Chapter 25
Pursuit
Li Shun pointed at himself in disbelief and then asked, “Me? I’ve been married off by my father. What’s the point?”
Li Xiaoran only smiled but didn’t say anything else.
There were some things her father would only understand after it happened.
Luo Cheng glanced at Li Xiaoran and knew what she meant. Then, he narrowed his eyes.
To be honest, rather than saying that the Li family had designs on Li Shun, it would be more accurate to say that they would target him.
Thinking of this, Luo Cheng sneered.
The Li family really treated him as a fool. He wanted to see what tricks the Li family would play.
For a moment, no one spoke. Everyone had their own thoughts, so the atmosphere was tense.
“Father, where are my mother and Xiao Qing?” Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked.
“Your mother and sister went to Granny Huang’s house to get seeds!” Li Shun replied.
As soon as he said that, Li Shun suddenly remembered something. Then his expression changed.
“What?” Li Xiaoran’s expression changed.
One had to know that Granny Huang’s house wasn’t far from the Li family’s house. If the mother and daughter went out and met those people, it would be troublesome!
Zhao Xiu and Li Xiaoran had also arrived at the village and were heading towards Granny Huang’s house.
As Granny Huang lived not far from the Li family’s house, the mother and daughter naturally noticed the people surrounding the Li family’s house.
Zhao Xiu wanted to go forward to take a look, but Li Xiaoqing stopped her.
“Mother, we’ve already gotten out of that place. Let’s not give ourselves up again!”
Zhao Xiu listened. After some thought, she nodded and walked towards Granny Huang’s house.
When Granny Huang saw Zhao Xiu and her daughter walk in, she quickly pulled them into the house and ran outside to close the door.
“Why did you guys come out at this time? Do you know that the Li family is making a fuss? Those heartless people from the Li family might secretly sell you and your daughter for money!” Granny Huang said worriedly.
“Granny Huang, what happened?” Li Xiaoqing asked in confusion.
When Granny Huang saw that Zhao Xiu and her daughter were both confused, she quickly told them what had happened at the Li family’s house.
“You didn’t see that those people were all fierce and aggressive. They looked like they wouldn’t let go until they saw the money. Previously, they seemed to want to drag Li Yan to pay off the debt. I don’t know what the Li family said later, but those people let Li Yan go again. So, you and your mother almost got into trouble. Sometimes, people are evil-hearted. You have to think of the worst!” Granny Huang persuaded earnestly.
She was old and had seen a great deal of things.
Black-hearted people were willing to do anything.
Zhao Xiu and Li Xiaoqing were also terrified. The mother and daughter didn’t know what to do.
“Don’t worry, wait for me here first! I’ll find a junior to pass a message to Li Shun and ask him to come out and pick you up!” Granny Huang thought of something and patted Zhao Xiu’s hand.
Zhao Xiu and Li Xiaoqing heaved a sigh of relief and told them the reason why they had come.
Granny Huang burst out laughing.
“You guys sure came at the right time! I’ve already hatched dozens of chicks previously. Previously, my niece-in-law asked me to leave 30 chicks for her. In the end, her family has to move to town to rent a house and can’t feed the chickens. I was just worried that I wouldn’t be able to sell these chicks when you two came!”
When Zhao Xiu heard this, she also felt that this was really a coincidence.
Fortunately, her husband had given her a lot of money previously. Otherwise, she would be too embarrassed to take Granny Huang’s little chick back today.
“Wait here. I’ll get you some vegetable seeds and catch some chicks for you!” Granny Huang said with a smile.
On the other side, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng came out to pick her up.
There had to be someone left at home!
Li Xiaoran was injured and it wasn’t safe to stay at home alone.
Therefore, Li Shun and Little Huzi stayed behind while Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng came out to pick up Zhao Xiu and Li Xiaoqing.
When they reached a side road in the village, they saw several strong men approaching from a short distance.
As soon as Luo Cheng saw an unfamiliar face, he became vigilant.
Li Xiaoran also stopped and stared at the group of people not far away while frowning.
“They’re coming for us, Luo Cheng! We might drag you down!”
Luo Cheng thought of something when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words, so he grabbed Li Xiaoran’s hand and ran back.
Before long, they turned into a forest. Before the people behind caught up, Luo Cheng carried Li Xiaoran and jumped onto a very tall tree.
“Sit on it. Don’t be afraid! I’ll protect you!” Luo Cheng said in Li Xiaoran’s ear. He placed her on a branch with three branches and jumped down.
After that, Luo Cheng ran toward where he had just run in.
Because he was sitting high up and there were lush trees below, Li Xiaoran couldn’t see what was going on below.
As soon as Luo Cheng ran out, he saw the unfamiliar burly men chasing after him, so he stood there and looked at them.
“If you know what’s good for you, take out the tiger bones in your hand. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being ruthless!” One of the burly men with a scar on his face glared at Luo Cheng and threatened him.
When Luo Cheng heard this, he snorted and said, “Do you know who I am? You actually came to find trouble with me without asking around. I think you’re the ones who are too bold!”
“Brother Scarface, why are you wasting your breath on him? As long as we capture him, we can have anything we want!” Another man with a mean-looking face instigated.
As soon as he finished speaking, the scar-faced man understood what his buddy meant. He pulled something out of his sleeve and scattered some powder-like things at Luo Cheng.
Seeing this, Luo Cheng knew that this thing must be something like poison, so he quickly held his breath and retreated.
Seeing that he had failed, the scar-faced man quickly chased after Luo Cheng.
Seeing this, the other man followed.
“Don’t run, boy. You can run, but you can’t hide. Some of my buddies are already heading for your house. When the time comes, everything will be ours!” the scarred man shouted as he chased after him.
This voice also reached Li Xiaoran’s ears.
Hence, Li Xiaoran subconsciously looked towards the residence and saw a few people approaching.
Li Xiaoran tensed up. She was worried about her father and Little Huzi’s safety!
