Chapter 422: Chapter 422

Wan Chu’er smiled and lowered her head, "Did you hear all that? Don’t you think I’m too cruel?"

After hearing what she said, a hint of sadness flashed in Yan Hui’s eyes, but he smiled, "You are perfect in my eyes."

Unexpectedly hearing these words, Wan Chu’er felt somewhat embarrassed. It was superfluous for her to ask!

Yan Hui said, "If you wanted to take care of her, just a word from you would suffice, why dirty your own hands. Besides, your methods are too gentle, it could bring you trouble."

The girl before him, was inherently kind and simplistic.

Wan Chu’er blinked and humbly asked, "What do you mean?" She felt that taking action herself would be more satisfying, but it would be problematic if it actually caused trouble.

Yan Hui gently said, "The blackmail letter you sent was intercepted by the old master."

"What?!" Wan Chu’er was stunned and blurted out, "Why?"

Then she exclaimed, "Are you watching me?!"

When she saw the smile on Yan Hui’s face, she deflated and said, "Do you guys really not trust me that much? Did the old master send you to find me?"

Yan Hui looked at her tenderly, then shifted his gaze elsewhere, "Previously, the old master trained you to join the Special Action Department, but then he stopped mentioning it because he found you couldn’t be ruthless. If you actually went on a mission, you would likely lose your life because of this."

"So he has never been at ease about you. With such a big incident involving Thunder and Hailang, how could the old master not intervene?

The things you did before were passable, but that blackmail letter, you were somewhat careless. Have you thought about the consequences it could bring after being sent?"

Wan Chu’er pursed her lips, not saying anything but felt somewhat uneasy.

Yan Hui slowly said, "The ones receiving the letter this time are not ordinary people like Zhuo Yao, but businessmen who dared to evade taxes by millions and corrupted officials. They could easily trace the letter back to you, even though Zhuo Yao can’t escape, you will also get into trouble."

Wan Chu’er hung her head, she was lucky, she truly wasn’t ruthless enough, so she wanted to use those people to make Zhuo Yao fall into irreparable disaster.

"Old master said to stop meddling in Zhuo Yao’s affairs. If you want revenge, I will take care of it for you, ensuring she disappears from your sight," Yan Hui spoke as if discussing a trivial matter.

Wan Chu’er secretly sighed, "Causing you all to worry for me again."

"Don’t say such things anymore," Yan Hui gently said.

Wan Chu’er nodded her head.

A few days later, Zhuo Yao had completely disappeared from Beijing. According to Jiang Lingling and Jiang Xiaoxiao, Jiang Kefei now also quit his job, wandering around the streets of Beijing every day looking for Zhuo Yao, Second Aunt Jiang couldn’t control him at all, but Jiang Kefei couldn’t find any trace of Zhuo Yao.

Wan Chu’er couldn’t help but ask the old master about Zhuo Yao’s whereabouts.

The old master indifferently said, "Xiao Jinlin sold her deep into the mountains."

Xiao Jinlin is Zhuo Yao’s ex-boyfriend’s father, the businessman involved in tax evasion and bribery.

Wan Chu’er thought for a long moment, then said, "Did you guys go find Mr. Xiao? Did he surrender to Brother Yan Hui?"

Otherwise, how would Xiao Jinlin dare to target Zhuo Yao, it must be that he knew what Zhuo Yao had done, the last blackmail letter to Xiao Jinlin I sent was intercepted, so it must be that Yan Hui blatantly approached Xiao Jinlin.

The old master hummed noncommittally, "Hurry up and prepare for the children’s birthdays with Mao Xiaoyu, after the birthday go to Northwest to find Jiang Kechu."

Wan Chu’er pursed her lips, finally asking, "What about Zheng Yun, did you guys also take action?"

Last time because of her kidnapping, Zheng Yun’s leg was broken, and when she looked up Zheng Yun, she found his situation was very bad, Aunt Zheng had gone out to work as a maid to earn money.

She casually knocked Zheng Yun unconscious and shaved her bald to give her a fright.

Needless to say, in the eyes of the old man and the others, her actions were certainly just a prank, not harsh enough.

The old man, while reading, remarked, "Zheng Yun’s father’s hometown has a betrothed fiancé, and Zheng Yun has gone back to get married."

Alright then, she’s just a kind little kitten!

Wan Chu’er, with lips tightly sealed, left the old man’s study and headed straight to her room to reflect.

On the way, she bumped into Mao Xiaoyu, who had removed her bandages and was holding a bunch of flowers with a flushed face.

Needless to say, those flowers must’ve been from Lishan.

Mao Xiaoyu stayed in the hospital for ten days, and during those days, Lishan must’ve pulled some tricks, because after leaving the hospital, the two of them seemed off, occasionally blushing and getting shy.

Lishan, foolishly, was either giving flowers or grass or tumbling to make Xiaoyu laugh.

She felt like she was watching two primary school students in a relationship.

"Sister-in-law, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you happy?" Mao Xiaoyu, attentive, noticed Wan Chu’er’s unhappy expression and asked with concern.

Wan Chu’er glanced at the ugly bunch of flowers in her hand and secretly criticized: Brother Lishan’s taste is really hard to describe. Unfortunately, Mao Xiaoyu caught Wan Chu’er’s gaze towards the flowers in her hand and couldn’t help but get shy again.

Wan Chu’er quickly diverted her attention: "Xiaoyu, I have a question for you."

"Sister-in-law, ask."

"Do you think I’m ruthless?" she asked.

Mao Xiaoyu, puzzled by why Wan Chu’er would ask such a question, paused for a second before shaking her head vigorously.

"Sister-in-law, you are a good person..."

Wan Chu’er immediately turned around and walked away, asking this simple girl was a mistake.

Leaving Mao Xiaoyu standing there, stunned. What did she say? Did she upset Wan Chu’er?

Still unsure, Mao Xiaoyu quickly followed her, but as she turned the corner, she ran straight into Lishan’s arms and he held her.

Lishan grinned silently and hugged her tightly.

"Let go, Brother Lishan, let go..." Mao Xiaoyu urged anxiously, as it was embarrassing to be seen in broad daylight.

Reluctantly, Lishan let go of her and asked, "Why the rush? You should watch where you’re going; what if you’d run into someone else’s arms!" ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novelꞁire.net

But then he thought, after all, there are only a few people coming and going in this old mansion, and with him around, Xiaoyu definitely wouldn’t bump into someone else; not watching her step was kind of cute.

Lowering her head, Mao Xiaoyu repeated what happened with Wan Chu’er, and then asked, "Did I make sister-in-law upset? I’ll go check."

Lishan responded, "She’s not upset because of you; leave her be."

Mao Xiaoyu blinked, "How can you say that! Sister-in-law has been so kind to me, how can I ignore her."

Lishan had no choice but to make up an excuse: "She’s upset because she botched something, it has nothing to do with you."

"Oh, is that so?" Mao Xiaoyu was half-convinced but Lishan pulled her under a tree, "Let me check if you hurt yourself from the bump; your head just healed, I’d be heartbroken if it got hurt again."
