Transmigrated into a poor peasant family, lacking clothes and food, life is hard enough, why must she also be schemed against by her only relative?
So she's not their biological child, wh...
Xu Tian never dreamed that the woman who had dealt with him would come back. If he had known, he probably would have stayed at home and never come out.
Ever since Jiang Qiao taught them a lesson, these two brothers have become much more restrained than before.
Jiang Qiao encountered Hou Diankui, who was waiting for her, on the way. The two of them followed Xu Tian out of the black market, one after the other.
Xu Tian was quite pleased with himself for getting his commission today, but little did he know that before he could even wake up from his dream, Jiang Qiao and the other person gave him a fright.
Suddenly, the old man's dagger was pressed against Xu Tian's neck from behind.
"Kid, don't move. Let's talk this out. If you want to live, answer my questions."
"Who, who are you people?"
Jiang Qiao walked up to Xu Tian from behind and asked, "Guess who we are?"
Upon seeing Jiang Qiao, Xu Tian was stunned and didn't recognize that this woman was the one who had taught them a lesson before.
"Hey, big sister, let's talk this over. What do you want? If I have it, I'll try my best to make it happen, okay? If you take someone's life, you won't get anything out of it, and you'll end up being wanted by the police. It's not worth it. Let's talk this over."
Jiang Qiao looked at Xu Tian with a smile in her eyes, "I should be the one saying that. Since you've brought it up, we can talk more easily. Look, have you seen this person before?"
Xu Tian blinked when he saw the photo in Jiang Qiao's hand. "This, isn't this the wanted poster that was just issued today? We've all seen this person's photo. Are you looking for him?"
Jiang Qiao nodded, while Xu Tian shook his head. "To tell you the truth, I've never seen this person before. I did see him before, but that was years ago. He's long gone. It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I really don't know him."
Hou Diankui patted Xu Tian on the shoulder. "Young man, don't rush to answer. Let's find somewhere to talk. Don't even think about escaping. You can only escape from the two of us if you're a god."
Xu Tian now realizes that he has met a master tonight. He just doesn't know where this grudge came from. With so many people in the black market, why did they choose him?
"Hey buddy, can you take that knife off me? It's stuck to my neck, I'm scared. I've told you the truth, I really don't know."
Jiang Qiao glared at Xu Tian. "Look at your cowardice. Nothing's happened yet. If you ran into that woman again, would you wet your pants?"
Xu Tian looked Jiang Qiao up and down. "Who are you? How do you know about this? Is that woman from your family?"
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "You're right, those are my sisters, okay?"
Xu Tian shook his head, looking puzzled. "Wait, why does your voice sound so much like hers? You, you're that woman?"
Jiang Qiao tugged at Xu Tian and said, "Let's talk somewhere else."
Jiang Qiao ignored him, so even if Xu Tian shouted himself hoarse, it wouldn't make a difference. Besides, he didn't dare to act recklessly. Last time, he was beaten up like a kitten, and that was only because she didn't do anything to him. If this woman went crazy again, he didn't know how he would die. He'd better behave himself.
Once they reached a safe place, Jiang Qiao leaned against the wall. "Xu Tian, I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Who runs this black market? What's their background? And why are you helping them?"
Xu Tian really didn't want to tell the truth about this. This was a mistake, and Jiang Qiao had caught him red-handed. What would happen then? Wouldn't this woman have him completely under her thumb?
Hou Diankui urged from the side, "Speak quickly, don't try to fool us. We're doing you a favor by finding you."
Jiang Qiao stared at Xu Tian. "Xu Tian, you know what kind of person I am. This is not the time to bargain with you. I need to know everything. Perhaps the person on the wanted poster has some kind of connection with the people in this black market. If you don't want your whole family to suffer, tell me what you know now."
This time, Xu Tian was dumbfounded. "What do you mean? You mean Lao Liu has connections with this wanted criminal?"
Jiang Qiao nodded. "Perhaps we are currently investigating. You are now the main target of our investigation. I don't care what your relationship with them is. Now, you must tell us everything in detail. Also, if you don't want to die, you'd better keep quiet about meeting the two of us."
Xu Tian mustered his courage and asked, "Who exactly are you people?"
Hou Diankui snorted, "Don't worry about who we are. Knowing too much won't do you any good. But I can tell you, we are messengers of justice. The rest, you can guess for yourself."
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "Xu Tian, think carefully about what my master said before you speak."
Xu Tian's legs felt a little weak. He wondered what these two people were really like. Could they have come here specifically to investigate them?
"Um, sister, please, really, I haven't done anything immoral. I'm helping them because I want to earn more money to buy my parents some good food."
I just want to save some money to get married. Really, I've never done anything like murder or arson.
Hou Diankui slapped Xu Tian on the shoulder and said, "What's wrong with your brain, young man? Did I ask you any of these questions? Talk about the black market, talk about that person, stop wasting your breath."
Jiang Qiao nodded. "Xu Tian, I don't care what you did before or what you're going to do in the future. Right now, my attention isn't on you. You can rest assured that I'm only looking for this person. The rest has nothing to do with us."
Jiang Qiao's words reassured Xu Tian a lot. "As long as you don't worry about this, I'm really scared of you."
This black market boss is known as Old Liu by people in the underworld. I don't know his real name; I've only met him twice.
I don't know where this person usually lives. I came to help him through his subordinates. His subordinates are my friends. They can get a lot of things. I just wanted to earn some pocket money.
I heard that Old Liu has some special abilities; most of the things they have are sold through the black market.
As for the person on the wanted poster, I haven't seen him since. I don't know if he's come to our area.
That's all I know, please, let me go—"
Hou Diankui kicked Xu Tian and said, "So, you don't know anything, but you dare to work with others like this? Aren't you afraid of helping the wrong person?"
What if this person is a bad guy? What if you get caught and implicate them? You're asking for trouble! Giving up a legitimate job just for a few bucks?
Hou Diankui's kick made Xu Tian's butt hurt. "Old man, take it easy. We don't have any money at home, why should I care so much? They don't owe me any money. They'll settle the bill when the time comes. Why should I ask so many questions? We don't even know when it will end."
Besides, the more you know, the faster you die. I'd rather know nothing at all; people would feel more at ease, wouldn't they?
