Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 445: Venomous Tongue Attack

Not long after, Yi Chi wiped away the tears that had fallen on his face, stood up, moved the stool behind him to the side, straightened the cloth bag on the table, then knelt on his knees and kowtowed three times to the corpse.

Dad, Mom, rest in peace.

Leave the rest to me.

Yi Chi stood up, put the stool back in its place, then turned around and opened the door.

The policeman at the door turned his head and looked at him. Seeing his red eyes, he felt a little sorry. He had heard that the people in this village were not good people. Not only did they kill people and rob them of their money, they also threw people into the river and made them clean the feces buckets there every day. This was unheard of and made him furious just by hearing about it.

Yi Chi forced a smile, then walked out and closed the door, but he didn't know what he should do at the moment. He stood there for a while with his eyes closed, feeling the sunlight shining on his body, a slight warm touch.

At this time, Wu Aiqing suddenly walked out of the office temporarily used by Lin Ke, and Chen Jinghan was with him.

When they saw Yi Chi, they hurried over to call him.

"What's wrong?" Yi Chi opened his eyes and looked at the two educated youth.

"Come to Lin Ke's office at 7 o'clock this evening. I'll beg you to do something then." Chen Jinghan stopped Wu Aiqing who was about to speak and explained herself.

Wu Aiqing glanced at him and didn't expect that he was quite romantic.

But it's true, when this guy was with Xue Li, he liked to do some nonsense. Although it didn't mean much, girls still liked it.

Yi Chi was stunned for a moment, wondering why it was 7 o'clock in the evening, but he saw that they came out of Lin Ke's office and thought it must be Lin Ke's arrangement, so he didn't ask any more questions, just nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Chen Jinghan looked at his state and thought that he probably wanted to be alone, so she didn't talk to him, but just patted his arm and said, "My condolences."

Wu Aiqing also said, "My condolences. There are still many things you need to do next, so you must take care of yourself and don't get too tired."

"Okay, thank you." Yi Chi pulled the corners of his mouth again. His smile was not very pretty, but he sincerely thanked them for their kindness.

After the three of them separated, Yi Chi also left. He planned to go home and rest for a while, mainly because he really was not in the mood to do anything else.

On Lin Ke's side, she and Director Wu, one sat opposite Wang Hongqi, and the other was in the next room facing Dai Jiancun.

Wang Hongqi knew that her previous trick of diverting attention was no longer effective, so she calmed down, sat silently behind the table, and rubbed her messy nails out of boredom.

Dai Jiancun's face was pale and his mouth was full of cracked skin. He sat weakly in a chair, without even the strength to speak.

Lin Ke looked at the woman opposite him, paying special attention to her indescribable nails. It seemed that she was already panicking. That was good. He thought she was really as calm as she appeared. Since she was panicking, then everything would be easy later.

Wu Jiesheng took out a piece of peach cake and a glass of water and placed them on the table, one step away from Dai Jiancun, who had his hands and feet tied.

Dai Jiancun's eyes lit up visibly, and he shouted excitedly in a hoarse voice, "Feed me, feed me, feed me quickly!"

"Answer my questions and I will consider giving you food." Wu Jie was calm and composed. He knew Dai Jiancun couldn't help it. He had been pampered for many years, but suddenly he was hungry for two days. Now that he saw food right in front of him, how long could he hold on?

Lin Ke crossed his arms, then looked at Wang Hongqi's hands and said with disdain, "How ugly."

Wang Hongqi paused, then continued with his actions as if he didn't care.

"How dare you, a country girl, dream of comparing yourself with a rich young lady? The toad is talking about people like you, right?" Lin Ke spoke. She didn't want to play psychological warfare with the other party anymore, so she attacked directly with a venomous tongue.

Wang Hongqi remained unmoved and continued to play with his fingers with his head down.

"Stop playing. If you keep playing, your hands will only be for digging wild vegetables. You haven't had to do any heavy work in recent years since you married Dai Jiancun, so you must have spent a lot of energy on maintenance. Tsk tsk, but why do you still look so ugly to me? The joints are so thick, did you have to grind mills for your family when you were a child?" Lin Ke said as she stretched out her hands. It must be said that some things are innate, and her beautiful hands don't look like she came from the countryside.

Lin Ke raised his hands and turned them over and over in front of Wang Hongqi. "How do they compare with Madam Yi's hands? I should have a better chance of winning than you."

Wang Hongqi finally looked up and asked doubtfully, "Comrade Lin, do you also want to marry a rich and powerful man and become a rich wife? But I don't think so. You are too old."

"Me? I don't need to marry a rich and powerful man. Although I'm older, my position has been promoted. So you see, I'm different from you. I am self-reliant, while you just want to cling to men. If one fails, you change to another. You have worked hard to turn things around." Lin Ke also agreed with Wang Hongqi's efforts. If she had not turned hate into love, then she would have the status she has today, proving that she is also capable.

"Yes, if one fails, I'll try another. People shouldn't rely on one tree to do their best. But my efforts are still not enough, otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting here and being looked down upon by you." Wang Hongqi put down his hand, then looked at Lin Ke calmly and said, "Don't waste your words. Just ask whatever you want to ask."

"As for whether to answer or not, that's your business, right?" How could Lin Ke not see through her little trick? She just felt that she had the rhythm in her control and was unhappy, so she wanted to take the initiative. However, she didn't know that she had completely lost the initiative in this case.

Wang Hongqi remained calm.

Lin Ke was even more confident. She raised her hand again, looked left and right, and even bent her fingers to look at her nails. "Come to think of it, my hands should also have some rings or something to complement them. Comrade Wang seems to like Russian-style jewelry very much. Why don't you recommend some to me? What kind of gemstones do you think are suitable for me?"

Wang Hongqi said nothing.

"Are gems not suitable? Then maybe, I am suitable for pearls?" When Lin Ke said the last word, she looked at the opposite side with burning eyes. She wanted to see when Wang Hongqi would become unable to sit still.

Wang Hongqi's expression didn't change at all, but she continued the conversation, saying, "Comrade Lin thinks highly of a country girl like me who has no experience. How can I tell the difference between gems and pearls?"
