Li Guifang wanted to argue with her, but since this was the capital city, and due to an inexplicable sense of oppression, Li Guifang followed Xia Yixin into the emergency exit.
"Tell me, what is the meaning of your long journey here?"
“This time, my Da Bao got into a fight for you, you slut, and even got a head injury. It’ll cost at least 100,000 yuan, or this isn’t over! And this house of yours must be transferred to my name. Anyway, you’ll be our Li family’s daughter-in-law sooner or later. You piece of trash, don’t expect anyone to want you back in the village. If you don’t give it to me right now, I’ll expose you!” Li Guifen was using the same threats as before, which always worked.
Sure enough, it worked this time too.
However, this time, she was destined to be disappointed.
Xia Yixin laughed in anger, "What does your son's fight have to do with me? Does that mean I have to take responsibility for the fight I got into because of me?"
"You little bitch, don't push your luck! You've been eating and drinking at our house since you were three years old, and we paid for your schooling. You owe us!"
Li Guifen used the theory of the weak.
People tend to believe the one who seems weaker.
Li Guifen thought the other party would be afraid, but to her surprise, the other party's smile became even colder, and she felt a chill run down her spine.
"Fine, if you want to calculate it, then let's do the math. From age three to thirteen, I ate at your house. Every day, you would only give me a bowl of rice porridge when I sat down at the table. If I hadn't been eating at the homes of many families, I would have starved to death long ago. But now you live in my house and farm our land. You also took at least 50,000 yuan of my mother's gold and silver jewelry and my father's cash that he kept at home. Even if we don't count those for now, since I left home at age thirteen, you've taken at least 300,000 yuan from me every year under various pretexts. Considering the current prices, that's more than enough."
"You!" Li Guifang retorted, "You still ate our family's food. Our family didn't look down on you because you're a jinx. Don't think I won't expose you. I'll call the TV station and say you don't support your parents. Let's see who they believe!"
"Expose them, and it would be best to expose all the dirty deals you've been doing." The coldness in Xia Yixin's phoenix eyes sent a chill down Li Guifang's spine.
Xia Yixin was actually doing it on purpose; her reaction proved that there was indeed a problem!
Li Guifang keenly sensed the danger and turned to run, but after only a few steps, she was pinned to the ground by a man in black who suddenly appeared.
It was Lu Yan who left behind bodyguards to protect her.
There were seven people in total, all of whom were mercenaries, and the leader was called Bai Wu.
"Young Madam, what should we do?"
Xia Yixin pondered for a moment, "Before calling the police, I have a few questions I want to ask her."
Li Guifen had never seen anything like this before. She never dreamed that the lowly girl who was nothing in her eyes could have such great abilities.
Bai Wu and the others were all professionals, and Li Guifang was already terrified. In order to protect herself, she told them everything about the three Li families.
Just as the private investigators had discovered, the village had gradually become empty over the past few years, and the land was no longer able to grow anything.
Therefore, the three Li families, led by Li Fugui, wanted to start some special businesses.
Because of the deep-rooted preference for sons over daughters, the nearby villages are mostly populated by older unmarried men, and in their minds, "having no offspring is the greatest misfortune." So Li Fugui began to think about "special deals."
Led by his son, who works in the county town, they lured some volunteer teachers or runaway girls to the village, and then sold them to earn high "gift money".
"...They said my husband died, and that I, as a woman, wouldn't allow me to make money with them. All I know is that they've done this kind of business more than ten times. Several girls couldn't stand it and committed suicide, and they buried their bodies. A week ago, Li Fugui's son just lured three girls back from the county town, saying he'd make his move in the next few days. That's all I know... Oh, and what about the Xia family couple? They did that too! But they won't let me know what happened, but they did all of this, and it has nothing to do with me!"
Xia Yixin frowned upon hearing this. Didn't the original owner's parents die in an accident?
At that moment, she heard the system notification in her mind: "Ding, congratulations to the host for activating the instance and uncovering the truth about the original owner's parents' death. You have 3 days to complete the task. Success will earn you 1000 points, but failure is not an option. Do you accept this?"
Xia Yixin thought about it and accepted the task. No matter what, she had to find out the truth before the police arrived, otherwise they might not confess to the case from fifteen years ago, even if they were interrogated.
She couldn't let the original owner's parents die without knowing the truth.
Bai Wu turned off the recording device with a dark expression, then made Li Guifang put her fingerprint and signature on the confession, which would become the primary evidence for the later prosecution.
Xia Yixin made a decision: "Bai Wu, call the police first." This was not something she could handle on her own.
After Bai Wu anonymously reported the incident to the police, he returned and asked, "Young Madam, should we tell Ninth Master about this?"
Judging by the time, Lu Yan should be back in the next day or two.
"I'll talk to him myself, you guys go take care of your business first." She thought sending a WeChat message would suffice.
Under the cover of night, Bai Wu, along with three others, took Li Guifen and left, anonymously reporting her.
Due to procedural requirements and the time needed for investigation, it will take at least some time.
According to Li Guifen's confession, the girls who were to be sold were to be sold in three days, in addition to the time-limited task.
After much consideration, she decided to go back in person, especially to find out exactly how the original owner's parents died.
Xia Yixin left a message for Lu Yan first, and then the next day she told Bai Wu and the others that she was going to study in the house and asked them to protect her from a distance. That night, she quietly left the apartment under the cover of darkness.
Using public transportation, after a night and a day, she finally returned to the vicinity of the original owner's hometown, thousands of kilometers away. Once she entered the vicinity of the mountain village, she was able to use her light-footed skills.
Night gradually fell.
Yongning Village is a small mountain village surrounded by mountains. There is only one road in and out of the mountains, and it takes more than an hour to get to the nearest county town.
Now, nine out of ten houses are empty, making it resemble a ghost town. The most common surname in the village is Li.
The head of the large family, Li Fugui, was secretly meeting with a widow in the next village. The two were discussing their plans to make a fortune, and for some reason, they were both in a daze tonight, as if they had been drinking, and they wanted to say everything on their minds.
"I hope nothing goes wrong with Li Guifen on her trip to the capital; she has such a sharp tongue," the young widow said worriedly.
"Don't worry about that. She doesn't know much, and besides, we'll be able to make our move soon."
Li Fugui is very proud. His son, who attends a technical school in the county town, is very eloquent. He has handled more than a dozen "deals" and earned more than a million yuan.
"Then you'd better buy him a gold ring, one bigger than the one your tigress has," the young widow said coquettishly, only satisfied after receiving his agreement.
Li Fugui readily agreed.
The young widow was still a little uneasy; she had been messing around with Li Fugui for over a decade.
"You said that Xia Yixin, that little bitch, has become famous, could it be..."
