After being released from the cowshed, Zhu Qinghao, unusually, did not go directly home. Instead, she decided to walk home slowly from a section of road not far from her home, and take the opportunity to digest her food.
As soon as she came out of the space, before she even had a chance to turn on her flashlight, she found a dim but bright light shining in front of her house.
She had initially thought it might be Si Tian, but after taking a couple of steps, she immediately dismissed the idea.
Firstly, Si Tian wouldn't come to see her this late, and secondly, Si Tian usually doesn't use such dim kerosene lamps; she even finds the flashlights sold on the market too dim.
Having figured out the problem, Zhu Qinghao's heart skipped a beat. Her thoughts raced, and she guessed at countless possibilities. Then she entered the space and quietly approached the faint light.
However, she might have returned late. Just as she was about to approach, she saw the light getting further and further away from her doorstep.
Zhu Qinghao didn't even know what the other party did, how could she just let them leave like that?
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an uninvited guest, and more importantly, this "uninvited guest" turned out to be an acquaintance.
They were none other than Shi Qiang and Zhu Pandi.
As soon as I got closer, I heard Zhu Pandi's weak voice, which was shivering from the cold.
"Brother Qiang, do you think Zhu Qinghao isn't home? We've been searching for so long, but we haven't heard anyone come out."
Upon hearing this, Shi Qiang was stunned for a moment, then said uncertainly:
"Probably not, silly Nana. It's best if she doesn't find out about us, otherwise we're doomed if she does."
"What's the big deal? Didn't we buy that thing? We'll give it to her when the time comes, and she won't be able to do anything but watch us... Hmph."
Zhu Pandi didn't finish speaking, but that didn't affect Zhu Qinghao's understanding of the general meaning.
Good grief, these two are after her again. I wonder what "that thing" they're talking about is? And what are they planning to do to her this time?
Zhu Qinghao was about to follow them, wanting to hear what they had to say, when she saw Shi Qiang's expression change the next moment.
"Nana, shut up! This is something you know and I know, but you absolutely cannot tell anyone. It's very dangerous, you know that!"
Shi Qiang's tone was more serious than ever before, which immediately broke Zhu Pandi's guard.
"Brother Qiang, you're mean to me..."
Shi Qiang was, after all, a sycophant, and he couldn't resist Zhu Pandi's tears and her pitiful tone.
Upon hearing Zhu Pandi's accusations, he immediately softened his attitude, went over and took her hand.
"Okay Nana, I'm not being mean to you, it's just that these things really can't be talked about outside. What if someone overhears us?"
Zhu Pandi refused and immediately shook off his hand.
"You're lying! It's the middle of the night, who could possibly hear that!"
You're just trying to yell at me. And when I gave you advice before, why didn't you tell me I couldn't say anything? Now I've only mentioned it a couple of times, and you're yelling at me like this!
"Are you trying to drive me away so you can go to Zhu Qinghao's house and take all the stuff for yourself? Or are you after Zhu Qinghao's body?"
Shi Qiang's face was contorted in pain, but he still had no choice but to grab Zhu Pandi and almost hug her.
"Nana, what are you thinking?! I took such a big risk to come here with you so that you could have a better life. How can you say that I want to take it all for myself?"
And Zhu Qinghao, everyone knows she's been used and abused, why would I care? Don't think such nonsense..."
"You're talking nonsense! You're not doing this for me at all; you're after Zhu Qinghao's money and possessions. Stop with your high-sounding words!"
