Chapter 2196: Chapter 2198: Jiang Nuan vs. Fu Yi
"We donât care about the money inside, but you must return the stuff to us! Iâm telling you, Iâm not falling for your usual tricks. Believe it or not, I can cripple you right in front of the police today and walk out of the station tomorrow without a scratch!"
Thereâs a bail system in Mahali, so in a way, as long as you pay enough, any crime can become non-criminal.
It wasnât the first time Fu Yi saw her baring her teeth like a fierce wolf cub, but this time Jiang Nuan was even more impressive than he imagined.
"I..."
Jiang Nuan pressed her head against the door, speaking in a slow, warning tone, "Think it through before answering me - my patience is limited."
The old womanâs eyes finally showed fear. After pondering for half a second, intimidated by Jiang Nuanâs threat, she confessed obediently.
"I used the money in the suitcase for rent, there wasnât much cash inside, and after I paid the rent, it was all gone."
"What about the passport, wallet, and clothes?"
"I didnât know the PIN for the bank card in the wallet, couldnât use it, and didnât dare keep it, so I threw it in the trash. The same with the passport, tossed it in a nearby trash can. The clothes materials looked good so I couldnât bear to throw them away, gave them to someone else. Initially, I also wanted to throw the suitcase away but later thought, my place needs a wardrobe, so I brought it back."
She didnât dare look at Jiang Nuan, mumbling softly, "If Iâd known youâd come looking, I wouldnât have kept it."
Jiang Nuan laughed out of anger, "I tracked you down through airport surveillance, even if you tossed the suitcase, I have evidence that you stole it!"
The old woman puffed out her hefty chest, shamelessly saying, "I spent all the money; if you want the clothes, I can find them and give them back. Everything else, I donât know who picked it up. I canât pay it back. If you want to arrest me, just do it. I donât care, anyhow, I donât have food for tomorrow; prison meals are free and a million times better than this dump."
Jiang Nuan scoffed at her "dead pig isnât afraid of boiling water" attitude, let go of her, stood aside with arms crossed, looking calm and collected, "Fine. You have a theft record; this counts as a repeat offense. People like you, caught again, could get at least three or four years, at least you wonât be starving."
Switching her tone, "But I heard the womenâs prison in Mahali isnât easy living - the inmates have cliques and hierarchies. With your build, you canât even beat me, let alone murderers in there. If you donât know any guards and canât fight, imagine staying three years there, might drive you insane."
Near breaking point, the old woman croaked, "...What do you want?"
Jiang Nuan, "Nothing much, just want to know where the passport is."
"I donât know, I threw it in the trash. I usually toss anything other than money."
"Which trash can, take me there."
After two threats, this time the old woman dared not play tricks, leading them through narrow, filthy alleys to a large garbage dump. The dump had towering piles of trash with flies swarming around. With at least ten tons of waste, finding the passport among it was nearly impossible.
The woman, fearing sheâd be forced to search, pre-empted, "They burn unwanted trash here daily. Those things I threw away two days ago; your passport might have been burned..."
