Chapter 200
Ren Sirong: Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk! Do you think being someone's beloved is easy? When we act like a spoiled brat, we're not completely sure, but if we don't, we'll lose our only chance. Failure doesn't matter; the worst that can happen is a tantrum. For the sake of pampering and tangible benefits, we can be shameless in front of our family, then pick up the shameless skin before others notice, wash it, and use it again.
Ren Sirong was lucky again today. Although Ren Guanli was still in a bad mood, he didn't lose his temper with her. After closing his eyes and calming down for a while, he followed Ren Sirong back to his courtyard to eat. As for Ren Guanfeng, who fainted on the spot from anger, Ren Guanli called him a young doctor who had just finished his training, feeling that he had done his best.
"Brother?" Ren Sirong was walking when she found that the person behind her had disappeared.
"Go and accompany your sister-in-law first." Ren Guanli, who had already walked some distance, did not answer. He put his hands behind his back and continued walking towards the martial arts field.
After smashing three scarecrows used for attack practice in the martial arts arena and kicking over three plum blossom piles, Ren Guanli finally felt a little calmer. Sitting in the house waiting for someone, Ren Sirong pretended not to hear the noise from the martial arts arena and continued to chat and laugh with her sister-in-law. When she was really hungry, she would eat a little snack to fill her stomach.
"Brother, you are so slow! Come and sit down, I am starving." Ren Sirong pretended to wipe the snack crumbs from the corner of her mouth.
Ren Guanli, whose mood had improved, glanced at her and signaled the servants to move a few plates of snacks in front of Ren Sirong. Seeing this, everyone quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother, my night attack on the inn failed." While eating breakfast, Ren Sirong suddenly remembered something.
What you did is called a night raid on the store. No one was smashed or beaten. It was just a visit at most... Ren Guanli stopped eating with his chopsticks and gave Ren Sirong a displeased look: "Then wait until the person leaves the city before you take action... Leave someone with you, so that no one can take advantage of the situation and take them away." Even though he knew that this girl was probably pretending, he still couldn't help but keep a closer eye on her.
"Oh!" Ren Sirong nodded vigorously and patted her sister-in-law who pretended not to hear anything: "Sister-in-law, I want to drink that too!"
While the Ren family was happily dining, Bei Qiao had just finished breakfast and was online at the official business meeting. She had gotten up early to avoid the Ren family's servants, and after moving her position, she logged off immediately, just in time to have breakfast with her parents.
After logging back online, Bei Qiao sat in the basement, scrolling through messages for a while, wondering whether to leave Chuzhou City and continue south. Although he wasn't sure if the Ren family servants were looking for him, if his hunch was correct, perhaps leaving early would be the best option.
If you feel aggrieved like some protagonists and linger and refuse to leave, you might really get into trouble. Although you are confident in your skills, the other party is a person who does not abide by martial ethics. What if you face a round-robin battle then... Bei Qiao clicked on the Chamber of Commerce task interface and quickly went through the tasks: If you can't find a suitable task, then... Oh, I'm lucky.
After flipping through two pages, Bei Qiao discovered a quest that could be completed while leaving the city. The quest involved serving as bait, with numerous variables and an uncertain risk factor. The rewards were cash and items.
The quest sounded impressive, but it was actually just a heads-up for everyone. The poster had posted it to avenge a friend who had nearly had her account shut down by the natives the previous night. Seriously injured, her friend had no choice but to post a quest through the system to have a player in her city rescue her. After the rescue, she didn't dare stay online for too long, fearing that overexertion would worsen her injuries and lead to her account being shut down.
Upon learning that something had happened to his beloved girlfriend while he was away, Sun Cheng was furious. When he posted the task, the system judged that the content was not in compliance with the regulations because he repeatedly greeted the murderer's family and ancestors, and it could only be sent after modification.
Holding back his temper and deleting the curse words, Sun Cheng sat angrily in the room of an inn in another city, poking the air in front of him again and again, so angry that he almost made a sound of breaking the air. It was not easy for him to successfully publish the task.
The native who harmed the player is a distant relative of the Qiao family, named Ding Lang. He has recently been staying at the Qiao family because he is a widow. The locals all know that this person has a grudge against the Qiao family, so he often appears in the conversations of the natives on the streets.
"No, you have a problem with the Qiao family?" In the basement, a player who had just arrived in Chuzhou City rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen it wrong: "You are staying in someone's house, but you still have a problem with them? And you let everyone know about it." Is there something seriously wrong with this person's brain?
"Ah, everyone really knows about her. If you stay here for a few days, you'll hear people talking about her. She's a famous local ungrateful person." The player next to her lowered his voice and gestured for her to check the group chat, which contained more detailed information.
The player followed his instructions, opening the quest group chat and scrolling through everyone's posts. Ding Lang was the daughter of a daughter of a branch of the Qiao family who married out. She was pretty, her parents orphaned, and had been introduced to her late husband, Xu Xian, by a relative, and then married in another city. A few months ago, she and Xu Xian were returning to Chuzhou City to visit their relatives when they encountered bandits on the way.
During her escape, all her servants died, and Xu Xian was also killed by bandits. She was the only one left, but before she could be captured, she ran into a passing escort team of the Qiao family and escaped with her life. Because of this incident, the Xu family expelled Ding Lang, and Ding Lang hated the Qiao family...
"I still find it weird after reading it again..." The player looked at other people's comments: According to the information obtained indirectly by others, Ding Lang hated the Qiao family because the incident happened on her way to visit her parents. If she had not visited her parents, or if the Qiao family had come earlier, these things would never have happened.
Player A: No, she is sick. Did anyone force her to come back?
Player B: Blame it on me! Everyone knows she came here because she heard the Qiao family's patriarch's birthday was coming up and wanted to make connections. She complains about others being late to save her, but doesn't complain about the Xu family. What an ungrateful person!
Player C: Is the Qiao family...soft?
Player D: Not soft, they may have their own rhythm.
Player C: Just a side question, she holds a grudge against the Qiao family, why would she want to harm our fellow villagers?
The original poster, Sun Cheng: When she was plotting against the Qiao family, she didn’t choose a good place to watch the show. After she was discovered, she was saved by my best friend while trying to escape.
Player C: ...Who saves whom?
OP Sun Cheng: You read that right! Just because this ungrateful bastard wanted to hire my girlfriend to harm the Qiao family and was rejected, she hired thugs to teach my girlfriend a lesson. She doesn't even think about saving her life! What a jerk!
Players A, B, C, and D: He is indeed sick, and it’s a serious illness!
Sun Cheng's best friend Cu Xin was attacked by thugs, and then she was issued a rescue mission and an identity retention mission. Both missions were completed before curfew last night.
The rescue mission went relatively smoothly, with a night owl player promptly accepting the task and taking Cu Xin, who had been injured and left behind, away for treatment. If no one took up the task, Cu Xin would likely have been taken away by other villains, or perhaps the night wind would have aggravated her injuries and given her a high fever. By then, even if she managed to survive, the cost of her recovery alone would have been enough to push the player back into poverty. If one was unlucky enough to encounter a worsening of the wound, they might even die on the spot and be forced to close their account. At that point, the player would have no choice but to say goodbye to their current relationships, create a new account, and live in another world with a new face for at least a year.
Fortunately, Cu Xin was lucky; the thugs didn't kill her or imprison her. The place where she was beaten was difficult to find, so players searched almost every remote alleyway before finding her and sending her to a player with medical skills for treatment. As for the identity preservation quest, the players found the landlady and completed it. They told her that Cu Xin had been severely injured by Ding Lang's men and needed some time to recover before returning. They were afraid to stay there for the time being and didn't need to refund the rent.
"How can I not return it?" Upon hearing that it was Ding Lang who caused the trouble, the landlady suddenly felt that she had figured out the whole cause and effect: "Young girl, you are from a family, you are away from home alone, you should spend money and save money! Grandma's house is not difficult to rent, you should give the rent back to the young girl so that she won't be reluctant to spend money on medicine. Even if you are young, you can't take yourself too seriously. Recovering from your injuries will cost a lot of money!"
"Okay, okay, grandma, I'll get it back for her. Don't be so anxious. We'll take it! Isn't it okay for us to take it?" The player who came to do the task was almost pushed to the ground by the grandma: She is worthy of being a native of Chuzhou City, she has great strength!
"Be careful on your way back, don't mess with that crazy woman again. Everyone knows she's crazy. Alas..." The landlady shook her head regretfully: "Poor little girl, why didn't the Qiao family drive this person away? She's such an eyesore in the house!"
"Brother, why don't you just kick the eldest brother out of the house?" At the dinner table, Ren Sirong was also asking Ren Guanli a similar question. When faced with such a situation, members of other families would directly sever ties and drive the person away. However, the second brother was as indecisive as the Qiao family was towards Ding Lang. This was not like his style!
Ren Guanli signaled everyone else to leave and confiscated the snacks in front of Ren Sirong as punishment for her mouth. Then he slowly put down his chopsticks and said, "If we drive him away, who else can be the weakness of our family?" A group without weaknesses is not sociable in the Ren family and can easily be attacked by others.
"So I'm not our family's weakness..." Ren Sirong said happily, embarrassed: "I'm so embarrassed, please praise me a few more times!"
"Praise a few more times"
"No, no, no, I mean, the reason why the Qiao family didn't drive Ding Lang away is to keep him as a weakness." Ren Sirong sat upright on the spot, restrained her expression, and pretended that what she said just now was not her own: It was a close call, I almost pissed off the wallet.
