Chapter 233: Lin Niansheng died

Suddenly so many cargo yards joined in, and the one who profits is always Li Jiaci himself.

The more cargo shipped, the more it shows he earns.

It's just that he doesn't like Gao Xin's manner.

Using the introducer's relationship, he profits from both sides.

Put it plainly, this is also to let Gao Xin know when to stop, don't feign ignorance while knowing, and only do things that can't see the light of day.

After these people left.

Li Jiaci formed a map in his mind.

Half of these bosses are from the provincial capital, meaning his business scale has taken another big step forward.

Given time, his scale will be able to cover the entire northeastern region.

Just thinking about it feels so good he can't sleep.

But some things aren't settled yet, so Li Jiaci will never be completely at ease.

He took the opportunity when he was free, pulled out his phone and called Liu Yanxi.

It was quickly connected.

"Hey, Liu Team."

"How is the investigation into Lin Niansheng's case progressing?"

On the other end of the line, Liu Yanxi sighed and said, "This case is no longer under my jurisdiction; it's now fully handled by the Anti-Corruption Bureau!"

Hearing that, Li Jiaci merely frowned slightly.

His expression didn't change much.

This result was within his expectations.

He asked, "If the case isn't under your jurisdiction, the person should still be under your responsibility, right?"

"Well, after Lin Niansheng finishes the Anti-Corruption Bureau's investigation, he'll return to my turf!"

Listening to Liu Yanxi's answer.

Li Jiaci's eyes suddenly darkened.

Memories of his past life also surged forth in an instant.

In his past life, Lin Niansheng relied on Liu Yunshen, and those days were quite comfortable.

By the time Li Jiaci returns to this homeland, his family had already taken root in the provincial capital.

Li Jiaci held the belief that killing one is better than none.

He found Zhang Shiqiang's former subordinates and questioned each one about Li Qinglan's whereabouts.

But after inquiring through many channels, he obtained an unexpected result.

That Li Qinglan mysteriously disappeared soon after Lin Niansheng's family moved away.

He thought she might have taken money and fled abroad.

Li Jiaci quickly reported to the police.

However, Maozi told him that there were no entry/exit records for Li Qinglan at all.

This also means Li Qinglan is not missing, but dead.

And her corpse's whereabouts are unknown.

Who would do something so absolute?

Lin Niansheng?

But perhaps not.

Li Jiaci withdrew his sharp gaze.

He then reminded Liu Yanxi on the other end of the line, "Team Liu, the Lin Niansheng case involves many people's interests; we cannot rule out the possibility that someone has sent an assassin!"

"I understand!"

"You must carefully inspect his food and daily necessities!"

"Okay, got it!"

Liu Yanxi readily agreed.

She hung up the phone.

Li Jiaci relaxed a little.

Now, as long as Liu Yanxi's side doesn't slip up, the whole matter can be resolved quickly.

That night.

After washing up, Li Jiaci, exhausted, collapsed beside Wang Yingna.

"Finally I can rest!"

Then Wang Yingna snorted, turned over, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said sourly, "You see my brother more often than you see me!"

Li Jiaci was amused by that remark.

I've seen people jealous over women, but never jealous over their own brother.

"Thank goodness there are no female bosses among those we work with now, otherwise you, this vinegar essence, could easily let me off!"

Wang Yingna buried her head, laughed, and liked to crawl under Li Jiaci's armpit, enjoying the feeling of being wrapped in his whole arm.

Just as they were being lovey-dovey.

A sudden urgent phone ring broke their intimacy.

Wang Yingna, annoyed, asked, "Who is calling you this late?"

"Surely there's something up!"

Li Jiaci sat up, reached into the pocket of the coat draped beside the bed, and pulled out his phone.

The caller was Liu Yanxi.

Upon seeing that name, he felt an inexplicable sense of unease.

Wang Yingna poked her head over, then snatched the phone away.

"I was wondering who it was—turns out it's the renowned Captain Liu!"

"Give me the phone first!"

"No, I want to hear what cheeky things she's saying to you in the middle of the night!"

"Don't mess around!"

Li Jiaci had just reached out.

That guy quickly answered the phone and deliberately moved a bit farther away.

The dormitory was quiet at night.

Li Jiaci could faintly hear Liu Yanxi's voice coming from the other end of the phone.

Meanwhile, Wang Yingna's face suddenly changed color.

She stared wide-eyed.

"What did Liu Team say?"

Li Jiaci asked urgently.

Wang Yingna shook her head in panic, then tossed the phone into his arms.

This bad feeling deepened further.

Li Jiaci picked up the phone and held it to his ear.

"It's me—say what you just said again!"

On the phone, Liu Yanxi spoke in a deep tone, word by word: "Lin Niansheng is dead."

Blazing flames raged wildly within Li Jiaci's body.

He closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down.

But he couldn't control it no matter what.

"Damn, I didn't ask you to watch over him, did I?!"

"You agreed rather readily!"

"Now you tell me he's dead? Dead?!"

"As a police captain, you're handling things like you're messing around, damn it!"

"Someone could get killed right under your nose!"

"How am I supposed to trust you?!"

Li Jiaci had never lost his temper with Liu Yanxi like this before.

This scene not only shocked Liu Yanxi on the other end of the phone, but also frightened Wang Yingna sitting before him.

Liu Yanxi remained silent for a long time.

She finally managed to utter three words.

"Sorry."

Li Jiaci grabbed a handful of hair and shouted angrily: "What the hell good is one sorry from you?!"

With Lin Niansheng's death, all the leads afterward were cut off.

All their previous efforts would come to naught.

It would let the mastermind pulling the strings behind the scenes continue to roam free.

Li Jiaci angrily hung up the phone.

Amid his ragged breaths, his chest rose and fell rapidly.

Wang Yingna looked at his ferocious expression, hesitated several times before daring to approach, and whispered: "Jiaci bro, don't be angry—I'm a little… scared of you like this!"

She almost forgot.

The man she had taken a liking to used to be a dragon on the streets.

He would kill anyone who stood in his way—men or Buddhas alike.

Cutting a bloody path single-handedly was nothing to him.

Li Jiaci took a deep breath.

The sharpness in his eyes eased slightly.

He waved his hand and said softly: "I'm fine; I'll just go out for a smoke."

Wang Yingna pressed her lips and nodded silently.

A moment later.

Li Jiaci came to the snowy ground wearing a heavy coat.

He lit a cigarette and took a strong drag of the thick smoke.

Then he slowly exhaled it toward the night sky.

He had thought someone might be secretly manipulating things, tripping them up and thwarting their plans.

But he never expected a slip-up from within their own ranks.

Thus Lin Niansheng was sent down to the Yellow Springs just like that.

It was far too lenient for him.

In life he had committed countless evils; even if he wasn't the mastermind, he was wholly deserving as the executor.

Zhang Shiqiang was the one he got killed.

Damn it.

The enemy I had in hand just died like that.
