Chapter 218: Unfounded Confidence

Is that it?

Zhou Wanting still couldn't quite believe it.

"You... agreed?"

Liu Yanxi shrugged: "Of course, we're family—today I'll yield to you, tomorrow you yield to me, it's nothing!"

The implication.

Should the police ever need to seek help from the Anti-Corruption Bureau in the future, I hope they will respond with gratitude and actively cooperate with police work.

Zhou Wanting nodded, deep in thought.

"Thanks then."

"You're welcome."

The two women shook hands and made peace.

As if the earlier flushed argument had never happened.

Li Jiaci laughed: "That's more like it—we're family, we'll discuss any issues!"

"Shut up!"

"I haven't forgiven you yet!"

Zhou Wanting gave him an annoyed glance.

As expected, only Li Jiaci was injured.

Who made him such a big sucker?

Liu Yanxi waved her hand and told Zhou Wanting: "Come with me, I'll hand the person over to you!"

"Okay."

The two walked out of the office.

Li Jiaci still had to wait for Li Qinglan to finish her investigation before he could leave.

He lit a cigarette and poured himself a cup of tea.

Just then.

A phone ring rang out.

The caller was Wang Yingna.

Li Jiaci smiled, picked up, and asked: "Any instructions?"

He had pretty much wrapped up his current work, so he had plenty of time to spend with his little girlfriend.

On the phone, Wang Yingna's laughter was sweet.

"Jiaci bro, where are you?"

Li Jiaci exhaled a puff of smoke and said: "Police Bureau."

"I'll come find you!"

"Hold on, you shouldn't be up and about in the hospital—what are you running around for?!"

"The doctor said I can be discharged!"

"Oh..."

"Just wait for me!"

"Hehe, okay!"

He hung up.

Li Jiaci was still immersed in the sweet, coquettish tone of Wang Yingna.

This guy hates being restrained the most.

After being cooped up in the hospital for days, being let out feels like a wild horse that's broken its reins, right?

Just thinking about it makes him happy.

……

Police Bureau lobby.

Lin Niansheng was brought out with a bitter expression.

Just as he was feeling annoyed, he saw someone who nearly made him break down.

Zhou Wanting of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Seeing him, Zhou Wanting raised her hand with a grin.

"Hey!"

"We meet again!"

A booming sound rang in Lin Niansheng's head.

It felt like something had exploded.

After reacting, he immediately turned to the hat beside him and asked: "Are you going to hand me over to the Anti-Corruption Bureau? Do you guys even do things like that?"

"Hehe, Master, I learned it from you!"

Maozi said with a grin.

Lin Niansheng looked at him, his feelings a mixed bag.

Then Zhou Wanting burst out laughing a few times.

"Hahaha!"

"Lin Niansheng, Lin Niansheng, you're not exactly hotshot, are you?"

"How did I end up in your hands again?"

Upon hearing that.

Lin Niansheng several times wanted to speak but stopped.

Finally, he shook his head resignedly.

What can he still do now?

He can't do anything!

The media widely publicized the news of his arrest.

The so-called family paid no attention to him, not even making a phone call.

His father-in-law Liu Yunshen, even more ungrateful, after the incident pretended to be a turtle withdrawing its head, ignoring his distress signals.

These people destroyed his life in an instant, and still want to step on him hard.

If I had known it would turn out like this.

What is Lin Niansheng still fighting with Li Jiaci about?

Wouldn't it be better to directly fight Liu Yunshen?

However, speaking of which.

Lin Niansheng is now arrested and in cuffs; I suppose Liu Yunshen's heart is not at peace either!

Thinking of this.

Lin Niansheng suddenly let out a few low laughs.

"Hehe..."

Zhou Wanting took the person from Maozi's hands, looked at him suspiciously: "What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing at myself, do you also care?"

Lin Niansheng retorted with a sharp remark.

The next second, he was violently pulled out by Zhou Wanting.

Escorted onto the vehicle.

Li Qinglan watched their departing backs.

Her eyes filled with hot tears.

She helped Lin Niansheng do so many wrongs; finally she can take charge herself and do a great good deed beneficial to society!

This also makes up somewhat for Li Jiaci.

Maozi closed the interrogation record, spoke lightly: "The investigation is over, you may leave!"

"Can I really leave?"

Li Qinglan somewhat couldn't believe this was true.

That Maozi didn't say anything, just pointed at the door, indicating she should leave.

Just as Li Qinglan hesitated.

Li Jiaci suddenly walked over from beside, asking her: "Is it all over?"

He carried a faint scent of tobacco.

Li Qinglan nodded.

"It's over!"

"Alright, let's go!"

Li Jiaci lightly waved his hand, leading the way toward the door.

This "we" made Li Qinglan's regretful heart involuntarily rise a hint of hope.

She knew Li Jiaci dreamed of making Lin Niansheng pay the price.

And she herself had just helped Li Jiaci fulfill that dream.

Perhaps...

Li Jiaci will be as before.

Once again soft-hearted.

And reaccept her?

Li Qinglan fantasized about this outcome, involuntarily quickened her steps, a hopeful smile appearing on her face.

"Jiaci, wait for me!"

"I have something to say to you!"

The Li Jiaci walking ahead stopped his feet, somewhat impatiently turned back.

"Speak!"

"Jiaci, I know saying these now is already too late!"

"But I still want to fight for a chance for myself!"

"Before I did many wrong things, but that wasn't my original intention; I was blinded by treacherous people!"

"Now I regret it, hoping to receive your forgiveness!"

"Can you, considering my help, give me a chance to reform?"

Li Qinglan said while wiping tears from the corner of her eyes.

Hearing these words, Li Jiaci furrowed his brows, and in front of her picked his ears.

"I'm sick of hearing this talk!"

"Nothing else, right?"

"Come out with me!"

"Jiaci, I haven't finished speaking yet; maybe after you see my change, we two could get back together!"

Li Qinglan shouted in a panic.

However.

She had just stepped out of the Police Bureau's front gate.

Then she saw a woman who was extremely familiar running over from the roadside.

Li Jiaci crouched on the ground, opened his arms, and caught her lunging body in one embrace, then stood up and spun twice.

This scene caused Li Jiaci's agitated heart to surge with strong waves.

She watched Li Jiaci gently tousle the woman's bangs and kiss her on the cheek.

Her heart ached so much she could hardly breathe.

Wang Yingna also noticed Li Qinglan, quickly patted Li Jiaci's shoulder, and said, "Put me down first!"

Li Jiaci gently set her down on the ground.

He lifted his chin at a certain car parked at the roadside.

Wang Li, sitting in the car, nodded in response.

They waited until the car left.

Li Jiaci then asked Wang Yingna, "Why wasn't it Brother Wang Zhen who brought you here?"

"My brother, he's currently busy dealing with inspections from above, and has social engagements every day!"

Wang Yingna tightened her grip on Li Jiaci's jacket, speaking in a relaxed tone.

Only a faint footsteps could be heard from nearby.

Li Qinglan stepped up to the two of them, her expression no longer joyful as before but instead gloomy, and she softly asked, "You two... when did you get together?"
