Rebirth 78: After being jilted at the altar, I reached the pinnacle!

Li Hanliang was stumped by his question.

Too much information.

In other words, this handsome veteran is now part of the Pei family; they are one family.

Moreover, this veteran knew about his conversation with Shuxin in the Pei family's main room that night!

"Well... I was indeed rude that night." Li Hanliang could only awkwardly twitch the corners of his mouth.

Lin Qiang gave him a displeased look, his eyes like knives, as if he wanted to castrate Li Hanliang.

However, considering Pei Shuxin's reputation, he certainly couldn't say more.

"Let's go home and talk about it." Lin Qiang turned around and looked at Pei's two children.

The usually arrogant Pei Jianjun and the exceptionally clever Pei Shuxin were now as docile as kittens in front of Lin Qiang. The arrogant one was silent, and the clever one was quiet, only able to nod obediently.

Li Hanliang saw this and secretly wiped away a cold sweat.

If the Pei family's retainers are like this, what about the old Pei whom we have yet to meet?

At this moment, he was highly skeptical of Pei Shuxin's suggestion to spend the night at Pei's house.

Chen Shuyun was clearly already very familiar with the Pei family and was used to this kind of scene. "Uncle Qiang, I'll tell you about today's events later. This isn't really Shuxin's fault; it's all because of a group of bad people..."

As she spoke, she winked at Pei Shuxin and helped Lin Qiang out.

Pei Shuxin breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Li Hanliang, and followed him out.

Pei Jianjun, however, was not so patient. He pointed at Li Hanliang fiercely and said, "You brat, you just wait, this isn't over!"

"Hehe, please... take care." Li Hanliang wiped away a bead of cold sweat.

It's unclear whether Pei Jianjun or Lin Qiang said this.

Anyway, both of them turned around, and they were both glaring at him angrily.

Li Hanliang didn't dare to breathe too loudly. This time, he only truly breathed a sigh of relief after obediently seeing the Pei family off.

Wang Jianghui was also drenched in cold sweat. He wiped his forehead with trembling hands, turned around to catch his breath, and then regained his police officer's composure, pointing at Li Hanliang, "Suspect, sit down."

Li Hanliang found his appearance somewhat comical.

"Officer, isn't this really unnecessary? Do you think you can pull any tricks on that gentleman?"

Wang Jianghui never expected him to be so direct.

A country boy walked into a city police station and wasn't scared at all?

“I don’t understand what you’re saying,” Wang Jianghui couldn’t possibly respond, nor could he let Li Hanliang go right now. Although he knew it wouldn’t be of much use, he could only grit his teeth and continue, “Name.”

"Li Hanliang".

"age."

Wang Jianghui continued asking questions in a serious manner.

Li Hanliang didn't make things difficult for him. He simply leaned back in the wooden chair, crossed his legs, and answered casually, "21."

"Profession……"

"Deputy Director of the Pig Farm of Xiaoliangzhuang Production Brigade".

Hearing this, Wang Jianghui finally looked up and glanced at Li Hanliang again.

That look was very serious, and Li Hanliang could see it in his eyes, which surprised him.

"What, you admire me? I'm quite outstanding to have become the deputy factory director at such a young age."

Li Hanliang deliberately provoked him.

Wang Jianghui's goatee was so angry it almost stood on end; he knew he had really met his match.

“Uncle Hui, shall I ask?” Li Tao, who was watching from the side, sensed that something was wrong and offered his suggestion.

Wang Jianghui no longer wanted to waste time on this matter. He knew Zhou Pengfei was doomed to defeat as soon as the Pei family made their move.

Moreover, Zhou Pengfei's message to him was merely to delay Li Hanliang, without giving him any specific instructions.

As for what Zhou Pengfei would do with those two girls after he had delayed Li Hanliang, that was none of his business.

Now that the matter has been delayed, he doesn't need to worry about the rest.

“Alright, Xiao Tao, you’re here. You should get more experience. This is a great opportunity.” Wang Jianghui said in a grand and respectable tone.

Li Tao nodded, his thoughts unreadable.

Li Hanliang could tell that the young police officer's attitude towards Wang Jianghui was noticeably less respectful than before.

It seems this young police officer is a smart man; Li Hanliang is becoming more and more interested in him.

When Li Tao started asking questions, the questions were much simpler. There were no deliberately difficult questions; it was just routine, and everything was done in accordance with the rules and regulations.

"Alright, wait here. I'll decide whether to detain you after I've taken statements from the witnesses and the two victims." After writing the last word, Li Tao looked up and naturally smiled at Li Hanliang.

Li Hanliang nodded to him, his arrogant demeanor completely changed from that of Wang Jianghui, and he became very polite.

"Thank you very much, Officer Li," Li Hanliang said with a smile, extending his hand. "Speaking of which, we're actually from the same clan."

Li Tao shook hands with him in a businesslike manner, his face stern.

Li Hanliang sat down on the other side, and Li Tao called the witness and two students over.

Even though these procedures were just routine and Li Tao didn't make things difficult for her at all, they still took a full two hours.

To be honest, Li Hanliang couldn't help but worry. What if something went wrong with Lin Qiang? What if Pei Shuxin was punished by her family? These were all problems.

Also, will Old Zhou be harassed by that scoundrel Zhou Pengfei?

Li Hanliang waited there for two hours, his heart pounding with anxiety.

But no matter what, he can always keep his composure when it comes to saving face.

He could even sit in the chair with his eyes closed and rest for a full two hours.

Li Hanliang opened his eyes when Li Tao's voice rang out.

“You’re quite composed,” Li Tao said, his voice clearly showing some appreciation. “Don’t worry, you can leave now. The witness couldn’t produce any proof that he was a cook at the vocational school, and the two students’ answers were full of holes. The above evidence cannot prove that you stole anything.”

Li Hanliang stood up, smiled slightly, and solemnly extended his hand to Li Tao, "Officer Li, thank you for your fairness and impartiality."

"By the way, I sell pork. This is my business card. If you need anything at home, feel free to call me anytime, and I'll give you a discount." Li Hanliang handed over his business card with both hands.

Li Tao immediately declined, "No, no, that won't do, we have rules."

Li Hanliang forcibly stuffed the business card into his breast pocket, saying, "Isn't this for the convenience of handling cases? If anything goes missing from the vocational school again, just call me directly. You don't need to come to Xiaoliangzhuang to arrest me."

Only after he said that did Li Tao agree.

Li Hanliang left the police station and went straight to the Pei family's house.

This time, he didn't care about etiquette. Seeing that the Pei family's courtyard gate was open, he rushed in and ran into the main room.

Upon entering the room, Li Hanliang was dumbfounded.

A dignified voice rang out, "You are Li Hanliang?"
