84 Don’t Kill Me
After a while, Xie Heng approached the window.
He looked in the direction that Zhao Chuchu had left, and a hint of emotion appeared inside his eyes for a second.
Zhao Chuchu sat on the wall fence behind the inn connected to a small alley and looked at the group of people acting suspiciously under the wall.
“I know which two rooms they are staying in. I’ll head up first and put them to sleep with the enchanting smoke. You guys watch my back. Come to me once I get the silvers, understand?”
“But, that lady is powerful. Is this really worth it?”
“This enchanting smoke I have can even put a tiger to sleep. There’s no way that lady can handle this. Also, did you guys forget that her husband is blind?”
“Right. Also, she’s quite attractive too. Why don’t we take her, and we can…”
A loud slap could be heard on the back of the head of the man who had suggested having their ways with Zhao Chuchu.
“Stop thinking with your dick! Be quiet, or I’ll skin you alive!”
“Do you need my help with that?” Zhao Chuchu asked with a chuckle.
The group of people instinctively raised their heads when they heard her voice.
Zhao Chuchu had a LED light in her hand next to her head.
“G-ghost!”
The group of people pissed their pants seeing the lady’s illuminated face. They could not find their voices and fell back.
Zhao Chuchu was speechless.
“Are they really trying to rob me with this wit of theirs?” She laughed in her head.
The lady jumped down from the wall, and those who were timid rolled their eyes back and fainted immediately.
Those who still had their wits were drenched in sweat with their eyes wide open in fear. “P-please don’t kill me…” they begged.
Zhao Chuchu quickly realized that the people in front of her weren’t the same as those who tried to take the tiger away from her that morning. Another group of people was planning to rob her.
She recalled that after teaching the thugs a lesson that morning, no one tried to take the tiger away from her again.
“So, who are these people?” she thought.
She couldn’t think of anyone else besides those from the restaurant.
Zhao Chuchu kicked the person closest to her and asked, “Who sent you guys here? You better tell me the truth!”
“A-are you not a ghost?” The one who was kicked was stunned.
“Oh? You want to meet one? I can help you with that.” Zhao Chuchu kicked him again.
“I-I’ll tell you! It’s Fuzi from the Visitor’s Aroma! He told us that you just sold a tiger for 800 silvers. I-I…”
“Who’s Fuzi?”
“He works as a waiter there! He’s the one who gave us the enchanting smoke too!”
The person told the lady everything after that.
Zhao Chuchu quickly lost interest.
“Where is he staying at? Lead the way.”
“A-are you going to kill us?”
“If you really want to die that bad, I don’t mind doing the dirty work.”
“No! Please, spare me!” The person quickly begged.
Zhao Chuchu then had him lead her to Fuzi’s house.
Perhaps he was excited about the money he would get; Fuzi was still awake. He walked back and forth in his room, completely excited.
Carrying the person who led her there in one hand, Zhao Chuchu kicked the door open.
Fuzi jumped back in surprise, and his face turned pale when he noticed it was Zhao Chuchu.
“H-how are you here?”
Fuzi was the same waiter Zhao Chuchu had asked where the restaurant owner was that morning.
“It seems like you aren’t afraid of death.” Zhao Chuchu talked as if she was joking, but her expression said otherwise. “Did you not see what happened to the thugs who tried to rob me this morning?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about!” With sweats wetting his shirt and chills down his spine, Fuzi pretended to be innocent.
“Talk.”
Zhao Chuchu threw the man in her hand to the ground.
The person quickly got up and said, “Fuzi told us to do that! The money got the better of me! Please don’t kill me!”
“This has nothing to do with me…” Fuzi quickly explained.
“If it has nothing to do with you, then how did they know how much the tiger was sold for?”
Zhao Chuchu walked forward, forcing Fuzi to back up.
