C96 (1/2)
”I see.” Xia Li said as he chased in the direction in which Xia Chunhua and had escaped.
Perhaps it was because they were guilty, but Xia Chunhua and Jin Xi'er walked very slowly, keeping watch from the front and back. After an hour, they sneaked into the town and arrived at the gambling den in Rich Man Yang.
Xia Li and Sun Chun could only wait outside the gambling den.
In the gambling house, Xia Chunhua's face had two additional bright red palm prints, with blood at the corner of his mouth. He knelt on the ground, not daring to cry.
Jin Xi'er was pinned to the ground by the two of them, staring at the ground with hatred.
”Do you think I'm a fool? Ordinary herbs used to dispel the cold wind are trying to fool me! ” Rich Man Yang sat on the high seat and slapped the table heavily.
”God of Fortune, we were wronged, we followed Xia Li for a long time, and finally found an opportunity to track her and pick the herbs. Seeing how she was careful of the treasures, we thought it was the pain medicine's formula, so we immediately stole it to honor you.” Xia Chunhua covered his mouth, his entire body shivering, afraid that he would say another wrong word, and would be beaten up again.
”Elder, this woman is simply a piece of trash. She doesn't have anything to repay the brothers who are following her, other than playing around and fighting Xia Li, she doesn't have the trust of the Xia family. It's really hard to believe that she would steal the prescription.”
”Why don't we just give it a try …” The boss was interrupted by Jin Xi'er before he could finish.
”Wait, if you let my mother go, I'll steal the prescription.”
”You? A silly little girl, don't you dare spout such arrogant words. ” When the boss saw Jin Xi'er's face, he felt a bit of goosebumps. He could not help but change his tone of voice.
”Little girl, tell me about it.” Rich Man Yang had the intention to tease him, ”If you don't satisfy me, both you and your mother will not be let off.”
”Stupid girl, do you want to die?” Xia Chunhua warned Jin Xi'er.
”Old witch, shut up.” The boss waved his hand, scaring Xia Chunhua, who immediately shut his mouth.
”Xia Li still doesn't know that my mother is doing this for the God of Fortune. As long as the matter has not been exposed, we still have room for negotiation. Xia Li would never imagine that the relatives around her would sell her out.
After Jin Xi'er finished speaking, he kneeled on the ground and looked up at Rich Man Yang.
Rich Man Yang was silent for a moment, then his eyes flashed with a trace of dark ruthlessness, ”As expected, it is the most venomous woman's heart, then I will give you guys a chance, don't disappoint me.”
”But I need the God of Fortune to help me find two hooligans. They have to listen to my orders.” Jin Xi'er smiled as she finished her sentence.
”What do you want to do?” Rich Man Yang stared at Jin Xi'er, his expression gloomy.
”When the time comes, the God of Fortune will know. Now, are you going to tell me if you want to help me or not? ” Jin Xi'er's heart was thumping hard, she was betting on it.
”I don't like people playing tricks with me. I'll give you three days, but without any results. At that time, I'll deal with you two properly. Don't disturb anyone and let them go.”
The Rich Man Yang ordered.
”But they …” The boss was still not convinced.
”No buts. I think what that girl said makes sense. Do as I say.” Rich Man Yang was getting impatient.
”Yes, grandpa. This subordinate will handle it right away.” The boss said that this generation's leader had released Xia Chunhua and Jin Xi'er.
The boss sent two brutes to Jin Xi'er, and then Jin Xi'er let the two of them hide in the darkness. She took Xia Chunhua and escaped back to hospital, not leaving the main door even when they were inside, and the two of them secretly sighed in relief.
After a few days, Jin Xi'er and Xia Chunhua were not only well-behaved, but they also took the initiative to help Lee's tidy up his house and sweep through the courtyard.
Xia Li and Sun Chun had been monitoring the mother and daughter duo for two days, and had not found the opportunity to expose them.
”Continuing like this isn't a solution. I've been thinking for a long time, but I've thought of a method that can attract them to reveal themselves.” Xia Li said, and whispered into Sun Chun's ear.
”I don't agree. You are in danger.” Sun Chun's first reaction was to refuse.
”Believe me, we must always take the initiative in order to have the chance to clearly see what their goal is.” Xia Li advised Sun Chun.
”Okay, let's split up. Once things change, you have to find a way to get out of this, okay?” In fact, Sun Chun was not at all at ease with Xia Li.
”Alright.” Xia Li hugged Sun Chun with a smile and gave him a kiss.
When the sun rose, the family finished washing up and sat around the stone table in the backyard to eat breakfast. Seeing that Sun Chun was not in his seat, Xia Chunhua rolled his eyes and asked Xia Li with a smile.
”Xia Li, where did your hubby go? I was just about to serve him food.”
”Aunt, he went out to do some work. He probably won't be back for a day.” Xia Li said without care.
”Aiyo, then that's a pity, my Xi'er made the carp soup that she's good at, and wanted to give it to everyone to have a taste, Young Master Sun missed it this time.”
”It doesn't matter, the next time Young Master comes, I'll just do it again.” Jin Xi'er was a little embarrassed, but she could still let the people around her clearly feel her concern for Sun Chun.
