The Fortunate Demoniac Little Village Doctor
Chapter 431 - 431 406 Indescribable in a Single Word

431: Chapter 406: Indescribable in a Single Word 431: Chapter 406: Indescribable in a Single Word With one sweeping glance, the entire store came into view, with no place that could hide a person.

Liu Hun shouted Shi Qing’er’s name and rushed out of the shop.

The bustling crowd on the old Paifang Street made it impossible to spot Shi Qing’er.

Where on earth had that damned girl run off to?

Liu Hun desperately craned his neck, looking around, but still saw no sign of her.

“Boss Liu!

Something terrible has happened!” Zhong Xiao burst out of the shop in a hurry, handing Liu Hun a piece of paper, “I found this on the floor.”

Liu Hun took it and read: To ensure your woman, Ping’an, remains unharmed, prepare ten million yuan and put it in a red and blue woven bag.

Then bring the bag and drop it on the ground at the entrance of Wangu Shop on the old Paifang Street tomorrow.

“Hmph!

Trying to play the kidnapping game with me!” A chill flashed across Liu Hun’s eyes, filled with murderous intent.

“Boss Liu, what do we do now?” Zhong Xiao asked Liu Hun.

“Let’s go in and ask Manager Li.

Even if he isn’t involved, he still knows quite a bit about this place.

We are in the light, they are in the dark, we must prepare thoroughly and figure out their background,” Liu Hun told Zhong Xiao, and the two turned and re-entered the shop.

Under the threat and temptation of Liu Hun and Zhong Xiao, Manager Li laid bare everything about the area.

Thinking he was about to leave and return to his hometown, he felt free to speak out, as no one would chase him there to trouble him.

It turned out that the people who had kidnapped Shi Qing’er were the same group that had attempted to swindle them at the street stall earlier.

The old Paifang Street was divided into territories, and the street stall area was under complete control of this group, while they were not allowed to interfere with the shops on the back street.

The red and blue woven bag they mentioned was the kind that almost every street vendor used to hold their goods.

“Manager Li, thanks a lot!

We’ll talk business after this matter is dealt with,” Liu Hun said to Manager Li as he and Zhong Xiao left the shop.

Liu Hun could not yet fully ascertain if Manager Li was completely unrelated to the incident.

After leaving the old Paifang Street and getting into their car, Zhong Xiao asked Liu Hun, “Boss Liu, what now?

Should we play it by the book or go rogue?”

“We can’t go by the book, we have no evidence.

We don’t know how deep the waters run here, and calling the police without evidence might end up harming Qing’er.

I can’t take the risk,” Liu Hun said, his icy eyes staring into the void.

“Then leave it to me.

I’ll take my brothers and flip this whole street inside out!” Zhong Xiao proposed to Liu Hun.

“No!

We can’t be reckless!” Liu Hun’s foremost worry was Shi Qing’er’s safety; he could not risk her.

So he continued to Zhong Xiao, “This is a crisis, but also an opportunity.

If we handle this well, not only can Qing’er be safely rescued, but we can also eradicate this power and take over this place.

Then, if Old Mo from ‘Three Rounds of Gambling’ wins, we’ll not only have established ourselves here but will have taken control of this street as well!”

“Killing three birds with one stone, Boss Liu is really astute.

But…

what’s our first move?” Zhong Xiao asked Liu Hun.

“Prepare the money, first we rescue Qing’er, and then for the rest…” Liu Hun trailed off, motioning Zhong Xiao to come closer and whispering a few words to him.

The next afternoon, Liu Hun came to old Paifang Street once more, parking the car and getting out holding a heavy woven bag by himself.

Today’s Paifang Street was as bustling as ever, with many people strolling around with the hope of finding bargains, although they often ended up getting thoroughly conned.

Clutching the woven bag, Liu Hun walked to the entrance of Wangu Shop, looked around at the passing crowd, but did not notice anything out of the ordinary.

Following the instructions on the note, he placed the woven bag on the ground and turned to walk back the way he came.

After just five steps, he stopped abruptly and looked back to see that the woven bag had vanished.

At that moment, a commotion suddenly erupted all around.

“Whose daughter is that, sitting over there?!”

“Miss, what’s wrong with you?

Are you lost or something?

Why aren’t you talking?”

“The girl looks pretty handsome.

She wouldn’t be mute, would she?”

“…”

Hearing these comments, Liu Hun immediately pushed through the crowd and squeezed his way over.

“Qing’er!” Liu Hun took a hard look and saw the woman sitting on the ground, appearing somewhat dazed, was indeed the kidnapped Shi Qing’er!

Liu Hun immediately carried Shi Qing’er out of the old Paifang Street, while Zhong Xiao stood by the car.

Upon seeing Liu Hun carrying Shi Qing’er over, he immediately opened the car door.

“Boss Liu!

What happened to Miss Li?” Zhong Xiao asked, noticing that something seemed off with Shi Qing’er.

“Get in the car first!” Liu Hun said, hurrying into the car with Shi Qing’er in his arms, where Monkey was also sitting.

“Boss Liu!

Miss Li must have been drugged by them,” Monkey, who dabbled in the Evil Path, quickly discerned that Shi Qing’er had been drugged.

“Do you have a way to counter it?” Liu Hun urgently asked Monkey.

“Easy!” Monkey said nonchalantly, “Just flush her system with water!

Get two bottles in her and she’ll be fine!”

“Boss Liu!

I’ll go buy the water right now,” Zhong Xiao said from outside the car, and immediately ran off to get water.

Liu Hun watched Shi Qing’er drowsily in his arms, looking lost and confused, which tugged at his heartstrings.

He turned his head to the Monkey and asked, “How’s the task I assigned you coming along?”

The Monkey grinned, pointing at the computer in his hand, and said, “Boss Liu, rest assured, I’ve got everything under control.

With Thief Eyes and the others watching from above, I guarantee not one of these guys will slip away.”

“Boss Liu, your water is here!” Zhong Xiao said as he handed Liu Hun the water.

Liu Hun pinched Shi Qing’er’s nose and forcibly poured the water down her throat.

“Ugh!” Shi Qing’er couldn’t even get halfway through the second bottle of water before she vomited everything out, gasping for air, and complained, “You…

do you think I’m a water buffalo?”

“You okay?” Liu Hun helped Shi Qing’er sit up and held her in his arms to wipe her mouth.

“Damned poker-face man, I…

I was kidnapped, did you know that?” Shi Qing’er leaned weakly on Liu Hun and said.

“I know, and I’ll deal with them.

Let’s go back now, you need to rest.” Liu Hun told Shi Qing’er to close her eyes, then he said to Zhong Xiao, “Zhong Xiao, you drive, tell Thief Eyes to keep a close watch on this place.”

“Got it!” Zhong Xiao settled into the passenger seat and kicked the Monkey out, saying, “Monkey, keep a tight watch.

You know what’ll happen if anything goes wrong!” With a cheeky grin, the Monkey headed up to the tea house.

After getting back home, Liu Hun had planned to settle Shi Qing’er in and then immediately return to guard Old Archway Street.

He couldn’t just let this incident slide, but…

“Where are you going?” Shi Qing’er grabbed Liu Hun and asked.

“I have some important things to take care of,” Liu Hun patiently explained to Shi Qing’er.

“Why don’t you let that stone-faced guy handle it?

I’m feeling so bad…

I was kidnapped and drugged!

What if something had happened to me, what if I died?” Shi Qing’er said to Liu Hun with a pitiful face.

Liu Hun couldn’t help but think Shi Qing’er looked far from dying.

In fact, she seemed more inclined to kill him with frustration.

Reluctantly, he called Zhong Xiao to go back first and decided to stay and keep Shi Qing’er company.

“That’s more like it; I’m a patient and need care,” Shi Qing’er released Liu Hun upon hearing him arrange things over the phone.

“Did they do anything to you?” Liu Hun asked Shi Qing’er.

When he had seen her on the street earlier, her clothes were intact, but now he wanted to make sure.

“No…

at first, they just gagged me and locked me in a pitch-dark place.

Then, this morning, they fed me something sweet-tasting, not too bad…

but after eating it, I got so drowsy!” Shi Qing’er recounted her kidnapping ordeal to Liu Hun.

“Good!

I’m relieved then,” Liu Hun finally felt completely at ease.

“What’s good about it?

Why did you force water down me?” Shi Qing’er questioned, pointing at Liu Hun’s nose.

“If I hadn’t made you drink water, you wouldn’t have vomited out those dirty things, and you’d probably still be unconscious,” Liu Hun explained to Shi Qing’er.

“But I feel so uncomfortable now…” Shi Qing’er clutched her stomach and pouted.

“Then you should rest.

Close your eyes and sleep,” Liu Hun said, really hoping that Shi Qing’er would stop bothering him, but he greatly underestimated her capacity for being a nuisance.

“I can’t sleep; sing me a song, maybe that’ll help me fall asleep,” Shi Qing’er, like a well-behaved child, put her hands together on her chest, ready to listen.

“Sing a song…

what song?” Liu Hun was momentarily at a loss.

“Anything!

If you don’t sing for me, I won’t sleep tonight, and neither will you,” Shi Qing’er insisted uncompromisingly.

After thinking for a while, Liu Hun finally came up with a song that might help Shi Qing’er fall asleep.

He cleared his throat and began to sing, “My sweetie sweetie, here’s a little sweetness for your night, sleep tight, my little devil, let me tease your brows, make you love this world…

I want you to know you’re the most beautiful, I want you to know you’re the most beautiful…”

Although Liu Hun’s singing skill was inferior to the two sisters, his deep and slightly raspy voice had a slow, languid pace that added a peculiar…

hypnotic effect!

“Qing’er?!

Qing’er?!” Liu Hun gently called her name twice and realized Shi Qing’er had begun to snore softly.

He tiptoed to the door, closed it, and left the house.

After leaving home, Liu Hun found Zhong Xiao, who got into the car and said, “Boss Liu, your method really worked.

We’ve now pinpointed their key members, and Thief Eyes even spotted where they’re staying from atop the teahouse.

We’re just waiting for your order to act.”

Liu Hun nodded.

When he had looked down from his own vantage point in the teahouse previously, he knew it was an excellent place for surveillance.

Fortunately, he had a skillful pickpocket named Thief Eyes in Zhong Xiao’s team, who was sharp-eyed, so Liu Hun had him climb to the top of the teahouse to scout out the deal.

“How about Monkey?”

“Everything’s set with Monkey,” Zhong Xiao assured Liu Hun with a nod.

“Good!

Then we wait.” Liu Hun said, then lay back in the car with his hands behind his head, comfortable and at ease.

The crescent moon hung high, and as night fell, the weather began to cool.

The entirety of Old Archway Street seemed to be immersed in the river of history, its daily hustle and bustle giving way to the silence of the night.
