Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 838 - 833: A Pill

Fang Pingying watched Xu He walk out, feeling not surprised, just gave her a cold glance, waiting for her next words.

Xu He first looked behind Fang Pingying and the others, confirming they hadn't brought anyone with them, then pointed at the bag in Fang Pingying's hand, "First, give me the money, then cross your hands behind your head and follow me."

Under the condition of not understanding the situation at all, Fang Pingying wouldn't easily follow Xu He. Although they needed to rescue Haohao, she also had to ensure her own safety in situations that weren't absolutely necessary.

Seeing this, Xu He mocked, "What, unwilling? If you're unwilling, then don't expect to see Haohao again."

As Fang Pingying remained still, she continued, "I know Luo Zhiyong isn't Zhou Yunmei's biological child, Zhou Yunmei only has Luo Zhiming as a biological son, and Luo Zhiming is useless. He probably only has this one grandson in his lifetime. Are you really not planning to save Haohao?"

With these words from Xu He, Zhou Yunmei indeed got anxious and secretly pushed Pingying, signaling her to follow Xu He's instructions immediately.

Fang Pingying glanced at Zhou Yunmei, then looked amusedly at Xu He, "Xu He, are you hiding foolishly because you've been wanted by the police lately, or what's the matter? Your threats don't seem directed at me but rather at Zhou Yunmei. Why don't you let Zhou Yunmei listen to you then?"

"You..." Xu He was momentarily at a loss for words, her face pale, then she yelled at Fang Pingying, "Stop being so sharp-tongued, I know Haohao is also very important to you."

Fang Pingying knew Xu He understood her feelings for Haohao, and she didn't deny it, "That's right, Haohao is Xiu'er's child, who has grown up with me, he indeed is very important to me. If there's a way, I would do everything to save him, but if I try my best and still can't, I would only feel regret."

After a pause, Fang Pingying couldn't forget to remind Xu He, "But Xu He, let me remind you, aside from Haohao, you have no leverage against me. Do you believe if I just shout now, the people outside will see you and immediately report to the police?"

"You..." Xu He didn't know how to respond because Fang Pingying was right; if Fang Pingying gave up on Haohao, she would really be at a dead end.

Seeing her like this, Fang Pingying decided to rationally negotiate with her, "Xu He, let's make a deal, you release Haohao, and I'll give you all the money I brought in my bag, plus the amount you mentioned, and my own money in there, totaling over twelve thousand yuan, all for you. You take this money and leave immediately, I won't report to the police or take any actions, let's just settle our matters privately, and our grudges will be considered settled, alright?"

Hearing this, Xu He was momentarily tempted; twelve thousand yuan wasn't a small amount, comparable to the money Shuanzi gave her before. If she took it and fled to a smaller place to start anew, she might be able to live again.

However, when she saw the calmness on Fang Pingying's face, Xu He suddenly realized she didn't believe Fang Pingying would let her go so easily. Moreover, she felt Fang Pingying wasn't short on money, if just spending some money could resolve these grievances, it would be too easy for her.

Her thinking was, she needed the money, but she also wanted to completely resolve her grievances with Fang Pingying this time.

Thus, gritting her teeth, she rejected Fang Pingying's proposal, "Fang Pingying, our grievances aren't that easily resolved, there's no way to sever them."

"Xu He, if that's how you put it, then I have nothing to say to you." Given the situation, Fang Pingying didn't bother to be verbose, directly asking, "Then go ahead, having gone through so much trouble to capture Haohao, tell me what exactly you want from meeting me."

Xu He gave Fang Pingying a look, then pointed at the bag in her hand, "First give me the money."

For Fang Pingying now, ten thousand yuan wasn't a big sum. Hearing Xu He say this, she didn't blink an eye and directly tossed the bag to Xu He.

Xu He caught the bag, opened it, glanced inside, and could easily see the thick stack of money. She put the bag away and raised an eyebrow, "Oh, Fang Pingying, you've got money and clout now, how generous you are. If you were this generous when I was your sister-in-law, we wouldn't have come to this point."

Impatience crossed Fang Pingying's face, "Stop rambling, just say what you want from me."

"I..." In fact, before Fang Pingying came here, Xu He had thought of many ways to torment her, but now, being questioned by Fang Pingying, she didn't know what to do first.

Going up to beat up Fang Pingying seemed too abrupt, especially since Fang Pingying's movement wasn't restricted; if things went wrong, Zhou Yun may end up unable to beat Fang Pingying.

Thinking for a while, Xu He suddenly remembered an important person that hadn't been used and was crucial to tormenting Fang Pingying.

Her lips curled slightly, and she suddenly took out a paper packet from her pocket and handed it to Fang Pingying, "Swallow this, and I'll let you go afterward."

Fang Pingying took the small paper packet, suspiciously asking, "What's this?"

Xu He replied, "Don't worry about it, just swallow it, it won't kill you, and I'll immediately bring Haohao out."

Holding the paper packet, Fang Pingying didn't tighten it, obviously unwilling to foolishly swallow whatever Xu He provided. Her mind was racing on how to divert attention away from this matter.

But Xu He seemed to see through Fang Pingying's intentions. She snorted and threatened again, "I told my people that if I don't return within a certain time, Haohao will immediately be sent away. If you keep delaying, it's not me who'll face consequences."

Fang Pingying hesitated upon hearing Xu He's words, eventually opening the paper packet to find it contained a white pill, clearly not something good.

Immediately after, Xu He looked over at Liu Fengsheng, "It's time for you to act. Didn't you always like Fang Pingying? I'm leaving her to you. Once it's over, this matter can be considered settled. With your relationship, your goals should be achieved."

Liu Fengsheng knew what the pill was, and thinking about what would come after, his face instantly flushed red. He quickly glanced at Fang Pingying but quickly shifted his gaze, not speaking a word.
