Chapter 199 - A Promise
Chapter 199: A Promise
With Shen Xiaoxiao’s fighting strength, dealing with such a pair of disheveled, nervous, and already exhausted people did not require any effort at all.
Clapping her hands, Shen Xiaoxiao stared at the two men who were easily dealt with by her with only 50% of her strength. She turned her head and stared at the man who looked at her with fear but hope in his eyes. She nodded and said to the old man with a smile, “You’re that Overseas Chinese? What’s your name again?”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the kidnapping case that had caused a stir back then, as well as his follow-up reports. It was really too big at that time. Its influence was not only at home, but also among the top two overseas.
The main reason was that after the death of this overseas Chinese, his two sons and one daughter’s inheritance fight had not been sorted out for many years. At that time, it was said that the amount of inheritance involved was extremely large, causing various media outlets to scramble to report it.
As for why this overseas Chinese was suddenly kidnapped when he returned to China to look for his family, this had also become an unsolved case in China. The main reason was that at that time, many people were guessing that it was because of his sons and daughters. Of course, this was only a rumor.
However, in the end, when Shen Xiaoxiao was locked up in the dark room, which was seven years after the inheritance lawsuit, the final property fell into the hands of this overseas Chinese’s eldest son, and it was 100% all owned by him.
Then it was revealed that his dragon and phoenix siblings were not the children of the deceased overseas Chinese, and their biological parents were also revealed, which was taken as a warning by many upper-class people.
Therefore, Shen Xiaoxiao remembered very clearly, because Liu Qianmin had said something unintentionally before. Fortunately, he only had one daughter, Liu Yufei, or else the inheritance of this aristocratic family would really be a huge knife hanging over his head.
Now that Shen Xiaoxiao knew the identity of this person, she directly asked this person.
The overseas Chinese was stunned. Looking at Shen Xiaoxiao’s actions, he was somewhat confused. Was this person trying to save him, or was she like those kidnappers who wanted to exchange his life for money?
“You… You… Please save me. These two people are kidnappers, kidnappers.”
“You haven’t told me yet. Who are you?”
“My, my, my name is Chen Aiguo.”
Chen Aiguo? Sure enough, it was him. Shen Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then walked over and untied the rope tied to Chen Aiguo’s body. She even took out a medicine bottle from his pocket and handed it to him.
Chen Aiguo was stunned. This girl was very meticulous. She even knew how to get medicine for him. Then this person would not have been sent by those people. It should be to save him. Yes, it was to save him.
Chen Aiguo was filled with hope for survival.
After Chen Aiguo finished taking the medicine and calmed down for a long time, Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the old man with messy hair and said, “Are you the returning overseas Chinese? Are the police outside looking for you?”
When Chen Aiguo heard Shen Xiaoxiao say this, he immediately nodded and said, “Yes, yes, definitely. They are all looking for me. Little girl, thank you. Thank you for saving me. I will definitely reward you heavily when I get out. Definitely.”
Shen Xiaoxiao saw that the old man seemed to have recovered after taking the medicine. In her heart, she felt that the old man might live a few more years.
“You want to repay me?”
“Yes, yes, Definitely. As long as you send me out of this mountain, I will definitely repay you well. My son and the others will definitely be anxious. It has already been a week. This matter is really troublesome.”
Shen Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes. This old man wanted to repay her. Since that was the case, why not…
“There’s no need for you to repay me. Why don’t you just owe me a favor? When I need it, I will naturally come and look for you.”
Chen Aiguo was stunned. What did this little girl mean by this? Owe a favor?
He was actually unwilling because it was easy to repay a debt of money, but it was not easy to owe a favor.
However, no matter how unwilling he was, this little girl had indeed saved his life. He had wandered around this deep mountain for three days and still couldn’t find a way out. Not only that, the police didn’t find them either.
This place was extremely hidden. There must be many unknown things waiting for them in the deep forest that had never been developed. It was not certain whether his old bones would be able to get out alive.
If that was the case, this little girl had really saved his life. It was not too much to ask for a favor.
Chen Aiguo lowered his head and pondered. Shen Xiaoxiao was not anxious at all. She had been waiting for him. After a while, Chen Aiguo seemed to have thought of something. He took out a jade pendant from his neck. It was a yellow Guanyin statue. However, there was an unexpected corner missing from the base of the Guanyin statue. It looked like the mark had been worn down. It looked like it had been worn for many years.
“With this, you can find me at Manduo Supermarkets in M Nation. If you can help me, I will not hesitate.”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the jade pendant and raised her eyebrows. This was really a big deal. She had actually received such a promise. She accepted it without hesitation and said to Chen Aiguo, “Go south along this road. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to walk out of the mountain forest when it gets dark.”
“You’re not going to send me out?”
Chen Aiguo was naturally shocked. After obtaining his promise, she was actually not going to send him out of the mountain. Wasn’t this a little inappropriate?
“These two people haven’t been dealt with yet. You should go. This is a supply bag. It should be enough for you to hold on. Moreover, you won’t encounter any trouble on this road. I guarantee that you won’t even see a single wild beast. I’ve already cleaned it up. Don’t worry.”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s seemingly casual remark made Chen Aiguo feel as if his facial features had been refreshed. They had encountered quite a few wild boars along the way, but this little sister-in-law actually said that he wouldn’t encounter any wild beasts. What kind of joke was this?
“You don’t believe me?”
“It’s not that I don’t believe you, but my body?”
“Hey, I knew you wouldn’t believe me. Come out!”
Shen Xiaoxiao shouted behind her. As expected, 19 walked out from the forest not far away. Now, Shen Xiaoxiao did not care why 19 did not walk together with Dark 1. Instead, he secretly ran over.
“Send this old gentleman out. Remember to send him safely to the police outside.”
“Yes, Miss!”
19 immediately nodded. He really understood their Miss too well. Not only was she extremely stubborn, but she was also a person of her word. Even if he did not agree to it today, this Miss would still force him to agree.
Moreover, this was a territory near the base, so it was impossible for anything to happen to the Miss. Therefore, 19 nodded and agreed without hesitation.
Chen Aiguo knew that 19 was a martial artist the moment he saw his appearance. His identity meant that he had no lack of bodyguards by his side. Therefore, when he heard that 19 was going to pull him away, he felt much more relieved.
However, he started to be curious. What was the identity of this young lady? She actually had such a bodyguard? And she even wanted him to do her a favor? Wasn’t his decision a little too hasty? Was it too thoughtless?
But the jade pendant had already been given away, and he couldn’t take it back. Moreover, his life was much more precious than these other things. So, he didn’t think that his promise was too rash.
“Thank you, young lady. Thank you!”
Seeing Chen Aiguo turn to leave, Shen Xiaoxiao suddenly said, “Mr. Chen is so lucky. When he goes back, it’s better to take good care of the family. Sometimes, no amount of money can buy family love, and cannot buy life!”
Shen Xiaoxiao left after saying that, leaving Chen Aiguo stunned for a long time.
