Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 368 We Are Not Bad People_1
Chapter 368: Chapter 368 We Are Not Bad People_1
An Kefang was pulled back into the car by Xiao Ming, staring at the vendor who was still cursing loudly, her face filled with grievance and confusion.
"Mr. Xiao, did I say something wrong? Why is he acting like this?"
Xiao Ming glanced at her sidelong, "Are you actually dumb, or just playing dumb? Has pretending to be an ostrich become a subconscious reaction for deceiving yourself and others?"
Taken aback, An Kefang then realized that the vendor’s change of attitude had started from her admission of being from the Ancient Appraisal Association.
Thinking of a certain possibility, the girl’s complexion, which had just recovered, turned pale again.
"What has the Association done to him?"
"You saw it yourself."
"His leg?"
"And his dim-witted son, as well as the child who’s gone missing."
An Kefang gasped, "These... all of these were done by our four families..."
"Not exactly. This place belongs to the Qingyang Realm, so naturally, the Hao Family is to blame for the sins committed here." Xiao Ming explained, "To be exact, it was ordered by a certain bigwig, assigned by Hao Taixing, and personally perpetrated by your dearly beloved Xiangyu."
An Kefang instinctively wanted to retort, but the words wouldn’t come out no matter how hard she tried.
Years of affection couldn’t just disappear overnight, so what else could she do but in pain? ƒrēenovelkiss.com
"Let’s go, onto the next place."
Xiao Ming sighed lightly and instructed Qingfeng to drive.
After about seven or eight minutes, they arrived at a high-rise residential complex.
In such a small county town, a Mercedes-Benz S was an absolute luxury car, so the security guard only took a glance before lifting the barrier and saluting them properly.
Parking in front of a building, Xiao Ming told An Kefang, "Wait here, don’t wander off."
An Kefang, still immersed in sorrow, immediately raised her head, "I want to come with you."
"Girl, do you have a masochistic streak? Wasn’t today’s excitement enough for you?"
"I said, I came today looking for answers."
"Suit yourself." Xiao Ming opened the car door, "Just bring your eyes when we go up, and don’t talk nonsense."
Entering the building, Qingfeng pressed the elevator button for the twenty-fourth floor ahead of them, and the three of them stood in place as they rode up.
For some reason, An Kefang reached out and grasped the corner of Xiao Ming’s sleeve as if doing so could provide her with a sense of security.
Xiao Ming acted as if he didn’t notice, while Qingfeng caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye and barely began to smirk when he got slapped on the back of his head.
"Uncle, why did you hit me?"
"Still playing dumb?" Xiao Ming scoffed, "You really think I can be fooled as easily as Shizuka? ’One cannot engage in relations before twenty’—what kind of idiotic excuse is that? How did you come up with it?"
"Hehe, wasn’t I just trying to create an opportunity for you, uncle!" Qingfeng scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly.
"Furukawa is clearly psychologically abnormal, and ordinary seduction tactics are useless. You put in so much effort during the day, even got your arm bitten until it bled. Now, with this rare opportunity at night, it was the perfect time to solidify the progress in bed."
"I think you’re the one who’s psychologically abnormal. Mingyue was such a nice girl, and you’ve led her astray."
As they were speaking, the twenty-fourth floor arrived, and Qingfeng was the first to step out, heading straight for Room 2401 to knock on the door.
Soon, a melodious and pleasant female voice came from inside, "Who is it?"
Qingfeng showed a sincere smile to the peephole, "Hello, sister! Sorry to disturb you, I live downstairs, and it seems like there’s a water leak from your bathroom."
In the elevator, listening to Qingfeng, who had just been discussing seduction tactics, send out such an innocuous and well-behaved voice, An Kefang felt goosebumps all over.
"Even the kids around you are so cunning, you’re definitely not a good person."
"Did I ever claim to be a good person?" Xiao Ming retorted with a smirk.
An Kefang looked up at his disdainful profile, and suddenly a thought crossed her mind.
A family that once bridged and patched roads could turn so utterly wicked overnight; in comparison, a scoundrel full of ill words could be considered a more trustworthy good person.
At that moment, sounds of a door opening came from outside. Xiao Ming immediately stepped out of the elevator; An Kefang hurried to follow, once again clutching his sleeve.
"Who... who are you? You can’t come in here, get out or I will call the police!"
The lady of Room 2401 was terrified, continuously backing away, but Qingfeng was one step ahead and had already snatched her mobile phone from the coffee table.
A small Teddy dog rushed out barking furiously but was kicked to the side by Xiao Ming; it whimpered and tucked its tail between its legs.
"My... my wallet is on the cabinet. Take all the money in it; please don’t hurt me."
The homeowner, a woman in her twenties with natural beauty, looked alluring even without makeup and in her bulky homewear.
Ignoring her, Xiao Ming sat down on the couch with An Kefang, while Qingfeng leaped up and groped something from above the balcony door curtains.
Then, he went into the bedroom and came back out, tossing two black objects onto the coffee table—two pinhole cameras.
The woman’s complexion changed drastically, and she shrank back beside the cabinet air-conditioner, "Who... who sent you?"
Xiao Ming offered her a friendly smile, "Miss Ge Qinghe, hello! My name is Xiao Ming, and I’m terribly sorry to intrude this way.
But rest assured, we are not sent by the person you are thinking of.
Additionally, looking at the gentle and adorable girl beside me, it should be proof enough that we are not bad people, so technically speaking, we should also not harm you."
The woman became even more worried, "Technically speaking?"
"Yes," Xiao Ming nodded, "As long as you cooperate, all will be well."
