At least at that time they still had a chance to make amends.
But in the end, they were blinded by the huge rewards ahead and chose to continue doing bad things against their conscience.
Now that I've been caught, although I'm scared, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. I don't have to live in fear every day anymore.
Fatty Ding and Zhang Shun were crying with tears and snot running down their faces, looking extremely regretful.
Uncle Gui couldn't help but shook his head, feeling infinite emotion in his heart.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place.
The policemen standing by listened without any emotion.
In fact, they have seen similar scenes too many times.
For many people, the first time they commit a crime, their sense of guilt and regret is the strongest.
If they are lucky enough not to be discovered, they will think that doing this not only makes money quickly, but also that as long as they are more careful, they may never be discovered.
So they will continue to take risks and break the law knowingly.
After being caught, they cried and said they knew they were wrong.
Is it only now that I realize I was wrong?
No.
They just think that confession can alleviate their guilt or gain the favor of others.
So never try to tread on the edge of the law, and don't think you can be a "lucky one" who escapes punishment by chance.
Law and justice may be delayed, but they will never be absent.
After investigating the matter, Xu Fei also interrogated Fatty Ding and Zhang Shun about the cross and the spell paper.
But they didn't know anything about it. Everything was given to them by their new friend, who then told them how to do it.
As for where the other party got all this from, they had no idea.
Without getting the answer, Xu Fei could only give up with regret.
Afterwards, the boss of Liu Yang Company received a call from the police and rushed over quickly.
Looking at the old employee whom he had once highly trusted, the boss felt very complicated, with anger, disappointment and other emotions constantly intertwined.
In the end, he put aside his emotions and chose to sue Fatty Ding and Zhang Shun in court.
What happened afterwards had nothing to do with Lin Xi. After she came out of the police station, she went to the residence arranged by Xu Fei to rest.
The next day, she started wandering around the neighborhood.
Now that you are here, it would be a shame not to take a look around.
As a result, while walking around the town, I actually met an acquaintance.
That person was none other than her roommate Ren Yao.
At this moment, she was squatting on a small bench on the roadside with an old man with half-white hair. There was a small stall in front of them, which sold various local souvenirs and handicrafts.
It is not difficult to see that Ren Yao is making money by setting up a stall.
Lin Xi took a quick look and then looked away, intending to continue walking forward.
She and Ren Yao had an average relationship, so there was no need to approach her to have a conversation.
But I didn't expect that Ren Yao would be able to hold her after seeing her.
"Lin Xi? Why are you here? Are you here for tourism?"
Ren Yao quickly stood up and walked towards Lin Xiqian.
Lin Xi was stunned by her and could only stop and respond simply.
"I came here for something, so I just wanted to take a look around."
Ren Yao seemed to be hesitant to speak and glanced at her father behind her.
At this moment, Ama was looking at her with smile and encouragement.
Ren Yao could only bite the bullet and whisper to Lin Xi: "Well, my father and I, that is, my grandmother, are setting up a stall. If you have anything you like, I can give it to you."
Lin Xi didn't expect that Ren Yao would stop him for this matter, and was stunned for a rare moment.
After all, she and Ren Yao were almost half strangers in school.
Except for the period when Ren Yao would secretly observe her from time to time when she first started school, there was no movement afterwards.
Lin Xi was too lazy to care about her anymore.
Seeing that Lin Xi didn't say anything, Ren Yao couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed and a little self-deprecating, and whispered.
"I know you won't take these seriously... My father knew you were my junior, so he sent me here to say hello."
Otherwise she wouldn't come.
Because she had long realized that she and Lin Xi were not human.
In fact, when she first entered school, the reason why Ren Yao paid special attention to Lin Xi was entirely because she accidentally saw Lin Xi's information when she went to the counselor's office to get information.
In her profile, the column for her father was also blank, just like hers!
At that moment, Ren Yao felt that Lin Xi and she should have had similar experiences and were the same type of people.
Both his father and his wife died, and his family was poor.
Moreover, it was Ren Yao's first time to go to Chongqing at that time. She had an innate fear of unfamiliar cities and wanted to make a friend quickly, so she thought that Lin Xi, who had a similar experience as her, would be the most suitable person.
After observing her for a few days, he found that although Lin Xi did not have a father, her life was better than his own. The most important thing was that he did not find any inferiority complex in her.
Her academic performance was not the best, and her living standards were not as good as those of the rich second-generations in school. However, the calmness and composure she exuded was more attractive than any external appearance.
That is the aura that comes from absolute confidence and ease.
If she hadn't read her information, Ren Yao wouldn't believe that she had no father.
After that, Ren Yao realized that she and Lin Xi were probably no longer friends who could understand each other, so she stopped secretly observing her.
When she was in school, Ren Yao cared about her reputation and never told anyone about her family situation. Now she felt a little embarrassed that Lin Xi caught her setting up a stall.
She felt a little regretful about why she subconsciously told her father that Lin Xi was her disciple.
Although Lin Xi didn't like Ren Yao's timid personality, he didn't really dislike her.
At this moment, hearing her movements expressing her intentions towards him, he thought about it and did not refuse.
"Thank you. I'll go take a look."
Ren Yao was stunned and looked up suddenly.
She actually agreed!
She thought she would dislike these things for not being high-end enough and being cheap!
After Lin Xi finished speaking, she came to the stall of the grandparents and grandchildren. Lin Xi didn't quite understand what Ren Yao's father said, but she could feel the warm smile on the other's face.
"Girl, I made this myself. Try it on and see for yourself!"
Ren Yao's father wove a bracelet out of colorful ropes and strung some ceramic beads on it. There were faint words engraved on the ceramic beads, which read "peace and joy".
The bracelet is beautifully woven and the color combination is very comfortable. It is really good looking.
Lin Xi took it and thanked the old man.
"Safety, this one guarantees safety."
Grandma smiled as she watched Lin Xi put on the bracelet. Looking at her granddaughter standing next to her, she couldn't help but say to Lin Xi, "Girl, you and Ren Yao are classmates, right? So when you're in school, help each other out. She's stubborn and doesn't talk much, so if she does something wrong, just tell her. Don't mind..."
The old man knows his granddaughter's personality very well.
Because of her family experiences since childhood, she does have major flaws in her character.
He is inferior, stubborn, and wants to save face. He can't speak well and has no tact.
No matter how many flaws she has, in the eyes of the old man, she is a filial and obedient granddaughter, the only relative she has in this world.
So she could only try her best to let her granddaughter live a better life.
She had nothing to treat her granddaughter's birthday present, so she could only give her the most beautiful bracelet she had made.
When Ren Yao heard her father say this, her face suddenly turned red.
"Ama!"
Then he started speaking something quickly in dialect, so fast that Lin Xi couldn't fully understand it.
The general idea was to ask her father not to say such things to Lin Xi.
While the grandfather and grandson were talking excitedly, Lin Xi put the money on the stall and left quietly.
When Ren Yao and Ama finished arguing, they found that Lin Xi was gone, and there was an extra hundred yuan on the stall.
She quickly realized that the money was given by Lin Xi.
Although Ren Yao was not short of money, she was always thinking about making money. But since the bracelet was said to be a gift for Lin Xi, she could not accept the money.
But when she caught up, she found that Lin Xi had disappeared.
Helpless, Ren Yao could only collect the money first and return it to her when school started.
She turned around and put the money into her father's money bag. But she didn't know if she was dazzled or what, but suddenly she saw that the money seemed to flash and emit a faint golden light?
She blinked and continued to stare, but didn't notice anything unusual.
Maybe it's my eyes that are blurry, or maybe the surrounding lights just shone over, creating some light and shadow or something.
…
As for Lin Xi, after leaving Ren Yao and the others' stall, he continued to walk around the town for a while, and still bought a lot of food. He ate until he was full before returning home.
As for the hundred yuan she gave to Ren Yao, there was indeed something on it. She had cast a protective spell on it, which was equivalent to an amulet.
Just now she noticed that there was a shadow on Grandma Ren Yao's forehead, and she thought something unexpected would happen.
The old man gave her the best gift at her stall. He was a warm and kind person, and it was her good fortune that he happened to meet her.
After arriving at the residence, Lin Xi told Xu Fei and the others that they would set out for Beijing early the next morning.
The Xu family and the special department's headquarters are both in Beijing. Lin Xi went there to visit and then decide whether to join the special department.
Eleven o'clock at night.
The streets of the town were still bustling with activity, and the number of tourists visiting the night market showed no sign of decreasing. However, Ren Yao and her father had already packed up their stall and were preparing to go home.
Their home is on the roadside not far from the town. The grandparents and grandchildren used to live on the mountain, but a mudslide later destroyed their home. With the help of the government, they finally had a home again.
Therefore, Ren Yao is full of gratitude and love for her hometown, both its people and things.
She also decided early on that after graduation she would return to her hometown and make it a better place!
Ren Yao packed all her things into the electric tricycle, and then made sure that her father was seated firmly before driving the electric tricycle towards home.
