"It's none of your business. Don't worry. Have you counted the items in the store?"
"I've checked everything, and there's nothing there."
When this happened, Qi Qiang immediately took a leave to accompany Jiang Li to report the case. The police asked the neighbors everywhere, but they all said that they had not seen the paint splashed, so there was no clue for a while.
The store is in such a mess, it's definitely not going to open like this.
Jiang Li simply closed the store for a day, hired a craftsman to do the renovation, and repainted the door. She also told the neighbors and offered a large reward for witnesses.
"Nothing in the store was stolen. I don't think this person came here to steal anything. This is pure revenge."
Jiang Li thought about the people who had made enemies with her during this period of time. Sun Wanlian was one, Du Ling and Zhou Hui, mother and daughter, who else? She thought for a while.
Qi Qiang asked around the places selling decoration materials nearby to see if anyone had bought red paint and was acting furtively.
After much effort, on the third day of asking, a neighbor finally said that he saw a drunk man in the early morning. He was not very tall, about 1.7 meters tall, wearing white clothes and his face was covered tightly.
"I went to the bathroom this morning, half-groggily, and ran into this. I thought I saw a ghost!"
The neighbor originally wanted to take care of this trivial matter, but he was really reluctant to pay twenty yuan. Who would be willing to get a month's salary just for saying a few words?
Jiang Li paid the money as agreed, and Qi Qiang also asked something, "The owner said that a man in white clothes came to buy paint before, and I saw his face. There was a mole between his eyebrows, and he lived nearby."
Qi Xiaoqiang brought several brothers from the security department to arrest him on the spot, and also found a paint can with some paint left and a full bottle of gasoline in his home.
Before being handed over to the police, they were beaten up first, specifically in places that were easy to see.
The police interrogated her for a while, and she uttered a name, "Du Ling."
Jiang Li went to Uncle Xu's house and learned that Du Ling was living in Xu's house. She went directly to where Du Ling lived now.
Du Ling, who had finally let out a breath of rage, was drinking tea with a few classmates at home. She was talking and laughing, and the people around her knew her family background, so they all praised her in their words.
"Lingling, your family really loves you. The house near this school is so expensive, they just bought it."
Du Ling looked very disdainful, "That's nothing, my family will give me whatever I want."
"Hello, Lingling, why are you eating at Dongtou recently? You used to eat the food cooked by the nanny at home. Do you think Dongtou's food is clean?"
Du Ling is feeling quite content as she doesn't have a nanny to take care of her life recently.
But this matter was brought up by this long-eyed henchman, who was so angry that he slammed the teacup on the table and said, "I just want to change my taste. Is it your turn to interfere?"
The girl who was scolded was also a little bit happy, her eyes were red, but Du Ling's family background was good, her father asked her to have a good relationship with her, so she could not bear the injustice and force a smile to pretend that nothing happened.
The carved white wooden door was kicked open, shocking the girls. As the door collapsed to the ground, Jiang Li slowly came out from behind it.
As soon as Du Ling saw her, she was filled with new hatred and old resentment, "Jiang Li, you bitch, how dare you come to my house and act wildly."
Jiang Li sneered, opened the bottle of pungent red paint in her hand, and splashed it all over Du Ling.
Submerged in the suffocating paint, Du Ling let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Jiang Li splashed the remaining paint all over the house, then threw the empty paint bucket at Du Ling's feet, "You gave it to me, and now I'm giving it back to you."
"What did you say? I understand!" Du Ling stamped her feet, and her hand, which was pointing at Jiang Li's nose, shook violently. "If you dare to do this to me, my mother will let you go. I will report to the police."
"Humph, I'm afraid you don't dare. You hired killers to set fire to the place!"
After hearing this, Du Ling shuddered. She hadn't expected that this was done so secretly that Jiang Li actually discovered it.
The stinging pain all over her body left her no time to care. She scolded the girls standing there in a daze, "Are you guys dying? Call the hospital and ask them to send an ambulance!"
Jiang Li stood next to the phone, knocking over everyone one by one, "Let's see who dares to hit me!"
The situation was at a stalemate when Xu Haicheng, who had sensed that his opponent had been following them, rushed in. Seeing Du Ling's expression, he was so angry that he reached out to hit Jiang Li, but was violently held back by a strong arm.
Qi Qiang smiled, "Uncle Xu, please respect yourself!"
"You, both of you! She is cruel and ruthless, and you actually helped her to do evil! Throwing paint on her? Is this something a normal girl would do?"
Jiang Li, how angry would your mother be if she knew you had become like this? "
"Uncle Xu, my wife has always been kind and friendly. If Du Ling took action first, she will suffer retribution.
Please discipline your stepdaughter and don't leave your Xu family's daughter on the street. You can pick her up when the time comes."
Xu Haicheng was a little surprised. "What do you mean Du Ling started it first? Lingling, what did you do?"
Du Ling shook her head vigorously, "I didn't..."
Seeing her like that, Xu Haicheng yelled, "Tell the truth!"
Du Ling trembled with fear. "She ruined my face. I'm going to teach her a lesson. What did I do wrong?"
"A small lesson for you. You hired someone to throw paint at the door of my store and then tried to set it on fire.
If I am caught by a thief, my employees and goods in the store will be burned to ashes. You are telling me this little lesson? "
"You are a murderer for money!"
"I!"
"Don't explain. I want to hear it too. If you have anything to say, go tell the police."
Jiang Li felt a little tired. Now that she was pregnant, she was no longer as energetic as before, and she didn't have as much energy in a fight as before.
"Jiang Li, this is a family matter, why did you go to the police? Do you want to make the Xu family lose face?"
Qi Qiang saw his wife's fatigue and stepped forward to support Jiang Li. "It's shameful to hire a murderer and set the fire, but it's shameful to reveal the truth!"
"Well said!"
A clear female voice came from the door, and Peilan walked in, followed by several police officers.
"Excuse me, the murderer who killed my granddaughter is her. Please make sure to bring her to justice."
The police held Du Ling down without mercy. Du Ling stopped struggling, "Dad, save me, please save me. My mom saved your life before!"
Xu Haicheng thought of what happened in the past and subconsciously begged for mercy, but Peilan coldly rejected him, "If you still protect this cruel beast, then get out of our Xu family from now on."
