Chapter 67 Xiao Bing came to the market! (1/2)
None of the Xie Family knew about the kidnapping of Xie Gucheng until 3 AM. A sturdy man woke up at the crack of dawn. He looked around and was startled when he saw the vacant wheel chair. He instantly roused the man beside him and the two rushed toward Xie Gucheng's bedroom door.
Xie Lun and his wife were sleeping, but they were woken up by the sound of the door being broken down. Xie Lun immediately sat up and put his hand on his wife's chest, but felt his hand sticky and he even smelt fish. Trembling, he reached out his other hand and turned the lights on. He was extremely shocked by what he saw next. He shrieked out of panic while pointing at his wife. He even fainted after his eyes rolled back.
His wife was frightened as well. She reached out her hands and soon found they were covered with blood. Then she fixed her eyes on the bed and saw a bloody dog head lying between their pillows.
When the two man broke in, they found the couple both unconsciousness, which shocked the both of them. They instantly woke up all others in the mansion and called the ambulance.
The news that morning was reporting that Xie Gucheng, the only living son of Xie Lun, appeared naked in the downtown area in the middle of the night, along with the news that Xie Lun and his wife were sent to the hospital because of their heart attacks, and their lives were at risk.
After getting up from bed, Xiao Bing gently knocked on Xiaoxiao's door. Xiaoxiao answered the door while still wearing her pajamas, and her eyes were bloodshot.
”You look appalling,” said Xiao Bing with concern on his face, ”Don't go anywhere today. Just rest at home. You were definitely frightened last night.”
”Okay...” Xiaoxiao sighed, ”I just can't understand why my classmate wants to harm me. I just wanted to celebrate her birthday. I passed out right after I drank the shot she gave me.”
”You can't judge a book by its cover,” Xiao Bing sighed, ”The Xie family is wealthy. Your friend could be bribed. Maybe she was in it for the money or they threatened her with her family. Anyway... I intended to avenge for you, but I thought it would be better if you handled it yourself. I can't do what I did to the rascals to a girl who was led astray.”
”I see.” Xiaoxiao sighed again, ”I'll fix it myself.”
”Go rest. I have something to take care of... This is not a coincidence. I promised your sister that I'd look after you, so I can't let anything happen to you anymore.”
”Thank you.” Xiaoxiao said sternly while looking at him. ”If it were not for you yesterday...”
”Don't say that. I should go now.”
Xiaoxiao's eyes gleamed with tears while she stared at his back.
Xiao Bing directly went into the kitchen after he walked into the noodle house. Dumbass was trimming the vegetables. Xiao Bing patted him on the shoulder and said, ”Let's go. I'm giving you a day off. Let's have some fun.
Dumbass put down the vegetables and his eyes brightened, ”Really? You're not lying to me? Will there be any deductions? Will you let me starve?”
Xiao Bing grinned, ”Of course not. I'll take you to dinner night.”
Patting his chest, Dumbass said, ”I'll do whatever Brother Bing says.”
Then Xiao Bing said to Wang Guifang, ”Auntie Wang, we have something to do today. It seems that you have lots of work to do today.”
”Just do it. There will be no problem.”
Xiao Bing pondered for a while and said, ”By the way, I believe that the store next to us will be transferred to us soon.”
According to that IOU, the store would be transferred if Zhu Liya couldn't pay her debt in time. Since Zhu Liya was gone, it was impossible for her to pay the debt. Even if she had a lawyer, Xiao Bing could pay the rest and take the store according to the contract.
Wang Guifang's eyes brightened instantly. ”Really?”
She had been waiting for the expansion for a very long time. Though it was just a small noodle house, there were many customers every day. They would be in need of more workers if the expansion was finished, which would reduce their workload. Recently they all felt exhausted when they got home. Although their payment was raised, they didn't want to risk their health.
Grinning, Xiao Bing nodded and patted Dumbass on the shoulder. Then he left the noodle house with Dumbass. On their way to North Mansion, Lil Bei had acquired the North Heaven Queen's information and given it to Xiao Bing.
The North Heaven Queen, also known as the Peony Fairy, female, was the boss of the north section of Jiang City and she usually lived in the North Mansion. The other three Heavenly Kings also had their own mansions in Jiang City. They were respectively named after a cardinal direction: the East Mansion, the West Mansion and the South Mansion. In the North Mansion stood the Heavenly Queen Pavilion, where the queen lived, and the Heavenly Queen Hall, which was used as a meeting room.
That was where Xiao Bing wanted to have fun with Dumbass.
The taxi had to stop at the gate because the guard wouldn't let the car in. Xiao Bing got out of the car after he paid the driver.
Looking at the tall iron gate, Dumbass asked in a silly tone, ”Brother Bing, what should we do. They won't open the gate. Can we jump over it?”
Xiao Bing grinned, ”It's you and me. We don't need to jump.”
