The two were indeed a perfect match. Li Shiqin didn't give him the feeling of escaping in a hurry, but her lips were unusually tight, making it impossible to get any information from her.
Liu Baishi was a little unwilling and wanted to continue to find out the truth, but he couldn't do anything to her in public. So, when Wu Caiwei took a shortcut home again, she encountered the expected situation.
"Miss Li, our master wants to see you. Please come with us." As he said this, Wu Caiwei's front and back were blocked, and this narrow alley seemed to have no escape. If it were an ordinary woman, she would have to submit to their coercion, but how could Wu Caiwei be afraid of them?
"Who is your master? Liu Baishi or Master Xu?" Wu Caiwei crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, looking at them with an indifferent expression.
The men exchanged glances. Shouldn't she be trembling or begging for mercy in such a situation? Why did she seem like an outsider?
Without understanding the situation, the men dared not speak. Anyway, Wu Caiwei seemed fine, so they could just waste time.
They were thugs from the city. Although they were usually arrogant, they were best at observing people's expressions, knowing who could be provoked and who couldn't. Although the other party was a woman, her fearless appearance indicated she had support, and it was best not to provoke such a person. However, they had already taken the money, so they could only politely say, "It's Master Liu. Let's go now."
Wu Caiwei was quite satisfied with their attitude and felt they were sensible. She had originally intended to knock them to the ground, but she changed her mind. They couldn't even take one move from her. After thinking about it, she felt too lazy to trouble them. Liu Baishi wanted to see her, didn't he? She would go and see him. It remained to be seen if he could control himself and get anything out of her.
Seeing that the other party actively cooperated, the thugs breathed a sigh of relief. This was the first time they had encountered such a strange thing. They quickly led the way.
When Wu Caiwei appeared before Liu Baishi with a smile, Liu Baishi was also a little surprised. He didn't expect her to be so calm. If he put himself in her shoes, he would have been terrified and wouldn't have been as at ease as she was.
"Seeing me, you must know what I want to ask. This is a desolate place, and you should know that no one can rescue you. I advise you to submit obediently." The calmer she was, the more uneasy Liu Baishi felt. To get rid of this restless emotion quickly, he went straight to the point, wanting to finish it quickly.
"What if I don't say?" Wu Caiwei looked at him playfully. Sudan Novel Network
"If you insist on refusing a toast and prefer a penalty, then I'll have to teach you a lesson. In this desolate place, even if I take your life, no one will know." This was Liu Baishi's true intention. Only the dead wouldn't speak. To eliminate this threat, he didn't mind silencing her forever.
"You are truly ruthless. You can even harm your own biological daughter. I'm afraid your former wife, Li Jinyu, was also killed by you." Wu Caiwei's expression didn't change at all, and she didn't take his threat seriously.
Liu Baishi stiffened, then nonchalantly said, "My wife died of illness. Don't drag me into irrelevant matters. Tell me, are you Li Shiyun or not?"
Seeing his murderous look, Wu Caiwei was even more certain of her guess. When she hadn't mentioned her guess about Li Jinyu's cause of death, he just wanted to scare her. But after she said that, his expression immediately changed. Although he concealed it well, the ferocious glint in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
"Stop pretending. You're an ungrateful wretch. The Li family treated you so well, yet you can't be nurtured. You repay kindness with enmity, worse than a beast." This was Wu Caiwei speaking for the original owner, who had wanted to do this for a long time but never had the chance.
Liu Baishi narrowed his eyes. Seeing that she still wouldn't tell the truth at this point, he gestured, and the thugs immediately understood. Although they felt a little scared facing this woman, the money Liu Baishi gave them was too much. After a while, he understood the relationship between them. The father wanted to kill his daughter, and they were just doing it for money. They would be responsible for whoever was ruthless.
Just as the thugs were about to stab Wu Caiwei with their daggers, a flicker of triumph flashed across Liu Baishi's face. Unexpectedly, the next scene left him dumbfounded. Wu Caiwei didn't move at all, and the thugs surrounding her directly fainted.
Seeing their miserable state, Liu Baishi instinctively retreated. At this moment, he remembered what the county magistrate and Master Liu had said: the person who stole their silver was not only skilled in martial arts but also in medicine. Was it the woman in front of him? They had been out of the city for so long, and it was already dark outside. Thinking of this desolate place, his heart sank, and he felt a chilling sensation.
"Are you human or ghost?" As he said this, his whole body trembled, feeling that bringing people here rashly today was a foolish move.
"Is it a little late to ask this now? Didn't you want to know if I'm your daughter? If I told you that your daughter had already turned into a vengeful ghost in Lancheng to seek revenge on you, would you believe me?" Wu Caiwei showed a sinister and terrifying smile and reached out to touch his face.
Liu Baishi screamed and quickly retreated. He stumbled and fell to the ground.
"You know fear now? It's too late." After saying that, she stuck out her tongue and stepped forward step by step.
By now, the moon had gradually risen. Facing the light from outside, the person in front of him looked terrifying. Coupled with the atmosphere, Liu Baishi felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He shuffled backward bit by bit, his eyes wide with terror. When the person suddenly lunged at him, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Wu Caiwei looked at Liu Baishi, who had fainted from fright, and kicked him speechlessly. She felt it would be too easy for him if she let him off like this. After thinking about it, she took out the powder from her怀 and sprinkled it on him.
The next day, as soon as it was light, the thugs woke up and quickly shook the fainted Master Liu awake.
"Ghost! Ghost!" The awakened Master Liu recalled the scene before he fainted and screamed loudly, trembling all over.
The thugs quickly looked around and, confirming there was nothing unusual, breathed a sigh of relief. Then, thinking that it was broad daylight and even ghosts wouldn't dare to appear, their hearts were completely at ease. Looking at the terrified Liu Baishi, they didn't understand what had happened after they fainted. To be honest, their backs also felt cold. In all their years of roaming the city, this was the first time they had encountered such a situation. They didn't even see how the other party made their move before fainting.
