Chapter 1297: The Bad Guy Is Taken Away by a Bad Guy

~8 min read 1,451 words

"Did you go to practice martial arts? Don't think I don't know what you've been up to. Sheng Zihan, your wings have hardened now, haven't they? I haven't seen you learn much in the way of real skills, but when it comes to being sly and lazy, you're better than several people combined. How did I end up with a son like you..."

No one knows a son better than his mother.

No one understood what kind of child Zihan was better than Shi Youxuan.

He was first-class at glib talk, but he was most afraid of hardship.

If he had really practiced martial arts all day today, he wouldn't be all smiles like this when he got back.

Zihan was exposed, and with a bitter face, he apologized and dared not lie again.

If he didn't want to go, then so be it; Shi Youxuan wouldn't force him.

She not only wouldn't let Zihan go, but she also wouldn't let Litian go over there again!

The reason: his first master, Nianyin, was going back tomorrow, and as a disciple, he had to go see her off.

Speak of the devil.

Just after mentioning the farewell, Nianyin arrived.

She seemed to have something difficult to say; she stammered and hesitated for a long while, but still couldn't get it out.

"It's my aunt who sent you to take Zhu Qingrui away, right?" She was too embarrassed to say it, so Shi Youxuan said it for her.

"Yes, that's right."

Shi Youxuan refused: "No, he cannot leave Jiangzhou. Once he wakes up, he must be sent to Prison."

Zhu Qingrui hadn't woken up yet.

Liu Min was certain that he would become a fool once he woke up, but Shi Youxuan didn't dare to believe her words.

What if he wasn't a fool, but was just pretending to be one?

If he left Jiangzhou, no one would be able to control him; letting a tiger return to the mountains would lead to endless trouble.

Locking him in Prison to face the sanctions of the law was his best destination.

Nianyin said embarrassedly: "Mother said that she has already donated all the Treasure, and if you still don't agree to this small matter, she will sever her kinship with you."

"I'll tell my aunt that you don't need to worry about this matter."

Shi Youxuan took out her phone and dialed her aunt's number: "Sorry, you do not have permission to make this call..." Her aunt had actually blocked her number!

Was she determined to do this?

Shi Youxuan grabbed her coat: "Nianyin, you stay here for dinner; I'll go talk to my aunt."

"Okay."

Shi Youxuan drove to her aunt's Villa. It was already dark, and the house was brightly lit, but the curtains were drawn, and shadows were flickering inside.

It looked like she was packing, so she didn't think much about it and pressed the doorbell: "Ding-dong—"

"Aunt, it's me."

The door opened.

Before she could see clearly, she was dragged inside, and immediately after, the door was locked from the outside.

Not good, it's an ambush!

The room was empty, but a few pieces of clothing were hanging by the window, and an electric fan was blowing at them from the side.

She had been tricked.

The flickering shadows she had seen earlier were just these hanging clothes.

Ji Yingjie's arrogant voice rang out from outside the door: "Hahahaha, Shi Youxuan, don't you pride yourself on being smart? You finally fell for my trick, didn't you? In front of me, your cleverness is all fake, not worth mentioning, hahahaha."

The voice sounded very pleased.

"Aunt, don't be willful. Listen to me and don't take him away, otherwise you will regret it." Shi Youxuan stomped her feet in the room, but she couldn't get out.

"Bullshit! I never do things I regret. Don't you dare try to control me; I do whatever I want, and it's none of your business."

Ji Yingjie left after saying that.

She had tampered with things at home, using a signal jammer to block the signals in the house, so her niece couldn't get out, and she couldn't make any phone calls either.

She would have someone let Shi Youxuan out after she left Jiangzhou.

Locking her up for two hours would prevent her from meddling in other people's business.

Ji Yingjie climbed into Shi Youxuan's car, turned on the navigation, and drove straight to Wang Yong's place!

Wang Yong Villa.

Wang Yong was talking to the doctor, asking him when Zhu Qingrui would be able to wake up.

According to what Liu Min said, he should have woken up long ago; why was there still no movement now?

The doctor said a bunch of professional terms, and he didn't understand a single word. He said impatiently: "Don't use those fancy words with me. I haven't read many books, so stop spouting useless nonsense."

Consequently, the doctor explained it again in plain language—the gist was that it was uncertain, and even he couldn't say for sure.

When he would wake up.

Whether he could wake up, and whether he would really become a fool as Liu Min said after waking up, he wasn't sure.

Wang Yong was furious: "So after all that talk, you just don't know anything, right?"

The doctor nodded, but that was wrong; not nodding was also wrong.

The conversation reached a stalemate. At this moment, a subordinate came to report that the Ji Family Clan Leader had arrived.

"What is she here for?"

Wang Yong wasn't exactly familiar with Ji Yingjie, and they had no friendship to speak of.

But because she was Shi Youxuan's aunt, the two of them knew each other.

"Invite the guest into the living room."

A guest is a guest; one cannot be slow to treat them well.

"No need, I'm already in."

Ji Yingjie entered without an invitation; she didn't wait in the living room but came directly here.

She didn't waste words and got straight to the point: "I'm here to take Zhu Qingrui away; give the person to me."

Wang Yong smiled and refused: "Clan Leader Ji, isn't that inappropriate? My brother and sister-in-law instructed me to watch him well; without their word, I cannot make the decision."

He was being very polite.

If someone else had come to his door demanding a person, he would have had them thrown out without a second word!

But she was his sister-in-law's aunt; he had to show respect for her sake.

Ji Yingjie didn't get angry at the refusal and said kindly: "It's my fault for not being clear just now; my niece sent me, and she agreed to let me take Zhu Qingrui away."

Wang Yong clearly didn't believe her, but he couldn't easily refute it.

Just as he was trying to think of a better way to respond, Ji Yingjie pointed to the car outside: "Look, I drove her car here; she is at home playing with my daughter and son, so she didn't come along."

That was correct.

The car parked outside was indeed his sister-in-law's.

But a car alone was not enough to convince Wang Yong.

At this moment, Liu Min came over; although she was skeptical, she was very much in favor of Ji Yingjie taking the person away!

"Take him away; it would be best to take him out of the country and kill him, don't let this menace stay and continue to harm people."

Ji Yingjie never had a good impression of Liu Min.

Her father, Liu Quan, was also one of those who coveted the Ji Family Treasure; if it hadn't been for the help of Liu Quan's army back then, Zhu Qingrui wouldn't have been able to climb up from the cliff so smoothly to launch a sneak attack on the Ji Family.

Liu Min felt the same way about Ji Yingjie; she didn't like her either.

But now, because of a common enemy, the two women who couldn't stand each other were sympathizing with one another.

"Min, you're right, I want to do that too, but I can't; I promised my niece Shi Youxuan that I would let him live, safe and sound."

She was putting on an act.

No one believed these words.

Wang Yong was still hesitant and unwilling to hand Zhu Qingrui over to her.

He wanted to call Sheng Hanyu, but discovered he couldn't get a signal.

"Huh! Why is there no signal?"

"Is the signal at your place bad?"

Ji Yingjie was very anxious: "The plane leaves in half an hour, we can't delay."

Private planes also have flight paths and time requirements; they can't just fly whenever they want.
