Li Rou's mind was full of money at the moment, as if she was possessed by a greedy ghost. Seeing that Xing Xiu did not move, she started kowtowed without thinking, and she didn't care if her head was swollen and bleeding.
Everyone gasped when looking at this crazy woman. It was just her money that was stolen. Is that a big deal? Could it be that the money was more important than her life?
Xing Xiu lowered his eyes to glance at her bleeding forehead, his lips pressed into a straight line, not knowing what he was thinking.
Li Rou thought he was moved by her helplessness when her money was robbed, and she cried even more miserably and heartbrokenly. There was no one here, so she could only ask them for help.
"Let's go." Xing Xiu didn't give Li Rou much time to figure out his thoughts. He turned around and left with his bodyguards, leaving Li Rou sitting on the ground in a daze.
She didn't feel relieved until she saw Xing Xiu and his car chasing the car that had just robbed her money.
However, this sense of relief did not last for five seconds before she saw Xing Xiu and his car returning the same way, then speeding up and disappearing with a bang.
She was devastated. What had happened? Weren't they helping her recover the money? Why had they turned around? What about her lost money?
Li Rou sat on the ground like a fool for a long time before getting up. She looked at this place where there was no village or shop nearby with her red and swollen eyes. She gritted her teeth and continued on foot.
I was walking with reluctance. I was about to take this huge amount of money with my family to live a life of wealth and glory abroad, but who knew I would be robbed. If I had known this would happen, I would have written a check...
Check, Li Rou suddenly thought of something, took out her cell phone and took a look, but there was still no signal, so she forced herself to speed up.
Greed flashed in her eyes again. She remembered that the man had said that she could choose any cash or check.
But at that time, she was so stimulated by the stacks of red banknotes that her brain stopped working, so she blurted out the cash.
No one knew that when she saw the money, her eyelids trembled and her heart beat fast.
As a beast of burden at the bottom of society, she had never seen so much money before. She could not resist the temptation at all. Anyone who could resist it must be a fool.
But now that her money has been stolen, perhaps she can...
Li Rou walked for nearly an hour before her cell phone got a signal. Seeing the flashing signal, she was ecstatic. She took a deep breath and then exhaled.
After adjusting her emotional state, she finally called the other party.
The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up. Li Rou knew that the other party was busy, so she didn't dare to delay and spoke directly to the point.
When the other party heard her words, his eyebrows raised where she couldn't see, and his tone was a little dissatisfied, "Why do you suddenly want to change to checks?"
Li Rou lied without blushing. "Cash is fine, but it's not safe for a girl like me to carry so much money. Besides, it's not easy to go through security checks when I fly abroad. I'm worried about being scammed."
Scams have indeed been rampant in Country K recently, so the man didn't think much about Li Rou's words and readily agreed, "Okay, at the usual place. I'll have someone deliver your check now."
"Okay, thank you sir."
Li Rou naturally didn't dare to say that the cash was lost. Of course, she had already thought of words to fool the other party.
That is, she originally wanted to bring cash to exchange for a check, but she was spotted on the way there, so she had to wait until next time.
park.
When Li Rou arrived, the man looked impatient and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
"Where's the suitcase?" The man's face became even uglier when he saw that she didn't bring the suitcase.
Li Rou felt a little nervous when she met his gloomy gaze, but fortunately the cold weather concealed her emotions well.
She pretended to be frozen, put her hands to her lips, and took deep breaths to warm herself, but in fact she was doing it to relieve her tension.
The man saw that her face was pale from the cold, and she breathed on it to warm herself up, dispelling some of the coldness, and took out a check from her inner pocket.
Li Rou's eyes lit up when she saw this. She reached out to grab it, but the man gave her a sinister look and frightened her away. "Let me ask you something. Where's the box?"
"I..." Li Rou acted weak and helpless, as if frightened by his ferocity, looking pitiful.
"I was targeted by some thugs on the way here, so I didn't dare to carry the box here. But don't worry, sir, I have hidden the box in a very safe place. I will give it to you when I find a chance." Li Rou said it with great sincerity.
The man frowned secretly, thinking that a woman like her would not dare to play any tricks on him, and handed over the check in his hand.
Li Rou took it with trembling hands, bending down repeatedly to express her gratitude.
The man ignored her and turned away.
Not far away, Xing Xiu, who had seen everything, told Yin Junye what had happened. Yin Junye smiled and said, "Very good, the fish has taken the bait."
Xing Xiu was puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions. He knew that Master Yin must have his reasons for doing this.
"Keep an eye on her and make sure she has the check."
After giving the instructions, Yin Junye hung up the phone.
In the alley leading to Xiuzhi's residence.
Ruan Zheng's thin figure walked on the road, surrounded by chaos and dead silence.
It was already past 9 o'clock, but there were only a handful of people walking on the street.
Occasionally, passersby who passed by her looked at her with inquiring eyes. Her incompatible dress and temperament made them curious about Ruan Zheng.
Ruan Zheng ignored their glances and carefully searched for Xiuzhi's residence.
Finally seeing the house number, she knocked on the door.
When Xiuzhi heard the knock on the door, she frowned at first, then realized that it might be Lu Mian again, so she walked to the door and opened it with a creak.
When their eyes met, Xiuzhi saw that it was Ruan Zheng. Her breathing became uneven and her emotions tense. "Miss Ruan, why are you here?"
After asking this, Xiuzhi couldn't help but slap herself on the head, and deep wrinkles appeared on her weathered face.
"Lu Mian asked you to come, right? Is he crazy? Why would he let you come to a place like this?"
Xiuzhi touched her cell phone while accusing them, and glanced outside. It seemed that several people were looking at them, so she quickly pulled Ruan Zheng into the room.
Her voice was filled with worry. "Miss Ruan, you shouldn't have come here. There are all kinds of people here. What if someone gets hurt?"
