Chapter 739: Chapter 739: Price Hike upon Seating (1)_1

Hearing these words and seeing Ruan Jiandang’s nearly ferocious expression, Liao Zhaoji was frightened once again.

She had been married to Ruan Jiandang for more than a decade and truly had never seen him look like this.

His bloodshot eyes were fixated on her as if he wanted to devour her whole!

"Enough, show some restraint," Ruan Jianguo said. Although he was pleased that he was finally acting like a man, it was simply inappropriate in front of the children and the elderly.

At the sound of his voice, Ruan Jiandang’s agitated emotions had slightly subsided.

A police officer who was very familiar with Ruan Jianguo approached and said to Ruan Jiandang first, "Jiandang, cool your temper. If you have something to say, say it nicely, don’t turn a justified cause into an unjust one." After finishing, he pulled Ruan Jianguo outside.

"About this matter, Jianguo, I suggest you advise your brother to settle it privately. After all, she is the mother of the child and has parental rights. If this gets out, it won’t look good," the tall police officer said.

Ruan Jianguo was aware of this as well.

Even though what Liao Zhaoji did, bringing people to snatch the child, was wrong, if this matter were to really blow up, it might even lead to a lawsuit. Regardless of the outcome, the one who might get hurt would be the child.

"Alright, I got it. Thanks for today. I’ll treat you to a meal another day," Ruan Jianguo said with a smile.

"Oh, don’t mention it, that’s too polite."

Once inside the hall, Ruan Jianguo called Ruan Jiandang aside and discussed in whispers.

Liao Zhaoji had taken the child back and was now sitting on a stool, holding her, occasionally glancing at the two brothers deep in discussion, her eyes flickering.

At this moment, an old man hurried in from outside.

In scruffy, tattered clothes, the smell of alcohol on him was so strong that Ruan Jiaojiao almost vomited as he walked in.

The old man appeared very uneasy. As soon as he entered, he was bowing and scraping to the police officers at the station. He hadn’t noticed Ruan Jianguo and Ruan Jiandang in the corner yet; he only saw Liao Zhaoji seated on the stool. Going up to her, he kicked her, cursing, "You damned wife, always causing trouble for me. I’ll beat you to death."

As he said that, he was about to hit her, but the police officers stopped him.

"Enough, mind the place. You dare to lift a hand in front of us, do you think you are above the law?"

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I wasn’t going to hit her, just educate her," the old man quickly changed his attitude in front of the police, saying apologetically.

And Liao Zhaoji did not dare to treat this old man with the same attitude she used with Ruan Jiandang. Perhaps accustomed to being beaten, as soon as she saw the old man come in, she hung her head low, and even when she was almost hit, she did not dare utter a word.

Ruan Jiaojiao, nestled in the Ruanlin Family’s embrace, watched all this and suddenly felt very sad.

Not for Liao Zhaoji, but for her second uncle.

Her second uncle was tall and strong, with looks like her father, infinitely better than the old man, yet she dared to yell at her second uncle but not at this old man. Was it because she relied on her second uncle’s meek nature, and perhaps deep down he still cared for past affection, which made her so arrogant?

But what gives her the right? Liao Zhaoji is not worthy!

Although Ruan Jiaojiao internally disapproved of her second uncle’s weakness, which allowed her little brother to get hurt, her instinct to protect the weak made her really angry with Liao Zhaoji’s behavior.

The old man, not knowing whether he was truly unaware of Liao Zhaoji’s actions or just pretending, became very anxious after the police officers recounted the story. He walked towards the Ruanlin Family, continually apologizing with a very low posture.
