Mr. Policeman, Will You Protect Me? (1)
Hong Xingguoâs complexion turned from blue to purple, and for a moment, he was at a loss for what to do.
Of course he wasnât afraid of a little kidâs threat. In fact, he didnât care at all whether Xiaoman was dead or alive. He didnât even want to waste money to buy her a meal.
But if he brought them a dead person, he wouldnât get any money even if Jiang Xiaoman really was that familyâs lost child.
Jiang Xiaoman looked at his gloomy face and pressed on, âDo you not believe me? Yu Qingshi is my life blood. He is everything to me, I canât live without him! If you donât take me to see him, I will die in front of your eyes!â
System: ââ¦â¦â
The system felt a bit ashamed.
When it told a story to trick the child, this was how its threat sounded. It⦠really sounded a bit over the top. Fortunately, its host was just a child who fell for it.
Hong Xingguo glared at her and sneered, âWhat Yu Qingshi? I donât care. Come with me obediently. Iâll leave after I get the money, and wherever you go afterwards would have nothing to do with me.â
Jiang Xiaoman cried and looked like she was going to cause trouble.
She wiped her tears and said, âI donât care about myself, but if I go with you, Iâll never see him again. Without me, he canât even eat or sleep well. No one will care if he hides underneath the bed, he will be so scared that heâll cry. His father is busy in the mine all day long and doesnât care about him. Itâs such a big villa but he lives there alone; heâs really pitiful. We already promised to wish each other a happy New Year, and I havenât gotten the chance to call him yet. You have to let me say goodbye at least, or I wonât go with you.â
The mine?
Hold on.
The boss of the mine, wasnât his surname Yu?
Hong Xingguo started becoming interested.
He squinted his eyes and asked, âA big villa? Do you know where his family lives?â
âI do. His house is very big and beautiful, and it even has a small garden!â Jiang Xiaoman cried and said, âYouâre going to sell me for money anyways. Can you let me take care of my treasures first? I buried a lot of good stuff in the house in the city. Grandma doesnât want them and Uncle doesnât like them, so I can only entrust them to Yu Qingshi! My thousands of yuan of New Yearâs money is also there!â
Hong Xingguo touched his chin and looked at the little girl who was crying, his heart feeling very annoyed.
But he was secretly very interested.
Boss Yuâs family was very rich. If⦠he took his son away and claimed that the kid left and got lost by himself and that he had found him, wouldnât he be able to get twice the payday?
Anyways, it was easy to coax children.
Since he was good friends with Jiang Xiaoman, it should be easy for her to lure him out. Even if things were exposed at the end and Boss Yu demanded an explanation, he could shift the blame to Xiaoman and say that it had nothing to do with him.
He was just a good guy who brought the child back!
âOkay, okay, fine. â Hong Xingguo started to coax her again with words filled with hypocrisy, âSince youâre about to go and canât bear to leave him, weâll go to his house to find him so you can talk to him face to face.â
Jiang Xiaoman stopped crying and was stunned.
This big villain was so stupid.
She thought that at most she would get to call Yu Qingshi and ask him for help.
Yu Qingshi was the second smartest child in the world, only a little less smart than her. If she gave him a signal, he would definitely understand.
Unexpectedly, this big villain would actually send her to him directly.
Okay then. This was even better.
Jiang Xiaoman nodded. Her face was sobbing and crying as she answered, but she was secretly happy inside.
As expected, Uncleâs teachings were on point!
Howling and crying loudly was a trick that would make the other party go soft. This trick was no longer as effective on Grandma, but it was very useful on others!
This stupid villain didnât understand this trick, right? He was so pitiful, not having an Uncle to teach him.
