At six o'clock in late autumn and early winter, the sun has already set, the sky is dark, the street lights on the roadside emit a dim light, and a few small flying insects linger in the light.

Zhou Qi was trembling with fear when someone held a knife to her neck.

"I...I don't know Li Huan, I just came to see Liu Lizhen."

"Liu Lizhen?" Li Chao was a little surprised, but he couldn't care less, "Then do you know where Liu Lizhen is?!"

He went home this afternoon and originally wanted to find some money, but found that the door lock had been changed and there was no one inside. He couldn't get in at all.

"I don't know!" Zhou Qi's voice was filled with tears, "I haven't found anyone either. Really! You believe me!"

"Damn it!" Li Chao cursed, feeling full of irritation and displeasure.

He owed money again these days, and he was told that if he didn't pay it within three days, his hand would be chopped off.

"Then do you have any money?"

Li Chao is now considered to be in urgent need of medical treatment, so he can get a little money.

"Yes..." Zhou Qi raised her hand tremblingly, and there was a wallet in her hand, "I only have these, I give them all to you..."

Li Chao grabbed the wallet, opened it, and found that there was only some change inside, and he became even more angry.

"Bah! You bitch! You are so poor!"

Just when Li Chao was about to get angry, a car drove up in the distance, and the lights shone so hard that they could hardly open their eyes.

While the two were stunned, the police rushed out of the car and held Li Chao down in a well-trained manner.

It turned out that the neighbors heard the noise but did not dare to stop it, so they could only call the police.

After Li Chao was caught, Zhou Qi was helped up by a policewoman.

Her whole body was shaking violently, and she cried loudly while hugging the policewoman.

The police took the two men back to the police station and took notes separately.

When Han Yueping and others received a call from the police station, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

When Han Yueping heard the news, she was startled and a little worried.

After all, this was the person she had loved as her own daughter for several months. She had only been out for two hours and was arrested and taken to the police station. She was always worried.

Originally, she wanted to go to the police station to pick someone up, but Han Jianbing and Shen Changqing persuaded her to come down.

Later, the only two people who went to the police station to pick him up were the uncle and nephew.

As soon as the two entered the police station, Zhou Qi greeted them.

Her eyes were red, and she looked behind them. When she saw no one, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Didn't mom come?"

"Mom has been tired all day and it's cold outside, so she didn't come." Shen Changqing explained.

Hearing this, Zhou Qi's face darkened, and she couldn't help feeling resentful.

She's already in the police station, but Han Yueping still refuses to forgive her, and doesn't know what she's trying to do with Qiao!

Isn't it just a few dishes that are worthy of her care? It's really annoying!

"Mom was originally going to come, but we persuaded her to stop." Shen Changqing said calmly: "If you have any dissatisfaction, why not tell us?"

Hearing this, Zhou Qi immediately felt guilty.

"I...I didn't!" She quibbled: "I'm not inconsiderate. It's so cold outside, how can I let my mother come out to cool down?"

The uncle and nephew didn't comment, didn't answer her words, and went to go through the formalities themselves.

After completing the formalities, it was already past nine o'clock when I got home.

Han Yueping was waiting in the living room, and Shen Qingyang accompanied her.

As soon as she heard the sound of the car engine, she stood up and poked her head at the door.

Zhou Qi walked in the door and forced out a smile, "Mom."

"Are you okay?" Han Yueping asked with concern, "How did you get into the situation so well?"

"I went out to look for someone, but I didn't find him..." Zhou Qi felt aggrieved, "but I was robbed by the son of that family with a knife. Fortunately, the police got there quickly."

Han Yueping was a little scared after hearing this. She put her arms around Zhou Qi's waist and brought him in.

"I asked my aunt to make soup. Come and have a bowl to warm yourself up."

Han Yueping's attitude has warmed up, which is a good thing for Zhou Qi.

She felt much more at ease, and just when she was about to pick up the spoon and put it into her mouth, she heard Shen Changqing say:

"I asked, and the man said you went to their house to find someone named 'Liu Lizhen'. Why are you looking for her so late?"

Hearing this, Zhou Qi panicked. The spoon in her hand fell directly into the soup, and the splash of soup dripped on her chest.

"No...it's nothing..." She tried to remain calm and composed, "She is an aunt from the previous village. She knew that my birthday was today and said she wanted to meet me."

"Who knew that after I went there, there would be no one at home."

"Really?" Shen Changqing said noncommittally, "But your birthday today is the day when your little sister was born, not the date on your ID card. How did Liu Lizhen know that?"

"I told her." Zhou Qi didn't even dare to blink, fearing that the secret would be revealed. "She also cares about me. I thought it was not a shameful thing, so I told her."

"I see." Shen Changqing nodded meaningfully, "But as far as I know, Liu Lizhen's husband Li Qiang had a sudden illness and was sent to the hospital on Wednesday. So why did she make an appointment with you on Friday?"

Shen Changqing's pressing steps made Zhou Qi more and more panicked. The early winter night was a bit cold, but she was actually sweating all over.

"I...I, that's because...because when I made an appointment with Aunt Liu, her husband was still fine!"

Zhou Qi racked her brains to think of this statement, "Later, her husband became ill. She was probably anxious, so she didn't notify me in advance."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Changqing immediately answered her words, "But..."

"But what?!" Zhou Qi couldn't bear it any longer, "Brother, are you going to target me too?!"

"I just escaped from the hell gate. When I came back, I didn't hear you caring about me. Instead, I was treated as a prisoner."

"Excuse me, did I hurt someone with a knife, or did I do something outrageous? You want you to judge me like this!"

"Changqing!"

Han Yueping also felt that something was wrong. Even if they suspected Zhou Qi, they couldn't be aggressive at this time. It was too ungraceful.

"Your sister has just come back. Just let her rest. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

When her mother spoke, Shen Changqing naturally did not dare to offend her.

"Okay, Mom." He looked past Han Yueping and stared at Zhou Qi, as if he wanted to cut her open and see through the most important secret in her heart.

Zhou Qi's eyes made her scalp numb and she didn't even bother to drink the soup. "Mom, I'm tired and want to rest. I'm going upstairs first."

"it is good."

Han Yueping wanted to say something else, but Zhou Qi walked in a hurry, so she could only keep her mouth shut.

Han Jianbing and Shen Changqing looked at each other, becoming more and more convinced that Zhou Qi had something up his sleeve.

If she was honest, she could have said slowly, "What are you doing with red eyebrows and a white face?"

Isn't it just a guilty conscience that makes you so angry?
