Chapter 86: Utterly Shameless

Qin Li: "They're just like Hachiko the Loyal Dog. Wait, no, more like Loyal Goose and Eight Dogs. No, that’s not it either. They're just like Hachiko the Loyal Goose. Every day, they pace back and forth at the door, just waiting for their master to appear."

Wang Zixuan: "And who is their master?"

With a mischievous grin, Qin Li pointed at himself and said, "Me, of course."

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then Wang Zixuan exploded, snatching up the desk lamp and swinging it at Qin Li.

Wang Zixuan: "You little rascal, are you messing with me? I’ll twist your head off, do you believe I’ll send you straight to your next life?"

Hao Yingjun was quick to react, immediately stepping in to restrain the furious Wang Zixuan. This was no mere spirit or ghost—Wang Zixuan had more authority here, and if things got out of hand, it could get messy.

Hao Yingjun: "Hey, hey, calm down. Calm down, calm down. Impulsiveness is the devil’s work."

Wang Zixuan, fuming, shoved the lamp aside and glared coldly at Qin Li.

Wang Zixuan: "Don’t try to dodge the question. Can stray geese curse people out?"

Qin Li: "Hey now, that’s going too far. I could sue you for slander. Why are you so sure it’s me? Do you have any evidence? Huh?"

Qin Li first put on a frightened face, but then reverted to his infuriating expression that just begged for a beating.

Hao Yingjun: "Hahaha, fair enough."

Qin Li: "Haha, see? Fair enough, right?"

Hao Yingjun: "It’s fair. Perfectly fair. Sorry about that. Give us a moment. We need to discuss something."

Qin Li: "Discuss? What’s there to discuss?"

Hao Yingjun: "Just something important."

Qin Li started to get riled up: "What do you have to discuss? What is there to talk about?"

Hao Yingjun stood up and pretended he was about to hit Qin Li: "If you don’t let us discuss, I’ll smack you. Got it?"

That actually scared Qin Li enough to stun him into silence.

Hao Yingjun turned and whispered to Wang Zixuan, "Sis, I have an idea—just a rough one..."

Wang Zixuan glanced at Hao Yingjun, then at Qin Li.

Wang Zixuan: "Alright, now tell us about your family background."

Qin Li: "Huh?"

Wang Zixuan: "Who’s your uncle?"

Qin Li: "My uncle?"

Wang Zixuan: "In 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms,' who escaped down Huarong Road?"

Qin Li: "??? What does that have to do with the case?"

Wang Zixuan: "Just answer the question."

Qin Li: "Cao Cao?"

At this moment, under the table, Hao Yingjun stopped the voice recording on his phone and sent it to Duan Peng. Then he headed out to find him. When he arrived, Duan Peng was in the middle of analyzing the audio with high-tech equipment, doing a comparison.

Hao Yingjun: "Mr. Duan, could you please pull up the video from the other day of the goose cursing people out?"

Once Duan Peng finished processing the audio, he pulled up the old video and compared them several times.

Duan Peng: "They don’t match."

Hao Yingjun: "They don’t match? How can that be? Was my recording not clear enough? Should I record it again?"

Duan Peng: "It’s not your recording. They’re just not from the same goose."

With no other choice, they had to let Qin Li go. When he left, he strutted out, full of swagger, but then turned back, leaning against the doorway and staring at Wang Zixuan.

Qin Li: "I abide by the law because I believe in a fair society. You arrested me without any evidence and even threatened to detain me. I’ll be filing a complaint against you."
