Chapter 122 Run away with the money

Ahua finally changed her dull expression, her nose turned red, she sat on the bed and crossed her legs, buried her face between her knees, and cried bitterly.

"Thank you...Thank you for saving me, but my family doesn't want me anymore. I don't know what I will do in the future. Can I follow you?"

She raised her face, which was full of tears, and looked at Su Nanxing with pitiful eyes.

Seeing that the other party did not answer immediately.

She added: "I can go out to work and give you all the money. I can also help with cleaning and cooking at home. I can do everything! Don't leave me behind, okay..."

In fact, Su Nanxing didn't really want to take an unfamiliar woman home.

The most she could do was take Ahua to find a job, and then help rent a small yard nearby so that he could be self-reliant, but she didn't expect that he would want to follow her so much.

"you……"

Su Nanxing saw that Ahua was about to cry again.

In the end, I didn’t refuse cruelly.

Maybe Ahua has been imprisoned by the shopkeeper for too long and needs to be with someone too much.

"Okay, I'll take you home tomorrow. I don't need you to go out to work to make money. Just clean the yard."

Ahua, with her face full of tears, spread out a heart-stirring smile, "Thank you, Sister Jiang Li."

Su Nanxing sighed silently.

Ahua is indeed good-looking, but she is miserable. She does not have a powerful father's family to protect her, and even sends her into a pit of fire with her own hands.

Su Nanxing said: "You have a good rest, and after you have eaten, come home with me tomorrow."

"Yes!"

Ahua's face showed uncontrollable joy.

When Su Nanxing walked back to his room, he saw Gu Huaishu sitting at the tea table.

She walked into the room and closed the door, "Huai Shu, why don't you go to sleep?"

"I want to wait for my wife and sleep together."

"Okay, then I'm back now, go to bed quickly!"

Su Nanxing took off his coat and lay down on the bed.

Needless to say, the rooms in Dongfu Inn are really nice. It’s also a snowy day, and the quilts in this inn are all warm.

Gu Huaishu followed and lay down, "Madam - I want to hold you to sleep."

"Good good."

Su Nanxing was held in Gu Huaishu's arms and suddenly felt much warmer, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

-

Over there at Daofeng Inn.

The shopkeeper was rescued by several waiters. He cursed and covered the wound on his head, "That boy, you are so tired! You dare to hit me! Where are the others? Catch them!"

Several people looked strange, "Lao Er, aren't Lao Ba also unconscious in the room?"

The shopkeeper was stunned, "What do you mean?"

He got up from the chair behind the counter and rushed to Lao Ba's room. He saw him lying on the bed with a gray face and an obvious strangulation mark on his neck.

Lao Ba is stunned here. Who was the person who just hit him?

He suddenly thought of something, ran out of the room again, and went deep into the corridor.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what the second brother was going to do, so they could only follow him.

But when they arrived at the room where they were staying, the shopkeeper stopped everyone.

"Everyone is standing outside!"

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the lock on the room was in good condition, but he was still worried and planned to go and see for himself.

He took out the key and opened the room.

Everything was fine, just as it was when he left the room in the morning, and he felt more relaxed.

But he did not put away his suspicion. He closed the door and asked others to wait outside the house. He walked forward, pushed the heavy cabinet away, took the oil lamp from the wall, lit it, and walked down skillfully.

Before he could go all the way, his face darkened again. In the past, there would be the sound of chains when he came down, but why wasn't there today? !

After quickening his pace, he was shocked to see the empty darkroom. Where was his captive pet?

Why did he disappear out of thin air?

Soon, he had even worse thoughts.

He rushed forward and moved the bed board, picked up a shovel and started digging.

"Shouldn't...shouldn't be! How is this possible!"

The more he dug, the more he collapsed. It wasn't until the shovel hit something hard that his expression softened.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay..."

He stretched out his hand to brush away the dust covering the box. When he saw an unfamiliar box again, the shopkeeper's expression was completely unbearable. He sat down in the dark room, his face pale.

"I'm dead, the money is gone! How should I explain to Boss Zhu?!"

"How about running away..."

"That lunatic Boss Zhu will never let me go..."

He knew that the money was not stolen by the brothers, and it was definitely not stolen by the pet. Only Boss Zhu knew when the money was hidden.

His brother didn't even know there was a darkroom in his room.

Who could have stolen it?

The two people who came to the inn recently were the two people this morning. Could it be them?

The shopkeeper calmly walked out of the darkroom. After restoring the cabinet, he went out and asked, "Where are the two people staying in the inn?"

"Run...Run."

"Didn't catch it?"

"No, they just disappeared out of thin air and can't be found anywhere."

The shopkeeper cursed: "Trash."

Another tall and thin man said: "By the way, I heard someone shouting in the house, so I ran out to take a look, and then I saw a person who looked very much like Lao Ba.

I ran out of the inn with a very beautiful woman. Later, I chased them to a dead end, and those two people disappeared. "

The shopkeeper turned his eyes and stared at him, "Lao San, is everything you said true?"

"Really, dick, why did I lie to you?"

The shopkeeper looked very unhappy. Could it be that the boss had offended someone? Was the hidden money stolen?

But they did it so secretly, there were only two people present when collecting the money, and he was the only one when hiding the money.

How did the thief know where the money was hidden?

Thinking of this gave him a huge headache.

So much money was missing, and he didn't even know who had stolen it, let alone finding it back. How could he tell Boss Zhu about this?

So after much deliberation, running away was the best option.

The shopkeeper sent everyone away, "Let's continue looking wherever they ran. If that doesn't work, we can go door to door and ask. We must find those two people."

But there are no clues at the moment, how can we find them?

Someone suggested, "Boy, why don't you forget it? There won't be any damage to the inn. It's really hard to find it in this snowy day..."

The shopkeeper said angrily: "Look at this big bloody hole on my head. Is this called no loss?"

He was so excited that his wounds were bulging with blood, which was shocking to people watching.

Several people shut up and silently ran out to find someone.

As soon as those people left, the shopkeeper's expression changed and he became very panicked. He ran back to the room to pack his luggage, and took out the few dozen taels left in the store at the counter, abandoned the whole Daofeng, and ran for his life. .

I never thought about reporting the news to Zhu Hengqing.

Only a fool would report the news, and he would only be angered by the other party later.

-

Zhu Hengqing drank too much last night, talked to Pei Wenyue later, and went to bed too late. He didn't get up until the afternoon today.

As soon as he woke up, Pei Wenyue came to talk to him.

He knew what the other party was trying to do by being so aggressive, but he didn't want to take the risk at the moment.
