I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 755: 10,000 vs 250+ Spicy Duck Heads

Chapter 755: Chapter 755: 10,000 vs 250+ Spicy Duck Heads

If she had not found that gun during the day, Suizi would not have been thrown into chaos.

In the time she was waiting for Yu Jingting to return, many frightening images flashed through her mind.

There were images of him lying in a pool of blood and the children being kidnapped, but she never thought about herself being held hostage by the villains.

In her subconscious, what was more terrifying than dying was watching those she cared about most encounter uncontrollable danger.

So Suizi insisted that Yu Jingting take the children and leave.

When Yu Jingting heard her say this, he finally understood the fear Suizi expressed when she fell into his arms.

She was worried that something would happen to him and the children.

"Just two psychopaths, they don’t have the ability to harm us, bring your heart back to your belly, the kids and I will be fine, as long as you don’t think nonsense, our whole family will be okay."

"But they may have guns..."

The thought of someone in the dark aiming a gun at him and the children made Suizi’s head throb with pain.

She wished she could find an air raid shelter and lock him and the children up in it, afraid to think about what would happen if she lost them.

"There are many people with guns, but do they all know how to use them? Even if they’re aiming at me, do they have the accuracy to hit? If just anyone could aim correctly, why would the police have to train every day?"

Yu Jingting’s words were like a shot of adrenaline, soothing Suizi’s panicked emotions and steadying her troubled heart a bit.

"Rest assured, just stay by my side and don’t think about anything else. My mother once calculated for us, saying that we are destined to grow old together, and I’m eager to celebrate our golden wedding anniversary with you. We haven’t even finished a tenth of our life together, you can’t run away."

Yu Jingting comforted her for a while, and managed to coax Suizi to sleep. Her sleep was restless, awakening whenever he made a move.

Her arms clung tightly around his waist, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear.

By the time she fell fully asleep, it was the middle of the night.

Yu Jingting moved her hands away and silently took a jade Buddha from her jewelry box and gently hung it around her neck.

He did not believe in Buddha, but in this moment, he wished that there really were gods and Buddhas who could protect his dear Suizi.

Looking at Suizi’s sleeping face, Yu Jingting gently kissed her.

"Clinging to me as if your life depended on it, and yet you have the audacity to ask me to leave, silly girl."

But recalling her crying today like a pitiful child, Yu Jingting’s heart ached.

Since becoming a mother, she rarely showed such vulnerability in front of him.

In order to present a reliable image to their children, she always handled stressful situations with confidence, easily solving any problems that came her way.

In Yu Jingting’s eyes, Suizi’s character was cliff-like. As a young girl, she was awkward and fragile. After marriage and having children, she suddenly matured.

She jumped over a transition period, holding herself with a poise unusual for her age, showing almost no signs of wilfulness or irritability.

Even when Suizi sat with Chen Lijun, Yu Jingting sometimes felt that his wife’s emotional maturity surpassed his unpredictable mother-in-law’s.

Now, the appearance of the two psychos shattered Suizi’s defences. Yu Jingting saw the less steadfast side of Suizi, and it pained him.

One fugitive was enough of a headache already, now another one, Fan Lili, had escaped from the Mental Hospital.

Yu Jingting decided to mobilize the people’s power and financial capabilities to assist the police in solving the case faster.

He printed thousands of wanted posters for Zhao Gong and Fan Lili, offering sizable rewards.

The reward for Zhao Gong was raised to 10,000, and for Fan Lili 250 + a pot of Spicy Duck Head.

Suizi found these reward amounts strange.

"Since it’s double-sided printing, why not offer the same amount of money? Why is there also Spicy Duck Head?"

10,000 vs 250+ Spicy Duck Head, isn’t the gap a little too big?

"Fan Lili is a psychopath. To deal with a psychopath, you can’t use normal people’s logic, but rather a madwoman’s thought. Think about it, if she saw this flyer, wouldn’t she be furious? In her rage, she might just appear."

"She’s a psychopath, not an idiot, this public humiliation you’re proposing will only fool idiots," Suizi found his so-called "Public Humiliation Wanted Notice" to be unreliable.

However, Suizi did see some benefits in the stark contrast of these two amounts.

Whether or not this method can bait the psychopathic Fan Lili is unclear, but anyone who comes across the flyer will definitely remember it.

When a normal person sees something counterintuitive, they will naturally stop and think about it. A reward of 10,000 contrasted by one of 250, it will definitely leave an impression.

To maintain the Fan family’s dignity, Yu Jingting only added a portrait without a name for Fan Lili’s bounty poster, so even if someone thinks it resembles Fan Lili, they won’t think too much of it.

Suizi proposed another idea. Instead of just distributing in the skating rink, they should hire people to distribute the bounty notices down the various alleyways in the neighbourhood.

A bounty of 10,000, this was even higher than the one offered by the police station, and the old folks were bubbling with excitement.

Regardless of there being a bounty or not, the idea of fighting evil and promoting morality is ingrained in everyone’s DNA. Now that such a considerable reward was in play, community enthusiasm was soaring.

Discussions about the suspect even overtook the most popular TV shows at the moment.

The amount of elderly men spending their time playing chess has increased, and the ladies moved their vegetable washing spot from their courtyards to the outside. They were all keeping an extra eye out for anything unusual.

Suizi became the protected animal of the house.

Yu Jingting put all his work on hold, a hatchet hanging from his belt while he trailed Suizi with a hunting rifle on his back.

Fan Huang also sent a few people to live at Suizi’s house making it buzzing with activity.

The suspect hasn’t been captured yet, but the crowd, enthusiastic about catching the criminal, has solved several minor cases.

The thief who stole Aunt Er’s knickers and the thugs who took the children’s pocket money, all were caught.

When Fan Xi visited Yu Jingting and saw the burly men playing Mahjong in the courtyard, and Yu Jingting with his hatchet, he was stunned.

"What are you doing here?"

"They were sent by my dad to protect me..." Suizi was at a loss for words.

Who knew where these men, who could really eat, came from.

In just three days, they went through half a bag of rice, the nanny was on the verge of tears.

Suizi gave the nanny a bonus to help with the cooking and lessen her burden, thinking if they didn’t catch the fugitive soon, her house might go bankrupt from the food expenses alone.

Fan Xi couldn’t help expressing amazement.

"Miss Suizi is a great beauty, attracting even a psychopath."

"... I will gladly pass this honor of being a great beauty to you, would you like it?" Suizi felt powerless.

"Sister-in-law, Aunt Xi is calling!" Jiaojiao shouted at the door.

Suizi went over to answer the phone, and she heard Liu Xi cursing on the other end.

"Chen Hansui! And here I thought we were friends, how dare you insult my daughter like this! What is the meaning of 250?! Change those flyers right now, add 10,000 to the reward money, or I swear you’ll never eat East City’s Spicy Duck Head in your life again!"

"What are you saying... Hello?" Suizi felt something was off, but before she could ask, the call ended.

She then suddenly understood.

"Fan Lili is with Liu Xi!"

This call from Liu Xi was her risking it all to give Suizi a roundabout warning!
