Days of Living with My Sister-in-Law-Chapter 138 This Woman is Off

Unfortunately, He Yongkun acted just like a boot-licking dog and readily agreed.

"No problem at all! Military affairs are a top national priority. Since General Zhao needs military funds, let’s just confiscate the Li Family’s assets."

"Speaking of Li Xinghe, he did nothing but evil his whole life. For him to be able to solve an urgent national crisis even in death, you could call it his good fortune."

Turning back, He Yongkun said apologetically, "Doctor Chen, I am very sorry, but it’s an age-old principle that the country comes before the family. I can only forsake you for the sake of the greater good."

"Damn it!" Chen Xiaobei clenched his teeth in anger.

But his opponents were the military, and with a Half-step Heavenly Rank expert in charge, Chen Xiaobei truly couldn’t afford to provoke them right now.

But he was truly furious. After going through all that, not only did he almost die, but he also ended up doing all the hard work for someone else’s benefit. The feeling was like being halfway through sex when your partner suddenly gets her period. It was indescribably frustrating.

"Hahaha! Magistrate He, you truly are a father to the people of Songshan. On behalf of General Zhao, I, Mr. Guo, thank you for your generous donation," Guo Yingqiang said with a laugh, clasping his fists in a bow.

Although he was in uniform, he looked exactly like a ruthless jackal at that moment.

"In that case, let’s hurry up with the asset transfer! All unrelated personnel must leave immediately." Guo Yingqiang impatiently ordered them out.

"Wait!" Chen Xiaobei stepped forward, suppressing his rage.

Guo Yingqiang’s face immediately darkened. "Boy, don’t tell me you have other ideas? I advise you not to. If you delay important military matters, don’t blame me for sending you to a military tribunal."

CLICK-CLACK—

No sooner had he spoken than a dozen guards raised their rifles and surrounded Chen Xiaobei and his companions.

"Xiaobei!" Luo Qingcheng’s pretty face turned pale with fright.

Murong Xiaoyi’s eyes burned with fury. She had always loathed evil with a passion. If these had been ordinary men, she might have let it go. But they were soldiers, sworn to protect the country! When soldiers act like hooligans, the harm they cause is far more severe than that of ordinary people. Murong Xiaoyi wanted nothing more than to slaughter Guo Yingqiang.

"Xiaoyi, don’t make trouble. They have guns," Luo Qingcheng said, forcefully pulling her cousin back.

Meanwhile, Chen Xiaobei spoke up. "Major Guo, I don’t have any other ideas, and I agree to the confiscation of the Li Family’s assets! But everything must be done according to the law. I have an IOU here that Li Maowen wrote for me. They may be dead, but a debt isn’t erased by death. You’ll have to set aside that ninety million for me."

With that, Chen Xiaobei presented the IOU.

Guo Yingqiang didn’t even bother to look at it, snorting, "Since you say the man is dead, how can you prove the IOU is authentic?"

"Of course, I can prove it." Chen Xiaobei pointed at He Yongkun. "First, Magistrate He also knows about this. Second, I specifically recorded a video at the time, just in case Li Maowen tried to deny the debt later. I never thought it wouldn’t be needed while he was alive, but it sure came in handy after he died!"

As he spoke, Chen Xiaobei played the video he had recorded. The video was irrefutable; everyone saw Li Maowen willingly write his name on the IOU.

"You—" Guo Yingqiang glared, his face stinging with humiliation.

He Yongkun felt even worse, wishing he could cut Chen Xiaobei down with a single slash.

A mere ninety million! Was it worth falling out with Guo Yingqiang over this? Anyone could see that Guo Yingqiang was deliberately targeting him. Couldn’t he just back down? What good would come from angering the Zhao Family?

But He Yongkun was, after all, the Magistrate. In front of so many people, he couldn’t falsely accuse Chen Xiaobei. Swallowing his anger, he said, "Major Guo, this is indeed true. Since the Li Family owes Chen Xiaobei money, we must settle this debt."

"Interesting... Fine, I’ll pay. We soldiers can’t be unreasonable, can we?" Guo Yingqiang said, staring sharply at Chen Xiaobei.

Soon, the Li Family’s assets were sorted through. Guo Yingqiang tossed the deed to the Xinghe Grand Hotel into Chen Xiaobei’s hands. "This hotel is worth about ninety million. We don’t have the cash, so we’re giving you the hotel. No problem with that, right?"

"No problem," Chen Xiaobei nodded.

Right now, he didn’t care what they gave him; what mattered was that he had to speak up.

I am the heir of Xi Yao, the Demon Realm Queen! If I don’t even have the guts to demand what’s owed to me from Guo Yingqiang, I might as well just die. Even if this offends Guo Yingqiang, even if it infuriates Zhao Qingshan, I have to do it!

And Chen Xiaobei had already figured it out.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Guo Yingqiang dares to extort and plunder so openly; there’s no way his superior, Zhao Qingshan, is unaware of these things. A Two-Star Major General, my ass! They’re just a bunch of bandits! Just give me a bit of time to level up, and I swear I’ll take down this whole pack of bastards.

Fuming, Chen Xiaobei returned to Luo Qingcheng’s villa.

"Xiaobei, I’m... I’m so sorry! This is all my fault. If I hadn’t brought them over, none of this would have happened," Luo Qingcheng said apologetically, looking like a guilty child as Chen Xiaobei came out from his shower. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Hey!" Chen Xiaobei immediately smiled. "Qingcheng, this has nothing to do with you. You brought people to rescue me. I couldn’t be more grateful."

Luo Qingcheng frowned. "But we just dealt with the Li Family, and now we’ve offended Guo Yingqiang. What if he reports you to Zhao Qingshan? What are we going to do?"

"Ugh! I’m so stupid! How could I have forgotten about Guo Yingqiang’s connection to the Zhao Family!" At that moment, Luo Qingcheng was frantic, her eyes filled with concern.

Instantly, Chen Xiaobei felt his heart melt, and he stepped forward, wanting to pull Luo Qingcheng into his arms.

"Hey, what are you trying to do!" Murong Xiaoyi, who had been watching them like a hawk, quickly threw her arm around Luo Qingcheng and said consolingly, "Cousin, I say it’s no big deal. Zhao Qingshan might be powerful, but he’s a general. He can’t just brazenly come after Chen Xiaobei, right? If you’re that worried, just come back to Qingyang with me. My master may be injured, but he’s still a Fifth-grade Heavenly Rank master. If Zhao Qingshan shows up, my master will finish him in minutes!"

"Xiaoyi, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly go back to Qingyang with you?" Luo Qingcheng was so furious she felt like she would explode.

Truthfully, she really didn’t want to see her cousin right now. She finally had a rare chance to be alone with Chen Xiaobei, and this annoying third wheel was ruining everything.

She immediately chided, "Right, weren’t you supposed to bring your master here for Xiaobei to treat? Since you’re back now, why haven’t you left yet? Do you even care about your master’s condition?"

"Cousin, I—" Murong Xiaoyi hesitated, her face a mask of conflict.

Of course, she was worried about her master, but she couldn’t bear the thought of leaving her cousin alone with Chen Xiaobei.

What if this scoundrel took advantage of my absence and screwed my cousin? That would be disastrous.

But Luo Qingcheng was determined to make her leave, pushing her toward the door as she spoke. "Alright, Xiaoyi, you should go. Your cousin will be waiting for you to come back." Biting her lip, Luo Qingcheng gave Murong Xiaoyi a kiss on the cheek.

As expected, the kiss instantly cheered Murong Xiaoyi up. She said reluctantly, "Cousin, I’ll be back soon! And you," she pointed at Chen Xiaobei, "don’t you dare bully my cousin, or I’ll come back and kill you!"

"Hmph!" With that parting shot, the young woman finally drove off.

"Oh my god!" Watching the car disappear into the distance, Luo Qingcheng immediately squatted down.

"Are you okay?" Chen Xiaobei quickly supported her by the waist, seizing the rare opportunity.

"Yeah, I’m fine. Just stressed out. Come inside and chat with me for a bit." Luo Qingcheng gave a shy smile, her pretty face blushing. She no longer seemed to resist his touch at all.

Damn, something is off with this woman! As a man of experience, his sharp nose could immediately sniff out that Luo Qingcheng had developed feelings for him!
