Chapter 106 Bandits (5)
He Junjie was about to argue when the captain of the He family guards came up to him and whispered something in his ear.
He Junjie's face instantly became extremely colorful, like a color palette, sometimes red like a monkey's butt, sometimes white like paper. His mouth opened and closed again, and he looked so funny.
It turned out that my sister had really gone too far!
People were kind enough to take her in, but she repaid their kindness with hatred. Thinking about it this way, one hundred thousand taels is indeed not a lot.
When He Junjie thought of this, he felt angry and helpless, and the expression on his face was uglier than crying.
He smiled bitterly, shook his head, and after a long sigh of relief, He Junjie bowed deeply to Murong Chen again, and this time said sincerely: "Miss, please wait a moment, I will send someone back to get the banknotes."
Murong Ling'er then nodded slightly and responded softly, "Yeah!" Her eyes finally revealed a hint of recognition for He Junjie.
Then, Murong Ling'er turned her gaze to Guimian and asked He Junjie, "What about this? If you want me to release him, there are also conditions. Otherwise, he will die!"
"Ah?" He Junjie was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened like bells, and his mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg.
He never expected that the girl would ask such a question. His mind was confused for a moment and he stood there like a wooden stake.
Ghost Face's heart leaped into his throat when he saw He Junjie's stunned expression, fearing that he might not buy him out of anger. He quickly shouted at Murong Ling'er, "Buy, buy, buy! I'll buy it! Can I buy myself? I have the money!"
The shout was so shaky that it sounded like a rooster with its neck strangled.
He Junjie was brought back to his senses by Ghost Face's shout. He turned around and glared at Ghost Face fiercely, saying unhappily, "Shut up!"
Ghost Face, however, didn't care about that and kept begging: "Master He, save me, save me! I will definitely return the silver to you when I get back!"
He Junjie rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "With your character, can you really pay it back?" But it was not easy to just ignore it. After all, he still had to take him back to investigate. He could only sigh helplessly.
Murong Linger crossed her arms, raised her head slightly, and said coldly, "Don't waste my time here. Give me a definite answer whether you're going to buy it or not."
He Junjie frowned and said with embarrassment, "Miss, can we negotiate the price?"
Murong Linger snorted coldly: "No negotiation, fixed price, buy it if you want or not."
Upon hearing this, Guimian was so anxious that he broke out in a sweat. He shouted at He Junjie again, "Mr. He, please be kind and save me. This little money is nothing to you! Besides, I will return it to you!"
He Junjie gritted his teeth and said, "Miss, then I'll do as you say. However, I don't have enough money on me, so I have to wait until I get back to collect it."
Murong Ling'er said impatiently: "Then go quickly and come back soon. I don't have that much patience to wait for you."
He Junjie quickly agreed and left with his guards.
About two hours later, He Junjie rushed back, sweating profusely, and handed a stack of banknotes to Murong Ling'er: "Miss, the silver is collected, please count it."
Murong Ling'er took a casual glance, confirmed that it was correct, and waved her hand to let Ghost Mask go.
Ghost Face crawled to He Junjie and thanked him repeatedly.
He Junjie felt relieved when he saw that Murong Ling'er no longer made things difficult for him.
He turned to look at Murong Ling'er, cupped his hands, and said, "My lady, I will always remember your kindness today! I wonder if you would do me the honor of visiting my home and let me show my gratitude by being a guest."
Murong Ling'er's expression was cold, and she refused without hesitation: "No need, I just did a business deal, we don't owe each other anything, and I don't want to be too involved with your He family."
He Junjie looked embarrassed, but still did not give up: "Miss, please don't be so determined. My He family has some influence in this area. Perhaps I can help you in the future."
Murong Ling'er snorted softly: "I, Murong Ling'er, always rely on myself and don't need to rely on others."
He Junjie smiled helplessly: "I am sorry for being rude. I admire your unrestrained attitude, but if you need the He family in the future, please feel free to ask."
Murong Ling'er would not fall into the trap just because of such a trivial temptation.
But the He family is definitely not a good family. It is a place full of filth and conspiracy.
Although she was not afraid of the He family's dirty tricks due to her ability and courage, she also did not want to bring herself into unnecessary trouble.
In life, it is better to have less trouble than more. She does not want to fall into a quagmire from which it is difficult to escape because of a momentary impulse and carelessness. Moreover, now that she has a son, it is even more impossible for her to act according to her mood as before.
The box full of banknotes in front of Murong Ling'er was so dazzling that it was difficult to look at it directly. Seeing this, Huo Shuixian's eyes couldn't help but glow with jealousy.
Huo Shuixian was kicked hard by Guimian, and her ribs were almost broken. She collapsed on the ground like a dead dog. She looked at the box of banknotes, her eyes full of anger, and stared at Guimian.
I just heard her trying to remain calm and speaking in a deep voice.
"You hurt me, you must compensate me with fifty thousand taels of silver, or I'll have my sister cut off your other arm!"
Guimian was almost laughing at this shameless woman.
Looking at her posture, does she think that once she falls into the hands of this evil star, she will be a soft persimmon that can be robbed at will?
Guimian snorted inwardly. Although he was not as skilled as his opponent this time, he had to bow his head and submit temporarily in order to save his life.
But Ghost Face is not a simple-minded fool. It is a pipe dream to try to take advantage of him. It will never be possible in the next life!
Just when Huo Shuixian thought that her evil plan was about to succeed and was looking very proud and cheerful, Guimian suddenly spoke coldly.
"I've already paid all my wealth and property to this girl. Now I'm completely broke. If you still want compensation, go talk to her! Maybe you can get a share."
The reason why Guimian dared to say this was because he firmly believed that a vicious star like Murong Ling'er would definitely look down on a shameless person like Huo Shuixian.
Otherwise, with Murong Ling'er's superb skills, why didn't she immediately stop him when he kicked the woman?
As expected, Ghost Face’s bet turned out to be a winner.
When Huo Shuixian heard what he said, her face instantly became extremely stiff, and the smug look on her face disappeared without a trace.
She lowered her head in fear and didn't even have the courage to ask Murong Ling'er for anything.
This time, it was Ghost Face who started laughing triumphantly. His smile was sinister and full of joy, as if he had finally let out a sigh of relief.
However, just when he was laughing happily, he suddenly met Murong Ling'er's cold eyes. Guimian was like a punctured balloon. In an instant, he became quiet like a deflated ball and didn't even dare to breathe.
