Chapter 284: Chapter 282: Mr. Land Officer Continuing the Trial

“Scold me all you want! It won’t make me lose a single piece of meat!”

Old Man Li was still laughing in the face of everyone’s furious cursing: “Ever since Big Mouth died, I’ve had no reason to live. Liu Sisi, do you know? Everything that could make you suffer, I wanted to do! Isn’t she your Second Sister? I learned about it long ago, so I set her as the target!”

“You bastard! Old Man Li, you won’t have a good death!”

Liu Sisi was too angry to speak.

“Haha! … You’re always saying I’m terrible! But if she could survive the trials and withstand the tribulations, could I have signed the surrogacy contract? All I did was take the two taels of silver you gave me and added one more. I promised him that after everything went well, I would give him another five taels of silver. Sure enough, the man couldn’t resist the temptation and immediately agreed to my request.”

Old Man Li had a smug look on his face: “You guys were right! I, Old Man Li, indeed cannot succeed anymore! But what I want is to slowly play with her, to vent all the anger that should have been on you onto her. Liu Sisi, you killed my Big Mouth, so I’ll harm your Second Sister to atone for Big Mouth!”

“Old Man Li! You’re a heartless and insane bastard!”

Liu Sisi’s face was green with anger.

The figure who had been burying her head in her lap slowly raised her head.

Her hair was messy, and her eyes were wide open, unblinking as they stared firmly at Old Man Li.

“No more! Don’t hit me, don’t, don’t hit me… Ah! —Help me! …”

She suddenly screamed and furiously pounced on Old Man Li.

“It’s you, this undying old man who’s harmed me! You rotten corpse, kill him, kill him, kill him, you bastard …”

Not only did she curse, but she also bit fiercely with her teeth, clamping onto Old Man Li’s arm.

Old Man Li’s eyes bulged out, obviously not expecting this gentle and meek woman to suddenly go mad.

A moment later, he began to struggle to push her off: “Let go! You crazy woman…. Ah! …”

“What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and separate them!”

Seeing everyone watching the scene as if it were a good show, Mr. Land Officer hurriedly instructed them to step forward, grab the two people’s arms, and forcibly separate them.

Finally, the woman was dragged away from Old Man Li by the crowd, but she suddenly opened her mouth wide, laughing madly.

“Hahaha! …”

Her gaping mouth still held a piece of bloody flesh, and blood was trickling down as she laughed…

Her gaze was fixed straight on Old Man Li, her creepy laughter echoing through every corner of the room, causing everyone present to instinctively take a few steps back.

Is this person… already mad?

“You, you crazy woman!”

Old Man Li was only scared at this moment! He almost passed out from the pain of having a piece of flesh bitten off.

A large piece of blood-stained flesh was missing from his arm, and he was gushing blood, soon forming a large puddle on the ground.

“Hahaha … I will bite you to death!”

The woman suddenly struggled, breaking free from the hands of the two people and rushing back to Old Man Li’s side, clamping her teeth around Old Man Li’s neck.

“Ah! Help! —”

It was only at this moment that Old Man Li truly felt fear!

This crazy woman had just bitten off a piece of flesh from his arm, and now she had her teeth around his neck. If she bit down like that …

At the thought, he began to struggle fiercely.

He could not imagine that a usually gentle and weak little woman could suddenly erupt with such a tremendous force!

He struggled in vain, feeling waves of severe pain in his throat. His vision blurred, then darkened, and sparks danced in front of his eyes.

His eyes started to roll back, he was about to die…

“Ugh…”

Suddenly, he felt the pressure on his neck loosen, and a mouthful of fresh air entered his lungs. He breathed greedily, coughing violently.

“Cough, cough, cough…” Coughing almost to the point of expelling his lungs.

Only then did he realize that the crazy woman had actually been knocked out by Di Yelei’s hand dagger.

Di Yelei swiftly picked up the woman and placed her in Liu Sisi’s arms.

“You! Why did you knock her out? Are you helping me or helping outsiders?”

Liu Sisi was furious. What on earth was this annoying Di Yelei trying to do?

“Sisi, if you trust me, let me handle this. It will be much easier than if you handle it yourself, okay?”

Di Yelei’s eyes were bright and confident.

Liu Sisi pursed her lips and finally looked at the crowd, including Old Man Li, who was cursing and swearing on the side. She then held the woman in her arms tighter.

“Fine! I’ll leave this matter to you. If you can’t satisfy me…”

Liu Sisi didn’t finish her sentence, but everyone understood her meaning.

“Don’t worry!” Di Yelei smiled confidently, then turned to face the crowd.

“Elderly Mr. Di, according to the current laws of the Great Zhao, you’re trafficking people without government permission, so I’m detaining you for three months and fining you ten taels of silver. Of course, if you think I’m wronging you, you can appeal to Lord County Magistrate when you’re in jail. Now, I’ll arrest you according to the law!”

As Di Yelei spoke, he suddenly took out a chain from behind and grabbed Old Man Li, wrapping it around his neck and tying him up tightly.

“Di Yelei! You’re taking revenge publicly! I will report you to the County Magistrate!”

Old Man Li yelled in panic.

But Di Yelei suddenly gave a chilling smile, showing his white teeth.

“Feel free to try. If I remember correctly, when you first left the county government, the County Magistrate told you to take care of yourself. It seems you’ve forgotten. Get up and go!” Di Yelei quickly pushed him forward.

The chain rattled loudly, sounding particularly chilling.

This was the first time Liu Sisi had seen Di Yelei handle a case.

She instinctively widened her eyes.

Everything that followed seemed to be happening in a dream!

What seemed like a difficult situation to her was actually resolved by Di Yelei in just a few words!

Zhang Peng also ran over quickly, wearing a constable’s uniform and holding a big blade in his hand. As he stood in front of the crowd, Old Man Li was frightened.

“Ye Lei, should we send Old Man Li to the county government now or tomorrow?”

Zhang Peng looked up at the sky; it was already dark and heavy snow was falling outside. If they really sent him to the county government now, he would probably freeze into an icicle before he even got there.

“Keep him somewhere for the night, and we’ll send him to the government office tomorrow morning.”

Di Yelei glanced at Old Man Li. It wasn’t worth risking one’s life for someone like him.

Elder Sister will be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow. The updates in the recent days have been less in word count. Please be understanding. Once she is out, I will immediately resume updating with longer word counts.
