Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass - Chapter 264
Chapter 264: Well Known in the City 9
Jiang Yeqian’s hands that were washing the dishes paused as he thought about all this. He poured the dirty water and boiled some more water, then ran the dishes through hot water once again.
After he was done, he wiped the dishes and chopsticks clean and arranged them neatly.
He even shocked himself to realize that he had finished all the work.
The dignified Head Grand Secretariat chose not to live a good life but was washing dishes here instead, and washed them very cleanly, at that!
…
There was no news of the assassins hired by the Yulong Gang and the other various factions. At the same time, they received intel from the government office that the perpetrator of the Lingyun Restaurant Massacre should be a Grand Master. However, none of the Seven Grand Masters were in Qingzhou City.
This matter was very mind-boggling.
However, more importantly.
“I heard that the little lady is not called Cuihua. What’s her name?”
“She’s called Qi Qingyao!!”
“Qi Qingyao??”
The factions finally knew the real name of this ‘Cuihua’ overnight.
After the news traveled to Li Qing, he quickly looked for Heir Pei, who was having a meal.
He interrupted Pei Fengtang without caring that he was having a meal.
“Lord Heir, there was another incident last night.”
“What’s the matter?” Pei Fengtang had been in a calm mood lately.
“In order to test the abilities of Ox-head and Horse-face who were by Qi Qingyao’s side, various factions in Qingzhou City had hired a large number of killers to take her out.” Li Qing unconsciously licked his lips as he said this.
“What happened then?” Pei Fengtang asked.
Li Qing looked down and frowned. “I heard the diener say that the young men with ox-head and horse-face masks were unscathed. However, the front entrance and back entrance were all… filled with corpses! The diener had taken away all the dead bodies before sunrise. There were multiple carriages full of them, and the blood on the ground had been washed away by the heavy rain. There weren’t any traces left. According to detailed intel, there were a total of 60 to 70 dead.”
“How strong were the killers?” Heir Pei did not even open his eyes.
Li Qing said, “A few rank sevens, mostly rank fives, and rank sixes.”
Pei Fengtang’s hand that was holding the chopsticks paused. He looked up slightly. “If they were unscathed, it means that ox-head and horse-face are at least rank nine.”
“Is it possible that they are ranked eight?” Li Qing suggested.
Pei Fengtang shook his head. “Impossible. If they are rank eight, they would have been injured if they had fought multiple waves of people for a few hours on a rainy night. There would be absolutely no chance of retreating unscathed. So, these two must be rank nines.”
“Rank nines…” To be able to hire two rank nines as bodyguards, that was impossible… Li Qing felt a wave of dread just thinking about it.
Pei Fengtang got up and stood by the window. He looked at the heavy rain outside that had been pouring the entire night and was still going strong today. It looked like it was about to stop, however. He was silent for a moment before he said, “Who is she exactly? To have two rank nines by her side as enforcers.”
Li Qing said, “Lord, she must be Su Hexiao. I now feel that your instincts were right. If she isn’t Su Hexiao, how could she have two rank nines as her enforcers?”
“Having two rank nines as enforcers, what a waste.” Pei Fengtang was a little jealous. Even his Li Qing was only a rank eight powerhouse! That woman, on the other hand, has rank nine guards by her side, and had even f*cking claimed that she just picked them up. Who the f*ck believed that! How about she try picking up another one?
Li Qing nodded. “How indulgent indeed!”
Pei Fengtang said, “I’m becoming more and more curious about her.”
…
After Qi Qingyao ate her meal, she felt a little bored. It was raining heavily today, however, and she could not go out to play. How about taking a nap?
As she was worrying about what to do…
Jiang Yeqian suddenly said, “I think someone’s knocking on the door.”
