I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 876 No "Savior"

After the madam's slightly mocking voice, the guest room fell into a dead silence.

Gu Pan'er stared blankly, with unbelievable panic written all over her face.

She obviously put all the banknotes in this box, how could they disappear now?
Five thousand taels of silver, this is all the money Gu Pan'er has saved over the years, and it is also all her hopes.

If it was gone, she didn't know how long it would take before she could save enough money to redeem herself again.

Maybe three years, maybe five years, maybe ten years.

Or maybe it's impossible in this life.

"Mom, Mom, my silver has been stolen."

"I'm going to report to the police right now, and I'll send you the money after I catch the thief"

Turning back with a pale face, Gu Pan'er forced himself to calm down.

While talking, she pulled out a silver hairpin from her hair, tremblingly stuffed it into the middle-aged woman's hand.

"Please, trouble you to beg for mercy in front of the master, and give me a few more days."

"I will definitely get the silver back, never."

"I'm sure I can get it back?"

With a sneer, he shook off the silver hairpin, and the bustard interrupted disdainfully before Gu Pan'er finished speaking:
"Even if the government doesn't dare to assert that the thief will be found, how can you say that?"

"Furthermore, the city has already been disturbed by Wei Yanluo, and the government may not have the time to take care of such trivial matters as you."

"Gu Pan'er, I have no grievances or enmities with you, so I am not making things difficult for you now."

"It's just that since you want to redeem yourself, you have to pay for it."

"As for whether your money was lost or stolen, or given to a lover, I don't care about it."

"Anyway, if you can't get the money, then tomorrow, I'm afraid you will have to follow me to Yichun Courtyard tonight."

"."

Not only did she not have the slightest sympathy, but she even sent Gu Pan'er to Yichun Court immediately.

The old bustard was obviously afraid that something like this would happen, and Gu Pan'er would run away tonight, so he wanted to send him away early to avoid any accidents.

The change of face from being kind and kind to the cold-blooded and ruthless bustard is not unpleasant. It can be said that when Gu Pan'er's money was stolen, his attitude immediately took a [-]-degree turn.

But this can't blame her for being cruel.

After all, who knew that Gu Pan'er was really stolen?Or don't have so much money at all, how about acting here?

Even if it is really stolen, will the money be recovered?

Not to mention that Linchuan City is in chaos today, and the government has no time to deal with ordinary cases.

Even if the government really accepts the case, it may not necessarily be able to find the thief and recover the silver.

So what should we do then?
Five thousand taels is not a small amount, so the bustard naturally didn't want to take the responsibility for Gu Pan'er, so seeing the latter biting his lips and keeping silent, he winked at the two men who came along with him.

"."

Standing up slowly, the two strong men walked behind the bustard with no expression on their faces, and they probably would forcefully take them away just after Gu Pan'er said half of the word "no".

Undoubtedly, facing two professional thugs, Gu Pan'er was powerless to resist.

Or she had no reason to resist at all.

She is not free, as long as her "master" does not want to kill her, no matter what he does, he will not violate the law.

Therefore, it seems that Gu Pan'er can only accept his fate now.

But deep down in her heart, she was really unwilling
It was hard to save enough money to redeem the body, and it was still there before having dinner with Wei Changtian at noon, but now it is lost.

Obviously, he could escape from Goulan Wasi immediately and live a life of ordinary people, but now he has to return to that place without dignity.

When all illusions are shattered just before they are about to come true, one can imagine how desperate Gu Pan'er is now.

If it was the routine of the previous life's web articles, she would most likely beg hard, and then the old bustard would be unmoved, and might even beat and scold her.

Then, Wei Changtian would appear as a "savior", throwing out a [-] tael silver note, or simply killing the three old bustards, and finally left gracefully amidst Gu Pan'er's tears of gratitude.

Unfortunately, the development of things is not the case.

Even though Gu Pan'er was really looking forward to all this happening deep in his heart, there was still no movement in the next room.

Therefore, in the end, she could only lower her head slightly, and whispered in a low voice:

"I see, mom let me pack up."

".it is good."

Seeing that Gu Pan'er did not resist, the old bustard's tone softened a little.

She waved at the two men, and the three of them went back to the table and sat down, watching Gu Pan'er slowly packing their luggage, still vigilantly.

A few pieces of clothes, a box of ordinary jewelry, and some makeup. Gu Pan'er's belongings are not many, and for the first time there is a look of pity in the eyes of the old bustard.

As the "manager" who used to be Manxianglou, she couldn't understand how much money Gu Pan'er could make.

What's more, there are gold and silver jewelry that guests usually reward.

Now that these jewelry are gone, it is obvious that Gu Pan'er sold them all to raise money for the ransom.

But now.
"Ugh"

Sighing lightly, the old bustard couldn't bear to look at the distraught Gu Pan'er any more.

She didn't speak, but bent down to pick up the silver hairpin she had just thrown away from the ground, and silently stuffed it into Gu Pan'er's small bag.

The latter was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said softly:

"Mom, I packed up, let's go"

"it is good"

"Squeak~"

Blow out the candles and open the door, it's already night.

Standing outside the door, Gu Pan'er subconsciously glanced at the room next to it which was still lit, his eyes struggled for a moment.

Now she has another choice, which is to knock on Wei Changtian's door and ask him to help her.

After all, Wei Changtian said at lunch that if money is not enough, he can help himself.

Gu Pan'er knew that for a big man like Wei Changtian, five thousand taels was by no means a big number, if he asked, the latter would probably help.

But after hesitating for a moment, she still didn't do it.

Gu Pan'er is not thin-skinned.

She was just afraid of causing trouble to Wei Changtian.

Although he didn't know why Wei Changtian lived in this small inn, Gu Pan'er could guess that the latter was actually hiding here.

So if he asks Wei Changtian to "borrow money" now, no matter whether Wei Changtian borrows it or not, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the three old bustards, and maybe Wei Changtian's identity will be exposed.

Therefore, Gu Pan'er did not knock on the door that might be the last chance to change her own destiny.
"Pan'er, let's go."

Beside her, the bustard saw that Gu Pan'er suddenly stood still, thinking she was still unwilling, so she whispered:
"I'll ask the clerk in the store first, and I'll report to the official with you tomorrow."

"Don't be too sad. If the thief can be found, the money may be recovered."

".Thank you, Mom."

Nodding slowly, Gu Pan'er stopped looking at the door, but just thanked him softly.

Not long after, a carriage left the inn and quickly disappeared into the night.

The moonlight is like water, and the sky is full of stars.
