“Huh?” Officer Jiang?
Lin Qingqiu was a bit confused. She had met Jiang Yang before when she went to the police station to overturn her case. She only remembered Jiang Yang had said he would help clear her name.
‘Better to meet him, then~’
Soon, Lin Qingqiu saw Jiang Yang, dressed in plain clothes, standing at the school gate.
“Hello, Officer Jiang!”
“Mm.”
Jiang Yang gave Lin Qingqiu a thoughtful glance and nodded silently.
“Miss Lin, there was a major case at the police station earlier, so I apologize…”
“It’s alright.”
“Last night, when I returned to the station, I re-investigated your parents’ car accident. I found several inconsistencies and many suspicious points. I’ve already summoned the driver responsible for the accident.”
Lin Qingqiu froze for a moment upon hearing Jiang Yang’s words, then showed a helpless smile, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, looking like a married woman.
“Thank you, Officer Jiang, but I don’t need it anymore. Sorry to trouble you~”
Jiang Yang narrowed his eyes slightly but didn’t seem surprised.
“Mm, but I will still continue the investigation.”
Just as he was about to say more, his phone rang.
“Mm, got it.”
After hanging up, Jiang Yang frowned and slowly spoke while staring at Lin Qingqiu.
“Lin Hua has just liquidated his shares in the Lin family and is preparing to flee.”
Lin Qingqiu was slightly moved upon hearing this.
“How could this be?”
Jiang Yang rubbed his chin, his brows tightly furrowed, “This isn’t normal. I’ll be leaving now.”
He could tell that this girl definitely knew something but wasn’t willing to tell him. Normally, Lin Hua wouldn’t suddenly plan to run.
Just as Jiang Yang was about to leave, Lin Qingqiu called out to him.
“Officer Jiang, could you stop investigating? I don’t want to know the truth anymore~”
Lin Qingqiu certainly couldn’t let him continue investigating. Otherwise… only Lin Hua would end up in prison at most! But she wanted more than that. She wanted these people’s families ruined and lives destroyed! You are reading on novelping.com, the official source.
Only Mo Cinian could achieve that.
Jiang Yang was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
Since he had already started investigating, he wouldn’t stop halfway. Besides, this involved lives. It wasn’t something he could just drop because of Lin Qingqiu’s request. He had to give the deceased some justice!
Watching Jiang Yang’s departing figure, Lin Qingqiu remained silent.
‘Thank you,’ she said silently in her heart.
A few days ago, she might have been satisfied if Lin Hua was imprisoned. But now… she only wanted them to suffer a fate worse than death!
…
Noon.
“Young Master, Lin Hua has already sold off his assets and booked a ticket to the United States.”
“To the US? Perfect. Inform Mo Shixiu to have someone ‘properly welcome’ these esteemed guests. We can’t let them die… a certain little client of mine wants them to wish they were dead!”
“A small-time officer seems to be investigating Lin Hua’s case too. He must have discovered something.”
“Officer?” Mo Cinian raised an eyebrow.
“It’s best not to have any conflict with him. If Lin Hua and the others manage to leave the country, good. If not… then prison it is. For a murder charge… a 10- to 20-year sentence shouldn’t be a problem.”
Mo Cinian had thick skin. He was already aboard Lin Qingqiu’s ship, whether it was third class or business class didn’t matter. What was important was that when he heard about the officer, his heart skipped a beat, feeling something was off. To be safe, he decided to stay low.
“Young Master, one more thing. You were right. Ye Chen has been bailed out.”
When Chen Jiu said this, there was a trace of reverence in his eyes as he looked at Mo Cinian.
“Who bailed him out?”
“The Fang family from the Magic City. It’s said that the old patriarch’s beloved granddaughter has an oral marriage agreement with Ye Chen~”
“……”
He really wanted to curse.
Where did all these families come from? In a small City A, they already had the four major families, and now a Fang family from the Magic City?
In reality, there weren’t so many chaotic families. In his previous life, as a moderately wealthy second-generation, he knew well—there simply weren’t that many flashy families. Even if they existed, they were huge clans with hundreds or thousands of members gathering to worship ancestors during holidays, full of petty comparisons but generally not doing too well. There weren’t massive inheritances to fight over. This chapter was taken from novelping.com without permission.
Nowadays, most wealthy people passed their wealth down singly, without the drama of aunts and uncles fighting over the inheritance.
Of course, there were a few long-standing prestigious families, but those were rare and usually inaccessible to ordinary people.
Family enterprises everywhere, and CEOs and directors were as common as stray dogs—this only happened in these ridiculous urban novels.
What really made Mo Cinian speechless was… because of his actions, it seemed the plot had changed.
Ye Chen, being a miraculous doctor from the mountains, having a marriage agreement wasn’t unreasonable. His old master was known for making connections everywhere.
Ye Chen must have gotten desperate and used his master’s connections, causing the plot to spiral unpredictably.
‘What a stitched-together mess!’
Mo Cinian complained inwardly.
“Where is Ye Chen now? Don’t tell me he ran to the Magic City?”
If Ye Chen went to the Magic City, would he have to chase him there?
“No, after Ye Chen was released, he was furious with the Lin family and kept shouting that they would pay the price.”
“So, he’s still in City A?”
“Yes, I’ve been monitoring his every move. As you said… this guy’s medical skills are formidable but also strange. Not long after he got out, within a single morning, three people with sudden illnesses collapsed right in front of him… he’s practically a walking disaster.”
Mo Cinian frowned slightly, “Did you let him show off?”
“No, no one dared to let him treat them. Before Ye Chen was released, I had already posted about how his illegal medical practice almost killed Lin Zhentian online… now Ye Chen’s pretty famous, but in a bad way. Many are calling him a charlatan.”
“As soon as Ye Chen tries to treat someone, my people hidden in the crowd expose him… he must be feeling miserable, unable to show off~”
“Mm~ nicely done!”
Mo Cinian nodded. No wonder he suddenly gained several thousand Collapse Points this afternoon. So, this was the reason.
Stopping Ye Chen from treating people earned Collapse Points, but not many.
To earn a massive amount of Collapse Points, he needed to make him truly miserable.
Currently, he had four Bad Luck Cards, a Gender-Swap Potion, and an Exploding Pill in his hands.
These were precious treasures he hadn’t even used for himself, just waiting to be Ye Chen’s welcome gift.
“Hehe~ let’s see how capable this miraculous doctor really is!”
