Chapter 952 Getting into trouble
Gui'er suddenly remembered the pistol she kept in the safe, so she said, "Wait a minute." She quickly ran to get it and handed it to A-Si and A-Cheng, saying, "Just make sure they can escape. Be very careful."
The two nodded, turned and ran away. Wu Mingqiang had already driven the car away, so they had to walk. They didn't even know if they could catch up.
Dingxiang said worriedly, "Miss, there are only three of them. They probably can't beat them. Don't you know Young Master Song, Brother Chen who runs the bookstore, and your classmates? Hurry up and ask them for help."
Gui'er patiently advised her, "Dingxiang, don't worry. They're not going to fight; they're just going to rescue someone. If they can't, they should come back quickly. Wu Mingqiang might act impulsively, but Acheng and Asi probably won't. They used to be assassins for the Ji family, have you forgotten? Besides, if I go looking for someone now, what am I supposed to tell them? Where am I supposed to tell them to look? Acheng and Asi might not even be able to find the person; at most, they can go to Shitang to see if they're there."
Dingxiang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and said, "That's right. If they can't find anyone, they'll have to come back first, and then we'll figure out a solution."
It was New Year's Eve, a night that was supposed to be sleepless. The sounds of firecrackers, drums, and lion dances could be heard from outside from time to time. The usually quiet neighbors were now playing mahjong noisily. Gui'er hadn't planned to stay up all night, but now she couldn't sleep, so she asked Dingxiang to brew a pot of tea and put some peanuts, melon seeds, and snacks on the table. The two of them sat there waiting for them to come back.
But midnight had passed and no one had returned. Dingxiang began to panic and said, "Why hasn't Miss returned yet? Could something have happened?"
Gui'er didn't know what to say, after all, all three of them were carrying guns and were going to deal with the underworld, which was inherently very risky.
It wasn't until almost three or four in the morning that Ah Si and Ah Cheng finally returned, but Wu Mingqiang did not.
Gui'er quickly asked, "How is it? Where's Brother Wu?"
Acheng, panting heavily, said, "We couldn't catch the car, so we went straight to Shitang. That's when we found out that Rumeng had caught the eye of a minor leader of the Wuyi Hall. He wanted her to go out and drink with them. Rumeng does that kind of thing, but she refused to go and even spoke rudely. As a result, the leader got angry and had her forcibly taken away. He even said he would torture her to death, so her sisters came to ask for help."
Dingxiang stamped her foot and said, "Rumeng is such a troublemaker. She drags us into everything."
"How is it now? Where is Angkor Wat?"
"Ah Si and I asked around for a long time before we finally found out where the Five Righteousness Hall was. We rushed over, but we almost got caught. The atmosphere at the Five Righteousness Hall was very tense, and everyone was on high alert. Later, we saw a henchman from the Five Righteousness Hall come out to smoke, so we went up to talk to him and managed to get the information out of him. It turned out that Brother Qiang disguised himself as a restaurant deliveryman and sneaked in to pick up Ru Meng. But the little hall master discovered them halfway through. He stepped forward to stop them, and Brother Qiang shot him in the arm. Then he and Ru Meng ran away, and now the Five Righteousness Hall is looking for them everywhere."
"Yes, Miss, and this happened inside the Five Righteousness Hall. That's incredibly embarrassing. If they're found, they'll definitely be killed and their bodies left to rot in the streets. Otherwise, the Five Righteousness Hall will be laughed at by everyone in the underworld. What should we do now?"
Gui'er thought for a moment and asked, "Those people from the Five Righteousness Hall probably don't know Brother Wu, so they probably won't be able to find us here for the time being. It's getting late, let's all go to sleep first. Maybe Brother Wu will come back to find us tomorrow morning, and then we can discuss our next move."
Everyone went to sleep quietly after hearing this. Before going to sleep, Dingxiang brought Gui'er some milk. Gui'er said to her, "Go find Brother Acheng and tell him to come find me quietly."
Acheng has arrived.
Gui'er asked him, "Brother Cheng, do you know where Little Wu bought those shops?"
Acheng paused for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on and said, "Miss, do you suspect they might go there?"
Gui'er nodded: "The people of Wuyitang will definitely send people to search for the two of them on the street or in Shitang. Moreover, the people in Shitang also know that Rumeng's sisters have been here. I think Wuyitang will soon find us by following this clue. We need to find Brother Wu as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures. After dawn, I will visit Mr. Song and Brother Chen to see if they can find a way to resolve this matter."
Acheng frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Brother Qiang, he doesn't usually talk to me about his businesses, but I do know of a place he went to."
"Go and bring him back. If he doesn't want to come back, tell him that since the people from Rumeng have found us here, the people from Wuyitang will definitely come here sooner or later."
"Okay, I'll go right now." Acheng turned and left.
Dingxiang asked worriedly, "Miss, will everything be alright?"
Gui'er shook her head and said, "Don't worry, have Liu Jin close the door."
After giving the orders, Dingxiang and Acheng left. Gui'er was so tired that she lay down on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.
Gui'er only realized it was morning when she felt the sunlight streaming through the window.
She sat up abruptly and quickly washed up.
Stepping out of the room and downstairs, they found Wu Mingqiang, Ru Meng, and others already waiting there.
"Miss, you're awake. I wanted to ask you to speak, but Brother Qiang said you're tired and should rest a little longer."
Gui'er nodded and sat down. She noticed that Wu Mingqiang and Ru Meng looked rather disheveled. Wu Mingqiang said apologetically, "Miss, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
“Miss, as expected of a young lady, you have such a big air about you, making so many people wait for so long.” Ru Meng, who was sitting next to Wu Mingqiang, suddenly spoke up.
Gui'er glanced at her but didn't say anything. In fact, she was very dissatisfied with Ru Meng. She and Wu Mingqiang were from the same hometown, so it was understandable that Wu Mingqiang went to save her. However, this matter would probably implicate her in the end.
"Yes, our young lady was worried all night and didn't go to sleep until almost dawn. I don't know who did it, but a prostitute is a prostitute, she's a menace wherever she goes." Dingxiang couldn't help but speak up, probably because she was also very dissatisfied with Acheng being forced to work all night.
"I am a prostitute, that's true, but I was also the most popular courtesan in Yichun Pavilion back in the day. Compared to you, a lowly maid who spends all day serving tea and water, you would never have the chance to touch what I ate or wore in your entire life," Rumeng said casually, her arms crossed.
