I became a stepmother and got rich with my cute baby.

Halfway through his words, he suddenly covered his mouth in panic and looked around, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see the jailer.

He looked at Zhao Sheng for help, only to find that Zhao Sheng's body was covered with scars, and it was obvious that he had been beaten many times.

The restaurant owner was stunned, "Boss Zhao, you... you are also tempted?"

Hearing this, Zhao Sheng's face turned grim. He lowered his voice, approached the restaurant owner and said, "If you want to live, you are not allowed to scold City Lord Ji anymore!"

"Why?"

"You don't know, I was tortured when I was first arrested. Every day I was either beaten or about to be beaten. But later I accidentally learned that City Lord Ji liked others to praise him the most and hated others to insult him the most. So I learned to be smart. As long as there were people around, I would praise City Lord Ji for his wisdom. Not only would I not be beaten, but I would also be given delicious food. Later -"

"Guess what?" As he spoke, a strange look of joy appeared on Zhao Sheng's face.

The restaurant owner had a strange look on his face. Zhao Sheng looked like a flattering villain, and the flattering Ji Huaichuan at that!

He stared at him, "How, how is it?"

"Then City Lord Ji heard that I praised him three hundred times a day, and he came to the prison to see me. He told the jailers not to use force on me, and promised me that he would let me out as long as I behaved well!"

"real?"

The restaurant owner was speechless. Ji Huaichuan actually liked others to praise him. He had never seen such a shameless request before!

He was so angry that he wanted to curse, but he caught a glimpse of the jailer's figure appearing in front of him, staring at him coldly.

The restaurant owner shuddered all over and quickly shut up. He then dragged his bloody buttocks to the iron pillar with difficulty, and cried while pulling at the iron pillar: "City Lord Ji is really wise. He was right to teach me a lesson. I will never dare to do it again. City Lord Ji is really a selfless person!"

"Thank you, City Lord Ji, for not killing me. In my next life, I will serve you like a slave and serve you back!"

Zhao Sheng also quickly joined the ranks and began to compliment Ji Huaichuan, "City Lord Ji is suave and handsome. If I, Zhao, had not been incapable, I would have turned into a daughter and followed the City Lord!"

The restaurant owner glanced at Zhao Sheng with disdain, and then began to praise him even more vigorously.

The originally gloomy prison now had a different kind of interest.

City Lord's Mansion.

The smile on Ji Huaichuan's lips grew deeper and deeper. As he listened to his subordinates' reports, his beautiful peach blossom eyes almost narrowed into slits.

He asked with a smile: "Are they sincere?"

"City Lord, Zhao Sheng and Lai Fu both praised you with tears in their eyes, praising you for your elegance, suaveness, and wisdom..."

Ji Huaichuan's laughter was hearty, not harsh, but very loud.

Song Wanqing heard it before she even reached the study door.

She stepped into the study, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Why is City Lord Ji so happy?"

Ji Huaichuan changed the subject and approached her mysteriously, "Miss Song, do you want more land deeds?"

"Oh?" A smile appeared in Song Wanqing's eyes. Only a fool would not want it. Of course he would reach out to take it when it was delivered to his door.

She asked, "Will Lord Ji give it to me?"

"Miss Song, just follow Ji to the cell and you'll find out."

In the dark cell, two figures walked across the corridor and came to Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng took a look and rushed forward with a smile that stretched to his ears. "City Lord Ji, you are here. How can the mighty and busy City Lord have time to come to such a shabby place today? City Lord, please don't dirty your shoes!"

As he said this, he bent down and used his sleeves to wipe Ji Huaichuan's shoes.

The restaurant owner was dumbfounded, but who was Zhao Sheng? He was the boss of a trading company!

Now he has fallen to the point of polishing Ji Huaichuan's shoes. No matter how stupid or dissatisfied he is, he dare not show it. He greeted him with a flattering smile, "Lord City Lord is wise. It is me who was blind and did not recognize the great man. I offended this girl. Now I am in prison and I reflect deeply on myself and change my past. I wish I could bite my tongue and commit suicide..."

As he spoke, he wiped away tears of true emotion. Life in prison was really hard. He couldn't even eat any meat. This was simply a great torture for him.

Song Wanqing's eyes were slightly cold, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his lips, but he did not speak.

Ji Huaichuan glanced at her, then immediately became serious and snorted, "Okay, don't think I don't know what you are thinking."

"I can let you out, but there is a condition." He gathered his sleeves, his eyes dark, like a poisonous snake in the dark, spitting out its tongue dangerously.

The two men immediately fell silent. They felt a chill on their backs as if being stared at by Ji Huaichuan. "City Lord, just tell me, as long as you can let me out, I will do anything for you!"

Song Wanqing had already guessed what he was going to say, and just glanced at the two people in the cell with a slightly sympathetic look.

"Return all the land deeds that you forced to buy before, and you can leave here." Ji Huaichuan spoke calmly without changing his expression.

He turned his gaze to the restaurant owner beside him: "You too."

The aura was so cold and indifferent that the two of them shrank back in fear.

Zhao Sheng thought of those land deeds, they were all money! A trace of courage inexplicably rose in his heart. Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, he saw Ji Huaichuan's sword-like eyes shooting straight at him.

"Why? Boss Zhao doesn't want to? Or do you want to continue staying in this prison?"

Zhao Sheng immediately shut up. Staying here would be more painful than killing him!

They were beaten at any time and never had enough food to eat.

He made up his mind, suppressed his grievances, and said with a flattering smile: "How dare I? Those land deeds were not originally mine, how can I occupy them by force? They should be handed over to you to deal with."

Ji Huaichuan nodded with satisfaction, but there was danger in his eyes, "Boss Zhao is indeed a man who knows the times."

Zhao Sheng wiped the cold sweat dripping from his forehead and quickly lowered his head to avoid Ji Huaichuan's gaze.

"What about you?" He looked at the restaurant owner at the side, "Do you have any opinions?"

"How could that be?" The restaurant owner was also a smart man. Seeing Zhao Sheng being humiliated, he didn't dare to say another word even though he was reluctant.

Ji Huaichuan nodded with satisfaction: "That's good."

Song Wanqing stood aside and looked away quietly.

How could the person who could capture Xuancheng be as casual as he seemed? He was just a smiling tiger, the kind who would eat people without leaving any bones behind.

Of course, these two people deserve to eat!

"My land deeds are all in the secret compartment under the mattress in the bedroom of my mansion. You can send someone to get them now." Zhao Sheng said hurriedly.

The restaurant owner was afraid of being left behind, so he also told them where he kept the title deeds.

Ji Huaichuan immediately sent someone to look for him.

"Don't worry, bosses. Once we get the land deeds, you will be released from here." He was obviously in a very good mood, and the smile between his eyebrows finally no longer implied any crisis.

The two of them naturally thanked him profusely and praised him again.

Song Wanqing was speechless. Ji Huaichuan seemed to be enjoying it, but she was about to vomit after listening to him.
