"That man’s a lunatic! Ugh, if I’d known, we should have moved out sooner!" Su Yun said, still shaken.

Qin Jiao shook her head. "Mom, that’s Feng Lan’s brother. There’s no telling what he’ll do in the future. We’re not even that rich yet, and they’re already so jealous they’re breaking in to rob us. What happens when we actually have money? He’d probably move on to kidnapping and murder!"

Su Yun froze.

Qin Zhonghui nodded. "People like him should be taken straight to the police station and sentenced to death!"

There are plenty of bad people in the world, but Feng Dayong was Feng Lan’s own brother. It was like keeping a venomous snake at their side. Who knew when it might suddenly strike?

Su Yun nodded in agreement with her husband and daughter. But then she looked around and asked in surprise, "Hey, where’s Xiao Shi?"

Qin Jiao immediately said, "I was worried something might happen, so I sent Xiao Shi over to Shen Yi’s. Right, Shen Yi?"

Shen Yi caught on instantly and nodded. "That’s right. I heard the commotion and already called the police. They should be here any minute. Once we get these two to the station, we can bring Xiao Shi back."

Qin Zhonghui and his wife thought that made sense. They immediately carried Feng Dayong downstairs, where Feng Lan was also tied up.

Feng Lan was still jeering and cursing. "You dare tie me up? My brother will kill you! Heh, by the time you got back upstairs, that brat Xiao Jiao would’ve become my sister-in-law, right? HAHAHA! Qin Zhonghui, Su Yun, so much for treasuring that little bitch Qin Jiao, I..."

She stopped mid-sentence when she saw her brother, his face beaten to a pulp and his limbs tied up like a trussed crab. She fell instantly silent.

Completely unharmed, Qin Jiao walked right up to Feng Lan. "Aunt," she said, "so you’ve never been able to stand the sight of me. What a coincidence—the feeling is mutual. You brought Feng Dayong here to do this. If Uncle still doesn’t divorce you after this, then I will never again acknowledge anyone from the Qin family in our hometown!"

Seeing the tables had turned, Feng Lan’s demeanor softened. She said hastily, "Xiao Jiao, what are you talking about, divorce? Your uncle and I have a great relationship! I even gave the Old Qin Family a healthy baby boy."

"Heh. So you think having a son is some kind of get-out-of-jail-free card? Save your breath, Auntie. You can save it for the police."

The moment she heard they had called the police, Feng Lan nearly collapsed from fear. She immediately started crying and pleading with Qin Zhonghui. "Brother-in-law, I know you have the kindest heart! My brother and I... we didn’t really mean to do anything! We were just... temporarily blinded by greed! Besides, your family didn’t suffer any real loss, right? Xiao Jiao is fine! And look at my brother, you’ve beaten him this badly. How about we just call it even? We’re all family, why call the police!"

The thought of what had almost happened to his daughter still made Qin Zhonghui tremble with rage.

His face was ashen as he said, "I’m sending you to prison today, and nothing anyone says will change my mind!"

A short while later, the police on the night shift arrived. They didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the pitiful state of the two home invaders. But when they heard the invaders were relatives who had also intended to assault the family’s daughter, the two officers couldn’t stomach it either.

As Feng Lan and Feng Dayong were taken to the station, the Qin family, along with Shen Yi who had made the call, also had to go to give their statements. Before they left, Qin Jiao handed some documents to the two officers.

"I came across these by chance," she said. "I was planning on bringing them to you for investigation. Who knew all this would happen? I might as well give them to you now."
