What? You're a notorious bandit? What a coincidence, me too!

Fang Qingzhu was stunned: "You weren't arrested?"

"What are you saying? How did your man get arrested!" Lin Chang'an laughed.

"But everyone says you were taken away by the police," Fang Qingzhu said, wiping away her tears.

Lin Chang'an smiled and comforted him, "I can't explain it to you over the phone right now. I'll tell you properly when I get back. Don't worry about it."

"Well... okay, I'll wait for you at your house," Fang Qingzhu said.

Lin Chang'an responded and hung up the phone.

The receiver emitted a busy tone. Fang Qingzhu stood there, holding her phone, stunned, her mind blank.

Lin Chang'an's condition didn't look like he had been arrested by the police at all.

The panic in her heart was diluted by strange emotions, and she lost all sense of order.

In the afternoon, the sound of a car could be heard outside the door.

Fang Qingzhu hurriedly went out and saw Lin Chang'an getting out of a police car.

The police officers in the car exchanged a few pleasantries with Lin Chang'an before leaving.

Fang Qingzhu was completely bewildered. She suddenly threw herself into his arms, hugged him tightly, and began to sob.

Lin Chang'an stumbled from her tackle, but held her tightly, gently patting her back and soothingly saying, "It's alright, it's alright, I was wrong. I should have told you sooner!"

Fang Qingzhu sobbed and punched Lin Chang'an: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Lin Chang'an took Fang Qingzhu home and recounted the whole story, though he made many changes.

Fang Qingzhu grew increasingly shocked as she listened, stroking the certificate of honor in her hand with an expression of disbelief.

"I heard someone caught a murderer, but I never expected it to be you. What a coincidence!"

"There are too many coincidences. After you left that day, the comments section of this book was full of people cursing me, saying why I didn't take you home."

Then I went after you, and by sheer coincidence, I ran into that murderer. The girl was wearing the same dress as you…”

Lin Chang'an explained.

Fang Qingzhu nestled in Lin Chang'an's arms and hugged him, saying, "But you're being too reckless. That's a murderer. What if something happens to you?"

"You should say, 'What if something happens to you?'"

Lin Chang'an interrupted the woman, cupping her face in his hands: "If something happened to you, I don't know how much I would regret it. Besides, who is your man? Would he let some bastard hurt me?"

"Virtue!"

Fang Qingzhu rolled her eyes at Lin Chang'an, but was deeply moved by what the man said.

After a brief moment of tenderness, Lin Chang'an took out another bank card and slapped it into the woman's hand.

"These past two years with me have been filled with making you suffer, but that won't happen again."

Fang Qingzhu stared blankly at the bank card.

Lin Chang'an pinched the other person's nose and said, "You think catching a murderer just gets you a certificate? There's a reward money involved."

"Oh." Fang Qingzhu nodded.

"Don't you want to know how much the reward is?" Lin Chang'an asked.

"I don't care how much money it costs, I'm just worried about what would happen if something happened to you that day..." Fang Qingzhu sighed.

Lin Chang'an smiled and whispered a number in the woman's ear.

Fang Qingzhu's previously indifferent expression suddenly turned to shock.

"You're not lying to me!?"

Why would I lie to you!

Fang Qingzhu exclaimed, "So much money! How long would it take me to earn that much if I went to work?"

Lin Chang'an breathed a long sigh of relief as he looked at his woman's happy expression.

The woman was happy for a while, then suddenly slapped her forehead and said...

"By the way, Uncle San has been quite worried and anxious about this matter today. We need to go and tell him right away."

Lin Chang'an nodded.

The two packed up and headed to Lin Jian's house.

Lin Jianguo.

The food on the table has been reheated three times, but no one has touched it.

Lin Jianguo squatted at the door, smoking one cigarette after another, leaving a pile of cigarette butts on the ground.

Auntie sat on the edge of the bed, frowning, and said, "You'd better make a decision! If Chang'an really gets sentenced to ten or eight years, what will happen to his marriage with Qingzhu? She's pregnant now..."

"What ideas could I possibly have?"

Lin Jianguo pressed the cigarette butt to the ground, his tone full of anger.

"It's all because of this brat's nonsense! He can't live a peaceful life, he just has to go and cause trouble."

Auntie San sighed and muttered to herself.

Lin Shengnan held chopsticks in his hand and poked the noodles in the bowl repeatedly until they were broken, but he didn't eat a single bite.

"Third Uncle! Third Aunt! Open the door!"

Auntie was stunned and subconsciously looked at Lin Jianguo.

"Is it Chang'an?"

Lin Jianguo also looked towards the door in surprise.

Lin Shengnan reacted the fastest, almost jumping off the bench and running towards the door like a gust of wind, frantically opening the door.

Lin Chang'an and Fang Qingzhu were standing at the door.

Lin Jianguo's voice trembled: "Chang'an, are you alright?"

"Third Uncle, can you wish me well? Let's go inside and talk," Lin Chang'an said with a smile.

Lin Jianguo was worried and subconsciously peeked out onto the street, but he didn't see any police cars. His mind went blank, and he was completely confused.

Lin Chang'an smiled and patted Lin Shengnan's head before walking into the house.

Lin Shengnan stood at the door, watching Lin Chang'an's retreating figure, feeling a mix of surprise, confusion, guilt, and relief...

Ten minutes later.

Lin Jianguo still looked unconvinced: "Chang'an, is what you're saying true?"

"Third Uncle, why don't you believe me?"

Lin Chang'an smiled helplessly, "The certificates are all in your hands, how could they be fake?"

"My God, this, this, this..." Lin Jianguo was so surprised that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"What is this?"

Third Aunt smiled broadly, "As long as nothing bad has happened, that's good."

Lin Hongbin was also temporarily released, and he said with a proud look on his face: "I told you, my brother would definitely be fine, but you didn't believe me."

"When adults are talking, kids shouldn't interrupt." Lin Jianguo tapped him on the head.

"Alright, let's turn a bad thing into a good thing. Your third uncle and I were so worried about you today."

Third Aunt said, "I'll cook a whole new meal for us; we have to celebrate properly."

"Auntie, let me help you," Fang Qingzhu quickly stood up and offered.

"No need, no need, you rest."

Auntie pushed Fang Qingzhu to sit down, smiling as she walked towards the kitchen, "Nannan! Come on, help me out!"

"Okay." Lin Shengnan also had a smile on her face.

Dinner proceeded in a harmonious atmosphere.

Lin Chang'an and his third uncle drank quite a bit of alcohol, and it was already dark by the time they finished eating.

Lin Chang'an led Fang Qingzhu home by the hand.

Fang Qingzhu had been living in fear all day, and only now, holding Lin Chang'an's hand, did she finally feel at ease.

After washing up, Lin Chang'an held the woman and fell asleep, soon snoring.

Fang Qingzhu nestled in his arms, listening to the man's strong, powerful heartbeat, and bit her lip...
