Chapter 627 Is his mother a little narcissistic?
Sun Meilan had a headache, "Xu Pinggui didn't follow because he had already arranged for someone to do so.
Think about it, you are here, Xu Pinggui is here, would your scumbag father not send someone to keep an eye on them?
As soon as he left, Xu Pinggui followed suit. Anyone would suspect something was amiss."
Damn it, her son is still so stubborn and can’t think flexibly. It’s a headache.
"So, I have to argue with him from time to time to confuse the people who are monitoring us outside?" Zhang Tiancheng looked at Xu Pinggui.
Seeing Xu Pinggui's disgusted look, Zhang Tiancheng suspected that he might break his neck at any time.
Xu Pinggui bared his teeth, "Who wants to argue with you?
I've got a better idea, would you like to know?"
"No." Zhang Tiancheng immediately shook his head in horror:
"I can tell from your expression that something bad is wrong. I'm injured now, so please let me go."
He had been cheated by them so many times that it had become a conditioned reflex.
"No, you said you wanted to." Xu Pinggui smiled and raised his eyebrows:
"Come, stand in horse stance over there, and I'll let you scold me when you're too tired."
Zhang Tiancheng grabbed Sun Meilan's arm in grievance, "Mom, he wants to abuse me again, knowing that I am injured..."
Sun Meilan's eyes fell on him, her face full of heartache:
"Yeah, it's okay, let's just stand there for a while."
Zhang Tiancheng, “…”
She is indeed my mother, so cruel. The pain on her face is fake.
But he still stood there obediently, he really was not loved.
"Be good and have some candy." Sun Meilan stuffed a candy into Zhang Tiancheng's mouth, then frowned and looked at Xu Pinggui:
"What if Zhang Liming hadn't let these people go out out of pity? What would you have done if you couldn't find where they were being held?"
If they don't release the person, they will have another bargaining chip to threaten us.
Xu Pinggui shrugged. "Then there's nothing I can do. I can only watch these people die."
They are not saviors. Even if they tried their best but failed to save the world, it is not their fault. If anyone is to blame, they can only blame Zhang Liming and his people for being inhuman and cruel.
"Zhang Liming and the others are truly despicable." Sun Meilan said with disgust:
“If their master were allowed to take the throne, it would definitely be a disaster for the people, not a blessing.
Xu Pinggui, while there is still time, please think of a solution. We cannot stand by and watch so many people lose their lives because of these people's greed."
Xu Pinggui shook his head, "Now the entire Mocheng is basically their people. There are very few people I can use, and I don't even dare to ask for information.
I’m afraid that the news will be alarmed before I even find out.
Now it depends on whether Zhang Liming is greedy enough.
If he is greedy, he will definitely release the shop owners to cook his favorite food in order to please Zhang Tiancheng."
"So, I am just a link in your game." Zhang Tiancheng, who was doing horse stance at the side, interjected:
"I suddenly feel that you guys are very disrespectful to me. You didn't even ask me if I'm willing to participate in your game."
Xu Pinggui glanced at Zhang Tiancheng, who was standing still in his horse stance. "It looks like you're feeling quite relaxed. Do you need a stool?"
Only when you are not tired can you have the mood to joke.
Zhang Tiancheng was startled and made a gesture to shut up, "Haha, no need!"
Sun Meilan looked at her son with amusement. When he saw Xu Pinggui, he was as scared as a mouse seeing a cat.
It seems that this son has been polished by him a lot in Yuancheng.
Xu Pinggui looked at Sun Meilan and said, "Boss Sun, my young mistress often said, let go of the desire to help others and respect the fate of others.
If we can't find where they are being held, then we can only say that this is their fate.
They deserved it and can't blame anyone else. After all, we have done our best."
Sun Meilan was silent for a long time, then chuckled, "Your young mistress is really insightful, she is right.
We shouldn’t shoulder the fate of others, we just need to take care of our own.”
…
And on Zhang Liming's side.
At this moment he was walking up and down in the study.
Sun Meilan's father was once the lord of Mocheng. Although they died in an accident, the Sun family has been entrenched in Mocheng for several generations and must have accumulated tremendous wealth.
Otherwise, Sun Meilan wouldn't have given you so many good things when they got married.
Moreover, after getting married, he was able to get to where he is today because Sun Meilan continued to give him money to help him.
Over the past twenty years, he has been constantly testing Sun Meilan, but unfortunately, she is very tight-lipped and would never reveal the location of the Sun family's wealth.
There were even several times when I deliberately created a crisis, and she just took out the money without telling me, and refused to reveal anything.
In the past, he always thought that only Sun Meilan knew about this hidden secret, and ignored Zhang Tiancheng.
Unexpectedly, she had already told Zhang Tiancheng.
He remembered what Zhang Tiancheng had said just now. It seemed that this wealth should be huge, so huge that Zhang Tiancheng didn't care about this little thing of the Zhang family at all.
No one would complain about having too much money.
Therefore, he must get this wealth.
Thinking of this, Zhang Liming immediately stood up and walked outside.
If you want Zhang Tiancheng, this silly son, to listen to you, you have to cater to his preferences.
But he didn't dare to make the decision on his own.
So, he approached Han Shuo.
Han Shuo heard this and said, "Are you sure you weren't fooled by your stupid son?
City Lord Sun left behind a batch of treasures, why didn't I know about it?"
I have followed him for several years, how could I not have heard any rumors?
Zhang Tiancheng shook his head, "You know, I just started a small business back then. It was Sun Meilan who gave me a large sum of money, which helped me achieve the scale I have today.
How do you think Sun Meilan would have so much money to start a business for me if the Sun family had nothing left behind?
At this point, Zhang Tiancheng sneered, "Why do you think I tolerated her for so long?
It was for this wealth, but unfortunately this dead woman refused to tell me where the Sun family's treasure was hidden for more than 20 years.
Now my son knows it’s easier to pry open his mouth than Sun Meilan’s.”
Han Shuo was silent for a while, then looked up:
"I want half."
It's a good deal to release a few people in exchange for half of this unknown wealth.
Zhang Liming's eyes widened, his chest heaving with anger. Han Shuo's appetite was too big. He only released a few people, but he asked for half of them. This was clearly robbery.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Liming gritted his teeth and said, "One fifth."
He knew that if he didn't bleed, Han Shuo wouldn't help him.
"One quarter."
"make a deal!"
Han Shuo smiled like an old fox.
Zhang Liming knew he had been tricked when he saw his expression, and he said angrily, "City Lord Han, lead the way."
If he didn't show up, he wouldn't be able to catch the person, so he just had to bear with the money.
"Okay, let's go!" Han Shuo walked out first.
…
That evening.
Zhang Tiancheng finally ate the delicacy he had always dreamed of, which made him burst into tears. It was so difficult.
Zhang Liming raised his eyebrows when he saw Zhang Tiancheng's excitement:
"Son, how are you?
How does it taste? Is it the same as before?
Zhang Tiancheng picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth, "Yeah, yes, that's the taste.
Dad, you are such a good dad. You actually found it for me.
Woohoo, Dad, I love you so much."
He reached out and gave his father a wolf hug, then rubbed his back with his hands.
"Dad, you are so good to me. You buy me all the flavors I like.
Dad, you really love me, I am so touched."
…
Zhang Liming resisted the urge to push him away and nodded, "Of course, you are my son. Who else can I love if not you?"
"Um!"
Zhang Tiancheng nodded, let him go, sat down and started eating slowly.
Zhang Liming sat down beside him and asked tentatively:
"Son, it's delicious, eat more."
"good."
"Son, let me ask you something. Did I leave you anything?"
"Yes, a lot." Zhang Tiancheng said indifferently:
"Dad, what do you want to ask?"
A dark light flashed in Zhang Tiancheng's eyes. He was so greedy. He asked so impatiently and refused to wait for a whole night.
Zhang Liming's heart couldn't help but beat wildly. He swallowed nervously, "Did your mother tell you where she hid the treasure for you?"
"Yes." Zhang Tiancheng nodded.
Seeing Zhang Liming's excitement, Zhang Tiancheng shook his head:
"But my mother made me swear not to tell anyone."
"Not even Daddy?"
"No!" Zhang Tiancheng shook his head and looked at Zhang Liming apologetically:
"Dad, I promised Mom this, and I swore to do it. If I tell anyone, God will punish me."
"I really can't even tell you, Dad?" Zhang Liming was unwilling to give in.
"That's all a lie. My son is fine, seriously."
Zhang Tiancheng hesitated to look at Sun Meilan lying on the bed, then looked at him, and finally shook his head:
"no!
Mother said that this was the escape route she prepared for me, and I couldn’t say I couldn’t touch it unless it was absolutely necessary.”
Zhang Liming was anxious, but he also knew that haste makes waste.
If you appear too hasty, it will be unpleasant.
Zhang Liming took a deep breath and was trying to find a way to persuade Zhang Tiancheng, but unexpectedly, at this moment, the housekeeper hurried in.
“Master and Master, people from Yuancheng are here.
The two men from the night before have arrived with a man claiming to be Doctor Mu, and are now outside the gate."
"Doctor Mu is here!" Zhang Tiancheng jumped up excitedly, and then let out a painful wail:
“Ahhh, it hurts!”
"Dad!" Zhang Tiancheng looked at Zhang Liming pitifully, "Dad, can you please bring Doctor Mu in to treat my mother?
I just pulled my back, it hurts!"
Zhang Liming nodded with a serious face, "Okay!"
What an unfortunate timing.
Zhang Liming walked outside with the housekeeper with an irritated look on his face. What he was more worried about now was whether Doctor Mu who came here would be able to see the problem with Sun Meilan!
After all, the other party was once an imperial physician, so he couldn't help but worry.
As soon as he left, the pain on Zhang Tiancheng's face disappeared immediately, and he looked towards the bed excitedly:
"Mom, someone from the Xu family is here.
I just don’t know if Mrs. Xu has come.
But her belly is so big, she probably won't take the risk of coming here."
Sun Meilan slowly sat up, her lips curled slightly, "There's something exciting to watch, and she must come for me."
Zhang Tiancheng, “…”
