Chapter 330 Deal
Tong Rui had been observing Wan Quan's every move. When she saw him touching his chest, she knew that he must be looking for the lost jade token.
"What are you looking for? Did you lose something?"
Wan Quan's face turned pale. He looked at Tong Rui and nodded, but did not say what he had lost. He did not want to be controlled step by step. Wan Xingmo had said that one should not answer the other party's questions easily, as this would easily allow the other party to seize the initiative, and one would be led by the nose unconsciously and fall into the trap set by the other party.
"Maybe I have something you lost. Why don't you tell me what you lost?"
Wan Quan turned his head away and said nothing, but he was very anxious. On the one hand, he wanted to get the jade token back, and on the other hand, he wanted to leave quickly to find a guide.
"No talk? Never mind. This thing is of no use to me anyway, just throw it away."
Tong Rui held the jade token in her hand and prepared to throw it into the fire.
"Wait a minute, that's my stuff. You took it without asking, which is stealing. Now you want to throw it away in front of me?"
Wan Quan rushed forward like an enraged wolf and tried to snatch the thing from Tong Rui, but he overestimated his physical condition.
Just as he took a step, he felt dizzy and fell to the ground with a thud. Then a strong foot stepped on his back.
"Boy, don't be ungrateful. It was our Madam who saved you. Not to mention a jade token, even your life belongs to our Madam. What right do you have to be so arrogant? Be honest, or I will throw you out for the same reason I saved you."
Wan Quan felt extremely humiliated at this moment, but he had no power to resist. His hands hung limply at his sides, his eyes were red, and his face was pressed to the ground by Anan.
"Anan, let him go. He is not even as good as a woman now. He is no threat to me."
Tong Rui looked down at Wan Quan, with no emotion visible in her eyes.
Anan took his feet away and stood aside, keeping alert at all times.
Tongrui handed the jade token to Hongmei and asked her to put it in front of Wanquan for him to confirm.
"Look carefully, is this the jade token?"
Hongmei squatted down, placed the jade token in her palm, and put it in front of Wanquan.
Wan Quan looked at the familiar jade pendant, tears flashed in his eyes, as if he saw the appearance of little Fubao.
"Let me ask you a question. Who gave you this jade token? If you answer this question, I can meet any of your requirements, including sending you back to the Da Qi army."
This condition was too tempting for Wanquan, but he felt that this matter was unusual. Why did the other party value this jade token so much? Could it be that the jade token given to him by Fubao had some origin?
Wanquan was full of thoughts, and then he asked a question: "In that case, I will also ask you a question. If you can answer it truthfully, I will answer your question."
"Excuse me." Tong Rui asked without hesitation.
"Do you know the owner of this jade token?"
Wan Quan looked at Tong Rui with some anticipation in his heart.
Tong Rui's expression remained unchanged, she still had a faint smile on her face, and said gently: "Indeed, we are old acquaintances. The owner of this jade token once saved my life, otherwise I would not have saved you. It was this jade token that saved your life."
Tong Rui wanted to try to get closer to Wan Quan and get him to let down his guard. She felt that Wan Quan was too defensive.
Sure enough, Wan Quan was somewhat moved, and his tense nerves showed signs of relaxing.
"Can you answer my question now? Does this jade token belong to that little girl?"
Wan Quan saw that everyone had revealed the identity of Xiao Fubao, so there was no point in hiding it any longer. After all, Xiao Fubao had saved the woman's life, and Wan Quan had no doubt about that. After all, Xiao Fubao could bring good luck to people. Although she didn't know when Xiao Fubao had saved the woman, Wan Quan was certain that the story of him saving her life was not fake.
"Yes, it's a little girl's." Wan Quan nodded and didn't say anything else.
"What is your relationship with the little girl?"
Tong Rui was a little anxious and asked quickly.
Wan Quan's vigilance, which had just been relaxed, rose again. Wan Xingmo told him that Fubao's real identity was the princess of Yue. He also knew that Fubao was not his biological sister. Wan Xingmo also told him that Fubao's identity should be kept secret and not revealed to others easily.
"That's another question. I can choose not to answer it." Wan Quan said this and lowered his head indifferently without saying another word to Tong Rui.
A trace of helplessness flashed across Tong Rui's face. This kid was really a tough nut to crack. He was worthy of being a soldier of the Great Qi. His vigilance was extremely strong.
"In this case, I must fulfill my promise. Is there anything you need me to do for you?"
Tong Rui did not give up. Although she could not get the answer she wanted from the boy, she did not gain nothing. At least she knew that the boy and the little girl were connected. Since there was a connection, as long as she kept a close eye on the boy, she would surely be able to follow the clues and find the little girl. Anyway, she still had some time to waste with him, so she was not in a hurry.
Wan Quan looked at Tong Rui with some suspicion.
"I didn't give you the answer you wanted, why are you still willing to help me?"
"No reason. I am willing. I am a businessman, and businessmen value their promises. Since I already know that the owner of this jade token is acquainted with you, then we are destined to be together. I have repaid her for saving my life."
Although Wan Quan was somewhat skeptical about Tong Rui's words, he had no better solution now. These people could travel between the battlefields of Da Qi and Beiliang, which showed that they were not ordinary businessmen and must have certain strength. Could he use their power to help Wan Xingmo out of the predicament?
"If you can help me rescue one person, I will tell you the relationship between the owner of the jade token and me."
Tong Rui remained silent. For her now, it didn't matter whether Wan Quan said it or not. After all, she already had a backup plan in her mind. If Wan Quan told her directly, she would still have to find out where Wan Quan's hometown was before she could find the little girl. She wouldn't save any trouble in the process. The important thing was that she had to gain Wan Quan's trust and gradually break down this boy's defenses.
"make a deal."
Tong Rui agreed readily.
After the two reached a deal, Tong Rui told Aunt Li: "Aunt Li, feed him well, otherwise he won't have the strength to travel tomorrow."
"Yes, ma'am."
Tong Rui didn't say anything more and turned to go into the inner room.
Aunt Li served Wan Quan a bowl of minced meat porridge. The rich aroma made Wan Quan drool.
"Come on, young man, eat it while it's hot."
Wan Quan took it, said "thank you" and then hugged Wan and drank it in big gulps.
He finished a bowl of porridge in just a few mouthfuls.
"Anything else? You're such a great cook."
Aunt Li was happy to be praised. With a smile on her face, she took the bowl from Wan Quan's hand.
"Yes, I will give you enough."
Wan Quan drank three bowls of porridge in a row, and the burning sensation finally eased a little.
