Chapter 139 Are you kidding us?
Medicine smell? In other words...
Du Desheng's heart was pounding, and he wanted to rush into the house immediately and find his lover.
Du Anrao ignored the quarrel between Qin Shouye and the village chief, and looked up at the stairs to the second floor as if he had sensed something.
"Can't people live on the second floor? My grandfather has bad legs and feet and suffers from rheumatism. He may not be able to adapt to living on the first floor."
"No." Unexpectedly, Qin Shouye was very persistent about this matter.
"My grandma is sick and recuperating on the second floor. She cannot be disturbed. Your activity space is limited to the first floor. You cannot go up."
Duan Rao raised his eyebrows and sneered, "It seems that we spent so much money, but we can't even pick a room we like. After choosing and choosing, we can only live on the first floor. How is this different from living anywhere else?"
Xi Jingyue knew from Duan Rao's expression that the person they were looking for should be on the second floor, so he continued, "Isn't it? You asked us if we are sincere. Is this your way of treating guests with sincerity?"
"Don't be angry, that's not what he meant..."
Before the village chief could finish his words, Qin Shouye's face darkened and he interrupted his explanation.
"You can live here if you want. It's just a few bucks. Why are you showing off to me? This is my home! At worst, I can return the money to you."
Qin Shouye's attitude changed really quickly. He looked like he loved money like his life before, but when he was asked to go upstairs, he immediately changed his expression and even didn't want money. It was hard not to suspect whether there was some shameful secret upstairs.
Just when the atmosphere downstairs was stagnant and subtle, and Du Desheng couldn't help but want to lead his men directly to the second floor to attack, a female voice suddenly came from upstairs.
"What's making such a loud noise? Is there anyone sleeping upstairs?"
Duanrao subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice and saw a fat woman in her forties or fifties. He took a closer look.
[Ah, is this the nanny who was seduced by the ungrateful adopted son? ]
Du Desheng and others: What?!
Everyone's eyes were focused on the fat woman who weighed at least 200 pounds, with subtle expressions.
[I never knew this adopted son… had such strong tastes that he could do such a thing! As expected, people who can accomplish great things can endure things that ordinary people cannot endure. A small-time person like me with no ambitions would never wrong myself like him.]
The crowd of onlookers: “…” That’s what he said, but you, a salted fish, have done much more than him!
When they looked up and saw the aunt, the three of them said: "..."
Well, they admitted that they were not really capable of doing anything great.
[Hmm? So that ungrateful adopted son sent Grandma Qin to this godforsaken place, and there is a hidden reason behind this. ]
Hidden secrets? And secrets that they don't know about?
Du Desheng and Du Junyan looked at each other and pricked up their ears at the same time.
As for Xi Jingyue, who joined in midway, although he was not quite clear about the cause and effect, it did not prevent him from watching the show on the spot.
The hidden secret that Du Anrao mentioned was nothing more than that Miss Qin's adopted son, with the help of the nanny, schemed to obtain Miss Qin's property, but did not find a priceless authentic painting of Wu Daozi that she had collected in her early years among her collections.
The adopted son had long set his eyes on this painting, and was prepared to use it to curry favor with an important figure in the hope of gaining a great opportunity, but who knew that Miss Qin had a trick up her sleeve.
In a rage, the adopted son yelled at Miss Qin and almost hit her.
Du Desheng was startled and then started grinding his teeth again.
Miss Qin had been imprisoned and tortured by her adopted son for a period of time, but she still refused to give in. In addition, someone in the family had noticed what was happening on their side and had their eyes on the painting.
Therefore, due to the situation, Miss Qin was sent to this remote mountain village where information was cut off, and a nanny was also asked to accompany Miss Qin, in the name of taking care of her, but in fact to monitor her and to get the whereabouts of the painting from Grandma Qin.
[No wonder I could smell medicine as soon as I entered the house. That ungrateful bastard still doesn't know the whereabouts of the painting, and he doesn't dare to let Grandma Qin die of illness. By the time he finds out where the painting is, or has information from other channels, Grandma Qin will be useless...]
Naturally, just as the original plot described, she was left to fend for herself and died of illness.
[This adopted son is really crazy. He even gave the nanny a knife. This is to prevent someone else from finding this place before Grandma Qin gives in and getting the painting before him. He would rather destroy something that he can't get than let others get it. How sick! ]
Du Desheng's heart skipped a beat, and he was once again glad that he had chosen to follow Du Anrao out of caution instead of rushing over on his own after hearing the beginning.
Otherwise, according to his personality, he would definitely bring people to kill his lover as soon as he learned of her whereabouts, and take her away using the most forceful means.
But if that were the case, the nanny would certainly mistakenly think that they were there to snatch the original Wu Daozi painting that was nowhere to be found, and would attack her lover.
Without knowing that the nanny had a knife on her, could he really keep his lover safe and sound? The answer is undoubtedly no.
After wasting half his life, he finally found his lover, but when he got her back, he saw her being murdered. Du Desheng really couldn't imagine how crazy he would do.
The few people who could hear Duanrao's inner thoughts were especially shocked that the nanny carried a weapon with her. The only bodyguard who didn't know the inside story, Uncle Amin, frowned and looked tense when he saw the aunt who suddenly ran out.
"Didn't you just say that he was the only one at home? It's ok that he has a grandmother who is recuperating upstairs, but who is this person?"
In their line of work, the most taboo thing is to have too many unpredictable strangers around the employer. The village chief's concealment obviously touched his sensitive nerves.
The nanny was also wary of the group of people who suddenly appeared at home: "What's going on? Who are these people? What are they doing here?"
The village chief looked embarrassed and explained to the other party the purpose of Du Anrao and others' visit, but he didn't expect that after the nanny heard it, her face suddenly turned dark and she turned around and attacked Qin Shouye directly.
"How could you agree to let them stay overnight? Have you forgotten what the master told you before? The old lady needs to rest, rest! She can't have contact with outsiders. You brought so many outsiders home all of a sudden. Are you turning a deaf ear to the master's words?"
Qin Shouye was criticized by her and his face looked very ugly.
I resented that this stupid woman was just a nanny, but she dared to accuse me in front of so many people, making me embarrassed. At the same time, I was afraid that she would really call someone to complain.
You know, his parents are working for that uncle now. If they really knew that he had messed up, they would come back and beat him to death!
"I will return their money now and tell them to go away."
Du Junyan and the others were also amused: "Are you kidding us? Do you really think we can be summoned and dismissed at will?"
