Chapter 136: Chapter 127 Hasn’t He Been Caught Enough? (Please Subscribe)_2

A sense of inexplicable emptiness surged into Old Zhang’s heart. He thought of many possibilities, even the possibility that Liu Qing might have found a new love, fallen for another superior man.

Alas…

Feelings are always so complicated, leading to all sorts of wild thoughts.

At this moment, the Little Landlady sat next to Old Zhang, patting his shoulder, and consoled him, “Old Zhang, no need to wait for Liu Qing anymore, she’s been arrested.”

“Zhang, you don’t understand adult matters…” Old Zhang replied dejectedly, but before he could finish, he suddenly furrowed his brows tightly, looking at the Little Landlady, “What did you just say!?”

The Little Landlady solemnly said, “Old Zhang, you heard me right, Liu Qing has been arrested!”

“Arrested, why has she been arrested?”

Old Zhang immediately sat up straight, his face full of astonishment and concern.

“Old Zhang, don’t get agitated yet,” the Little Landlady said, pulling on the lapel of his suit, urging him to sit down.

Old Zhang immediately countered, “If Lin Chuan were arrested, could you stay calm?”

Lin Chuan, who was right next to him, was taken aback.

Old Zhang, make your metaphors, but leave me out of it.

I’m all good, why would I get arrested?

The Little Landlady glanced at Lin Chuan and said reassuringly, “Don’t worry, Old Zhang, Lin Chuan won’t get arrested.”

Old Zhang also glanced at Lin Chuan and muttered under his breath, “As if he’s never been arrested before.”

Cough!

Seeing the father and daughter veering off topic, Lin Chuan coughed lightly, “Old Zhang, Xinxin, let’s stop for now, we’re supposed to be talking about Liu Qing’s arrest!”

At the mention of ‘Liu Qing,’ Old Zhang immediately turned back to the subject, “Why was she arrested?”

“She’s suspected of money laundering for a factory district in the Myanmar area,” the Little Landlady stated straightforwardly.

“Money laundering, but she’s a proper businesswoman, how could she be laundering money for a factory district?” Old Zhang furrowed his brows in contradiction.

“She also set up an Antique Scam to commit fraud!” the Little Landlady continued.

“Fraud? Who did she defraud?”

“You!”

The Little Landlady stretched out her hand, pointing, and looked intently at Old Zhang.

Old Zhang: “???”

At the entrance of the small supermarket, illuminated by the light above, Old Zhang’s face appeared astonished and stupefied.

Dumbfounded, Old Zhang asked, “Why would Liu Qing deceive me?”

The Little Landlady patted Old Zhang’s shoulder again, consoling him, “Oh Old Zhang, just stick to collecting rent with that IQ of yours, leave the entrepreneurship to me.”

“Then tell me, where did Liu Qing deceive me?” Old Zhang mumbled.

With a smile curling the corners of her mouth, the Little Landlady said, “Liu Qing, known as Sister Liu, a key figure in the money-laundering link for the Old Street Factory District in the Myanmar area, deals in antiques but is also involved in fraud. The main tactic is using the lure of romance to deceive the emotional trust of some middle-aged and elderly gentlemen. Once these old guys make an investment, it’s like falling into an abyss. And you, Old Zhang, are her current mark.”

“That’s impossible!” Old Zhang was shocked, “How could I possibly be an old middle-aged guy?”

“How are you not? It’s only because Lin Chuan and I discovered this in time that we prevented a tragedy from happening. Otherwise, you’d probably be at the police station giving a victim’s statement right now!” the Little Landlady said with a raised eyebrow and a laugh.

“You and Lin Chuan discovered it in time?”

Old Zhang looked at the Little Landlady with suspicion, then glanced at Lin Chuan.

“Yep.”

A hint of pride appeared on the Little Landlady’s face.

“You mean to say, you reported Liu Qing?” Old Zhang asked.

The Little Landlady nodded, “Yes, we called the police around four in the afternoon, and she was caught by seven in the evening and confessed to everything.”

A flash of melancholy crossed Old Zhang’s eyes as he sighed deeply to himself.

The Little Landlady went into the supermarket and then came out with a bottle of Erguotou liquor and a bag of peanuts, handing them to Old Zhang, “Old Zhang, have a drink to soothe the heartbreak.”

Old Zhang listlessly took the Erguotou and turned to Lin Chuan, “Lin Chuan, join me for a drink.”

The Little Landlady swiftly grabbed Lin Chuan’s arm and then seriously told Old Zhang, “I’m just saying, Old Zhang, you guys can drink, but if you get drunk and decide to become sworn brothers, I don’t want to end up with an extra uncle!”

“Sworn brothers, that’s a good idea!”

Old Zhang smiled and deliberately teased the Little Landlady.

“Old Zhang, why don’t you just stay here by yourself,” the Little Landlady said, making a motion to take back the Erguotou.

“No, no, no…”

Old Zhang quickly guarded the liquor.
