Lu Man stood in front of the burglar, letting him clearly see her as she pressed the three digits '110', and was just about to press the call button.
"Wait! Wait!" The thief frantically said, "I'll talk! Don't… don't call the police!"
"Then talk," thus Lu Man did not call the police.
The burglar gritted his teeth and finally revealed, "It's Xia Qingyang."
Lu Man narrowed her eyes and a large amount of anger and hatred rose in her.
Xia Qingyang and her daughter could not stand it if she and her mother were living well, now they were even stealing money that was meant to save her mother's life.
"Do you have evidence?" Lu Man suppressed her anger tightly clenching her fist.
"No," the thief was troubled, "At that time I was too excited, in the past for all the work I have done, I was always offered small amounts of money, but this time, she came to find me and said that if I succeeded she would pay me 100,000 yuan. I had never made such a huge deal before, and if I was to succeed this time, I wouldn't have to take any more risks for the entire year. Furthermore, this is the first time someone spent so much money to get me to do such a mere task, so I had no prior experience and hence did not take down any evidence."
The thief felt troubled as he talked about it.
"Then how did you know it was Xia Qingyang?" Lu Man asked.
"I also go on the Internet. Lu Qi's whole scandal was so high profile that even her parents' photos were also revealed. Even if I couldn't recognize her at first glance, but having spent a lot of time talking to her, I could easily recognize her," By now the thief's eyelids had gotten thick and swollen, and he used effort to roll his eyes.
Lu Man had never thought that Xia Qingyang would be so stupid to she actually meet him in person.
In her past life, she somehow lost to these idiots.
Now, as she thought about it, she wanted to spit out three liters of blood.
She was really foolish for losing to them in her past life.
But thinking about it, it was quite strange, Xia Qingyang was a housewife, how could she have any connections?
At the most, it must be Lu Qi who had found this thief through someone, but it must not have been easy to find a middleman.
Moreover, Xia Qingyang must have been scared that with someone else involved in conveying the message, the message might be passed on wrongly. Hence, to avoid that, she must have gone herself.
Yet she must have forgotten that her face had long been exposed on the Internet, and could not be hidden.
Right now, Lu Man was boiling with so much rage that she wanted to kill someone. She really wanted to go and kill Xia Qingyang.
That wicked woman! She kept doing harmful things to others.
She could have directly targeted her, how could she play with Xia Qingwei's life just to threaten her!
Fortunately, she had come home early, and Han Zhuoli had helped her pay the money first.
Otherwise, if either of those two things had not happened, Xia Qingwei would…
Thinking about what would have happened scared the life out of Lu Man, despite everything going well with Xia Qingwei right now, and her eyes got red with anger.
Xu Hui looked on at the side, his heart sighing for Lu Man, such a young girl, how did she end up with so many troubles?
"What should we do now? Let him go?" Xu Hui asked Lu Man.
The thief looked in anticipation at Lu Man.
"Of course not, we will call the police," Lu Man took out her phone. Since she had already entered the number and she just had to press the call button and the call immediately connected to the police station.
"You had agreed to let me go! I have already told you everything I know!" The thief shouted, anxiously, thus Xu Hui quickly reached out to cover his mouth.
"I want to give a police report, my house just had a burglary, and now the thief had been caught by my friend," Lu Man gave her address.
Hanging up, Lu Man sneered, "I didn't promise you anything. You have committed a crime, so you should be punished. But since it was Xia Qingyang who told you to do this, you can tell the police officers. Whether Xia Qingyang suffers the punishment, she deserves depends on your luck. This burglary was what Xia Qingyang had told you to do, so it doesn't make sense if only you go to jail and Xia Qingyang is still living well.
"If it was not for Xia Qingyang finding you to do this, you probably wouldn't be in trouble right now," Lu Man's words were practically brainwashing the thief.
The more the thief thought about it, the more hatred he felt. She was right; it was all because of Xia Qingyang.
Yet, he had forgotten to record the evidence.
Nonetheless, he felt that it was unfair too. He might be a bad person but why should the evil mastermind be considered a good person?
Xia Qingyang was no better person than him! They were both bad people!
Suddenly, the thief looked up at Lu Man, hatred burning in his eyes. "Xia Qingyang is not a good person, but so are you. You went against your words. I'll never let you off! You better watch out!"
"Smack!" Xu Hui smacked the back of the thief's head. The thief immediately became very giddy and dizzy. "What are you staring for!"
At first, he had thought that Lu Man would let this bad person off so that she could prove that it was indeed Xia Qingyang.
However, now that Lu Man had called the police, Xu Hui did not think that Lu Man went against her words. In fact, he was even happier.
He expected nothing less of the lady, whom Mr Han liked. She knew very clearly what was right or wrong and could flexibly deal with matters too!
In a short moment, the police arrived.
Lu Man briefly described the situation to the police. The police saw the bruised and swollen face of the thief after being hit and pursed his lips together
"What's your name?" The police asked the thief.
"Liu Musen," the thief muttered softly and lowly.
Nonetheless, Lu Man still heard it clearly.
"You're called Liu Musen?" Upon hearing this name, Lu Man immediately looked at him.
"Yes. You've got a problem with that?" Liu Musen glared angrily at Lu Man, his eyes filled with hatred.
If she had not gone against her words, he wouldn't have to go to jail!
Lu Man was his enemy!
"What's this expression! Stop fooling around! Do you still think you're right after committing a crime!" Taking a look at him, the policeman's face turned sour. "Keep your head down."
Lu Man did not mind Liu Musen's antagonism towards her. But her mind was filled with his name.
That was because, in her past life, the one who had tainted Mi Qiansong's younger sister and had caused Mi Qiansong to go to jail because of revenge was Liu Musen's underling.
There were four people in total who had tainted Mi Qiansong's sister.
However, the other three were all nobodies. They were cowardly. If not for Liu Musen, they would not even have the guts to do it.
However, in her past life, Mi Qiansong had not shared much detail regarding it either. Thus she only knew that the person-in-charge was Liu Musen, but she did not know their age nor appearance.
However, she did not know whether that person was the Liu Musen present before her.
If it were him, in this life, he would be sent to jail earlier. Based on the timeline, when it would happen to Qiansong's sister, if nothing goes wrong, in this life, Liu Musen should still be in jail.
Lu Man let out a deep breath. She hoped that this Liu Musen was that person from her previous life.
Lu Man's gaze turned cold. If it were him, then she would have to send him to jail even more.
Going against her words?
When dealing with criminals, she never regretted.
"We'll take this person first. If there's anything, we will still contact you," the police said before leaving.
"No problem."
***
Meanwhile, Lu Qi was at her home, anxiously grabbing onto Xia Qingyang's elbow." Mom, has that thief contacted you yet? Based on the time he was supposed to do it, he should have done the job long ago."
"Not yet." Xia Qingyang was unsure too, her heart beating worriedly right now.
It was Lu Qi and her idea to get someone to steal the money Lu Man needed to save Xia Qingwei.
But they could not possibly do such a thing themselves.
Thankfully, Lu Qi had some connections within the entertainment industry and her manager managed to contact that thief through her connections.
However, this was the most that Lu Qi could do.
It was not that she could not find someone to help her contact the thief herself. In the entertainment industry as she knew how to contact a couple of underground crime bosses too.
However, could she have easily asked for a favour from someone like that?
It needed her to pay a price that she wasn't willing to.
As a budding starlet, there were too many people who wanted to sleep with her!
