Chapter 209

"Sister Zhong Qiao." Jin Gui noticed that she was not in a good mental state. "Listen to Brother Lin and don't act rashly. What if the other party has a knife and hurts you?"

Zhong Qiao slowly raised his head and looked at the two of them calmly.

She took a long breath and tried to soften her tone.

"Did it scare you?"

"Don't worry, I know what's going on. The person inside is my ex-husband. I just have a few questions for him. As for whether he has any tools, I've checked before and there aren't any."

This was not a lie. Zhong Qiao had already observed from outside the window that the other party came empty-handed and seemed to be looking for something.

She just didn't expect that this person would be Xu Shaojun.

"Sister Zhong Qiao, why don't we just stay here and watch? We're worried about you, a weak woman." Brother Lin was scared himself, but he still suggested enthusiastically, "When he comes out, I'll tie him up. That way he can't get away and won't hurt anyone else."

Zhong Qiao pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"I can't subdue him by myself. To be on the safe side, I'd better call Qiangzi and the others in first."

Brother Lin did not forget to give detailed instructions before leaving.

"Jin Gui, keep a close eye on your sister Zhong Qiao. She must be terrified."

Jingui was still frightened and responded.

Indeed, Zhong Qiao's expression just now was so terrifying. It was the first time she saw her lose her composure like this. It was as if she wanted to kill the people inside, but her face looked very calm.

This kind of calmness that seemed to be about to bring a storm made her feel uneasy. She hoped that Zhong Qiao would cry and make a fuss, and she could accept it even if he just smashed things to vent his anger.

The only thing she couldn't accept was Sister Zhong Qiao's persistent silence.

"Sister Zhong Qiao." Jin Gui approached cautiously, "I've called an ambulance. I believe it should be on the way and arrive soon."

Zhong Qiao remained indifferent, and his whole body still looked numb.

"Sister Zhong Qiao." Jin Gui was almost crying. "Don't scare me, Sister Zhong Qiao. I know you must be feeling very sad right now. Uncle and aunt will definitely be fine. If you really can't help it, you can just cry for a while. Don't hold it in."

Zhong Qiao stretched his lips and forced a smile: "Jin Gui, is my luck really bad?"

“Every time, before I can even enjoy a few days of good fortune, God takes away the little bit of luck I have.”

Jin Gui shook her head: "Sister Zhong Qiao, no, it's not like that."

But she couldn't answer what it looked like.

She could only say, "Sister Zhong Qiao, I've just checked my uncle and aunt's injuries. I remember Luo Xiu told me before, even in the book, that they weren't seriously injured and would be fine."

"Sister Zhong Qiao, there's still Siqi. You have to cheer up. You haven't found Siqi yet. If you collapse now, what will happen to him?"

Zhong Qiao's eyes lit up.

Yes, and Siqi.

With something like this happening at home and her being the only one left, she had to pick herself up again no matter what and absolutely couldn't collapse now.

Zhong Qiao's eyes gradually regained clarity: "Yes, Jingui, you are right."

Coming back to his senses, Brother Lin and the others found a few brave ones to come over.

Qiangzi looked embarrassed: "Brother Lin, if it weren't for you and Sister Zhong Qiao, I wouldn't dare to come here. Are you sure you want to open it? Do you really not need to wait for the police to come?"

This thing is no joke. What if the other party has a knife and sees blood...

No one dares to joke with his own life.

Brother Lin said, "Just open it if I tell you to. How could I harm you? Don't forget that you were idle and didn't work before. Your mother and your pregnant wife almost starved to death. If it weren't for Zhong Qiao's help, you would be left alone. Now I ask you to tie someone up, and you're talking nonsense here?"

Qiangzi complained bitterly: "Brother Lin, I didn't say I wouldn't do it! This, this isn't scary at all? Come on, come on, let's do it now."

Brother Lin rubbed his hands and stepped forward: "Sister Zhong Qiao, you two women should stand back to avoid accidental injury."

Jin Gui pulled Zhong Qiao together and stood outside the living room.

Brother Lin and the others took the tools and the ropes they had found and were fully prepared. Qiangzi was the most timid, and he was responsible for opening the door with a sad face.

At the command, Qiangzi opened the door in one go. Brother Lin and the others took action immediately and pulled Xu Shaojun out before he could react.

"What are you doing?" Xu Shaojun's face turned red.

As soon as he heard that there was no movement outside, he knew that this group of people were planning something bad. In the extremely anxious situation, he had no choice but to compromise. However, he never expected that the situation would be so embarrassing.

"Zhong Qiao." Xu Shaojun was tied up with hemp ropes and struggling on the ground. "Zhong Qiao, I just came to ask you to borrow some money. You don't have to treat me like this, right? Do you have to do this to be satisfied?"

Brother Lin and Qiangzi had both heard about Zhong Qiao. Between men, Xu Shaojun's little tricks could not escape their eyes.

"Bah." Brother Lin stood up for Zhong Qiao. "So it's you, kid. You look clean and innocent, but you can't even afford your wife's medical expenses. Tell me, what's the point of living as a grown man? You might as well just die and save a few mouths of food."

"I may not be a good-for-nothing, but you're even more cruel than me. You're so heartless and ungrateful even to a child." Qiangzi kicked him over. "You're really bringing shame to us men."

Xu Shaojun was kicked to the ground by him, looking very embarrassed: "Zhong Qiao, are you satisfied with the situation now?"

Zhong Qiao didn't say anything, she just looked at him quietly until Xu Shaojun's scalp went numb.

"Zhong Qiao, what's up with you? Are you mute?"

"Sister Zhong Qiao, just ask whatever you want." Brother Lin patted his chest. "This hemp rope is the same way I used to tie it up when I went up the mountain to catch wild boars. I guarantee he won't be able to escape."

Zhong Qiao was particularly grateful: "Thank you all, brothers, but please step aside for a moment. I have a few things to say that are really inconvenient to say in person."

Brother Lin and the others were stunned, their eyes shifting between the two of them.

I've heard about their love-hate relationship before, and now Zhong Qiao has a new family with Dr. Ji. What else can this single man and woman say?

Brother Lin didn't ask any more questions and could only send everyone else away. Even Jin Gui helped Zhong Qiao close the door after receiving a signal from her.

Now, Zhong Qiao and Xu Shaojun were the only ones left in the living room.

Xu Shaojun swallowed his saliva and said, "Zhong Qiao, don't think that I will forgive you just because you give me face now. I tell you, it's too late."

Zhong Qiao's voice was very cold: "Next, I will ask you a few questions, and you must answer truthfully."

Xu Shaojun was a little bit incredulous: "Zhong Qiao, are you listening to me?"
