?72: Unexpected Guest: Episode 72 72: Unexpected Guest: Episode 72 The gunman’s here?

    At the sound of the slightly violent knocking, all Hai Mingzhu’s memories came flooding back – they were all waiting for the assassin to creep in, so Cui Xin’ai had given her and Shen Yue each a gun.

    Last night she had learned a great deal from Shen Yue about how to use a gun, she wasn’t a greenhorn anymore.

    Li Yawei had been asleep the whole time, and after she’d discussed matters with Jin Xin and Shen Yue about taking turns to keep watch, she’d agreed to do her share of the job.

    She had said she would doze for a while and then take over, but she had slept through to this point.

    Why didn’t Jin Xin and Shen Yue wake her up?

    Li Yawei was not in the living room, had she been moved to the bedroom to sleep?

    Had Li Yawei woken up?

    All these thoughts were left unanswered.

    Hai Mingzhu tried to feel for the gun, only to find that it had disappeared.

    Realizing she was starting to panic, she turned to Shen Yue for help.

    Not daring to make a noise, she gestured frantically with her eyes.

    “It’s not the assassin.” Shen Yue replied simply.

    Hai Mingzhu began to calm down, thinking to herself that if it wasn’t the assassin, then which fool didn’t use the doorbell but insisted on knocking on the door?

    “Aunt Wu.

    Go and check.” Cui Xin’ai came out carrying a pot of fragrant soup and said to Aunt Wu.

    Hai Mingzhu suddenly felt confused.

    Looking at Cui Xin’ai’s domesticated housewife appearance, she almost doubted if she’d been dreaming last night.

    Was she too nervous and insecure, that’s why she started to dream about learning how to use a gun?

    In fact, were there even any guns?

    Was Cui Xin’ai just your typical wealthy housewife?

    Aunt Wu obediently went to the door, looked through the peephole before opening the door.

    Before she could speak, the visitor had already walked in from outside, shoved Aunt Wu aside, and marched straight up to Cui Xin’ai, raising her arm to slap her forcefully across the face!

    Slap!

    The room instantly fell silent!

    Seeing this, Hai Mingzhu instantly had a vivid mental image of what would happen next – Cui Xin’ai would casually draw a pistol from behind her waist and instantly riddle the intruder with bullets!

    However, the imagined scene didn’t happen.

    Cui Xin’ai held the pot of soup tightly, she didn’t even let the pot fall to the ground, not a drop of soup spilled out.

    However, five quick marks appeared on her face, showing how hard the slap had been.

    She slowly placed the pot on the table.

    With a furrowed brow, Cui Xin’ai asked, “Madam Qian, what are you doing?”

    The surprise visitor turned out to be Madam Qian, the mother of Li Jizu.

    Shen Yue and Jin Xin exchanged glances, somewhat taken aback.

    They couldn’t understand why Madam Qian had come.

    “Where’s that whore?” Madam Qian roared, her eyes almost bloodshot, her hair was a little messy, as if she hadn’t had a good night’s sleep.

    “Who are you talking about?” Hearing that the first words out of Madam Qian’s mouth were “whore”, Cui Xin’ai’s face inadvertently changed.

    “I’m talking about your daughter, Li Yawei.

    Where’s that whore?” Madam Qian yelled.

    Slap!

    Another resounding slap echoed around the room!

    The room fell silent once more.

    Everyone assumed that Madam Qian had slapped Cui Xin’ai again – looking at the situation, it seemed that Madam Qian was used to ordering people around, while Cui Xin’ai seemed to be tolerating her patiently.

    However, in reality – it was Cui Xin’ai who had sharply responded with a slap to Madam Qian’s face!

    Everyone was stunned, including Madam Qian herself.

    She seemed to find it hard to believe what was happening in front of her eyes.

    She covered her face, took a step back, and said in a panic, “You dared to hit me?

    Was that you hitting me just now?

    You actually dared to hit me?”

    She repeated the same question three times, each time regaining some of her previous momentum so that, by the last question, she had recovered her former storming energy, almost like a furious lioness.

    “Yes, I’m the one who hit you!”

    Cui Xin’ai appeared remarkably calm back, she worked her wrist, appearing to be preparing for another slap.

    Glaring coldly at Madam Qian, Cui Xin’ai added, “You can insult me, but if you dare to insult my daughter again, I swear I’ll kill you!”

    Madam Qian suddenly wanted to laugh.

    Among the four women acknowledged by Giant Li, she was ranked third, but her temper was the fiercest.

    Though she didn’t dare to offend Li Linping, the chief wife, she could still throw her weight around with the second wife, Cai Shuzhen, even though Cai Shuzhen’s sons were Li Jiye and Li Jixian.

    She always believed that her own son was the one who should take over the Li family.

    It was this arrogance that made her look down on Cui Xin’ai, the fourth wife.

    In the past, she indeed used to slap Cui Xin’ai, having given her countless slaps over time, she had come to think of it as a matter of course.

    But now Cui Xin’ai dares to resist, claiming she would kill her?

    Madam Qian felt the situation was absurd, “Not only will I smear your daughter’s name, but I will also smear yours.” Seeing the sharp look in Cui Xin’ai’s eyes, a look she had never seen before, Madam Qian finally changed her approach.

    “You colluded with your daughter to kill my son, I will never let you go!”

    Cui Xin’ai froze, “Li Jizu is dead?”

    Shen Yue and Jin Xin looked at each other, both a little surprised. Sёarch* The n?vel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    They remembered Huang Fei saying that Li Jizu was also at the Wild Bar last night, so if something happened to Li Jizu, it should have also happened last night.

    Why would Li Jizu be in trouble?

    Was Madam Qian like a mad dog, blaming it all on Li Yawei?

    “Do you wish he was dead?” Madam Qian yelled angrily.

    “Yes, I wish he was dead.” Cui Xin’ai said emphatically: “So he is really dead?

    That’s great!”

    Hai Mingzhu, standing on the sidelines, noticed something.

    She realized that Cui Xin’ai was not simply speaking out of anger.

    Madam Qian was somewhat flustered, she hadn’t expected Cui Xin’ai to react this way.

    After a pause, she shouted with a cold face: “Remember what you just said, if my son is really dead, you will be the murderer.

    Where’s your daughter?

    Isn’t she daring to see me, that …”

    She had wanted to say the words “troublemaker”, but she suddenly remembered the cold look in Cui Xin’ai’s eyes and her warning, so she swallowed the words she was about to spit out.

    “Get out!” Cui Xin’ai didn’t show the slightest sympathy even though Madam Qian seemed to soften, “You’re not welcome here.”

    “You dare to kick me out?” Madam Qian felt as though the world had turned upside down, “I won’t go, what can you do to me?”

    Cui Xin’ai took a step forward, but was blocked by Jin Xin,”If you don’t leave, we can file a lawsuit against you for intentional injury and unauthorized entry.”

    “Who are you?”

    Madam Qian’s eyes widened as she finally recognized who Jin Xin was, she mocked, “Oh, you’re the meal ticket-jumping Jin Xin who was fired from Giant Industries and is trying to latch onto another big shot.” Seeing Jin Xin there, she naturally assumed that he was up to the same antics as Xun Jiasheng.

    Jin Xin smiled as he flexed his fist.

    “You dare to hit me?” Madam Qian retreated a step, seemingly a little fearful.

    “I wouldn’t dare.

    But, if Lady Cui continues to hit you, I may be willing to help.” Jin Xin didn’t say who he’d help, but it was quite clear.

    Lady Cui immediately took a step forward.

    Seeing the situation turning against her, Madam Qian quickly beat a retreat.

    But before she left, she couldn’t resist dropping a threat, “If my son is dead, you will all be buried with him!”
