77: Chapter 76: Not Recognizing Wrong (Thirteenth Update)
Lin Qiang watched Jiang Mingyuan with hatred, for it was this very guy’s sudden appearance last time that disrupted their plans, even forcing him to flee by climbing over walls, leading to…
Seeing him again was like enemies meeting, each burning with animosity.
Lin Qiang clenched his fists; he wanted revenge!
“Let me tell you, mind your own business, or else the three of us will gang up and beat you to a pulp!”
Mangzi had already learned how formidable this guy was last time and felt hesitant.
In a low voice, he said, “Let’s not stoop to his level, let’s get out of here fast!”
Today was supposed to be just a simple stakeout; how did they run into this scourge?
Dahai was not convinced, “What’s there to be afraid of?
It’s three against one!”
They hadn’t done anything bad this time, they were just standing here; what could he do to them?
Dahai had been thinking about when he would settle the score with this guy, and today was an opportune moment to sort him out!
Dahai and Lin Qiang charged at Jiang Mingyuan together, and Mangzi, seeing them go, couldn’t fall behind, especially considering he’d suffered the most that day.
The kick he received from this kid had left his stomach aching for days!
Jiang Mingyuan, seeing their moves, was clearly skilled in fighting and unreservedly vicious.
Even the three of them, Lin Qiang included, couldn’t gain any advantage for a while.
Instead, they got beaten up by Jiang Mingyuan!
Just then, someone shouted, “Stop fighting, everyone!”
A man with a beard suddenly appeared—it was Old Wang!
Old Wang had been in his yard when he heard the commotion of a fight near the fence.
Coming out to look, he didn’t expect to find Zhao Family’s second son fighting with three guys.
Jiang Mingyuan stopped, and Lin Qiang, knowing who the man was, quickly hid behind Mangzi.
Jiang Mingyuan spoke up quickly, “Uncle Wang!
These guys tried to rob Xiaolin, who was staying at Aunt Xu’s house a few days ago, and I happened to come across them!
Today they’re here lurking around…
who knows what bad stuff they might be up to!”
Dahai hurriedly defended, “That’s not true at all, we were just passing by and resting here!”
Mangzi quickly agreed, “Right!
Just wanted to rest!”
Lin Qiang, behind them, didn’t dare make a sound, afraid of being recognized.
But Old Wang looked at Lin Qiang with suspicion, his face stern as he commanded, “You there, behind, come out!”
Dahai and Mangzi, not understanding what was happening, stepped aside, revealing Lin Qiang.
Old Wang pointed at Lin Qiang, exclaiming, “Isn’t this the guy who came to our door the other day, claiming to be a relative of Xiaolin?”
“What?” Jiang Mingyuan also turned to Lin Qiang, “You’re Xiaolin’s family?”
He immediately understood the trickery at play.
Lin Qiang, not wanting to be interrogated like this, whispered to Mangzi and Dahai, “Run!”
The three of them took off; Jiang Mingyuan and Old Wang gave chase for a few steps but didn’t continue.
Jiang Mingyuan asked Old Wang, “Uncle Wang!
Is that kid really related to Xiaolin?
But a few days ago, he and those two guys tried to rob Xiaolin and I just happened to bump into them and drove them away!”
He had come back from out of town and heard from his mother about Lin Xia and her family moving out of Old Xu’s house.
He had wanted to return her fountain pen but couldn’t find her.
Yet he hadn’t expected to encounter those people quite by accident! ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Old Wang’s expression grew serious, “Second Young Master!
Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
If that’s the case, this is getting interesting!
Members of her own family teaming up with others to commit robbery—it seems many things aren’t as they appeared to her.
“I wasn’t mistaken!
I recognized them immediately!” Jiang Mingyuan was also pondering, just what sort of people were Xiaolin’s family members.
They must have learned it from his stepmom, that son she brought with her.
Old Wang heightened his vigilance, “If that’s the case, since Xiaolin has already moved away, why did those three return here?
Could they be planning to…”
They definitely had no good intentions!
“It’s hard to say!
I just saw them scouting out the Xu Family’s situation!
Uncle Wang, this situation…”
They all felt it should be taken seriously…
As the two were talking, Xu Haihua rode up on her bicycle.
When she saw Jiang Mingyuan, her eyes lit up, and she dismounted with delight, “Brother Mingyuan!
What are you doing here?
When did you get back?”
She had been to his house looking for him the past two days, but heard he was out and he hadn’t returned yet!
Jiang Mingyuan didn’t want to deal with Xu Haihua and said to Old Wang, “Uncle Wang!
I’m going to head home first!”
Before, he had never found Xu Haihua quite so annoying.
Ever since he helped Lin Xia last time, Xu Haihua had been acting passive-aggressive.
She was always stirring up trouble in front of him, and he was no fool—couldn’t he see for himself what people were like?
“Alright!
If there’s anything, we can catch up when we’re both free!” Old Wang knew they were only suspicious and didn’t have any proof yet, and they certainly couldn’t just tell Xu Haihua like this.
What if their suspicions were wrong?
That would just unnecessarily scare her and her mother.
He could tell that the old maid from the Xu Family had a special feeling towards the Zhao Family’s second son.
At his age, he surely couldn’t be someone who couldn’t tell what was going on.
However, he definitely had his opinions about the impropriety of this old maid.
Xu Haihua stopped Jiang Mingyuan, “Brother Mingyuan, don’t be in such a hurry!
I still have things to tell you!”
About Lin Xia, she had a belly full of words she wanted to tell him!
“What’s there to talk about!” Jiang Mingyuan pushed his bicycle, ready to ride away, but Xu Haihua grabbed the handlebars.
“Brother Mingyuan!
Wait a moment!
I just want to say a few words!”
Xu Haihua, disregarding Jiang Mingyuan’s impatience, raised her face to look at him, “Brother Mingyuan!
You know what happened, right?
That Lin Xia, they moved out of my house!
We had no idea she was a scammer!
That day, her family came looking for her…
They hadn’t been split from the family; they had a dispute with the elderly at home and sneaked out!
In the future, if you see her again, don’t let her deceive you…
And she didn’t come home for two nights, who knows what she was up to…”
In her heart, that Lin Xia was definitely no good; otherwise, how could she have money to spend without going to work?
Jiang Mingyuan ignored Xu Haihua’s obstruction and mounted the bike, “Xu Haihua!
Cut down on spreading rumors behind others’ backs!”
Xu Haihua, infuriated, shouted after him, “Brother Mingyuan!
Why don’t you believe me?
I’m telling the truth…
If you don’t believe me, ask your mom…”
Madam Xu heard the shouting outside; it sounded like someone calling out, and by the noise, it seemed to be her daughter.
She hurried out of the house and caught her daughter’s shouted words.
She yelled out angrily, “Xu Haihua!
What the hell are you doing?
Get back here immediately!”
Such a large girl making a scene at the front gate with a man, what does it look like?
Moreover, she truly disapproved of that Zhao Family’s second son who didn’t have a proper job and just loitered every day; what kind of future could he have?
Seeing her mother was truly upset, Xu Haihua didn’t dare to overstep too much and sheepishly went into the yard.
Madam Xu, furious, grabbed her as she put away the bicycle, and dragged her into the house.
“What’s all the fuss at the front gate?
Do you want the whole neighborhood to laugh at you?”
