longing for atonement.

She had been mad for days, and then locked up for days.

She looked tormented, neither human nor ghost.

But little did they know, now is when she is most lucid.

All the past events.

If she could start over, she would never repeat her mistakes.

She had dug herself into this state.

Li Jiaci said: "This matter is simple; you just need to step forward and accuse Lin Niansheng of his crimes!"

Li Qinglan's eyes showed a subtle change.

With a hint of doubt.

"What happened to Lin Niansheng?"

"He's about to face a great disaster!"

"How wonderful; this is the best news I've heard in these days!"

Li Qinglan excitedly clenched her fists.

If it weren't for Lin Niansheng's threats and lures, coercing her to betray Li Jiaci, she wouldn't have fallen to this state!

Now, she feels boundless regret.

If she had held to her principles back then, not harmed Li Jiaci and his brothers, nor crossed the legal red line to abet evil, how wonderful her life would be now!

Even when Li Jiaci was at his wit's end, he could still give her everything; let alone now.

Just that Mu Cai Chang alone would have secured her a lifetime of wealth and honor.

What a pity.

All those things that were originally hers have gone to waste!

Thinking of that,

Li Qinglan's eyes flashed with a hint of hatred.

「Even if you don't come to find me today, someday I will go to the Police Bureau to report him! 」

Li Jiaci gave a contemptuous smile: "Do you still have such awareness?"

Li Qinglan resentfully wiped away her tears.

「If it weren't for him, Lin Niansheng, how could I have ended up like this? 」

「I admit my fault and have accepted punishment, but what about his fault? Does he dare to admit it? 」

「I'm afraid he doesn't dare! 」

「Then let me give him a hand! 」
