Chapter 101
101 A Major Case
The meal was quickly over. Luo Cheng first went to look at the ox cart to rest for a while before sending them to the town’s government office.
On the other hand, Li Xiaoran and her sister, Li Xiaoqing, cleaned the table together.
Zhao Xiu and Li Shun went to tidy up Luo Ziyang’s room together.
Actually, when Zhao Xiu and Li Shun were free, they would tidy up the rooms at home.
Now, they only needed to wipe the dust off, put on some bedding, and open the window to get some air.
Because Luo Ziyang was injured, he washed up with some hot water and prepared to lie down to rest.
After Luo Cheng finished preparing everything, he went into the house and spoke to Luo Ziyang before going to see Li Shun.
“Father-in-law, Ziyang is a brother who grew up with me. I’ve always treated him like a biological brother. In the future, Ziyang will live with us. I hope you can help me take good care of him. In addition, Ziyang is also a martial artist, so we can be at ease with Ziyang protecting you when Xiaoran and I aren’t at home!”
When Li Shun heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement.
“Since you’re my son-in-law’s brother, we’re family! Don’t worry, son-in-law, we’ll take good care of Ziyang!”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you and Mother-in-law! We’ll go to town today and definitely won’t be back until tomorrow, so don’t worry at home!” Luo Cheng said, “After Xiaoran and I leave, Father-in-law, we will have to rely on you to support the family!”
“Don’t worry, we’ll be fine at home!” Li Shun knew that Luo Cheng was entrusting everything at home to him, so he said this to rea.s.sure Luo Cheng.
After settling the matters at home, Luo Cheng called Luo Qingqing and Qin Meizhen.
The three of them led the nine people who had been tied up and drove the ox cart towards town.
Ma Zhao was also hungry, but he was still very down.
Even though they were about to be sent to the authorities, he still didn’t panic. Instead, he felt relieved.
However, he had still implicated his buddies who had been following him all these years!
At the moment, he could no longer do anything for his buddies.
Looking at the gorgeous sunset in the sky, Ma Zhao recalled the scene of him being saved by Ah-Nan and Aunt Cui dying.
Sun Wukong had been paying attention to Ma Zhao’s expression. His face was filled with worry.
Sun Wukong was the first to follow Ma Zhao, and he had grown up in the same village as Ma Zhao.
Therefore, among them, he was the only one who was familiar with Ma Zhao’s personality.
It was precisely because they were familiar with each other that Sun Wukong was very worried that Ma Zhao would take things too hard.
Lu An was also thinking about what he should do to escape today.
After thinking about it, Lu An couldn’t think of a foulproof solution. He could only stare at the wooden board on the ox cart with a gloomy expression.
Unfortunately, he was powerless now. Even if he thought of something, he didn’t have the strength to carry it out.
Qin Meizhen was also looking at the sunset.
“For the first time in my life, I think the sunset on the horizon is beautiful!”
When Li Xiaoran heard her words, she also looked at the sunset in the sky.
“There are many beautiful things in this world that you haven’t seen! If there’s a chance, I really want to take a look. When you go out and take a look, your heart will open up. You won’t be bound to one place and be ignorant of the world. The sky you see is only the size of a well!”
When Qin Meizhen heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she tilted her head and looked at her.
“You don’t seem like a peasant at all!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she also turned to look at Qin Meizhen. “Do you think I’m beautiful and kind-hearted?”
With that, Li Xiaoran even blinked at Qin Meizhen!
Hearing this, Qin Meizhen laughed out loud.
“You’re the most shameless person I’ve ever met!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Qin Meizhen’s words, she pretended to be sad.
“I thought someone noticed what was special about me and thought I looked pretty!”
Before Qin Meizhen could say anything, Luo Cheng, who was driving the ox cart in front, spoke.
“You are special in my eyes! I think you look pretty!”
As soon as he said this, Qin Meizhen immediately rolled her eyes.
“You two are really too much! Is there a need to be like this? Please pay attention to what you say. I’m still unmarried!”
Li Xiaoran was amused by Luo Cheng’s sweet words. She stared at his back and said happily, “Just ignore him! I wonder where he got his honey from today. He actually knows how to coax people today!”
Luo Cheng didn’t say anything when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words, but he smiled.
Actually, he wasn’t sweet-talking. He really thought so.
The more he interacted with Li Xiaoran, the more he realized how good she was.
Therefore, in his eyes, Li Xiaoran was naturally good-looking because she was very pleasing to the eye!
Of course, he wouldn’t say any of this out loud.
Just like that, facing the setting sun, an ox cart entered the town gate and walked towards the county office.
After finally settling the trivial matters in the county office, Luo Han planned to go back and rest.
However, just as he reached the entrance of the county office, he saw Luo Cheng appear in front of him with a group of people.
At this moment, Luo Han had a bad feeling!
“Why does my gut tell me that nothing good will come of your appearance here at this time?”
Luo Cheng smiled when he heard Luo Han’s words.
“You guessed right, but there’s no reward!”
With that, Luo Cheng jumped off the ox cart and tilted his head.
“The people in the car are all human traffickers. There’s a huge organization behind them. Today, they kidnapped a girl from a family in town and tried to intrude upon my house, so I caught them and sent them over!”
As soon as Luo Han heard that it was such a big case, the fatigue on his face was replaced by a solemn expression.
“Are you sure?”
“They said it themselves! There was also a woman called Aunt Cui. She was skilled in martial arts and was slightly inferior to me, so I stabbed her in a vital spot during the fight. She died! I brought this person over for you!” As he spoke, Luo Cheng pointed at the person in the cloth bag.
As soon as Luo Han heard what was going on, he immediately waved to the officers behind him and asked them to take these people to the big prison cell in the government office.
“Tell me what happened in my house!” Luo Han asked after he saw that everyone had been taken away, including the corpse.
Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, “How about this? Go and make the arrangements first! I still have to send this girl to a safe place. We’ll talk about the details when I get back!”
