The woman paused for a moment, then took out a purse from the straw mat and casually tossed out a few coins.

"Your stuff is only worth this much."

Xiao Ran picked it up as if it were a precious treasure, and said:

"Thank you, my wife! This is enough. You are truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and intelligent..."

The woman didn't say anything, but simply clutched her purse and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, I noticed that Xiao Ran was staring intently at the child.

"What are you looking at? Aren't you coming out with me?"

Xiao Ran scratched his head. "Wife, I was just wondering, I think I've seen someone who looks like this in prison..."

"Have you seen my son?"

Suddenly, the woman seemed to go mad and grabbed Xiao Ran's clothes tightly.

It seems her guess was correct; the woman's son was the key.

She was a little out of breath and pried the woman's hands away.

"Wife...you're hurting me."

Tell me! How is my son?!

The woman lessened her strength slightly, but her voice was still incredibly fierce.

"My dear wife, how could I remember so much? It all happened several days ago. Besides, the situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't have time to remember so much..."

"If you ask me, we should hurry to the city; maybe we can see each other one last time..."

These words reminded the woman, and she immediately let go of Xiao Ran's hand and walked towards the door.

Xiao Ran coughed lightly from behind, just to remind Duan Li.

She chuckled inwardly. Although she didn't know who the woman's son was, she could take advantage of the woman's love for her son.

In this way, once she sends the child away and the Dirty Street case is solved, Master Qi can be released from prison without any problem.

She and Master Qi would not suffer the same fate as in their previous life, nor would they miss out on Master Qi's intelligence network.

Everything was so perfect, all the woman had to do was step out of the house...

Can……

Sudden.

The door was pushed open.

Jiang Shaorong walked in dressed in a white robe and snapped open his folding fan.

"The Zhang family."

"Are you guilty?"

Xiao Ran stared blankly as Jiang Shaorong barged in, her thoughts abruptly cut off.

"Who are you?" the woman asked, taking a step back.

Xiao Ran immediately got up and stared intently at Jiang Shaorong, saying, "He is also one of our brothers and sisters..."

Jiang Shaorong didn't look at Xiao Ran, but a gentle smile appeared on her lips.

“Your son, Zeng Jitian, is someone I can deal with.”

These words struck Xiao Ran like a thunderclap.

How did Jiang Shaorong know that Zeng Jitian was this Zhang's son?

No, or rather, how could he know so easily that Zhang's son in prison was Zeng Jitian when no one else knew about the case, not even the Dali Temple?

How did he know?! How did he find out?

However, the woman did not share Xiao Ran's thoughts. Upon hearing about Zeng Jitian's situation, she immediately rushed forward as if she were in a frenzy.

"You corrupt officials! My son was such an obedient person, how could he kill someone?! He must have been killed by you dog officials!"

"Give me back my son!" The woman rushed forward, just as Xiao Ran had seen her hysterically rush into the city when she entered.

This time, however, no guards stopped her; she rushed straight towards the thing Jiang Shaorong had secretly pulled from his pocket—

dagger.

Xiao Ran stared wide-eyed at Jiang Shaorong in disbelief.

The woman slowly collapsed to the ground.

The blood from the dagger pulled from his body splattered onto Jiang Shaorong's hands.

He didn't rush to wipe it off; the gentle smile remained on his face.

"Miss Xiao Ran."

Are you satisfied with what Jiang has done this time?
