Chapter 191: Chapter 191: Unable to Escape Punishment

The man at this moment was like a venomous snake in the dark, eyes fixed on his prey…

He Qi’an slapped the man on the head, and coldly said, “Behave yourself!”

The other policemen, seeing the man’s demeanor, couldn’t help but shake their heads. He was already caught, yet still so arrogant. Tsk!

The man’s hands were cuffed, and while being escorted into the police car by the police, he continued to smile broadly, not afraid at all.

He Qi’an looked at the man with cold eyes, sneering in his heart. He knew why the man wasn’t afraid.

Because currently, his crime was just illegal intrusion into someone else’s home.

He hadn’t stolen anything from Jiang Ping.

Moreover, his murder attempt hadn’t been executed yet, so eventually, the man might just be held for some time and then released.

That’s why the man was so smug and triumphant.

But he was celebrating too early!

Lin Xiaoyan was originally heading to the hospital but hadn’t left yet when she was notified by He Qi’an to stop by the police station.

Her heart skipped a beat, “Is it about that girl…”

He Qi’an: “Don’t worry, Jiang Ping is fine. We have already brought the perpetrator back to the station, but there’s something that requires your testimony.”

Relieved to hear the girl was okay, Lin Xiaoyan exhaled, “Alright, I’ll head over now.”

Before leaving, Lin Xiaoyan noticed her sister-in-law was still asleep, so she wrote a note to let her know she had gone out and wouldn’t return after going to the hospital at noon.

Half an hour later

Lin Xiaoyan and He Qi’an stood outside the interrogation room, watching the person inside.

Inside was Jiang Ping.

“I moved into that apartment six months ago. I remember on the very first day, that man helped me swipe my access card…”

Jiang Ping recalled, “He is the security guard in our community. If we ever needed help or to borrow something, he would assist us. He had a good reputation in the owner group.”

“Because he helped me during the move, I would greet him every day before and after work whenever I saw him, but I never had any further contact with him beyond greetings!”

Jiang Ping still couldn’t believe how bold the man was to hide in her house!

The thought of that security guard hiding in her home for so long and possibly invading her privacy made Jiang Ping feel like breaking down.

It was terrifying. What if he intended to harm her one day, and she was living alone…

She really didn’t dare to imagine.

The police looked at Jiang Ping, “Didn’t you notice anything odd? He was hiding in your house, and you never noticed at all?”

Jiang Ping furrowed her brows, “I did… but I never imagined anyone would be so bold as to hide in my home!”

She recalled, “About a month ago, I noticed my toilet paper was being used up quickly. Normally, a roll would last me three weeks, but this time it ran out in less than two weeks.

Later, I thought maybe I’d lost track of time, so I didn’t pay it any mind.

Then once, during a heavy rain, I remember not closing the balcony windows before going to work. I thought when I got home, I’d see a floor full of rainwater, and my clothes might be wet too.

But when I got back, the balcony windows were perfectly closed. I thought I must have gotten it wrong again…”

Jiang Ping swallowed hard, trembling uncontrollably, so the security guard had been hiding in her house for a month?!!

After Jiang Ping finished speaking, she was helped out of the interrogation room by a female officer.

Then, two policemen brought the security guard into the room.

Lin Xiaoyan narrowed her eyes at the man brought in, it was him!

In the footage, this man was seen assaulting and killing Jiang Ping…

Lin Xiaoyan watched the arrogant man in the interrogation room claim he had nowhere to live and simply stayed at Jiang Ping’s place.

And he claimed he didn’t destroy anything, and even helped clean Jiang Ping’s home kindly.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan looked worriedly at He Qi’an beside her.

“When you caught him, he hadn’t committed the crime yet, so… you can’t punish him?”

He Qi’an looked at Lin Xiaoyan, “Do you think he committed a crime?”

“Of course!”

Lin Xiaoyan answered affirmatively, “If I hadn’t seen those images, and you hadn’t saved Jiang Ping, by this time, Jiang Ping would have been killed by him!”

He Qi’an watched Lin Xiaoyan’s flushed face in anger, a trace of a smile flickering in his eyes, “Yes, if not for your intervention, he would indeed have committed a crime.

Therefore, we need your testimony now.”

With Lin Xiaoyan’s testimony, the man would still face legal penalties.

Of course, this justice couldn’t be made public, just like the special request Lin Xiaoyan made for Gong Ling previously.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan’s expression shifted from gloom to brightness, “Alright!”

After the matter was resolved, Lin Xiaoyan visited the store, and when she saw Li Jing at work, she paused.

After the incident with Li Jing, she heard from Li Wen that Li Jing was staying home on leave.

Now, seeing the smile on Li Jing’s face, Lin Xiaoyan couldn’t help but smile.

That’s great.

Lin Hao looked up and saw his dazed sister standing there, calling her in confusion.

“Yanyan, what are you looking at?”

Lin Xiaoyan snapped back to reality, walked to the bar, and greeted the employees inside.

“Xiao Wen, come out for a bit.” Lin Xiaoyan called Li Wen out.

Li Wen put down what he was holding and came out.

“Boss.”

Lin Xiaoyan nodded and motioned for him to sit down.

“How’s your sister doing now? I see she seems much better.”

Li Wen smiled, “Yeah, since those people were arrested, she’s been feeling a lot better. I thought it was too stifling for her to be at home all day, so I brought her to the store today.”

Lin Xiaoyan nodded but looked at Li Wen, “Haven’t you considered letting her go back to school?”

When asked, Li Wen’s smile faded slightly, “She doesn’t want to go back.”

“Then maybe transfer to a new school.”

“But… I’m afraid someone might bully her again.”

After learning about his sister’s situation, Li Wen was overwhelmed with guilt.

He believed it was his fault that his sister ended up in that situation.

If his sister had told him the first time she was bullied, he surely would have had the school handle it.

But in reality, his sister never told him, and even when she had thoughts of harming herself, she still kept silent.

He would never forget the feeling he had when the police told him something happened to his sister.

He felt like the sky had fallen.

In this world, his sister was his only family, the only person he cared about.

He couldn’t imagine what he would do if his sister really had something happen to her.

He thought he might kill everyone who had bullied his sister!

So now, with his sister finally recovering a bit, he couldn’t bear to force her into anything she didn’t want to do.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at Li Wen, roughly understanding the heart of a brother.

She comforted him with a few words, and then said, “If your sister changes her mind and wants to go to school, tell me, and I’ll help find a school for her to transfer to.”

Li Wen nodded gratefully, “Thank you, boss.”
