BXBX NOVEL Chapter 172 - 172 Chapter 171, Was It Him?
Perhaps this matter could only be considered over when that person was in prison. Otherwise, their family would always have to live in fear.
“There are still no clues. We haven’t found the car yet,” The tall policeman said vaguely.
Li Xu heard him and nodded thoughtfully, “Thank you for your hard work!”
After the two policemen left, Li Xu was a little worried about what would happen at night.
Anyway, they couldn’t open the shop anymore. It was going to be Saturday soon. Should she bring the children home to stay for two days?
However, Li Xu quickly denied her thoughts.
What if that person still didn’t give up and followed her route to her parent’s house?
Around six o’clock, Zhang Kun came over after he got off work.
“I’ll sleep on the sofa tonight. Don’t Worry!” He whispered to Li Xu.
Li Xu tried her best to act naturally, “You sleep with Zixuan and Zi’ang. I’m afraid that they won’t be able to sleep at night.”
Zhang Kun nodded, “That’s fine too!”
Seeing that Ji Zixuan had eye bags, Zhang Kun patted his head, “Have you finished your homework?”
Ji Zixuan shook his head, “Not yet!”
Zhang Kun knew that Ji Zixuan was a thoughtful person. He was afraid that what happened last night had scared him. He said in a low voice, “It’s fine. Go and do your homework. Uncle Zhang is here!”
Hearing Zhang Kun’s words, Ji Zixuan raised his head and looked at him with a complicated expression.
After a long while, he took a deep breath and nodded, “I understand.”
With that, he got up and returned to his bedroom to do his homework.
Before going to bed, Zhang Kun moved his bedding over from home and set up a small bed in Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang’s room.
Li Xu also moved into Ji Yuanyuan’s bedroom.
However, no one fell asleep in the darkness of the night.
Even someone as big-hearted as Ji Zi’ang recalled the person who sneaked into the house last night and shrank back in fear.
When it was almost midnight, Ji Yuanyuan finally felt sleepy. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
There was a sound of knocking in the night. Not only was Ji Yuanyuan shocked, but Li Xu also shivered.
Li Xu reached out and patted Ji Yuanyuan’s back. She said in a low voice, “Don’t move. Mommy will go out and take a look!”
She got up, lifted the blanket, and got out of bed as she spoke. When she walked to the door, she even took the wooden stick she put before she went to sleep to protect herself.
After Li Xu came out, she did not turn on the lights.
Under the moonlight, she saw Zhang Kun.
At this moment, Zhang Kun was standing behind the door.
The two of them looked at each other and were about to speak.
The person outside the door spoke, “Big sister, it’s me, Xiao Gong!”
Is it Gong Wenbai?
Li Xu and Zhang Kun heaved a sigh of relief. Zhang Kun then raised his hand and turned on the light switch.
The living room lit up, then Zhang Kun reached out and opened the door.
What surprised the two was that Gong Wenbai didn’t come alone. There were two men following behind him.
One of them looked to be in his fifties. He was wearing an expensive suit but stood behind Gong Wenbai, and he respectfully nodded at Li Xu and Zhang Kun to greet them.
The other one, who looked to be in his twenties, was currently lowering his head.
Li Xu’s eyes suddenly widened seeing this young man, “You…”
She pointed at the young man, her face still in shock.
This young man was undoubtedly the one who had killed Shen Mei with his car.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man looked at the young man and said coldly, “Why aren’t you here to apologize?”
Hearing this, the young man finally raised his head.
However, his face was full of bruises, as if he had been beaten up.
He looked at Li Xu and said in a low voice, “Elder Sister, I’m sorry. I was the one who hit her. I also arranged for that person to come here last night. I’ll go to the police station to turn myself in later!”
Hearing this man’s words, Li Xu looked at Gong Wenbai with some doubt.
Gong Wenbai just nodded to Li Xu and said with a hint, “Master was furious when he found out what happened last night!”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly smiled and looked at Gong Wenbai, “Little Brother, please put in more good words in front of the Master. I truly didn’t know that this unfilial son had done so many crazy things outside. If I knew, I definitely wouldn’t let him off.”
“I’m just Master’s driver, and my words are useless. This one is the person who qualifies to say something in front of Master.” Gong Wenbai pointed at Li Xu and said.
The middle-aged man looked at Li Xu with an embarrassed smile. “I’m truly sorry. You are a generous person. Please don’t lower yourself to his level.”
Although Li Xu was shocked by the scene, she didn’t drop the ball at the critical moment.
Li Xu’s expression turned cold as she said, “A hit-and-run, and he even retaliated after the incident. Your family indeed has a good upbringing!”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he reached out and pulled the young man over, “Kneel and apologize!”
Li Xu hurriedly spoke when the young man was about to kneel, “There’s no need to kneel. As long as you do not go to the police station and turn yourself in, there’s no guarantee that you won’t harass us in the future. Let’s forget about this matter.”
The middle-aged man repeatedly nodded, “Turn yourself in. I’ll bring him to turn himself in later. In the future, I promise that no one will come and disturb you again.”
...
Gong Wenbai’s expression was cold as he said promptly, “As long as you don’t cause trouble, the Master will not find trouble with your Kong Family.”
The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, yes. I’ll discipline my men well in the future.”
Then, he looked at Li Xu and said, “I’m really sorry this time. I’ll be responsible for the losses of the shop.”
As he spoke, he went forward and placed a bag in front of Li Xu.
Li Xu took a look and saw that there were several stacks of hundred-dollar bills inside.
They looked like tens of thousands of dollars!
Li Xu raised her head and looked at Gong Wenbai. The other party nodded faintly.
Li Xu hesitated for a moment. She picked up the bag, took out a stack, then took out a few more. “This is enough for the shop’s losses. Please take the rest back!”
“This…” The middle-aged man hesitated.
Seeing this, Gong Wenbai said coldly, “Since they don’t want it, you can take it back!”
The middle-aged man took the bag back hesitantly.
...
“Also, Master said that if anything happens to them in the future, he will put the blame on you.”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man repeatedly promised, “Don’t worry about this. We promise not to make things difficult for them.”
Gong Wenbai nodded, “Alright, you should go to the police station.”
The middle-aged man then pulled the young man away.
After the two of them left, Gong Wenbai closed the door.
Seeing this, Li Xu finally heaved a sigh of relief. She patted her chest and said, “Xiao Gong, what’s going on?”
Zhang Kun turned around and found the three children lying on the door frame, peeking curiously.
He waved his hand, and the three children pounced on h
