Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 957 - Chapter 957 Chapter 956 Start

Chapter 957: Chapter 956 Start Chapter 957: Chapter 956 Start After surfacing, she was subdued again. Over and over, her temper grew increasingly foul.

The person she had always wanted to kill turned out to be her son, and after discovering the truth, her son wanted to kill her.

Leng Peixi couldn’t help but sneer. Her life was truly a joke, and wasn’t it all because of those at fault?

Huo Linong!

She clenched her teeth, slowly articulating these three syllables in her heart. Now she only regretted not having shot Huo Linong dead earlier. If he hadn’t deliberately kept her in the dark, would she and Bei Jiang have ended up in their current situation?

It was all his fault; she had been too lenient before.

“After we go back, arrange for someone to kill Huo Linong,” Leng Peixi said emotionlessly.

A Rong was startled, somewhat unable to believe what he had heard. They had captured Huo Linong and held him for such a long time, having countless opportunities to kill him. He had even advised her to do so, but she had never been willing to follow through.

Why was she willing now?

“Auntie, are you sure? If you kill Huo Linong, Bei Jiang will hate you even more.”

Leng Peixi paused, her footsteps growing heavier.

“Forget it!” Leng Peixi growled between her teeth, “Let him live a few more days. We’ll decide whether to kill him based on Bei Jiang’s attitude later on.”

“Yes!”

When Lu Jin brought Huo Linong to the foot of the mountain, some people were still there, talking to acquaintances. Huo Kewei, accompanied by Fu Xinwu, had been waiting in the car for a while and hurried Huo Linong to get in as soon as they saw him.

The two of them had received the news earlier and were very measured in their actions, having great confidence in Bei Jiang’s abilities.

Just as Huo Linong got into the car, they heard the sound of bullets whistling and explosions from the top of the mountain. Black smoke rose with the explosion, and as they looked up from the base of the mountain, the view was clear.

From the sounds and the situation, they could tell that the firefight was intense.

The people who hadn’t left yet were taken aback, but they quickly went on alert.

Ying Jiuming, who had been waiting at the bottom of the mountain, and Lu Jin, who had not had time to return, joined forces to block all the exits at the mountain’s base.

They immediately set up a cordon line. Ying Jiuming wore a police uniform, and upon seeing the police also present, the already panicked crowd realized a case must have occurred.

“What happened?”

“Was there an explosion? It was an explosion, right?”

“No, it’s not an explosion,” Ying Jiuming answered calmly.

The previously noisy environment suddenly fell silent for a second as everyone stared at Ying Jiuming in surprise, a hint of admiration in their eyes.

It was their first encounter with someone who could lie so blatantly with such a straight face.

“Everyone, disperse! There’s nothing to see here, please do not gather around.”

“Do not obstruct official business.”

As Ying Jiuming herded the people away, he signaled Lu Jin, and they quickly headed up the mountain. After all, this arrest operation was officially his responsibility as the new leader of the ninth squad. Now that the battle above had ended, he needed to wrap things up.

Thinking about what he had to do next, Ying Jiuming felt a headache brewing. Bei Jiang really had guts, but it worked out to his advantage.

The status of the ninth squad in the criminal investigation department was too low, and it was a pie in the sky to achieve anything significant. However, an opportunity had now presented itself. With Bei Jiang’s contribution served on a platter, it was the perfect chance for him to secure his position.

Inside the car, Huo Linong was too worried about the situation on the mountain and asked anxiously, “Kewei, could something happen to your uncle?”

“No, nothing will. You can rest assured!” Huo Kewei was full of confidence.
