Chapter 192: Chapter 192: The Sister-in-law Gets Bitten by a Snake!

Before long, two cars arrived at the location, and the burly man hurriedly approached them.

"You’re the ones that brat sent to deliver the money, right?"

"I’ve been impatiently waiting, it’s good you’re here, just hand over the money quickly, and we’ll call it even today, we won’t pursue the matter of you damaging the road."

The burly man was eagerly anticipating the two hundred thousand to be handed over.

Before he could finish speaking, the two cars came to a stop, the doors opened, and whoosh whoosh whoosh—several police officers sprang out of the cars.

Leading them was none other than Wu Kai, clutching a gun, the barrel aimed straight at the burly man’s head.

"We are from the County Criminal Police Force, everyone hit the ground and stay put!"

"Anyone who resists, I’ll shoot them dead on the spot!"

"Get down, and make it quick!"

Suddenly, the burly man’s smile froze on his face, and under Wu Kai’s harsh command, he didn’t dare to resist, obediently lying face down on the ground.

Once the burly man was down, his accomplices also lay on the ground, allowing the police officers to come up and cuff them.

Once they were apprehended, the burly man said, "I recognize you, you’re Captain Wu. There’s been a mistake; we haven’t done anything wrong. We just wanted the kid to compensate for the damage to the road. Why are you arresting us?"

Wu Kai retorted, "Driving into the mountains and damaging the road, demanding two hundred thousand in compensation—isn’t that extortion? I’d like to know how on earth a dirt road in the mountains is so easily damaged, how it became your private road, and why you are demanding two hundred thousand? It looks to me like you’re not extorting but highway robbery!"

Wu Kai was an experienced detective, with a sharp tongue, he could escalate a situation in a minute, turning extorition into highway robbery.

These bastards, picking on all the wrong things to do, daring to extort two hundred thousand from his buddy Xu Qianli—now that they were in his grasp, he was determined to give them a thorough punishment.

Upon hearing Wu Kai’s words, the burly man immediately lamented, pleading for mercy, and even mentioned his boss, the big boss from the city, Feng Jiang, asking Wu Kai to spare them in consideration of Feng Jiang.

At this moment, Xu Qianli had walked over with Liang Yueru and Liang Mi, and came close.

Wu Kai quickly approached, speaking in a low voice, "Buddy, these guys work for the big boss from the city, Feng Jiang. What exactly is going on, and what should be done about this?"

Dealing with a few thugs wasn’t difficult, but it became tricky with Feng Jiang backing them.

After all, he was only from Jiang City County Criminal Police Force, and had no jurisdiction in the city proper.

"So here’s what happened..."

Xu Qianli recounted the incident in full detail, then brought up how the matter should be handled.

These were just a few insignificant lackeys, not worth much—take them back to the station, give them a hard time, and then let them go.

The key to this whole affair was Feng Jiang; he needed to arrange a meeting with Feng Jiang to thoroughly understand the situation.

For Wu Kai, this was an easy task. He immediately agreed, signaled his colleagues, and took the thugs away.

Before leaving, he purposefully gave Liang Mi a glance, thinking to himself how lucky his buddy was, managing to find a beauty who looked so much like the superstar Liang Mi.

Once Wu Kai had left, Xu Qianli turned his gaze to Liang Mi.

"Little sister-in-law, what do you think, using this place as an outdoor base for shooting your new film?"

"I’m not boasting, but natural scenery like we have here in Qingshan Town, you’d have a hard time finding elsewhere."

"In recent years, as various regions continuously open up and the economy blooms, some natural resources are inevitably sacrificed."

"Places as remote and poor as Qingshan Town are the only ones that have kept such beautiful natural scenery intact. It’s incredibly rare," Xu Qianli strove to sell Qingshan Town to Liang Mi. "If you miss out on this village, you won’t find another store like it. Why not make the decision right now?"

As long as he could get Liang Mi’s new movie set in Qingshan Town, it would be like attracting a golden Phoenix—definitely a bargain.

Liang Mi said, "The scenery here is really nice, just too beautiful. I’m very satisfied. But you also know the situation here. Feng Jiang has already contracted it, and other places might be contracted by others too. The natural scenery could very well be destroyed. If we can’t stop that, even if I wanted to, fixing the shooting location here would be pointless."

"Leave this matter to me!"

"With me, Xu Qianli, on the scene, I will not allow anyone to massively damage Qingshan Town’s lush greenery and good landscape."

"So, why not just settle on this place?" Xu Qianli said.

Liang Yueru took Liang Mi’s small hand, "Come on, don’t worry. Sis gives you her word, what Xu Qianli says, he does."

Liang Mi said, "Sis, why do you trust him so much? At this rate, you’ll be sold off without even realizing it."

Turning her head, Liang Mi glared at Xu Qianli with no politeness and then spoke.

"I’m warning you, although I can’t stop you from being with my sister, if you dare to treat her badly or bully her, I will never let you off easy!"

"I might just be a celebrity, but I have my own connections. Cleaning up a small-town civil servant like you in Jiang City would be too easy!"

"I’m not joking, what I say, I do!" Liang Mi fiercely warned Xu Qianli.

She really did not have a good opinion of Xu Qianli, but her sister liked him, and they were already involved.

For now, she couldn’t break them up, so she had to temporarily accept their relationship and wait to see how things developed.

Maybe her sister would come to her senses one day and kick Xu Qianli to the curb.

As they were talking, Liang Mi suddenly felt an urgent need to pee. She looked around and didn’t see a restroom anywhere, so she quietly asked Xu Qianli, "Where’s the bathroom around here?"

Xu Qianli laughed, "The world is vast, and in the mountains and wild, anywhere is convenient. Why need a restroom? Little sister-in-law, if you need to go, just find a bush for cover. Think of it as fertilizing nature."

What, urinate just anywhere?

This was completely outrageous to Liang Mi; her strict upbringing meant she had never done such a thing in her life.

But surrounded by mountains, it seemed there was no other choice. She dashed off toward a distant grove and dived in.

As soon as Liang Mi left, Xu Qianli wrapped his arms around Liang Yueru’s slender waist.

Seeing that Xu Qianli was about to take advantage, Liang Yueru quickly spoke up, "No, my sister will be back soon. What if she sees us? It’s already embarrassing enough that she caught us being intimate at the White Cloud Tea House; I don’t want to be embarrassed again."

"What’s there to be afraid of? She ran so far away; she won’t be back anytime soon."

"Come on, just let me kiss you, just for a moment."

Xu Qianli didn’t let go, but instead tightened his hold on Liang Yueru and aggressively kissed her red lips.

Her lips captured by Xu Qianli’s, Liang Yueru stopped resisting, reached up to wrap her arms around his neck, and began to kiss him back passionately. Their lips and tongues entwined.

As they were engaged in their fervent embrace, a scream suddenly came from the trees in the distance.

"Ah, a snake!"

"Hiss... my leg..."
