Chapter 77 Chapter 77 The Real Murderer
Qi Yu'an laughed self-deprecatingly. "My family is happy, and I live in a good environment. Even when I went to the countryside, my family wouldn't need anything from me. They even took care of everything for me. So I thought I only met good people, but that's not the case. They get along well with me mostly because I'm generous and they have something to gain from me. I used to mistakenly mistake this deliberate flattery for kindness. But now I understand that Qi Yu'an, apart from his background, is just an ordinary person. If I were just an ordinary educated youth, my life in the countryside would definitely not be as comfortable as it is now."
Jiang Xi moved her mouth but didn't know how to comfort him. This was the second time she saw Qi Yu'an so depressed. Qi Yu'an's beautiful eyebrows drooped, and he looked a little lonely in the night.
Qi Yu'an's appearance was completely different from the impression he gave to Jiang Xi at the beginning. At that time, Qi Yu'an was so bright and carefree, as if he was from another world. But the Qi Yu'an now no longer had the brightness and freedom he had back then.
Jiang Xi's heart moved strangely. Qi Yu'an didn't seem that far away from her, as if she could reach him with just a stretch of her hand.
After Qi Yu'an finished speaking, he seemed to realize something and felt a little embarrassed. "I was just talking to myself. You're the one who should be comforted, but I'm saying something disturbing. I'm sorry."
Jiang Xi shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I'm happy to hear you say this."
Jiang Xi thought silently, because of these, the three words Qi Yu'an became more real, so real that he didn't seem like someone from another world.
Qi Yu'an smiled at Jiang Xi and said, "Then let's go. I think the time is right. We should have a result tonight."
Jiang Xi nodded and followed Qi Yu'an to Zhao Xianglan's house.
Liu Zhiqiang was still squatting at the door of Zhao Xianglan's house. Seeing Qi Yu'an and Jiang Xi, he waved and said, "I heard some noise just now. Zhao Xianglan should be out soon."
"Jiang Xi, don't worry. Yu An and I will definitely help you find out the truth today! We will never let anyone bully you!"
Liu Zhiqiang's attitude towards Jiang Xi has changed a little. Jiang Xi is a man who makes Qi Yu'an feel inferior and secretly in love with him, but cannot be loved by him. As a relative of Qi Yu'an, he must promote this marriage.
Jiang Xi nodded at Liu Zhiqiang, and he and Qi Yuan squatted beside Liu Zhiqiang.
After a while, the door creaked open and Zhao Xianglan hunched over and sneaked out.
Jiang Xi and Qi Yu'an looked at each other, both holding their breath, until Zhao Xianglan took a few steps, and then the group followed Zhao Xianglan carefully.
Zhao Xianglan looked back from time to time as she walked, and her appearance aroused everyone's suspicion.
Liu Zhiqiang couldn't help but say, "She must have gone to find the person behind this. I want to see who is so vicious as to slander you like this."
Qi Yu'an's eyes also turned cold. No matter who she was, he would make her pay the price.
Several people followed Zhao Xianglan all the way to a rapeseed field.
Zhao Xianglan imitated a cat's meow a few times, and suddenly a man walked out from the side.
Everyone saw the face of the person who came in the moonlight. Liu Zhiqiang whispered, "Why is it her?"
Jiang Xi was a little surprised but then understood everything. It turned out to be her. Yes, she also had a motive. Her motive...
Jiang Xi couldn't help but look at Qi Yu'an next to him. Qi Yu'an's face turned pale after seeing who was coming. He quickly figured out the connection. It was all because of him. If it weren't for him, Jiang Xi wouldn't have gotten into such trouble.
Qi Yu'an's face lost all color. He didn't even dare to look at Jiang Xi. He was afraid of seeing Jiang Xi's reproachful eyes, which would make his already guilty heart feel even more guilty.
Jiang Xi noticed Qi Yu'an's uneasiness. Today, Qi Yu'an looked like a puppy drenched by rain, so sad and lost. Jiang Xi patted Qi Yu'an's shoulder to indicate that everything was fine.
Qi Yu'an looked back at Jiang Xi. There was a smile in Jiang Xi's calm eyes. Qi Yu'an's heart, which had been anxious just now, instantly dried up and he also smiled slightly.
The person who came to find Zhao Xianglan was Ye Guixiang. All of this was planned by her behind the scenes. She deliberately found someone to bully Jiang Xi, but when she failed, she found Zhao Xianglan to ruin Jiang Xi's reputation.
Ye Guixiang put a lot of effort into doing these things, but fortunately the results were good. Ye Guixiang recalled how Jiang Xi was scolded to the point of being speechless during the day, and recalled the villagers' discussion about Jiang Xi. Those vicious words were the best catalyst for Ye Guixiang, and made her extremely happy.
Zhao Xianglan stretched out her hand when she saw Ye Guixiang: "Where's the money? Didn't you say that as long as I ruin Jiang Xi's reputation, you would give me ten yuan? The job is done, so it's time to pay."
Ye Guixiang looked at Zhao Xianglan with disgust. This woman was vicious, petty, and incredibly stupid. If it weren't for her desire to get Jiang Xi, she wouldn't want to talk to such a person.
Ye Guixiang impatiently took out a bill and handed it to Zhao Xianglan. Zhao Xianglan was overjoyed, but when she saw the value carefully, her face turned pale: "Why is it five yuan? Didn't you want to give ten yuan?"
Ye Guixiang: "It's not over yet. Today is just the first time. You have to go every day from now on until Jiang Xi's bad reputation spreads and everyone knows about it."
Zhao Xianglan was unwilling: "You said you'd give me ten yuan once, but you have to pay more next time. If the money is less, I won't do it!"
Ye Guixiang glanced at Zhao Xianglan and said, "Don't you feel good when you scold me? Just enjoy this opportunity."
Zhao Xianglan was unhappy. Ye Guixiang had hit the nail on the head. She was right. It was a good deal for her as she could take revenge on that little bitch and make money at the same time.
The two of them made another plan, which was extremely vicious and aimed at destroying Jiang Xi.
Qi Yu'an couldn't bear it any longer, so he rushed out and held down Ye Guixiang and Zhao Xianglan.
Ye Guixiang was a little panicked when she saw Qi Yu'an suddenly appear, but then she saw Jiang Xi behind Qi Yu'an. Her eyes were full of resentment, but this resentment was quickly concealed. She whispered to Qi Yu'an, "Qi Yu'an, what's wrong with you? Let me go, you're holding me so hard that it hurts."
Qi Yu'an ignored Ye Guixiang's words. His face was cold and his tone was cold: "The two of you have teamed up to damage Jiang Xi's reputation and we caught you."
Liu Zhiqiang also grabbed Zhao Xianglan who was trying to escape: "You two vicious women! You can't escape from our grasp."
Qi Yu'an: "Let's take them to the Public Security Bureau. These two are guilty of heinous crimes and will definitely go to jail."
Zhao Xianglan was so frightened that her legs were shaking like chaff. "It's not that I didn't have it. You misunderstood."
Qi Yu'an didn't give her a chance to speak: "Let's go to the Public Security Bureau!"
Zhao Xianglan's head was buzzing. She thought no one had noticed, but she was caught red-handed. "I was forced to do this. It was her, Ye Guixiang, who forced me to do this. I know nothing. Don't take me to the Public Security Bureau. Don't take me there. I beg you!"
What kind of place is the Public Security Bureau? If you go there, you will be beaten. Even if you don't get beaten, how can you live your life after being caught in the Public Security Bureau?
Zhao Xianglan screamed at the top of her lungs, "I won't go to the Public Security Bureau. I won't go. Please, let me go. I can't go to the Public Security Bureau. If I go there, I'll be dead. My reputation will be ruined. They'll definitely poke me in the back. I'll be drowned in spit."
Zhao Xianglan trembled and begged for mercy: "Don't send me."
Qi Yu'an sneered: "You are afraid now, but why weren't you afraid when you slandered Jiang Xi? Why weren't you afraid when you ruined Jiang Xi's reputation? Now that it's your turn, you are afraid, but this is retribution. You deserve to know what it feels like to be afraid. Isn't it just right that you can't survive?"
Qi Yu'an's voice was neither hurried nor slow, and extremely clear, like a devil's whisper, and everyone who heard it changed their expression.
Zhao Xianglan was shaking even more violently, while Liu Zhiqiang was worried. Why did Qi Yu'an go crazy again today? As expected, whenever something happened to Jiang Xi, Qi Yu'an would become abnormal.
Jiang Xi was surprised. She didn't expect these words to come out of Qi Yu'an's mouth.
Ye Guixiang stared straight at Qi Yu'an's face, then looked at Jiang Xi, with undisguised malice in her eyes.
Zhao Xianglan was extremely scared. She struggled desperately and fell on her butt, but she didn't care about the pain and just crawled forward. Liu Zhiqiang hit her neck, and Zhao Xianglan rolled her eyes and fainted.
Liu Zhiqiang was dumbfounded. How could this vicious woman be so weak against beatings?
Qi Yu'an had a blank expression on his face: "Carry her to the police station."
Liu Zhiqiang...
The instigator, Ye Guixiang, struggled a few times at first, but when she realized she couldn't do anything, she calmed down.
She looked at Qi Yu'an's face, with some obsession and some complaints: "You're scratching me and it hurts, can you be gentler?"
The intimacy in the voice was disgusting, and Qi Yu'an let go of her hand with a cold look: "Ye Guixiang, why did you do this?"
Ye Guixiang brushed the dust off her clothes, glanced at Jiang Xi, then looked back at Qi Yu'an: "Do you remember? This is the second time you've held me back."
Qi Yu'an frowned and did not respond.
Qi Yu'an ignored him and continued to talk to himself: "Do you remember the first time we met? Everyone else rushed to get on the oxcart, and the space on the oxcart was packed with people. I couldn't get on, so you pulled me up. In all these years, no one has taken the initiative to help me, but you were the first. Later, you helped me so much. Comrade Qi, you were so good to me before."
Ye Guixiang's eyes were blurry, lost in memories: "Comrade Qi, do you know what all this means to me? My family treated me like trash, like I was superfluous. They didn't give me food to eat, scolded me all day long, and even sent me to the countryside because my brother didn't want to. When I went to the countryside, they didn't even want to give me a good bed. I was starving, but you, Yu'an, gave me two biscuits. What delicious biscuits they were. They were the most delicious things I have ever eaten in my life. You were so good to me, but why did you change?"
