Chapter 273: Chapter 273 “Justice Will Eventually Triumph Over Evil
Jiang Li, who was reading a book, suddenly jumped in fright. After closing the book, she looked at Jiang Yan with slight dissatisfaction.
“What’s wrong, what did you call?”
Jiang Yan stood still, one hand still covered with soap suds, the bubbles dripping intermittently. In his other hand, he tightly clenched his phone until his knuckles slightly whitened.
“It’s nothing,” he forced the words through his clenched teeth.
As if it was nothing!
His na on his household registration still hadn’t been changed?!
Heaven knows how much ridicule he had suffered in his childhood because of the na “Jiang Fugui.”
He even vividly rembered the start of his third-grade year when a boy with big teeth ran up to him and said,
“Your na is Jiang Fugui, right? What a coincidence, my dog is also nad Fugui.”
Jiang Li glanced at him suspiciously, “Are you really okay?”
Jiang Yan switched off his phone and secretly made a decision—
He would never let anyone outside his family know about this forr na!!!
“It’s nothing,” Jiang Yan forced a natural smile, “I just saw so comnts from netizens and got angry, that’s all.”
Jiang Li cast a glance at him and didn’t pursue the matter further.
“Okay, I need to go out for a bit, you stay ho and take care of things.”
Jiang Yan instantly beca alert, “What are you going out for? Didn’t the village chief tell us to stay indoors as much as possible these days? The poacher hasn’t been caught yet, aren’t you being too careless?”
Jiang Li’s expression was calm, “I’m going to see Hu Zi; the village chief said he has recovered his mory. The provincial police have already co to have him identify people. They said it’s best if I go too.”
Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good.”
Jiang Li quickly got ready and left the house, but turned back just as the door was closing.
Seeing her staring at his face incessantly, Jiang Yan felt inexplicably strange.
“What? Missing already before you even leave?”
Seeing his increasingly sullen expression, Jiang Li furrowed her brows.
“Don’t go out these next few days unless necessary.”
Jiang Yan was even more puzzled, “You’ve been telling that almost every week, what’s really going on?”
“It’s nothing,” Jiang Li withdrew her gaze, “Just hold on for three more days. The show’s crew has booked our plane tickets for then, and you’ll be able to have fun freely.”
Those words successfully diverted Jiang Yan’s attention.
Fantastic!
He was finally leaving this godforsaken place!
He had completed his punishnt, and even though he hadn’t used the opportunity for the helicopter ride last night, Wen Jiaojiao had still complained in the group chat about how he was surprisingly resilient this ti. In three days, he was determined to show everyone who trolled him online the reborn Jiang Yan, like a phoenix rising from the ashes!
Jiang Li, still uneasy, checked around the house one last ti before leaving.
She hadn’t walked far when she encountered Zhao Lang coming from the opposite direction on the footpath.
He was dressed very simply today, wearing a light brown cross-collared shirt and matching trousers, looking refreshingly graceful.
However, his expression changed slightly when her gaze fell on the bandage still wrapped around his forehead.
It seed this guy was still on guard against her.
Thinking this, Jiang Li intended to brush past as if she hadn’t seen him, but just as she took a step, Zhao Lang called out to her.
“That heartless? Did I do sothing wrong that you won’t even greet ?”
Jiang Li feigned surprise, “Mr. Zhao, are you looking for ?”
Zhao Lang folded his arms across his chest, a playful glint in his eyes, “Otherwise, what? The village chief said we need to ensure the safety of our honored guest, so he sent to pick you up.”
Jiang Li nodded slightly, “Since it’s the village chief’s kindness, I accept it. Let’s go.”
Zhao Lang looked at her as if he wanted to say sothing, but in the end, he just moved his lips without speaking.
The two walked side by side in silence on an even quieter path.
Ever since the police had inford them that their village was housing a group of poachers, including a ringleader with a scar on his face who had escaped, they had beco very cautious.
Even though the village chief had already made arrangents for security throughout the village, the villagers were still fearful, and they dared not go out during the day.
A place that was once a paradise had beco desolate overnight.
It was hard for Jiang Li not to be sentintal while walking on the road.
Zhao Lang glanced at her and guessed her worries.
“Don’t worry, I’ve been arranging patrols these past few days. He won’t get far, and I believe he will be caught soon.”
Jiang Li quickly responded, “Mr. Zhao, are you so certain he will be caught so soon?”
Zhao Lang coughed.
Of course, he was certain for a reason.
Zhou Xu was among the top ten global hackers. He had instructed him to remotely monitor the satellite imagery of the area in real-ti a few days ago, and to notify him imdiately of any movents.
Chen Xing was a tough character; he surely knew that he was surrounded and would be even more cautious about making a move.
But people’s patience has its limits; even the toughest would slip up soday.
Of course, he couldn’t tell Jiang Li all this, so he tried to think of another way to say it, but every excuse he thought of seed unreasonable. Thus, Zhao Lang blurted out—
“Because evil cannot overco good, justice will eventually prevail over evil.”
Jiang Li: “….”
Was he serious?
Did he really think she was a three-year-old child?
But when she looked up, she t Zhao Lang’s extrely clear eyes.
Jiang Li fell silent again.
Well, she wouldn’t argue over this with him.
Although she didn’t know the identity or the background of this man, at the very least, there wasn’t a trace of malice in him, and his aura was very pure, not that of a heinous villain.
Everyone has secrets, just as she couldn’t share her own secrets with anyone else; others are the sa.
The atmosphere improved a lot after that, with Zhao Lang vividly recounting the unusual incidents that had occurred in the village these past few days. Jiang Li temporarily put aside her misgivings and listened intently.
The two soon arrived at the village chief’s house.
To avoid causing a stir, the police from the province did not arrive in a squad car, but rather in civilian cars, keeping a low profile until they entered, where Jiang Li then saw three SWAT officers.
A slightly older one led a young man and a woman.
The young policewoman’s eyes lit up when she saw her, and she imdiately ca forward to shake her hand.
“You must be Jiang Li, right? I’m—”
The middle-aged policeman coughed.
The young policewoman closed her lips tightly, looking sowhat displeased, yet she resud her professional deanor to introduce their police identity and the purpose of their visit to Jiang Li.
When the middle-aged policeman turned his attention to talk to the village chief, the young policewoman quietly moved closer to Jiang Li and whispered in a very low voice, “I’ve finally t you, Jiang Li! I am an ordinary person!”
Jiang Li was stunned for a few seconds before she realized that “ordinary person” was her fan na.
Suppressing the strange feeling inside, she smiled slightly, “Officer Xu, thank you for your support; it seems we really are fated.”
