Chapter 338: Chapter 338 You Must Be Disappointed

Everyone at the scene turned their heads in unison, even Han Yifei turned to look. They saw a middle-aged man, about 1.7 meters tall and weighing about 170 pounds, with two strong bodyguards behind him, walking step by step in this direction.

"Oh my!"

"My dear son-in-law, why are you here?" Qin Lan’s face lit up with joy, hurrying to greet him, holding Director Zhang’s hands with both of hers.

This Director Zhang, over forty years old, looked average with an old-fashioned demeanor. Standing next to the well-preserved Qin Lan, they seemed more like husband and wife. Qin Lan calling him her dear son-in-law sounded particularly awkward.

"Is my brother-in-law out yet?"

Director Zhang, with his big belly and booming voice, scanned the room. When he saw the enchanting Han Yifei, his eyes lit up, but it was only when Qin Lan interrupted him that he withdrew his greedy gaze.

"Qiqiang is still inside waiting. These people simply do not respect you and the Wu’an Bureau..." said Qin Lan sarcastically, glancing towards Director Geng.

Director Geng immediately stepped forward with his head down, respectfully saying, "Director Zhang, please come inside!"

"No need!"

Director Zhang puffed out his chest and frowned, staring at Director Geng’s head. "I have a different opinion on Zhao Qiqiang’s case. You need to release him now. These next few days are my wedding with Zhao Leyao, and it wouldn’t look right if my brother-in-law wasn’t there."

"The mayor of Hengshui City will attend my wedding. If it isn’t conducted properly, will you bear the responsibility? Or, are you just a small county police chief who has an opinion on me?"

"No, no!"

Director Geng kept his head low, sweat streaming down his forehead.

Repeatedly apologizing, he said, "Director Zhang, you manage everything. All the police stations under Hengshui City are under your jurisdiction. How could we possibly understand your broader vision and depth?"

"I’ll go release him now!"

Director Zhang arrogantly ignored Director Geng.

A small police chief wasn’t worth his attention. The fact that he came here in person was already a sign of leniency. With things resolved, Qin Lan beamed with joy, saying, "Dear son-in-law, it’s all thanks to you."

"If you hadn’t come, who knows what kind of suffering your poor brother would have faced."

As she spoke, Qin Lan wiped the corners of her eyes.

"Hahaha..." Director Zhang laughed heartily, a flash of ambiguous light in his eyes as he stared at Qin Lan’s towering chest. "No problem, no problem. Where is my fiancée? I want to see if she is as beautiful as they say."

Qin Lan’s mouth twitched; she knew exactly what this old lecherous man was thinking. As long as her son could get out, whatever happened to anyone else didn’t concern her.

The atmosphere at the scene instantly changed because of Director Zhang’s arrival.

The crowd, like a bunch of quails, didn’t dare to voice their questions. Without the incitement from Li Xiaobao and the Yan and Xue families, they just wanted to watch the show and not get involved.

"Who is your fiancée?"

A clear female voice rang out. Qin Lan looked up to see Zhao Jiayao, her shoes covered in yellow mud and her face filled with resentment, approaching.

The girl speaking was in her early twenties, with slightly curly long hair, wearing a light-colored dress. Her simple and clean temperament carried an air of nobility. She glanced at Zhao Leyao with satisfaction, her eyes glued to her. "Is this Zhao Leyao? I’m very satisfied. Don’t worry, as long as we get married, Zhao Qiqiang could cause any trouble in Furong County, and I’d still cover for him."

"Oh, no need to be so polite in a family."

"I’ll thank you on behalf of Qiqiang first!" Qin Lan’s voice was high and cheerful, like an old madam in ancient times greeting guests.

Zhao Leyao let out a cold snort, glaring at Qin Lan, gritting her teeth. "You’ll be disappointed. Chen Dashan is still alive. Without a plaintiff withdrawing the lawsuit, even the mayor couldn’t help you. So many cameras are watching you; isn’t it ironic that your act will result in your own downfall?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Qin Lan’s eyes flashed with panic as she looked around. She didn’t see Chen Dashan’s hateful face in the crowd, and the hitman confirmed seeing Chen Dashan’s car plunge into the river. He was surely dead. This young girl must be trying to scare her.

Thinking this, Qin Lan gritted her teeth and glared at Zhao Leyao.

Zhao Leyao wasn’t afraid of Qin Lan at all. When she saw Director Zhang trying to embrace her, Zhao Leyao dodged. "Director Zhang, please respect yourself."

"Respect myself? Why are you acting so virtuous? You’re my woman; what’s wrong with touching you? Or can it only be in a room where no one else is present?"

Director Zhang’s face turned livid and ugly.

Qin Lan was anxious and glared at Zhao Leyao fiercely.

"Who is your woman?"

At this moment, a familiar male voice sounded. Han Yifei turned her head excitedly, seeing Chen Dashan with a mischievous smile, hands in his pockets, walking over from a distance.

"Chen Dashan!"

Han Yifei exclaimed with joy, jogging forward despite everyone’s gaze.

"Is it really Chen Dashan?"

"He’s not dead. What’s going on?"

"He’s with a woman, isn’t that Li Xiaobao’s wife, Zhao Yaqian?"

"Why are they together? What’s happening?"

The scene suddenly exploded.

The citizens looked at Chen Dashan and discussed loudly. Even Director Geng, standing on the steps, widened his eyes.

Director Zhang of the Wu’an Bureau frowned, scrutinizing Chen Dashan from head to toe, his face full of displeasure. "Are you Chen Dashan? If you can’t provide any evidence today, I’ll personally take you back to the Wu’an Bureau in Hengshui City."

There was clearly something unusual between this Chen Dashan and Zhao Leyao.

Daring to cuckold me, this kid must die!

"You... you, Chen Dashan... didn’t you drown in the river? How are you here?" Qin Lan stared at Chen Dashan, her eyes wide, stammering.

Chen Dashan said, "You’re disappointed. Not only am I alive, but Zhao Yaqian is also alive."

Li Xiaobao, who was sitting on the ground, instantly dared not make a sound out of fear.

Zhao Yaqian stepped forward, kicking Li Xiaobao in the head, her voice choking with tears. "You’re not even human! Colluding with outsiders to kidnap and torture me, just to frame Chen Dashan. If Chen Dashan hadn’t rescued me, I would probably be dead by now."

"Not only did you kill Chen Dashan’s brother, but you’re also so vicious that you even tried to kill me. When I tried to take a taxi to the police station yesterday, I was chased down. If it weren’t for Officer Sun and Dashan arriving in time, I would have been another wrongful death!"

Zhao Yaqian cried out, cursing and hitting Li Xiaobao. Li Xiaobao, head in his hands, kept begging for mercy. "I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me!"
