Chapter 317 - Their New Home
At the shocking realization of where they were, she fossilized on the spot.
They were at the sea port…
Was Li Dongqiang really going to follow the boy’s instruction to a T and feed them to the sharks?
“Do you have any last words?” The man looked at her sympathetically. After all, she had followed them since she was in junior high and inevitably gave raise to having some ‘playmate attachments’ toward her.
This was a rare moment of kindness from him.
She shook her wan face; she did not want to die!
However, he mistook that for not having any parting words and signaled the men beside him with his eyes.
“Remember to do a clean job!”
“Understood, Brother Qiang!”
He sniggered, stooped in front of her, and stroked her head in farewell. “Er, poor girl, tell me; why are you so stupid? It’s not that your brother here doesn’t want to help you. No matter what, we used to be close in some ways, but you tricked me first, so don’t blame me for being unkind now.”
With that, he stood up and watched his henchmen drag the two away.
She desperately kicked her legs in an attempt to escape as she broke down into tears.
A freighter was moored quietly in the harbor.
Li Dongqiang was not a typical ruffian. He had powerful connections to the mafia and the criminal world. Arms dealing, drug trafficking, money laundering – he had hands on anything that could be found on the black market. As such, it was understandable that he had a freighter under his name.
His henchmen threw the two on the vessel deck. Plop! Li Qin’s head hit the railing and she passed out.
Yun Na could only watch the freighter leave the port, a feeling of hopelessness growing inside her…
…
Yun Tianyou’s condition soon stabilized, and the doctor in charge, after giving some prescription, deemed him well enough to be discharged on Sunday.
On the day of his discharge, the hospital staff, from the primary attending physician down to the director, lined up at the hospital entrance to send them off.
“…”
Yun Shishi was left speechless by such a high-profile treatment.
The day before his discharge, she cleaned the house, spending half a day tidying up his study room.
When the car rolled into Xiangti Walk district, Yun Yecheng had a queer look on his face.
“Shishi, have we come to the wrong place? Why are we here? This is the district for the rich!”
She awkwardly replied, “Dad, we are in the right place…”
As the three of them stood in front of the gate, Yun Tianyou also had a strange look on his face.
“Mommy, this isn’t our home, right?”
“This is our new home.” Holding her chin, she deliberated on a better way to explain this to her family.
That man had unbelievably given her a garden house as a gift, somehow.
“A house here costs a few million yuan on average! Shishi… you…”
Her father’s face turned wan as he regarded her with incredulous eyes.
“You may not believe this…” taking a deep breath, she explained, “but I exchanged this with two bowls of noodles.”
Youyou: “…”
Yun Yecheng: “…”
Who would believe this?!
Both of them fell silent.
Two bowls of noodles in exchange for a house that cost a few million yuan?
What kind of an international joke was this?
Youyou, who was frowning, thought of something and suddenly broke into a quiet smile.
He knew who had gifted her this.
Anyway, he was not comfortable with the former apartment. That place was rather messy and unsafe. This was especially the case at night; danger lurked at every corner near the apartment with that bad neighborhood lying on its east side.
Xiangti Walk district, under Dragon Court Property Group, belonged to Disheng Financial Group.
In terms of safety and security, this place could not be faulted.
