The sudden shout frightened everyone and made them tremble. Yao Shunru hurriedly called Shi Guangyao and Li Shaohua to protect the two girls and retreat. He stepped forward and stood in the middle of the road, shouting,"May I ask which hero you are? Did Master Liu call you here?”
This group of strong people was shocked when they heard this and said,"We don't know any Master Liu. We only want money. Throw the money on the ground and we'll let you go.”
"I know that you were ordered by someone and forced by life. We're all students, so we don't have much money on us. However, we can't let you go back empty-handed. How about this? I'll give you 10,000 yuan each. Please tell Master Liu to take care of himself. If you dare to make things difficult for us, none of you will be able to escape. You'd better go back and enjoy the new year happily.”Yao Shunru said righteously.
"I know you have a strong background, and since you are straightforward, 10,000 yuan per person is not enough. It will be at least 30,000 yuan.”The four of them whispered to each other.
"Alright, 30,000 it is. A gentleman's word is a promise. Everyone, go home happily for the New Year. However, you have to be a good person to the end. You have to send us across this metasequoia forest and up the embankment before giving you money. If you agree, please lead the way.”Yao Shunru said loudly.
The four of them looked at each other. One of them said,"No, our territory is in this metasequoia forest. If we cross the boundary, it won't belong to us anymore. Don't try to trick us into going up the dike and waiting for an opportunity to call for help. We won't fall for your trick. Throw the money on the ground and we'll let you pass. I'll count from one to five. If you dawdle any longer, I won't be polite!”
"One…two…three…four…"
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and the four men fled. One of them was still holding his bleeding left arm. Two people rushed over with pistols and fired two more shots into the sky.
They were the two young men who came to Chongming Island on the same boat. They ran to Shi Guangyao and said while panting,"Young Master, I'm sorry. We're late and have frightened everyone.”
"I remember now. The two of them were the ones I saw in the willow forest the night before yesterday." Tian Meixiu said with a sudden realization.”
"So you've been following us?" Shi Guangyao asked unhappily.”
One of the thin young men stepped forward and saluted,""Reporting to Young Master, we're following the commander's orders to secretly protect Young Master and Young Madam's safety along the way.”
"Who needs your protection? What nonsense are you talking about?”Shi Guangyao's face turned red when he heard this. This person had revealed the mystery in front of everyone.
Tian Meixiu's face also turned red. She was very angry and cursed in her heart. What a stubborn thing. Who is your Young Madam? I will never talk to you again!
Zhang Ruilian saw that Tian Meixiu's face was also red and quickly tried to smooth things over."Why are you being so fierce to them? Your father had good intentions. They were just following orders, so it was hard for them to do their duty.”
"I really have to thank you. If you didn't arrive in time, they might have killed you to silence you.”Yao Shunru said.
Shi Guangyao heard that he might even kill them to silence them. He apologized with a creepy expression,"I'm sorry, I was just annoyed that you followed us.”
Li Shaohua sighed and said," When I was young, I often heard adults say that East Sand is a place where pirates haunt. I didn't want to experience it personally today. It's really thrilling. Fortunately, these two brothers appeared. It's really a blessing in disguise.”
He then turned to Yao Shunru and asked," Brother Shunru, you looked so majestic just now. How did you know that it was Master Liu who instructed you? You seemed to have intimidated them."”
"I was also in a hurry and judged that it was Master Liu who instructed me. Didn't you see his shifty eyes and evil aura? When Shi Guangyao was talking to him on the boat, Mr. Chen winked at me, telling us to ignore him. It could be seen that this person was not genuine. At that time, I only wanted to scare them, but I regretted it the moment I said it. If we saw through Master Liu, they might really kill us to silence us.”Yao Shunru laughed.
"What did you think after that?"
"I just want to find a way to get out of this Metasequoia forest. This Metasequoia forest doesn't stick to the village or the shop. It's a dangerous death zone. The reason they chose this place was because the terrain here was very advantageous to them. I was worried that even if I gave the money, I wouldn't be able to get security. These people had no integrity to speak of. They could change their minds at any time and even kill to silence them. That's why I emphasized that we have to pay after we reach the Xijia Harbor embankment.”
Yao Shunru's judgment was correct. This group of people was indeed instructed by Master Liu. Master Liu was the leader of the underworld in East Sand. He specialized in killing and robbing people on the Hai Lu Road near Chongming Island. He had never thought that he would make enemies with a few young people today. He thought to himself that these students must have some background. Otherwise, why would they have bodyguards with guns?
It turned out that the two young men who came on the same boat were from the Songhu Garrison Command. The thin man with a fair face was the second lieutenant platoon leader Guo Zhibing, and the tall, strong, and tanned man was the first class soldier Li Quanshan. The two of them were under the command of Deputy Commander Jiang to protect their safety along the way. They had to keep a distance from them and ensure their safety.
It was the middle of winter, and there was no cover in the open wilderness. This was indeed not an easy task, and it was a difficult mission. After the two of them pretended to break up from the county town, they actually rented a carriage and followed closely behind. When they went up the embankment to watch the sunset, they stayed in the willow forest and stayed at the farmer's house next door at night.
The next day, he returned to the county town. They had never expected that Young Master Shi would suddenly change his schedule and board the ship in the afternoon. They had almost lost him. Fortunately, the boat hadn't left yet. After they got on the boat and showed their identification documents, they sat in the driver's seat.
When she woke up this morning, she found that Young Master Shi and the others had already left. The two of them searched everywhere in Chaoyang Town, but there was no trace of them. They were so anxious that they broke out in a cold sweat. She met Mr. Chen at the east end of town, who had just returned home. Only then did she know the whereabouts of her classmates, so she chased after them all the way.
Fortunately, Yao Shunru had been dealing with the criminals for a while, allowing them to arrive just in time. In a moment of desperation, they pulled out their pistols and shot the leading criminal. Everyone was very grateful when they heard this, and half of Tian Meixiu's resentment disappeared.
Shi Guangyao had put in a lot of effort on this trip to Chongming. He thought that he had the right time and place, and he was just a little bit short of people.
Tian Meixiu was suffering from a strange illness. Tian Meixiu's mother and her mother were good sisters and devout members of the Roman Church. They would invite their companions to go to Mass every Sunday. Tian Meixiu's father was obedient to his wife. Her parents thought highly of him and took the initiative to propose marriage so that he could help Tian Meixiu.
The so-called geographical advantage was that both sides were locals of Shanghai. They both had families, businesses, and a certain amount of wealth. Her father was the deputy commander of the Songhu garrison. Although he was not a king, he still had power. This was also something that Tian Meixiu's parents valued very much. With a gun as a backer, it would undoubtedly make him look even richer in the same industry.
As for human harmony? Both parents were on his side and were enthusiastic about this marriage. Although Tian Meixiu didn't say anything, it was probably because the girl was too shy to say it. He believed in his parents 'orders and the matchmaker's words. He believed that as long as one worked hard, an iron rod could be ground into a needle.
Through his performance during Tian Meixiu's stay in the hospital, although he and Yao Shunru did not fight openly, they had never stopped fighting in secret. He was confident that his impression in Tian Meixiu's heart would not be worse than Yao Shunru's. It was just that they had fought to a draw, so he had racked his brains to win in Chongming.
Unexpectedly, the two attendants sent by his father were incompetent and more than capable of ruining things. This "Young Madam" had revealed the truth. Not only could Tian Meixiu not accept it, but she also became angry out of embarrassment. On the way back, she kept her head down and was unhappy. She did not even look at him.
Li Shaohua was an extremely intelligent person. Although he didn't say anything, he must have known that if this news spread to his classmates in school in the future, who knew how many jokes he would make.
Fortunately, Zhang Ruilian had helped him in times of crisis and resolved the awkwardness for him. Fortunately, Yao Shunru was still in a state of crisis and was still in a daze. He was only thinking about the robbery and was not paying attention to what happened later. He did not realize the meaning of " Young Madam ".
In order to make up for his mistake, Shi Guangyao pretended that nothing had happened. When they arrived at Chen Family Town for breakfast, he rushed to pay the bill in front of Li Shaohua. After breakfast, he walked out of the restaurant and happened to meet a seller of wild ducks. He bought another bunch and gave everyone a pair of wild ducks. He seemed very generous.
