Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 267

Chapter 267: Chapter 267: Isn’t this a trap for Mr. Lin?

During this period, Su Wensong had heard quite a bit about Yu Dahu.

Although they also used to engage in illegal activities, they never did anything that could cost them their heads.

Who would have thought that after Tian Jinzhu split from them, he would take refuge with Yu Dahu.

And that would be fine, but now that he’s gotten himself into trouble, he’s come to them for cover.

Regretfully, Su Wensong had thought his brother had finally reformed and was on the right path, introducing him to Mr. Lin and even getting him a job at the Bun Shop.

Isn’t this getting Mr. Lin into trouble?

The more Jia Liang thought about it, the angrier he became, kicking one foot after another, wishing he could kick Tian Jinzhu to death right here.

It was the police officers who came over and pulled the two men apart.

Jia Liang then turned his gaze towards Feng Zhong, sharp as a knife. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Feng Zhong quickly shook his head, "Brother Liang, this has nothing to do with me, I really don’t know anything, I truly don’t know anything, and I definitely don’t know any Yu Dahu."

Feeling that just explaining to Jia Liang wouldn’t do, he turned to the police officers, "Officers, I really don’t know anything. It was Tian Jinzhu who came to me, saying he wanted to take refuge under Brother Liang and find a decent job. I truly have reformed. If you don’t believe me, ask my mother. In the past six months, I haven’t committed a single petty theft, I want to learn from Brother Liang, reform, and be a decent person."

The other police officers had already searched the Bun Shop.

The not-yet-renovated Bun Shop was clear at a glance, they searched it and indeed found nothing suspicious.

They said to the three men, "Cut the nonsense. If there’s anything to admit, do it inside."

...

Early in the morning, Lin Chuxia was woken up by a knock on the door.

By the time she got dressed and went outside, Qin Han had already led Su Wensong inside from outside.

Seeing Lin Chuxia, Su Wensong spoke with a serious face, "Mr. Lin, something has happened downtown, you need to go there personally."

"What happened? Did they say?" Lin Chuxia asked while going back inside to pack her things.

Jia Liang, who was responsible for the Bun Shop downtown, had been busy with the renovation lately, and would report to Lin Chuxia about the progress.

Since her return from the Northwest, she hadn’t had the time to visit downtown.

"One of the employees he hired has a tainted background and was taken away by the police last night. Jia Liang and another person were taken as well, all three being employees of the Bun Shop, so we need you to go."

Su Wensong summarized the situation.

Hearing this, Lin Chuxia turned to look at him.

The men Jia Liang was managing were all personally recruited by him.

Several of them had connections with Lin Chuxia, as they were his past brothers.

Talking about a shady background, it was likely those people.

Lin Chuxia didn’t ask further, washed up, and followed Su Wensong.

The factory’s 121 had just returned from delivering goods, and the two of them drove straight to the downtown police station in the 121.

There, after presenting her identity, a police officer came to inquire.

Lin Chuxia answered all of the officer’s questions.

The downtown Bun Shop was her investment, with Jia Liang in charge of the renovation, and his people were in an employment relationship with their Bun Shop, consistent with what Jia Liang had reported.

Lin Chuxia walked straight to the 121 and gestured, "Get in."

Jia Liang stood beside the car and didn’t move; he hadn’t eaten or drunk anything since being caught the day before, not even sleeping for a moment.

He’d been involved in the underworld for many years, and it wasn’t his first time being caught.

When he started out in this line of work as a youngster, aside from feeling a bit scared during his first arrest, every other time he ate, drank, and slept as usual, treating the detention just like being at home, staying inside contentedly for however many days he was held.

But this time was different from the past; it felt like a heavy stone pressing on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

All through the night, he had pondered a lot; he knew Lin Chuxia would come to bail them out.

He imagined how Lin Chuxia would react to learning about this, envisioning her scolding him in anger.

Mr. Lin had trusted him so much, giving him full control of the shop and letting him manage substantial amounts of money, and even when he employed his old brothers, Mr. Lin didn’t question it.

Jia Liang knew Mr. Lin trusted not Tian Jinzhu and the others, but him.

Yet, with all that trust from Mr. Lin, he still ended up letting Mr. Lin down.

"What’s the matter? Didn’t stay long enough at the station, want to go back and sit for a while?"

Seeing that Jia Liang wasn’t moving, Lin Chuxia called out a reminder.

"Jia Liang, get in."

"Mr. Lin..."

As Jia Liang began to speak, he realized how dry his mouth was and his throat rough.

Lin Chuxia didn’t wait for him to finish, turned her head to the car, simply remarking, "Cut the crap, I’m hungry, let’s find a place to eat."

Jia Liang swallowed dryly and did not respond further, climbing into the back of the 121.
