Chapter 2224: Borrowing a Knife to Kill
Outside the rockery, Qin Sisi followed the two of them all the way here, and watched them go through the small door together, stamping her feet in hatred.
No matter what they are doing, she will interrupt them!
She was about to walk towards the small door when suddenly a dark shadow flashed by, and then a man's arm grabbed her neck from behind.
Qin Sisi was about to scream, but the man's arms tightened and she couldn't shout anymore.
The man said in a gravel voice, "Trick Xiao Chongyang's daughter out, and I'll let you go."
Qin Sisi didn't know who this person was, but there was a terrifying aura about him, and the hand full of scars was also shocking to her.
The man was wearing a hat and a mask, and was obviously a gangster who sneaked into Xiao's house. He sounded like a middle-aged man, and his throat must have been injured.
"Let me go a little, I...I'll get my phone!"
The man's arms loosened a little and he threatened, "If you dare to scream, I'll stab you to death."
Qin Sisi was so scared that she nodded repeatedly: "No, no, no."
Qin Sisi didn't know what this man wanted from Xiao Hanlu, but it was definitely not a good thing. Moreover, the other party specifically asked for Xiao Chongyang's daughter. This might not be targeting Xiao Hanlu, but Uncle Xiao. Maybe he wanted to kidnap Xiao Hanlu and extort money from Uncle Xiao?
There is such a possibility.
Anyway, Qin Sisi couldn’t care less about so many things. The most important thing was to get out of this situation first.
She took out her cell phone and was about to call Xiao Hanlu, but suddenly she had a brilliant idea.
She pointed in the direction of the cave: "That's the girl who just went in!"
"Isn't that Xiao Jun's girlfriend?" asked the man in black.
"No, that's Mr. Xiao's biological daughter! Otherwise, why wouldn't Mr. Xiao let Xiao Jun be with that girl? Because they are siblings!"
These are all made up by Qin Sisi.
Seeing the man's doubt, she continued, "Xiao Hanlu is just an adopted daughter. If you want to blackmail Uncle Xiao, you might as well kidnap his biological daughter!"
"Is that really his biological daughter?"
"Of course! That woman likes Xiao Jun and is my love rival. I've investigated her thoroughly."
This time, the man believed it.
He sneered, "Biological daughter? That's good. I didn't want to kill his adopted daughter anyway. After all, she's not his own flesh and blood, so she can't feel the pain."
Qin Sisi nodded in agreement, "Can you let me go now?"
But the man didn't let go.
Qin Sisi said hurriedly, "I won't call anyone. I wish you would kill that Ruomu! Didn't I just say that she is my love rival?"
The man seemed to be judging the truth of her words and observed her for two seconds: "Girl, you really are worthy of being Xiao Chongyang's chosen daughter-in-law. You are as cruel as he is."
Qin Sisi smiled and said, "I'll take that as a compliment. Uncle, please let me go. I promise not to report you. If you kill that Ruomu, I'll thank you extra!"
At this moment, Xiao Hanlu's voice came.
"Sisi, is that you?"
The light here is dim, and Qin Sisi is standing next to the big tree, looking like she is alone.
The man's arms tightened.
Qin Sisi whispered, "You...you better let me deal with it quickly. If Sister Hanlu finds you, you will be in trouble."
The man hesitated, loosened his arms, and at the same time placed the tip of the knife against her waist.
Qin Sisi was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat and quickly said to Xiao Hanlu, "Sister Hanlu, it's me."
"What are you doing there?"
"I came out to get some fresh air, and here I am."
As she said that, she looked at the man behind her and said, "Let me go quickly, or you will be the one in trouble."
The man hesitated for two seconds, probably still afraid that Xiao Hanlu would discover him, and finally let Qin Sisi go.
Qin Sisi quickly ran to Xiao Hanlu, took Xiao Hanlu's arm, and left the rockery area.
Xiao Hanlu asked her why she came here in a hurry. Qin Sisi had no choice but to say that she didn't feel comfortable after eating, so she came out to get some fresh air. She still felt uncomfortable, so she planned to go home early.
Qin Sisi didn't dare to stay in Xiao's house anymore.
If that man was discovered and told what she had just made up, Brother Xiao Jun would know that she was using someone else's knife to kill Ruomu.
Brother Xiao Jun will hate her even more.
As long as she left the Xiao residence, the man would not be able to confront her.
Besides, the Xiao residence tonight has been infiltrated by bandits, so it is bound to be restless. For her own safety, Qin Sisi has to escape first.
Therefore, as soon as Qin Sisi returned to the banquet hall, she went to find her parents and said that she had a headache and wanted to go home.
When Qin's parents heard that their daughter was unwell, they immediately said goodbye to Xiao Chongyang.
Xiao Chongyang accompanied Qin's parents all the way to the door of the house before returning. After the negotiations just now, he finally won back Qin's parents.
Qin's parents have already made it clear that if Xiao Jun really wants to marry their daughter, he should cut off all necessary ties and come to propose marriage in person.
Because they had seen with their own eyes how good he was to that girl and how cold he was to their daughter, they felt sorry for their daughter.
Xiao Jun must show full sincerity, otherwise the marriage will be off.
Xiao Chongyang repeatedly assured that Xiao Jun actually didn't like the girl, but that the girl was pursuing Xiao Jun unilaterally and approaching him with ulterior motives. Moreover, the girl was from the countryside and took advantage of Xiao Jun's sympathy.
Qin's parents accepted this explanation.
But Qin's mother muttered, "That girl looks kind, not like a bad kid. I never thought she was so scheming."
When Qin Sisi heard her mother speaking in Ruomu's favor, her forehead jumped and she said, "Mom, you can only know a person's face but not his heart!"
Just like that, the Qin family of three got in the car and left.
Watching the Qin family's car disappear at the end of the corridor, Xiao Zhongyang turned to ask Uncle Wei beside him: "How did the talk with Ruomu go?"
"I didn't ask for money, but I agreed to leave." Uncle Wei replied.
Xiao Chongyang chuckled and said to Uncle Wei, "That's quite ambitious."
Uncle Wei nodded: "She is a strong-willed girl."
"This is the saddest part about being poor. She thinks she has dignity without money? How naive," Xiao Chongyang twirled the jeweled ring on his finger. "She'll understand in the future that without money, no one will respect her. How can she have dignity? It's ridiculous."
Uncle Wei echoed, "Yes, are you going back to the banquet hall?"
"Of course I have to go back. There are so many guests I haven't greeted yet."
After saying that, Xiao Chongyang went back to the banquet hall to socialize.
As for the theft in his study, he had quickly recovered from his frustration and anger.
This level of minor trouble was not enough to bring him down. Compared with the difficulties he had experienced in the past, it was nothing.
…
On the other side, in the dark room inside the rockery, Ruomu was kissed to pieces by Xiao Jun.
Finally, she got a chance to breathe, but before she could catch her breath, Xiao Jun took her hand, placed it on her belt, and said in a hoarse voice, "Help me untie it."
Wakamu's cheeks burned, but he still did as he was told.
Then she was pushed onto a platform that might be a stone table...
