The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 704

Chapter 704: Chapter 700: Going to a Relative’s House

The official observed He Qingqing’s expression. Seeing her shy and timid look, he figured she wasn’t lying.

However, when he saw their empty hands, his eyes narrowed.

"You’re visiting relatives empty-handed?"

Lu Yuanbin was about to say they hadn’t bought anything yet, but He Qingqing beat him to the punch. "We have something. It’s right here."

With the official present, He Qingqing felt much bolder. She walked forward and picked up two trussed-up old hens from beside one of Old Nine’s lackeys.

"These are mine. They stole these from me."

Bringing old hens as a gift for relatives? Nothing wrong with that.

The official finished taking notes and then turned to Old Nine and his men.

"What’s your name? Where are you from? Why are you here? Were you just conducting an illegal transaction?"

Old Nine gave his name and address but refused to admit to any illegal trading.

The words had barely left Old Nine’s mouth when several more officials approached, dragging a few people with them.

They were, in fact, the very street vendors who had just been selling their wares.

The vendors’ faces all went pale.

Old Nine’s expression turned ugly as well, and he frantically shot glances at the vendors.

’I can’t admit to this, no matter what. If I do, it’s not just me who’s done for. These vendors won’t get away either.’

But the vendors didn’t even notice Old Nine’s signals. As soon as an official spoke to them a little more sternly, they confessed everything.

Old Nine’s legs gave out, and he collapsed onto the ground.

Having confirmed the nature of Old Nine’s crime, the official closed his notebook, gave a wave of his hand, and had everyone taken away.

Even Lu Yuanbin and He Qingqing had to go with them.opting out of this part of the conversation.

He Qingqing was a little frightened. Lu Yuanbin stepped forward to reassure her. "Don’t be afraid. Once we get there, just do what you did before and answer their questions honestly."

He Qingqing nodded.
