Chapter 192 2 requirements
Li Xiuning's expression was indescribably strange. After a pause, he said, "You'll know when you see him later."
Chen Xuan rarely saw this kind of expression on her, and his curiosity grew even more.
Soon, Ling Mo arrived. He stayed here tonight and did not go back to the martial arts training ground.
Behind Ling Mo, there was a woman. The woman had a slender figure. Although she looked old, she had the mature charm unique to women and her grace remained.
She has fair skin that is well maintained, and a well-proportioned figure that makes it almost impossible to look away once you see her.
However, Chen Xuan recognized her identity at first sight.
This is Zhang Tianci’s mother, Zhang Tao’s wife, and Qin Baiye’s biological sister—Qin Tingyu!
Because her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Qin Baiye, after all, they are siblings.
Moreover, Zhang Tianci inherited a lot of her appearance, so Chen Xuan was able to recognize her at a glance.
In addition to Qin Tingyu, there was also a bald, fat-headed man with a big belly that looked like a wine barrel.
However, this man was tied up and was in a coma. It seemed that he had been beaten by Ling Mo.
"Master Chen!"
As soon as Ling Mo saw Chen Xuan, his expression immediately became serious, but he called out respectfully.
Chen Xuan smiled and nodded without saying anything, waiting for Ling Mo to explain why he came back so early.
"Master Chen, this is Qin Tingyu."
Ling Mo took the initiative to introduce, "Tingyu, this is Master Chen."
"Meet Master Chen."
Qin Tingyu bowed slightly and looked very knowledgeable and well-mannered. His voice was like a lark, which made people feel very comfortable listening to it, like bathing in the spring breeze.
"Hehe, hello."
Chen Xuan chuckled.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. If someone is so polite to you, of course you should be polite to them as well.
However, Chen Xuan was a little confused. What did Ling Mo call Qin Tingyu just now?
Listen to the rain?
He actually called the person by her name instead of calling her Madam Qin or Madam Zhang.
Calling someone's name seems a bit ambiguous, doesn't it?
You know, she is a married woman!
Chen Xuan vaguely felt that there was something wrong with these two people?
It shouldn't be.
Something feels wrong, but I can't quite put my finger on what.
"Master Chen, Tingyu already knows what we did."
Ling Mo suddenly explained.
Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment.
Ling Mo didn't want to hide it from him, so he continued, "I told her everything. From the first day you, Master Chen, came to Man City until now, I told her everything that happened."
Chen Xuan: “…”
At this moment, he was a little speechless.
Originally, he wanted to trick Qin Tingyu into selling her property and shipping all the silver she got to Mancheng.
Once the money goes into Chen Xuan's pocket, it's all his.
Unexpectedly, Ling Mo actually told the truth to others.
Please, we kidnapped her husband, son, and brother!
If you tell her the truth, will she still give you the money?
Seeing Chen Xuan's expression, Qin Tingyu naturally knew what he was thinking.
After a pause, she said, "Master Chen, my brother, husband, and son have committed countless evil deeds and have ended up in this situation. They brought this upon themselves, and I will not defend them in the slightest."
"Also, I know what you want, Master Chen. Our combined assets are indeed nearly four hundred thousand taels."
"But in reality, our silver and gold combined only amount to about 200,000 taels. The remaining 200,000 taels are from shops, farmland, restaurants, and other businesses across the 24 cities. By selling these assets, we can raise nearly 200,000 taels."
"If you want it, Master Chen, I can give it all to you."
Qin Tingyu's voice was very soft, sounding like a gentle woman telling a story.
Chen Xuan was stunned when he heard this.
Qin Tingyu actually planned to give him all the family property?
Why does this sound a bit unrealistic?
Not only did Chen Xuan find it outrageous, Li Xiuning and the others also found it a little unbelievable.
That’s four hundred thousand taels of silver, all your family’s belongings!
"You gave me all your property, so you must have some request."
Chen Xuan thought for a moment and said.
Although this matter is outrageous, Qin Tingyu has already come here, which is like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.
If Chen Xuan doesn't let her go, she can't leave. It can be said that Chen Xuan can control her however he wants!
Qin Tingyu nodded slightly and said softly, "I have two requests, one is excessive, and the other is not excessive."
"Let's listen to the one that's not too excessive first." Chen Xuan said.
"I hope Master Chen will show mercy and spare my brother, husband, and son."
Chen Xuan touched his chin and nodded. "This request is indeed not excessive. Don't worry. As long as they work hard to reform themselves, I will not harm them. When the time is right, I will release them. If you want to visit them, I will not stop you."
Chen Xuanguan was not keeping them fed, but wanted them to work. Every day they had to hoe the fields, carry manure and irrigate the fields. Only by working hard could they have food to eat, so that they could experience what it meant that every grain of rice was hard-earned.
"Let's talk about that excessive request." Chen Xuan continued.
He was rather curious as to what this excessive request was.
Qin Tingyu did not reply immediately, but glanced at Ling Mo first. After seeing Ling Mo nodded slightly, she took a deep breath and said:
"Please, Master Chen, save me!"
"Huh?" Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment, wondering if he had heard it wrong?
At this moment, Qin Tingyu suddenly clasped his fists and knelt on the ground.
"What are you doing? Get up quickly."
Chen Xuan didn't have the habit of letting others kneel down to him, so he quickly helped her up and couldn't help asking, "What do you mean by asking me to save you? Are you sick? Or something?"
A trace of shame appeared on Qin Tingyu's face. For a moment, he didn't know where to start and was hesitant to speak.
"Let me tell you."
Ling Mo sighed, took a step forward, and explained, "After I arrived in Tiger City, I immediately found Tingyu's pawnshop and wanted to see her. I didn't expect..."
Ling Mo told what happened.
Everyone suddenly realized.
"No wonder you brought back a fat pig you didn't recognize. It turns out this pig is a direct descendant of the Zhao family, the largest family on the border. His uncle is actually the King of Zhenxi."
Only then did Chen Xuan realize that this greasy, black, fat man had such a powerful background.
Whether it is the identity of the direct descendant of the Zhao family or the identity of the nephew of the King of Zhenxi, any one of these identities alone can definitely allow him to walk around the border with ease.
