Jian Qiao didn't expect that before she even thought about how to talk to them, they would come to her door and offer to help her.

She was extremely happy, and she thanked them one by one, her eyes full of sincere gratitude.

"Thank you, thank you."

After seeing them off, the bed and breakfast proprietress grabbed Jian Qiao.

"Miss Jian, this matter was such a big deal back then. I heard that the forces behind it are quite big. You must be careful."

Jian Qiao looked into her worried eyes and nodded heavily.

"Don't worry, it will."

After breakfast, Jian Qiao and Gu Yanchuan set off to the town to discuss some specific matters with the lawyer.

The lawyer Grandpa Jian hired was one of the best in Nancheng, specializing in criminal cases.

He moved quickly and was already preparing for the retrial procedures. In front of professional people, Jian Qiao could not do much. Most of the time, he was the one talking and they were listening.

They had complete trust in him, so they left the matter to him with confidence.

When they returned from the town, they heard that several people who had promised them to testify had fled together.

As expected, they were caught by the villagers, and now their hands and feet are tied and thrown into an abandoned bungalow in the village.

When Jian Qiao arrived, the villagers were criticizing them verbally and verbally, with spittle flying around, leaving Jian Qiao dumbfounded and not daring to step forward for a long time.

When they finally found her, they moved aside and allowed her to step forward.

Jian Qiao looked at the disgraced people in the middle of the room, and couldn't help but sigh at the fickleness of people's hearts.

She almost believed them and thought they had discovered their conscience.

But he didn't expect that Gu Yanchuan would be right.

When they saw her coming in, they all lowered their heads, as if they didn't want to face her.

Jian Qiao was not in a hurry. She walked slowly among them. Every step she took raised a layer of dust in the room, causing them to cough non-stop.

Seeing their guilty looks, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Do you think that as long as you run away, I won't be able to do anything to you?"

Everyone was silent, as if they had agreed not to answer no matter what she asked.

"Do your family, friends, and children know what you are doing? Do they know what you relied on to become rich overnight? Have they ever talked about you in private, or shown disdain for your behavior?"

Her repeated questioning finally made their faces show emotions. One of them seemed angry and unwilling to be questioned like this by her.

"I'm telling you, no matter how much noise you make here, you will never succeed. You can't fight them!"

Jian Qiao smiled instead of angry, and slowly knelt down, leaning over to look at the angry middle-aged man in front of her.

"Who are they? What benefits have they promised you this time? Can they provide you with food and clothing for the rest of your life?"

She saw the man's expression froze, and his smile gradually turned cold and terrifying.

"Stop dreaming. The person who gave you money back then is now in prison. It's ridiculous that you still want to live the rest of your life with no worries about food and clothing in this way!"

As soon as she said this, everyone was shocked.

The faces of those people who were tied up and thrown to the ground were even more pale.

Jian Qiao didn't look at them anymore, turned around and walked out.

When she walked to the door, her voice was so calm that no emotion could be heard. "Untie the ropes on their bodies. They are not prisoners. We have no right to do this."

She was more worried about people in the village getting into trouble because of her.

Although the villagers were very reluctant, they still did it.

As soon as they untied their ropes, they ran outside like crazy.

Everyone couldn't help but start to worry again, and the proprietress of the canteen grabbed her hand anxiously.

"But if we let them go like this, what should we do if they run away again?"

Jian Qiao looked at their fleeing figures, extremely calm.

"When they confirm the truth of what I just said, they will come back obediently."

No one allows them any more glory and wealth. If they want to survive in this place, they can't block their own road.

But having said that, everyone present could not hide their anger and only said that they did not expect such a few scumbags to appear in their village.

Instead, Jian Qiao turned around and thanked them for taking her matter to heart.

Instead, they felt guilty and felt that they had not really helped her.

On the way back to the B&B, Jian Qiao looked at the scorching sun above her head, and when she thought about the day she came, she felt as if she was in another world.

Now that the day when the truth would be revealed was getting closer, she didn't feel excited. She just hoped that everything would go well.

As soon as she returned to the room, her grandfather called her and asked about the progress of the case.

Jian Qiao told him everything, and also told him to pay more attention to safety.

She could imagine that Liu Jinsong would not be able to sit still as soon as the news came out that this case would be retried.

And he occupies a high position, even if Jian's is one of the top companies in Nancheng, he must be extra cautious. If he is not careful, he may be assassinated.

The old man naturally understood her worries and agreed wholeheartedly. He also asked her not to go out alone and to stay with Gu Yanchuan as much as possible.

Jian Qiao looked at the young man beside her, her eyes full of peace of mind.

"Grandpa, don't worry, with Yanchuan by my side, everything will be fine."

A few days later, with the help of lawyers, the case was finally reopened for investigation. As soon as the news came out, the whole village was happy for them, and even held a banquet in the village to celebrate that she was about to get her revenge.

Jian Qiao originally thought this was too high-profile. After all, she didn't dare to take a wrong step in this limelight, but they were so enthusiastic that she couldn't bear to refuse in the end.

But this time she refused to drink no matter what. She knew what kind of tough battle she was going to fight next, and she had to keep herself awake at all times.

And she also remembered her grandfather's words and followed Gu Yanchuan almost every step of the way.

By the time the banquet was over, it was already dark, and the two of them walked hand in hand towards the B&B. On the way, Jian Qiao suddenly smelled the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes and pestered him to buy them.

Gu Yanchuan told her to stand still and not move. He would be back soon, and Jian Qiao obediently agreed.

There were very few people in the village at night, and Jian Qiao was stepping on stones back and forth to play, as if she wanted to find a chance to relax from the oppressive life that she had been living for so long.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind her. She thought it was Gu Yanchuan at first. Just as she was about to turn around in joy, the back of a dagger was suddenly pressed against her lower back.

She immediately held her breath and tried to stay calm.
