Xia Tian but only instructed the pretty waitress."Sure thing, please wait a moment." The waitress collected their menus and left.“Doctor Sister...” Xia Tian wanted to say something again.“Then, Xia Ti...Chapter 264: Scapegoating - WuYou Chinese Network
"Alright then, I'll find a suitable person to replace you as soon as possible," the person on the other end of the phone considered for a while before agreeing to Mire's request. "However, until someone replaces you, you still need to continue with your mission."
"I understand." Mire responded softly, "I will try not to let my emotions get in the way."
"I believe in you," the person on the other end seemed quite satisfied and then asked again, "Is there anything else"
“No more issues, I won't bother you further,” Mire spoke softly before hanging up the phone. She turned around, feeling a sense of unease as she saw Xia Tian and Mu Han walking hand in hand out of the bamboo forest in the distance.
In Linjiang County Town, Palace of the Crown Prince.
Cai Pengcheng had an unpleasant expression because he just received news that Yu Jin failed to bring someone back to the county due to intervention from a National Security Agency (NSA) agent.
Cai Pengcheng found this reason utterly ridiculous. He believed that Yu Jin was merely making up excuses; even if there were NSA agents involved, Yu should have brought them back first and then dealt with whether or not to respect the NSA's interests later on — something he deemed to be Cai Pengcheng's personal decision rather than Yu Jin’s.
"How dare he!" Cai Pengcheng glared at the beautiful woman beside him, his face darkened. "I'm losing my patience; find someone to handle this for me."
Liu Caixia's expression changed slightly: “Pengcheng, Yu Jin was transferred over from the province; could we be in trouble if we proceed with this”
"Are we new at doing this Have we ever had any trouble before" Cai Pengcheng wasn't too pleased. "When did you become so timid"
"Alright, I'll arrange it right away." Seeing Cai Pengcheng upset, Liu Caixia didn't dare to say anything more.
"Call Ding Song and tell him to go to Helou Village to bring the person here for me," Cai Pengcheng said again.
Liu Caixia nodded and quickly made a phone call. She soon arranged both tasks that Cai Pengcheng had instructed.
"Isn't it almost eight" Cai Pengcheng suddenly asked.
Liu Caixia gently nodded her head: "Yes, we're supposed to deliver the goods at nine o'clock to Jianghai. But now Zhang Yufen is dead; who should I send to make the delivery"
"Take a few people with you and go there yourself," Cai Pengcheng said after a brief moment of contemplation. "The market over there is huge, and we've never managed to establish connections before. This is a rare opportunity for us to show our sincerity."
"Okay, I'll get ready right away." Liu Caixia nodded gently.
"Although we have already checked the identity of the other party, we still need to be cautious as usual. You know what to do," Cai Pengcheng instructed her.
"I understand." Liu Caixia had been working with Cai Pengcheng for more than a year and was well aware of how things worked.
"Go get ready, and be careful." Cai Pengcheng waved his hand to dismiss her.
Liu Caixia nodded and left. However, the gloomy expression on Cai Pengcheng's face remained unchanged, as today's events had really dampened his spirits.
Villagers go to bed early, even though it was only around 8 PM, Tian Suye had already started arranging rooms for everyone. However, unlike in the city, there were more rooms available in the countryside; nonetheless, with the weather being hot, staying on the second floor wasn't an option. This left only two floors available to sleep on, which would be a bit tight if five people needed accommodation.
"Xin Xin, how do you think we should arrange this Should I and your dad go upstairs while you and Xia Xia share our room" asked Tian Suye quietly.
Summer found it strange. "But there are two rooms available," she said. "Let them sleep together and us three in the other room, that's perfect!"
Hearing Summer speak like this made Xin Xin feel dizzy; she understood what Summer meant. From Summer’s perspective, such an arrangement was indeed appropriate—Tian Tianyu and Tian Xiaoya could share a room while she herself would stay with Mu Han to accompany Summer. This pervert really had such nefarious intentions, thinking that last time he wanted her to sleep with Leng Bingbing beside him; now it's just changed to having Mu Han instead.
However, what Tian Suye heard sounded weird. What was this child planning
Tian Tianyu and Tian Xiaoya were also slightly worried since they knew clearly that Mu Han wasn't Xin Xin’s friend but her rival instead; only previously had Mu Han cooperated very well with them so Tian Suye didn’t pay attention to it, but now with this unexpected confession from the brother-in-law, things might become troublesome.
"Mom, Summer means he can sleep on the floor," Xin Xin finally realized and hurriedly explained. But then she quickly added: "But Summer doesn't mind the heat; I'll just go upstairs to be with him!"
"Is that so" Tian Suye didn’t doubt much since sleeping on the ground during this hot weather was quite normal too. "Xia Xia, are you really not afraid of the heat"
“Mom, it's true! He’s very cool to touch, and I'm not worried about being hot when he’s with me.” Xin Xin feared Summer would say something strange again so she immediately answered for him. Then she dragged Summer upstairs: "We'll go up now!"
Xin Xin and Summer had just ascended the stairs when a police car entered River Mouth Village, quickly stopping on the street opposite to Sun’s house. Three policemen then exited the vehicle, led by a middle-aged man in his forties with a slim figure, deep-set eyes, and bloodshot ones, indicating lack of sleep.
The middle-aged policeman, leading two younger officers, walked straight toward Mu Han's Audi Q7, smacking it hard. The car’s alarm instantly went off; the countryside being quiet made this sound quite loud, startling many people around. Inside the house, Mu Han was also startled by this.
"What are you doing" Mu Han walked out of the house and asked irritably.
The small store across from them was still brightly lit, making the area quite well-lit. Thus, several police officers instantly recognized Mu Han's appearance; they were momentarily stunned, with one middle-aged officer in particular looking at her with lustful eyes. He had been a frequent visitor to Prince’s Palace and used to think that the women there were very beautiful, but now seeing this woman made him realize that those ladies were merely common and vulgar compared to her—the so-called most beautiful lady of Linjiang County, Liu Caixia who owned Prince’s Palace, was worlds apart from this blonde beauty.
"Is this car yours" The middle-aged officer suppressed his excitement and asked.
"Yes, it's mine. Who are you" Mu Han demanded.
"That's all we needed to hear!" The middle-aged officer pulled out his identification. "I am Deputy Captain Ding Song of the Criminal Investigation Unit of Linjiang County Public Security Bureau. We found drugs in your car; now you're suspected of illegal possession of narcotics and will have to come with us."
"You’re saying there are drugs in my car" Mu Han found it quite amusing—how could she possibly be involved with such things
"Correct, this is what I just discovered inside your driver's seat." The middle-aged officer raised his hand to show a small bag containing some white powder-like substance. "The evidence speaks for itself; do you still wish to deny it"
Mu Han immediately understood that she had been framed—though the method was crude, she knew that it was effective nonetheless.
The onlookers were already buzzing with gossip:
"No wonder this girl looks wealthy; turns out she’s a drug trafficker!"
"Yes, such good looks but doing such despicable things!
"I heard that Xinxin from the Old Sun family has become successful too. Is she also involved in drug trafficking"
"Who knows From what I hear, there are a lot of people taking drugs now in the county, and when they don't have money, they start stealing and robbing everywhere!"
"This society is becoming more chaotic every day. These drug dealers really do a lot of harm to others..." ...
Hearing the villagers' discussions, Mu Han was somewhat annoyed. Ding Song, however, seemed quite pleased: "Miss, you have nothing left to say now, right"
"Hey, idiot, I still have something to say!" The window on the upper floor opened, and someone stuck their head out—it was Xia Tian.
"Who's shouting nonsense" Ding Song immediately got angry and shouted back while looking up: "Come down here if you've got some guts!"
Hardly had he finished speaking when his expression changed. The villagers watching also let out a gasp of shock because they saw Xia Tian jump out from the window!
"Hey, don't jump...
Young man, think clearly and don't commit suicide by jumping off the building..."
We can talk it out... shall I go ahead and have some fun" The ear ring guy looked at the woman on the ground with eyes full of desire.Lin Zi coldly said, "You can try if you want, but remember that if anything goes wrong...
