"I'm not the captain. I don't know why this medicine is under my pillow. It really wasn't me."
"Someone must have deliberately framed him," Li Liang said, his eyes red with anxiety.
If this drug is really attributed to him, then his life is over.
The captain said coldly, "The medicine has already been found under your pillow, and you're still trying to argue."
The other educated youth at the settlement also looked at him with strange eyes.
"He usually likes to steal small things, but I never expected him to actually drug someone and steal from them. And he stole 500 yuan worth of it. He's really something."
"Yes! He's always the most cunning one, always eyeing other people's meager treats. Every time I eat something sent from home, he eagerly comes over, but when he gets something good, we don't even get a drop of it."
I saw him steal Xie Zhiqing's underwear last time. Everyone looked at him with disdain.
"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. I'll hand this packet of powder over to the police for testing first thing tomorrow morning. It's getting late, so you should all go back and get some rest."
The next morning, the captain reported it directly to the police. Xie Feng had both witnesses and physical evidence, and the doctor had examined the drug; it was confirmed to have caused hallucinations in small amounts and prolonged unconsciousness.
Li Liang was arrested immediately, and he completely broke down.
He absolutely refused to leave. He insisted that if this wasn't his, someone had put it on his bed and was deliberately framing him. It must have been Xie Feng who framed him. But no matter what he said, he was eventually forcibly taken away by the police.
Of all these people, perhaps only Su believes that he didn't do it.
But Li Liang is indeed no good person, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten into trouble and no one in the know would have spoken up for him.
Su Li understood that this matter posed no threat to Xie Feng. He must have already planned ahead before even entering her house, so even now, with the matter reaching the police, he remained carefree and unperturbed.
Half a month has passed since the college entrance examination ended, but Xie Feng is still like a leech, sticking around her and causing her endless annoyance.
That day, after Su Li finished cutting pig feed, she planned to go to town to buy some things.
Su Li went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative because she could clearly sense that someone was following her. Without a doubt, it was Xie Feng.
It seems the person wasn't on her; she was still unwilling to give up after finding the jade pendant.
Su Li first bought some food and supplies at the supply and marketing cooperative. She thought that she hadn't been to the black market in a long time, so whether or not she made a transaction was secondary.
She was about to leave, and she wanted to ask Lushan again if there was any news about the person who had replaced the stone statue for him before. But Xie Feng was following her so closely now, she had to shake him off first.
Thinking of this, Su Li started walking towards a secluded corner. When he reached a corner, he stopped. Before Xie Feng could see who it was, Su Li kicked him in the stomach.
"Ah! Ah!..."
Xie Feng didn't expect her to pull this move, so he bent over, clutching his stomach.
Su Li, that kick was way too ruthless.
Seeing him bend down, Su Li quickly ran forward.
Now that he no longer had a little tail following him, he felt much better. He had been wanting to drag Xie Feng out and beat him up for the past few days, but he hadn't found the opportunity yet.
Su Li found a place to change her clothes and went directly to Lu Shan's house.
Lu Shan was overjoyed to see her again.
The grain has all been sold out recently, and the authorities have been urging them to sell it. Also, the apples and vegetables that Su Li sold before have run out at home.
He wanted to buy another batch, but Su Li never showed up.
He has also found out about the person who sells jadeite stones that Su Li asked him to inquire about before.
"Miss Shi, have you been very busy lately?"
Su Li knew what he meant by asking that question.
"I was indeed quite busy recently and didn't have time to come over."
"I came here today to ask if you could find the person who owned that jade stone? Does he still have any?"
Lu Shan laughed and said, "That person really did show up, and last time he came he brought an even bigger stone."
Upon hearing this, Su Li's eyes lit up with excitement: "Then can I take a look at that stone of yours first?"
Lu Shan nodded and carried the stone out of the room.
Su Li walked up to the stone and looked at it. The stone was still the same as before, with a skylight on it, and the inside was a bright green color, which made people feel happy just looking at it.
Su Li asked cautiously, "Mr. Lu, are you willing to part with this stone?"
Since Lu Shan had already taken it out, he had no intention of keeping it for himself. Judging from Su Li's expression, he seemed to like it very much. So he said, "Take it if you want, the price is the same as last time."
Su Li's face was full of joy. She looked at Boss Lu and said, "Thank you for parting with this stone. I really like it."
With this stone, her space can probably be upgraded again.
Su Li quickly took the money out of her pocket and handed it to Lu Shan, even giving him an extra fifty yuan.
"Mr. Lu, thank you so much this time."
Lu Shan laughed and said, "It's nothing. Last time you asked me to inquire about the stone seller, and I specifically asked him for his address when I met him this time."
"He only said that if you want to find him, you can leave a note at any Renhe Pharmacy looking for Shi Tou, and he will go there at the appointed time."
"Miss Shi, do you still have apples and vegetables? And grain? I'd like to order another batch."
To be honest, his family members have become a bit picky eaters, and they feel that the grain Su Li sells is completely different from the grain they used to buy from the supply and marketing cooperative.
