The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 393 Someone Wanted to Buy My Life

Behind the screen, rustling sounds.After carefully "overhearing" a secret conversation, Chen Xing began to creep towards the door on tiptoe.

He reckoned that Qilan was probably out of danger.After all, that girl can be roughly classified into the category of "beautiful and kind-hearted", not a femme fatale who kills without blinking an eye and treats human life like nothing.

Instead, he would be in trouble immediately.Bai Shu angrily ran downstairs to pick up the sword, how could he let him go easily after picking it up?
He really didn't have to lose money.I rummaged through my pockets all over my body, but there was only a small change.Even if you double the price, you can't buy a jade tassel on the sword.

The ability to do clever calculations is indispensable.Chen Xing had just left the living room and hid behind a large pillar at the end of the corridor on this floor, when he heard familiar shouting and cursing from the stairs.

The sword picker is back.It's just that his sword looks fine, but he looks like a dog in the water.Bai Zhu's body was dripping with water, his hair stuck to his scalp, making his head look even smaller.

He pushed open the door and saw Xiao Jin and Qilan sitting together, and there was no one else in the living room, so he became even more angry.

He walked to the table with heavy steps, and patted the sword in front of Qilan with a "snap": "The surname is Gu, what kind of cronies do you have with you! Treat him with delicious food and drink, and reward me like this!"

The sword was wet, and it looked like it had been fished out of the water.When Chen Xing just opened the window and threw the sword, he specially chose a hot spring pool in the yard that was steaming white.Apart from bothering Bai Zhu and jumping in to take a bath in winter, I really can't find any faults.

Xiao Jin took the teapot and gently poured a cup of warm water, and placed it on his original position: "Mr. Bai, it's just a sword, so don't worry too much about it. Change your clothes quickly to avoid getting sick."

Bai Shu was startled after hearing this.Apart from chatting a few words with his sister and grandfather, Miss Jin had almost nothing to say to him.Usually always a cold, indifferent demeanor.

What's going on today?Are you concerned about him?She would never take the initiative to say these things to him.

The flattered Bai Zhu turned her anger into joy, and drank the tea she had just poured in one gulp.Qilan looked at the back of him happily going out to change clothes, and glanced at Xiao Jin gratefully.

"Miss Jin, thank you for helping my friend out. Just now, he also used this stupid method to send Bai Shu away just to help me."

"Why are you so polite. I'm not as good as you think. Sometimes, I really want to catch you and exchange money."

She didn't talk much, but she was ruthless enough.Qilan, who was drinking tea, almost choked on water into his lungs.

"Someone wants to buy my life?"

"The third wife of the Gu mansion is your 'third mother'. She chose thousands of choices and asked me to carry out the task of capturing you alive. The reward is naturally considerable, and the money I get after the job is enough for me to spend my whole life."

Although she didn't disclose the specific amount, Qilan was really taken aback.In order to catch him, the third wife not only colluded with the gang of bad guys from the police station to hunt him down throughout the city, but also came up with such a vulgar way of killing a beautiful woman.

"I'm not afraid of death and I'm not lustful, haha."

"But you still have people close to you--" Xiao Jin said, "You yourself are not afraid of the third wife, hiding outside. But what about your second brother? He offended this female plague god for you, and ordered me to do it first. He, catch you again."

"You blocked the bullet for my second brother last time, did she send someone to do it?"

"You don't need to ask if you guessed it. Anyway, I have already washed my hands and quit the arena."

After Xiao Jin finished speaking casually, he took a piece of pastry and chewed it slowly.Halfway through eating, I suddenly remembered an important thing.

She put half of the pastry on the table, turned her head and said in a low voice, "You came here today to ask for medicine, right? If you're not in a hurry to go back, why not just rest overnight and come back tomorrow morning."

Obviously there is something in the words.Qilan quickly asked, "Are there any arrangements for tonight?"

"I made an appointment with the second young master last time. We will meet at midnight tonight to discuss how to deal with the third wife. It's almost here, depending on the time."

It turned out that Qijiang was coming.For such a big event, the elder brother actually concealed it from his younger brother and planned to go to the danger alone.Qilan touched her head and smiled helplessly.

Xiao Jin teased him: "Second Young Master, in order to protect your younger brother, he can even take his own life. How lucky to have such a good brother."

Qilan doesn't feel at home in the strange Gu mansion.But Qijiang is his greatest concern for family.He couldn't stand by and watch the second brother fight against the third wife's power.

"Miss Jin, have you and my second brother discovered something suspicious about the third wife?"

"Before I came to the Gu mansion, I worked for Director Qin. Every month I received a new task list. He saw that I was faster and more beautiful than others, so he recommended it to his mistress-" -"

"Third wife?!" Qilan was shocked.Although he couldn't say how satisfied he was with Mr. Gu, a hypocritical bureaucrat, he still became angry when he heard people outside cuckolding his father.

"Yes. There are always a few days every month when she goes out to meet Director Qin privately. The maid Lanzhu she brought was also trained by the killer group. She is three years older than me, and her skills are much lower than mine. But It's more than enough to be a bodyguard."

Just now, she was a pretty girl, and she talked about her past in an old-fashioned tone, which made Qilan feel like laughing but dare not laugh.

It was getting late.The infirmary became more and more quiet.Lin Mi was sleepy and fell asleep with Chris in the room.

When Bai Zhu went back to her room to change clothes, she found that the skin on her entire chest was red in spots.He knew something was wrong, the effect of the hot spring promoted the spread of the poison, so he went straight to his grandfather's room for help.

Old Mr. Bai heard that the children were poisoned by the cartilage powder of the old monster, so he forgot to eat and sleep to prepare the antidote under the lamp.Bai Zhi was as busy as a spinning top, beating his grandfather's back, delivering medicine, and taking time to comfort his emotionally broken brother.

The time has come.The first dose of antidote came out.

Bai Shu watched helplessly as his grandfather poured out a bowl of medicine with a strong aroma from the medicine refining stove.He muttered in amazement: "Why did you throw in so many herbs and only boil out a small bowl? Is my sister and I enough to drink?"

Old Master Bai fetched two small cups and filled them up. "One drink per person. If you drink too much, you will be poisoned."

The brothers and sisters quickly poured down the antidote as instructed.The effect of the medicine hit their heads immediately, and they fell to the ground and fell asleep.Old man Bai let go of his hanging heart, laid out a cushion by himself, and turned on the lamp to rest.

Chen Xing dozed off behind the pillar.He ate and drank enough, and in his dream he was studying for the upcoming final exam.

At this moment, only the living room lights are still on.

Xiao Jin looked out of the dark window.She sighed and took out her handkerchief to wipe her eyes.

Qilan watched silently, thinking: She must be remembering some past events that she could do nothing to make her feel so sad.

Right now, Qi Jiang didn't show up.When the time came, the person who attended the appointment had not yet come.He couldn't bear to see her cry silently, lest being sad would be bad for her health.

"Girl Jin, my brother may need some time on the way. If you are tired, take a rest first, and I will open the door for him."
