Qi Lin paused, turned around and looked at the newcomer, his face showing obvious anger as he asked, "Manager Liu, what do you mean?"
Qi Lin came out late and did not see Manager Liu and others. Unexpectedly, the other party returned in front and ran into him.
There was blood on Manager Liu's body, and the two men traveling with him were carrying huge packages on their backs, obviously having committed murder and robbery.
"What do you mean? Isn't it obvious?"
Shopkeeper Liu stroked his beard, smiling with his face but not his heart.
This trip was just to rob the lone people.
They arrived on the third day of the Lunar New Year and stayed in the tunnel for three days. They had no intention of going to Sishui City.
Robbing in the tunnel and returning the same way after eating was exactly what Manager Liu had planned.
As expected, we reaped a rich harvest along the way.
Unexpectedly, after turning back, there was another fat sheep delivered to the door.
Shopkeeper Liu rubbed his hands, staring at the package in Qi Lin's hand and the cart beside Jiang Yuzhu, determined to get them.
Qi Lin's expression gradually turned cold. "We are doing business together in the border town. Do you have any conscience? You actually rob your own people?"
Manager Liu opened a fur shop next to the Qi family's shop.
The two of them are quite familiar with each other on weekdays, and occasionally have a drink together when the weather gets cold.
Qi Lin never expected that Manager Liu would appear in the tunnel.
"Qi Lin, what a joke, who is your friend?"
The three men on Manager Liu's side became addicted to robbery after tasting the sweetness of robbery. He has done this kind of thing more than once.
It costs thirty taels to go down the tunnel once, and you have to give benefits to the people guarding the tunnel.
How can I make my money back without robbing?
"You don't need to talk to me. Since you have been caught, just consider it bad luck. You all must die."
Manager Liu was covered in blood and carrying a large package. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what was going on.
When Qi Lin saw him, he decided to kill him to silence him.
"Li Da, Li Er, there's no need to leave anyone alive!"
Shopkeeper Liu was too lazy to talk nonsense with Qi Lin and gave instructions to the two people behind him.
"Yes, shopkeeper!"
Liu Da and Liu Er strode forward, holding shining swords in their hands, forcing Qi Lin into a corner.
Qi Lin was not completely unprepared. He pulled out a dagger and used it to block his body. He turned to Jiang Yuzhu and said apologetically, "Aunt Chen, it's my nephew who has implicated you and Brother Shen!"
Jiang Yuzhu and Xie Zhao both used their mother's family's surnames.
Qi Lin looked guilty. If he hadn't taken the initiative to strike up a conversation and find a partner, perhaps the two of them could have gotten away with it.
"It's okay, you don't want to."
Jiang Yuzhu said something perfunctorily and insincerely.
In this situation, even if Qi Lin distanced himself from the matter, Manager Liu would definitely not let him go given his greedy nature.
Jiang Yuzhu watched coldly and breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.
The fact that Manager Liu and his two companions were able to rob property shows that the tunnel is not as scary as we thought.
After being used to seeing well-trained assassins, the three men led by Manager Liu always felt that they were not up to the standard and more like a mob.
The two sides were confronting each other, when suddenly a cold wind blew and the fire and oil lamp were extinguished.
The tunnel was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
Seeing this, Qi Lin hurriedly squatted down and moved to the surrounding area as slowly as possible.
As long as Qi Lin doesn't make a sound, Manager Liu won't be able to find him.
It would be better to kill these people in the dark without leaving any hidden dangers.
Qi Lin closed his eyes and made a silent wish.
Jiang Yuzhu leaned calmly in the same place without moving. Then she heard a puffing sound, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
After a while, it became dead silent again.
Qi Lin held his breath for a long time before he trembled and asked, "Aunt Chen, Brother Shen, are you okay?"
Another period of waiting passed, and Qi Lin felt that it was extremely long.
After the fire was reignited, Qi Lin, Jiang Yuzhu and Xie Zhao looked at each other in surprise.
There were only three people in the area with light, and Manager Liu and his followers were nowhere to be seen.
There was no blood on the ground, but the package was left behind.
Qi Lin widened his eyes in disbelief. Could it be that the Buddha heard his wish?
"Is it...haunted?"
Qi Lin rubbed his eyes. If the extra package was not there, Qi Lin would even think that he was hallucinating.
He was more inclined to believe that the person killed by Manager Liu had transformed into a ghost and came back for revenge, but when he thought of his father's tragic end, Qi Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Aunt Chen, thank you for saving my life!"
Qi Lin looked at Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu, and finally acquiesced that Jiang Yuzhu was the hidden boss.
Come to think of it, if the woman wasn't so confident, how could she dare to go down the tunnel?
Qi Lin knelt down and kowtowed devoutly, saying, "From now on, you are my godmother!"
Qi Lin didn't want a penny for the package left by Manager Liu. It was not what he deserved.
"Everyone who sees it gets a share."
Jiang Yuzhu felt that she could use Qi Lin, so she made a suggestion.
Qi Lin was even more terrified. He touched his neck and let out a long sigh, "Godmother, if you hadn't helped me, even if my son survived, he would have been seriously injured. How could I have the nerve to ask for money?"
Not only does Qi Lin not ask for money, he will also be filial to his godmother!
“Brother Shen, are you right?”
Qi Lin looked at Xie Zhao, looking for someone to help him.
Xie Zhao glanced at Qi Lin lazily and said word by word: “You shouldn’t call me Brother Shen.”
Qi Lin smiled sheepishly and said, "Brother Shen?"
It was his negligence. He should have found out the other person's age first. Some people don't like being called old.
Xie Zhao's eyes flickered, and his smile quickly disappeared. He only heard him correct him in a rigid tone, "I am your godfather."
"Godfather?"
Qi Lin staggered, his gossipy heart burning. If he hadn't said that, although his godmother was a little older, she must have been a beauty when she was young. How could she be interested in a pockmarked face?
Xie Zhao nodded and responded calmly: "Yeah."
Qi Lin: “…”
Although he felt a little uncomfortable, Qi Lin quickly convinced himself when he thought of the life-saving grace.
"Godfather, Godmother, do you have a place to stay in Surabaya City?"
Qi Lin asked excitedly and wanted to introduce them to his sister Qi Ju.
He is his godfather and godmother, so Qi Ju should call them that.
"Just stay at the inn. It's no trouble."
Xie Zhao suddenly changed his mind and thought that it would be more convenient to get information if he could stay in a commoner's home.
Qi Lin waved his hand and said, "How can that be possible? The inns in Sishui City are not peaceful, and there are robberies at night. Although my godmother has some skills, it's not good for her to be targeted by thieves."
After Qi Lin finished speaking, he bowed respectfully to Jiang Yuzhu and suggested again, "After we meet my sister, we can hold a family reunion banquet."
Although the pockmarked face looks a bit unattractive, since he is the one that the godmother likes, she will reluctantly acknowledge him as her father.
Now that Qi Lin’s biological father is gone, he cries out more and more fluently.
Jiang Yuzhu: “…”
She did nothing. While Xie Zhao was cleaning up the mess, she was thinking. When she came to her senses, she suddenly found that she had both a son and a daughter!
This change is huge.
