Became a vicious male mother

chapter269

A person tied up in the corner.

The where the wooden sticks intersected had already scraped the man's skin, revealing a patch of bright red flesh underneath, the edges of which were dulled by the sand and dust.

His eyes, nearly unconscious, were glazed over as he saw a figure approaching.

He curled up in a ball, with nowhere to retreat behind him.

After waiting for a long time, the stick I had imagined did not come down, and I did not feel any pain.

Instead, I heard that urgent yet gentle voice.

The wooden stick supporting him suddenly loosened, and his jaw instantly relaxed, finally creating space to open his mouth. The sticky stuff in his mouth was full of blood.

The bound person immediately deflated like a punctured balloon.

Gu Xinglan helped loosen the ropes.

The wooden sticks fell sparsely, kicking up a layer of dust as they hit the ground.

Dust billowed up, obscuring the person's face, but Shen Lerong could see the gust of wind rising up. He gritted his teeth, gripped Gu Xinglan's thigh tightly, and almost buried his head between Gu Xinglan's thighs before finally managing to bring the man down.

The two men fell to the ground, raising clouds of dust.

The moment it fell, a flying stick slammed heavily into the pile of garbage inside, scaring the little mice hiding there into scurrying away with squeaks.

"Cough...cough." Gu Xinglan's head hit the ground, and her body and mind ached. The pain was so bad that she almost fainted. She tried to breathe deeply but ended up inhaling a mouthful of dust.

"Boss, they're in cahoots."

"Who is this? I've never seen him before."

"I've never seen this person before, even when they're collecting protection money."

"I don't know, I guess they're new here."

"Give them a beating first."

"..."

A constant chattering sound came from above.

Gu Xinglan felt like she was going blind; she couldn't see anything and could only hold her head in her hands.

"Ye Shang! Do you know you're going to jail?!"

Outside the corner, several people were being beaten and rolling around, and Du Rao's face was covered in bruises.

The other side had more people than them, so who knew a fight would suddenly break out? The other side must have started it!

The words "go to jail" startled the man who was squatting and groping.

Going to jail? As if he had heard the most outrageous joke, Ye Shang burst into laughter.

While laughing so hard he was doubled over, he rummaged through Gu Xinglan's shirt and finally found his wallet hidden in the belt. He said sarcastically, "I'm going to bury you alive today, but I won't go to jail, you understand?"

There was a photo in the wallet's inner pocket.

The child in the photo is squatting in front of a bicycle, with a camera on his back, which is shining in the sunlight.

Ye Shang pulled out a small photo, scoffed coldly, tore it into pieces, and threw it at Gu Xinglan's face.

It has been a long time since I've seen any outsiders in Jiangtong.

A well-dressed man like him wouldn't let those hotheads beat him up; getting money was the priority.

As a result, after carefully searching through his wallet, he only managed to find a few scattered banknotes, not even a single large red bill.

The wallet also contained a key. The front of the key was covered with transparent tape, and the word "room" was written on a piece of white paper inside the tape. The back of the key had the words "Li He Tai" written on it.

Ye Shang paused slightly when his gaze fell on the character "黎".

No one in the town has the surname Li, except for a wealthy family living on the mountain, but that rich man doesn't often come down to town.

A cold sweat broke out on my back.

The person holding the key swallowed hard.

Jiangtong is called a town, but it's actually just a big village. People from the mountains move down here, and then they give it a town name. Does that mean it's no longer a rural area?

Despite being such a poor village, it has roads and even a train station. Not to mention, it has never experienced a power outage, and even when there is a flood, it doesn't stop people from starting to rest the next day.

This place always maintains a low-key and peaceful tranquility, as if supported by some invisible hand.

Is this large hand, like this key, also inscribed with the character "黎" (Li)?

"Boss, the police are here. The lookout said he saw a police officer loitering outside!"

Last time, when the police car was on duty and parked outside the police station, they put nails near the tires.

Due to a shortage of police resources, those people still don't know that they were the ones who did the tampering, and they haven't been able to find a mechanic to repair the only police car.

However, while they might not be afraid of the police, they couldn't be afraid of the people surnamed Li living on this mountain.

We need to hide them first.

A few mischievous teenagers quickly hoisted the person onto their shoulders and ran.

Ye Shang squatted down in front of Gu Xinglan and simply picked him up and carried him on his back.

He was originally a head taller than him, but his weight was actually quite light.

There are many mountains here, and he knows there is a lake leading to a waterfall. As long as the person is unconscious for a long enough time, he can make the person fall off the waterfall without anyone noticing, and then drift downstream to Tianhu Lake. If someone finds out, they will only think it was an accident.

"Where are those kids?!"

I almost forgot about those people, especially Du Rao!

"Take them with you!"

Let them push this person down; that way, everyone will keep it a secret.

"Make sure to bring that kid Du Rao along; I want to see him push things forward personally."

-

It was past midnight, and the sunlight was right overhead, but Gu Xinglan still hadn't arrived.

Li Zhuang scratched his head. Time was running out, and if he didn't leave soon, he would be punished when he went back.

That guy surnamed Gu is at least an adult, so maybe he'll go back first, or maybe he'll be happy in town and won't want to go back.

If the other party doesn't want to leave, then he has to leave.

As the car drove away, Li Zhuang glanced guiltily at the rearview mirror several times.

Can't an adult take care of himself? What's he so anxious about?

After driving for several tens of minutes and climbing a long mountain, once we reached the top and the workers in the yard finished unloading the goods, someone ran over.

"Brother Zhuang, Third Master wants you to come over."

"Third Master?"

Why would the people from the third branch of the family suddenly come looking for a nobody like him...?

Li Zhuang suddenly remembered when he was a child, during the funeral of the mother of the third master of the Li family. He wanted to urinate but got lost. He originally wanted to find a place to relieve himself, but unexpectedly he met the third master in the grass on the mountainside.

Third Master was holding someone at the time. Later he learned that the dead person was dragged out of the coffin by a car. He didn't know which servant had joined Third Master in making a fuss and transported the body out.

In the end, all of them were laid off, and he never saw those servants again.

And then there's Third Master, who became seriously ill in less than two years. Without medicine to keep him alive, he probably should have gone to the Western Paradise four years ago.

While his thoughts were in turmoil, Li Zhuang had already arrived at Third Master's courtyard.

It's so quiet.

When no one is around, it's so quiet it's like a world that doesn't exist.

When the door opened, Li Zhuang tensed up as his gaze fell upon the hunting rifles.

I saw Li Jianbai leaning on a cane, wiping his hunting rifle with a white cloth.

He swallowed hard, cold sweat beading on his forehead, and chuckled awkwardly, "Third Master, what do you want me to do here?"

"Relax, I'll just ask you a few questions."

"Ask me any question, and I will answer to the best of my knowledge."

"Did Gu Xinglan go with you?"

Thinking it was something important, but it turned out to be a question to someone, Li Zhuang quietly glanced at the man not far away.

He was as thin as a sheet of paper, reeked of medicine, and his face was expressionless.

"He said he wanted to go to town to play, and people insisted on asking me to come, so I had to agree. I told him it would be at midnight, but he still hasn't come back."

"Really..." Li Jianbai turned his head and coughed slowly. "I'm short-staffed here lately. Would you like to come and lend a hand?"

"Of course!" Li Zhuang was overjoyed.

The salary here is much higher than what he earned purchasing work at another hospital, and the living conditions are much better!

"Then stay."

Li Jianbai, leaning on his cane, slowly entered the house.
