Chapter 205
However, contrary to his expectations, the sulfur did not have the effect he had hoped for. After finding that his body had not moved, the uncle panicked and went to a nearby pharmacy to grab some sulfur and tried to chew it dry. He only stopped this almost self-abuse behavior after being stopped by the apprentice.
He slid down to the ground with a dejected look on his face, his eyes dull and his lips trembling: "It's over, it's all over..."
The apprentice who had finally snatched the sulfur back said: That’s great, I don’t have to pay for it.
"You've eaten too much sulfur. Would you like some duck? I'll give you a discount." The burly man from the duck stall next door came over and asked.
"It's already this late, and you're still doing business here! Why are you still eating duck meat? I'm... what on earth did you do to me! She said I was fine before!" The uncle sat up in shock from his dying illness, hugged his legs, and roared to the sky: "I'm going to report to the police!"
"Hey, you are so ungrateful! People who feel unwell after eating sulfur come to me to buy duck meat. I asked you a question with good intentions, but I asked the wrong question!" The duck stall owner was so angry that he squeezed back into the crowd on the spot: "Whatever you want!" It was unnecessary for me to ask you!
The captain, whose legs were hugged again, said: "Let go first." Can't you just hold your own legs?
Player: I can’t finish it. I can’t finish this melon at all…
Bei Qiao, who was originally planning to say goodbye, said: Let me listen for a while longer, it's quite interesting.
Ding Lang and Ren Sirong, who had just been arguing fiercely, glared at each other. "Speak a little quieter! You're disturbing my gossip! Hey! You're glaring at me!"
Originally, the young man was the one who was right. After all, the uncle was also involved in the sale of his daughter. If it were really exposed, he would not end up well. Not to mention what would happen to the young man, the uncle would definitely be adding insult to injury.
But now that the drugging incident had been exposed, the young man was no longer in the right. Add to that the fact that the man was wearing women's clothing and the way he had just escaped from the young man's house, and it wouldn't take until nightfall for gossip about the two of them to spread throughout Chuzhou City. If this matter wasn't explained, the young man wouldn't be able to find a partner in Chuzhou City, and if nothing unexpected happened, he wouldn't even get a recommendation letter from the school.
But what's the explanation? The young man, like the uncle, was no more innocent than the man. Not only did he readily agree to the uncle's offer to sell the girl to pay off his debts, he also carried out the kidnapping operation alongside him. After returning home, he even drugged the woman, fearing she wouldn't comply. While it's unclear what led to the kidnapping and drugging of the man, whether it was the uncle or the girl, the crime is still punishable by prison.
"Even if you can't do it, that's your own business! I don't have that kind of medicine at home!" The young man's mother threw her husband, whose face was swollen from being beaten, to the ground. She ran to the captain of the police and pointed at the uncle's nose and cursed: "Sir, I'm going to report it to the police too! Because our family didn't agree to his proposal to sell our daughter to pay off the debt, and he couldn't pay the money, so he dressed up as a woman and ran to our house in the middle of the night. He even touched my son's bedside in the middle of the night. If we hadn't had a family dinner that night and everyone stayed up late, I'm afraid he would have succeeded!"
Those who saw the uncle climbing the wall and shouting for help before: Wow, this is an awesome way to turn the tables.
"Bullshit! You were the ones who captured me! You dressed me up like this and threatened to take me to the shelter... They heard everything!" The uncle, unaware that his makeup and clothes were done by his ex-wife, held his head high and pointed at Ding Lang, Ren Sirong and the others, holding the captain's thigh: "It's embarrassing, but I have witnesses! A lot of them!"
The captain kicked his legs, looked at Ding Lang and Ren Sirong who were folding their arms, then looked at the servants of the Qiao family who were about to leave as if it had nothing to do with him, and finally looked at Sun Cheng and his group: "What he said is true." He had never seen so many witnesses who could not be offended!
Sun Cheng and the other players looked at each other in bewilderment. "I think he said that? I wasn't paying much attention at the time." Their main target was Ding Lang, and they only shifted their attention when the old man suddenly appeared over the wall and cried for help. Although they saw the young man threatening the old man, they didn't pay much attention to the specific words he said.
"You...you at least saw that he was threatening me, right?" The uncle looked incredulous: No, so many people are unreliable?
"I saw this. At that time, this uncle climbed up the wall, and then this person..."
"Well! In order to slander my son, you actually found someone to pretend to be my son and threaten you in public!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the young man's mother quickly interrupted the player and found another point to confuse right and wrong: Anyway, my son later walked out of the gate, and I said that the threatening son in front was pretended by someone else, what can you do to me?
Onlookers: Wow, there is no end to this gossip.
"You, you guys..." The uncle held the captain's thigh with one hand, covered his chest with the other hand and breathed hard: "You are slandering me! There is still soup you spilled on my clothes. If we find a doctor, they will definitely find out what was added to it!"
"So what? Even if I have that kind of medicine at home, it was bought by this guy who can't control himself! My son will never give drugs to you... a sloppy guy!" The young man's mother glanced at the uncle with contempt, and continued to throw the blame on her husband without hesitation: Just think that this scumbag deserves it!
"You! You are forcing me... Sir, I report it! This family conspired with me to kidnap my daughter, and even after failing, they refused to let me go!" Under heavy blows, the uncle went crazy and was determined to drag this shameless family into the water even at the risk of increasing his sentence.
"No... Sir, he's spreading rumors! It's slander! It's defamation!"
"I! Have! Proof!" The uncle pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket. "This is the plan we jointly drafted and signed after conspiring together."
The captain took the plan with a dull expression. The detectives leaned over from behind him, trying to read the contents of the plan and see the signatures of the two eccentric kidnappers: "In this day and age, there are actually criminals who write crime plans" and sign them together. What should they say? Thank you for the gift of these two idiots, which saved them a lot of time in collecting evidence and conducting interrogations.
This is also what the other onlookers wanted to say. Most people would want to wipe out all traces of bad things when they do them, but these two people wrote a plan and signed their names, just like doing normal business... But this is the most abnormal thing. The criminal plan is not protected by law, so why did they sign a contract for their criminal behavior?
Young man: "I'm not afraid that he will regret it..."
The young man’s mother kicked her son and said, “Shut up! Sir, he just signed it but didn’t do it!” He is a guy who is good at making trouble but not good at doing anything!
There were too many onlookers here, which blocked the traffic, so the captain of the police led his team to take away the uncle and the young man's family of three. As for Ding Lang and Ren Sirong and their group, he chose to turn a blind eye. Anyway, he couldn't afford to offend anyone.
Sun Cheng's plan failed, and she failed to put Ding Lang in the sack. But she refused to give up, and most of the players were happy to play along. However, besides Sun Cheng, Ding Lang and Ren Sirong also refused to give up. Bei Qiao, who had been about to abandon the mission and leave the city, was helplessly pursued by these two and their servants.
"Brother Qiao is indeed a handsome man, able to attract the daughters of two wealthy families to chase after him." Qiao Lin, who intercepted Bei Qiao on the way, led him to the third floor of the teahouse and sat down. He looked down at the people below who were running around like headless flies looking for Bei Qiao, and his words were polite with a hint of teasing.
"Thank you for the compliment." Bei Qiao gave the same polite smile as Qiao Lin.
Qiao Lin: “…Tsk!” No wonder my aunt gave him the fan, he really is that damn good looking.
Bei Qiao had the fan in hand, and while Qiao Lin didn't particularly want to care about Bei Qiao, he couldn't just ignore her. Ding Lang and Ren Sirong had notoriously bad reputations in Chuzhou City. If people knew that Qiao Qiao was being harassed on Qiao family territory and no one paid any attention, not only would Qiao Qiao's identity as a distant cousin be questioned, but bad rumors would also circulate about the Qiao family and his aunt.
Qiao Lin: Anyone who recognizes the fan will suspect that the Qiao family is as indifferent to family affection as the Ren family. Anyone who has seen Bei Qiao will question the purpose of Qin Huan's mother recognizing Bei Qiao's identity. And... it's really troublesome!
Bei Qiao: I always feel like this guy is cursing me in his heart.
Qiao Lin certainly wouldn't send anyone to keep an eye on Bei Qiao. The news of Bei Qiao being harassed by the two men had been reported back by the Qiao family's servants. For various reasons, Qiao Lin ultimately chose to lend Bei Qiao a horse for travel and sent someone to escort her out of the city: "You can return the horse to any of the Qiao family's escort agencies, or you can use the horse as a token of trust and stay overnight at one." Staying overnight was out of the question; simply keeping an eye on her was the limit. The Qiao family's gates weren't open to just anyone, not just anyone.
Bei Qiao: Sure enough, he was cursing me in his heart, and now his curses were even more foul.
Qiao Lin was overthinking it. Even if he invited Bei Qiao, she wouldn't necessarily agree to stay. Players' bodies couldn't react to external stimuli after logging off. Bei Qiao didn't trust the safety of other places besides official inns. Staying at the Qin family's house was already an exception.
Some people may think that Bei Qiao suffers from paranoia, but when you are out, the situation changes rapidly. No one can guarantee that the people who stay in wealthy families are mentally normal and do the right things.
Qiao Lin: "A-choo!"
While Bei Qiao and Qiao Lin were sipping tea and chatting in the teahouse, Ren Sirong, having searched for him for so long, had already impatiently returned home. Lying on Mu Jin's back, Ren Sirong headed straight for the zoo, intending to use her tiger as a dog and have it track Bei Qiao's whereabouts. If someone hadn't cleverly offered their own guard dog, Ren Sirong might have truly forgotten her second brother's advice to keep a low profile and taken the tiger out into the streets.
Ren Guanli who got the news: "..." Next time I'd better continue teaching her what to do. If I let her make trouble on her own, I'm afraid it will get out of hand.
On the other side, Ding Lang, who was put in a sack just after seeing Ren Sirong leaving, said: "Ren! Si! Rong!" Is this never going to end? He is even trying to make a feint to the east and attack in the west!
