Chapter 572 Chase
Xiluo observed the expressions of the people and naturally parked the car here. Yu Qingli lifted the side curtain and looked. The leopard had a brown collar around its neck and its eyes were gentle. It followed the Persian's command and jumped and moved on the wooden stakes, as obedient as a dog.
The children clapped excitedly and cheered.
After looking for a while, Yu Qingli turned her head to look elsewhere, and saw a small stall on the corner of the street selling steaming rice cakes and lotus root powder.
That was the taste of home. Yu Qingli couldn't help but feel excited, so she told Xiluo to park the carriage aside and go to the small stall.
The stall is located on the outskirts of the market, which is quite quiet in the bustling city. The sellers are a mother and son. The mother is elderly and just sits aside giving orders, while the son is doing the business skillfully.
Looking at this scene, Yu Qingli felt inexplicably sad.
"Miss, your rice cake and lotus root starch." The son walked up to Yu Qingli and gave her a meaningful look.
Yu Qingli was so immersed in the taste of her hometown that she didn't even notice the young man slowly extending his hand. His hand was at a strange angle, and he blocked her hand with his body. Xiluo, who was standing beside her, didn't notice it either.
There was a sudden chill between her ribs, which made Yu Qingli's scalp numb. She glanced around and saw the sharp cold light at her waist.
Yu Qingli remained calm, only lowering her head to eat the rice cake and lotus root powder, and said calmly: "Would you please wait until I finish eating?"
The young man remained silent, but did not take any further action.
Yu Qingli finished the last bite of the cake with satisfaction before praising it: "It does have some Jiangnan flavor. Your mother's cooking skills are great."
Yu Qingli's eyes were so blazing that the young man was stunned. His hand holding the dagger loosened involuntarily.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"I, our boss wants to see you." The young man didn't expect that a woman who was threatened in this way could still speak so calmly as if she was visiting relatives.
He suddenly remembered the boss's cautious look when he left the house, and couldn't help but be respectful.
"Just take this thing and lead the way." Yu Qingli slowly stood up. Xiluo immediately flashed to Yu Qingli's side, frowned, and swung his palm to chop off the dagger in the young man's hand.
The people sitting in the stalls suddenly stood up and surrounded Xiluo and Yu Qingli.
Yu Qingli stopped Xiluo and said to the young man, "Lead the way."
The young man snorted coldly and pulled out two pieces of black cloth. Yu Qingli nodded and let them blindfold her.
After getting on the carriage, Yu Qingli counted silently in her mind. After about an incense stick of time, the carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted, and the young man took Yu Qingli out of the carriage.
Yu Qingli looked back and smiled.
The gate of the courtyard is very small, and it looks inconspicuous. The tiles are also the most ordinary green tiles, which are easily confused among the red bricks and green tiles.
Pushing the door open and walking past the screen wall, you will see a completely different scene. The world in front of you suddenly becomes bright, and clusters of purple and green bamboo surround the yard, which seems to have the flavor of a Jiangnan garden.
As I walked closer, the wind carried a faint fragrance, and a string of wind chimes made of shells on the eaves made a soft and crisp sound, making the place seem even more quiet.
Yu Qingli wondered in her heart, could this elegant place be the person she guessed? Thinking of that person's appearance, she felt that he was somewhat out of place in this courtyard.
While thinking about it, he arrived at the inner room in just a moment. There was a pot of tea, a few plates of snacks, and a man sitting at the table, staring at the woman beside him as she applied medicine to him.
He turned around when he heard the voice. He saw a familiar face covered with scars. He stared at Yu Qingli and said lightly, "You're here."
Yu Qingli smiled faintly, sat down, poured herself a cup of tea, and replied quietly, "I'm coming."
The two of them asked and answered each other very naturally, and it looked more like the reunion of old friends who had not seen each other for many years. However, this was only the third time Yu Qingli saw him, but if you think about it, it could be considered a kind of fate between them.
This person, who has rapidly become the most influential figure in Gyeonggi Province in recent times, is the boss of the Sea Shark Gang - Sha Qianli!
"Ms. Yu, I, Sha, have something to ask for, so I'll be frank with you." Sha Qianli put his bandaged hand back into his sleeve, and the people around him immediately left.
Yu Qingli lowered her head to sip her tea, but quickly sorted out all the possibilities in her mind. Then she put down the teacup and signaled Sha Qianli to continue with her eyes.
"The capital is full of traps. I, Sha, have failed this time due to my inferior skills, but I accept it." Sha Qianli raised his eyebrows, "I just can't accept that my reputation has been ruined by such a scoundrel."
As Sha Qianli spoke, he carefully observed Yu Qingli's expression and guessed her thoughts. To be honest, this time he rashly came to Yu Qingli and it was a gamble that risked his life and property.
Everyone knows that Yu Qingli is Murong Feng's concubine on the surface. There are only some rumors that Murong Feng and Yu Qingli may have a bad relationship, but it is just a possibility.
"So, I'd like to ask Miss Yu to help. I can't ask for a change of fate, but at least I can't let that person off easy!"
"Let me take action?" Yu Qingli raised her eyes and smiled, then slowly asked, "Why?"
"Boss Sha, you must know that the person you want to deal with is my husband, right?" Yu Qingli smiled and looked at me with a burning gaze.
Sha Qianli's heart skipped a beat, and he felt as if his breath was stuck in his chest, and he couldn't help coughing.
Yu Qingli's smile became even wider, but she already understood in her heart that everything she guessed had indeed been confirmed one by one. Although these things had never happened in her previous life, based on her understanding of Murong Feng, she was still able to guess 70% to 80% right.
Yu Qingli has always been smart, so she naturally understood that Sha Qianli would come to her because he must have been desperate and had to give it his all. In that case, she didn't mind taking advantage of the situation and taking over half of the Sea Shark Gang.
Sha Qianli took a few gulps of tea before saying, "In that case, I am being rude. Someone, send Miss Yu back."
Yu Qingli slowly stood up, staring at Sha Qianli and said, "The Sea Shark Gang was established two years ago. The gang leader, Sha Qianli, formerly known as Sha Zhengdong, is from Dongtang and is 27 years old. Born into a Dongtang boxing family, he initially learned from the Dongtang Nanlin family and later created his own Sha family boxing style. With his pair of iron fists, he was unbeatable throughout Dongtang. Five years ago, he fell in love with the daughter of the Dongtang Left Prime Minister and was framed, his family was destroyed, and after several life-and-death experiences, he ended up wandering in Canghe. After establishing the Sea Shark Gang, he has always been low-key, only robbing property and not killing people, which is why he is quite a target in the industry..."
Yu Qingli spoke slowly, feeling the increasingly strong murderous aura emanating from Sha Qianli. Seeing his face gradually becoming more ferocious, she suddenly stopped talking and smiled, "Boss Sha, was there a single lie in what I said?"
Sha Qianli held the dagger in his hand and asked word by word, "Who are you?"
Yu Qingli raised her head and smiled when she heard that. "Me? Didn't you check me out? Yu Qingli, Murong Feng's first wife."
"No! That's not you!"
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Yu Qingli looked at Sha Qianli, not wanting to be reborn as a human, only to hear such words from a bandit. Those who spent their days with her, like Murong Feng, had never considered that the Yu Qingli of today was no longer the Yu Qingli of the past.
A sigh escaped silently from the corner of her lips. Yu Qingli lost interest and no longer had any intention of teasing Sha Qianli. She pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Sit down. Let's talk."
Sha Qianli didn't sit down, but just stared at Yu Qingli, with four words written all over his face: I don't believe you!
Yu Qingli was both angry and amused, and felt that she had finally experienced what it meant to reap what she sowed.
"Then I'll leave." Helplessly, Yu Qingli had no choice but to leave.
"Show me away!" Sha Qianli stretched his neck and shouted. Yu Qingli turned around and said, "No need. I know how to get back."
"you?"
"Are you trying to say how I knew the way back when I was blindfolded?" Yu Qingli smiled faintly, "It's just that I walked in directly from that snack stand, how could I not recognize it?"
Sha Qianli's face became more and more ugly. He never thought that a blindfolded woman, who he had deliberately taken seven or eight detours to bring back, could actually recognize the way out.
Yu Qingli walked to the screen wall and suddenly turned back and said, "By the way, for the sake of that bowl of delicious rice cake and lotus root starch, I want to remind Boss Sha to be careful of wild animals tonight."
After Yu Qingli finished speaking, she left. Sha Qianli felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained away, and he immediately fell to the ground. He had not expected that the person he had spent so much effort to find had actually already plotted against him.
Could she be in cahoots with Murong Feng? Sha Qianli's scalp tingled with fear, and he hurriedly ordered, "Quick, move out! Move to the courtyard across the street. Don't go through the main gate."
The guys nodded immediately and hurriedly moved the rockery in the yard, revealing a tunnel. Several people surrounded Sha Qianli and went through the tunnel to the opposite yard.
Yu Qingli was sitting in the car, turning to the third page of the book when Xiluo returned. Through the curtain, Xiluo reported quietly, "Miss, they really have moved. I checked and found that all the courtyards in that area have been bought by Sha Qianli under different names. I guess they have already dug a tunnel underground. They are quite thoughtful."
Yu Qingli replied without even looking up, "After all, he's the son of a wealthy family in Dongtang. How could he not have even this little bit of strategy? I just don't know how I fell into Murong Feng's trap this time."
"That's right. He doesn't look like someone with strategy. He's far inferior to the prince. I don't know if the prince is any good." Xiluo said, glancing through the gap in the curtain. She saw Yu Qingli's hand holding the book tremble slightly. Then she turned a page and said, "The young prince is very skilled, and he has Changkong with him. Sha Qianli was able to run back, so what could happen to him?"
Xiluo smiled and nodded when he heard this, "Indeed, Your Highness has always been a master of strategy."
Yu Qingli finally heard the teasing in Xiluo's tone and looked up, "Is there any news about the young uncle?"
Seeing that Yu Qingli looked serious, Xiluo didn't dare to make trouble anymore and handed a pigeon to Yu Qingli. Yu Qingli didn't bother to care about Xiluo's rather strange expression and neatly took off the letter from the pigeon's foot.
