Chapter 47

A Trap Set Specifically for Him

Liu’s mother grew more concerned: “Although five yuan is very tempting, I still think nothing is more important than life. How about we just forget it?”

Liu Yi looked serious: “That can’t happen. Once I promise something, I can’t go back on it. If I did, how could I save face?”

Liu’s mother frowned, “So face is more important than life?”

Without hesitation, Liu Yi replied, “Of course, face is more important.”

Liu’s mother was so angry she kicked him: “If face is so important, why are you still a good-for-nothing?”

Liu Yi dodged his mother’s attack, brushed his hair back in what he thought was a cool gesture: “Being a good-for-nothing isn’t something just anyone can do. Someone like me, handsome, tall, and smart, is worthy of such a title.”

Liu’s mother almost died from shock. Her lips twitched uncontrollably: “Get out, get out, and stay as far away from me as possible!”

Liu Yi laughed: “Mom, I’m leaving. Don’t miss me too much, and remember to bring me food every day.”

Liu’s mother: “……”

Liu Yi hurried back home to grab two sets of clean clothes and rushed over to the Wang family: “Liu police officer, I’m not late, am I?”

Liu Kui shook his head: “No, I’m heading back to the station. You keep an eye on him.”

Liu Yi nodded: “Okay.”

The silly Wang Bo watched Liu Kui leave, a fleeting glint flashing in his eyes. But the next moment, he reverted to his usual mentally unstable behavior.

“Eat, eat…”

Liu Yi walked over and pinched his chin: “Stay put.”

Wang Bo, seemingly unaware of the pain, gave Liu Yi a silly grin: “Hehe, fun, fun, I want to play.”

Liu Yi tried to detect any clue from his face, but found nothing.

However, Liu Yi trusted his instincts. This bastard must have committed a crime and was pretending to be insane to avoid jail time.

He chuckled to himself. As long as he was here, he wouldn’t let this bastard succeed.

Xiao Jia Jia from Shifeng Village found out that Wang Bo had been sent back home and was in a bad mood.

[Guagua, he’s faking it, right?]

[Host is so smart, always guessing right.]

Xiao Jia Jia thought Wang Bo was truly ruthless—willing to endure anything, even eating shit, just to avoid jail.

[How can we expose him?]

Guagua, being just a spectator system, was unable to help with anything requiring thought.

[Host, you’re so capable, I’m sure you’ll come up with a plan.]

Xiao Lao Tai heard the thought and a cold glint crossed her eyes. There was no way he could escape the law.

One afternoon, Xiao Jia Jia and Xiao Lao Tai both took time off.

Meanwhile, Xiao Lao Tai had already formulated a plan.

Both of them secretly went to the same place.

When Xiao Jia Jia saw Xiao Lao Tai, she was surprised: “Grandma, what are you doing here?”

Xiao Lao Tai wore the same surprised expression: “I was going to ask you that.”

At this point, Xiao Jia Jia couldn’t continue hiding it: “I have a feeling Wang Bo is faking it, so I wanted to find an opportunity to test him.”

Xiao Lao Tai asked: “How are you planning to test him?”

Xiao Jia Jia thought for a moment, leaned close to her grandma’s ear, and whispered something.

Xiao Lao Tai’s face showed astonishment after hearing it: “Your idea is exactly the same as mine.”

Xiao Jia Jia froze: “Is it really that coincidental? But it’s better to discuss it with that person named Liu Yi first.”

Xiao Lao Tai: “I’ll leave it to you.”

Xiao Jia Jia walked around the village and found that Liu Yi rarely came out of the firewood room.

She had a child call for him.

“Yi Ge, Yi Ge, someone’s looking for you.”

Liu Yi glanced at the snoring Wang Bo before going outside.

Just as he turned around, Wang Bo, who had been snoring loudly, opened his eyes and stared at his retreating back, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Liu Yi stepped outside and stared at Xiao Jia Jia blankly: “Comrade, do I know you?”

The firewood room was nearby, and Xiao Jia Jia was worried that Wang Bo would recognize her voice.

She pulled the person aside and whispered, “My name is Xu Jiajia. Wang Bo set fire to kill people, and it’s my family involved. I suspect Wang Bo is faking it…”

Xu Jiajia spoke rapidly, saying a lot in one breath.

After hearing her, Liu Yi felt like he had found an ally. He slapped his thigh forcefully: “I also suspect he’s faking it. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely cooperate with you.”

Xu Jiajia made an appointment with Liu Yi and then went to find Xu Laotai: “Grandma, everything is arranged. We’ll act tonight.”

Late at night, everything was quiet and dark.

Everyone was deep in sleep.

Suddenly, a burst of firelight appeared outside.

A panicked voice rang out in the air: “Ah, fire! Fire! Hurry, run!”

The fire had started, and escaping was the priority.

Liu Yi knew it was fake, but seeing the red light outside, he didn’t dare to take any chances.

He couldn’t worry about Wang Bo; he rushed out without even putting on his clothes.

As he ran out, Wang Bo opened his eyes behind him. With the fastest speed, he also rushed out.

Once outside, Liu Yi realized there was no real fire.

It was a trap set specifically for him.

The goal was to test whether he was really stupid or pretending to be.

If he were truly stupid, he would think it was fun even if the fire burned him.

If he were faking it, he would just want to save himself when seeing the fire.

Xu Jiajia turned on a flashlight and shone it on Wang Bo. She gave a cold smile: “Pretty smart, you knew to use this trick to escape the law.

Too bad, you’ve been exposed.”

Wang Bo threw a punch at Xu Jiajia.

She dodged the punch and kicked his thigh immediately.

Liu Yi also added an attack.

Wang Bo was alone—he was no match for them.

Before the fight even started, he had already lost.

Xu Jiajia told Xu Laotai to stay where she was while she and Liu Yi took Wang Bo to the police station.

Liu Kui was on duty that day. When he saw Xu Jiajia, he was surprised: “Who is this?”

Xu Jiajia pointed at Wang Bo: “He was faking it. A big fire exposed his trick.”

Although Xu Jiajia only said a few words, Liu Kui immediately understood. He regretted not thinking of this method himself: “Only in the face of death will a person reveal their true nature. You’re smart, you came up with this idea.”

Xu Jiajia credited the idea to Xu Laotai: “It was my grandma’s idea.”

Wang Bo overheard their conversation, his eyes filled with murderous rage: “Bitch, bitch, I won’t let you off!”

Liu Yi slapped him: “Shut up, you big man, calling people bitch, aren’t you ashamed of your own manhood?”

Liu Yi’s slap made Wang Bo’s mouth bleed.

Wang Bo’s hatred surged like a raging river: “Liu Yi, you bastard, I won’t spare you!”

Liu Yi sneered: “You’re about to die and still don’t realize the situation!”

This time, there was evidence.

Even if Wang Bo wasn’t executed, he would spend several years in prison.

The next morning.

Xu Jianguo was very angry when he saw the two at the door: “You’ve grown some guts, coming home late last night.”

Xu Jiajia walked over, linking her arm with his, and gently shook it: “Dad, you had to work, you couldn’t come with us. Otherwise, we would’ve taken you along.”

Xu Jianguo laughed angrily: “Do you think I’m mad because of that?”

Xu Jiajia blinked: “Then what’s the reason?”

Xu Jianguo put on a stern face and poked her head: “Of course I’m worried about you both. You didn’t even tell Liu Aunt clearly before leaving.”

Xu Jiajia stuck out her tongue: “Sorry, Dad. Next time, I’ll make sure to be more careful.”

Xu Jianguo gave her a sharp look: “Next time?”

Xu Jiajia quickly corrected herself: “There won’t be a next time, absolutely no next time.”

Xu Laotai, witnessing this, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Xu Jianguo shot her a sharp glance.

Xu Laotai immediately stopped laughing.

Xu Jianguo: “……”

After breakfast.

Xu Jiajia was about to go to sleep when Chen Ji suddenly burst in: “Sis, sis, big news, something you definitely won’t expect!”
