Chapter 46: First Murder
Of course, Qian Cong placed the order through the overseas dark web, with the goal of monitoring and tracking Zhao Xiaofei. These were two Asian men, one named Jack and the other Huang Qi. They had been guarding here for more than ten days, and Jack kept complaining, "Who is this guy? Even the fat otakus in the island countries can't stay at home like him."
"Don't complain! This is work. Our job now is surveillance," Huang Qi said calmly. He really didn't want to work with this guy. Jack had a short temper. Perhaps it was menopause, his temper had changed drastically. The two of them had worked together for many years and never failed. However, in recent years, Jack's temper had nearly caused several missions to fail. So he petitioned the organization to replace Jack. But the organization demanded that Jack be replaced after this mission.
"That guy is out! I'll go to the yard and take a look!" Jack put down the telescope and planned to go to Zhao Xiaofei's yard to investigate.
"Don't go! You'll be exposed!" Huang Qi said anxiously. He wanted to stop Jack.
But Jack still did his own thing and rushed down the stairs. He was as fast as a monkey and quickly ran into the alley. He came to the door of Zhao Xiaofei's house, gently used a piece of wire in his hand to knock it twice and went in.
Zhao Xiaofei simply went out to buy a bag of brown sugar and a bottle of Coke. Li Sihong had her period today, and the stomachache was so severe she was confined to the bed. He planned to nourish her with brown sugar water and soothe her pain with ginger ale and cola. Actually, Zhao Xiaofei wanted to see the blood clots on Li Sihong's sanitary napkin to determine what medication to take. If there was inflammation, he could give her some amoxicillin, an antibiotic.
But Li Sihong would never let her husband look at the sanitary napkin she had thrown away. She cried and said, "If my husband goes to look for it, I might as well kill myself."
"Okay! I'll listen to you! I just feel sorry for you!"
"I know, but women's things are so dirty. I'm afraid my husband will be in trouble if he touches them!" Li Sihong said with a blush. She had never thought that her husband also knew about gynecology. This was too embarrassing. Her husband knew everything about women's private parts and took better care of her than she did.
"Wait a moment, I'll go to Taixu Fairyland to get some medicine for you." Zhao Xiaofei said and traveled back.
After buying cola and brown sugar, Zhao Xiaofei bought some Fenbid, intending to give Li Sihong pain relief. This shopping spree was endless. He decided to give Li Sihong some vitamins, so he bought another bottle of Centrum. Thinking the princess was still young and needed calcium, he bought her another bottle of calcium. Then, fearing he might have kidney deficiency, he bought maca tablets and Liuwei Dihuang Wan. All this shopping gave Jack time to search the house.
The room contained only a few simple pieces of furniture: a bed, a desk, and a bookcase. There were also several large, antique chests in the yard. Jack was about to take a look when the door rang. He tried to rush out, but it was too late. He had no choice but to open the chests and, if they were empty, jump in. Sure enough, although there were a few pieces of body armor inside, there was still enough space for him. He jumped in without hesitation.
At the same moment Jack jumped in, Zhao Xiaofei also entered the yard. Zhao Xiaofei didn't notice anything unusual. He looked at the boxes in the yard, wondering if he should wait for the next batch of goods to arrive and take them with him. These bulletproof vests were for when he and his wives fled the capital. After thinking about it, he decided to take them back and let Li Sihong try them out first. He wanted to see if she found them heavy and if she could adapt to them.
So he took all the boxes with him and traveled back. As soon as Zhao Xiaofei came back, he called Jinbao. He opened the Coke and said to Jinbao, "Boil this bottle of medicine with the ginger slices and send it to Miss Li's upstairs."
"Yes!" Jinbao took the Coke and went to the kitchen. Zhao Xiaofei found that Jinbao was the most strict among the palace maids, so now that Xiao Si was not around, he asked Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu to bring Jinbao with him to Yanyu Tower.
Jinbao had long known that Miss Li was deeply loved by the Prince Consort, but she never said anything. In the past, Cailian, the maid now called Zhaocai, would talk to Jinbao about Miss Li, saying that the Prince Consort liked Miss Li and would definitely take her as his concubine.
Jinbao told her not to talk nonsense, fearing she might lose her job and even her life. Zhaocai then dared not say anything. Xiao Si learned of this and told Zhao Xiaofei, who then took extra care of Jinbao. He told Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu to take her with him wherever he went.
Jinbao agreed to make some ginger cola, and Zhao Xiaofei went upstairs with some brown sugar and brewed a cup of brown sugar water for Li Sihong. After drinking the hot brown sugar water, Li Sihong felt much better. A moment later, Jinbao brought the cooked ginger cola upstairs again, and Zhao Xiaofei fed Li Sihong another large bowl.
Li Sihong's stomach was bloated and she felt like she couldn't even walk. Zhao Xiaofei was about to give Li Sihong another bowl of medicine, but she said, "Husband! You can't drink any more. This medicine is so strange. After drinking it, I feel like my stomach is full of gas and it's bloated."
Zhao Xiaofei thought to himself, this is what Jiang Xiaomei did when she had a stomachache before. I must be right if I follow the prescription! So he asked, "How is it? Is your stomach still hurting?"
"The pain has gone away a long time ago. This medicine is too sweet! It makes my mouth a little greasy!" said Li Sihong.
"I'll brush your teeth and tongue." So Zhao Xiaofei went to get the toothpaste, squeezed some toothpaste for Li Sihong, helped her up, and prepared to brush her teeth.
"My dear, I can do it myself. I'm not a child anymore," Li Sihong said. The princess was a child, so she could be taken care of like this. But how old was she? She couldn't stand such care.
"Okay! Do it yourself!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
