101 Chapter 101 Causing Trouble (2)
On the other hand, after the patriarch went back and interrogated the few people and got their confessions. He sent a beggar with a letter to the Qiao family, asking them to pay the ransom with silver or else they would send these people to the county officials.
Qiao Mu couldn’t make up his mind after receiving the letter, so he took the letter to find Elder Qiao.
After reading it, Elder Qiao’s face turned green. He immediately grabbed the teacup on the side and threw it at him angrily, “Idiot. You can’t even handle such a small matter. You even left such big leverage on us from the Gu family. ”
The teacup just so happened to hit Qiao Mu’s head, and the tea spilled all over him.
However, Qiao Mu didn’t dare to retort and could only obediently stand there with his head drooped. He cautiously asked, “Master, what do we do now? Are we going to pay them?”
After hearing this, Elder Qiao hesitated for a moment. He threw the letter aside and asked, “Are these people reliable?”
“It’s alright; they’re all veterans who have followed us quite a few times.”
“Then we won’t bail them out. Isn’t this just telling everyone we are the ones responsible? What can they do if we don’t acknowledge them?”
“But I’m afraid they’ll…”
“Send someone with a letter and tell them to hold on for two days. We’ll save them when they let down their guard.
“I’ll personally welcome them back when the time comes.”
“Then I will make the arrangements right away.” Qiao Mu affirmed.
“Be careful this time, don’t let anything go wrong.”
“Yes.” Qiao Mu responded, turned around, and walked out. Then, she had someone pa.s.s the letter to Blackie and have him think of a way to deliver the letter to those people.
On the other hand, Gu Chengrui also knew that the ransom would not go smoothly. Thus, after a meal, he went to the patriarch’s house to tell him about the matter and asked him to send more people to watch over those people.
When it was close to midnight, the moon was barely seen in the western sky, and the whole night sky was dark. It was a good time to do anything sneaky.
Zhou Ying and her husband changed into black sportswear and smeared their exposed skin with black ash so that other than the white of their eyes and teeth, there was no color other than black.
After that, they quietly left the village and went straight to the town. Then, they went to the wealthy district and found the Qiao estate.
However, looking at the two-meter-high wall, the two of them were in a dilemma.
After that, they split up and circled the Qiao estate before finally meeting up outside the stables.
Because there was a large paG.o.da tree outside the wall, although it was a certain distance from the wall, it was enough for them to climb up.
Just as Zhou Ying wanted to climb up with a rock climbing hook, Gu Chengrui pulled her to the side and said, “Give me a hand. There might be people guarding the stables. ”
“Then wait for me before you go down.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she handed him a half-dried piece of tissue that had been soaked in knockout powder.
Gu Chengrui nodded and quickly went up the tree.
After he went up, Zhou Ying also quickly climbed up and took out a tranquilizer gun from her inters.p.a.ce, just in case.
Seeing this, Gu Chengrui tied the rock climbing hook to the tree, grabbed the rope, and gently swung across the branches and walls into the courtyard.
He quietly walked to the stables. Sure enough, there was a person on duty sleeping soundly inside. Gu Chengrui covered his nose with his hand and made him sleep deeper.
Then, he walked out and waved to Zhou Ying. Zhou Ying put the tranquilizer gun back into her inters.p.a.ce and followed the rope into the courtyard.
After getting down, the two found a side door and walked around. They went in and made sure that there was no one inside. Later, they turned around and headed further into the mansion.
