Chapter 344 The Burly Man
The following days were peaceful and comfortable.
Even the return visit went smoothly.
The next day after the return visit, Father Meng and Tong Xiangqin returned to Shanghai.
I don’t know how Father Meng handled this matter. Anyway, no one in the Mu family took the initiative to mention this topic.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Every morning, Mu Jingwen would drive his parents and daughter-in-law to Yunmen Square on time, and then he would go to the office.
After work, he would go to Yunmen first and then take them home.
Yan Baocheng took a break again, so the task of picking up and dropping off the three children fell on Xiao Liu and the nanny.
Early in the morning of this day, the whole family went out to work as usual.
As soon as the car left, a head popped out from the entrance of the alley.
Then, the man left quickly again.
Two days later, Xiao Liu was running along the moat when he suddenly heard a "splash".
Then a few elderly people who were walking around started shouting,
"Someone fell into the water!"
"Oh, what should I do? I can't swim!"
"Quick, there's a long pole over there, bring it over and try it."
Seeing this, Xiao Liu took off his shoes and jumped in without any consideration.
Although it was not winter and the river water was not too cold, it was still unpleasant to fall into the water.
Soon, he rescued the person who fell into the water.
This was a middle-aged woman who looked a little haggard and a little wolfish.
Fortunately, Xiao Liu rescued her in time. The middle-aged woman was not seriously injured except that her whole body was soaked.
"Auntie, feel it, are you feeling well? Or I can take you to the hospital." Xiao Liu asked with concern. "
No, no, I'm not in the way, I just feel very cold and want to drink some hot water." The middle-aged woman shivered, her teeth chattering.
"Oh, look at what's going on. My home is quite far from here. When I bring the water over, it's already cold."
"That's right, my home is not close either. What can I do? There's no hot water nearby."
Xiao Liu looked around, as if the nearest residential area was his courtyard.
The nature of the soldier is to think about the people. "Auntie, come with me."
"Yeah, okay." The middle-aged woman was very grateful and walked behind Xiao Liu, dragging her wet clothes.
After a few steps, they arrived at the gate of the courtyard.
But Xiao Liu was still cautious and did not let her in. "Auntie, please wait here for me, I will be out soon."
After saying that, Xiao Liu pushed the door and walked in.
Because he had to go out again, he did not close the door tightly.
The middle-aged woman looked inside through the crack of the door. Except for a huge screen wall, she did not see anything else.
Because she was unwilling to give up, she became bolder and pushed the door and walked in.
After passing the screen wall, the view suddenly opened up.
The courtyard was already very large as soon as she entered, but she also saw the hanging flower gate.
The middle-aged woman believed that after passing the hanging flower gate, the inside must be even bigger.
When she was groping to pass the hanging flower gate, Xiao Liu came out from inside with a cup of hot water.
"Auntie, how did you get in?" Xiao Liu looked unhappy, and he was very unhappy about this uninvited behavior.
This is not his home, and he has no right to let others in.
"I, I'm very cold, thinking that with such a big yard, you can walk less." The middle-aged woman looked at Xiao Liu's face and answered timidly.
"Drink the water quickly, you won't be cold after drinking it." Xiao Liu didn't continue to pester her, just wanting her to drink the hot water and leave quickly.
The middle-aged woman was also very tactful. She
picked up the water and drank it all in a few gulps.
"Thank you, young man, I'm much better, I'll leave in the next few days." After drinking the water, she left, looking back every few steps.
It was already summer, and the temperature was quite warm, so the clothes on his body should be dried in no time.
Xiao Liu stopped worrying about the middle-aged woman.
He closed the door and returned to his room. He had to take a shower and change clothes quickly.
He didn't take the middle-aged woman's behavior to heart, and at most he just thought she was impolite.
But he didn't expect that the next afternoon, Xiao Liu and the nanny had just brought the three children back, and they were blocked by three burly men at the door.
"It was you who caused my wife to fall into the water and she fell ill when she returned home," Kuijia looked at Xiao Liu fiercely.
At this time, Xiao Liu also reacted that it was possible that the old lady who fell into the water yesterday fell ill after returning home, and she came to settle the score with him.
"Mrs. Liu, take the children home first, I'll take care of this." Little Liu was going to send Mrs. Liu and the children home first, and then he would solve the problem at hand.
"No matter who you say, don't even think about leaving. You must give us an explanation today!" Kui Yi pulled out his machete and held it across his chest. How could he let them leave?
They were the best hostages.
Mrs. Liu had never seen such a situation before, and her legs were already weak with fear, but she still tried to keep the children behind her.
Looking at this situation, Little Liu also understood that these people must have come here to cause trouble on purpose.
But as a soldier, he had strict discipline, and he could not take the initiative to fight.
"How do you want to explain?" Xiao Liu gave Mrs. Liu a reassuring look and began to negotiate with several burly men.
"Stop talking nonsense and pay! Don't even think about leaving without 80,000 yuan." Kui Jia took the opportunity to blackmail.
They had agreed before coming that he wanted 50,000 yuan, but if he could extort 80,000 yuan, he wouldn't have to worry about his life.
Nowadays, there are only a few millionaires in the country. If he could get so much money, he wouldn't share it with anyone. It would be enough for him to live a comfortable life.
"Why don't you go and rob!" Although Mrs. Liu was afraid, the figure of 80,000 yuan really shocked her, and she blurted it out subconsciously.
Kuijia looked at Mrs. Liu sarcastically, "You're right, I'm robbing now! Brothers, rush in and smash it for me, I don't believe such a big house can't be worth 80,000 yuan."
"You dare!" Xiao Liu suddenly opened his aura and was about to stop them.
"Squeak!"
The door of the courtyard opened from the inside.
The burly men were first startled by the sudden opening of the door.
Then they saw that it was an old man standing at the door, so they relaxed their vigilance, which saved them from opening the door.
"I think you are so brave that you robbed my house." Yan Baocheng was not afraid of the three burly men.
He fought on the battlefield when he was young, and now he has been the head of the army for many years. He didn't take these people seriously at all.
"Old man, I advise you to be tactful. Don't refuse a toast and then drink a penalty!" Kui Jia's face was full of disdain.
They had planned ahead of time. At this time, the old and young in the family were in trouble, so they were not afraid at all.
...
"Something happened at home, come quickly." Yan Yunxi, who was on her way home from work, urged Mu Jingxuan.
She was a little uneasy to begin with. When she was about to get home, she dispersed her mental power and found that her door had been surrounded.
