Chapter 196 I think he is Ye Jingchi, but I also think he is not
Li Ying went to the small village to look for Yan Biao early in the morning because she felt that this person must be related to her elder brother's disappearance.
But he failed to find Yan Biao. When he came over, a child from Yan's family was gnawing on a bone and eating it with gusto.
Li Ying didn't want to disturb the peace, so she turned around and prepared to leave.
A sturdy old woman rushed into the yard with a stick as thick as an adult, cursing and shouting, "Well, it's okay for Yan to steal chickens and dogs, but he raised a bunch of little thieves. I'll teach you a lesson today!"
As he said this, he swung the stick in his hand and hit the kids.
At this time, Yan Biao's wife rushed out of the house and grabbed the old woman's stick.
"Auntie Cao, what's going on? Why did they start making noise as soon as we entered the yard?"
"What's going on? Don't you see how my daughter-in-law is in confinement? I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some pig's trotters and spareribs, but before she could even have a bite, they were all stolen by your bastards. Tell me, how do we solve this problem?"
Yan Biao's wife glanced at the children who were still licking their lips. Furious, she pulled the oldest child over and demanded, "Tell me, who stole the footnotes and spareribs?"
The child who was asked was so scared that he was shaking all over, stammering for a long time and couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"I asked you to speak, but you became mute?"
Yan Biao's wife was furious and raised her hand to hit her daughter on the cheek, causing the child to stagger and fall to the ground. Her little face suddenly became red and swollen, and she couldn't even cry, but kept shaking her shoulders.
Seeing this, the other children were frightened and looked at their mother in horror, not daring to speak.
Who said that the law does not punish everyone? They all stole the food, and it is impossible for the mother to only interrogate one child.
Yan Biao's wife was also angry. She grabbed another boy and asked, "Tell me, who stole the pig's feet and ribs?"
"Mom, we haven't eaten meat for a long time. We are craving for it." The son wiped his tears and spoke with a sob.
"Haven't you eaten meat for a long time? How noble are you that you still have the nerve to eat meat?" Yan Biao's wife said as she snatched the stick from the old woman's hand and smashed it on her head.
Several children cried loudly and shouted, and for a moment the whole yard was filled with crying.
"Okay, your child ate it secretly, and now he can spit it out? I don't care. Anyway, I exchanged the pig's feet for ten tickets, and your family has to compensate me with ten meat tickets!" The old woman was unreasonable.
"Aunt Cao, look at our situation. We can't even get one grain coupon, let alone ten meat coupons."
"Even if you can't get the ticket, you must have the money, right? I heard that your old Yan made a fortune outside, and he lost two hundred and thirty in one night. Then give me the money to pay it off." The old woman didn't seem unreasonable.
"Aunt Cao, Old Yan hasn't been home these days, where did he get the money?"
Yan Biao's wife pulled the beaten girl over and made her kneel down: "Kowtow to your Grandma Cao until she forgives you. Otherwise, I will beat you to death with a stick!"
After she did this, Aunt Cao had to stop pestering her, otherwise she would have risked a life.
"You old Yan family are all very shrewd people! Fine, it's unlucky for me to be your neighbors!"
Aunt Cao left angrily.
Li Ying listened for a while and heard from Aunt Cao that Yan Biao had gone gambling recently and lost more than 200 yuan.
Li Ying caught up with Aunt Cao.
"Auntie, please wait a moment."
Hearing someone calling, Aunt Cao stopped and looked back at Li Ying, as if she recognized her.
"Are you the relative who came to Old Yan's house yesterday? You just heard it too. The people in her family are such bastards."
Li Ying smiled, took out a few banknotes and some meat coupons from her pocket and stuffed them into Aunt Cao's pockets.
"Take this and buy some more delicious food with your daughter-in-law."
Aunt Cao took the money and meat tickets and smiled happily.
"You look like a cheerful person."
"Aunt Cao, I just want to ask, when did Yan Biao lose more than 200 yuan?"
Aunt Cao thought about it carefully and said, "Three days ago. He just loves to gamble. He would get together with a few idle people in the village and gamble all day long. I remember that day was at Zhang Qi's house. I went to his house to borrow a dustpan and heard them talking about Yan Biao's sudden wealth. At that time, I thought Yan Biao was bragging. But guess what, that night, someone saw Yan Biao being taken away by two people."
Yan Biao made a fortune, lost money, and was taken away again.
"Thank you, Aunt Cao. Can you tell me where Zhang Qi's family is?"
"Why are you looking for that scoundrel? Whatever you want to know, I, an old woman, can definitely find out for you."
"I want to know where Yan Biao is now?"
"Does he owe you money?"
"Um."
"I've always said Yan Biao is a piece of shit. He's had a bunch of kids at home and doesn't care about them. The youngest one is barely a month old, but he doesn't even bother to provide anything good for the family. He's just been having fun out there. Oh, and I remember him telling people he joined something where you could get a lot of money by providing information. I don't know if that's true or not."
Li Ying took out two more banknotes and stuffed them into Aunt Cao's pockets.
"Thank you. This information is very important to me. If you have any further news, feel free to come find me here."
Li Ying left her address to Aunt Cao.
"Don't worry, I will do it beautifully!"
When Li Ying went back, Jing Chi drove over to find her.
Jing Chi stopped the car and got out. He was very unhappy that Li Ying was traveling alone: "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
"Of course, I'm the one who investigates my eldest brother's affairs."
My second brother is too busy at work and can't get away. I can't let my father, at such an old age, come out to look for news about my eldest brother.
"Sometimes courage alone doesn't accomplish anything, but instead puts you in trouble. From what I know so far, your brother is still safe. The other party just doesn't want the machinery factory to fall into the hands of the Lu family."
Jing Chi did not shield the Jing family. "Right now, it seems that it is related to the Jing family, but I have limited people at my disposal, and there are some things I still cannot find out."
"Jing Chi, if Leng Yan did it, how would you deal with it?"
Li Ying asked.
Jing Chi said seriously, "I don't like Leng Yan. His methods are too sinister. But I can also tell you that he definitely didn't do this."
Li Ying was surprised.
This person's statement is simply contradictory.
"Leng Yan has always been selfish in his actions, but this incident is obviously not good for him. Your eldest brother is missing, and you can easily guess that it is him. He would not do such a stupid thing." Jing Chi analyzed the current situation objectively without any personal emotions.
This is totally unlike the unlearned Jing Chi, but more like Ye Jingchi.
"I really don't know if you are Jing Chi or Ye Jingchi now?"
