196: Shen Wanzhi's gratitude

"Second Sister, you don't need to be polite with him."

"That bad guy... still owes me a lot!"

"This treatment for Yaoyao can be considered his compensation."

"Besides, I've already given him the benefits in advance, so if you want to repay someone, repay me!"

Leng Qingqiu stepped forward, patted Shen Wanzhi's soft hand, and gently comforted her.

As she spoke, Leng Qingqiu's peach blossom eyes swept over Jiang Che intentionally or unintentionally, her gaze full of resentment.

To get Jiang Che to treat her little niece, she had agreed to all sorts of unreasonable demands from Jiang Che last night.

Those she could agree to, those she couldn't agree to, she agreed to them all...

"Ah, this..."

After hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, Shen Wanzhi was a bit flustered and didn't know what to do for a moment...

Although Jiang Che was technically her brother-in-law, he was also one of her students. He saved her precious daughter's life, so it seemed a bit unreasonable not to offer any reward, right?

"Qingqiu is right, it's a small matter, Professor Shen doesn't need to feel too burdened..."

"If Professor Shen feels bad, just call me brother-in-law."

"Bro... Brother-in-law..."

Although she felt some resistance and a strange sense of shame about calling her student 'brother-in-law,' Shen Wanzhi didn't refuse Jiang Che's suggestion. She pursed her red lips, bit her pearly teeth lightly, hesitated for a moment, and then called out very naturally.

Shen Wanzhi felt extremely ashamed, emotional value +7878...

"Is Big Brother Auntie's boyfriend?"

"Then will Yaoyao have to change what she calls Big Brother later, and call him Big Uncle?"

Seeing Shen Mama change her address, the clever little Shen Yaoyao also asked appropriately, her big, dark apricot eyes wide and round, her cherry-like lips curved into a crescent shape, her chubby little face, with a hint of baby fat, was rosy and utterly adorable.

"Yaoyao can decide that..."

"You can call me anything..."

"Hehe, Yaoyao understands!"

...Night, the evening breeze was gentle, the bright moon hung high, and the galaxy sparkled.

The bright moonlight poured down, illuminating all directions, the lights were coming on, and the neon nightscape was exceptionally charming.

It was already very late. Shen Wanzhi and Leng Qingqiu went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Pei Yunxi, not being skilled in cooking, stayed with the little girl in the living room, watching cartoons.

It was fine to ask the beautiful police officer to handle cases and arrest people, but asking her to cook was truly a challenge.

If Pei Yunxi really went into the kitchen and got busy, she might just blow it up.

"Yunxi, what's Lin Tian's situation now?"

Jiang Che lay back on the spacious, soft sofa, initiating a conversation with Pei Yunxi.

Jiang Che was quite concerned about the recent situation of Lin Tian, the assassin.

Although that guy was currently detained in a detention center, anything could happen before he was executed.

After all, Jiang Che knew very well how unreasonable the Protagonist's Halo could be.

It was precisely by relying on the utterly unreasonable Protagonist's Halo that various Children of Fortune could rise rapidly, constantly encountering opportunities, and having smooth sailing.

Falling off a cliff would lead to a secret manual, drinking at a bar would inevitably lead to ruffians harassing the female lead, even eating street-side fried noodles would result in meeting the female lead, incredibly awesome.

"Him, huh..."

"Hehe... If nothing unexpected happens, he'll be executed the day after tomorrow!"

Pei Yunxi held Shen Yaoyao, playfully fiddling with the little girl's fair, tender hand, her eyes darting around. A hint of mischief flashed in her beautiful eyes, and when she mentioned Lin Tian, her brows were filled with uncontrollable excitement.

This was a genuine first-class merit!

"That fast?"

Jiang Che was a little surprised, his expression turning strange.

According to normal judicial procedures, even if Lin Tian was extremely evil, he couldn't be executed so quickly.

Jiang Che didn't believe that Pei Yunxi hadn't used her connections behind the scenes.

"It's just as Brother-in-law thinks..."

"I used some of the Old Man's connections and transferred Lin Tian to a certain procuratorate today. Now, that procuratorate has already given a sentencing recommendation, and it will reach a certain court tomorrow..."

"Hmm... If nothing unexpected happens, Lin Tian will be executed the day after tomorrow!"

Pei Yunxi was not at all evasive about this, speaking openly and frankly.

Power itself is a double-edged sword; the key lies in how the person holding the power uses it.

She pulled strings and made arrangements because she wanted Lin Tian to die quickly, to return a bright and clear world to the people of Linjiang, and to stabilize social order. She certainly wasn't using her power for personal gain.

Of course, it would be false to say that Pei Yunxi had no selfish motives.

After all, once Lin Tian's case was completely resolved, her promotion to captain was certainly guaranteed, so Pei Yunxi was naturally incredibly proactive.

"Brother-in-law, speaking of which, Lin Tian's case really owes a lot to you!"

"Otherwise, bringing him to justice wouldn't have been so easy..."

Pei Yunxi's face showed gratitude, her words sincere.

If Jiang Che hadn't revealed Lin Tian's whereabouts to her in advance, she wouldn't have been able to capture him so easily.

After all, as an old hand in the assassin world, Lin Tian's anti-reconnaissance abilities were unusually strong, and he also possessed those mysterious disguise techniques, even having more than a dozen ID cards.

If Lin Tian hadn't been officially arrested at the hotel that day, with his disguise techniques and those dozen or so documents, it would have been no difficult feat for him to escape the country.

This was evident from Lin Tian's easy escape from the designated surveillance residence last time, and the subsequent city-wide manhunt that yielded no results.

Moreover, Lin Tian's ability to easily confess his crimes in the end was entirely Jiang Che's credit; she was just an extra throughout the whole process...

It could be said that Jiang Che's contribution to Lin Tian's capture was indispensable.

It was he, a capitalist who should theoretically stand on the opposite side of the people, who stepped forward and resolved a huge safety hazard for the people.

Furthermore, Jiang Che's actions of leaving after the deed was done, and hiding his achievements and fame, also showed his character.

Handsome, well-built, with a sense of justice, strong execution, upright and sunny, normal sexual orientation, not at all effeminate, devoted to public service, and absolutely impartial.

Isn't such a man exactly the Prince Charming she had always dreamed of?

If Jiang Che wasn't dating her elder sister, she would definitely pursue him without hesitation, right?
