Driven by curiosity, Zhang Xiaoshan opened the briefcase for a quick glance.
"Damn."
Handcuffs, whips, candles, costu props...
As soon as he saw what was inside, Zhang Xiaoshan imdiately understood why the suitcase looked familiar.
Wasn’t this the sa suitcase that Zhang Jian had used against Jiang Man that night?
"It seems that since that ti, Big Gold Teeth and Zhang Jian have still had quite a bit of interaction."
Zhang Xiaoshan shivered with disgust, picked up the suitcase, got off the car, and intended to toss it away.
But as he was walking to the riverbank, he hesitated.
The image of Wu Xiaoru flashed through his mind.
Wasn’t he supposed to et Wu Xiaoru at White Dragon Temple tonight?
It so happened that this stuff might just co in handy.
He had been deceived and used by Wu Xiaoru before, and in the end, he hadn’t been able to get anything out of her. Tonight, he could completely make up for the lost years all at once and give Wu Xiaoru a good lesson on what humiliation ant.
"Little Shan, why haven’t you left yet?"
Luo ili urged.
Zhang Xiaoshan then took the briefcase and boarded the boat.
Wang Goudan smoothly navigated the ferry across White Dragon River.
"Give it here."
Luo ili snatched the cloth bag filled with cash from Wang Goudan’s hands and then handed it to Zhang Xiaoshan.
"This money was not easy to co by, you should keep it well. We can use it to expand our operation in the future."
"Alright."
"Then I’m going ho first."
After receiving Zhang Xiaoshan’s response, Luo ili walked towards her own house, swaying her willowy waist.
Wang Goudan couldn’t afford to appreciate Luo ili’s enticing figure at that mont; his attention was all on the bag of money in Zhang Xiaoshan’s hand.
"Little Shan, I really didn’t expect you’d suddenly beco the richest man in White Dragon Village and even get involved with the beautiful widow Luo ili. You’ve really got it all figured out."
Zhang Xiaoshan chuckled.
"Haven’t I explained to you? Luo ili and I are clean, we just have a partnership. Why don’t you believe it? Forget it, I won’t talk about this anymore, I’m tired, going ho."
With that, Zhang Xiaoshan intended to leave, holding the bag.
"Wait, Little Shan, wait a minute."
Wang Goudan persistently stopped Zhang Xiaoshan.
Zhang Xiaoshan spoke with an air of impatience.
"Brother Goudan, I’m too tired, I want to go ho and sleep. Is there sothing you need?"
Wang Goudan imdiately said.
"Didn’t you say to call you if there’s any gambling in the village in the future?"
"There happens to be a gambling event tonight, will you join?"
"Tonight?"
Zhang Xiaoshan thought for a mont; he had to teach Wu Xiaoru a lesson tonight, and he wouldn’t have ti for this.
"Forget about it, I’m busy tonight."
This refusal made Wang Goudan’s heart even more uncomfortable.
The bag of money in Zhang Xiaoshan’s hand was too tempting; he was extrely envious.
If he could get his hands on all that money with Wei Bao and the others, even if he only got one-fifth of it, that would also be close to two hundred thousand, right?
Two hundred thousand?
Wang Goudan could never make that much money in his entire life!
It was as if a road to riches was laid out before him; he couldn’t bear to give it up.
"Little Shan, it doesn’t matter if you are busy. I will talk to Wei Bao and the others, let them wait for you. They will give that much face."
Wang Goudan boasted, thumping his chest confidently.
Inside, Zhang Xiaoshan held contempt, "As if you could?"
He pondered.
Teaching Wu Xiaoru a lesson shouldn’t take long.
After it’s over, I’ll go look for Wei Bao and the others.
It seems there’s still enough ti.
Now that noblewoman has lost all hope of living; each day I delay in saving her, she has a greater chance of dying.
I need to hurry with this matter.
Thinking this, he nodded to Wang Goudan.
"Alright, I’ll co to the village collective tonight."
"Good. Little Shan, I’ll go find Wei Bao and the others now. You must co, okay? I’ll wait for you at the village collective."
Wang Goudan ran off, excited, much faster than Zhang Xiaoshan; he took off like he was sprinting a hundred ters.
Obviously, he was extrely envious of Zhang Xiaoshan’s sack of money.
And that was the effect Zhang Xiaoshan wanted to achieve.
"Just wait and see who will be the unlucky one."
Zhang Xiaoshan watched Wang Goudan’s retreating figure, gave a smile, then went ho.
By now, the sun had set, and the sky had darkened.
Yu Xiuxiu was standing at the doorway waiting for Zhang Xiaoshan.
Her face was full of anxiety.
Clearly, she was worried about Zhang Xiaoshan.
At the sa ti, considering that today Zhang Xiaoshan had gone out with Luo ili, that charming widow, what if sothing happened tonight at the town’s guesthouse?
"Sister-in-law."
A shout startled Yu Xiuxiu, who had been lost in her thoughts leaning against the gate.
Regaining her composure, she saw Zhang Xiaoshan happily approaching the house.
First, she felt a rush of joy.
But then her expression quickly turned cold.
"Sister-in-law, I’m back."
"Today went very smoothly; I secured all the shops and distribution agencies from the Wang family."
Zhang Xiaoshan reported to Yu Xiuxiu with great happiness.
Yu Xiuxiu internally approved of Zhang Xiaoshan’s attitude but still maintained an indifferent deanor and said,
"Haven’t I already said? I’m just your sister-in-law, not your wife. You don’t need to report everything to ."
Zhang Xiaoshan looked helpless upon hearing this.
Clearly, his sister-in-law was still angry about walking in on him and Xu Jing in an ambiguous situation last night, as well as his secret trip to the mountains.
"Sister-in-law, listen to my explanation. Last night’s incident—it’s really not..."
Before Zhang Xiaoshan could finish speaking, Yu Xiuxiu shut the gate with a clang.
"I’ve said it; I don’t want to listen."
"Bang."
The gate was locked from the inside.
"Sister-in-law."
Zhang Xiaoshan called out a few tis, but Yu Xiuxiu did not respond.
Rebuffed, Zhang Xiaoshan felt extrely helpless.
"Alright then, sister-in-law. I know I’ve hurt your heart, so you take your ti to calm down. I’ll just go sleep in the infirmary."
Zhang Xiaoshan turned and left.
"This naughty boy, why does he have to be so honest at tis like this? Can’t he coax a bit more?"
Yu Xiuxiu peeked through the crack of the door, watching the retreating figure of Zhang Xiaoshan, her face showing a mixture of resentnt and grievance.
She also began to doubt herself.
"Am I being too harsh on Little Shan?"
anwhile, in a cornfield three to four hundred ters away from the gate, a woman was quietly observing everything.
"Hehe, Zhang Xiaoshan, you’re quite the player."
"But tonight, my chance has co."
The woman smirked and followed behind Zhang Xiaoshan.
