Chapter 58 The Robbery

Chapter 58 Robbery

Wan Qiong thought quickly, she needed to deal with Ye Xingguo and Ye Shenggge as soon as possible and return to Mingcheng. She had truly had enough of this place.

"Heh, you think I wouldn't dare? Hurry up and give me the money. The five thousand you mentioned, the extra two thousand will be my compensation for the trouble."

Wan Qiong was currently at a disadvantage and couldn't resist. She would settle these accounts later. The Wan family were not people to be bullied.

"Here's your money. Keep Ye Shenggge appeased, and make sure she's under your nose."

"Don't worry, I'll treat her well from now on."

Wan Qiong, dragging her weary body, climbed out of bed and took out five stacks of money from the cabinet, throwing them at Ye Xingguo. This was a humiliation in her life, a humiliation that had to be resolved.

Ye Xingguo had never seen so much money before. He snatched the money and stuffed it into his chest. He cupped Wan Qiong's chin and kissed her on the face.

"I'll visit you again another day, no charge."

Seeing Ye Xingguo's scoundrelly demeanor, Wan Qiong felt like skinning him alive.

Hearing Ye Xingguo's footsteps as he left, Ye Shenggge cautiously followed him. She took out a long stun baton from her space and quickly jabbed it into his lower back.

Ye Xingguo convulsed violently and collapsed without even a chance to cry out. Ye Shenggge continued to jab him for a while, as if venting her frustration. She reached out and stripped Ye Xingguo of all his money and valuables. Looking at the person on the ground, she kicked him a few more times. This scumbag of scumbags.

Ye Shenggge put the money into her space and turned to leave. She found a hidden spot and entered her space. After a night of exhaustion, she had no energy to go to Brother Kui for medicine. She had found Wan Qiong today and could deal with Ye Xingguo soon. Escaping the Ye family would lead to a better life.

The next morning, someone going out saw Ye Xingguo lying on the ground. Fearing something had happened, they quickly reported it to the police. When the police arrived, Ye Xingguo couldn't be woken up. He was sent to the hospital for treatment and only then did he regain consciousness.

The first thing Ye Xingguo did upon waking was to check his money. When he realized that even the money he had in his pocket was gone, he collapsed onto the hospital bed, completely drained. He refused to answer any questions from the police because he couldn't explain the source of the five thousand yuan. In those days, losing five thousand yuan was a top-tier case and would only cause him trouble.

Due to the lack of cooperation from the victim, the police couldn't be bothered to investigate further. Ye Xingguo returned home in a daze. Because he hadn't returned all night, there was another huge argument.

Ye Shenggge woke up very early, afraid of being discovered when she left her space. When she finally emerged, she realized she was in the alley behind the government building, not the family quarters. She went to the vicinity of Wan Qiong's residence, confirmed the marker again, and hid nearby, wanting to see what this woman looked like with her own eyes.

Wan Qiong didn't come out until past ten o'clock, and leisurely walked towards the government building. Ye Shenggge followed at a distance, her face covered with a scarf.

Wan Qiong indeed lived a very good life for that era. She was wearing a dark red one-piece dress, which was slightly out of place for her age. Although well-maintained, it was clear she was over thirty. Her looks were striking and captivating, full of charm.

Seeing Wan Qiong enter the office building, Ye Shenggge went to the guardhouse. The guard was an elderly man with an upright demeanor, clearly a retired soldier.

"Girl, who are you looking for? You need to register."

Ye Shenggge smiled and removed the scarf from her face, not wanting to arouse suspicion.

"Grandpa, I just saw an auntie in a red dress go in. She looked like my cousin, but I'm not sure if it's her."

"What's your cousin's name?"

"Her name is Wan Qiong."

"Then that's your cousin. Didn't you know she works here?"
