Chapter 42 I Prefer Your Wife
The bubble tea shop owner smiled awkwardly, "Also, business is tough these days. The competition is fierce. Every bubble tea shop is undercutting prices, but the quality can't be compromised. So, we're under a lot of pressure. We're hoping that when customers come to get an ice cream, they'll also buy a bubble tea."
At this moment, Yu Xiaoluo also came over and heard their conversation.
“With something this big happening, their store manager will definitely come to see what’s going on. Go and look for him,” Yu Xiaoluo said.
The milk tea shop owner searched around with his eyes and, sure enough, found the shop manager in the crowd of onlookers, pointing to him with his finger.
The store manager saw the milk tea shop owner pointing at him and tried to slip away, but Nanshan called him back, "Hey, come here for a second."
The store manager then came over and said ingratiatingly, "Officer, is there anything I can help you with?"
Nanshan looked at Yu Xiaoluo, wanting to hear her opinion.
Yu Xiaolu observed him carefully for a moment, then said, "It's not him."
"Oh, that's none of your business then, go back." Nanshan turned to the bubble tea shop owner, "Think again, is there anyone else you have a grudge against?"
The bubble tea shop owner scratched his hair, which was so short it couldn't be shorter. "I think that's all. Oh right, a friend asked me to lend him money a while ago. I lent him money twice before and he didn't pay it back, so I didn't lend it to him this time. He didn't seem to say anything, so I don't think it was him."
Yu Xiaoluo looked at him, "Do you have a photo of your friend?"
"Let me see, I think he posted a video on a certain Douyin account." So he took out his phone and searched for a while, and found the video.
After reading it, Yu Xiaolu shook her head. "No."
Now, the bubble tea shop owner was truly at a loss.
At this moment, a middle-aged man of similar age came over and asked, "Atao, what happened here? How could such a big thing have happened?"
The milk tea shop owner, Zheng Tao, sighed and replied, "I don't know what happened either."
After staring at the man for a few seconds, Yu Xiaoluo pointed at him and said to Nanshan, "It's him. He's the one who cast the spell."
The man's expression changed drastically. "What nonsense are you spouting? What do you mean by 'me'?"
"Your mistake was being too confident, which led you into a trap."
Although the man denied it verbally, his actions betrayed him; he tried to run away, but Nanshan grabbed him.
Zheng Tao looked at him in disbelief, then glanced at Nanshan and Yu Xiaoluo.
"You—you might have misunderstood. He wouldn't do such a thing. We often get together to play mahjong—"
Yu Xiaolu interrupted him, "Is he addicted to gambling and has lost a lot of money?"
Zheng Tao was taken aback. "Yes."
"This man's gaze was unfocused, filled with anxiety and greed. His nostrils were protruding, his chin was narrow and thin, and his forehead was flat and dark in color—the face of a gambler. He was stingy, lingering when he won and unwilling to accept defeat when he lost, which led to him losing more and more."
Yu Xiaoluo continued to stare at the man, "You also have a murder case on your record. You once partnered with a business associate, but robbed him of all his money and dumped his body at sea. Afterwards, you fled to a Miao village deep in the mountains, hid for a while, secretly learned the art of raising Gu poison, and then changed your identity. And your current wife is under the influence of your love Gu poison, am I right, Uncle?"
Zheng Tao took a step back in fright. "Tu Jinxing, is this true? I remember you said that you lived in an ancient village in Yunnan for several years. Do you really know Gu magic?"
Tu Jinxing's face turned ugly at first. He didn't know how this little girl knew everything, but then he laughed loudly, "So what if it is, so what if it isn't? You think you can catch me? Come on if you're not afraid of death!"
He opened his mouth, and a winged insect crawled out and flew towards Nanshan.
Yu Xiaoluo was even faster than him; a red thing flew out of her sleeve and swallowed the insect whole.
That's right, it was Little Fairy. Little Fairy ate it directly.
Then Yu Xiaoluo took it back. No one could see Xiaoxianxian's figure clearly. They only felt a red shadow suddenly appear and then suddenly disappear.
Tu Jinxing was shocked. This was a Gu worm he had raised for many years, and it was just gone like that? Gone?
How could that be? Just who is this girl?
He freed one hand, drew a dagger, and was about to stab Nanshan when Nanshan used a grappling technique, his steel-like hand tightly gripping his wrist. He cried out in pain and the dagger fell to the ground.
Zheng Tao looked at him with great confusion, "Tu Jinxing, why did you want to harm me? I've treated you well. Every time we played mahjong, I treated you to a meal. Although I won more than you, you were the one who asked me to play many times."
"Heh, you have the nerve to say that? You guys ganged up on me, do you think I didn't know? I've warned you many times."
"No, we really don't!"
“You guys are always showing off at the card table, talking about how much money you've made, how great your wives are, and how outstanding your kids are. Every time I hear that, I feel like killing you!”
"Don't you have a wife? Or did you get a love potion on her?!"
"But I like your wife more! I'm going to ruin you, make you lose all your reputation, and make your wife want to be with you."
I'm leaving. I want her to truly love me! I want her to know that I can succeed without using witchcraft!
Everyone was speechless after seeing this.
Zheng Tao was so angry that he trembled, and after a long while he could only utter three words, "Crazy."
Indeed, there's no point in reasoning with someone who's psychologically twisted.
Just then, Nanshan's phone rang. "Captain Nan, hedgehogs are like porcupines deep in the mountains, they're not easy to find."
Nanshan frowned. "Still haven't found it?"
"No."
Nanshan shouted sternly, "Tu Jinxing, quickly cure their poison!"
Tu Jinxing laughed maniacally again, "Kneel down and beg me, and I can cure their poison! Or just let me go!"
"Tu Jinxing, don't be so arrogant!"
"Then you can just wait to die!"
Yu Xiaoluo laughed when she heard this, "Waiting to die? With me here, you won't die."
"You little brat, how dare you spout such nonsense!"
There is a way to save Yu Xiaoluo. The four demon pets can be released back into the deep mountains to find the hedgehog, but right now, apart from the greedy little fairy who came back for milk-flavored steamed buns, the other three have gone out to find Ming Jiuyou and haven't returned. It just takes time, although there is enough time, but the patient and her family are worried about becoming anxious.
"Are you really unwilling to get the detoxification?" Yu Xiaoluo approached him with a smile.
She smiled brightly, the kind of carefree kind. Her clear eyes narrowed, and her adorable little dumpling was enough to make anyone swoon, but it gave Tu Jinxing the creeps.
Tu Jinxing didn't respond for a moment.
