Chapter 66 Playing Tricks on Su Hang, Killing Two Birds with One Stone
"I'm telling you, Liu Nian, my daughter can't have died in vain!" Shen Juan wiped away her tears and stole a glance at Liu Nian. "I... I'm going to call the police!"
"Weren't you just asking me for money?" Liu Nian stepped out the door. "How much are you planning to ask for?"
Liu Nian pretended to be scared, trembling as she clutched Su Xu's sleeve. "Although I didn't kill him, it won't be good for me if things get out of hand, Auntie, what do you think?"
These words immediately brought joy to Shen Juan and Liu Dongliang. Shen Juan wiped away her tears, jumped up from the ground, and glanced at Liu Dongliang.
Liu Dongliang immediately replied, "It's not much, just 30% of your factory's shares will do."
Their smug expressions completely masked any trace of sadness; they figured Liu Nian was scared! Overwhelmed by the joy of their impending rise to power, they cared nothing more, spouting whatever came to mind—
"That's right! If you don't give it to us, we won't let you off the hook!" Shen Juan threatened. "Hmph, you won't have a good time unless you please me!"
Liu Nian suddenly smiled; this was exactly what Shen Juan had been waiting for!
The villagers were uneducated and ignorant of the law, but Liu Nian was not.
They watched as Liu Nian's previous fear vanished, her gaze turned indifferent, and she looked at them with a cold expression.
“Now it’s my turn to call the police.” Liu Nian crossed her arms and took a step forward. “Your slander, intimidation, and extortion against me have violated the law.”
"Moreover, so many people are witnesses." Liu Nian looked at everyone. "Did you all hear clearly what Shen Juan and her son said just now?"
Everyone nodded, and Li Aichun stepped forward. "Sister Nian, I'll be your witness! My hearing is excellent; I heard every single word they said clearly!"
"What extortion? People these days don't understand that," Liu Dongliang scoffed.
"Let's go! Shall we go to the county now? Who's afraid of who?" Liu Dongliang shouted, glancing sideways at Liu Nian, but his feet didn't move.
Unwilling to accept not getting the money, he continued to act tough, intending to threaten him again.
"Liu Xiangxiang is dead, and all you're thinking about is money?" Li Aichun scoffed. "Are you even human?"
"Trying to use her own child's death as a stepping stone? Oh dear, Liu Xiangxiang probably won't have a peaceful life even underground!"
They're trying to use the money from selling their daughter to fund their son! They've even sucked the blood of the dead! Once Shen Juan and Liu Dongliang's intentions are exposed, everyone in Jiangjuntun despises them.
"How can any family be so heartless? Doesn't their daughter's life matter? If Liu Xiangxiang was really killed by Liu Nian, are they planning to settle it with money? Isn't that the same as committing a crime?"
Liu Nian intended to expose Shen Juan and Liu Dongliang's intentions to everyone, so when the police arrived, the villagers presented their evidence one after another, speaking with gritted teeth.
The police officer was surrounded by villagers, who kept asking him questions. He suddenly felt a headache coming on, so he quickly took a few people to the village committee to ask them some simple, routine questions.
Despite her ignorance of the law, Shen Juan stubbornly continued to shout, "What's wrong? I already said it, so what? What extortion? I didn't extort you!"
The police officer sighed helplessly, "Auntie, if you don't understand the law, don't say anything. If you say a few more words, you'll stay in there even longer."
Shen Juan stared blankly at the police officer. She was inside, what inside? Shen Juan and Liu Dongliang exchanged a glance, their hearts starting to race. How could saying a few words be a crime?
However, Liu Xiangxiang's blood-written words on the wall were clearly visible, and Liu Nian couldn't escape responsibility no matter how she looked at it.
In the end, she still had to defer to their whims! If they demanded severe punishment, Liu Nian would have to be executed! Thinking this way, Shen Juan became emboldened again, looked at Liu Nian, and snorted.
"Comrade Liu, we'll have to trouble you to cooperate with our investigation." The police officer smiled politely at Liu Nian.
Someone from above has already given the order: we must not let Comrade Liu suffer any injustice. Although he thinks Liu Nian is just a village woman, it's always better to be careful.
Liu Nian nodded and said, "Okay."
"We'll see. I want to see how you clear yourself of any wrongdoing." Shen Juan patted her clothes, not even glancing at Liu Nian, looking completely confident.
"Oh, right, I have a witness." Liu Nian smiled slightly. "I'm sorry to disappoint you."
