Chapter 702 Fat People Are All Potential Stocks 29
According to Chen Qiang, the carriage plunged off a cliff, but Chen Qiang managed to jump out.

But Yuan Bao, who was sitting in the carriage, was not so lucky. His body was not so flexible, and he fell off the carriage along with it.

Chen Qiang was subsequently dismissed.

Because of what happened to his master's family, no one in Xiangcheng would hire him as a coachman anymore, and I heard that he went back to his hometown.

Chen Qiang was bribed because his son back in his hometown was seriously ill and urgently needed money, so he borrowed money from people around him.

After hearing about this, Hu Yunjiao conspired with Jin Yichuan and the two made a deal with Chen Qiang.

Chen Qiang could no longer stay in Xiangcheng, nor could he find a job driving a car here.

He had already promised Hu Jin and his companion that they should leave the area to avoid being exposed.

Now, Jin Yichuan suddenly sent a note pointing to the name Chen Qiang. Hu Yunjiao knew that he was threatening her.

Chen Qiang's matter must not be known to a fourth person, otherwise she will not only lose everything she has now, but may also be arrested by the police and questioned.

Hu Yunjiao has no connections; if she goes to jail, she will definitely be sentenced.

Thinking about why Jin Yichuan caused trouble at the entrance of Yuan's residence a couple of days ago, Hu Yunjiao guessed that he probably wanted her to pay for his prostitution.

So the next morning, Hu Yunjiao took her hidden silver and left the Yuan residence without her maid.

When she came to a secluded alley, she stopped and lingered.

Before long, a man with disheveled hair and tattered clothes, who looked like a beggar, turned into the alley.

The person who arrived was Jin Yichuan.

Without money, it's impossible to move an inch in a place like Xiangcheng.

Jin Yichuan's injuries from the beating had not fully healed; his face was still swollen, his body had many bruises, and he was slurring his words.

He had no money to see a doctor and could only hope that his injuries would heal on their own soon, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to work.

Most importantly, the three-day deadline for Qing Shuang Lou is fast approaching.

This is something that urgently needs to be addressed.

Upon meeting Hu Yunjiao, he stated his request directly: "Help me pay off my debts, and then give me some more money."

Hu Yunjiao looked at the disheveled person in front of her. He was covered in dirt and grime because his injuries had not healed, and his clothes were tattered. He looked dirty and slovenly.

Jin Yichuan no longer looks as handsome as before.

A feeling of disgust welled up in Hu Yunjiao's heart.

This person is completely useless now; on the contrary, because they know my secret, they are a very troublesome presence.

Hu Yunjiao just wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, so that others wouldn't see that they were still seeing each other and make wild guesses.

So Hu Yunjiao took out a money bag and handed it to Jin Yichuan.

"The money in here is enough to pay off your prostitution fees, get your injuries treated, and even rent a place. Once you're fully healed, quickly find a job to support yourself."

After leaving the Yuan family, we have no further relationship. Don't contact me again.

After saying that, Hu Yunjiao prepared to turn around and leave.

Jin Yichuan opened the money bag, roughly counted the amount, and finally felt much more at ease.

However, he was quite displeased to hear Hu Yunjiao so eager to distance herself from him, so he grabbed Hu Yunjiao's arm.

Startled by the sudden grabbing of such a dirty hand, Hu Yunjiao let out a short scream and instinctively tried to shake off the hand.

But her strength was no match for Jin Yichuan, a grown man. Seeing Hu Yunjiao's frightened and disgusted expression, Jin Yichuan was furious.

He leaned close to Hu Yunjiao and said threateningly, "Want to sever ties with me? You're dreaming. We've been on the same pirate ship for so long, don't even think about abandoning me and getting off the ship alone!"

After saying these harsh words, Jin Yichuan snorted heavily, then turned and left the alley.

Hu Yunjiao was freed from Jin Yichuan's grasp, but she felt no joy at all.

Jin Yichuan's words had frightened her.

What people fear most is not the threat of "you'll regret it if you don't pay back the money" from Qing Shuang Lou, but rather the threat of someone having something on them that could be used against them at any time to make demands.

Hu Yunjiao's back was covered in cold sweat, and she felt weak in her hands and feet, even feeling like she couldn't walk.

She never expected that their close relationship, which had been one of mutual affection and shared hatred of the enemy not long ago, would suddenly turn into such a confrontational and threatening relationship.

Hu Yunjiao didn't have time to care about the gray-black handprints on her clean clothes; all she wanted to do was return to the Yuan family immediately.

Feeling dazed and confused, Hu Yunjiao returned to her room and immediately asked her maid to bring her hot water.

After a relaxing bath, Hu Yunjiao felt much clearer-headed.

She decided to tackle the problem directly at its source.

The biggest threat to her right now is Chen Qiang. As long as she can figure out how to deal with this coachman, she won't be afraid of Jin Yichuan's threat.

So she wrote a letter and had her trusted maid secretly send it out; the recipient was Chen Qiang.

Hu Yunjiao didn't say much in the letter, only inquiring about his recent situation, whether he had any difficulties, and offering to help if needed.

The letter ended with a seemingly casual remark, wishing his family well.

The subtext of this statement is that Chen Qiang should keep his mouth shut and not reveal the truth about the carriage incident, otherwise he will definitely be sentenced, which will implicate his family.

But to my surprise, the letter disappeared without a trace, and I received no reply for a long time.

Hu Yunjiao could only console herself that Chen Qiang was probably busy with his son's illness and didn't have time to reply to the letter for the time being.

However, someone's message arrived much faster than Chen Qiang's reply.

It was still Jin Yichuan's note, with only one word written on it: Xia.

Hu Yunjiao felt a little short of breath. She didn't understand why the Yuan family's security measures had been so lax lately. Why could anyone pass her a note?
However, Hu Yunjiao's focus is now more on this word.

She used to be a performer in a theatrical troupe.

Before being sold to a theatrical troupe by her parents when she was a child, her name was Hu Xia.

When the opera troupe was performing in a village, Yuan Bao, who was passing through on a business trip, saw her and fell in love with her at first sight.

Yuan Bao intervened and negotiated with the opera troupe, eventually buying Hu Yunjiao back.

In this era, even though they were all bought and brought back, Hu Yunjiao, who came from an actress background, was not much more noble than Chunci and others from Yuejinlou.

She hadn't even told Yuan Bao about changing her name; she only mentioned it when she was chatting with Jin Yichuan in bed, and they were talking about the past when their feelings were running high.

Now Jin Yichuan writes "霞" (xia), and the meaning is quite clear.

It means, "I know a lot of your secrets, I have all your weaknesses, you better behave and satisfy me, or I'll expose them all."

Jin Yichuan is now like someone with nothing to lose, and Hu Yunjiao, being in the Yuan family, has many things to consider, so she will definitely be afraid of his threats.
