After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Otherwise what? Do you think I'm a ghost right now? Here to take your life?"

Master Qi chuckled and glanced at the distance. "How could it not be? Look at that! Zeng Jitian is already a bloody mess, and he's still watching over him! What else could he be but a vengeful ghost?"

Xiao Ran lowered her eyes slightly; she naturally knew that Master Qi was referring to Jiang Shaorong.

"I think officials just look down on us ordinary people!" Master Qi said with a hint of indignation.

“Those who look down on others throughout history have always been betrayed and abandoned by their own people,” Xiao Ran said slowly, her eyes slightly narrowed. Then she gently shook her head and asked, “Let’s not talk about that. But Master Qi, why were you arrested?”

"Well..." Master Qi looked slightly embarrassed, and stammered a bit as he spoke, "Never mind, don't laugh at me if I tell you!"

“A few days ago, a friend told me about a case that happened on Dirty Street. It is said that a child from the capital accidentally wandered into a house on Dirty Street and then disappeared without a trace.”

Mentioning the dirty street, Xiao Ran's thoughts instantly drifted back to the first time she and Duan Li entered the city, the hysterical woman still vivid in her mind's eye. She remembered that time, the woman crying out that her son was imprisoned, and she was unable to go to the capital to visit him.

“Because Dirty Street is also under the jurisdiction of one of my brothers, he came to me wanting to close this case as soon as possible. After all, when the government investigates a case, they don’t treat the people in Dirty Street as human beings.”

"That night I disguised myself and went to investigate, but I was caught red-handed. The officials didn't listen to what I had to say and immediately identified me as a criminal and arrested me."

"This filthy and chaotic environment, we don't even know where our next meal will come from. Luckily, I, Master Qi, am already used to it." Master Qi looked around with disgust and kicked the straw on the ground.

Looking at Master Qi's figure, Xiao Ran noticed that he had indeed lost some weight.

"But they haven't said anything to you during all this time they've been locked up?" Xiao Ran asked.

"Yes, just before you came, they were forcing me to confess to this crime, otherwise they would keep me locked up here indefinitely." Master Qi's tone was full of resentment. "They don't know my temperament, Ran girl, don't you know? I would rather die than confess to this crime!"

Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, then suddenly it reminded her of her past life.

If I remember correctly, in my previous life, Master Qi was released after being arrested for a few days, but he has not been released yet.

Given Master Qi's personality, he would never confess, which means he was either acquitted or for some other reason in his past life...

But the only variable in this life is Zeng Jitian. If she remembers correctly, in her previous life, Zeng Jitian was released a few days before Master Qi.

She looked toward the person standing there silently, perhaps only through him could she understand what had happened.

"Hey! Why are you looking at that beast who treats human life like dirt? Tell me quickly what happened before? I'm bored." Master Qi was full of curiosity.

That's just how Master Qi is; he's curious about everything, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the dirty street.

"Next time, it's almost time for prison visits. I'll have a proper chat with you when you get out, Mr. Qi," Xiao Ran replied with a slight smile.

"Alright, but I wonder when these beasts will let me out..."

Xiao Ran ignored Master Qi's words. She gently adjusted her veil, pulling it down even lower, and then turned and walked deeper into the prison.

"stop."
