Chapter 74: Gun and Powder

Hehe.

Wang Lan scratched his head, gave a dry laugh, and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Just as Wang Lan was about to turn and leave.

Suddenly, a heavy breathing sound came from inside the room.

Hearing that sound, Wang Lan couldn't help but startle.

Li Jiaci was also a bit dazed, and hurriedly ran back into the room.

Who else could be making that sound besides Wang Yingna?

I don't know when.

Wang Yingna had already woken up.

Her whole body curled up into a ball, constantly swaying.

"Cold, so cold…"

Wang Yingna trembled as she said, "Do you… do you have any blankets at home?"

"Yes!"

Seeing this scene.

Li Jiaci then understood.

She was having withdrawal symptoms.

"Close the door!"

Li Jiaci casually said to Wang Lan,

Then he took out again the bedsheet strips he had previously used to bind Wang Yingna.

After Wang Lan closed the door and came back, Li Jiaci threw him a portion of the strips.

"What… what is this for, brother?"

Wang Lan asked, his face full of confusion.

"She's having a drug craving flare-up."

"If we don't tie her hands and feet, she could easily harm herself."

Li Jiaci said, "I'll hold her hands and feet in a moment; you quickly tie her up."

After saying that.

He didn't care what expression Wang Lan had, and strode forward, gripping Wang Yingna's wrist tightly.

"As long as you obey me."

"I'll fetch you a blanket!"

"Okay, okay…"

Wang Yingna nodded obediently.

Meanwhile, Wang Lan standing aside remained motionless for a long time.

Li Jiaci couldn't help shouting at him, "What are you standing there for? Come on!"

Wang Lan reacted.

He hurriedly grabbed the strips, stepped forward, and, following Li Jiaci's instructions, bound Wang Yingna's hands and feet.

After making sure the bindings were secure,

Li Jiaci then found a cloth and stuffed it into Wang Yingna's mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue.

While watching Wang Yingna constantly struggle and tremble on the bed, like a madman,

Wang Lan swallowed, his eyes full of bewilderment, and asked, "Is… this what a drug craving flare-up looks like?"

"Yes."

Li Jiaci looked at Wang Lan and said, "So from now on, you must absolutely avoid touching this stuff, or else I'll tie you up too."

Wang Lan shivered, gave a forced smile, and said, "Don't worry, brother; I, I will absolutely never touch this stuff."

"Not touching is best."

Li Jiaci let out a light breath, then immediately told Wang Lan, "Tonight you'll sleep in this room with me; I'm afraid I won't be able to hold her down at night."

That day.

He almost couldn't hold down Wang Yingna.

If it weren't for Wang Yingna later running out of strength, something would surely have happened.

Although Wang Lan couldn't help others quit the drug,

but at least he had the strength to be of help in critical moments.

And Wang Lan, without thinking much, immediately nodded and agreed.

Li Jiaci and Wang Lan then stood guard nearby, smoking and chatting idly.

But when his eyes caught sight of the plastic bag holding fruit, Wang Lan pursed his lips, turned to look at Li Jiaci, his expression troubled, and asked, "Brother, did you and your sister-in-law break up because of us?"

"Huh?"

Li Jiaci hadn't expected that either; he suddenly asked about Li Qinglan.

"It has nothing to do with you."

Li Jiaci reached out and rubbed Wang Lan's head, saying,

"Why is that?"

Wang Lan said, "You two weren't doing well before?"

Actually, each of them had envied Li Jiaci and Li Qinglan's relationship.

They even took them as role models, thinking that when they eventually found girlfriends, they would surely be just like their older brother.

But suddenly, the two of them broke up, and this also left them both unable to react.

Looking at Wang Lan's appearance, Li Jiaci also couldn't help but sigh.

If it weren't that the time hadn't come yet.

He truly wanted to tell everything to his brothers.

But if he said it out loud, who would believe him?

So he could only endure it himself, keeping those secrets hidden in his heart.

Alright, don't ask more about this.

Li Jiaci nudged Wang Lan and said, "Go get two fruits; after you eat them, take a nap. I'll watch her myself, and if I can't control her later, I'll call you."

Oh.

Wang Lan nodded.

After that, Wang Lan didn't think much, got up straight away and went to wash the fruits.

Thud!

Just as his hand touched the fruit bag, the door was suddenly kicked open from outside.

Next, a group of Maozi armed with guns rushed in from outside under Lin Niansheng's lead.

Don't move, anyone!

Lin Niansheng held a police pistol, pointing at the two people inside.

The remaining Maozi quickly ran into the room, and upon seeing Wang Yingna tightly bound on the bed, their faces all darkened.

Especially Liu Yanxin, who came along, lifted her leg and kicked Li Jiaci in the chest as he was about to rise, directly sending him back down to sit.

Don't dare move again!

Liu Yanxin shouted angrily, "I'll shoot you dead with one shot!"

Li Jiaci's chest almost exploded from that kick, and it took him a while to catch his breath.

No, big sister.

He helplessly looked at the person before him and said, "Did you misunderstand something?"

What misunderstanding?

What else is there to misunderstand?

Liu Yanxin glared, eyes wide, and said, "Now we have enough evidence to prove you kidnapped a single woman with intent to do wrong!"

Li Jiaci's face was filled with bewilderment at her words.

When had he ever kidnapped a single woman with intent to do wrong?

But...

Looking at Wang Yingna's current state, it really does seem a bit like that.

And just as Li Jiaci was pondering how to explain, a Maozi nearby suddenly said, "Found it—this is the gun we lost from our team!"

He heard these words.

Li Jiaci accordingly looked up.

When he saw that the person was holding a pistol, he was dumbfounded.

Where did this come from?

No!

There's still something here.

Before he could make sense of the situation, he saw that Maozi produce a large packet of white powder.

And this time.

Li Jiaci finally saw clearly where the other person had taken the thing from—it was that black plastic bag.

Seeing the plastic bag, Li Jiaci stared blankly and slowly turned his head to look at Wang Lan.

This thing, he brought it back himself.

And Wang Lan, being closer, saw it more clearly than Li Jiaci.

When he saw the other person pull out so much from the bag originally meant for fruit, Wang Lan's eyes widened even more.

And he couldn't help but look toward Li Jiaci, saying, "Brother, no, it's not me, really not me..."

"This, this, this isn't ours, really not ours."

Wang Lan trembled as he said, "When my sister-in-law gave this to me, inside there was only fruit, only fruit!"

Damn it, even now you still dare to make excuses?

Lin Niansheng kicked Wang Lan in the abdomen and snarled, "Cuff both of them for me!"
