Lin Bingchun, who had worked with Xu Xinchen for so long, was a little hesitant to joke around with her. The short-haired girl next to her was even more hesitant, as she vividly remembered Chen Ningsheng's reaction when he first entered the police station.

Xu Xinchen was initially surprised not to see Lin Bingchun coming over to bother her, but when she saw the two of them glancing at her with fearful eyes, she immediately understood what they meant.

For a moment, Xu Xinchen was both amused and exasperated. She quietly reached out and pinched Chen Ningsheng, whispering, "Look at you, you scared all my friends."

Chen Ningsheng felt completely innocent; he hadn't done anything wrong. However, seeing the smile on Xu Xinchen's face, Chen Ningsheng thought it best to let it go. As long as his wife was happy, whatever she said was fine.

They didn't have to wait long. Just as Xu Xinchen was about to go up and chat with Lin Bingchun and the short-haired girl, a sudden braking sound came from behind.

The group turned around and saw a police car pull up. Zhao Jianguo got out and nodded solemnly when he saw Chen Ningsheng.

He then walked to the back door of the car, reached out and pulled, dragging several people out. Xu Xinchen looked at the third brother, who was the first to be dragged out, and his eyes filled with intense hatred.

After the third brother, Sister Hua got out of the car, followed by Zhao Jun. The three of them saw Xu Xinchen. Except for Zhao Jun, who had no reaction, the other two looked at her with extremely angry eyes.

Rewind to before the three of them were arrested. After Zhao Jun released Xu Xinchen, he immediately turned a corner and went to the other side, where he found a place to rest along the mountain road.

After the time he had estimated arrived, Zhao Jun ran a few laps in place until he was sweating. He then grabbed a handful of dirt and sprinkled it on his shoes and trouser legs.

Then, he pressed his clothes tightly against his back to absorb the sweat, pretended to be extremely tired, and climbed back to the small building on the mountaintop.

When Zhao Jun arrived at the small building, he indeed saw Lao San, who was also covered in sweat. When Lao San saw that Zhao Jun was empty-handed, his expression immediately changed.

"Zhao Jun! Didn't you say that woman's hands and feet were injured and she couldn't have gone far? What's going on now? We can't even find her!"

Zhao Jun pretended to be helpless and wiped away his sweat, trying to show Lao San that he was also very tired from looking for Xu Xinchen.

"Third, Third Brother..." Zhao Jun said, panting heavily, "I, I don't know why that woman could run so fast. She was clearly injured, I don't know what happened."

The third brother's eyes widened, filled with anger: "How dare you say that! If it weren't for your overflowing sympathy, insisting on getting that woman some kind of medicinal powder and bandages to treat her injuries, we wouldn't be in this mess!"

Zhao Jun's expression changed instantly, and his tone became agitated: "Third Brother, what do you mean by this! I treated that woman's wounds because I was afraid she would catch a high fever from the festering wounds! If that woman really gets a fever, where are we going to find a doctor to treat her!"

A string of words burst from Zhao Jun's mouth, his tone becoming more and more agitated: "What we do is shady business! If something happens to this woman, we can't treat her. Can we threaten people with just a corpse?"

How is it my fault that I planned ahead?

The third brother stomped his feet in anger, pointed his finger at Zhao Jun, and wanted to curse, but for a moment he didn't know what to say. Zhao Jun was absolutely right.

If Xu Xinchen really had an accident, they wouldn't be able to threaten her with a corpse. Taking a corpse out would likely get them arrested. But now that she's been treated, they don't even have a corpse left!

This farcical turn of events left Lao San completely unable to convince himself not to blame Zhao Jun, but blaming Zhao Jun was also a weak excuse. After much deliberation, Lao San decided he had to hold back for now and find the person first.

Unfortunately, the third brother wanted to let it go, but Zhao Jun couldn't. He had to put himself on a high ground from the beginning, a high ground that was for the good of all of them, so that he wouldn't be killed by this group of ruthless people.

“Her foot wounds were rotting, and I thought we couldn’t let her die, so I did those things for her. Was I wrong? If I hadn’t scraped off the rotting flesh, she might have died from a high fever and infection. How can you blame me?”

Zhao Jun looked extremely angry, and the more he spoke, the more convincing it sounded: "I finally managed to break through my mental defenses to do this, Third Brother, do you think I didn't want to succeed? I wanted to make money faster than anyone else, and now that my money is gone, who knows how much I'm suffering!"

The third brother was originally angry because he couldn't find Xu Xinchen and didn't have much of a problem with Zhao Jun. But now that he heard Zhao Jun say that, he felt a little guilty. He lowered his head and coughed a few times.

He said in an extremely unnatural tone, "Well, Zhao Jun, you see, your third brother just had a little to drink and got a bit tipsy. Don't take his words to heart."

Zhao Jun glanced at the third brother, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it, pursing his lips.

She pursed her lips, her face still showing anger, but not as intense as before: "Third Brother, you were just in a hurry, I understand."

Just as the third brother breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Jun, with his sharp eyes, spotted a person dressed in red slowly approaching from behind him. Zhao Jun's face turned cold, and before the third brother could catch his breath, he continued speaking.

"But Third Brother, it's not that I'm criticizing you, I've already told you before that we shouldn't let our guard down. We can't just ignore the woman inside after drinking and eating. But what did you do? You get drunk and lock the door, then leave her alone. If you ask me, it's all your fault that she got away!"

The third brother originally thought that the matter was over and done with, but unexpectedly, Zhao Jun directly criticized him, which completely stunned him. He immediately tried to refute.

"What nonsense are you spouting! How is it my fault! We've just been locking her up and not letting her out, we haven't done anything else, and she's been staying there just fine, so what does this have to do with me?"

No sooner had the third brother finished speaking than a cold voice came from behind him: "What are you talking about?"
