Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 380 - 9: Child-Rearing Strategy (9)

As a thug, besides bullying outsiders on the street or collecting protection fees, stealing and sneaky stuff weren’t uncommon for him.

Zhang Cheng had it all planned. In the evening, he’d go to Li Shuning’s place, pick the lock, sneak in while the woman was asleep, and then have his way with her. Would she make a fuss about it then?

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng felt this plan was a good one.

Just to be safe, Zhang Cheng made sure everything was ready, and only set out for the neighboring town the next night.

He wore a thick coat and squatted in the corner opposite Li Shuning’s house. At this time, most people were asleep early to save electricity, and there were few with TVs, so evening entertainment was scarce.

Those with wives naturally cuddled their wives, while those without went to sleep early, waking up early to do more work.

Zhang Cheng arrived around ten o’clock, and by this time, there was no one outside. It was pitch black, and even if there were people, they wouldn’t notice Zhang Cheng. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

He hid in that corner, which was even darker and more concealed. Anyone not deliberately walking there probably wouldn’t see him.

Zhang Cheng noticed that there were still lights on in Li Shuning’s room.

Li Shuning usually went to bed late, generally around ten-thirty or eleven, and woke up around eight in the morning.

At this moment, she was reading a book.

Before sleeping, she checked the baby, touched its back, found it wasn’t sweating, and then turned off the light.

Zhang Cheng was feeling quite cold at this point.

Though it was autumn, the daytime wasn’t too cold, but the temperature difference at night and in the morning was significant.

Even with a thick coat, Zhang Cheng still felt a bit cold.

Seeing the light in Li Shuning’s room finally go off, he let out a sigh of relief.

However, this clearly wasn’t the best time to go in; the woman probably hadn’t fallen asleep yet.

Making any noise now wouldn’t be good.

He hadn’t succeeded yet, and although he had brought some drugs, if the woman noticed something was amiss and called for help, it would be all for naught.

Besides, Zhang Cheng thought the woman, going to bed so late, was obviously lonely.

If he went in then, she would probably be delighted.

Xiaoxiao said this woman cared a lot about her reputation. With the light off at this time and no man around, she clearly wasn’t with anyone.

Zhang Cheng waited another two hours and finally started moving past midnight.

He quickly darted into the backyard of Li Shuning’s house.

He climbed over from the fence side.

After coming into this world, Li Shuning knew from the plot that Zhang Cheng was the kind of person who would stop at nothing.

He could use drugs, use whatever.

Yesterday, he must have been instigated by Tao Xiaoxiao to come over, seen her, and surely would do something.

It’s not that Li Shuning was confident, thinking she was beautiful, or anything like that, but in the plot, Zhang Cheng only needed to see the original character once to follow and drug her.

Thus, after returning from the market earlier, Li Shuning set up security measures around her house.

These things were high-tech products from the real world.

If touched, they would sound an alarm.

Li Shuning had installed such alarms on the fence outside and the door.

When Zhang Cheng climbed over the fence, due to being stiff from squatting in the corner for too long, he inadvertently triggered several alarms on the fence.

Li Shuning heard the soft beeping sound in the bedroom and woke up immediately.

She released her spiritual power and immediately sensed who was outside.

Li Shuning sneered inwardly; indeed, he couldn’t hold back.

Sneaking in and then using drugs?

There are children here too.

Li Shuning couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger.

She extended her spiritual power again, and soon, Eldest Sister-in-law Ye’s husband came out of his room, feeling as though he had heard something.

Guided by Li Shuning’s spiritual power, he immediately saw the sneaky Zhang Cheng.

Tao Tao shouted out loud, "Thief, thief, someone come quick."

He himself immediately grabbed a hoe from the corner of the yard and chased after Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng was startled by the shout; he was picking the lock at that moment, and upon hearing the sound, didn’t even have time to collect his tools, turned around trying to escape.

He cursed inwardly; how could he be discovered at a time like this? Could it be this man was having an affair with this woman and came out to catch someone?

Why else would he come out in the middle of the night?

Tao Tao was strong and fit from years of work, and Zhang Cheng, being a loafer, couldn’t compare to Tao Tao.

Moreover, guided by Li Shuning’s spiritual power, Tao Tao seemed to be able to see Zhang Cheng in the dark, and soon captured him.

After he was caught, many people were awakened and rushed over, soon the entire town was in an uproar.

Li Shuning called the troops, while others called the police.

The local police station arrived, and there were people here who had specially notified them.

"This guy is called Zhang Cheng, a bum from the neighboring town. Why is he here? Was he trying to steal something?"

At this time, Zhang Cheng was tied up with ropes and had a rag stuffed in his mouth.

He wanted to say something but couldn’t.

The police had already found drugs and some tools on him.

And those searching at the back door found tools for picking locks.

Many households were woken up.

This town, due to having troops nearby, had always had good security, and there hadn’t been any sneaky theft incidents for years.

So many people came to watch.

Li Shuning turned on the front yard light, and many people held torches, making the night as bright as day.

People around started discussing, "Was this guy here to steal something?"

"It seems more than that. Look at the stuff he brought, and those pills too. He’s crazy to come here."

With everything laid out, the police saw so many people around, and Li Shuning was there, with a child in the house; if taken to the station, it would wake the child up and make them sick.

Considering this, the leading officer asked, "Sister-in-law Li, should we go to the station or question him here?"

Li Shuning looked coldly at Zhang Cheng, "Here is fine. Solving this here will put my mind at ease."

Zhang Cheng felt something was strange; why did people in this town have a peculiar attitude towards this woman?

The police removed the rag from Zhang Cheng’s mouth.

Zhang Cheng immediately shouted, "I’m innocent, I’m innocent! I wasn’t here to steal; Li Shuning invited me over."

As soon as these words came out, onlookers were in an uproar.
