Chapter 441 - 375 Trouble
Madam Rong almost laughed out loud at her words.
"We harm you? You’ve harmed plenty on your own, whatever happens to you is what you deserve..."
"...No, if you won’t forgive me, then I won’t leave, let me go..." Li Juan started struggling desperately.
Trying to free herself from Rong Yan’s grasp.
But Rong Yan’s grip was extremely strong because of her struggle, so instead of grabbing her by the back of her collar, she switched to pulling her arm.
Just like that, ignoring Li Juan’s cries, she dragged her forcibly to the door of the house and then threw her onto the ground.
Looking at Li Juan trying to get up and charge back into her house, she sneered, "If you dare step half a foot into my house, I don’t mind using some effort to send you to the police station right now."
Li Juan was intimidated by her expression because she remembered that last time Xu Ke’s mother was dragged away by Rong Yan like this.
This woman had a heart of stone, she meant what she said and wasn’t joking.
Right away, Li Juan froze completely, not daring to take a step forward.
However, she tried to plead for herself again, "Rong Yan, I really did wrong this time, please forgive me... How much money do you want? I can give you money, that should be okay, right?"
Rong Yan scoffed, "No matter how much money you give, it’s useless... Look over there."
She pointed as she spoke the last sentence.
After hearing her words, Li Juan immediately got a bad feeling and subconsciously walked towards where she pointed, then froze solid.
The next second, all the color drained from her face... her expression filled with fear.
Then, her legs gave way, and she fell back onto the ground.
It was over, truly over.
Rong Yan watched her coldly, feeling no sympathy for her because this person wasn’t worth any pity.
For Li Juan at that moment, time was excruciating.
Soon after, she suddenly got up and knelt down in front of Rong Yan, continuously bowing her head, "I’m sorry, Rong Yan, please let me go... I really was wrong..."
Rong Yan: ...
If you knew this, why did you do it in the first place?
She didn’t start conflicts, but forgiving people who wronged her... even if the sun rose from the west, it would be impossible.
Coldly watching Li Juan continually bow her head, even knocking it till it bled, she remained unmoved.
Clearly, the sight of Li Juan doing this, along with the arrival of three policemen... made all the arguing bystanders at the alley entrance stop instantly.
Many people, confused, looked their way.
And Mother Li and her eldest son, Li Shi, immediately rushed over.
Ms. Li cursed loudly, "Rong Yan, why are you mistreating my daughter, you wretched woman?"
Her voice was very loud, so almost everyone in the alley heard it.
Madam Rong was even more infuriated upon hearing this.
She wanted to retort but was pulled back by Rong Wenming.
Madam Rong, now irate, glared fiercely at him. "Why are you pulling me? Didn’t you hear that old woman cursing our daughter?"
"The police are here..." Rong Wenming reminded her with a whisper.
Madam Rong originally wanted to say let them come, but the next second, she realized who had arrived, thus forcefully swallowing her words.
At that moment, the three police officers had already approached Rong Yan.
Originally, they had intended to enter the courtyard where Li Juan was... but the scene where Rong Yan dragged Li Juan to the door... happened to be witnessed by Qi Yan leading the team.
Without hesitation, they walked over to this side.
"Li Juan, there is a case that requires your cooperation with our investigation, come with us now."
Li Juan was so frightened that her face turned even whiter; she wanted to hide, "No, I won’t go..."
If she went, could she still come back? Certainly not.
Thinking of this, she became even more frightened, and then started shouting loudly at her mother and elder brother who were rushing over:
"Mom, elder brother, save me..."
Mother Li, who always doted on her daughter, and Li Shi, who was particularly compassionate towards his sister, could no longer hold back when they heard Li Juan’s cries.
They quickened their pace.
But before they could reach Li Juan, they were stopped by two police officers.
Mother Li shouted loudly, "What are you doing? Why are you bullying my daughter?"
Li Shi, facing the police, was somewhat cowardly.
After all... he felt slightly guilty.
Just a moment ago, after seeing his sister kowtowing to Rong Yan, he rushed over impulsively; now seeing the police, his mind returned.
So, he didn’t join his mother in making a scene.
This time, the team was still led by Qi Yan.
He kept a serious face, "Li Juan is involved in a case; she must come with us for an investigation. If you try to stop us, you are obstructing our work. Do you also want to be taken to the police station?"
Upon hearing this, Li Shi stepped back, then lowered his head, not making a sound.
But Mother Li, with her deep love for her daughter... she couldn’t believe her daughter had anything to do with any case.
"You’re talking nonsense, my daughter has always been obedient and kind-hearted; she’s even distressed by an ant’s suffering. How could she be involved in any case?"
Then she pointed her finger at Rong Yan.
Her face was full of anger: "Is it her? Is it her framing my daughter? This Rong has a bad heart, she has a grudge against my daughter, always causing my daughter trouble. If you must arrest someone, it should be her."
How could Madam Rong tolerate this?
She immediately retorted, "Your daughter kind-hearted? Her entire heart is black. If it weren’t for her hiring three thieves to come to my house... why would the police look for her?"
Mother Li was utterly shocked, then quickly retorted, "That’s nonsense, how could that be?"
Madam Rong sneered, "She herself came to our door to ask for forgiveness, what else is impossible... do you think the police came here for no reason?"
Qi Yan watched these two endlessly arguing, then sternly said, "Li Juan is connected with this burglary case. Now, come with us to cooperate with the investigation. If you obstruct, we will take you too."
He gestured to his subordinates.
The two police officers immediately approached Li Juan.
This time, among the police Qi Yan brought was a female officer, so she directly grabbed Li Juan, and after Qi Yan nodded,
she took her away.
Mother Li wanted to intervene, but seeing the police as if they would take her away the next second, her steps couldn’t move.
Seeing she was no longer obstructing, Qi Yan no longer bothered with her, and then turned his head to look at Rong Yan.
"We’ll discuss this matter with you after we complete our review."
