The woman's words stunned the old woman, who was also startled. She looked at her daughter with a shocked expression: "Girl, you...you shouldn't say such things again. Let's live well together. If you want revenge, we'll go find someone to take revenge on."

"Mom!" The woman finally broke down and burst into tears.

After a while, the crying inside stopped. The woman glanced at the two elderly people, gritted her teeth, and said, "Mom, I'm going to find that new police chief. So, I'm planning to send you to the countryside. You can take care of yourselves for a few days, okay?" The woman's face looked a little pale. The old lady hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded. "Child, I'll listen to you. But you have to promise me you'll live well and not try to kill yourself again. We have to live well."

"Yes, Mom, I know." The woman smiled through her tears. She knew that what she was about to do might be very difficult, and she might even be beaten, locked up, or abused. But she was no longer afraid. She was no longer afraid.

The woman wiped away her tears and said, "I'll go cook. After we eat, I'll take you and Dad back to the countryside." With that, she quickly ran to start a fire and cook.

Ma Guoliang was somewhat annoyed. He glanced at Pan Liting, then regained his usual wisdom and composure: "How do I know you won't lie to me?"

"No, no, don't worry, I would never lie to you. As long as you bring Jianmin back, I will definitely deliver the things to you." Pan Liting knew that the man in front of her was the most powerful man in Gaoshan County, so if he didn't believe her, she was doomed.

"You have to show some sincerity and make me believe you, not just talk the talk, right?" Ma Guoliang knew that although this was a very dangerous situation, he couldn't be hasty and couldn't let this woman see his true intentions.

"This..." Pan Liting hesitated. She knew it was normal for the other party not to believe her. After all, she had only just received this thing, and she herself did not know if she had the original copy.

"Why don't you take out the things first, at least let me know you're not lying to me, right?" Ma Guoliang's voice was steady, and his tone was very kind and friendly, without any unreasonableness.

Pan Liting hesitated. Should she tell the other party the truth? If the man in front of her knew that she didn't have the original copy, would he hold her accountable later and turn his back on her?

Her heart started pounding.

When Ma Guoliang saw her like this, he felt something was wrong. It seemed that the thing might not really be in this woman's hands. Could it be in Li Jianmin's hands?

He was startled. If it was really in Li Jianmin's hands, then it would be troublesome. If he couldn't rescue it, then it was hard to say whether Li Jianmin would hand it over to Lin Ying.

"The original of this thing is in your husband's hands, right?"

"How did you know?" Pan Liting was startled and immediately covered her mouth with both hands, looking at Ma Guoliang in shock. She was no match for Ma Guoliang.

Ma Guoliang's heart sank. Sure enough, it wasn't in this woman's hands. This was a bit troublesome. Was it really in Li Jianmin's hands?!

Ma Guoliang was in a state of panic and confusion. It seemed that he had really managed to get Li Jianmin out.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Pan Liting and slowly said, "You should go back first. I will save your husband, but it won't be that quick. I need some time."

"Three days, is three days okay?" Pan Liting held up three fingers.

Ma Guoliang frowned. Three days was indeed a long time. If Li Jianmin couldn't be rescued in three days, he might have already betrayed Liu Yixiong, and might even have implicated Wang Dalong as well. Three days was enough.

"Okay, three days it is. I'll go rescue your husband. You have your husband hand over the things to me. One hand over the person, the other hand over the things, how about that?"

"Okay, thank you, Secretary Ma!" Pan Liting was overjoyed to see that the other party had agreed and quickly thanked him repeatedly.

As soon as Pan Liting got out of the car, Ma Guoliang's face was so dark it could drip water. He sat in the car, not daring to utter a sound. The driver could tell that Ma Guoliang was on the verge of exploding with rage. He had never been threatened by a woman before, especially since she was Li Jianmin's wife!

"Let's go to Sishui Villa."

"Yes," the driver replied, and the car slowly drove into the street, disappearing into the city's torrent.

Unable to make up his mind, Zhao Jiu looked at Ding San and Ding Si in front of him, and then at Wang Gui. For a moment, he was undecided. If Wang Gui was not an undercover agent, then the undercover agent could only be Ding San or Ding Si. Wu Qi and Wu Ba had been ruled out as suspects.

"Wang Gui, go and bring me last month's account books so I can take a look," Zhao Jiu ordered. Wang Gui responded with a "yes" and turned to leave. He knew that Zhao Jiu suspected him again; someone must have reported him to Zhao Jiu. That was just the way he was—extremely suspicious.

Seeing that Wang Gui had finally left, Zhao Jiu looked at Ding San, then at Ding Si, clearly in a bad mood.

"Ding San, tell me, why do you guys get to use drugs in the shop, but I can't touch drugs here? You don't know that rule, do you?"

Ding San was startled and quickly looked at Zhao Jiu: "Ninth Master, don't worry, we absolutely didn't touch that thing. Now that we're here, we'll definitely follow your orders and abide by your rules. You can rest assured!"

"Don't worry? Ding San, do you really think I, Zhao Jiu, am blind?" Zhao Jiu's lips curled slightly, revealing a hint of disdain.

Ding San's heart skipped a beat. Had he been discovered? He glanced at Ding Si, who was still yawning and looked very tired.

Zhao Jiu frowned, glanced at the two men, and a strange smile appeared on his face: "Ding San, you know in your hearts whether you touched that thing or not." After saying that, Zhao Jiu deliberately glanced at the two brothers, and the expression in his eyes said it all.

"However, it's not impossible to get Ninth Master to drop the matter of you using fans, but you have to do something for me. If you succeed, everything you did before will be wiped clean. How about it?"

Ding San was startled, and Ding Si was overjoyed. They quickly nodded repeatedly, "Ninth Master, just give us your orders. We will definitely listen to you and handle things properly. Just give us your orders." After saying that, Ding Si was elated, and his face became rosy.

"It's simple. You two go to Louhua Village, find a guy named Yao Si, and get something from him. As long as you bring it back, your act of soliciting customers at the shop will be wiped clean. How about it?"

"Really? Ninth Master, you mean it?" Ding Si quickly stepped forward. He knew very well that if the company investigated, he would definitely be kicked out. Without Bu Qing's protection, they would have to start living a life of hiding again.

Now, he doesn't want to live that kind of life anymore; it's not a life fit for a human being.

"Of course, but if you don't get your things back, don't blame Ninth Master for being ruthless!"
