Chapter 355 Mutual Killing
Ade's hurried pace drew whispers from the staff at his restaurant.
"Why do you think Uncle De has been talking to the official so much these past few days?"
"You know nothing! You need to get on good terms with the officials to have a smooth life from now on!"
“Uncle De’s expression was never good after talking with the official; he didn’t seem like he was trying to build a good relationship.”
"Could it be that the rumors outside are true, and it's Uncle De..." The man hesitated, not daring to continue.
On the third floor, Ade once again anxiously approached Pei Yuan to inform him of the latest situation.
Pei Yuan, who had always been calm, finally lost his composure, and his eyes showed a hint of anger.
He looked at Ade with a sinister gaze and said coldly, "How did you arrange your men? Why was there an assassination attempt?"
Ade wiped the sweat from his brow and bowed, saying, "The man I arranged couldn't possibly kill someone. How could he kill that child? The child didn't know anything at all!"
"Then tell me, what happened?" Pei Yuan slammed his hand on the table, his face filled with barely suppressed anger.
Ade couldn't explain it either, and didn't know exactly what happened.
But he felt there must be something wrong with it!
"Shopkeeper, how about... I ask that person?" He seemed a little hesitant, unsure of Pei Yuan's thoughts.
But he had already made up his mind that he had to find out the truth and not let that person get caught and betray him!
"Going now, are you going to be your own suicide mission?"
Pei Yuan usually thought Ade was quite clever, so why was he acting so stupid today?
If this is a scheme by the government, isn't it tantamount to sending someone to their death?
Then, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly, "Go, go and deal with that person!"
Ade was taken aback.
He just wanted to get to the bottom of things, not for the shopkeeper to tell him to kill the man outright...
Pei Yuan looked coldly at Ade and said indifferently, "Clean it up properly, otherwise you know what the consequences will be if the authorities catch you? You don't want anything to happen to your wife and children, do you?"
Ade suddenly took a step back, looking at Pei Yuan in a panic with disbelief in his eyes.
Is this really the same Manager Pei I know?
He actually used his own wife and children as a threat!
But what choice did he have?
Ade knew that whether he went to deal with it or not, he could not escape this calamity.
If he handles it cleanly, he'll still have a way out.
"Manager Pei... if... if something happens to me, can you take care of them for me?" Ade was no longer anxious, but seemed lost and distraught.
Pei Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly, "As long as I am safe, they will be safe too!"
Ade looked up at Pei Yuan, then said nothing more, put on his raincoat, and left the guests from all directions.
The rain drizzled for several hours.
In the afternoon, it finally stopped.
In the woodshed in the backyard of Xinglong Restaurant, Xiao Yi's lips were pale, and he seemed to have fainted.
Suddenly, the door to the woodshed opened.
"Feed him first." Wan Qiqi stood at the door and didn't go in.
Wu Gousheng carried the rice porridge inside, patted Xiao Yi's face, and said, "Hey, wake up, time to eat!"
He touched his cheek and felt a burning sensation. He turned around and said, "Sister Qi, he has a fever!"
Wan Qiqi naturally knew that the other party had a fever!
If you don't change your clothes after getting caught in the rain and are tied up for an hour or two, it would be strange if you didn't get a fever.
She glanced at the hall and said calmly, "Don't worry about it, just force-feed him the porridge."
She put fever reducer in the porridge; it should make her feel better after eating it.
Although she despised the person who administered the drug, she couldn't truly ignore a life.
Even if he is guilty, he should be convicted by the government, not tortured to death like this.
Wu Gousheng didn't ask why, but obediently did as he was told.
A moment later, he came out, his eyes filled with worry. "Sister-in-law, he might not make it through the night."
Wan Qiqi didn't answer him, but said, "Keep an eye on him later. He should have something to say when he wakes up."
As soon as she finished speaking, she walked into the hall and noticed two men standing at the door.
One person was talking to the constables, while the other was tied up.
But Wan Qiqi recognized that the person who was tied up was Pei Yuan, the manager of Bafang Laike.
In an alley in Hefeng Town.
Ade took off his raincoat, placed it in the corner, and knocked on the gate of the courtyard in front of him.
"Knock knock knock~"
"Knock knock knock~"
"Knock knock knock~"
After a long while, footsteps finally came from the courtyard, but no one spoke.
Ade could sense the other person at the door and whispered, "It's me, open the door!"
The courtyard gate suddenly opened, revealing a handsome face, who pulled Adela inside.
Then, the man looked around to make sure no one was following him before closing the door.
He bolted the door shut, pulled Ade inside, and only after making sure no one was around did he whisper, "What happened? Did you send people to kill the children?"
Ade was taken aback by the question, "Wasn't it someone you arranged?"
"What did you say? How could I possibly send someone?" The young man didn't frown. "The authorities have been keeping a close watch these past two days. I haven't gone out at all. How could I possibly kill a child? Besides, do I even have the time for that?"
"If it's not you, if it's not me, then who else could it be?" Ade felt a vague unease in his heart.
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" the young man sneered. "Let me tell you, the government is taking this very seriously. If I get arrested, I will definitely not let you off the hook!"
"Also, I've taken care of things, but where's the money? Where's the money you promised me?"
When questioned, Ade remained silent.
He had a bold conjecture in his mind, but he didn't want to admit it, nor did he dare to admit it.
