Chapter 181: Chapter 181 Divorce Assistance (7)_1 Chapter 181: Chapter 181 Divorce Assistance (7)_1 Seeing the smoked meat hanging in the kitchen, he took it down. Another police officer was searching for the bicycle in the house, but after looking around, he couldnât find it.
Li Familyâs heart was secretly rejoicing that Liao Laifu had ridden the bicycle out, when suddenly the sound of a bicycle bell came from the door, along with Liao Laifuâs suspicious voice, âWasnât I supposed to be planting seedlings? Why is the door still open?â
âXiaoyue, come quick, have dinner at my place tonight, my mom will make you smoked meat, itâs really delicious,â Liao Laifu said, trying to please someone.
âOkay,â another female voice responded, deliberately made to sound sweet and delicate.
âThen itâs settled,â Liao Laifu said, his voice containing a hint of excitement.
Pushing his bicycle into the house, feeling pleased with himself, he was shocked to see two police officers staring at him upon entering. His first instinct was to turn around and run!
This was too much like a guilty conscience.
The two police officers, experienced in handling cases, instantly sensed something was amiss. They moved at the same time, and in two or three steps they pinned him down on the ground, one on each side, and cuffed his hands behind his back.
Liao Laifuâs hands were cuffed behind his back, and he let out a pig-like squeal of pain, craning his neck towards Li Family crying for help, âMom, save me, save me, itâs killing me!â
Li Family, feeling immense heartache, ran over, circling the two police officers and yelling, âWhat are you doing? Why are you arresting my son? Let him go, let him go!â She was about to physically pull the policemen away, but a look from one of them made her retract her hands in fear.
âLiao Laifu??â The tall and skinny police officer picked up Liao Laifu, slapped his face, and sneered, âYou run as soon as you see us? Huh?â
âComrade police officer, youâve got it all wrong, I wasnât running, not at all, I was just going to take my girl back home, really!â Liao Laifu explained with a distressed look on his face, but his eyes were clearly shifty, filled with guilt.
âIs that so?â The police officer obviously didnât believe him and cuffed him.
Turning his head, the officer looked towards Ruan Jiandang and laughed, âWould never have thought your brother-in-law would be this guy. What a coincidence. This guy was part of a robbery a few days ago, and weâve been looking for him. We hadnât tracked him down to here yet, but today we caught him unexpectedlyâitâs like finding something without even looking, no effort at all.â
ââŠâ Ruan Jiandang.
The girl outside, called Xiaoyue, saw what was happening and was so scared that she turned and ran away.
In the end, Liao Laifu, along with the bicycle and the smoked meat, were taken to the police station.
After an interrogation, it was confirmed that Liao Laifu was indeed a member of the robbery a few days ago. Although he was just keeping watch and didnât directly participate in the crime, he was still to be detained. Whether or not he would be locked up would depend on the outcome of further investigation.
Li Family watched with wide eyes as her son was taken away, crying and wailing outside the police station.
As for the bicycle and the smoked meat, they wouldnât be returned until the debt to Ruan Jiandang was repaid.
Standing outside the police station, Ruan Jiandang looked at the incessantly wailing Li Family and Liao Zhaoji, while Liao Xinmin said, âThe money must be returned in three days, otherwise I will take both the bicycle and the meat back.â
Liao Xinmin looked at him, âCanât the Jiandang family discuss this nicely? After all these years of marriage between you and Zhaoji, do you really have to make such a fuss over such a trivial matter?â
Liao Xinminâs tone was one of helplessness, his eyes suggesting that Ruan Jiandang was the unreasonable one.
Liao Zhaoji was at the side, supporting Li Family, also looking sad and heartbroken at him.
