Xu Qingqing glanced at Situ Kong's subordinates behind him, who were pointing guns at him, and frowned.
Threatened by Xu Qingqing's gaze, and knowing that this was someone even their Master Qing couldn't afford to offend, the man lowered the gun he had been holding to Situ Kong's head and took a few steps back.
Xu Qingqing waved to him, and the man, pale-faced, stepped forward, awaiting his fate.
Um?
Is she some kind of monster or a flood?
Xu Qingqing took the gun from his hand and played with it in her palm for a moment.
The man stared intently at the gun in Xu Qingqing's hand, his throat bobbing as he swallowed, his heart racing along with the gun.
Xu Qingqing played with it for a moment, then put it in her canvas bag under the watchful eyes of the two men.
She has now developed a habit of carrying it with her whenever she goes out, except when she is at home; she can't miss it for even a moment.
In case of any unexpected event, she also has this bag as cover, making it convenient for her to take things out of her spatial storage.
Situ Kong's eyes flashed, and he understood her plan. Indeed, they were currently in someone else's base camp, without any pistols, and in constant danger.
Even if Xu Qingqing is pretending to be a member of the Zhao family, who can guarantee that some idiot won't shoot them from behind?
Patting the pistol in her bag, Xu Qingqing got up and walked outside.
Outside, Master Qing was with his two brothers, still wearing the same clothes stained with dog urine. They dared not complain and had to carefully serve Xu Qingqing.
After Yuan Xiaoqing took the antidote, Master Qing instructed his men to take her back to her room.
As for Jin Dahu's corpse lying to the side, no one cared. A simple "take care of it" was all it took. Soon, someone came over and dragged Jin Dahu's body to the backyard. As for how they disposed of it, I think only they themselves know.
When Master Qing saw Situ Kong behind Xu Qingqing, his eyes flashed. He was lucky today.
Master Qing bowed and said with a smile, "My esteemed guest, we have prepared a gift for you outside as an apology for what happened. If you think it is not enough, I will prepare another one for you."
"Okay, I'll take a look, but I'll only give you one chance."
After Xu Qingqing finished speaking, she led the way outside, followed by Situ Kong and then Master Qing.
Master Qing's face darkened, and he looked at Situ Kong with a sinister gaze: "Boy, you're quite capable, managing to latch onto a powerful figure. I underestimated you."
Situ Kong smiled and said modestly, "Not at all, I learned all this from Master Qing. When it comes to these kinds of skills, Master Qing is the most knowledgeable."
"What do you mean?" Master Qing sensed the hidden meaning in his words, and his pupils suddenly darkened.
Situ Kong smiled but did not reply; his gaze simply faded.
Master Qing clenched his fist, a bold guess forming in his mind. It seemed this kid knew about what happened back then. But what puzzled him was that he had eliminated all those who knew about what happened back then. How did this kid know?
Could there be other people who knew the truth and escaped this ordeal?
Thinking of this, Master Qing's expression turned even more unpleasant.
Xu Qingqing kept her attention behind her, her gossipy heart instantly burning with excitement. However, she was now a member of the Zhao family, not a bystander. She had to hold back!
All the gifts prepared by Master Qing were placed in one car.
Xu Qingqing stepped forward and opened them one by one. Just as she had guessed, most of them contained fine wines. Although there were few gold and silver jewelry pieces, each one was extremely valuable and was considered a masterpiece among masterpieces.
Not bad, it seems that Master Qing is quite wealthy.
but.
"Master Qing, is that it? Isn't your sincerity a bit lacking?" Xu Qingqing sneered, pointing to the pile of gifts, especially the gold and silver jewelry: "You look down on my Zhao family, trying to fool me with this little bit of stuff."
Master Qing lowered his head, looking anxious and uneasy: "I'll arrange another one. I wonder which one the esteemed guest would prefer?"
"I've heard that you have a considerable collection of calligraphy and paintings, all of them genuine works by famous people," Xu Qingqing said, stopping there.
Master Qing's face darkened, and he clenched his teeth. He did indeed have calligraphy and paintings, but these were things he planned to pass down as family heirlooms, from generation to generation.
He valued these calligraphy and paintings more than gold, silver and jewelry, believing they would become priceless treasures in the future.
Unfortunately, the other party was someone he couldn't afford to offend, so Master Qing endured the pain and personally went to select the calligraphy and paintings.
During this time, Xu Qingqing directed Yuan Di to go into the yard and catch the wolfhound pup.
Yuan Di turned and went into the yard with a dark face, and quickly caught the wolfhound pup.
She took the wolfhound puppy, sat on the sofa, and held it in her arms, playing with it.
Master Qing opened the selected calligraphy and paintings one by one in front of her.
Xu Qingqing glanced at them, waved for them to put the wine in the car, picked up the wine next to her, poured it into several glasses, raised her eyes, picked up a glass first, and gestured with her hand.
Master Qing frowned, puzzled: "I wonder what you mean by this, sir?"
"It seems Master Qing is playing dumb with me." Xu Qingqing raised an eyebrow and chuckled, but the expression on her face instantly turned cold the next second: "I told you to drink, so you drank. It seems you want my Zhao family to wipe out your little Green Gang."
Seeing the restrained expression on Qingye's face, she almost burst out laughing. She wanted him to know that the wine was poisoned, but still make him drink it himself.
She did this to prevent this person from secretly investigating her, discovering her identity, and then retaliating against Xu's father and the others. Given Qing Ye's personality, it's hard for him not to do that.
Rather than waiting to be discovered, it's better to resolve this once and for all. Only by drinking this cup of wine and seizing control of their lifeline will the other side dare not make any rash moves.
In the end, Master Qing had no choice but to give in and drink it along with the two brothers.
Snap snap—
Xu Qingqing stood up, clapped, and grinned: "Very good. It seems that Master Qing is quite sensible. Since we have already drunk the wine, we will not disturb Master Qing any longer."
After saying that, she picked up the wolfhound pup and walked towards the car. When she reached the car door, Xu Qingqing stopped, turned around and looked at Master Qing. She smiled and reminded him, "By the way, Master Qing, don't even think about investigating me, or you'll have to watch your life."
After saying that, she took a small bottle out of her canvas bag and threw it to Master Qing, who hurriedly caught it.
"Remember, take one pill every month, or you will have to bear the consequences yourself. The amount is only enough for three of you for a year. I will send you more after a year."
Qingye gripped the bottle tightly, his gaze fixed on the departing car with a sinister intensity.
The Zhao family, they're all damned Zhao family. He'll remember this humiliation.
Inside the car, Xu Qingqing hummed a song, feeling quite pleased with herself. Not only had she gained this windfall, but she could also cause trouble for the Zhao family. It was truly an exciting thing.
No wonder the villains in those novels are so arrogant and act so recklessly; it's really addictive, especially the way they seem to want to kill her but can't.
