Chapter 616: Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain

Zhao Si chuckled: "Miss Zhou, please stop being so sarcastic. The money may not mean much to you, but in my eyes it is the foundation of my life. I..."

If it comes to fighting, he might just get pinned to the ground and beaten, but when it comes to extorting money, he does it with great enthusiasm and skill!

Miss Zhou really wanted to strangle this ungrateful man to death, but she couldn't even roll her eyes at Zhao Si.

Because, how could the pure, flawless, beautiful and kind Miss Zhou get angry over such a small thing?

"Zhou Chenghe, bring the money over!" Zhou Qingyan took a few quick breaths.

She seemed to feel that her tone was too harsh, so she softened it again: "Brother Zhou, after paying the compensation, let's go back quickly. I suddenly feel very uncomfortable in my heart and can't breathe."

The Zhou family left in disgrace.

Zhao Si had no intention of opening the business at this time, so he simply locked the door and counted the money with a smile on his face.

Hu Laosan sent some of his disciples back and led the other half of the Du family's disciples to guard outside the door.

Hu Xin'er walked into the shop and gulped down several large gulps of water: "I'm really exhausted."

Although it feels good to give someone a taste of their own medicine, it does require a lot of brainpower and acting skills.

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that the atmosphere in the shop was a little strange. Everyone else was looking at her in surprise, as if they were shocked by the contrast between her behavior in front of others and behind them.

Zhao Si put the silver into his pocket and praised her sincerely, "Sister, you are worthy of being my sister. You are truly the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, turning everything you touch into gold. Even a family as poor and vicious as the Zhou family can be squeezed out of money by you!"

He looked at Hu Xiner with eyes full of admiration.

However, this admiration was not due to Hu Xiner's appearance or personal charm, but purely due to her ability to make money.

Hu Xin'er wouldn't be fooled by his sweet words. She held out her hand and said, "I saw Zhou Chenghe gave you all his money. Hurry up and give me 80%."

"Isn't 80% a bit too much?" Zhao Si pointed at his face, then at his mud-stained clothes, and said with a sad face, "Sister, this is hard labor, and the money is not much to begin with, and you still want to take 80% -"

He opened his mouth wide, ready to cry, but Hu Xin'er rolled her eyes: "Are you going to give it to me or not? If not, I'll have your brother-in-law search me directly."

Only then did Zhao Si hand over half of the money.

Although it was money, the pain went to his heart. He grimaced as if his flesh was being peeled off alive.

Hu Laosan also followed in. He closed the door and bowed, saying, "Mrs. Lu's quick wit just now is truly admirable."

"This is the only way to deal with people like this." Hu Xin'er said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you brothers."

Hu Lao San sighed, "If my young lady had been as adaptable as you, why would she have been schemed against by Miss Zhou for so many years?"

"Come to think of it, I thought I'd have to fight Miss Zhou for a bit more," Hu Xin'er said thoughtfully. "Judging from her usual style, she's determined to achieve her goals. She definitely won't back down just because she's angry."

"Is there something fishy going on here?" Hu Laosan was a burly man. Although he was smart, he didn't quite understand the twists and turns involved.

A small sedan chair covered in green gauze shuttled through the streets. Zhou Chenghe walked beside it with a sullen face: "Why did you give up so easily, young lady?"

Miss Zhou's voice came from the sedan chair: "For the sake of Mr. Lu, I will show them some leniency."

"Miss, are you really interested in the second son of the Lu family?" Zhou Chenghe frowned. "I'm afraid the master won't agree?"

Zhou Qingyan disagreed: "Can he see it? Talents like the second son of the Lu family are rare in the world. Daddy should be extremely happy to see him."

Zhou Chenghe reminded: "But the Lu family is very close to the Du family."

"Oh, the Lu family." Zhou Qingyan smiled meaningfully. "They are busy with their own affairs right now, so how can they care who the Second Young Master is dating? Soon, they won't have time to deal with the rumors. After all..."

She curled her lips and asked, "Are all the things for face-changing ready?"

Zhou Chenghe said very respectfully: "It's all ready and will be available in two days."

"Why two more days?" Zhou Qingyan frowned. "Mrs. Lu's intelligence far exceeds my imagination. I'm worried that things will change because of her."

Zhou Chenghe said with some embarrassment: "But, we are already a long time ahead of schedule, we can't go any faster."

Zhou Qingyan stroked her veil and sighed softly, "Who told Lu Lang to come so early? He really makes me miss him so much."

Her little finger trembled slightly, and she was more excited about face-changing, a sorcery that was considered evil by the world.

Finally...finally...

After waiting for so many years, she can finally collect all the medicinal herbs and become the truly beautiful Miss Zhou!

I just don’t know what people’s reaction would be when they finally clear Miss Du of her injustice and see that Miss Zhou has a face similar to Miss Du’s?

The corners of her lips curled slightly, and she called out tenderly, "Lu Lang, will you be happy?"

Lu Yunjue, who was being thought of by everyone, sneezed.

He was supposed to be guarding his mother's bedside, but now he was standing in front of the City God Temple, feeling confused and uncertain.

Half an hour ago, he saw a shadow running out of the mansion, and he suspected it was the trace of a traitor.

So he asked Miss Du to help take care of his mother while he chased after her.

But when they chased to the City God Temple, they found that the shadow had disappeared.

Behind the stone statue in the City God Temple, a small figure hid in the secret passage and carefully closed the mechanism.

"Why do you have to go to such lengths to expose your tracks?" A deep voice came from behind her in the dark passage.

The secret passage was completely closed. Jiang Ning chuckled softly in the darkness, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. With the Du family here, we'll never be able to do anything to Hu Xin'er and the others. So why don't we help the Du family?"

Footsteps were heard inside the dilapidated City God Temple. Just when Lu Yunjue wanted to go behind the stone statue to take a look, he heard someone running behind him.

He looked closely and found that it was Hu Laosan.

"Didn't you accompany my sister-in-law to the comic book store? Why are you here?" Lu Yunjue was startled. "Could something have happened to my sister-in-law?"

Hu Laosan's face was extremely anxious: "No, Second Young Master, it's our young lady who's missing. Haven't you seen her?"

What? Miss Du is missing?

Lu Yunjue's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he had fallen into a trap set by someone to lure the tiger away from the mountain?
