Chapter 300: Lu Jiutang Faces Sabotage
Lulili is alive, which means Bai Man has been eliminated by Lu Jiutang.
Bai Man and the Veiled Woman, Shadow Brother, are sisters; this is a serious issue.
Hong Qichang broke into a cold sweat upon hearing Blade's report, and his face darkened as if smeared with ink.
He couldn't understand how the matter of Bai Man bringing Lulili to the Provincial Capital could have reached the ears of the Wolf Gang and Lu Jiutang, especially since it had been conducted very discreetly.
Could there be an insider traitor?
This was impossible because only he, Hong Qichang, and Bai Man had planned the trip to the Provincial Capital; there had been no one else around at that time.
Did Bai Man accidentally let something slip?
But now Bai Man was certainly no longer alive. How the news got out remained a mystery.
"Blade, immediately instruct a few brothers to take guns and lie in ambush near the National Purchase Supermarket. As soon as Lu Jiutang arrives, eliminate him. Then give those brothers some money and have them leave the Galactic District temporarily to avoid drawing attention!" Hong Qichang commanded.
Blade replied, "Understood. Uh, Boss, what about Lulili?"
Hong Qichang said, "There are many people at the National Purchase Supermarket. Just focus on taking out Lu Jiutang for now; leave his daughter alone for the time being!"
"Got it!"
Blade went off to arrange his men.
When Lu Jiutang's car arrived near the National Purchase Supermarket, he got out and pulled out his phone to call Lulili again.
At that moment, he could never have imagined that not far away, several figures were jumping off a bus and rushing towards him.
At this time, Lulili was holding hands with Xia Xiaoya, chatting and laughing as they came down from the building.
"You tell me, what's up with your dad? Why is he in such a hurry to get you back? Lulili, I haven't had enough fun with you yet," Xia Xiaoya said somewhat unhappily.
Lulili pouted and replied, "Who knows about my old man? He always treats me like a three-year-old. Whenever I go out, he thinks I'll get lost!"
Of course, she couldn't mention that she had been kidnapped by Hong Qichang. Lu Jiutang had told her never to speak of it to anyone.
After all, her dad and Brother Xiao Yun had killed Bai Man and that Pockmarked Baldy; those were two lives!
"Having a dad is still better!" Xia Xiaoya sighed.
Xia Xiaoya's father had passed away long ago, and every time she saw someone with a dad, she felt envious.
"Lulili said, 'Xiao Ya, don't think too much. Having a mom around is also very good!'"
"Haha, my mom..."
Mentioning her mother made Xia Xiaoya beam with pride as she animatedly said, "She listens to everything I say. Whatever I want to do, she never disagrees. Hey, Lulili, do you think if I were to date a boyfriend, he would listen to me like my mom does?"
"You're too domineering!"
Lulili laughed at this and then asked, "Hey, tell me, do you have someone in mind?"
"Uh, there is someone. I'm really optimistic about him. I already have a plan to win him over!" The image of Xiao Yun appeared in Xia Xiaoya's mind.
"Oh, who is it? Hurry up and tell me!" Lulili asked curiously.
The two girls had been inseparable since their school days, discussing everything from which boy was handsome to who they had crushes on, like the school heartthrob.
Hearing Lulili's question, Xia Xiaoya didn't hide anything and said, "His name is Xiao Yun!"
"Xiao Yun?" Lulili's heart sank at the mention of the name, and her smile instantly vanished.
— So she liked Xiao Yun too!
"Hey, Lili, what's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing!"
Just as Lulili was feeling conflicted, her phone rang.
Lulili answered it and heard Lu Jiutang asking, "Daughter, come out quickly. Dad is waiting for you outside the National Purchase Supermarket!"
"Oh, okay, I'll be right out..." Just as Lulili said this, several loud bangs came from the phone, followed by a scream from her father.
Bang!
The phone fell to the ground as Lulili staggered, her face turning pale.
Xia Xiaoya was frightened and quickly supported her, asking anxiously, "Lili, what's wrong?"
"My dad is in trouble!" Lulili suddenly cried out and rushed down the stairs...
Outside the National Purchase Supermarket, chaos erupted as people scattered in all directions as if doomsday had arrived.
Lu Jiutang lay in a pool of blood.
"Dad—" Seeing her father lying on the ground, Lulili rushed over like a madwoman.
Xia Xiaoya stared at the horrific scene before her, momentarily frozen in shock.
In the distance, the wailing of police sirens echoed...
It was strange, but as Lu Jiutang fell to the ground after being shot, the feeling of fear and unease that Xiao Yun had been experiencing also vanished.
Xiao Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that Lu Jiutang would be okay.
At that moment, his White Volkswagen Polo had already entered Painted Immortal Village in Panlong Mountain.
Geng Xingsheng had received a call informing him that Xiao Yun was coming, and he and Old Village Chief had arrived at Qiu Yue's house early to wait. Hearing the sound of a car outside the courtyard, everyone rushed out to greet him.
When Xiao Yun climbed out of the car, Old Village Chief stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and laughed heartily, "Xiao Yun, you arrived just in time! Geng Xingsheng was planning to start production today, but since it's getting late, for good luck, let's start tomorrow morning instead. I wish for this Beauty Perfume to be as prosperous as the rising sun!"
Xiao Yun smiled and replied, "Sure, I'll follow your lead, Old Village Chief."
"Geng brother, you've really worked hard!" Xiao Yun shook Geng Xingsheng's hand again.
Geng Xingsheng said, "Brother Xiao, you're too polite; this is what I should do!"
At that moment, Li Qiqin also got out of the car.
Her appearance brightened everyone's eyes; what an outstanding beauty!
Cao Ni's previously cheerful expression darkened again as he thought to himself that this guy was too fickle; how could he bring such a beautiful woman along?
This guy has so many beautiful women around him!
Xiao Yun pointed at Li Qiqin and introduced her to everyone, saying, "This is my teacher from school, her last name is Li. She has been in Korea for many years and just returned today. She plans to join our Drunken Beauty Company and came here to take a look!"
"Welcome, Teacher Li!" Geng Xingsheng and the others applauded.
The warmth and hospitality of the mountain people made Li Qiqin feel a bit shy.
"Thank you, thank you, everyone!" she said with a blush.
When Cao Ni heard that this beauty was Xiao Yun's teacher, she felt relieved and quickly urged everyone, "Come on in and sit down; don't just stand outside chatting!"
Once inside, Xiao Yun looked around but didn't see Qiu Yue, so he asked Cao Ni, "Auntie, where's Autumn Moon?"
Geng Xingsheng chimed in, "She's with those three beauties at Drunken Beauty Garden; they should be back soon!"
The three beauties he mentioned were naturally Little Bell, Black Fox, and White Cat.
"Xiao Yun,"
Cao Ni deliberately raised her voice in front of Li Qiqin and said, "Last time you came, I told you to call me Mother-in-law. Why do you still call me Auntie?"
Her words caused everyone in the room to burst into laughter. Xiao Yun felt a wave of embarrassment wash over him as he stole a glance at Li Qiqin, who was giving him a strange look. She thought to herself that this guy really had quite a few beautiful women around him; even in this remote mountain area, he had a fiancée hidden away!
At that moment, Cao Ni brought a cup of tea to Li Qiqin. Li Qiqin accepted it and smiled, saying, "Thank you, Auntie!"
"How can you call me Auntie?"
Cao Ni replied with an unhappy expression. "Teacher Li, you should call me Big Sister. Once a teacher, always a parent. You're a woman and Xiao Yun's teacher; by rank, you're like his mother. We're not just sisters; we're also family!"
What kind of theory is this? Xiao Yun almost fainted on the spot.
Everyone laughed, but Li Qiqin, surprisingly unconcerned, chuckled and said while holding Cao Ni's hand, "Haha, alright, I accept you as my in-law now, mother-in-law!"
"Hey!"
Cao Ni squinted her eyes and responded loudly.
Pfft!
The sip of tea that Xiao Yun had just taken was sprayed out of his mouth, nearly causing him to choke.
Cough cough cough...
Xiao Yun bent over, clutching his chest, coughing violently until his face turned purple.
—This is truly dark and hopeless. No matter what, I can't let my goddess become my mother; isn't that forcing me to give up on life?
Xiao Yun felt as if a storm of clouds rolled over his head with thunder and lightning.
Laughter filled the room, but Xiao Yun sat in a corner with a frown on his face.
Li Qiqin occasionally glanced at Xiao Yun with a playful smile, as if to say, "Your mother-in-law is really interesting; it seems like I'm competing for her precious son-in-law. How could that be possible?"
