Chapter 481: 487 Psychological Tactics_1

Lin Xiangwan reluctantly nodded. "Grandma, if you insist, I’ll accept it for now. But if you ever want it back, I can give it back to you anytime!"

The old lady’s pride seemed a bit challenged. "Little girl, when I said I wanted to give you this, I meant it. Why would I want it back?"

Lin Xiangwan accepted it.

Qin Muchuan tried to return it to Grandma, but Lin Xiangwan stopped him.

Even though the whole incident was rather unpleasant, since the old woman was of such an advanced age, wouldn’t it be equivalent to slapping her on the face if they returned it now? Wouldn’t that make her very upset?

So, despite feeling rather embarrassed, she agreed to keep it.

Qin Muchuan didn’t say anything more, showing approval of Lin Xiangwan’s actions.

Xu Feng’e was stuck in the living room, unable to either sit or stand. She tried to leave only to be stopped by Qin Muchuan’s bodyguards.

She yelled out in displeasure, "Qin Muchuan, how dare you deny me of my freedom!"

"The situation is not as complicated as you think," Qin Muchuan said indifferently. "When the police arrive and handle some matters, if they allow you to leave, you are free to do so."

Xu Feng’e, like a clown trapped in a well, spinning in circles, hoping to escape but with no means to do so, cried to her mother for help.

Just then, the police arrived, in particular, a group of officers assigned to such a grand mansion.

As they stepped into the Qin Family, they followed the protocol, saluting when necessary. "Comrade Qin Muchuan reported that a thief was in the house and asked us to come here and check the surveillance cameras."

Qin Muchuan nodded, "Indeed, the surveillance is upstairs, we can go check the footage."

Lin Xiangwan, standing nearby, couldn’t help but snicker upon hearing the officer address Qin Muchuan as "Comrade." What era are they from to still use such a term?

"Comrade," such a term is used to refer to homosexuals these days!

Alas, why can’t folk of such a grand mansion keep up with modern times? Can’t they just call him Mr. Qin?

Oddly enough, Qin Muchuan seemed perfectly at ease with the title, showing no signs of discomfort whatsoever.

Lin Xiangwan considered for a moment. Perhaps, this was the infamous generation gap?

In Qin Muchuan’s eyes, it was all perfectly normal.

Surveillance cameras--

The word suddenly popped into her ears. Spotting their actions towards the staircase leading to the surveillance room, Lin Xiangwan anxiously grabbed Qin Muchuan’s hand, "No? Isn’t it inappropriate?"

Qin Muchuan looked her over casually. "What’s inappropriate about it?"

Lin Xiangwan’s cheeks blushing a ripe peach color, she asked nervously in a low voice, "What’s inappropriate, you ask?"

Those cameras have probably recorded their... their...

Qin Muchuan patted her shoulder and whispered to her, "Relax, there’s nothing to worry about!"

He then made his way towards the stairs.

Lin Xiangwan grabbed his hand again, "Have you deleted everything? Are you sure we won’t be exposed?"

Qin Muchuan shook his head, "No!"

No?

An army of exclamation marks popped into her mind.

Frustrated by his nonchalance, she shouted in an undertone, "NO? Then why are you inviting them to review the footage? And you told me to put... put... put my mind at ease. HOW am I supposed to do that?"

Qin Muchuan shrugged it off, "So what? We are a married couple, not lovers sneaking around!"

Very agitated, Lin Xiangwan urgently whispered, "Even if we’re not sneaking around, we can’t just expose ourselves to others, right? I don’t want others to see everything about me, can you understand that?"

"Hush--" he warned her.

Standing in the living room, Xu Feng’e could not help but bite her teeth in anger, "Qin Muchuan, there’s no need to check the surveillance. I admit to everything. You want to arrest me, right? Go ahead then!"

Qin Muchuan turned to the police officers who were about to ascend the stairs. "She has admitted to her wrongdoings!"

The two officers nodded in agreement, "Since she confessed, there’s no need to check the surveillance. Let’s take her away."

Xu Feng’e, who had always commanded respect, was taken away by the police. She veiled her face with a handkerchief, deeply embarrassed.

Lin Xiangwan watched the scene unfold with a cold expression, but inside, she was filled with glee.

She deemed it best if a woman like Xu Feng’e could spend the rest of her life in the detention center.

Qin Muchuan secretly smirked and reached for Lin Xiangwan’s hand, "You silly girl, you almost got us into trouble!"

Lin Xiangwan knew what he meant. She had been so worried and frightened while Xu Feng’e wasn’t at all. "Regardless of your strategic psychological games, I won’t stand for it!"

"But I don’t actually have surveillance!" Qin Muchuan whispered in her ear.

"Oh..." Lin Xiangwan finally understood and giggled, "You really know how to fool people. Can you tell me when you’re telling the truth?"

"Every word I said is true!" Qin Muchuan said.

Grandma Qin chimed in, ’The brat speaks the truth sometimes?"

"Haha..." Qin Muchuan was amused by her words.

The two children playing in the yard ran inside, ecstatically announcing, "The nasty grandma got arrested by the police!"

Lin Haoran chanted dazedly, "Oh yeah, let’s hope she never comes back, never comes back, never comes back!"

"Hey, are you singing a song?" Lin Xiangwan pinched the child’s small face.

"Yes, I am!"

Grandma Qin looked at her family and thought: It’s true, like parent, like child. They all tricked Xu Feng’e into jail over such a small matter. Why did Feng’e have to mess with Xiangwan?

Xiangwan wasn’t someone to be messed with!

In a rare turn of events, Qin Gang arrived not long after his wife was taken away.

As soon as he entered the door, he asked, "Whoa, there seems to be some trouble around here. Did you know? Just now, I saw a police car leaving!"

As the smiles on the family’s faces gradually faded, their joy morphed into a private delight. But none showed any sign of this on their face apart from the outwardly cold Qin Muchuan.

Grandma Qin silently watched her son.

Qin Gang, who was fairly curious, kept on probing. "Didn’t you hear the sirens earlier? The incident happened right around our house; I wonder if it was at the Xiao’s next door!"

Grandma Qin snorted, "Why would you think it’s the Xiao Family? The young couple lives there, what could they possibly have done?"

Qin Gang retorted logically, "Xiao Qingyao is always busy with work and rarely comes home. Could it be that his wife was kidnapped?"

Lin Xiangwan frowned, thinking that this father-in-law wasn’t very proper.

Why would he say such things when the two kids were present?

Without asking for their opinion or permission, she took the children outside to play.

Grandma Qin slapped her son’s hand. "Mind your words! It’s not the Xiaos!"
