Chapter 75: Is it time to eat?

At this moment.

Liu Yanxin, standing opposite Li Jiaci, had no hesitation; she stepped forward with the handcuffs, forced him to turn over, and cuffed his hands.

Once Li Jiaci was subdued,

Liu Yanxin clapped her hands and said to the several Maozi behind her: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and let the person go, or you'll ruin the bindings!"

Li Jiaci finally came to his senses at this moment.

He rushed straight to the two people who were trying to free Wang Yingna's bonds and shouted urgently: "Don't move, she…"

He hadn't finished speaking yet.

Lin Niansheng then rushed over and slammed his knee hard into his abdomen.

"Why are you talking so much, you damn bastard?"

Li Jiaci lay on the ground, looking up at Lin Niansheng, and actually laughed.

After a moment, he sat up from the ground, tilted his head, and asked: "Is this your doing again?"

Upon hearing Wang Lan mention the term "sister-in-law"...

Then, connecting the dots, when he suddenly asked himself today why he wanted to break up with Li Qinglan, he understood what was going on.

These two really never die in their desire to kill him.

And when Lin Niansheng heard Li Jiaci's name, his face also turned pale.

But he still put on a tough front, saying: "What nonsense are you spouting? Hurry up and get two people to take him away!"

Several people, hearing the voice, immediately walked over, grabbed Li Jiaci from the ground in a clumsy way, and dragged him outside.

And it was also at this time.

One of the Maozi untied the bonds on Wang Yingna's wrists.

After a moment.

A earth-shattering scream came from inside the room.

Upon hearing this sound,

Li Jiaci showed a hint of mockery: "Not listening to elders' words brings loss right before your eyes."

"Shut up!"

The Maozi beside him then quietly gave Li Jiaci an elbow.

Li Jiaci grunted, then looked at that Maozi and said: "Want a chance to make money?"

"I'm telling you to shut up!"

That Maozi's brows furrowed even deeper.

"You don't need to do anything else, just go deliver a message."

Li Jiaci said: "That person will definitely pay you more than you could earn in many years."

"Hah!"

That Maozi snorted coldly: "Do you think I'm someone who can be bought with money?"

"You're so noble and impressive."

"But there's something I must remind you of."

Li Jiaci said: "That woman may not be anything special, but her brother is called Wang Zhen."

"And she's now having withdrawal symptoms; if you don't quickly find her family and take her to the hospital, she'll likely die in your hands."

Li Jiaci leaned close to that Maozi and whispered: "If Wang Zhen ever finds out that you killed his sister, what would he do? Would he risk his life to wipe out your whole family?"

Upon hearing Li Jiaci's words,

That Maozi was obviously a bit stunned.

At this time in Pingzhou, Wang Zhen truly held sway over both the underworld and the authorities.

"Don't think you can fool me!"

The Maozi gave Li Jiaci another elbow and said: "How could Wang Zhen's sister be in the home of a lowlife like you?"

"Heh."

"How it got to my house is none of your business."

"Anyway, I've said what I needed to say; whether you act on it is up to you."

Li Jiaci said: "If it were me, I'd definitely choose to believe and take a gamble; maybe then I wouldn't have to worry about my child's tuition or my wife's living expenses."

That Maozi gave Li Jiaci a deep look.

But he said nothing and directly shoved Li Jiaci into the police car.

And Wang Lan also had someone push him in from the other side.

At this moment.

Wang Lan was almost on the verge of tears, rushing to explain to Li Jiaci: "Brother, I really don't know what's going on, I, I…"

"Alright!"

Li Jiaci gave him a reassuring glance and then said: "Brother knows this has nothing to do with you; someone is framing us."

"Huh?"

Wang Lan stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Could it be, could it be the sister-in-law? How could she…"

"Sigh…"

Li Jiaci sighed: "I told you before not to trust her or bother with her, but you little brat didn't listen to a word."

"This woman is no good."

"She's been preparing to harm us brothers for a long time…"

Upon hearing Li Jiaci's words,

Wang Lan felt as if her worldview were about to collapse.

"How could this be, sister-in-law, how could this be…"

"Impossible, impossible, she wouldn't do that…"

Looking at Wang Lan's current state.

Li Jiaci also recalled his former self.

When he had once heard others say that Li Qinglan had harmed them, he looked just like this.

That was the woman he loved most, the woman he held in his palm, cherished at the tip of his heart for many years.

How could she betray herself, how could she harm herself?

And now, Wang Lan had clearly fallen into this same emotion.

Li Jiaci didn't say anything more, just silently calculating how to respond next.

Now they both seem to have fallen into the pit that Li Qinglan and Lin Niansheng dug for them; if they can't find a way to prove their innocence, they're surely doomed this time.

…

On the way back to the government office.

Wang Lan kept explaining to the Maozi that these things weren't sent by him; someone else had given them to him to pass on to Li Jiaci.

But who would believe his words?

Once back at the government office, they separately detained Li Jiaci and Wang Lan.

The one in charge of interrogating Li Jiaci was still Liu Yanxin, and even her opening remarks were exactly the same as before.

When he heard this person ask about his gender again.

Li Jiaci felt like jumping up and slapping her.

"Do you think you're pretty funny?"

"Is it interesting to ask this question over and over?"

Liu Yanxin slammed the table, glared at Li Jiaci, and said, "Say what you're told to say; where do you get all this nonsense?"

Her attitude this time was obviously much worse than before.

Actually, upon reflection, it's not hard to understand her change; it's mostly related to Wang Yingna.

Ask any woman who sees a scene like that; it's hard not to think more about it, and even harder not to hate the person who did it.

Li Jiaci let out a silent sigh and could only helplessly reply, "Male!"

Liu Yanxin continued, "Do you know what crime you've committed?"

"I don't know."

"Things have come to this, and you still want to make excuses?"

Liu Yanxin raised her brows at Li Jiaci and said, "We found in your home the police gun that our bureau lost a few days ago, five hundred grams of powder, and the girl you trussed up tightly, who almost cleared your name—how do you explain this?"

"First!"

"As for the police gun, I'm seeing it for the first time today too."

Li Jiaci said, "Besides, do I look like an idiot? Why would I steal something like that when I have nothing to do?"

"Second!"

"You, as a Maozi, can't you use your brain to think about the problem?"

Li Jiaci said, exasperated, "Who the hell buys powder in five-hundred-gram batches all at once? Do they eat it like rice, or are they just trying to kill themselves because they think their life is too long?"
