Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 3031: Chapter 2967: Evidence of Murder

As soon as she uttered Jiang Xiao’s name, she found herself speechless.

Meng Sheng looked really unwell.

Wang Lili was under immense psychological pressure now, so much so that she was on the brink of collapse.

If she hadn’t said those two girls were her classmates, if she hadn’t asked Meng Sheng to help them, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.

What if Meng Sheng really died; what would she do then?

How would she make amends?

She would never get over it for the rest of her life.

More importantly, that last hit, Meng Sheng took it for her.

That strike was meant for her head.

Thinking back to the chaos of that moment, Wang Lili felt a chill spread over her body and couldn’t help but shiver.

Jiang Xiao walked over.

The group of townspeople watched her.

They didn’t expect that the person Si Huzi called to negotiate with them would be such a young girl.

She seemed quite classy.

And she was very pretty.

But what was the use?

Could she really negotiate with them?

”My name is Jiang Xiao. I need to take this person to the hospital first. Only when he’s well and alive can we sit down and talk properly.” Jiang Xiao said to them.

”And you think you can just take him away like that? I’ve checked him; he’s not dead—he’s still breathing.” a man said to her.

Jiang Xiao’s lips curled slightly, her gaze becoming cold.

”And you think it’s fine that he’s breathing? You hit him right on the head, and look at how much blood he’s lost—see that? Head injuries can’t just be judged by whether someone is breathing or not. So he’s very likely to have a concussion right now. Even if he’s not in immediate danger, it’s very possible you’ve damaged his brain already. If he’s not properly treated and examined, if something happens, will you take responsibility?”

”Oh, it’s not that serious...”

”Fine, you can say I’m exaggerating, but as long as you say if anything happens to him, you can take responsibility, then I won’t take him.” At this point, Jiang Xiao’s tone grew even colder, ”And I have one more thing to say.”

Her gaze swept over their faces, ”If this person dies, whoever hit him, I will personally take them to the security office, no matter what, a life for a life, I will never let it go.”

Jiang Xiao’s words, imbued with menace, sent a shiver down everyone’s spine.

But such words also caused some backlash among the townspeople.

”You’ve got some nerve, girl! What if we decide to just keep all of you here today?”

Jiang Xiao had long known that these people, who were easily driven to irrational violence, wouldn’t back down easily, so her words were meant to shock them.

”Then try it.”

She gestured to one of the youths holding a blood-stained wooden pole with a crook of her finger.

As soon as she saw him with the pole, she suspected he was the one who hit Meng Sheng. Moreover, when she mentioned a life for a life, his face changed, confirming her suspicion.

The youth, provoked by her, charged at her with the pole.

Wang Lili let out a startled cry.

Luo Yongsheng was about to step forward, but Jiang Xiao waved him off, then lifted her foot and kicked hard at the man’s stomach. At the same time, her hand reached out and snatched the pole from his grasp, tossing it to Luo Yongsheng.

”Keep it, it’s evidence of attempted murder.”

Luo Yongsheng caught it immediately.
