After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 750: Double the Happiness

Chapter 750: Chapter 750: Double the Happiness

Quan Sicheng was determined to pin the murder of the old master and its exposure on Qian Shanshan’s head.

Now, looking at Qian Shanshan, it was as if he wanted to skin her alive.

Although Qian Shanshan was unilaterally at odds with Shi Yaoguang, it had escalated into a deep hatred.

But she was still someone who knew when to bend.

Compared to Quan Sicheng, who had clearly lost control, turning to Shi Yaoguang for help now seemed to be the best approach.

She immediately pleaded with Shi Yaoguang, hoping she could help her out.

"Miss Shi, I was blinded by my own foolishness in the past, I shouldn’t have wanted to target you. I realize my mistake now, can you forgive me?"

She spoke with great urgency, "Even if you don’t want to forgive me, I am willing to pay the price for my mistakes. Can you find someone to rescue me?"

Hearing her plea, Shi Yaoguang narrowed her eyes, "Rescue you?"

"Yes, yes!" Qian Shanshan looked at her with eyes full of hope, "As long as you’re willing to rescue me, whatever price you ask, I will pay!"

"You say any price, is that true?"

"I swear! As long as you rescue me, I will definitely repay you!"

Just as Qian Shanshan finished speaking, a series of orderly footsteps came from the door.

"Miss Shi."

The newcomer greeted Shi Yaoguang and glanced at Quan Sicheng and Qian Shanshan.

Before Quan Sicheng could react, they moved to handcuff him.

After rescuing Qian Shanshan, she too was handcuffed.

Having done all this, the leader turned to Shi Yaoguang and said, "Thank you for your assistance with the case, Miss Shi. You have been a great help."

"It was no trouble," Shi Yaoguang replied without taking any credit.

Qian Shanshan, seeing how familiar Shi Yaoguang was with them, found it very hard to accept.

Her original plan was to trick Shi Yaoguang into rescuing her and then escape once she was out.

Unexpectedly, Shi Yaoguang had gone straight to the police.

Although these men weren’t dressed in police uniforms, their well-trained demeanor made her subconsciously categorize them as such.

At the same time, her look at Shi Yaoguang carried a few more shades of defiance.

She suspected that Shi Yaoguang was deliberately playing her.

Such thoughts...

were downright heart-piercing.

Shi Yaoguang had no mood to play games with others.

"Miss Qian, do you have any other questions?"

Qian Shanshan let out a cold snort, "Why didn’t you tell me that these people were called by you?"

"Why should I tell you?" Shi Yaoguang countered.

Qian Shanshan’s face darkened.

If she had known someone was coming to rescue her, she wouldn’t have groveled before Shi Yaoguang.

Shi Yaoguang saw the change in her expression and understood.

"These people are indeed not called by me; I still remember your request for help," she said, spreading her hands innocently. "If you really want to repay me, I won’t be coy. Whenever you get out of the regulatory agency, you can come and find me."

Having said that, Shi Yaoguang waved her hand and Qian Shanshan was taken away directly.

Qian Shanshan still had things to say, but no one paid any attention to her needs.

Quan Sicheng was awarded silver bracelets, his expression unchanging.

He had anticipated this day ever since he had killed the old master.

But he wasn’t worried.

Even if everyone knew he murdered the old master, without evidence, he was innocent.

Quan Sicheng’s thoughts were quickly known to Shi Yaoguang.

However, she didn’t care.

Quan Sicheng might have his clever schemes, but others had their ways over the wall as well.

It all came down to who had the better skills.

Shi Yaoguang deliberately found someone to help with the investigation, determined to find evidence of Quan Sicheng’s murder.

No one knew how Quan Sicheng did it, but somehow, the evidence against him had been completely buried.

"Miss Shi, our people have searched everywhere, but we just can’t find any evidence..."

The police had come to the same conclusion.

Quan Sicheng was quite pleased with himself, "You have no evidence to prove I killed anyone, I should be released without charges!"

Quan Jinbei felt little father-son affection for the old man.

Yet, upon learning that Quan Sicheng had killed him, as a son, he couldn’t just ignore it.

Thus, he took the matter of Quan Sicheng’s patricide to heart.

Seeing that they couldn’t find evidence of Quan Sicheng’s violence, he, too, was rather troubled.

Just when everyone thought Quan Sicheng couldn’t be argued against, the situation took a turn.

Unexpectedly.

Qian Shanshan, knowing that Quan Sicheng had killed his father, naturally had evidence.

Even without evidence, Qian Shanshan was a living witness.

Not to mention that Qian Shanshan did have evidence.

Quan Sicheng hadn’t anticipated Qian Shanshan’s involvement and was instantly petrified.

When Qian Shanshan saw him, she proudly raised her tail, "Didn’t expect this, did you? Just as I can threaten you, I can deal with you! Thinking of killing me? Ha!"

Listening to her mockery, Quan Sicheng said with a grim expression, "And what’s there for you to be so proud of?"

She was a prisoner just like him; what right did she have to laugh at him?

Quan Sicheng’s derision was plainly written on his face.

Qian Shanshan was unperturbed, "No matter what, my outcome will be better than yours!"

"At worst, I’ll be in prison for no more than ten years, while you, even if not sentenced to death, will spend a lifetime behind bars."

After speaking her piece, Qian Shanshan didn’t wish to continue interacting with Quan Sicheng and had the person guarding her take her away from there.

That was right.

At this moment, the two of them were meeting inside the detention center.

Double the misfortune, double the joy.

Cheng Linye too knew of Qian Shanshan’s imprisonment.

He felt somewhat poignant; it was unexpected that Qian Shanshan had dug her own grave.

He was even more grateful that he had not persisted in acting against Shi Yaoguang, otherwise Qian Shanshan’s present would be his tomorrow.

But now, all was well; he had come to his senses in time.

Currently, he was "using" Shi Yaoguang but had no intention of harming her or doing anything bad to her.

This thought alone was reassuring to him.

At the same time, he felt even more motivated and swiftly completed all the tasks assigned by Shi Yaoguang.

To say he was a competent farmhand was an understatement!

Shi Yaoguang was very satisfied with Cheng Linye’s work efficiency and was thinking of finding an opportunity to introduce him to higher-level departments.

After all, her main reason for taking in Cheng Linye was to hand him over to the state.

They say there’s a fine line between genius and madness.

Her job was to pull the madman back from the brink and transform him into a genius.

Luckily, Cheng Linye was unaware of the problems that awaited him; his mind was consumed with completing the tasks assigned by Shi Yaoguang so that he could control Bai Tangyuan, the love child, and in turn hold leverage over Shi Yaoguang.

However.

What he hadn’t anticipated was.

Before he completed the tasks, Bai Tangyuan’s identity was exposed.

Or rather, it was Bai Ruoxi who had exposed it deliberately.

The specifics of the reason are complicated, but to sum it up, Bai Ruoxi had met her true love and didn’t want Bai Tangyuan’s paternity to become a stepping stone preventing her from pursuing her love, so she clarified Bai Tangyuan’s identity to the world on her own initiative.
