Chapter 116: Waiting For An Opportunity
Liu Sanniang watched as the white threads disappeared from Zi Yan’s body. She frowned.
The bawd was stunned for a moment and sniffed. “Poor girl. In the next life, choose a normal life.”
Su Miaomiao and Yu Zhenzhen cried.
Liu Sanniang reached out and grabbed Su Miaomiao and Yu Zhenzhen’s hands. She released her power and saw the white thread before letting go.
Su Miaomiao and Yu Zhenzhen turned pale. “Miss Liu, will we die?”
The bawd was also nervous. “Miss Liu, help the girls. They are both poor girls.”
Two of the four courtesans had died. If they died as well, would she still be able to do business?
It was not easy to nurture a courtesan who could sing and dance.
Liu Sanniang gathered two golden lights, one for each of them, and the golden light entered their bodies, forming a protective shield. Liu Sanniang said, “You have to believe in yourself and live with hope. No matter what happens, don’t give up hope.”
Su Miaomiao and Yu Zhenzhen nodded with pale faces.
Being alive was more important than anything else. At least, they didn’t want to die not knowing what they died for.
After Liu Sanniang left the brothel, Su Miaomiao and Yu Zhenzhen went back to rest.
The bawd instructed them. “You have to understand that in our line of work, it’s impossible for anyone to truly love us. Those men are all liars. It’s not worth to die for them. Don’t be deceived.”
......
The consequence of being deceived was death.
Su Miaomiao and Yu Zhenzhen felt a little down and agreed.
Sometimes, knowing the truth was one thing, but accepting it was another.
Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan left the brothel. Liu Sanniang felt cold as she walked on the street.
Chu Yan was beside her. Liu Sanniang bit her lip. “I must catch him.”
Chu Yan said, “Yes, you will.”
Liu Sanniang felt that Chu Yan’s words had a force that made her feel stronger. If he said that she could, then she definitely could.
Liu Sanniang thought that it would be good if she knew where the man was.
She walked around the street several times and felt the fluctuation of power, but she couldn’t find him. The person who used to write letters at the book stall was gone too.
Liu Sanniang frowned. Her feet hurt from walking, so she gave up and went home. In the beginning, the man might not have known that the government was targeting him, but now he seemed to know, but he didn’t leave.
He was waiting for an opportunity.
Some people knew that they were in danger, but they still refused to avoid it. At this point, the criminal was clearly challenging the government.
Liu Sanniang could only go home.
When Liu Sanniang was about to close the door, Chu Yan forced it open. Liu Sanniang was a little nervous.
Chu Yan said in a low voice, “I’ll disappear in the next few days, but don’t be afraid. I’m just hiding in the darkness.”
If he was there, that man would never show up. This was her path. He could not interfere too much.
Liu Sanniang nodded nervously. “It’s… it’s up to you.”
Chu Yan glanced at Liu Sanniang. “Close the door.”
Liu Sanniang obediently closed the door before Chu Yan left.
Liu Sanniang could not calm down, so she went to the kitchen to cook.
At this moment, in a small courtyard.
A man woke up in bed. He looked ordinary and was in a very good mood. He went out straight to get two kilos of wine and some beef.
On the way, he met a neighbor. Looking at the good stuff in the man’s hand, the woman asked. “Jiang Sheng, have you received a windfall? How can you afford such good wine.”
Jiang Sheng smiled. “It’s my turn to be lucky.”
The woman smiled. “That’s a good thing. Tell me how much money you have. I’ll matchmake you with a girl.”
Jiang Sheng smiled. “No need. I’m from a scholarly family. I don’t like ordinary girls. I’ll naturally find one when fate comes.”
Jiang Sheng turned around and the smile on his face was gone.
The woman spat behind him disdainfully. A poor scholar was actually thinking of marrying a rich young lady.
The woman did not know that though her voice was very soft, it still reached Jiang Sheng’s ears.
Jiang Sheng’s expression was dark. When he returned home, he looked at the black wooden tablet on the incense table and lit the incense. He opened the wine and poured it full. Then he took out a bowl of beef.
After kneeling down, he kowtowed. “Dad, Mom, don’t worry. I will definitely bring honor to our Jiang family.”
After kowtowing, Jiang Sheng got up and returned to his room. He poured himself a glass of wine and smiled smugly. He drank it all in one gulp. From now on, he would become stronger and stronger, so strong that everyone would fear him.
Jiang Sheng drank and ate meat, laughing from time to time.
After eating and getting drunk, he lay down on the bed and slept.
When he woke up, he was full of energy. When he got up, he had already found a way to increase his power. Even if the government had already targeted him, what was there to be afraid of? He was becoming stronger, but the government did not even know who he was.
It was obvious who should be afraid of who.
Jiang Sheng smiled and called out two names coldly. “Su Miaomiao, Yu Zhenzhen.”
Out of the four courtesans, two were dead. There was no need to keep these two.
In the brothel, Su Miaomiao and Yu Zhenzhen were not in good health, so they naturally could not receive the customers.
The bawd was worried that something would happen to them, so she asked the servant girls to keep an eye on them 24 hours a day.
Late at night, Su Miaomiao felt sleepy. “Put out the candle. I can’t sleep like this.”
The servant girl thought that since she was here, nothing could happen. She went to blow out the candle.
Su Miaomiao lay down and fell asleep.
In a daze, she felt that her body was very heavy and she was panting. She immediately woke up.
She pushed the man off her and shouted in fear. “Who are you?”
She did not remember having ever met this customer.
“Miaomiao, what’s wrong? Why are you pushing me? Hurry up. If you don’t hurry up, your man will come back.”
After being pushed away, not only was the man not angry, he even chuckled and leaned over again.
