Chapter 82 - 82 Targeted! (1)
82 Targeted! (1)
Just as she approached the parking lot, Gu Qingming acutely sensed a few gazes looking in her direction.
She paused for a moment and did not look at that place.
“Sis, you’ve been shopping with Mom and the others for so long?” Shi Yaoqing said in surprise, “I thought you’d come back immediately from the stench.”
Gu Qingming smiled and said, “Market Day is quite interesting.”
It was just that the environment was too bad.
“Did you buy anything?”
Hearing Gu Qingming’s answer, Shi Yaoqing was quite surprised.
He thought that a rich young lady like Gu Qingming would definitely not be able to endure this dirty and messy environment in the countryside.
It was always like this on television.
Of course, the only rich young lady he knew was his cousin. He gathered that impression from television shows.
Shi Junxuan lifted the things in his hand and said, “Dad, Aunt bought honeysuckle!”
“Honeysuckle?” Shi Yaoqing raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, “Sister, do you like honeysuckle tea?”
Gu Qingming shook her head and said, “No, I bought it for my father.”
“Oh, Uncle, drink it. Drink more honeysuckle!” Shi Yaoqing nodded and said, “If Young Master likes to drink it, we’ll go to the mountain to pick it ourselves another day!”
Gu Qingming’s eyes lit up as she said, “Pick from the mountain? Sure!”
As soon as Gu Qingming agreed, Shi Yaoqing’s head was patted by his grandmother. She said angrily, “You can go yourself. Don’t bring your sister.”
It was so dangerous to go up the mountain. Ming’er was pregnant and there was the danger of her slipping.
When Third Sister-in-law saw her husband being beaten up, she immediately covered her mouth and smiled. “Grandma, he’s just a boor. How could he think so much?”
Then, she looked at Gu Qingming and said, “Sister, let’s go to the mountain to find some honeysuckle another day. However, the path up the mountain is not easy. If we’re not careful, we might fall.”
“That’s right, Ming’er. Let your brothers and sisters-in-law pick the honeysuckle. Just rest at home,” Grandma said.
Gu Qingming held her grandmother’s arm and said with a smile, “But Grandma, I want to play on the mountain. You know, I’ve never gone up the mountain to play before.”
“But there are a lot of mosquitoes in the mountains. A girl with tender skin like yours would attract mosquitoes.” Grandma said worriedly, “Besides, there are a lot of insects on the mountain. It’s only when you get a fever that you realize you’ve been bitten.”
There were also people who realized too late that they had been bitten by insects.
Gu Qingming did not understand. She said, “Grandma, don’t worry. We just have to bring more insect repellents.”
Grandma was speechless.
Eldest Aunt smiled and said, “Mom, Mingming can go if she wants. There are so many of us watching. There won’t be any danger.”
She muttered to herself, “All the pregnant women in the countryside carry their burdens up the mountain. I haven’t seen any danger.”
Of course, Gu Qingming was the treasure of the Shi family. The family definitely doted on her and was afraid that she would be in danger.
It was inevitable for pregnant women in the countryside to carry the burden.
The others also said, “Mom, there are so many of us watching. Nothing will happen.”
Grandma glanced at them angrily and said, “Since you’ve already said so, what else can I say? Ming’er, if you want to play, go ahead. Just be careful!”
“Thank you, Grandma!” Gu Qingming smiled.
However, she felt that the two sharp gazes had never disappeared.
She wondered, “Could they be people sent by Boss Liu?”
This was very likely.
After so many days, there should be some movement.
The people Wenwen sent out reported to her that Boss Liu had brought these people to eat, drink, and play in the county city. He had even brought them to gamble.
Among the so-called gangsters of the Azure Dragon Gang, four of them were addicted to gambling. The remaining two would probably be on their way to addiction.
It was very difficult for anyone who was at the gambling table to leave. Nine out of ten gamblers would lose, and a longtime gambler would definitely lose! Everyone at the gambling table wanted to win. Everyone wanted to become rich overnight.
However, gambling was not only about luck and gambling skills, but also all kinds of dirty tricks. Therefore, sometimes, gambling was inhumane.
However, she did not understand why Boss Liu would do this.
What was his purpose?
Gu Qingming thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea.
Was that what Boss Liu was thinking?
There were four people sitting in a private room on the third floor of the restaurant not far from the parking lot.
These four people were bare-chested, revealing the green dragon on their left arms. They looked fierce.
At this moment, these people were leaning against the window and looking through it at the group of people in the parking lot.
This group of people was Gu Qingming and the others.
“Brother Cheng, that woman is really beautiful!” Old Liu stared at Gu Qingming and said lustfully, “When the time comes, we can kidnap her and enjoy her first.”
Other than Cheng Ba, the other two nodded and said, “That’s right. This woman is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. She’s even more beautiful than those female celebrities on television.”
“Hehe, you guys haven’t seen those female celebrities before. How would you know if they’re beautiful?”
“Can an unattractive woman become a celebrity?”
“You don’t have to say anything. Let me ask you, have you investigated the identity and background of Gu Qingming?” Cheng Ba asked.
In just a few days, the man, who already had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, looked even thinner than before. There was a layer of dark circles under his eyes as if he had not slept for a few days. He looked extremely haggard.
Not only him, but the other three also looked the same. They were the four people Boss Liu had taken to gamble. They had fun during the day and gambled at night.
In the beginning, they won one or two rounds of gambling. Later, they kept losing. Until now, they had lost more than 100,000 dollars.
However, Boss Liu paid for all the losses and they immediately felt that they owed Boss Liu a huge favor.
However, after they were paid off, the casino still refused to let them in.
How could someone who was addicted to gambling endure such rejection?
Cheng Ba recalled that Boss Liu had said that Shi Lichun’s niece from Stoneback Village was very rich. It would not be a problem for him to kidnap her and ask for 1.8 million dollars.
“Brother Cheng, we’ve already investigated that woman’s identity. She’s indeed Shi Lichun’s biological niece. Her mother is a golden phoenix that flew out of Stoneback Village. More than 20 years ago, she was the first university student in Stoneback Village and later married a rich man.”
Scoundrel Liu said, “He’s really rich. It’s said that he donated money to build the road between Stoneback Village and Shahe Town and from Shahe Town to Pingyang County.”
“Is her family that rich?” Cheng Ba was a little surprised.
“Indeed, a multimillionaire. She will definitely not be able to escape.” Scoundrel Liu nodded.
