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

Jing Kaiyuan didn't dodge; he just stared at Jing Wenqiang.

But his eyes blazed with a menacing force, as if he wanted to devour Jing Wenqiang with his authority.

Jing Wenqiang was ultimately too timid, and he didn't manage to throw the punch.

However, he wasn't one to be easily bullied. He quickly released Jing Kaiyuan and walked towards the phone, saying, "I'll tell my dad right now!"

“Sure,” Jing Kaiyuan took a sip of tea. “Let your dad know what you’ve been up to in Xiaoliangzhuang. When he investigates, do you think he’ll believe me or you?”

Jing Wenqiang was stunned.

My father has always valued brotherly affection, so it's impossible for him to trust me.

“Listen to me, Wenqiang, turning yourself in is much better than being arrested,” Jing Kaiyuan said, patting Wenqiang on the shoulder. “Go and turn yourself in now, and I’ll find a way to get you exonerated.”

"As for your criminal record, you don't need to worry about it at all. To tell you the truth, your father has already written to you. Next spring, our country will immediately launch a major initiative: reform and opening up! At that time, it won't be the position that matters, but the money that matters."

"At most, I'll put in a good word for you with your father and get you more money than your two older brothers. What do you think?"

Jing Kaiyuan used a combination of soft and hard tactics to dampen Jing Wenqiang's arrogance to some extent.

Jing Wenqiang was already afraid of his treacherous third uncle, and now, upon hearing these words, he felt even more uncertain.

When his father learned some new information in the south, he didn't tell him immediately, but instead told his third uncle.

Doesn't this prove that he has long been excluded from the core of the family by his father, brothers, and uncles?

He was unwilling to become someone else's stepping stone!

Just as the uncle and nephew were at an impasse, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, breaking the tense atmosphere inside.

"Is Jing Wenqiang here? Come out! Quickly come with us to the police station to cooperate with the investigation!"

A young police officer spoke as he pushed open the courtyard gate and walked in.

Jing Wenqiang's face was ashen; he felt that his life was over!

……

When Li Hanliang woke up early in the morning, he smelled the delicious aroma of meat buns.

He hadn't been eating much oily food lately, and the aroma of this pure local pork filling made his mouth water.

"Lanfang, hurry up and give me two, they smell so good!" Li Hanliang slipped on his shoes and went to the kitchen.

Although his own skills were good, compared to Liu Lanfang's, he was still a novice.

Liu Lanfang's steamed buns have a unique flavor reminiscent of homemade country cooking, which suits the palate of someone like him who was used to fine Western cuisine in his previous life.

Liu Lanfang was amused by Li Hanliang's greedy look. She immediately handed him two steaming hot buns, tilted her pretty, snow-white chin up, and said, "There's some soy milk I just made over there. Go and eat it."

Following her directions, Li Hanliang saw a large bucket of steaming soy milk, rippling in the morning light and emitting steam like clouds.

"Goodness, this is too lavish!"

Li Hanliang sighed and quickly served himself a bowl.

Holding a full bowl of agar-agar soy milk in my hands, my heart feels warm and cozy.

"Boss, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and drink it while it's hot!" Liu Lanfang urged him with a smile.

Li Hanliang then came to his senses and exclaimed sincerely, "Now I finally understand why the poorer a man is, the more willing he is to get married."

Waking up this morning, I was greeted by a simple house, and I thought about the next day, which would be another day of busy work and hardship.

Just then, his wife's gentle voice came, "Honey, breakfast is ready for you. Eat it while it's hot."

What a wonderful experience!

Li Hanliang gulped down a large bowl of hot soy milk and ate four large meat buns with thin skins and generous fillings.

Then, in the steaming kitchen, facing the morning light, he looked up and saw Liu Lanfang busy at work. He immediately felt a sense of awe and thought to himself, "A real man should marry a wife like this!"

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door.

Li Hanliang knew it was time to pick up the next customer.

He rushed to open the door, but to his surprise, the person standing at the door was not a guest, but Fang Qingquan in plain clothes.

"Director Fang is here to buy breakfast?" Li Hanliang asked knowingly.

Seeing Fang Qingquan's tired face, clearly indicating she hadn't slept all night, he knew she definitely wasn't there for breakfast.

"Li Hanliang, come with me." Fang Qingquan called to Li Hanliang, then turned and left without lingering for a moment.

Li Hanliang grabbed two large meat buns and followed them out.

"Director Fang, what's wrong? Is this difficult to handle?" Li Hanliang handed her two steamed buns and asked tentatively.

Fang Qingquan looked down.

This time, she didn't refuse, but just grabbed one, put it in her mouth, and took a bite.

Upon seeing this, Li Hanliang became even more certain that the situation was somewhat troublesome.

Otherwise, this usually decisive policewoman wouldn't have been so frustrated.

“We arrested Jing Wenqiang last night,” Fang Qingquan said as he finished eating a steamed bun, took out a tissue to wipe his hands and mouth, and added, “The Jing family uncle and nephew must have planned this together.”

“They’ve pushed all the blame onto Jing Wenqiang. Last night, Jing Wenqiang confessed to everything. No matter how much we reasoned with him or appealed to his emotions, he just wouldn’t implicate Jing Kaiyuan.”

Li Hanliang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Actually, he was not surprised by this result.

Jing Kaiyuan is a bit too inexperienced to fight against himself, but he's more than capable of fighting against Jing Wenqiang.

After all, they were people who could occupy such a lucrative position in the supply and marketing cooperative in this era. How could they fall so easily?

“Director Fang, we should take things a little easier and not be too perfectionistic,” Li Hanliang said, then added, “Besides, haven’t you heard that a gentleman’s revenge is never too late?”

"You mean..." Fang Qingquan stopped in his tracks.

Li Hanliang sighed, adopting an attitude imbued with patriotism, "Jing Kaiyuan's involvement in the water-injected pork incident is the first crime; his loss of 300 jin of public pig feed for personal revenge is the second. Both of these are serious crimes, and of course we cannot let him escape."

"Otherwise, where is the interest of the people? Where is public property?"

“But,” he changed the subject, “since the time isn’t right yet, why don’t we nurture his arrogance a little longer? When the time is ripe, it will be the moment he pays a heavy price for his actions!”

Fang Qingquan was somewhat persuaded by Li Hanliang.

She was still trying to figure out a way to bring Jing Kaiyuan to justice, no matter what.

but now……

"So, Hanliang," Fang Qingquan looked at Li Hanliang solemnly, "are you willing to work with me to find this opportunity?"

"I would like to invite you to join me in creating a bright and clear sky for Anfeng County!"

"Do you want to?"
