Chapter 98: Drunk and Falling Into the Water, an Old Friend From the Escort Agency (Subscription Request)

Li Chunfeng saw that Song Renqiang seemed to be really angry, so he didn't dare to talk back, but apologized honestly.

Song Renqiang was still angry.

"I tell you, if it weren't for the life-and-death friendship between your father and I, I wouldn't have tried so hard to help you. You should be honest to me during this period, especially to have a good relationship with Commander Zhao. Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes, I understand, don't worry, godfather!"

Song Renqiang left after Li Chunfeng's repeated assurances.

After he left, Li Chunfeng had nowhere to vent his anger, and he actually pointed the spearhead at Zhao Ya.

"Damn it, it's all your fault, Zhao, for causing me to get slapped. Just wait and see, sooner or later I will step on you, and then even your little girl will belong to me!"

Li Chunfeng cursed and said a lot of cruel words, and then left.

But he had no idea that Zhao Ya would appear from behind a bush of flowers just after he left.

He had heard the conversation between Song Renqiang and Li Chunfeng, including Li Chunfeng's final rage.

Song Renqiang was quite aware of the overall situation, but Li Chunfeng...

To say that he was a waste was an exaggeration.

Zhao Ya looked at the direction where Li Chunfeng left with a deep gaze, and then quietly disappeared into the bushes.

At night.

Li Chunfeng, who was drunk with a few friends, staggered towards his residence.

"Stretch out your hand, touch my sister's head, my sister's head smells sweet..."

Li Chunfeng hummed and sang the Eighteen Touches, but in his head he was thinking about which woman to find tonight.

Should we try Xia Hongyu again?

It's been so long, I guess the guy who attacked me secretly has forgotten about it.

The more Li Chunfeng thought about it, the more reliable it seemed. His footsteps involuntarily turned to the direction of the laundry.

There was a large pond next to the laundry, which was filled with dirty water from washing clothes. Even the water used to flush the toilet was poured into it. In the summer, it was stinking.

Even though it was the coldest time of the year, the water inside would not freeze, and a pungent odor could still be smelled when approached.

It was already dark when Li Chunfeng walked to the edge of the pond, and he began to think about how to get Xia Hongyu out.

At this moment, someone suddenly patted his shoulder.

Li Chunfeng was startled, and when he looked back, he found Zhao Ya standing behind him.

"Zhao... Commander Zhao, why are you here?" Li Chunfeng suppressed the panic in his heart and smiled.

"Oh, I just passed by here and saw you standing here, so I came over to say hello." Zhao Ya smiled.

"Why are you still not sleeping so late? What are you doing around the laundry shop?"

"Oh, I just drank too much and took the wrong road. I'm going back now!" Li Chunfeng explained, turning around and leaving.

"Did you take the wrong road, or are you looking for someone here?" Zhao Ya said indifferently.

"Hmm? What are you talking about, Commander Zhao?" Li Chunfeng was puzzled.

Zhao Ya chuckled and said playfully: "I guess you are here to find Xia Hongyu!"

Li Chunfeng was struck by lightning, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"That... that night..."

"Yes, that person that night was me!"

Li Chunfeng instantly felt his hair stand on end, and he was awakened by the alcohol. He turned around and wanted to run.

But it was too late. Zhao Ya grabbed his neck from behind and strangled his shouts in his throat.

Li Chunfeng was originally weak, and now he was hollowed out by alcohol and sex. How could he be Zhao Ya's opponent?

In addition, because of his short stature, Zhao Ya carried him to the pond like a chicken.

Li Chunfeng immediately understood what fate was waiting for him, so he struggled hard with a face full of fear.

"To be honest, if you had listened to your godfather and stopped doing bad things, I might not have killed you. Unfortunately, you are responsible for your own sins, and you can't blame others."

Zhao Ya grabbed Li Chunfeng's neck with one hand, took out a small bottle with the other hand, and poured all the medicine in the bottle into Li Chunfeng's mouth.

Li Chunfeng struggled hard, but how could he be Zhao Ya's opponent.

After drinking most of the medicine in a bottle, Li Chunfeng felt dizzy and limp, and had no strength at all.

"How is it? This feeling is very familiar, right?" Zhao Ya said lightly.

Li Chunfeng was full of despair.

He was indeed familiar with this feeling, because he often used knockout drugs to deal with women who refused to submit.

But he didn't expect that he would end up like this.

Seeing that Li Chunfeng had completely lost his strength, Zhao Ya let go of his hand.

Plop!

Water splashed everywhere.

Li Chunfeng wanted to struggle, but he had no strength in his body, and he couldn't even shout for help. He could only let the cold water slowly drown him.

The last scene he saw was Zhao Ya standing on the shore and smiling.

At this time, Li Chunfeng finally felt regretful.

He should have listened to his godfather and had a good relationship with Zhao Ya.

But it was too late to say anything now.

The pool water soon completely submerged him.

Zhao Ya did not rush to leave, but waited calmly on the shore, counting silently in his heart.

One, two...

Finally, when he counted to about sixty, he saw many bubbles on the water, but after just over a minute, these bubbles disappeared.

After a while, Li Chunfeng's body slowly floated to the surface of the water.

After making sure that he couldn't die any more, Zhao Ya turned his head and looked at the laundry shop in the distance.

At this time, the lights in the laundry shop were still on.

Those who stayed in here were the lowest servants of the Song family, responsible for washing all the clothes and cleaning items in the mansion.

Because the tasks were heavy, they often worked overtime at night.

I guess Xia Hongyu was also busy at this time.

But Zhao Ya just took a look and then turned away.

For him, killing this Li Chunfeng was no different from killing a chicken.

If it wasn't for hiding his tracks, Zhao Ya would have done it directly on the small road during the day.

Now that the matter was completed, Zhao Ya also got rid of a worry. He walked briskly to avoid the night patrol and went home to sleep.

At dawn, Xia Hongyu got up and got busy.

This was her habit. Even if she was busy late last night, she would get up on time in the morning.

Because only in this way could she wash more clothes, earn more money, and buy more medicine.

Because of this habit, she was also nicknamed as a money-grubber by the female workers who worked with her, and even ridiculed.

But Xia Hongyu never argued, just worked silently.

Sometimes even the mother-in-law who was in charge couldn't stand it anymore and would say a few words for her.

In the long run, she was isolated by all the female workers.

But this was exactly what Xia Hongyu expected.

She didn't want to have contact with anyone.

Especially the last time, she believed the words of a female worker in the same room and went out to buy things with her, but was drugged by Li Chunfeng without knowing it.

If she hadn't been saved by the masked hero, she would have died long ago.

Because of this, Xia Hongyu became more and more wary.

Today, she lowered her head to wash clothes as usual, and suddenly heard a commotion outside, and then a female worker shouted loudly.

"Someone drowned!"

"Oh my God, it seems to be a man!"

Hearing the shouting, Xia Hongyu raised her head and looked outside the yard with some confusion.

The pond outside the courtyard was indeed very dangerous, and she had to be extremely careful even when she went to dump the dirty water.

But except for the laundry women, no one would approach the pond on weekdays.

Especially a man.

Xia Hongyu hesitated, put down her work, and followed the crowd to the edge of the pond.

At this time, Li Chunfeng's body had been hooked to the shore with a pole.

Although his face was a little swollen after soaking in the pond all night, Xia Hongyu still recognized Li Chunfeng at a glance.

The shadow cast by that night was so great that she still often had nightmares.

And now this evil man who coveted her is dead, and died in a pond not far from her work.

It can be imagined that he must have come here last night.

So what was he doing here in the middle of the night?

Xia Hongyu felt cold all over and couldn't stop shivering.

Because Xia Hongyu knew very well that if Li Chunfeng hadn't been drowned, she would have been in trouble last night.

Thank God, whether he fell into the water or was killed, he finally died.

Xia Hongyu muttered silently in her heart.

At the same time, Song Renqiang also rushed over after hearing the news.

When he saw Li Chunfeng's swollen body, his face became extremely ugly.

Although Song Renqiang was sometimes angry at his godson, he was still very emotional after all, as the offspring of his best friend.

But he didn't expect that he was fine yesterday, but he was gone overnight.

"What happened?" He asked a farmhand who was checking the body.

"To reply to the housekeeper, I didn't find any suspicious scars on Leader Li, and judging from the traces at the scene, it should be a moment of carelessness and falling into the water."

Song Renqiang had a gloomy face and didn't say anything, and suddenly turned his head to look at the laundry workers not far away.

"You are the closest here. Did you hear any noise last night?"

"Reply...Reply to the housekeeper. We didn't hear any noise last night!" A brave female worker responded in a trembling voice.

Song Renqiang frowned and his eyes swept across the faces of each female worker.

Others were okay. Although they were afraid, they had no other thoughts.

Only Xia Hongyu had many things hidden in her heart, so when Song Renqiang looked at her with sharp eyes, her face turned pale instantly.

Such a strange phenomenon naturally attracted Song Renqiang's attention.

In fact, he was also a little surprised why Li Chunfeng would run here in the middle of the night without sleeping.

But when he saw that Xia Hongyu was dressed simply and without makeup, but could not hide her beauty, Song Renqiang couldn't help but understand.

His godson's coming here must be related to this woman.

However, Song Renqiang was so experienced that he didn't show any abnormality at the time. Instead, he turned around and asked: "Who came to drink with Chunfeng last night?"

Several farmhands stood up tremblingly.

"Did Chunfeng do anything unusual when you were drinking?"

"No...nothing unusual!" one of them said.

"No, didn't Chief Li mutter last night when he was drinking that he didn't like Zhao Ya and would definitely deal with him if he had the chance..." said a farmhand next to him.

Song Renqiang was shocked when he heard this and suddenly shouted.

"Nonsense!"

Then he rushed forward and slapped the farmhand in the face.

"Can you pronounce the name Zhao Ya? Moreover, Commander Zhao and my father and son have a good relationship, and Chunfeng admires him very much. How can you say such a thing? I think you are just confusing right and wrong."

The village man was so frightened that he stood there with his hands on his face and was stunned.

An unspeakable fear suddenly emerged in Song Renqiang's heart.

Because Zhuang Ding’s words reminded him.

If... Li Chunfeng is really killed by Zhao Ya, will he have to deal with me next?

The reason why Song Renqiang was so attentive to Zhao Ya these days, even to the point of flattery, was because he had a strong sense of crisis.

You must know that this Zhao Ya was personally recruited into the mansion by Tan Ziwang. Now that he has soared into the sky, it also means that Tan Ziwang, who has been suppressed by him before, will hopefully take a further step.

That's not what Song Renqiang wants to see.

But if not him, who would it be?

Song Renqiang was in a state of confusion.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and then Zhao Ya and Tan Ziwang separated from the crowd and walked over.

When he saw the corpse on the ground, Zhao Ya couldn't help but said with surprise: "Isn't this Chief Li? What's going on?"

Seeing them coming, Song Renqiang became more and more uneasy.

At this time, he had long forgotten the death of his godson, and all that was left was fear.

But he still pretended to be sad.

"Yes, it's that kid from Chunfeng. He somehow ended up here after drinking last night. He fell into the water while drunk, and ended up like this."

Song Renqiang took the initiative to characterize the incident as drunkenness and falling into the water, and then carefully observed Zhao Ya's reaction.

But he was disappointed.

He found nothing but shock on Zhao Ya's face.

On the other hand, Tan Ziwang sighed when he saw this.

"I had long thought that this pond was dangerous, but no one cared about it, and finally something happened."

If it had been normal, Song Renqiang would have argued with Tan Ziwang, but now he was no longer in that mood.

"People cannot be resurrected after death. Butler Song, please don't worry too much." Zhao Ya comforted him.

This was an ordinary comforting statement, but Xia Hongyu in the crowd was shocked when she heard it, and then looked at Zhao Ya in great surprise.

That night, before leaving, the masked hero also said these four words to himself: "Don't worry about it."

Regardless of the tone or voice, they are all so similar.

Could it be... it's him?

Xia Hongyu's heart was filled with emotions.

"Thank you, Commander Zhao, for your comfort, but how can I not be sad? Alas."

Song Renqiang lamented, wiped away the non-existent tears, then had Li Chunfeng's body collected and staggered away.

After he left, Zhao Ya glanced at the female workers not far away and smiled slightly.

"You should disperse as well."

After saying that, Zhao Ya also left.

After he left, the female workers gathered together to discuss excitedly.

"Wow, this guard commander is so young!"

"I heard that he fought off a group of robbers by himself and saved the eldest lady. It's really amazing."

"He's so handsome, and he even smiled at me!"

"Stop dreaming, that's just smiling at me!"

Amid the discussion, Xia Hongyu gradually regained her composure, then silently turned back and continued her work.

It's just that Xia Hongyu is always a little absent-minded due to the busy day.

evening.

After dinner, Xia Hongyu did not continue working, but asked her mother-in-law for leave.

The mother-in-law in charge was quite fond of her.

After all, Xia Hongyu works diligently and never picks and chooses. Who wouldn't like such a worker?

So after a few simple questions, the housekeeper gave her a pass.

The rules of the Song family are very strict. If servants want to enter or exit, they must have a pass.

Xia Hongyu took the pass and came to the back corner door. This is where hired lower-level servants like Xia Hongyu usually come in and out.

The guard in front of the door knew her, and after taking a look at the pass, he gave a kind reminder.

"Try to come back as soon as possible, it's not peaceful outside right now."

Xia Hongyu nodded gratefully and then left the Song family.

She first went to the pharmacy to buy some medicine for her injuries with all the money she had, and then walked out of the pharmacy with helpless or sympathetic eyes from the pharmacy clerk.

After walking along the street for a while, Xia Hongyu turned into a small alley, then turned around, and finally came to the door of a small courtyard.

The courtyard door was ajar, Xia Hongyu pushed it open, and then an old voice came from the room.

"Is it Ruby?"

"It's me, grandpa!" Xia Hongyu agreed, opened the door curtain and walked into the house.

The room was dark and filled with a strong stench.

Xia Hongyu lit the oil lamp.

There was a scrawny old man lying on the kang.

There were several bone-deep scars on the old man's chest, as if he had been caught by some raptor.

Despite the cold weather, the wound became infected and rotted due to lack of medical treatment.

Xia Hongyu first tidied up the room, changed the bed sheets and bedding for the old man, and then carefully took out a small bottle.

The bottle contained a little black ointment, and Xia Hongyu cherished it and applied it little by little on the old man's wound.

But the wound is so big, how can this little ointment be enough?

It's nothing more than a psychological comfort.

Seeing Xia Hongyu's obviously thin chin, the old man sighed and said, "Good boy, it's Grandpa who has caused me trouble."

"Don't say that, grandpa. Without you, I wouldn't be alive now." Xia Hongyu said very calmly.

Then she suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa, do you know Changlong Escort Agency?"

"Changlong Escort Agency? Why do you ask this?" the old man asked strangely.

"It's nothing. It's just that a person from the Changlong Escort Agency joined the Song family during this time."

"Of course I know about the Changlong Escort Agency. Speaking of which, their chief escort chief Meng Lei had a good relationship with me. Sometimes if the escorts were too big and they couldn't eat, they would call us. After all, our Jinsheng Escort Agency was also in Wuxiang City at that time. What a resounding font size.”

The old man showed a trace of nostalgia, and there seemed to be light in his eyes.

But soon the light was extinguished, and the old man said in a low tone: "Unfortunately, none of them exist anymore. Jinsheng is gone, Changlong has also fallen. Except for a few of the old friends who have taken refuge with the Hong family, the rest Very few survived."

Xia Hongyu was silent.

The room was unusually quiet.

It wasn't until a while later that the old man recovered from his depressed state.

"What was the name of the person who joined the Song family? What is his current level of cultivation?"

"His name is Zhao Ya. He seemed to be just a handyman of the Changlong Escort Agency at first, but now he has reached the third level of cultivation. Not long after he joined the Song family, he was promoted to the guard commander."

Xia Hongyu told everything she knew about the situation, except what happened that night.

In fact, she didn't know much about the Three Realms and Not Three Realms. Although she came from a bodyguard family, her father thought that a girl could just learn some female prostitutes, so he didn't teach her any martial arts.

When the Hong family made a bold move and the escort agency suffered a big change, both her parents died in the battle. She only managed to escape with the help of her grandfather Xia Feiying's desperate protection.

But because of this, Xia Feiying was seriously injured and was half paralyzed in bed.

After listening to his granddaughter's story, Xia Feiying's eyes lit up.

"Oh? You said that this person is already a warrior of the third realm before he is eighteen years old?"
