Zhou Hongsong looked at Li Xiangdong.

Li Xiangdong pondered for a while and said, "Several months have passed since this incident, so it will definitely be difficult to investigate again. Besides, there should be no more evidence on Zhao Xiaopei."

Qiao Xiaohuan's heart sank, and she was about to retort when Zhou Hongsong pressed her hand down, shook his head, and gestured for her to continue listening to Li Xiangdong finish speaking.

Li Xiangdong bent his middle finger and tapped the table lightly.

"However, our village has always had a patrol team."

Go to Uncle Kang's place and find out who was on patrol that night!

Ask if there were any outsiders that night!

He said that, but it was really just a last resort.

If the criminal didn't enter from the village entrance, or if the patrolling officers didn't see him, they wouldn't be able to find him at all.

Of course, there is also the worst-case scenario.

This criminal is from Lijiapo.

Li Xiangdong's gaze was deep, and he continued, "In addition, there is something even more important."

Even if your own brother does something wrong, you can still beat him or scold him, but you still have to clean up his mess.

Besides, Zhao Xiaopei is a really pitiful girl, and we must make it up to her.

Li Xiangdong said to Qiao Xiaohuan, "Sister-in-law, we need your help with this important matter."

Qiao Xiaohuan wiped away her tears, "Go ahead."

“Zhao Xiaopei has been traumatized and has developed mental problems, but it hasn’t been long yet. I think we should send her to a mental hospital for treatment immediately.”

In this way, she might have a good chance of recovering.

Qiao Xiaohuan nodded repeatedly, "You're right!"

Li Xiangdong added, "It's just that Zhao Xiaopei's parents are keeping this a secret. We're afraid they won't be happy if we send their daughter to a mental hospital in secret."

They are your closest relatives, sister-in-law, so I'll have to trouble you to handle this matter.

As for the hospital and medical expenses, they don't need to worry about it; I'll take care of everything.

Li Xiangjie interjected, "Second Brother, I'll pay for it!"

Li Xiangdong glared at him. "You really should pay for this! Besides, you need to take care of Zhao Xiaopei personally. If she recovers and forgives you, that's fine. But if she continues like this, you'd better think about what to do next!"

Qiao Xiaohuan was surprised that Li Xiangdong would say such a thing to Li Xiangjie.

To be honest, when Qiao Xiaohuan first saw her cousin's miserable state, she hated Li Xiangjie to the core.

I just wish I could skin him alive and eat his flesh.

But after calming down, she realized that she couldn't blame Li Xiangjie entirely for the whole thing.

He's certainly a womanizer and a scumbag, but his cousin's luck is just too bad.

Of course, the worst of all was that rapist.

That's what Qiao Xiaohuan thought, but Li Xiangdong's last words to Li Xiangjie made her feel much better.

She was an impatient person, and she stood up in a hurry to go to her uncle's house.

Zhou Hongsong stopped her, "It's New Year's Eve, there's no reason to visit relatives. Let's go on the afternoon of New Year's Day!"

"But my sister ran away, and my uncle and aunt are probably very worried!"

Zhou Hongsong thought about it and realized that made sense. "Fine! I'll go with you!"

He then asked Li Xiangdong for the Santana keys, saying, "I'll drive there!"

Li Xiangdong asked him to carry two more cases of Wuliangye liquor. "Brother Wu, try to persuade the old folks again. It would be best to call the police."

Zhou Hongsong nodded and led Qiao Xiaohuan and Zhao Xiaopei away.

Zhao Xiaopei held onto Li Xiangjie tightly and wouldn't let go; she would get angry with anyone who tried to make her leave.

"Second Brother, how about Fifth Brother and I take Xiao Pei home together?"

Li Xiangdong nodded, unable to bear seeing Zhao Xiaopei's expression.

Li Xiangjie coaxed Zhao Xiaopei into getting into the Santana with gentle words.

Watching the Santana disappear into the night, Li Xiangdong remained silent for a long time.

I wonder if Li Xiangjie understands his true feelings about how he handled things tonight.

The reason he was so furious was not only because he was angry that Zhao Xiaopei, an innocent woman, had gotten into trouble on the ground in Lijiapo.

Another crucial reason is that Zhao Xiaopei is Qiao Xiaohuan's cousin!

If he showed even the slightest sign of favoring Li Xiangjie, how could Qiao Xiaohuan and Zhou Hongsong be convinced?

In this way, the brothers will inevitably drift apart.

Li Xiangdong's mind was in turmoil.

Just then, Li Jiabao led a group of children out.

"Second brother, second brother, what have you been playing behind our backs? Why haven't you come inside for so long!"

Li Xiangdong's face was stern, without a trace of a smile. "Li Jiabao, you'll be a year older after today!"

I'll tell you!

If you don't behave yourself and dare to do anything bad, I'll whip your ass raw with a thorny branch!

Li Jiabao instinctively covered his buttocks and took two steps back.

After Li Xiangdong entered the house, he pulled Li Guoqing, who was lagging behind, back to his side.

"Damn it, who upset my brother! Why is he taking his anger out on me?!"

Li Guoqing tapped his forehead, "Listen to me! It's all for your own good!"

Li Jiabao: ...

"Hey! Hey! Brother Guoqing, slow down!"

Did my brother find out that I blew up my second aunt's chicken coop with firecrackers...?

Huh? Could it be because of what I did to Sanya…?

I spent a sleepless night.

Most people were on night watch, but Li Xiangdong and his group were heartbroken.

Not wanting to spoil the festive mood of the elderly in the house, Li Xiangdong made an excuse that he needed to go out and play cards with Li Guoqing and the others.

Zhao Sufang added, "Just play at home! It's so spacious here! Why do you have to go to Guoqing's house and mess around like that!"
