Chapter 808: Chapter 777 Investigation, Cause and Effect

Everyone was pondering this issue.

Qin Li thought for a moment and said, "Now we have two things to do, one is to find the eyewitnesses from that day to prove Jingli’s innocence; the other is to figure out what exactly Lin Xiaoru wants."

"What does she want?" He Tiantian sneered, "There are only two possibilities, the first is to take revenge on Jingli; the second is for money. But by getting Jingli sent to jail, she wouldn’t benefit, so I think the second possibility is more likely, she wants money."

On hearing this, everyone deeply agreed.

Wu Youliang nodded and said, "I also think it might be for money."

"If it’s for money, then it’s easy to deal with, we can just give her the money," Mother Wu choked up, eager to get the matter over with so that her daughter-in-law wouldn’t have to suffer at the police station.

The others were speechlessly silent, exchanging glances. If they gave in once, they would have to give in countless times.

Lin Xiaoru would continue to extort them, pretending to be a victim.

"Hey, let’s split up and get to work," Wu Youliang said. It wasn’t that he was unwilling to part with the money, but the whole situation was just too disgusting.

Anyway, ever since Lin Xiaoru appeared, there would be no peace at home.

Huang Jingli’s family, though they were hateful, still cared about saving face, but Lin Xiaoru was a shameless person who would do anything to achieve her goals.

"Okay!" He Tiantian and the others nodded, quickly made some food for Mother Wu and the child, and then took their leave.

That evening when Tiantian got home, Jiang Lifang had also finished work.

"What exactly happened?" Jiang Lifang asked, wanting to know the full story, as Lin Xiaoru was a scheming person and had to be guarded against.

This time, she bullied Huang Jingli, but if the interests were significant enough, she would also target the Huo Family.

After all, her daughter-in-law once had a conflict with her.

But actually, as long as it could bring benefits to Lin Xiaoru, she wouldn’t care about holding grudges.

In the morning, after He Tiantian left the hospital, Jiang Lifang had asked someone in the shadows protecting her to investigate Lin Xiaoru’s past and the current situation.

Although there wasn’t much time and no detailed information was available, they still managed to get a general idea about Lin Xiaoru.

As for her history in Qijia Village, there was no need to mention it.

But in Nan City, Lin Xiaoru had maintained ambiguous relationships with no less than ten men, and it was also found out that her current goal was to extort money for an abortion.

"The situation is like this..." He Tiantian recounted everything she had witnessed and heard that day to Jiang Lifang, to see if they could find any favorable witnesses tomorrow.

After listening, Jiang Lifang sighed and said, "Lin Xiaoru is just a can of worms and moreover, she’s calculating. It won’t be easy for Huang Jingli to settle this amicably this time, and it’s likely going to cost a lot of money."

"Mum, do you think so too?" He Tiantian asked, noting that everyone had previously assumed Lin Xiaoru was out for extortion.

"Yes," Jiang Lifang replied. "That woman probably just saw Huang Jingli was easy to bully and her family had money, so she came up with such a plan. Giving her money this time is fine, but who can guarantee that Lin Xiaoru will restrain herself in the future?"

"Ah!" He Tiantian sighed, "Logically, my feud with Lin Xiaoru is bigger, so if anyone is looking for trouble, she should be looking for me. But people bully the weak and fear the strong. She knows if she comes to trouble me, I would certainly make her regret it. Not just because of my abilities, but also the Huo Family’s power is something she cannot shake. If one day Lin Xiaoru has enough capital or interests to back her up, she would not hesitate to come after me. She is someone who carefully evaluates her chances; she’s also ruthless."

Jiang Lifang felt some relief that her daughter-in-law could see this point as well.

Being aware of potential dangers is good!

"Yes, we must investigate this thoroughly and not let Lin Xiaoru succeed," Jiang Lifang said. "However, Lin Xiaoru did indeed lose a child and will gain sympathy, so either way, your classmate will probably have to pay."

"Have to pay even if falsely accused?" He Tiantian frowned. How could there be such a law?

"Yes, it’s just a matter of how much," Jiang Lifang said. "You are quite busy at this time too. I will send someone to investigate, so don’t worry, just focus on your work."

He Tiantian nodded, "Today is the only day I can; I have to work tomorrow and won’t have any free time. I can only ask Mum to help me look into it."

"Yes, I will," Jiang Lifang said. "The meal is ready, come and eat."

While Jiang Lifang and He Tiantian were discussing this, Cui Ying also spoke with Huashan about the issue upon returning home.

After hearing the whole story, Huashan finally shook his head and chuckled, "I saw Li Mingkai and Lin Xiaoru arguing on the street the day before yesterday. But since I don’t get along with them, I didn’t approach them. Li Mingkai is a man but resorted to hitting a woman."

"Li Mingkai really got involved with Lin Xiaoru?" Cui Ying asked, recalling that when she last saw them, they were only talking and there hadn’t been overly intimate gestures.

"Yes, I guess the child was likely Li Mingkai’s," Huashan said. "Li Mingkai probably doesn’t want to take responsibility. Lin Xiaoru wouldn’t let it go, and so they ended up fighting."

"Take responsibility?" Cui Ying scoffed. "Does Lin Xiaoru think she’s so attractive that Li Mingkai would take responsibility? To curry favor in Qijia Village, that man has done plenty of dirty deeds! He will absolutely not take responsibility unless Lin Xiaoru can offer him sufficient benefits."

"That’s right," Huashan agreed. "And now that she has had a miscarriage, even if we find a witness to Lin Xiaoru’s antics today, Huang Jingli and Wu Youliang will still have to pay, just a bit less."

Huashan’s view was the same as Jiang Lifang’s,

"Hehe, for someone like Lin Xiaoru, isn’t there a way to deal with her?" Cui Ying said contemptuously. Without bothering her, she would come and find trouble for no reason; if you fought back, she’d play dumb and extort you.

Shameless!

Huashan smiled slyly, "Actually, it’s quite simple to deal with Lin Xiaoru, and there’s no need for Huang Jingli to get involved. Just send an anonymous letter to Li Mingkai’s wife, Qi Zhenzhen, and that woman will deal with Lin Xiaoru properly. Moreover, it’s not without foundation; the relationship between Li Mingkai and Lin Xiaoru really exists, so it’s not framing him."

"Yes, even if Li Mingkai wasn’t the mastermind behind this, he’s an accessory to it," Cui Ying laughed. "Tomorrow, I’ll suggest to Wu Youliang indirectly to get him to do it."

The reason Cui Ying didn’t do it herself was that she had no cause and effect relationship with Li Mingkai and Lin Xiaoru; interfering would only complicate matters unnecessarily.

Every wrong has a source, every debt has a debtor.

Wu Youliang and Huang Jingli could do it openly because they have to face the consequences of the seeds that Lin Xiaoru and Li Mingkai had sown.
