Chapter 97
97 Who’s More Honest?
When Aunt Cui heard Li Xiaoran’s words, her eyes glazed over and regret surged in her heart.
At this moment, she looked in Li Xiaoran’s direction and seemed to see her Ah Nan appear in front of her.
“Ah Nan, I’m sorry. I’m sorry! If I hadn’t quarreled with your father back then, I wouldn’t have abandoned you. Those people took advantage of this opportunity to s.n.a.t.c.h you away! I really regret it, but I couldn’t find you anymore! I’ve been looking for you all these years, but I couldn’t find you. It wasn’t easy for someone to provide clues about you, so I naturally didn’t let go!”
At this point, tears of regret appeared on Aunt Cui’s face.
“Yes, I’m guilty of a heinous crime. My hands are stained with blood. I know I was wrong! Ah-Nan! I’m sorry. I didn’t protect you well! In your next life, don’t be reincarnated into my stomach. Find a better family!”
With that, Aunt Cui reached out towards Ah-Nan.
The others saw Aunt Cui staring at a spot and then place her hand on it.
Just as everyone sensed that something was wrong, Aunt Cui suddenly smiled.
“Ah-Nan is here to pick me up!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Cui’s last bit of energy was exhausted. Her arms drooped, and then her eyes closed as she fell to the ground and stopped breathing.
At this moment, even Qin Meizhen, who had been abused by Aunt Cui, felt an indescribable sense of sadness when she saw a person die just like that!
“Despicable people are also pitiful!” Li Xiaoran only thought of this when she saw the dead Aunt Cui.
Ma Zhao’s eyes turned red after he watched Aunt Cui die.
If he had known that Aunt Cui was Ah-Nan biological mother, he would have taken good care of her like his own mother.
Unfortunately, it was impossible to know.
At this moment, Ma Zhao had mixed feelings.
When Luo Cheng saw this, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he looked at Ma Zhao and the others.
“Husband, what should we do with these people?” Li Xiaoran also saw this group of people and asked.
“Send them directly to the cops!” Luo Cheng handled it as usual.
In any case, with Luo Han around, he could handle these matters.
And from the looks of these people, it was probably not the first time they had done such a thing.
Perhaps Luo Han could catch some big fish through these people and get rid of disaster for the commoners.
Ma Zhao recovered from his goomy mood. When he heard Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran’s conversation, he thought for a moment and said, “Luo Cheng, let go of my other buddies! They were just following me. They don’t know anything else! I’m in charge of everything. I’m willing to cooperate with you and say everything! I just beg you to let my buddies off!”
“No! Didn’t we agree back then? We’ll share our blessings and difficulties together! We have to bear the responsibility for what we did together today!” Sun Wukong shouted in disapproval.
The others chimed in. Only one person said this on the surface but was scheming about something else.
Li Xiaoran felt a sense of disdain and jealousy. Following the source of this emotion, she saw a man with a mustache among the group of people caught in the net.
To be honest, Li Xiaoran admired the loyalty of this group of people.
However, this mustached man clearly didn’t have such loyalty. This kind of person happened to be the kind of person Li Xiaoran hated the most.
Li Xiaoran pulled Luo Cheng to the side and lowered her voice to tell him the emotions she sensed.
Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows and then looked at the group of people again. Finally, he nodded. “Don’t worry! I know what to do!”
With that, Luo Cheng went to find ropes and tied these people up one by one.
Suddenly, Luo Cheng thought of something and came to Li Xiaoran’s side.
“In your opinion, who in this group is more honest?”
Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng in surprise, not understanding what he meant.
“I still have some things to ask your group to see if they have any accomplices outside. Otherwise, if we leave and the accomplices come later, wouldn’t we be in trouble?” Luo Cheng explained.
When Li Xiaoran thought of this possibility, she immediately regretted it. Then, she carefully sensed the emotions of the group of people over there.
“Go find that thin person! The one who said that we should share our blessings and difficulties together! This person is very loyal and not so scheming!”
After Luo Cheng received the information he wanted, he gave Li Xiaoran a rea.s.suring look and turned around to bring Sun Wukong to the side.
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said to her family, “Father, Mother, Xiao Qing, it’s fine now. Go and prepare food first! My husband and I will send Miss Qin and this group of people to town later. Don’t wait for us to eat tonight!”
Li Shun and Zhao Xiu also knew that their daughter and son-in-law were going to do something serious, so they didn’t stop them.
Zhao Xiu thought for a moment and said, “Then I’ll put the food in the pot to warm it up for you. It’ll still be tasty when you come back!”
“Mother, there’s no need! Didn’t we have a lot of flour and dough at home previously? When the time comes, my husband and I will come back and cook some food ourselves! If it’s too late, we might not be able to rush back until tomorrow!” Li Xiaoran calculated the time and said.
Li Shun and Zhao Xiu knew that Luo Cheng had a place to stay in town, so they naturally didn’t say anything else.
“Alright, then be careful on the way! If it’s really dark, don’t be in a hurry to come back. It’s not safe to travel at night!” Li Shun thought for a moment and reminded them.
“Father, I understand! Don’t worry! On the other hand, when Father and Mother are at home, you have to be more vigilant. Don’t lock the door of the house where Big Yellow and the others are sleeping. With Big Yellow and the others around, we can rest a.s.sured!” Li Xiaoran was still a little worried and said.
“Yes, don’t worry! We know how to take care of ourselves!” Li Shun nodded.
After settling the matters at home, Li Xiaoran looked at Qin Meizhen.
“Miss Qin, please sit in the hall for a while and have a drink! My husband will send you back to town after dealing with those people!”
Qin Meizhen was no longer as arrogant and unreasonable as she was when she first met Li Xiaoran. At this moment, she looked at Li Xiaoran in embarra.s.sment and said apologetically, “I’m really sorry about last time! After experiencing this, I realized how ridiculous my life was in the past! If it weren’t for you, I don’t know what I would have experienced!”
“The past is in the past. I didn’t take it to heart! However, your personality was indeed bad in the past. For the sake of your future life, you should change!” Li Xiaoran added when she saw that Qin Meizhen was sincere.
