Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 402

"It can hardly be called a calculation, at most it’s just startling the snake by hitting the grass."

While speaking, Xiao Ming unapologetically wrapped his arm around Jiang Nanxi’s waist. "I want to see what kind of medicine this girl is really selling. She will only make a move if you start preparing for the Safety Bureau." freewebnoveℓ.com

Mr. Cui pretended to be completely ignorant of the report, isn’t that his purpose?"

Jiang Nanxi was initially angry at his brazenness, but at these words, her eyes suddenly widened.

If just before she was merely feeling inferior, at this moment her heart was filled with a dense sense of defeat that couldn’t be dispersed.

It turned out that what she thought were flawless strategies seemed as naïve as child’s play in the eyes of Xiao Ming and Cui Zhibo.

They had already noticed, they just wanted to see what tricks she could come up with.

How laughable that she had fancied killing Cui Zhibo and then winning over Xiao Ming—a case of killing two birds with one stone.

Simply a fool’s dream.

Cui Zhibo glanced at Xiao Ming’s hand caressing Jiang Nanxi’s waist and sighed again, "Mr. Xiao, are you planning on not leaving her for me at all?"

Xiao Ming felt it was only natural: "Before, An Xianhe gave me this casino, so now I am the Zhuang Family. And when the Zhuang wins, they take everything.

Mr. Cui should understand these rules."

Cui Zhibo’s cultivation of his demeanor was indeed very good. Neither his eyes nor his expression showed the slightest bit of the dejection, depression, and anger that a loser should have, but instead, he was calm and frank.

"Since the Zhuang takes all, if I want to save my life, I’ll have to exchange something for it, right?"

Xiao Ming nodded, "What I want is not expensive. And Mr. Cui, you should have brought it with you."

Cui Zhibo smiled, his eyes showing a mix of joy and regret.

"I never expected that Mr. Xiao would understand me so well. We should have become friends who could talk about anything. It’s a pity you only wish for my death."

"If you weren’t that ’Father Cui’ to so many children, then we definitely could have become very good friends.

Unfortunately, our paths differ, so we cannot plan together!"

"Does Mr. Xiao think he can change the rules of the Red Lotus Society?"

"Rules are made by man, and man can naturally change them. Whether to stick to unchanging rules or to reach the next level is a choice only the Saint can make, and it’s meaningless for you and me to discuss it."

"So, as long as I can leave alive today, who lives and who dies in the future is still unknown."

"This is the dignity I am giving you."

"I am grateful, thank you!"

"You’re welcome."

Cui Zhibo nodded, took one last look at Jiang Nanxi, and got up to leave.

Sophie pulled a hard drive out of her bag, slammed it onto the coffee table, and snorted coldly as she followed Cui Zhibo out.

In the blink of an eye, the only ones left standing in the room were the four old men, Hao, Wu, An, and Chang.

Xiao Ming withdrew his hand from Jiang Nanxi’s waist, and said coldly, "You should leave, too."

Jiang Nanxi didn’t waste words, stood up, took a few steps, then turned back, "When did you inform Cui Zhibo?"

"When I found the sign for the resort hanging on the main gate."

Jiang Nanxi showed a sudden realization, "Choosing such a remote place was superfluous."

"Wherever you chose would have been useless." Xiao Ming shook his head, "If Cui Zhibo could discover that you forced Hao Taixing to rebel, he would be able to find out where you were hiding, sooner or later."

"Right." Jiang Nanxi laughed mockingly at herself, then crossed her hands in front of her abdomen and gave a bow, "In that case, Nanxi awaits your summons."

Xiao Ming exhaled, sent a message to Ding Jianwei, and then stood up to approach Ge Tiancheng, helping him cut the ropes that bound him.

"I thought that once you had money, you would immediately take your family and leave this place of sorrow."

"I indeed planned to take my wife and children back to our hometown, but I had to return this to you first."

As he spoke, Ge Tiancheng reached into his collar and fumbled for a long time before pulling out a cheque for two million.

When Xiao Ming was helping Ge Tiancheng clean up his stall that day, he put the cheque that tricked Ge Qinghe into the cash box, out of both pity and respect.

But he never expected that this disabled man would have such integrity, refusing to take handouts even in his most difficult and dire circumstances.

If it wasn’t for this cheque, Ge Tiancheng wouldn’t have stayed to return it to him; he might not have been caught and used to threaten him.

Serendipity, the workings of fate.

Fate is just this damn strange yet wonderful.

Feeling the warmth from the cheque, and watching the reunited family hugging each other, crying and laughing, Xiao Ming suddenly felt that they, with their worn and dirty bodies, were the cleanest people in the world.

"Mr. Ge, have you seen that hard drive on the coffee table?" he pointed in that direction to Ge Tiancheng, "It contains ironclad evidence of the crimes committed by the four families over the years. Soon, someone from the relevant departments will take it away for investigation.

I didn’t lie to you, the Hao, Wu, An, and Chang families are finished. They can no longer do evil in the Ancient Appraisal Association."

Ge Tiancheng’s eyes reddened, and he began to kowtow on the floor—being paralyzed from the waist down, bending over meant lying prone.

Xiao Ming hurried to stop him, only to hear him say, "Mr. Xiao, you are our family’s great benefactor!"

"I’m not..."

Xiao Ming wanted to deny it, but a sudden idea made him change his words: "Since that’s the case, there is one thing I’d like to ask of you, if I may?"
