A fast-paced transmigration story set in a historical fiction era: The fox spirit is enjoying happin

None of the three members of the Li family answered Aunt Banana's question.

Aunt Banana, unwilling to give up, asked again, "Yan'er, what happened?"

Li Bentian remained silent, and Ma Yan'er didn't dare to say that Li Qiao felt something was lost and came back to look for it.

She had a gut feeling that most of the people in this group would speak up for Li Qiao, just like they had done earlier.

Li Jiaojiao stared into Ma Yan'er's eyes and slowly said, "I'm here to look for something I accidentally lost, right, Aunt Ma?"

This is your last chance.

Ma Yan'er neither nodded nor shook her head; she still clung to a sliver of hope.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she replied, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Tsk," Li Jiaojiao waved her hand, "Dad, under your bed, the third compartment from the left is a hidden compartment. Go open it and see what's inside."

Ma Yan'er looked at her in disbelief: "You! How did you know?"

The person who had been nonchalant just moments before suddenly went berserk: "Li Bentian! You're not allowed to go in."

The confused crowd finally understood what had happened.

With so many people watching, Li Bentian became very assertive: "It's my own home, I can go wherever I want!"

Just as he was about to step inside, Ma Yan'er rushed to the door like a cannonball and locked it, preventing anyone from entering.

Ma Yan'er's face turned bright red, her hands clenched into fists, and she shouted, "If any of you dare come any closer, I'll make you pay!"

She was acting like a madwoman, and Aunt Banana and the others silently took a step back.

Even Li Bentian, who had been so assertive, unconsciously shrank back.

Li Jiaojiao admired her trapped-beast-like posture: "You think this will make you useful?"

"Auntie, please go to the phone booth and report to the police that the gold has been stolen. The other aunties, don't rush to leave, stay here."

Gold stolen? Hiss! The aunt closest to her gasped.

"Hey, I... I'll go now. Qiaoqiao, I'm Niu Xiaoxiao from room 409. I didn't take your gold!"

Niu Xiaoxiao was so frightened that her legs went weak. She regretted coming up here to join in the fun.

Unfortunately, there's no going back. Aunt Banana's face turned greener than a raw banana this time.

Running into Li Qiao never ends well! She thought to herself, "I'll avoid her from now on!"

Even if they sold their whole family, they still couldn't afford to compensate Li Qiao for her gold.

When Ma Yan'er heard that the police would be called, she screamed hysterically, "If you arrest me, you won't have an easy time either. The whole world will know that you're an ungrateful jinx!"

"I'm not being ungrateful; I'm putting righteousness before family. The things I lost were worth over two thousand yuan."

More than one person gasped in shock. Over two thousand yuan? That's equivalent to two or three years' wages for an average worker!

Niu Xiaoxiao was quick; she reported the incident to the police in less than a minute.

Her words startled the phone booth owner, who immediately closed the shop and ran up to see who had lost their gold.

The phone booth owner was stunned as he stood in front of the Li family's house.

He squeezed inside and stood next to Li Bentian, growling, "You old bastard, you usually only make a few cents when you call to buy things and even buy them on credit, but it turns out you're so rich that you even have gold!"

The phone booth owner's voice wasn't quiet; everyone around could hear it.

Li Bentian's face alternated between embarrassment and indignation: "Fuck your mother! You come up here and spout this bullshit?!"

The phone booth owner radiated anger at being deceived; he was ready to punch the man in front of him.

Every time this guy tries to buy something on credit, he makes himself sound pitiful.

And what happened? This guy was actually playing him for a fool!

Before the police arrived, everyone stood obediently inside the Li family's house, with Li Jiaojiao leading the group on one side and Li Bentian and the phone booth owner on the other.

Ma Yan'er still stood at the door of the room with a look of resistance on her face.

"Old Li, you have to believe me, I don't even know what's in that hidden compartment."

Seeing that she was no longer acting crazy like before, Li Bentian's expression wasn't so bad anymore.

He didn't respond to Ma Yan'er's words, but just stood there silently smoking and exhaling smoke.

But Niu Xiaoxiao and the others who had just witnessed the process did not believe a word of it. If they did not know what was inside, why did they not let people go in and find out?

The police arrived quickly, six or seven of them at once.

This is the first time such a large theft has occurred in this area, and they took the call very seriously.

The lead police officer asked, "Which one of you is the owner?"

Li Jiaojiao stepped forward. "I am the owner. This is the list of lost items."

The police officer in charge looked at Li Jiaojiao carefully, then called a colleague out for a moment, and then came in alone.

From the moment the police arrived, Li Bentian's brows were furrowed tightly. He hadn't expected his eldest daughter to actually call the police to handle this family matter.

Before the police began questioning each other, they arranged for two people to detain Ma Yan'er.

Ma Yan'er cried out, "I'm innocent!"

"Quiet!" The police officer shouted, startling everyone present.

The already apprehensive crowd became even more obedient.

Li Bentian stood next to Li Jiaojiao and said, "Qiaoqiao, how are you going to let Aunt Ma live in the compound after doing this?"

"Am I preventing her from being a human being? Or is she the one who isn't human?"

Li Jiaojiao shut him up, cutting off all the words he was about to say.

After a while, Li Bentian spoke again, "No matter what, she's still my wife, and your aunt."

Li Jiaojiao felt he was like an annoying fly, his words were unpleasant and disgusting. "Three years ago, on April 17th, at 8:12 PM, you seemed to have said the same thing."

Li Bentian: "So you really are resentful about that incident, I..."

"No, no, no, it wasn't just that day, it was for many years and many days. You've been using Ma Yan'er's identity to fob me off. I don't care who she is. It's enough that she's the Ma Yan'er I hate." Li Jiaojiao interrupted him, her gaze flat and unwavering.

As she went through the original owner's memories, she felt a pang of pity. In this blended family, the most willful person was not the child.

Li Jiaojiao thought that since she had used someone else's body, she must repay the debt of gratitude and grievances.

The police officers took their time, writing in their notebooks and stopping frequently, before finally finishing.

A car suddenly stopped downstairs, and a person got out.

"Brother Chen, don't drive so fast next time," said the officer who had just left the police station, following behind Chen Yu.

Chen Yu quickly stood beside Li Jiaojiao. "Are you alright?"

Li Jiaojiao shook her head. "You're quite something, even the police call you 'brother'."

Chen Yu chuckled lightly. "We just happened to know each other."

Upon seeing this eligible bachelor arrive, Li Bentian, with a bellyful of things to say, stood on the other side.

After all, this was a truly "golden" son-in-law, and he was counting on Chen Yu to live a carefree retirement life in the future.
