Chapter 322: Chapter 316: The Little Girl is Not Simple!

An hour later, in Chicheng.

Leng Lingxiao was stewing pork trotters in the kitchen when suddenly, Zhao Renjie came hurrying in.

"What’s the rush? Is there something wrong?"

"Master, Li Zishen’s uncle has had an accident, a car accident near East Ring Road in Jin City. He has already been taken to the hospital, and it’s unclear whether he’s alive or dead."

"Why would Yuan Feng go to Jin City?" Leng Lingxiao was somewhat surprised, then he took the clay pot off the stove.

"I’m not sure. I didn’t see him personally the last time I went to Blue City. I only heard from the neighbors nearby that Yuan Feng is rarely at home and loves to roam around."

Leng Lingxiao arched an eyebrow, "Hmm, I remember this matter, and he’s also distantly related to Song Dapeng."

"Song Dapeng’s days in prison are hard enough, and his daughter has gone mad. If he learns of this, who knows how he’ll react?"

"Serves him right, not a pity if he dies!"

Zhao Renjie nodded, "Yes, Master."

Keep a close eye on that side... it’s already dark, and things might get very lively!"

"If Bai Long personally comes to Chicheng, are we really going to release him?" Zhao Renjie stepped forward, lowering his voice substantially.

Leng Lingxiao’s lips curled slightly, and he chuckled coldly, "We’ll see if he’s up to the task."

"Understood, I will arrange things now."

After Zhao Renjie finished speaking, he left to go straight to Sea Surrounding Villa. A black motorcycle closely followed behind him; it was Cheng Shi.

The dinner was quite lavish, with a total of sixteen dishes.

Aside from the roasted whole lamb, the rest were personally prepared by the family for Tang Xiaowan.

"These four were made by Grandma, these two were made by Huahua, these four... should be from your uncle and aunt, they look really delicious, um... these few have pretty unique shapes, they must be from Grandpa, definitely Grandpa." Tang Xiaowan said cheerfully, then glanced over to Wang Jinhui and Tang Mei.

Tang Mei didn’t say much in response, but Wang Jinhui laughed heartily.

He was simply too happy.

After such a long wait, he had finally been acknowledged by Tang Mei, and even heard Tang Xiaowan call him grandfather.

"Wow, Tangtang is really awesome, you guessed them all right," Leng Lingxiao checked against the menu in his hand, verifying each one before giving the outcome.

"Wow, I won, pay up!"

Tang Xiaowan’s eyes shone as she stretched out her right hand and then hopped over to Leng Lingxiao.

Seeing this, Tang Mei shook her head helplessly, "Ah, such a little money-grubber, we were all just looking for some fun, and you actually took it seriously?"

"Of course, I’m the poorest here; you can’t bully me with your power!"

"Of course not, a bet is a bet." Madam Leng Yang Aihua quickly pulled out a small red envelope from her pocket and stuffed it into Tang Xiaowan’s hand with a smile in her eyes.

Then it was Leng Lingxiao’s turn.

In less than a minute, everyone had given a red envelope, each one containing a bank card.

Holding five red envelopes for good fortune, Tang Xiaowan looked at everyone in surprise, "Why are they all the same, did you guys plan this?"

Tang Mei: I thought she would be polite for a moment, sigh, this child has really been spoiled by me!

Leng Jiangping: She’s too cute!

Madam Leng: So genuine, the more I see, the more I like her.

Wang Jinhui: Just like Tang Mei when she was young.

"No, no, it’s just a coincidence, haha." Leng Lingxiao replied with doting eyes, then pulled Tang Xiaowan to take a seat, "So... may I ask the elders, can we start eating now?"

As his words fell, the four elders stopped daydreaming and began to sit down for the meal.

...

At eleven o’clock at night, Sea Surrounding Villa.

A slender figure in black was picking a lock with a special tool. In just a few seconds, the deed was done, their movements as smooth as if returning to their own home.

Upon entering the secret room, the figure headed straight for Du Jiahao, ready to unlock his handcuffs and shackles.

"Hmph! So you actually think of impersonating one of Shen Shiyi’s men, how laughable!" Du Jiahao looked at the person in black with a scornful gaze.

"Botched performance? Did I make a mistake somewhere?"

With the sound fading, the figure in black removed the resin mask decorated with a facial pattern.

"Tang Xiaowan! How is it you? Is this Chicheng? So it was Leng Lingxiao’s people who abducted me!" Du Jiahao shook his head, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"Nonsense, it wasn’t Leng Lingxiao."

"Then how did you find this place?"

Du Jiahao looked at her with a face full of suspicion.

What has this girl been fed to grow up like this? She dares to strut around in front of me, brazenly telling lies? She must be tired of living!

"I was just eating barbecue by the seaside when I suddenly heard someone mention your name, so I followed them here. Anyway that day in the car... you gave me a pack of compressed biscuits, consider it a repayment."

"A pack of biscuits... in exchange for a life?" Du Jiahao’s mouth twitched as he replied with a question.

He wasn’t stupid, naturally he didn’t believe her.

Not to mention anything else, just wearing night clothes surely wasn’t for going out to eat barbecue.

"Yeah, exactly, you struck it rich."

While talking, Tang Xiaowan had already used a small tool to unlock all the handcuffs and shackles.

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll take the chance to kill you?"

As he spoke, Du Jiahao lifted his right hand, but only paused for a few seconds.

His body was too weak to exert any force.

Tang Xiaowan snorted with laughter, then said in a low voice, "After you get out, there’s a black motorcycle by the road, with keys. Just don’t wreck it for me."

As she advised, she quickly inserted a silver needle into a point on Du Jiahao’s calf.

"What are you doing? Are you thinking of..."

"Please, do you have paranoia or something?" Tang Xiaowan shook her head in disgust, and then administered a second needle on the man’s shoulder.

Du Jiahao: "..."

"Why are you staring at me like that? Funny, I’m not here to kill you! Relax, relax, I’m doing this in case you don’t have the strength to run out later."

"Why? Why would you..."

"Shh... don’t talk, be quiet for two minutes."

After speaking, Tang Xiaowan locked the secret room door. She had already observed that the mercenaries would patrol the basement every ten minutes.

The timing was just perfect after applying the needles.

However, at this very moment, a pair of profound eyes were watching their every move. There was a hidden camera inside the secret room.

"Holy crap, Lady Tang actually came?" The Bald Man turned his head to Zhao Renjie.

"Oh, I see, Lady Tang must be trying to use some other method... to make Du Jiahao confess on his own, yes, exactly."

The Bald Man chuckled analytically, but Zhao Renjie didn’t speak, just silently took out his cell phone.

"Old Zhao, should we..."

"Yes, start."

Zhao Renjie answered while texting on his phone.

So, the Bald Man immediately gave the order.

"Just make it look convincing, don’t hurt Lady Tang," Zhao Renjie instructed softly.

"Understood, just leave it to me."

At the same time, two mercenaries swiftly went down to the basement of the villa to begin a feigned interception.

The sound of clashing blades was sporadic.

In this way, Tang Xiaowan followed close behind Du Jiahao, witnessing him counterattacking all the way. Du Jiahao’s arm was even slashed while protecting Tang Xiaowan.

"Big brother, you..."

"Don’t flatter yourself, it was mere coincidence. And don’t bother trying to get any information out of me."

"Hmph, you’re the one flattering yourself."

Afterward, they reached the perimeter of the villa. They just needed to scale the high walls while the mercenaries were distracted. But at that moment, Tang Xiaowan suddenly pushed Du Jiahao hard.

"Big brother hurry, I’ll cover the rear."

Du Jiahao gasped for air, looking towards Tang Xiaowan, feeling a prick on his back as if stung by a needle, though it wasn’t particularly noticeable, certainly not as painful as a lash from a whip.

What trick is this girl trying to pull off now?
