189 Ripples (1)
Gu Qingming’s daily highlight was listening to the fetal movements.
She played the prenatal teaching music and was in the midst of prenatal teaching and was looking forward to the birth of the child.
One, she suddenly received a call.
“Hey…”
“Aiyo, Great-aunt, you finally picked up the phone!” The other party sounded a little anxious. He said directly, “Great-aunt, we’ve found Liu Tiancheng!”
“Where?” Gu Qingming asked coldly.
Gu Qingming had been so comfortable recently that she almost forgot about the matter.
The other party said a place.
“Oh, right, I discovered something. Let me tell you!” Cheng Ba told Gu Qingming what he had discovered.
In the end, he said, “Young lady, we’ve already done what you asked us to do. Can you let us off in the future?”
Gu Qingming curled her lips and said, “It depends on my mood!”
“Huh? Aiyo, my little grandaunt, you can’t go back on your word!” Cheng Ba could not help but say anxiously, “You clearly promised us that as long as we find Liu Tiancheng’s whereabouts, you won’t report us, right? What do you mean by this?”
Gu Qingming chuckled and said, “Hehe, I realized that the few of you are quite useful. Of course, I can’t bear to abandon you.”
Cheng Ba was furious. He said angrily, “We’re not things or tools. I don’t care. We’ve already done what you asked us to do. If you still want to continue threatening us, then… then at most, we’ll fight to the death. Anyway, we already owe the casino more than 100,000 dollars in gambling debt and can’t repay it. So, even if we die, it’s worth it to drag a few people down with us.”
They did not know Gu Qingming very well. They only knew that her family was rich. Moreover, she could easily fight one-to-six last time.
However, everyone had a temper.
They had no money, and because of money, they almost kidnapped someone and committed a crime.
But hadn’t they been caught by the person involved? In addition, in recent days, because the casino had come to collect debts, not only had they become street rats, but even their families had been implicated and insulted. This made them repent.
The casino would give them more time. They would definitely gather the money and return the money. Even if they had to sell their blood and kidneys, they would return the money.
Therefore, while they were looking for Liu Tiancheng’s whereabouts, they were also looking for places where they could make a lot of money.
When Gu Qingming heard him flare up, she said indifferently, “I don’t know how many people you dragged down with you, but I can tell you for sure that you can’t drag me down with you. I have more money than you. You can’t beat me in a fight.”
Cheng Ba was speechless. He was so angry!
He gritted his teeth and asked, “Gu Qingming, what do you want? Although it was our fault that we wanted to kidnap you back then, didn’t we fail? Do you want this to threaten us for the rest of our lives?
“Let me tell you, it’s impossible. A cornered dog jumps over a wall, and a rabbit bites when it’s anxious. I, Cheng Ba, will turn myself in when I have no other options! Anyway, I haven’t committed a serious crime. At most, I’ll be locked up for a few more days and have to pay a fine .”
After saying this, he suddenly realized that his act of kidnapping wasn’t a crime. They only had the intention to commit a crime, but they had not fully carried out the crime.
So, what were they afraid of?
“Pfft!” Gu Qingming laughed out loud. “Hehe, looks like you’ve already realized.”
Hearing the other party’s mocking voice, Cheng Ba’s face turned red and white in anger.
“Alright!” Gu Qingming suddenly said in all seriousness, “Cheng Ba, although you have not completed the act of kidnapping, you have the intention of kidnapping. If I hadn’t exposed you on the spot that day, or if I couldn’t defeat you, it was hard to guarantee that you wouldn’t have succeeded in kidnapping me.”
“Speaking of which, I didn’t call the police right away back then to give you a chance to realize your mistake. You were also induced by someone to almost become criminals.
“Earlier, when you were collecting protection fees and bullying the weak, you acted somewhat inhumanely. However, at the very least, you did not harm the innocent.
“Once you carry out the act of kidnapping, hehe, you know the consequences even if I don’t tell you. So, Cheng Ba, what right do you have to be angry with me? I didn’t ask you to kidnap. I didn’t ask you to gamble!”
“I… I…” Cheng Ba was speechless.
They were just angry at being used by Gu Qingming.
After using them once, she still wanted to continue doing it.
However, he did not expect that behind this, there was actually kindness.
“Cheng Ba, you and your brothers should be grateful to me, shouldn’t you?” Gu Qingming said indifferently. “So, isn’t it only right for me to ask you to do a few more things? You self-proclaim to be experts in the martial arts world. Aren’t you the most loyal and grateful? Are you going to treat your benefactor who saved you from prison ungratefully like this?”
Cheng Ba was shocked by Gu Qingming’s warped logic and could not refute it at all.
“You… you… you, I… I… we’re not like that.”
Cheng Ba stammered and did not look confident at all, but then he asked with a red face.
“Then may I ask, Miss Gu, little grandaunt, what else do you want us to do? Let me say this first, we were just ordinary hooligans previously. We don’t have much ability or power, so don’t expect us to do anything big.”
Gu Qingming curled her lips and said, “I don’t expect you to do much. Don’t worry, whatever I tell you to do would be a piece of cake. You can definitely do it.”
Cheng Ba was speechless. He really wanted to beat this person to death.
Cheng Ba took a deep breath and said, “Miss Gu, just tell me what you need!”
“Yes, that’s more like it!”
Gu Qingming’s cold laughter traveled into Cheng Ba’s ears.
He reminded himself that the other party was indeed their benefactor now, so he had to endure it.
After Gu Qingming hung up on Cheng Ba, she fell into deep thought.
It had been almost two months since Gao Wenwen was captured by Lei Wenjun and the others. Why was Liu Tiancheng still around? Could it be that he really had nothing to do with the case in her previous life?
No, could it be that Lei Wenjun and the other two were not in cahoots with Liu Tiancheng?
So Lei Wenjun didn’t rat Liu Tiancheng out?
However, Gao Wenwen had heard their conversation at the scene, and it was obvious that they were in cahoots.
Gu Qingming thought for a moment and made another call.
“Dad, has there been any progress on Wenwen’s kidnapping?”
