Back to the 90s: I Helped the Beautiful Factory Manager Become an Arms Tycoon
Chapter 55 Exploiting Their Compassion
"Thank you so much this time. If it weren't for your help, I don't know where my daughter would be. You are truly my family's benefactors."
"Please come inside, my two benefactors. It's so late. If you don't mind, you can rest here for the night so we can repay your kindness."
The woman quickly bowed to them in gratitude and warmly hoped they would stay.
Qiu Meizi waved her hand and refused directly, saying, "No need for that. It's just a small favor. Now that the child is back, we'll head back first. We have other things to do tomorrow."
Upon hearing Qiu Meizi's refusal, a hint of panic flashed in the little girl's eyes, and then she gripped Qiu's hand tightly.
"Sister, please come inside and sit down. Dad has always taught me to be grateful and repay kindness. If he finds out that I haven't even repaid my benefactors, he definitely won't let me off the hook."
After the little girl finished speaking, she grabbed Qiu Meizi and started crying, as if Qiu Meizi had bullied her.
The woman looked slightly embarrassed and quickly pulled the little girl over, saying helplessly, "Qiaoqiao was just talking nonsense, please don't take it to heart. We are just very grateful to you and wanted to invite you to stay for a meal. We have no other intentions."
The mother and daughter worked together so well that it seemed like Lin Yunhai and his group would be doing them a disservice if they didn't go in and sit down.
Qiu Meizi looked at Lin Yunhai with some difficulty.
Lin Yunhai smiled and said, "Since you've said so, my wife and I will go in and sit down."
“My sister-in-law has raised Qiaoqiao very well, and we shouldn’t undermine her values.”
Hearing that Lin Yunhai was willing to go in, both mother and daughter breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Qiu Meizi didn't understand what Lin Yunhai wanted to do, she still followed him inside.
The little girl's family was not wealthy; their house was old and dilapidated, and the family lived in a simple three-bedroom apartment.
However, one advantage of this type of self-built house is that it has a large yard.
The little girl's mother is a person who loves life. Her yard is full of blooming flowers, making it very beautiful.
However, Qiu Meizi noticed something was wrong as soon as she went in. The flowers themselves were fine, but the problem was that they were arranged together.
The pollen from three of these flowers can be used to make aphrodisiacs with a very strong effect, enough to affect a strong, adult man.
Did the person who planted the flowers genuinely not know their purpose, or did they do it on purpose?
Although Lin Yunhai wasn't very knowledgeable about pharmacology, he had studied traditional Chinese medicine and knew some of the ingredients used in making sedatives, and he had recently noticed something was wrong.
Seeing that Qiu Meizi was about to ask a question, Lin Yunhai squeezed her hand and shook his head slightly, signaling her not to say anything more.
After passing through the small courtyard, they arrived at the main hall.
The room was lit by a kerosene lamp, but the light was dim and it was not very clear.
After inviting the two to sit down, the woman rubbed the hem of her clothes and said somewhat awkwardly, "Please have some water first. My husband went out to look for Qiaoqiao and hasn't returned yet. I'll send someone to inform him right away."
After she finished speaking, she poured a glass of hot water for the two of them and then left.
"What exactly do you want? Something's not right here."
Seeing that no one else was around, Qiu Meizi couldn't help but quietly ask Lin Yunhai what he thought.
"Don't worry, I just want to lure out the person behind this. If we don't come in, they'll have to come up with other ways, which will be quite troublesome."
"Are we really in danger?"
Lin Yunhai couldn't guarantee that.
However, he could guarantee that as long as he was alive, he would not let Qiu Meizi get into trouble.
"Don't worry, the fact that they didn't assassinate us directly proves that we are still useful, so we are safe for the time being. Let's cooperate with their act first."
The two hadn't exchanged more than a few words when the little girl came in and stayed by their side.
They seemed afraid that Lin Yunhai and the others would leave.
The little girl's mother returned about ten minutes later, followed by a burly man, who was probably the husband the woman had mentioned.
After the burly man entered, he immediately showed an excited smile and couldn't wait to walk up to Lin Yunhai.
"Young man, I really have to thank you and your wife for what happened tonight."
“Qiaoqiao is our family’s only child. If something really happened to her, my family would be ruined. That woman is useless; she can’t even take care of a child properly. If it weren’t for kind people like you, Qiaoqiao probably wouldn’t have come back.”
The burly man was very enthusiastic and kept thanking Lin Yunhai and his group.
He is a passionate and impulsive person who speaks in a carefree manner and doesn't seem to have any guile.
He was genuinely grateful to Lin Yunhai and his wife, showering them with compliments and even urging his wife to quickly prepare a meal to entertain the guests.
Lin Yunhai wanted to refuse, but it was so late and in an unfamiliar place, how could he possibly eat someone else's food?
But the burly man was so enthusiastic that they couldn't handle it and finally had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
The woman's cooking skills were quite good; although the dishes she made were simple, they were delicious and visually appealing.
Just as Lin Yunhai was about to try it, Qiu Meizi stepped on his foot on the table.
He looked at Qiu Meizi with a puzzled expression, only to see Qiu Meizi shake her head at him.
The two were very humorous and witty. He understood what Qiu Meizi wanted to express, but he couldn't say it. He could only tell her with his eyes to cooperate with the other party's acting first.
What Qiu Meizi wanted to tell him was that something had been added to the food, and if he actually ate it, he might be at the mercy of others.
Lin Yunhai knew there was something in the food, but he still ate, drank, and chatted with the burly man.
As they chatted, he reached up and touched his head, mumbling, "Brother, your liquor is really strong. I've only had two cups, and I already feel dizzy."
After hearing his words, the burly man revealed a meaningful smile, and the feigned honesty and simplicity in his eyes vanished completely.
"This wine is brewed by me personally, so it's naturally a bit strong. You'll get used to it after a few more cups."
After the burly man finished speaking, he forced Lin Yunhai to drink a few more glasses of wine and declared that the two of them would not leave until they were drunk.
Lin Yunhai didn't know how to refuse, and they drank together, one cup at a time. They quickly became completely drunk, and even their speech became slurred.
Seeing him shaking his head and unable to sit still, the burly man revealed a satisfied smile and stopped pretending to be friendly.
"Looks like you're really drunk, which is fine too."
After he finished speaking, his gaze fell on Qiu Meizi, who had been staying by Lin Yunhai's side.
At first, his gaze was just a normal appraiser, as if he were looking at a product.
But soon his eyes changed, filled with desire.
Qiu Meizi had already fainted and was sleeping on the table.
