Chapter 43

After leaving Ji Mingjing, Lu Yunxiang’s previous anxiety and bad feelings instantly disappeared.

【System, is my sixth sense not working?】

System: 【It means Ji Mingjing is your lucky star!】

Lu Yunxiang: 【You’re quite a joker.】

System: 【This system only speaks the truth!】

Lu Yunxiang smiled, not taking it to heart.

When she returned home, it was already dark. She washed up and went to bed.

She didn’t care about Zhang Lin, she didn’t even think about her, so she didn’t know that Zhang Lin wasn’t home today, and wasn’t sleeping on the balcony either.

She had been sent out by Chen Chunping and Zhang Qing.

Chen Chunping and Zhang Qing watched Lu Yunxiang go into her room, and a sinister look appeared on their faces.

That night, Lu Yunxiang slept soundly in her bed.

In the middle of the night, a dark figure stealthily slipped into the compound from the gate, sneaking towards Lu Yunxiang’s house.

Lu Yunxiang’s house was the biggest in the compound, and it was also the furthest in.

The dark figure walked straight towards Lu Yunxiang’s house.

It was clear that he had a clear purpose.

However, when he was ten meters away from Lu Yunxiang’s house, a tall figure appeared, instantly locking his neck, he couldn’t even scream before he was dragged away.

Wang Ergou was terrified!

The other person was clearly a fighter, he had no chance of fighting back.

And the other person was choking him, he couldn’t even call for help.

The other person dragged him out of the compound, to a deserted corner before releasing him.

He was thrown heavily to the ground, he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

“Spare me, good sir!”

Ji Mingjing looked at him with cold eyes.

“Tell me, what were you doing!”

Wang Ergou trembled like a leaf, it was the middle of the night, and there were no streetlights, he couldn’t see Ji Mingjing’s face, he could only see a silhouette behind him.

There were two people.

And Ji Mingjing was holding a long object in his hand.

It made a metallic clanging sound when it hit the wall.

He trembled with fear.

“I… I didn’t want to… ah!”

He hadn’t finished denying it when the metal stick hit his back, making him wince in pain.

He rolled on the ground.

“I… I’m just a thief… I wanted to steal something… ah!”

His leg was hit hard again, he seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking.

Ji Mingjing’s voice was menacing.

“You don’t want to talk, huh? I wonder if your head can withstand a blow!”

Wang Ergou was so scared he quickly confessed.

“I… I’ll tell you!”

Ji Mingjing said fiercely, “Tell me!”

Wang Ergou endured the pain and stammered, “I… I’m from the same village as Zhang Qing, he saw that I didn’t have a wife, he said… said he would give me his stepdaughter as a wife, he told me to go to his house tonight, he would help me…”

Zhang Qing wanted to find someone to ruin Lu Yunxiang’s reputation, and then force Lu Yunxiang on Wang Ergou, a good-for-nothing.

Wang Ergou was already over thirty, he usually idled around the village, stealing and doing shady things, no one liked him.

His family was also poor, he couldn’t find a wife.

So when Zhang Qing said he would give him his stepdaughter as a wife, he was overjoyed.

He had seen her from afar, Zhang Qing’s stepdaughter was beautiful as a flower.

He had struck gold!

Whether it was low or not was not something he considered.

After all, it was Zhang Qing who came to him first!

He spoke very subtly.

But Ji Mingjing understood!

A sharp light flashed in his dark eyes.

Wang Ergou suddenly shivered.

He quickly begged for mercy.

“Spare my life, good sir!”

Ji Mingjing sneered.

“Zhou He, did you hear that? You decide the charges!”

“Understood.”

Wang Ergou was stunned when he heard the name “Zhou He”, “Wh… which Zhou He?”

Because he often stole and cheated, he had been in the police station many times, he remembered that the police chief’s name was Zhou He.

Could it be such a coincidence?

The next second, he felt the cold touch of handcuffs.

He was desperate.

“Wang Ergou, you are suspected of attempted rape, come with me!”

Wang Ergou felt his vision go dark, it was indeed Zhou He’s voice.

So he had just confessed his crime?

He quickly begged for mercy, “No, Zhang Qing made me do it, I don’t know anything!”

Zhou He sneered, “Do you think Zhang Qing can escape?”

Zhou He arrested Wang Ergou on one side, and on the other side, someone went to Lu Yunxiang’s house and knocked on the door.

They knocked quietly.

Zhang Qing’s face immediately appeared at the door.

“Why are you so late?”

The next second, he was pressed to the ground, his mouth covered, and dragged out.

Xiao Zhang and Xiao He quickly dragged him out, then they beat him up, beating him until his face was bruised and swollen, he could only breathe in, not out, before they let go of him.

“You dare to frame our sister-in-law, you’re lucky we didn’t kill you.”

“Serves you right, your heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys are all rotten!”

Zhang Qing, dazed and confused, was dragged by the two men to the police station to meet Wang Ergou.

Lu Yunxiang, fast asleep, was completely unaware of what was happening outside.

She slept soundly.

The system that adjusted her deep sleep: Hide your merit and fame!

After working hard for most of the night, Wang Ergou and Zhang Qing, although they confessed, they wouldn’t be severely punished because they didn’t succeed.

They would only be detained for a while.

They would be fined.

They would also be publicly shamed at their workplaces, fired from their jobs, and their houses would be confiscated.

Zhou He asked Ji Mingjing, “Is that okay?”

Ji Mingjing’s face was gloomy.

If Lu Yunxiang hadn’t felt something was wrong and been cautious, he wouldn’t know what she would have faced tonight!

“We’ll announce his charges tomorrow.”

Tomorrow he would take Lu Yunxiang away from here.

Once she left, it wouldn’t matter to her what happened here.

Zhou He nodded.

Zhou He had been a comrade-in-arms with Ji Mingjing for five years, he was recently transferred to Fengcheng, a small town, to be the police chief because he was injured on the battlefield.

He didn’t expect to meet Ji Mingjing again.

Ji Mingjing was clearly not himself today.

He realized that there was another victim in this matter.

“What’s your relationship with that girl?”

Ji Mingjing looked up at Zhou He, his deep eyes filled with meaning.

Zhou He’s eyes lit up uncontrollably.

“You… you… you… you like her? No way, you’ve finally blossomed?”
