Chapter 33: Give Her An Opportunity
Su Ruoqing agreed, but she was very confused. Leng Yuhe suddenly came home to tell her these, so something important must have happened. But since he did not want to say, she did not ask more.
After Leng Yuhe returned to his bedroom to rest, Su Ruoqing called Adjutant Xu.
“As soon as Young General got home today, he asked me to be more careful recently and prepared to send more people to protect me. Is something wrong?”
“Madam, since Young General didn’t tell you why, he must have his reasons. I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to discuss more about that.”
Su Ruoqing thought for a while, “But Young General is at rest at this time, so I’m not allowed to disturb him. I’m going to go out and see my friend later. If I don’t know what has happened on earth, I can’t get prepared accordingly. I might be in danger no matter how many people I bring to protect me. Is this what Young General wants to see?”
Her words were so clever that no one could talk back.
Adjutant Xu lowered his head and pondered for a long time and finally agreed.
Su Ruoqing smiled with gratitude.
“Madam, this is the case…”
After hearing Adjutant Xu’s words, Su Ruoqing felt like laughing inwardly. It was difficult of Leng Yuhe to do this, but it was a great joy for her and her anger eased a lot.
“Madam, it’s reasonable of Young General to worry. Please pay attention to it. I saw that Miss Su’s eyes were full of hatred and maybe she would do something to hurt you.”
Adjutant Xu spoke sincerely, and Su Ruoqing was a little moved, “I know. Thank you for everything today.”
“Not at all, Madam. Young General has long ordered that you should be treated equally as him. Everything I did today is within my duty. If there is nothing else, I will step down first.”
After Adjutant Xu left, Su Ruoqing sat in the hall and was lost in thought. According to her understanding of Su Zhiyou, that woman would never let go. As she couldn’t take revenge on Leng Yuhe, she could only take revenge on her.
Just as she was thinking, Leng Yuhe woke up and went downstairs.
“I’m hungry, Qing.” Leng Yuhe looked bleary-eyed, making Su Ruoqing laugh.
“I’ll make you something delicious.”
“Wait.” Leng Yuhe grabbed Su Ruoqing’s hand and asked her to sit down, “I’ve been busy with work lately and have not stayed home for long. I don’t know if you blame me.”
Su Ruoqing touched his dashing eyebrows gently, “Of course not! I know you’re busy with serious affairs. How could I blame you?”
“Moreover, Ming Zhu often comes to accompany me, so I’m not bored. Right, I’ve also applied for a lot of training courses.”
“Oh, what kind of training courses is it?” Leng Yuhe held Su Ruoqing in his arms, smelled her fresh breath and kissed the thin hair of her forehead.
Su Ruoqing tickled a little and shrank her neck, “It’s some etiquette training courses. All students are ladies. I’ve never been exposed to these classes before. I will be your wife, and I’ll naturally study hard and never get you humiliated.”
“Thank you, Qing.”
Leng Yuhe always felt relaxed and warm when Su Ruoqing was with him and he couldn’t enjoy this elsewhere.
On the dim street, Su Zhiyou was looking for the hoodlums who had stopped her last time. She couldn’t carry out her next plan until she found them.
“Look over there, guys. Is it that bitch last time?”
“Yes, Boss. It’s her.”
The hoodlums spotted Su Zhiyou before she found them, and they immediately came over and surrounded her completely, “We’ve met again so soon. I think you never expected this.”
Su Zhiyou snorted coldly, “Never expected? I come here today specially to look for you.”
The hoodlums laughed dirtily, “Look for us? You were taken away last time and didn’t stay together with us, and I guess you regret it now.” After that, they surrounded her and laughed unkindly.
Su Zhiyou was a little scared, but she resisted the fear. She opened the bag and took out a lot of cash.
“Stop your trivial thoughts now. I come today to talk business with you.” After that, she threw all the money on the ground.
The hoodlums looked at so much money and restrained themselves a lot. The head of the hoodlums
picked up the money and looked serious.
“What kind of business is it?”
Seeing they took the money, Su Zhiyou was quite relieved and snorted, “Since it’s good business, I guarantee that you can play with women and get a lot of money.”
The leader snorted and shook the cash in his hand, “You want to send us away with so little money. Do you think treating us as beggars is the proper way to talk business with us?” He reached out to grasp Su Zhiyou as he said that.
Su Zhiyou stepped backward and hurriedly took out another stack of cash, “I have much money, and naturally I will give you enough. As long as you can help me get things done, there will be more reward in the future. Take the cash today as beer money.”
Seeing that she was lavish and her clothes were very luxurious, the hoodlums finally believed her.
“What can we do for you, Miss? My name is Lao Qi. As long as you keep you promise and pay us properly, we will naturally do everything we can to help you get things done.”
“Forthright! I like to talk business with forthright
people. It’s not hard business. Tomorrow, you will catch one maid of Young General’s Residence and deliver her to me.”
Hearing of Young General’s Residence, they were a little afraid. Seeing the embarrassment on their faces, Su Zhiyou continued, “What are you afraid of? It is just a maid. Would Young General care about the life of a maid? I just need one maid to ask questions. After business is done this time, I’ll give you ten times the amount of money today.”
Tempted by the amount, they finally nodded and agreed.
“The day after tomorrow, you must bring one here at noon. I will come here to look for you then. Don’t look for me in the future no matter what happens. I will come here on time to look for you, got it?”
“Got it.”
Su Zhiyou completed the first step of her revenge plan and left with satisfaction.
The next day, the hoodlums watched at the door of General Leng’s Residence, and prepared to catch one when the maids went out.
However, all of this was discovered by the guards in secret. Then they went in to report to Su Ruoqing.
“Got it. Leave it alone and watch what they will do next.” Su Ruoqing knew that these people must have been sent by Su Zhiyou. As for what the specific purpose was, she still didn’t know, and she could only adopt a long-term plan to secure something big.
The maid who was in charge of buying food went out, and the hoodlums immediately followed her, while the guards followed them behind quietly. The wolf has a winning game when the shepherds quarrel.
As the hoodlums were about to succeed, the guards suddenly appeared, and the hoodlums hurriedly fled as they realized they were discovered.
The guards reported what had happened to Su Ruoqing faithfully. She thought carefully for just a moment and got the point, ‘It must be that Su Zhiyou sent people to catch the maid in order to figure out the time I go out, so that she could pick a proper time to hurt me. Why don’t I give her an opportunity and lead her scheme?’
At noon, all the servants were at home. Su Ruoqing asked the housekeeper to gather the servants together because there was something to arrange, and the housekeeper immediately complied.
Standing in front of the servants, Su Ruoqing looked majestic, “General Leng often stays out recently. From tomorrow, I will often go out to study in the morning and I won’t be home until noon, so neither of us will be staying home as much as we used to. You must do your duty well. Don’t be lazy, understand?”
“Yes, Madam.”
The servants did not understand why she suddenly said these inexplicable words and thought Su Ruoqing wanted to show her power in this residence, so no one cared too much after they answered.
The next day, the hoodlums watched at the gate of Young General’s Residence again. They had to finish the task to get money.
The guards found them and came in to report it again, but Su Ruoqing said that they should ignore it and pretend not to see it. Although puzzled, the guards complied as they thought about what General Leng had told them.
The maid in charge of purchasing went out on time as usual, and the hoodlums immediately followed her. This time, they successfully caught the maid without the intervention of the guards
and brought her to the place they had originally agreed to with Su Zhiyou.
At noon, Su Zhiyou came with her face fully covered.
“Is everything ready?”
“Of course. But we must take a look at the reward before we can give you the person.”
Su Zhiyou took out a thick pile of cash wrapped in paper, “Here is the money. Bring me the person I want.”
The head counted the money roughly and laughed, and then he pushed the little maid out.
The young girl had of course never seen this. She was so frightened that she shivered and curled up at the corner of the wall. Su Zhiyou pinched her face, “Tell me. What’s Su Ruoqing’s schedule of going out recently? If you don’t tell me, I’ll kill you and leave your body here.”
The hoodlums coordinated with her and played with bright army knives. The maid cried out in horror, “I’m just a girl in charge of buying food. I really don’t know.”
Su Zhiyou pushed her viciously, “You’re still stubborn. It seems that we really need to teach you a lesson.”
She winked at Lao Qi, and he approached the little maid tacitly with a knife and patted her innocent face with the cold blade, “I advise you to tell us quickly, otherwise I will cut your face. Even if you manage to stay alive, you will be disfigured.”
“No. I will tell you…”
The little maid’s voice trembled, “I really don’t know about the schedule of the Young Madam’s routine. I just know she said today that she would go out to study after she got up in the morning and couldn’t come home until noon in the future. I really don’t know anything else. Let me go, please…”
As she heard the news she wanted, Su Zhiyou smiled contentedly. She thought as long as Su Ruoqing went out, she would find a chance to deal with her.
“Very good. Since you’re obedient, I’ll let you go. But if you dare tell them what happened today, I am afraid you will lose your life soon.”
