Even After My Death-Chapter 644 - 547 The Police Have Arrived

Except for Qi Xingzhou, everyone present knew the identity of the middle-aged woman who suddenly burst in — it was Li Fu’s wife, Zhong Zhiying.

Zhong Zhiying hurriedly ran to Li Fu’s side and knelt down to help him up, incessantly asking, "Hubby, what happened to you?"

"Handcuffs, handcuffs..." Li Fu immediately raised his hand.

At this moment, his wrists and ankles were cuffed with the handcuffs Qi Xingzhou carried, making it impossible for him to stand up!

Zhong Zhiying noticed the things on Li Fu’s wrists and ankles and immediately tried to pull them off with brute force, but even with all her might, the handcuffs wouldn’t budge and remained securely fastened on Li Fu. freēnovelkiss.com

Zhong Zhiying’s gaze shifted and she finally noticed Qi Xingzhou standing across from her, whom she had ignored for a long time.

"Was it you!" Zhong Zhiying glared up at Qi Xingzhou.

The others standing at the gateway of the yard, who were watching the commotion, were all familiar faces from the village, except for the handsome young man in front of her who seemed like a stranger.

Moreover...

Her gaze couldn’t help but drift towards the house behind Qi Xingzhou; her eyes flickered, wanting to ask something but fearful of exposing too much; she could only put on a show of strength to cause trouble for Qi Xingzhou and question his identity, "Who are you? What are you doing at my house? And what are you trying to do to my man!"

"Your man? Do you also live in this house?" Qi Xingzhou asked coldly, frowning slightly.

"It’s none of your damn business where I live!" Zhong Zhiying cursed.

Li Fu, lying on the ground, became impatient, "Why waste so much breath talking to him? Look at me now, this is what he has done! Hurry up and get the keys from him then we can leave."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice slightly, "He has an accomplice who has already gone upstairs! Our secret might have been discovered!"

He deliberately did not mention that Qi Xingzhou had already called the police, fearing that Zhong Zhiying might abandon him and flee by herself.

Upon hearing Li Fu’s words, Zhong Zhiying felt dizzy and disoriented.

The secret on the third floor... had been discovered!

Zhong Zhiying’s look towards Qi Xingzhou suddenly turned fierce.

She wasn’t ignorant of the potential consequences she and Li Fu could face if the girl imprisoned on the third floor was discovered by others. That was why she loathed anyone who came into their house uninvited, trying to uncover the secret.

Qi Xingzhou was the person she despised the most at this moment!

"How dare you meddle in our affairs! Let my husband go immediately!" Zhong Zhiying shouted and charged towards Qi Xingzhou.

After calling the police, Qi Xingzhou had put his phone away and was now holding Jiang Ning’s phone.

Jiang Ning had taught Qi Xingzhou that, during live streaming, he should try not to film other people’s faces to avoid unnecessary outcomes.

Qi Xingzhou remembered Jiang Ning’s advice and kept the phone camera pointed downwards during the live stream so that viewers couldn’t fully see the others.

The audience in the live stream was aware this was Jiang Ning’s common practice, thus they had developed their own ability to deduce the situation just from the dialogue heard, like a Sherlock Holmes.

[They really are a pair; their skin is so thick!]

[That’s why they are a couple!]

[I think she’s an accomplice! Qi Xingzhou should arrest her too!]

[...]

Though the viewers in the live stream couldn’t see Zhong Zhiying nor were they aware of what she intended to do, the other villagers present could see everything — Zhong Zhiying was clearly trying to use her strong, robust body to overpower Qi Xingzhou.

Despite knowing Qi Xingzhou was skilled, Zhong Zhiying, a woman who had been working in the fields for years, was no less strong than a man!

If Zhong Zhiying had been a man, it might have been easier for Qi Xingzhou to handle her, just like with Li Fu, where there weren’t many concerns since both were men.

Zhong Zhiying was still a woman after all, and Qi Xingzhou, a young man, couldn’t possibly get into a physical altercation with a woman.

"Be careful!"

Someone couldn’t help but shout out.

Everyone secretly sweated for Qi Xingzhou from behind the scenes.

However, as it turned out, everyone’s worries were unnecessary.

When Zhong Zhiying charged over like a rampaging bull, Qi Xingzhou deftly dodged and did not confront her head-on.

Seeing this, Zhong Zhiying thought the young man was scared, and she became somewhat proud and even more unrestrained as she reached out to grab Qi Xingzhou, seemingly determined to snatch the keys from him.

Qi Xingzhou calmly put his phone back in his pocket.

The live stream shook for a moment, then went dark; only some noises remained, leaving the audience to imagine the rest.

The viewers in front of the screen were eager:

[What a letdown!]

[This cool guy can’t handle it! Every time it comes to a crunch moment, he leaves us hanging! Jiang Ning never did that! point point.jpg]

[From that woman’s reaction, it’s clear she’s also in the know. Seeing her husband get caught, she doesn’t admit her faults or repent; instead, she attacks Qi Xingzhou as if she has taken a hatred towards him. Disgusting!]

[Ah, this couple, truly a match made in... stink!]

[No worries, the more they resist now, the heavier the punishment they’ll get when sentenced by the court!]

Just as the netizens were vigorously commenting, a frantic voice from Zhong Zhiying came through the blurred live stream: "What are you doing! Let go of me! Let me go!"

Soon after, everyone seemed to also hear police sirens approaching from afar.

The audience jolted: Here it comes! The police have finally arrived!

Compared to the live stream viewers, the villagers who had been watching in Li Fu’s yard saw more clearly how Qi Xingzhou subdued Zhong Zhiying and heard the siren earlier.

The urgent and loud siren, carrying supreme authority, echoed into everyone’s ears, sending chills down the spines of all present.

Two police cars drove directly to the gate of Li Fu’s house; those blocking the entrance instinctively moved aside, clearing a path in the middle.

The car doors were opened from inside, and several uniformed officers stepped out from the cars, four male and two female officers.

They had just received a call from Qi Xingzhou, and also from their superior, knew the call was related to Jiang Ning and quickly grasped the crux of the situation after finding Jiang Ning’s live stream.

"Hello, Mr. Qi, my name is Chen, and I’m in charge of this response," Officer Chen walked into the yard with confident strides, extending his hand towards Qi Xingzhou.

"Officer Chen," Qi Xingzhou nodded slightly, and the two shook hands lightly.

By Officer Chen’s side was a younger-looking officer, apparently a scribe.

Having been with Jiang Ning for a while and having gone through numerous reporting incidents, Qi Xingzhou was nearly an expert in these procedures.

But before proceeding, he took out his phone that was still live streaming and asked, "I’m still live streaming, is that a problem?"

The audience in the live stream heard Qi Xingzhou’s words and shouted, [Oh no! Don’t! We haven’t had enough yet!]

Officer Chen smiled knowingly, "It’s alright, we were actually watching your live stream when we came."

[Hahaha! This cop is so real! Very down-to-earth!]

[Wow, I loudly say wow, this can be said outright too?!]

[Woah, let me guess, there must be quite a few people from relevant departments loafing and watching the live stream right now!]
