Chapter 18: Where is My Cousin Going?
"Well, we're risking losing our heads just to ask for money......," annoyed the pock-faced woman.
"Then kill one and let one go. The man with the black mole gritted his teeth and decided, "If you let go of the person, dare to call the police...... Then kill him again!".
"Who to kill now?" Scar Man.
The smile was evident from his eyes like icebergs and snow, as long as the old kidnapper gave the order, he would not hesitate to kill the killer.
The pock-faced woman pointed and smiled, "Kill this woman, how much money can a female branch girl have, and the stupid son of the rich man is worth it." β
"Don't, don't kill the smile, I, my family has money, I'm willing to give you all my money, let us go. Young Master He crawled to their side and begged.
"That's not good, let you go, you should go and report the crime, you can only release one and kill one. The man with the black mole said with determination in panic.
Young Master He gritted his teeth and said with a pale face, "Let go of the smile, I can't let my beloved woman die for me." β
Xiaoyi was extremely scared in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak out at the moment, he just hoped that they could really let him go according to Young Master He's request.
"That's not going to work, we're going to have to kill her, and keep you to get the money. β
Seeing the black mole man signaling to the scar man, Xiao Yi couldn't hold back his fear anymore, and screamed uncontrollably, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, Queqiao Building has money, and you can give it to you as many houses as you want." β
smiled and didn't look at Young Master He's eyes looking at her, his teeth chattered, "This man, this man, he owes a lot of debt, even if you let him go, you won't get the money." β
"Smile ......," Young Master He muttered in disbelief.
At the moment of life and death, the smile couldn't even care about Fu Linyuan's promises, wealth and fame, let alone Young Master He who was bullied in the past!
"Don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame you for being stupid, smoking a lot of cigarettes and costing your family's property. You can't let me die with you!"
In order to cling to the only way to live, the smile tore off the gentle face of the past, and the face was full of fear and hideousness!
"We said that we would meet Bai Shou and share life and death ......", Young Master He looked at the smile like a madwoman, and his expression was shattered.
"You believe this kind of lie, you deserve to be deceived by me!"
"Well, you lied to me, but I can't lie to myself," he closed his eyes weakly, "I used to have feelings for you that were true, and I am incapable of letting a woman die for me in order to live." β
"Big brother, does this kid have a hole in his brain?
"How can anyone not want to die? This kid must be playing tricks, we are going to kill this young lady and let him go." The man with the black mole said firmly.
"Don't, he smokes a lot, he owes a lot of money outside, and he's about to go bankrupt, and you won't get any money if you let him go. Let me go, I'm the head of Queqiao Tower, if you ask your mother for 100,000 oceans, she will definitely give it to you."
The scarred man struggled back and screamed as he saw that he was about to grab her, and that scream pierced the heart more than the rooster crow under the butcher's knife.
Young Master He saw that the lover who was grinding with his ears and temples on weekdays now wanted others to kill him so much, and he didn't care about the friendship of the past.
"Smile, do you really, no, not have a trace of affection for me?" Young Master He still had a little bit of hope.
Perhaps, maybe she's just afraid of death like many ordinary women, and it's not that she doesn't care about herself.
"You idiot, who has feelings for you, I'm just teasing you, if I really like you, how can I make you addicted?"
What power, wealth, trading schemes, everything is insignificant in the face of life, and the smile is sneering unabashedly at this moment.
"It turns out that I am such a fool, I owe a huge debt for you......" All the sweet moments in the past were shattered, and the trust of hope was ruthlessly torn apart, Young Master He was completely bloodless, and lowered his head in despair.
"Kill me, if I die, there will be no one to collect debts from my father, and without my unfilial son, at least my father still has a shop. It's just that I want my dad to send a white-haired man to a black-haired man. Young Master He said in a low voice.
"Are the two of them acting, and want us to let the man go? The woman really has no feelings for the man?"
"It's not acting, how can I like this cowardly and stupid man, I approached her at the beginning just because I wanted his shop!"
Xiaoyi completely left everything else behind at this moment, just wanted to live, desperately shouted the truth, for fear that they would not believe in themselves and take their own lives the next moment.
"Didn't you just say that his shop is worthless?" Scar Man said coldly.
"His shop is not valuable, but his shop is the favorite place for Fu Huaiyi, the young overseer of the Wei family, so it is worth ten thousand gold in the eyes of those who care, and someone will do whatever it takes to get this shop!" said with a smile.
The full cause and effect had been exposed to everyone, but out of last vigilance, she still hadn't said who was behind the instructions to do so.
Fortunately, the three of them didn't seem to intend to ask the people behind the scenes, but were silent for a long time with a slightly embarrassed expression.
"In that case, let the woman be held in solitary confinement and let her write a letter to raise a ransom. The man dealt with it. Scar Man finally decided.
Laughing finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that they would not kill him, collapsed and collapsed to the ground, and then he was continued to gagged and taken to another room.
And Young Master He, when he saw the smile being dragged away, he closed his eyes and waited for the kidnapper to end his life.
But he didn't want the three kidnappers to kill him, although he was still tied up, they would bring food during the meal, loosen the rope and let him eat.
That night, he had a fever in a daze, and in a half-asleep dream, he felt that someone was feeding him medicine.
In the second half of the night, he was addicted to drugs again, and he was bound to the bed to endure the familiar gnawing of ants, and he could vaguely see the moonlight leaking through the cracks outside the window.
The past of his life came to his heart like a tide, it turned out that everything was deception, and he spent a lot of money and gave her jewelry in order to make her laugh.
Even, she tricked him into smoking a big cigarette on the grounds that she wanted to enjoy the ultimate pleasure with herself, but he didn't complain about her at all.
But she approached him purposefully from the end to the end, all of which were hypocritical!
Thinking about the past, thinking of his father's persuasion and heartache for him, shame and guilt welled up in his heart at the same time.
All the emotions were like boiling oil in a hot pot to fry his mind, mixed with physical torture, just like every second, painful and desperate, and even could only hope for death to come!
The second, third, and fourth days, every day he spent like this, but his food was getting better and better, and sometimes he was forced to drink a certain medicine, and the kidnappers still didn't say anything, but he sensed that the other party didn't seem to want to kill him.
He even unknowingly borrowed a drug addiction because he didn't have a big cigarette?!
It wasn't until much, much later that he realized what happened today's kidnapping, and it changed his life in the swamp.
####
However, it was said that after the pock-faced woman, the scar man, and the black mole man separated Xiao Yi from Young Master He that day, the three of them returned to the other main house.
The pock-faced woman took the towel on the shelf and took the special potion, wiping her sallow face little by little.
After wiping it, a face of snow and frost was reflected in the basin, with red lips, a small and stubborn nose, and a pair of lake-like eyes that were unique to Chengxue.
"Miss, Qiulan's hands are so skillful, the pockmarks on your face just now are the same as the real ones. Shopkeeper Kong pulled the black mole on his face as he inhaled.
Cheng Xue nodded in agreement, and then turned to the scar man: "Chu Feiyan, can you speak with a little emotion?" Although the words are all thought out by everyone in advance, your language and expression have no ups and downs, this clumsy acting skills really makes people can't stand it!"
Chu Feiyan was also unloading the scar, and when he heard this, he helplessly defended: "Miss, I am a guard, and it is my duty to protect your safety, but it is too difficult for me to cooperate with you in acting." β
"Okay, even if you have worked hard, I believe that my bet with Boss He has been won and not lost. Cheng Xue Yingying smiled.
"It's not hard, it's the young lady's wisdom!" shopkeeper Kong arched his hand.
They have no experience and pretend that the kidnappers will inevitably show their feet, so it is better to pretend to be the first kidnapper to kidnap the stupid and ignorant kidnappers from the beginning, as the young lady said.
A trembling knife like an executioner who has never killed a man is more frightening to a condemned prisoner, and a kidnapper who cares for his life because of his stupidity is even more terrifying.
Really smiling and under fear and fear, she said her intentions unabashedly, she was a purposeful deception to Young Master He from the beginning.
"Miss, I really didn't expect that although Young Master He was a little stupid, he was a man with affection and righteousness," Chu Feiyan sighed.
"yes, it was unexpected. Cheng Xue was still smiling at Yan Yan, but at this moment, her expression suddenly became sarcastic.
A man who is seduced and addicted to drugs still has to sacrifice his life to protect the woman he loves, and her beloved does not hesitate to betray her for the sake of power.
Seeing that her expression was a little uneasy, Shopkeeper Kong changed the topic: "Miss, what should I do next?"
"Give Xiaoyi a chance to run away in two days, let her go, and then take Young Master He and that little girl away in another place, pay attention to Young Master He's physical reaction during drug rehabilitation in the past two days", Cheng Xue reined in and commanded.
"No, let the doctor take a look while he is unconscious, and let Qiulan boil some medicine for him to drink, although Shopkeeper He said that he doesn't mind his son suffering a little in order to detoxify, but I don't want Young Master He to collapse his body. Always let Boss He willingly transfer Su Jinzhai to me. β
Dongxia heard that Miss asked Qiulan to come, and she was a little reluctant in her heart, but seeing that Miss had made up her mind, she could only nod yes.
After thinking for a moment, Cheng Xue said again, "As for the little girl who continues to lock her up alone, take good care of her, you all have to put on makeup when you see her, and she won't recognize you when you remove your makeup, wait for Young Master He to finish her drug addiction, ask her if she is willing to go back to Queqiao Tower or go back to her hometown in the countryside, just give her money to seal her mouth as she likes." β
Dong Xia felt that Miss was a bit too much, but she was a little girl and treated it so carefully.
But the shopkeeper Kong was happy in his heart, and felt that the young lady was not only clever and scheming, but also thoughtful and kind-hearted.

After this incident, the shopkeeper He saw that his son He Ping'an gradually borrowed drug addiction, and he willingly sold Su Jinzhai to Chengxue.
However, Shopkeeper He is still the shopkeeper, but there is an owner Lu Chengxue on it.
Today is the long-awaited third day of the new year, Chengxue feels very good when she gets up early in the morning, it seems that the sky is extraordinarily blue, the air is extraordinarily sweet, and even the hawkers on Sujinzhai Road have become amiable.
In order to win the favor of the young overseer Fu Huaiyi, and expand the business territory of Sijin Ji to England, tens of thousands of oceans were spent.
The front of Su Jin Zhai is the lobby, and there is a small courtyard behind it, with five private rooms. She specially asked people to put a few pots of lotus flowers in the courtyard, and the red lanterns in the courtyard were replaced by orange and hazy rabbit lanterns, which were very funny, and even the fragrance was changed to Buddhist incense.
"Miss, why did you pretend to be like this?" Dongxia looked at Cheng Xue who was softly humming Jiangnan tunes and was puzzled, after the renovation, Su Jinzhai's backyard was not like a restaurant but like a temple.
"The dishes are all vegetarian, and most of the regular customers are middle-aged people in their 40s and 50s. The young Fu Huaiyi likes Su Jinzhai very much, why?"
Cheng Xue didn't answer the rhetorical question, and then motioned to the chef next to her to add a little more salt to the konjac roasted bamboo shoots.
After thinking about it for a long time in winter and summer, Fu Huaiyi's mother died early, and in the first few years of his death, he did not ask about the world and meditated on the Buddha.
Winter and summer blessings to the soul: "Is it to pay tribute to his mother?".
Cheng Xue pointed at the chef briskly, and gave a smiling and clear look when she heard Dong Xia's words.
"But, wouldn't that be too deliberate?"
"It doesn't matter, the superior is always more tolerant of the flattery of the people below, as long as he gives him what he likes. Cheng Xue once again confirmed to Shopkeeper He that today, the Young Governor Fu Huaiyi and his friends had dinner in the Luoying Pavilion in the private room.
Looking at the dishes prepared in front of him, six hot teas, two cold dishes, and one soup dish, one of which is a cold dish and one hot dish are new dishes created by Cheng Xue and the chef according to his past tastes, and it is a good opening to try dishes as a topic.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. Cheng Xue motioned to Shopkeeper He to send the six dishes they had ordered by Fu Huaiyi first.
When Shopkeeper He came back, she took off her apron, cleaned up her makeup, personally served the remaining two dishes, and walked towards Luoying Pavilion with a gentle and sincere smile.
Take a deep breath, knock lightly, and push the door in.
"......" sat on the man's familiar starry eyebrows and sword eyes, and his aura was as high as winter thunder, smashing on her excited heart.
The deported man who was sent to the police station by her?!Cousin Lin Yi?!
Cheng Xue smiled calmly and quickly turned around and went out, only to feel that the sun was still hanging high in the sky just now, and in a blink of an eye, it was shrouded in dark clouds.
What the hell in the day?!
She must have entered the wrong door!!
Glancing at the big word Luoying at the door, Cheng Xue's hands trembled slightly, and the bowls and spoons on the tray jingled.
Is it a day to think, a night, a night to dream?!
Sheβthe wrong way she opened the door?!
Cheng Xue's heart had collapsed like a mudslide, and her fragile hand gently touched the door, constantly doing psychological construction.
Pluck up the courage to push the door open again!
The man sitting on the main seat seemed to be smiling like a cracked stump, and it was clearly his cousin "Lin Yi"!
His smug expression was no better than that of the old farmer who was waiting for the rabbit!
At this moment, Lu, Rabbit, and Chengxue couldn't hide the tears in their hearts.
Thinking of his bad attitude towards him in the past and being framed in the pit, he couldn't help but silently turn around and leave with the tray.
There seems to be a piece of tofu left in the kitchen just now, I don't know if it's big enough to kill myself?!
Zhao Shengang followed Fu Huaiyi to meet the heroine of the scandal today, and when he saw the various reactions of the woman who pushed the door in, he felt that he had framed Yan Bo's nerd to patrol the camp in vain, in exchange for today's wonderful scene.
Cheng Xue's incredible, frightened, annoyed, and regretful expressions gathered on her face in an instant made Fu Huaiyi, who was waiting for the rabbit, feel that the patient wait for the past few days was very worthwhile.
Seeing that Chengxue was about to flee again, Fu Huaiyi put down the chopsticks in his hand and raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Cousin, where are you going?"
