Chapter 40 Ho Xiao Captured

Zhang Xiulan didn’t go to Chen Baiyi’s wedding, and she didn’t dare to. The scene of her being scared away by He Xiao with a gun was still vivid in her mind. When she saw the high-end appliances sent to Chen Baiyi’s house, Zhang Xiulan was already filled with envy. These should have been sent to her house.

If He Xiao hadn’t caused trouble, Chen Baiyi would have listened to her and married someone else. The betrothal gift and the three pieces of gold would all be for her, Zhang Xiulan. Now, it was He Xiao who was married to Chen Baiyi. Even if she had ten guts, she wouldn’t dare to run to He Xiao and ask for money, let alone the betrothal gift and the three pieces of gold.

Seeing the two of them holding a big wedding, the more Zhang Xiulan thought about it, the more upset she felt. The money was confiscated, her son was in the hospital, her daughter was married to a widower, and she couldn’t get the money. If she didn’t have a good life, Chen Baiyi wouldn’t have a good life either!

Didn’t everyone in the village say that He Xiao was a “murderer”? Weren’t they afraid of getting jinxed at the wedding of a “murderer”?

Zhang Xiulan suddenly realized something. Didn’t He Xiao come to their village to hide from the police because he had killed someone?

Then she would report He Xiao, the murderer. Not only would she be able to get rid of the evil for the people, but she might also be able to get a reward. Most importantly, Zhang Xiulan couldn’t bear to see Chen Baiyi living so well. So Zhang Xiulan went to the police station. “I want to report that there is someone with a gun in our village!”

“A gun? Are you sure? That’s no small matter. The possession of a firearm is no small crime!”

“I’m sure. He threatened me with a gun last time! I saw it clearly. It was a gun! And he did a lot of illegal things. Go and arrest him!”

The police officers followed Zhang Xiulan to the wedding venue with the principle that they would rather catch the wrong person than let someone off.

Everyone was drinking happily when they suddenly heard the sound of police sirens. Most of them sobered up. The originally lively wedding suddenly became extremely quiet. Everyone watched as the police walked towards He Xiao. “Are you He Xiao? Someone reported you for possession of guns and doing many illegal things. Please come with us!”

Everyone had different thoughts when they heard the police say that. The good impression they had of He Xiao immediately dissipated. They watched silently.

He Xiao, on the other hand, was calm. “I accept the investigation, but I’d like to speak to my wife.”

When the policeman saw how cooperative he was, he agreed. “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. My business is all legal. I’ll be back in a minute!” He Xiao kissed Chen Baiyi’s forehead and said in a low voice, “Be good and wait for me,” before following the policeman.

Knowing that the police had arrested He Xiao, Zhang Xiulan was extremely proud. Hmph, no matter how powerful He Xiao was, was he more powerful than the police? She would see how he could threaten her in the future!

Zhang Xiulan was already thinking about how to snatch the things in Chen Baiyi’s house. They were all good things and were all new. If she sold them now, she could sell them for a good price. This way, she would obtain her son’s medical fees. Last time, she heard from the villagers that those things added up to at least tens of thousands!

Zhang Xiulan had never thought that she would have so much money in her life. Now that the opportunity was right in front of her, she was naturally tempted.

It would be best if the police could find out that He Xiao had indeed broken the law. After some time, she could even persuade Chen Baiyi to annul the marriage. This way, she would have a betrothal gift and a stable ATM. Thinking of this, Zhang Xiulan couldn’t help but feel happy.
