Chapter 1282: Chapter 1282

She quickly patted her chest and promised, “Don’t worry, Chief. I swear that it won’t happen again.”

Seeing that Chu Wanwan had come to a realization, the village chief waved his hand. “Forget it. It’s good that you know. I can’t continue to worry about you now. After all, you’re old and married. In addition, you have to take good care of Jiu Zhu and the other two. Don’t let him betray you. Besides, I’m getting old, and I need a successor. Right now, I really can’t think of anyone else other than Jiu Zhu.”

He tapped his hands on the chopping board. After a moment of silence, he said, “If there are any suspicious people around Jiu Zhu, you have to help me get rid of them. You have to tell me beforehand, understand? Don’t hide anything from me. If something happens, it’ll be too late. You don’t want to be betrayed, do you?”

As he spoke, his eyes were cold.

He knew his daughter the best. Moreover, he had made it clear that his daughter would definitely side with him.

At that time, if he could accuse Jiang Ming of having an affair, his daughter would listen to him no matter what. He could also get rid of Jiang Ming at the same time.

Sure enough, Chu Wanwan agreed. “Chief, you really know me the best. I understand what you said. I will definitely protect the fort and get rid of any suspicious people. Jiu Zhu should become a part of the village and be my husband. He has to be obedient.”

“That’s more like it.”

The village chief could not help but nod.

Although his daughter was a little stupid, he had to admit that she was quite clear about these things.

In fact, Chu Wanwan had other thoughts.

The most suspicious person now was none other than Xu Chuchu. At midnight, she would definitely go to the cafe to investigate. At the very least, she would have to see if Xu Chuchu was having an affair with Jiu Zhu.

In the cafe, Sikong Wuyuan could not help but raise his eyebrows when he saw that Chu Wanwan had not returned.

“Chu Wanwan left really quickly. A long time has passed. Could it be that there’s something wrong with the chief’s health?”

Although he said that, in reality, he felt that it was rather odd.

Judging from Jiang Ming’s medical skills, how could the village chief’s body have problems so quickly?

Chu Wanwan and the village chief were probably discussing how to deal with them.

As he thought about it, he felt a little angry.

The village chief had wanted to find fault with them time and time again. Wasn’t this a little too much? They had not done anything to let him down.

At most, they only wanted one stalk of Yellow Gall Grass.

He sighed in his heart. Yuan Hehe, who was beside him, could not help but look suspicious. “I feel that the chief is too determined to kill us. I’m afraid he won’t let this go until he kills us.”

As he spoke, he put the cup down and said faintly, “I think it’s impossible for us to stop for the next few days. When we get the Yellow Gall Grass, we should leave quickly. I really can’t stand it. We want to leave, but the chief might not want us to leave.”

Sikong Wuyuan frowned and was about to say something when he saw Chu Wanwan’s servant girl appear at the door of the cafe. He could not help but make a gesture to Jiang Ming and Yuan Hehe to keep quiet.

Jiang Ming turned around and saw Chu Wanwan’s servant girl.

Forget it. He wanted to say something. However, there was no need to say anything.

Chu Wanwan’s servant girl walked over slowly. She first bowed to Jiang Ming and the other two. Then, she smiled and said, “Miss wants you to continue to drink tea and chat here. She still has some things to do, so she won’t be coming.”

As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Ming again, still maintaining her smile.

“Jiu Zhu, Miss asked me to tell you that she is a little tired today, so she’ll sleep in a separate room. Please don’t worry.”

Huh?

What was going on?

Jiang Ming and the other two could not help but be dumbfounded.

This was too strange.

They were already married, yet she still wanted to sleep in separate rooms?

Who would believe this?

Jiang Ming pretended to smile and nodded. “I understand. You can go.”

The servant girl also nodded and left.

Sikong Wuyuan touched his chin and looked at Jiang Ming. “Did your charm suddenly decrease? Why isn’t Chu Wanwan obsessed with you anymore?”

“Go. She must have other thoughts.”

Yuan Hehe answered for Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming shrugged and did not suspect anything.

“Do you have any plans?” Sikong Wuyuan asked anxiously.

“Have a good sleep tonight. Don’t worry about anything else.” Jiang Ming smiled.

“Huh?”

Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe were dumbfounded when they saw that he did not answer their questions. They looked at each other, not understanding what Jiang Ming meant.

“Just listen to me and do as I say.”

Jiang Ming, however, looked mysterious.

Yuan Hehe suddenly thought of something. He looked at Jiang Ming in confusion.” What about you?”

“Me? I’m going to be busy tonight,” Jiang Ming said with a faint smile as he spun his teacup.

“Huh?”

The two of them were dumbfounded again, but they did not continue asking.

They knew that tonight was not going to be peaceful.

However, they should be able to find out about the shenanigans the next day.

The night came quietly, and the chirping of insects in the grass was inexplicably ear-piercing.

Chu Wanwan was dressed in black, and her eyes were cold. She had already arrived near the cafe.

She knew that she had to be more careful in such a situation. It was easy to get into trouble at night, but there should be no problem.

In addition, the strong suspicion in her heart could not be dispelled.

She composed herself and jumped into the cafe.

She wanted to see what was going on between Jiang Ming and Xu Chuchu.

She had to figure it out today. Otherwise, she would not be able to sleep at night.

The cafe was so dark that it was almost impossible to see one’s own fingers. Chu Wanwan fumbled around carefully and walked forward step by step. Then, she took out a lighter.

The flame lit up slightly, and he could see a little of the scene inside.

Unexpectedly, the floor was messy. Broken dishes were everywhere.

Chu Wanwan was speechless.

Why didn’t the staff clean up?

However, this had nothing to do with her. It would be satisfying if this cafe was destroyed!

She continued to look inside. She lifted the curtain and entered the backyard. After taking a few steps, she heard some sounds behind her.

“Who is it?”

The sounds behind her made her turn around immediately.

A gust of wind suddenly blew past and extinguished the fire.

Then, before she could think about it, a heavy blow hit her head. Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

“Bro, is that all?”

“Yes! Hurry up and be quick!”
