Chapter 53

53 Someone Came at Midnight

To be honest, Luo Cheng admired Li Xiaoran even more. He even liked her to continue growing like this.

Luo Cheng was looking forward to Li Xiaoran’s future.

He wanted to see how outstanding the woman could be in the end!

Luo Cheng even had a feeling that as long as he let go and let Li Xiaoran study and be normal, he would definitely make her the most dazzling star.

In that case, why shouldn’t he try?

Luo Cheng was shocked by the thought that suddenly popped into his mind, but then he was eager to try.

He was already considered a very unique person. Now that he had finally met an interesting and unique person, why not let her mature?

At this moment, Luo Cheng suddenly felt that there seemed to be something to look forward to in his life.

“My life has finally become interesting! I won’t live such a boring life anymore!” Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran and said softly.

Many people didn’t sleep well that night.

Li Yan was thinking about how to find that reishi mushroom and then meet Li Xiaoran’s husband in her previous life.

Li Zhan actually smiled in his sleep. In his dream, he forced Li Shun to tell him where the reishi mushroom was, then sold it and obtained a large sum of money.

With this money, he could do many things he wanted to do!

Li Shun was also pondering how to become independent when he fell asleep.

The moon crept into the treetops. Everything was quiet.

In this quiet environment, Li Xiaoran had already fallen asleep peacefully.

The sky was dark and the wind was strong.

Luo Cheng was already asleep when he heard some movements in the middle of the night. He immediately opened his eyes.

At that moment, a shadow leaped into the house.

Big Yellow had long noticed this person. However, after smelling his scent, Big Yellow, who had already stood up, lay back down and fell asleep.

The black shadow ran towards Luo Cheng’s room.

As he pushed the door open, a cold sword was pressed against the man’s neck.

“Luo Cheng, do you have to do this! Every time I come, you have to do this. If you’re not tired, I am!” The man in black said.

“Keep your voice down, there’s someone living next door!” Luo Cheng stared at him expressionlessly and said, “Who asked you to dress like this every time you come over?! I’m not Big Yellow, so how would I know who you are?”

“Yes, yes, yes. Of course, you’re not Big Yellow. You don’t have Big Yellow’s ability! Tell me! What exactly happened?! You sent the casino’s thugs to me and didn’t care about anything else. Do you know that I’m in a very difficult position as a county magistrate?!” the black-robed man said.

It turned out that it was none other than the county magistrate of Anhua County, Luo Han.

“You have the ability? If you have the ability, why did you come to me in the middle of the night?” Luo Cheng retorted.

“Hey, don’t mention it! I’m here to talk to you about something serious! I have someone in my hands. He’s a key figure, but unfortunately, he’s a tough nut to crack. I’ve tried everything but can’t get him to talk. I want to send him to you. Help me pry his mouth open!” Luo Han changed his previous teasing look and became serious.

“I’m not helping!” Luo Cheng refused immediately.

“You, how can you do this?! You won’t even help a buddy when he’s in trouble?!” Luo Han said angrily.

Luo Cheng glanced at the other man without changing his gaze.

“Don’t forget who I am! There are a lot of things you’d better not involve me in, or you’ll be in even bigger trouble!”

“I know who you are, and I know your situation. I don’t need you to remind me! But Luo Cheng, do you really think you can get a stable life by lying low?” Luo Han demanded, staring at him.

“Aren’t I living a stable life? I’ve even married a wife and will have children in the future. I think this kind of calm and peaceful farming life!” Luo Cheng replied, still unmoved.

“Hmph! Luo Cheng, you don’t even believe your own words! To be honest, you’re a coward. You only know how to escape and don’t know how to face things. Do you really think you can avoid everything by lying low? Let me tell you, it’s impossible! You’re destined to be a dazzling star. Even in this wilderness, you can’t suppress your charm. Your buddies will still find you!” Luo Han was so angry that he pointed at Luo Cheng’s nose and scolded.

“I told you to keep your voice down! My wife lives next door! Things are different now. It’s not convenient for me!” Luo Cheng replied.

Luo Han was so angry that he wanted to stomp his foot!

When had this guy become like this? He was so stubborn.

Angry as h.e.l.l, Luo Han suddenly remembered something and laughed.

“I haven’t been here long! You told me to keep my voice down twice. It seems that you treat your wife a little differently! Do you not want that wife of yours to know your ident.i.ty? Luo Cheng, are you going to help me? If you don’t, I’ll go and gossip in front of that wife of yours tomorrow!”

Luo Cheng turned around and looked Luo Han up and down.

“It’s not that I look down on you, but even ten of you are no match for her!”

“Gee, you’re so protective! Even if you say so, I don’t believe it! Luo Cheng, how about we make a bet? If I succeed in arousing the suspicion of your wife, how about you help me?” Luo Han thought of something and his eyes lit up as he stared at Luo Cheng.

This time, Luo Cheng readily agreed.

“Sure! Go ahead. If you can make her suspicious of me, I’ll help you!”

Luo Han immediately brightened up when he heard that.

“That’s good! I’m sleepy! Come, let’s sleep together!”

“Scram! Go sleep on the floor yourself!” Luo Cheng said coldly while glancing at Luo Han.

“You want me, a county magistrate, to sleep on the floor?”

“If you don’t want to, get lost!” Luo Cheng snapped.

“There are so many empty rooms in your house. What’s wrong with letting me sleep overnight?” Luo Han was really angry now.

“I told you, it’s not convenient now! I have a wife, in-laws, and a sister-in-law. Tell me, what do you want to do if you don’t want to sleep on the floor here?” Luo Cheng demanded.

As soon as Luo Han heard this, he thought for a moment and then sighed.

“If that’s the case, it’s indeed inconvenient! Forget it! I’ll sleep on the bamboo couch!”

With that, Luo Han went to the cabinet to grab a blanket and padding. Then he went to the bamboo bed, spread the padding, covered himself with the blanket, and fell asleep.
