Chapter 202
"Damn it! He's mine!" Ren Sirong, who arrived a step late, lifted the carriage curtain and was about to jump to the ground, but was stopped by Mu Jin. Patiently holding Mu Jin's hand, she stepped out of the carriage. She straightened her back and hurried into the alley with an elegant demeanor. Glancing around to see if anyone was around, she quickly grabbed Mu Jin's arm and jumped onto her back, "Hurry and chase him!"
The servant of the Qiao family who was following Ding Lang not far behind said: How come the playboy of the Ren family is here too?
There really wasn't much hiding space in the alleys around here, but Sun Cheng knew some locals there, and they could use their yards to hide. Bei Qiao, who had entered the alley, climbed over the wall. Sun Cheng, who had been guarding the wall, immediately climbed to the top, holding onto the wall with one hand and a sack in the other, a long stick at his waist, his expression serious, ready to strike.
The other players wandered around the alley entrance, observing if there were any suspicious individuals lingering nearby besides the mission target. If Ding Lang escaped, they would follow him, wait for him to stop, and report his location to Sun Cheng, asking her to reconsider her revenge plan.
"We're just going to put on the sack?"
"What else? We can vent our anger, but the victim will report us to the police and accuse us of hiring a hit man! If our gang-banging incident is discovered, even if we're right, we'll be wrong."
"Alas, I always feel like my thoughts are not making sense... I'll just write her off as cannon fodder when I get back!"
"What's the title of the book? Please share!"
"I just said it and thought about it in my heart. I was too lazy to write it." Just kidding, the last time my writer's vest was exposed, my colleagues directly confronted me and urged me to update. How could I make the same mistake a second time!
As the players were talking, Ding Lang had already walked into the alley. Before the other players could celebrate their initial success, they saw Ren Sirong, the playboy of the Ren family, also walk in, followed by several servants of the Qiao family.
What happened? Why did so many people follow him in... The players looked at each other and chased after him at the same time: Although they didn't know what happened, they still went to take a look. In case they happened to run into Sun Cheng putting on the sack, they could at least lend a hand and help Sun Cheng escape.
Sun Cheng, unaware of the others' arrival, was clinging to the wall, awaiting Ding Lang's arrival. Seeing the figure she hated so much glance around as he passed beneath the wall, she gritted her teeth, grabbed the sack, and leaped down. Then, inexplicably, she accidentally caught two people with the sack, and upon landing, she came face to face with another group of people.
Sun Cheng: "..." What's going on? The plan went wrong.
"Sure enough, there's an ambush..." Ding Lang struggled to lift the sack. Seeing that the other unlucky person trapped in the same sack with him was Ren Sirong, he squinted his eyes and sneered, "Who was it? It turned out to be Hua Xinrong!"
"It turns out you were the one who plotted against me! You robbed my people and even wanted to tie me up. You're so bold!" Ren Sirong thought that the sack was Ding Lang's doing, so she threw the sack aside on the spot and started yelling at Ding Lang while pulling his collar.
Sun Cheng picked up the sack from the ground, took two steps back and stood aside, leaning against the wall in a daze: Although I was the mastermind behind the sack incident, it seems now... I have nothing to do with it.
Ding Lang and Ren Sirong, two people who had a grudge against each other, began to confront each other. Qiao's family servant and Sun Cheng stood on each side and watched the two quarreling fiercely.
Although the sack was in Sun Cheng's hands, Ding Lang and Ren Sirong both believed that the man who had always opposed them was the mastermind. Ding Lang enjoyed playing the game of redemption and choosing a son-in-law, while Ren Sirong loved beautiful women and kidnapping people. Their interests were similar, and they often had conflicts.
Every time the target crashed, both of them would be injured, and the target would take the opportunity to escape. Once or twice, it was fine, and they could just bear with it. But after the same thing happened eight or ten times, even the most tolerant people would think the other party was deliberately picking a fight. Thus, the feud between the two was born.
Just when the two men were arguing and starting to push each other and were about to fight, a strange woman suddenly climbed onto the wall from the other side of the yard and called for help in a hoarse voice: "Sir, help! I..." Seeing the familiar faces in front of her, the rest of the woman's words were instantly choked in her throat and she couldn't spit them out.
"Wow!" The player standing at the entrance of the alley couldn't help but take two steps forward: "Isn't this Uncle Fake Xian'er!"
Uncle Fake Xian'er... The two people who were arguing looked up at the wall beside them: He
The fake uncle, who was waiting inside for the incident to end, quickly pulled out a ladder and headed straight for the wall. He even enthusiastically invited Bei Qiao to join him in watching the excitement. Bei Qiao waved his hand in thanks, then leaned against the wall and listened quietly: "Just listen, there's no need to show your face. The noise from the quarrel next door sounds a bit familiar, and it feels risky to show up."
Bei Qiao had also heard of the name of the fake Uncle Xian'er. Just last year, this uncle used his daughter's name to seduce young men, writing love letters to them and defrauding them of their money. To get more money, he even sent the young man a portrait of his daughter. Because of his daughter's striking appearance, the young man fell in love with her immediately and even scrimped on his expenses to give the girl more money.
As the young man's money piled up, his family grew suspicious. After repeated attempts to persuade him proved futile, they reported the matter to the authorities. Initially believing their son had been scammed, they unexpectedly traced the case back to an unnamed man. Upon seeing the man in person, the young man was horrified and demanded his money back and that the man be jailed.
The uncle didn't want to pay back the money, nor did he want to go to jail, so he told the young man that the woman in the portrait was his daughter. He claimed that he was moved by the young man's steadfast love and was willing to marry his daughter to him.
After meeting the girl, the young man expressed his willingness, but the girl thought the whole thing was ridiculous and firmly refused to accept his inexplicable love. This fake relationship was not hers, and the love letter was not hers, but now she was asked to marry him, which was ridiculous.
The girl's mother even more disagreed with the marriage. She called the constable in front of the neighbors and threw back the betrothal gifts that the young man had brought to her door in front of the officers and soldiers and everyone else.
Seeing his daughter-in-law flying away, the young man once again shouted that he would report the matter to the police. The uncle begged the young man for a few days' grace, and then he and the young man made a plan to knock his daughter unconscious and send her to the young man's home, so that the matter would be settled.
The girl's mother, who had returned home early, heard the conversation between the two and waited outside the window, suppressing her anger. When the young man left to prepare the carriage, she reached in through the window, picked up the box on the table and knocked her husband unconscious.
After waking her unconscious daughter, the girl's mother prepared to take her daughter back to her parents' home, completing the divorce procedures along the way. Before leaving, she saw her husband lying on the ground, and her anger intensified. She applied makeup to his face to resemble her daughter's. She also wrapped a mercury band around his navel, tying the other end to a table leg with a string. The uncle's facial features were already 30% similar to her daughter's, and the makeup made them 70% similar. Then, after blowing out the candles and the dim night, the 70% resemblance instantly became 90%.
"You want to kidnap my daughter, right? Then go get married yourself!" After dressing her husband in women's clothes, the girl's mother asked her to take some valuables and hide in a secret room to wait for her. She rubbed her face hard, sprinkled some water on her face to pretend to be crying, and ran out of the main door with her hands covering her face and cursing, pretending to ask for help, and ran to knock on the neighbor's door.
Seeing the girl's mother leave through the front door, the young man, fearing something might have happened, climbed back over the wall and carried the man, who had been dressed as his daughter, away, not noticing the mercury belt that had been torn off. Although he thought the bride's body was a bit too heavy, the girl was a voluptuous beauty, and with her mother immediately emerging from a neighbor's house, the young man had no time to think before hastily stuffing her into the carriage and driving away.
The girl's mother deliberately walked slower, and only when the carriage was about to leave the end of the alley did she hurried out of the neighbor's house, pretending to look at the strange carriage with confusion.
Afterward, she pretended to bring her neighbors along to confront her husband, but he was nowhere to be found at home. Instead, she found her daughter, clutching her swollen cheek and weeping silently. Following the advice of her neighbors, she angrily ran to the government office and filed a divorce application. Upon learning the full story, the prefect quickly agreed to the mother's request and arranged for notices to be posted, informing everyone that the man who had attempted to sell her daughter was currently at large and advising his acquaintances not to assist him.
After the story got out, everyone started calling the uncle "Fake Immortal Uncle" because he was using someone else's identity to trick people into giving him money. As for the young man, he claimed that his family didn't want to be disturbed by the officials, but that the money was owed by the uncle and he wouldn't ask for it from the uncle's ex-wife and daughter. Therefore, his reputation was relatively good. Only the uncle's ex-wife couldn't help but give him a strange look after hearing what he said.
Before today, no one except the uncle's ex-wife and daughter knew that the uncle had been taken away by that young man, and no one understood why his ex-wife had such a look in her eyes. It wasn't until just now, when everyone saw the fake uncle climbing the wall and shouting for help, and saw the young man chasing him, that they vaguely understood the secret: Could it be... Holy shit!
"My dear, what are you talking about? You can make a fuss, but don't joke with me..." The young man climbed up the wall with a ladder and grabbed the fake uncle's collar: "You said before that you wanted to go to the shelter village to have a look. I thought about it carefully and think it's a good idea. What do you think?"
"Don't come over here, don't come over here... Sir! Sir! I want to surrender myself! Arrest me quickly!" The fake uncle Xian'er was frightened by the young man's words and turned pale. The remaining rouge on his face could not hide his paleness.
Seeing a patrol of constables passing by the alley entrance not far away, the uncle struggled to climb down the wall, rushed over and hugged the constable's thigh and refused to let go: "Who is your wife! I would rather go to jail than... Help me, sir!"
