Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Xiaoqing thought of something and asked, “Then should we arrange for someone to come over and catch him?”
“No, we can’t arrange for anyone to come over. We can’t alert the enemy. At night, your brother-in-law and I will wander around to confirm things!” Li Xiaoran said, “Xiao Qing, after you rest a little later, go out with Ziyang to look for Father and Mother. Remember, you must pretend to be very anxious. At the same time, don’t go alone. You must be with Ziyang!” Li Xiaoqing immediately understood what her sister meant.
“I understand! You and Brother-in-law have to be careful too!”
Li Xiaoran nodded and said softly, “Don’t worry! We’re not the people Liu Mingkun wants to capture, but you definitely are. That’s why I reminded you to follow Ziyang. Even if you have to go to the bathroom, you have to let Zi Yan follow you!”
Li Xiaoqing nodded and remembered her sister’s words.
The carriage quickly arrived at the house beside the wine shop and the group walked in.
After resting for a while and eating some watermelons, the group split up and went out to look for people.
Only Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng were left in the house.
Li Xiaoran looked outside and then at Luo Cheng.
“Husband, show me the news Yu Peng sent back again. Perhaps I can find out about Liu Mingkun’s methods or thoughts from this news!”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he immediately took out the previous letter and information files.
Next, the two of them began to read them in silence.
Li Xiaoran read it very carefully. Every time she read a message, she would stop and think about it carefully.
To be honest, in the modern era, she had seen many such affairs on the news, so Li Xiaoran could understand these people’s thoughts clearly.
After Li Xiaoran carefully analyzed the news sent back by Yu Peng, Li Xiaoran already had a preliminary understanding of Liu Mingkun.
“Liu Mingkun is quite conceited. When he was young, he was bullied. Five years ago, he suddenly disappeared for two years. Two years later, he returned. Not long after, he made many women fall head over heels for him. All these years, none of the women he took a fancy to escaped from him and this inflated his ego. Therefore, it’s impossible for him to accept defeat at this moment.”
“As for Xiao Qing, in his eyes, failing to win her over is his failure. Therefore, this is definitely a humiliation to Liu Mingkun. He’s definitely determined to get Xiao Qing. Be it in terms of mission or psychological needs, he’ll be eyeing Xiao Qing covetously.”
“Husband, let’s suppose that if you were Liu Mingkun, just as you were about to use your methods to charm a little girl, the little girl refused to take the bait. What makes you even more dejected is that another man who’s not inferior to you appeared beside your target. This man gets along very intimately with your target. Won’t you feel indignant?”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he pondered.
“He’ll definitely feel furious. He has never failed before, but now, he has failed again and again. he definitely won’t admit that there’s a problem with his methods. He’ll only find fault with others. Perhaps he’ll feel that the reason Li Xiaoqing didn’t fall for him is because she doesn’t feel his charm. Therefore, he has to take Li Xiaoqing away from that man and interact with Li Xiao Qing alone. This way, he can use his charm!”
Li Xiaoran said firmly, “That’s right. That’s definitely what Liu Mingkun thinks.
If he wants to be alone with Xiao Qing, the most convenient way is to use my parents. Therefore, I previously reminded her not to be alone and not to let Liu
Mingkun threaten her!”
As it turned out, Li Xiaoran was right.
At this moment, in an inconspicuous corner, a beggar sent a letter to Li Xiaoqing.
“Sister, a man asked me to give this to you!”
Li Xiaoqing and Luo Ziyang looked at each other. Then, Luo Ziyang squatted down and said to the beggar in a gentle tone, “Did the man who gave you the letter say anything else?”
The beggar shook his head and said only one thing.
“That man gave me food and told me to give this letter to her. He didn’t say anything else!”
Li Xiaoqing squatted down and asked patiently, “Then can you tell me what that man looks like?”
“He was wearing a bamboo hat, so I couldn’t see his face clearly!” the little beggar replied.
When Li Xiaoqing heard this, she took out a handful of candies from her pocket and placed them in the little beggar’s hand.
“You can leave now! Thank you for coming!”
When the beggar saw the candies, he immediately took them and ran away.
“I’ll get someone to follow him!” Luo Ziyang said.
“There’s no need. Since the other party sent a child over, he won’t leave any clues for us to find. Let’s take a look at what this letter says first!” Li Xiaoqing picked up the letter and prepared to open it.
“Wait!” Luo Ziyang thought of something and took the envelope. “Xiao Qing, let me check it first. I’m afraid this letter has been tampered with!”
With that, Luo Ziyang asked Li Xiaoqing to stand further away and took out a pair of leather gloves.
After that, Luo Ziyang took out a pill and put it in Li Xiaoqing’s mouth. Then, he took one for himself.
After making these preparations, Luo Ziyang opened the letter and read it from afar.
There was only one sentence in the letter: If you want to save your parents, come out alone at night.
There was no time or place. That was all there was in the letter.
After Li Xiaoqing and Luo Ziyang saw this line of words, they immediately frowned.
Suddenly, Luo Ziyang felt a little dizzy and he quickly chewed the pill in his mouth.
As a bitter taste spread on his taste buds, Luo Ziyang immediately felt much more energetic.
“Xiao Qing, hurry up and take the pill!” Luo Ziyang quickly shouted when he saw that Li Xiaoqing’s eyes had become blurry.
When Li Xiaoqing heard Luo Ziyang’s words, she chewed twice. Soon, she perked up from the extremely bitter taste.
“That was close. If not for Brother Ziyang, I would have fallen into his trap!” Li Xiaoqing said with lingering fear.
Fortunately, her sister reminded her to stick with Brother Ziyang!
Fortunately, Brother Ziyang was careful and prepared.. Otherwise, she might have been taken away by Liu Mingkun!
