Chapter 169

169 The Mastermind

Li Xiaoran naturally knew what Luo Cheng was going to do, so she thought for a moment and reminded him.

“That woman is very scheming. Husband, be careful!”

Luo Cheng nodded, then turned and left.

Li Shun and Zhao Xiu watched their son-in-law leave and came to Li Xiaoran’s side.

“Daughter, is there something wrong?!” Li Shun asked.

“Father, Mother, don’t worry! With Luo Cheng around, nothing will happen!” Li Xiaoran persuaded.

“That’s right. Father, Mother, it’s useless to worry. We might as well attend to our own affairs! Let’s go boil water and wash our faces and feet! Today was another busy day. I want to rest early!” Li Xiaoqing ran over and persuaded them.

Li Shun and Zhao Xiu looked at each other and nodded before going to boil the water.

Seeing that her parents had gone to get busy, Li Xiaoran stood in the darkness and looked at the door.

For some reason, Li Xiaoran had a bad feeling at this moment, as if Luo Cheng would definitely encounter something bad when he went out.

After Li Xiaoran and the others left, Guan Dongshan didn’t hide anything. He called his wife and child together to talk about this matter.

“Hui’er, we were deceived by those people back then! We thought that we had met good people and were grateful to them, as if they were our benefactors. In reality, Kang’er was just a lab rat that was testing medicine for others. Fortunately, Kang’er’s congenital physical weakness was accidentally cured and he became a normal person. However, some time ago, there were rumors that there was a medicine person. They said that the blood of medicine person who had taken herbs for a long time had a miraculous effect and could treat many illnesses, so countless people coveted it.”

“So, those people wanted you to bring Kang’er back now to divert danger from them and put our family in danger to protect another person?” He Hui wasn’t a fool. When she heard her man’s words, she quickly understood.

“Father, Mother, my blood has no effect! They tested it!” Guan Kang said.

Guan Dongshan and He Hui were in disbelief.

He Hui even pulled Guan Kang into her arms and wanted to roll up his sleeve to see if he had any wounds.

“Mother, they p.r.i.c.ked my finger and took some blood to verify it! The wound has already healed!” Guan Kang knew that his mother was worried about him, so he explained.

“I’ve been grateful to these people all these years. I didn’t expect them to treat you like this!” He Hui’s eyes reddened and tears fell.

Their son was hurt, so their hearts ached.

They didn’t know in the past, but now that they knew that their son had suffered so much, how could they not feel sorry for their son?

“Mother, actually, I’m very glad that I had such an opportunity to recuperate! As for the rest, just treat it as me repaying their kindness!” Guan Kang, who was already eleven years old, wiped the tears off He Hui’s face with his sleeve. “After all, without them, I wouldn’t have been able to stand in front of you healthily!”

When He Hui heard her son’s words, she suppressed her heartache and nodded.

“Okay, I’m not sad! I’m very happy!”

Guan Dongshan looked at his sensible son and made up his mind to protect his wife and children.

At this moment, Luo Cheng and Luo Ziyang brought the woman back to the Guan family.

After Luo Cheng and Luo Ziyang brought her in, He Hui brought Guan Kang to the room on the other side to avoid all this.

The three of them brought the woman to the firewood room at the side and lit the oil lamp.

The woman was still unconscious.

Luo Cheng glanced at Luo Ziyang, who took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket. Then he opened the cork and waved it in front of the woman’s nose.

Soon, the woman opened her eyes.

When the woman saw the three men in front of her, she immediately giggled.

“How nice! I didn’t expect to meet three handsome men in this small village at the same time! Why? Do you want to go through thick and thin with me?”

“Behave yourself. It seems that you haven’t suffered enough!” Luo Ziyang scolded with a cold expression.

When the woman heard Luo Ziyang’s words, she thought of something and her expression changed.

After putting away her unrestrained look, the woman looked at Guan Dongshan.

“Guan Dongshan, do you think I’m the only one who came? I’m afraid you’re thinking too simply!”

As soon as the woman said this, Guan Dongshan’s expression changed.

At this moment, a few men in black grabbed He Hui and Guan Kang and walked over.

“Let her go and I’ll spare your wife and child!” a man in black said with a knife to Guan Kang’s neck.

Seeing this, Luo Cheng and Luo Ziyang frowned at the same time.

When had these people appeared? Why hadn’t they noticed before?

“See! I told you, I’m not the only one!” The woman said and laughed again.

Luo Cheng and Luo Ziyang were afraid that the other party would hurt He Hui and Guan Kang, so they didn’t dare to attack rashly.

“Don’t do anything rash. Don’t hurt my wife and children!” Guan Dongshan said nervously.

“Guan Dongshan, don’t worry! As long as you don’t make a move, we naturally won’t hurt your wife and child!” The leader of the men in black stared at Luo Cheng and Luo Ziyang and said, “Especially your two friends, don’t move!”

When Guan Dongshan heard the other party’s words, he looked at Luo Cheng and Luo Ziyang.

Luo Cheng met Guan Dongshan’s gaze and nodded. “Uncle Guan, don’t worry. We won’t risk Aunt Hui and Kang’er’s lives!”

“You heard us. We won’t move!” Guan Dongshan turned to look at Luo Cheng again.

“How are you?” The leader of the men in black looked at the woman.

The woman stood up slowly now, then laughed.

“I’m fine. My internal energy has been sealed, but my body is fine!”

With that, the woman slowly walked towards the man in black.

Guan Dongshan thought of something and explained, “You’re looking for the wrong person. My son’s blood has no effect at all!”

“We heard your family’s previous conversation. Don’t worry, Guan Dongshan. As long as your son’s blood is really ineffective, we won’t come again. But before that, we have to take some of your son’s blood!” the leader said.

When Guan Kang heard the other party’s words, he immediately said, “Let my mother go! I’ll give you some blood now!”

“Kang’er!” Guan Dongshan and He Hui exclaimed.

“Father, Mother, it’s fine. It’s just a little blood!” Guan Kang looked at his parents and said indifferently.
