Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 114 A Narrow Escape
Wang Fei then told Bai Jing in detail how his older brother had gotten involved, since she was a police officer and knew better how to save a life.

After listening, Bai Jing was speechless. "Uncle Wang, do you mean he also has a stake in the commune's casino? If that's the case, I'm afraid I can't guarantee you anything." She knew all too well the purpose of this operation.

Because she knew this, she couldn't make any promises to Uncle Wang.

She didn't dare gamble on whether Uncle Wang's elder brother was an informant for the enemy.

What if she bets wrong?
Her life and fortune would be ruined.

She wasn't that selfless towards Uncle Wang; no one's life was more important than her own, except for her mother.

Upon hearing this, Wang Fei knew that he couldn't get through to Bai Jing either. "It's alright. I can't let you be in a difficult position, Xiao Jing." After saying that, he downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Bai Jing sighed, "Uncle Wang, don't be too pessimistic. What if something happens? After all, this matter hasn't been settled yet. At most, he'll be sent to a reformatory. With the family's help, his life can still be saved."

She couldn't say much, but she could offer some hope. If she really wanted to save people, she would have to ask Xiao Jin for some information.

"Xiao Jin, help me check Wang Chang's information." As long as it has nothing to do with external enemies, she can help Uncle Wang with this favor.

[Host received.]

While the three remained silent, Xiao Jin gave Bai Jing the information she had found out.

After reading it, Bai Jing's expression turned serious.

"Uncle Wang, let me ask you, has your elder brother brought anything home? Or taken anything he shouldn't have?" According to Xiao Jin's information, Wang Chang was pushed out as a scapegoat, and in order to avoid any accidents, those people hid a lot of things in Wang Chang's house.

Some were left there by others, and some he took back himself.

If Xiao Jin hadn't said that this matter had nothing to do with him and that he had been framed, she would have thought that Wang Chang was an enemy, given all the events.

On the surface, Wang Chang and his few self-proclaimed friends were the biggest bosses of the commune's gambling den. But in private, one of his friends was no ordinary person. He not only colluded with people in the town, but was also a mastermind who had been lying in wait for a long time.

"I don't know about this, because my elder brother's actions clash with mine in many ways, and my relationship with him isn't that good." Wang Fei's family wasn't well-off, but both brothers were capable and quite successful in their unconventional ways. This time, Wang Fei had gotten his hands on the black market.

His elder brother, because of his skills, went into the underworld.

The two brothers still share some blood ties, but when it comes to their principles of conduct, they are completely different.

Bai Jing felt that she couldn't act on this alone; what if she was framed?
"Uncle Wang, how about this? Let's not drink anymore. You're coming with me to the police station. This is quite serious. You should also tighten up your control over the black market recently. If possible, don't make any moves in the near future, and tell your men to stop messing around."

Bai Jing couldn't reveal much, but she wouldn't just stand by and watch them get caught.

"Xiao Jing, has something happened?" Wang Fei's heart immediately tightened.

"Don't ask, it won't do you any good. If possible, I'd like Uncle Wang and Uncle Zhong to help the Public Security Bureau provide some information."

This would make their path in the black market easier.

Ultimately, the extent to which the police crack down on the black market depends on that person's opinion.

“Okay, but I can go with you. However, your Uncle Zhong needs to make some arrangements. We can’t control the others, but we can’t let the people who follow us go without food.” Wang Fei is a responsible person. If he hadn’t been starving back then, he wouldn’t have entered this line of work.

Bai Jing nodded, "Okay, then Uncle Wang, come with me. Uncle Zhong can go down and make the arrangements, but I don't think there will be much time."

She didn't believe that the enemy had set up such a big scheme just to push someone out as a scapegoat; they must be trying to hide something.

But we'll have to go to Wang Chang's house to find out the specifics.

Or perhaps she could get the person's name and information from Wang Chang so that Xiao Jin could investigate. That's right, for Xiao Jin to investigate people and things, Bai Jing also needs to have that person's name and information; you can't just randomly name a person and investigate them thoroughly.

Dinner ended abruptly, leaving Zhong Qiming and Wang Fei feeling uneasy.

However, Bai Jing remained calm and, along with her Uncle Wang, went directly to find her captain.

Lin Huayu was having dinner at home with his comrades when he heard a knock on the door.

The door opened, and Xing Dali looked surprised to see who it was.

"Comrade Bai, what brings you here? Are you looking for your team leader?" Xing Dali stepped aside and called out to Lin Huayu inside the room, "Old Lin, Comrade Bai is looking for you."

If they came to our house, they must have something on their mind; otherwise, they wouldn't have come.

Bai Jing thanked Director Xing at the door and then waited for Lin to come out.

When Lin Huayu came out, he saw Bai Jing looking calm. "What happened?" Having worked together for so long, he knew Bai Jing quite well, and she looked like something was wrong.

"Captain Lin, Director Xing, how was your meal?" Bai Jing asked with a smile when she saw Captain Lin.

"Alright, just say what you need to say. I'm not hungry." With that, Lin Huayu started to grab his coat. "Old Xing, let's go to the station first."

Xing Dali was a little puzzled, but knowing his comrade well, he obediently picked up his clothes and called out into the room.

"Honey, you two should get some rest. We're heading out."

A woman carrying a child who looked to be about a year old hurried out of the house. "Dali, what happened?"

"Don't ask, just close the door. I'll be back later." Seeing his wife run out, Xing Dali explained to her gently again.

Seeing this, Xing Dali's wife stopped asking questions, simply hugged her child tightly, and after everyone left, she closed the door and locked it.

After leaving Director Xing's house, on the way to the bureau, Bai Jing recounted what had happened to her.

Lin Huayu was speechless. They were both just eating, so why could she get some important information just by eating?

"You're really amazing." Lin Huayu gave Bai Jing a thumbs up.

Bai Jing rolled her eyes at him. "I suspect there's more to Wang Chang's story. I want to go to Wang Chang's house to see what's going on." No matter what, she couldn't let those people make any more moves, or Wang Chang might not survive.

"By the way, Director Xing, where are the people you arrested last time being held? I'd like to see Wang Chang."

Whether it was because of herself or because of the case, she felt that Wang Chang needed to be protected.

After all, the information Xiao Jin gave him included the things he had unintentionally taken by mistake, and those things were hidden by those people in secret.

If they find out that the items were taken by Wang Chang, I'm afraid the entire Wang family will be implicated.

"Okay, let's go, I'll take you there."

No one complained about working late into the night.

Li Siyuan always followed Bai Jing around, helping her with her tasks. The longer they spent together, the more he realized how extraordinary Bai Jing was.

Despite being younger than me, she is far more capable than I am.
