After saying that, he made a move to turn around and leave.
Upon seeing this, He Cheng's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
Having stayed here for so many days, he had thoroughly figured out the warden's temperament; he was a complete money-grubber!
Even so, he still felt very resentful and secretly decided that when he had the chance to get out, he would definitely teach this jailer a lesson.
On the surface, however, he still maintained a fawning and ingratiating demeanor, speaking in a humble and obsequious manner: "Brother, you know I've been locked up here all this time. Even if I wanted to get money, I wouldn't have the chance."
"So why don't you be lenient and let me out first? Don't worry, once I'm out and have the money, I'll definitely come back on my own!"
Fearing that Xu Datong would remain unmoved, he even gritted his teeth and added, "I can also give you a hundred taels of silver as a reward afterward!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Datong, who was about to leave, immediately stopped in his tracks, looking quite hesitant.
But still somewhat uncertain, he asked, "Can you really come up with that much money?"
He Cheng nodded without hesitation, "Really!"
Anyway, whether it's true or not, we'll wait until we get out before we talk about it.
His performance finally moved Xu Datong, who changed his impatient expression and took out his key to open He Cheng's cell door.
"Then it's a deal, I'm rooting for you!"
He wasn't afraid that He Chengzhen would just run away, after all, He Wangshi was still locked up in another cell. No matter how heartless He Chengzhen was, he couldn't just abandon his mother like that.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Xu Datong used his position to escort He Cheng out and personally watched him walk away.
However, just as He Cheng's figure disappeared from his sight, Jian Yi suddenly jumped down from above.
"Well done."
If He Cheng were still here, he would probably have noticed something was amiss very quickly.
Jian Yi's tone of voice when communicating with Xu Datong was too practiced, and Xu Datong showed no surprise at Jian Yi's appearance.
He just chuckled, then spat viciously in the direction He Cheng had left. "That kid is definitely plotting against me. Does he think I don't know? Bah!"
Jian Yi neither confirmed nor denied this, but reminded him again: "Remember not to give anything away. After the matter is done, my master will definitely offer a generous reward."
Xu Datong waved his hand, unlike before when his eyes would light up at the mere mention of money.
Instead, he rubbed his hands together and said tentatively, "Money is something you can earn anytime. Compared to that, I'm more interested in becoming the chief constable right now, so what do you think..."
Jian Yi glanced at him coldly, not agreeing directly, but only saying, "After you get things done, my master will not treat you unfairly."
Xu Datong then smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Meanwhile, He Cheng, who had successfully escaped from the dungeon, went straight to Ni Dagui's house without going anywhere else.
It was Ni Dagui who asked them to deal with Su An back then, and he even gave them a lot of bad ideas. But now his mother has been arrested, while Ni Dagui is completely unharmed. He has to find out the truth!
At this time, Ni Dagui was completely unaware of this.
He spent a lot of money to finally hire a skilled person who could release the pressure points on his body that were causing him to laugh, thus relieving his sore throat.
But since he had been laughing for several hours, his throat inevitably became inflamed and swollen, making it difficult for him to even speak. Therefore, he lay down to rest early.
When He Cheng arrived at his house, he saw Ni Dagui lying peacefully on the bed, with candles burning extravagantly beside him all night.
His eyes instantly welled up with tears.
His mother is already in jail and will be dragged out and beheaded in a few days. So why is Ni Dagui, the mastermind behind it all, living so comfortably?
And yet he was still able to sleep soundly, showing no remorse whatsoever towards their family. This immediately sparked an extremely bold idea in He Cheng's mind.
His biggest problem right now is money, but Ni Dagui has been in business for many years and has never lacked money.
If only we could make him die suddenly...
He Cheng unbuckled his belt, abandoning his intention to question Ni Dagui. Instead, he quietly crept to the head of the bed and suddenly grabbed Ni Dagui by the neck.
"Well!"
Ni Dagui's throat was already injured, and the tightness caused him excruciating pain, instantly waking him up.
Before he could react, the increasingly fierce pressure on his neck and the increasingly thin air instantly contorted his expression.
"you……"
Because the candlelight was still burning, he finally saw He Cheng's face clearly, and his eyes were filled with terror in an instant.
How did this person end up here? Wasn't he supposed to be in jail?!
Unfortunately, the next second, he fell silent completely, and never received an answer again.
Seeing that he was no longer moving, He Cheng, who had been tense all along, suddenly relaxed his grip and started panting heavily.
"I actually killed someone..."
He looked down at his hands and felt a wave of dizziness, his heart pounding uncontrollably.
But besides fear, he felt mostly relieved and inexplicably excited. His pupils trembled as he murmured repeatedly, "He deserved it. He's a heinous criminal who deserves to die. I did nothing wrong. I did nothing wrong!"
He stumbled back several steps, accidentally bumping into the table behind him. He quickly snapped out of his daze and began frantically searching the room.
Then, taking all his valuables, he jumped out of the window and escaped.
...
"Letting Ni Dagui go like this would be too easy on him. I need to think of a way to get revenge!"
In the backyard of the clinic, Su An brought over dinner and began to ponder this matter.
Just as Li Guihua had worried yesterday, she and Ni Dagui had become sworn enemies, and Ni Dagui would never let her go in the future, so she planned to strike first.
However, we need to think carefully about how to proceed.
Hearing her words, Xie Qingfeng raised an eyebrow and casually said while eating, "Why go through all that trouble? Just kill him directly."
"If you want to do it without anyone noticing, I can make you a special poison that will kill Ni Dagui instantly."
"In this way, even if Ni Dagui's death is discovered, many people will probably just think that he deserved it."
Su An immediately glanced over, his expression indescribable.
A miracle doctor is definitely not someone you can easily offend; his murderous methods are chilling!
But she still shook her head and rejected his well-intentioned suggestion, saying, "No, it's too risky to do that, and it won't be satisfying enough."
