Chapter 67 The Fox Takes Advantage of the Tiger (Second Update)
The thugs, including Wu Guanshi, were all immobilized by Ling Chu's immobilization charm and could not move.
When Xia Zhi saw the scene in front of her, her eyes widened in surprise.
Ling Chu took two steps forward and found that she was still standing still, so he had to step back and give her a hand.
Xia Zhi regained consciousness and quickly followed.
The people in the gambling house were so excited about gambling that no one noticed the movement here.
Even if some people noticed it, no one paid attention to it.
After all, in the eyes of these gamblers, nothing is as important as their gambling money.
Wu Guanshi was careless for a moment and was immobilized with talismans, unable to move.
I could only watch helplessly as Ling Chu led the girl to the second floor.
Steward Wu groaned in his heart, letting this girl come in and spoil Steward Tao's good deeds, and he would be skinned and cramped.
He is the third steward of Changlefang, and he is not as important as Steward Lu, so Steward Tao must be even more dissatisfied with him now.
If Manager Tao said that he was not doing things well in front of his employer, his status as the third manager would be in jeopardy.
Ling Chu didn't know Guanshi Wu was worried, so she took Xia Zhi to the second floor.
Xu Shi saw that Manager Wu was watching the scene on the first floor, and there were so many thugs, so he thought no one would dare to break into the second floor.
The thugs on the second floor were actually watching others gambling.
Ling Chu didn't hesitate and took Xia Zhi straight to Hu Batian's private room.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Hu Batian's voice soon came from inside.
Then there were footsteps.
Along with the sound of the door opening, Hu Batian's impatient voice came, "Who is it..."
I don’t know who is so bold as to disrupt Guan Tao’s good deeds.
"Hey, why is it you...?" As soon as the door opened, Hu Batian looked surprised when he saw Ling Chu standing outside.
Ling Chu glanced at him but said nothing.
Lift your foot and kick it.
Hu Batian was unprepared and was kicked back a few steps by Ling Chu.
Ling Chu was very dissatisfied with this kick. It was far from the kick she expected to knock someone down.
This body is still too weak and needs to be taken good care of.
Hu Batian took a few steps back before steadying himself.
With an angry look on his face, he asked, "Miss Ling, why do you kick someone without saying anything?"
The people in the private room have naturally noticed the movement here.
The man sitting on the Taishi's chair turned his head and looked over with furrowed brows.
Liu Xiangju, who was being escorted to kneel on the ground and was feeling uneasy, turned around to see Ling Chu and Xia Zhi, and was suddenly surprised and happy, "Girl, why are you here?"
Ling Chu gave her a comforting look, "You've been brought here, can I not come?"
Liu Xiangju didn't expect that she would be forcibly brought to the gambling house by Hu Batian, but Ling Chu came to rescue her in a blink of an eye.
His eyes turned red, and tears kept falling down like broken beads.
Sitting on the Taishi chair is Tao Cheng, the chief steward of Changlefang.
When he saw the girl in front of him barging in and interrupting his good deeds, his face suddenly sank, "Whose girl are you from? You dare to break into my gambling house. You are very brave."
Tao Cheng was angry. Steward Wu and the gang of thugs below were both useless, but they didn't even stop a little girl and allowed people to come in front of him.
Ling Chu saw him dressed and guessed that he was the chief steward of Changlefang.
"Boss Tao, I don't mean to offend. It's just that Hu Batian snatched my people away from you, and I had to come to you to ask for them."
Tao Cheng asked Hu Batian with a sullen expression and an unhappy look on his face, "What's going on?"
Hu Batian had just been kicked by Ling Chu and felt humiliated. Now he was even more annoyed when he heard her words.
"Miss Ling, what are you talking about? When did I steal your people?"
Seeing Hu Batian's confident face, Ling Chu almost laughed angrily.
He pointed at Liu Xiangju and said, "You have snatched everyone away, and yet you still tell lies with your eyes open."
Hu Batian looked surprised, "You mean, this Liu Xiangju is yours?"
Ling Chu nodded, "Yes. She is my maid."
"Your maid, I bought this Liu Xiangju."
Ling Chu frowned, "Did you buy it? Where did you buy it from?"
"Liu Dongluo personally sold his daughter to me."
Ling Chu sneered, "Impossible."
This Hu Batian is indeed a bully, talking nonsense.
Liu Dongluo had already sold Liu Xiangju to a group of traffickers like Boss Yao. After Ge's accident, he disappeared.
She had no idea how Liu Xiangju could be sold to Hu Batian after being rescued by her.
"What's impossible? I didn't lie. Liu Xiangju was indeed sold by her father." Hu Batian looked angry, fearing that Manager Tao would misunderstand that he was not doing things well.
He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve pocket and said, "This is Liu Xiangju's contract of sale. If Miss Ling doesn't believe it, you can confront Liu Dongluo."
Ling Chu was stunned. Seeing that Hu Batian didn't look like he was lying, he couldn't help but reached out and took the piece of paper and read it carefully.
After reading ten lines at a glance, Ling Chu's heart dropped.
It turned out to be a real selling contract.
It not only has Liu Dongluo's signature, but also his fingerprints.
Seeing that Ling Chu had finished reading, Hu Batian said angrily, "What, I didn't lie. I didn't steal this person, he bought it with real money."
This Liu Xiangju is good-looking. The last time he saw Liu Dongluo, he didn't even pay for it, so he wanted to get his daughter to please Manager Tao.
But Miss Ling intervened and found all Liu Dongluo's money.
Seeing that the commander of the Jinyi Guards was supporting her that day, he and Manager Lu did not dare to offend Master Na Ning, so they calmed down.
Unexpectedly, just a few days ago, Liu Dongluo personally found her and said that he wanted to sell his daughter to him.
As a bully, he didn't want to pay money. There are many ways to get the people he likes without spending a penny.
But Liu Dongluo said that he was in a hurry to return to his hometown. If he didn't pay the money, he would take his daughter away and never return to Beijing.
Hu Batian wanted to get Liu Xiangju and give her to Tao Guanshi. He was worried that Liu Dongluo would really take his daughter away and make his plan fail.
Hu Batian didn't want to cause trouble and was eager to please Tao Cheng, so he signed a contract and bought Liu Xiangju.
But when he took people to Liu's house to ask for her, he found that Liu Xiangju was missing. He couldn't find her, and he thought that Liu Dongluo had played a trick on him, sold his daughter to him, and secretly took her back to his hometown.
Ling Chu looked at the date on the contract and frowned.
Unexpectedly, Liu Dongluo actually sold Liu Xiangju to Hu Batian and Li Siguang on the same day.
Knowing that her own father had sold her twice, Liu Xiangju looked desperate, "Girl, don't worry about me, just go."
Her father had signed the contract to sell her and left with the money.
The girl had no way to rescue her. If she stayed, she would be bullied by these two evil men, and then she would become a sinner.
As soon as the girl left, she would hit her head against the wall and go down to accompany her mother.
Ling Chu sighed in her heart. She really didn't expect Liu Dongluo to be worse than those pigs and dogs. He forced his wife to death, secretly sold his daughter to different people, and then took the silver and flew away.
Ning Chuyi: I heard that someone wants to use my name to cause trouble?
Ling Chu: Lord Ning, can I borrow the tiger skin and pay with bills?
