Chapter 801: Remember Not to Fall for Him
"Wait," Nangong Tiancheng spoke calmly, "they might not want to pay and plan to capture your third brother to threaten us, considering we still have the weapons. So your third brother should be safe for now."
"That’s not necessarily true," Li Hui replied, "Those drug traffickers are inhumane, I think we need to go there ourselves and rescue Xiaojin in person."
"The drug traffickers over there have their own troops; even the official authorities can’t control them, so it would be very difficult for us to just go there," Nangong Tiancheng frowned.
Li Hui didn’t speak.
Nangong Ran grew more anxious and couldn’t help saying, "Do you really think it was for money that third brother went? I don’t believe it!"
Triple the profit of even a professional, even a pig would smell a scam, could her third brother really be that foolish?
"Do you remember Miao Wu?" Li Hui looked towards Nangong Tiancheng.
Nangong Tiancheng didn’t speak.
Nangong Ran widened his eyes, "What Miao Wu? Wailing too, what the devil is that?"
Li Hui took a deep breath, "Miao Wu, your third brother’s dance partner ten years ago, who later died mysteriously, and after that, your brother quit dancing and took over the family business. This time he insisted on going to Miaojiang, I suspect it has something to do with Miao Wu."
"Was Miao Wu from Miaojiang?" Nangong Ran asked, puzzled.
"Yes," Li Hui nodded, "Miao Wu’s grandfather was the village chief of an ancient village in Miaojiang. When Miao Wu died, his grandfather was very angry, insisted it was your third brother’s fault, and even threatened to curse him with the Poisonous Insect Technique to lead a miserable life.
Though the Poisonous Insect Technique is unreliable, we initially used all our resources and spent a lot of money to suppress this matter."
"If it was suppressed, why did third brother still go?" Nangong Ran furrowed his brows, more confused, "And isn’t this Miao Wu dead? Since it was a falling out with her grandfather, why would my third brother still go?"
"How would I know?" Li Hui shrugged, "Maybe he just wanted to take this opportunity to pay respect to Miao Wu."
Nangong Ran was speechless.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "Alright, if that’s the case, then he asked for it, serves him right, no one would feel sorry if he died."
After saying that, Nangong Ran walked away, wiping tears.
Li Hui frowned, "This child."
Nangong Tiancheng glanced at Li Hui and finally said, "Why tell the girl so much? Pack up, we’re leaving immediately."
"Yes," Li Hui nodded.
Di Jinxuan lay in bed unable to sleep, and it was a long while before Nangong Ran’s call finally came through.
She quickly answered the phone and asked, "What did your parents say?"
"It’s no big deal, my parents will find a way," Nangong Ran said listlessly.
Having just finished saying that, she asked again, "Xuanxuan, are you very worried about my third brother?"
"Aren’t you worried?" Di Jinxuan retorted.
"I am worried," Nangong Ran said candidly, but eventually spoke up again, "Xuanxuan, you and I grew up together, even though we aren’t born of the same parents, I regard you as close as a sister. I’m very worried about my third brother being in trouble, I know you are a kind person, and you’re equally worried.
I don’t know what happened between you and my third brother in the past, but what I want to tell you now is that my third brother is too complicated, or perhaps he has been through too much, and you are so pure, like a blank slate, honestly, I feel he doesn’t deserve you.
Though I’ve always wanted to pair you up with my third brother, thinking you two were a perfect match, I’m now realizing more and more that you two are not suited at all, it would be tough for you to be with my third brother.
So, no matter what happens to my third brother, remember not to fall for him, just treat him like your brother as before."
As she spoke, Nangong Ran couldn’t help but cry.
