Chapter 75
75 Family’s Reaction
“Father, Mother, don’t ask first. We’ve bought the clothes! Hurry up and boil a pot of hot water so that you can wash up first!” Li Xiaoran’s mind was tense.
Since the accident, she had been thinking about how to handle this matter.
Because Luo Cheng’s body was stained with other people’s blood and it didn’t flow on the ground, Li Xiaoran was slightly relieved.
“We’ve already boiled the hot water. Let him quickly wash up!” Li Shun seemed to have come back to his senses at this moment and quickly said, “Son-in-law, take off your clothes and give them to me later. I’ll take them to the kitchen to burn them for you!”
When Li Xiaoran heard her father’s words, she felt that it was the best solution, so she nodded and said, “Yes, yes, yes, burning it is the best solution!”
Luo Cheng had thought of the various reactions the Li family might have when faced with such a matter, but he didn’t expect them to help him resolve the problem.
From the moment the incident happened to now, from Li Xiaoran to Li Shun, no one blamed him. Instead, they helped him deal with the aftermath without knowing the reason.
Realizing this, Luo Cheng felt warm inside.
“Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, don’t worry! It was probably my former enemies hunting me down. It’ll be fine. I’ll go change my clothes first! However, I really can’t keep my clothes. I’ll have to trouble Father-in-law to burn them later!”
Li Shun nodded and took his daughter’s place. Then, he pulled Luo Cheng into the house.
On the other side, Zhao Xiu and Li Xiaoqing quickly scooped out the water from the pot and placed it in a wooden barrel.
w.a.n.g Mingjiang, who had been silent all this while, quickly came over to help.
Soon, Li Shun carefully took out the clothes and threw them into the stove.
After confirming that the b.l.o.o.d.y clothes had been burned to ashes, Li Shun heaved a sigh of relief.
While Luo Cheng was washing up, Li Xiaoran told her family what had happened.
“Father, Mother, I’m not sure if these people are here for Luo Cheng or me. After all, I just caused some trouble this morning!” Li Xiaoran finally said.
“Then what should we do now? We can’t keep hiding here and not go out, right?” Zhao Xiu said worriedly after understanding the whole story.
Li Shun thought for a moment and said, “Don’t be afraid! We’re victims. I think we should report this to the authorities!”
w.a.n.g Mingjiang thought of something and stopped them. “We can’t report it to the authorities. It’s better to pretend that nothing happened! Think about it, they secretly attacked and were killed by Luo Cheng. Perhaps the person behind it doesn’t know that it was Luo Cheng who attacked. If we go report it to the authorities now, won’t we be telling those people behind it that their killers were all killed by Luo Cheng?”
“Daughter, what do you think?” Zhao Xiu looked at her eldest daughter.
For some reason, at a time like this, she felt that since her eldest daughter was very calm, it was best to listen to her.
“Let’s discuss this matter together after you wash up! After all, we have too few clues now. It’s irrational to act rashly!” Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said calmly.
The reason she was so sure that Luo Cheng knew something was because she had sensed that he was very calm when she returned.
It seemed that with Luo Cheng’s ability, he could handle this matter well.
“That’s right. Don’t worry, the county magistrate will handle this matter well. When something happened just now, I already saw the people from the county office nearby. They witnessed the entire process of the sneak attack, so this matter will eventually be resolved properly!” Luo Cheng walked in and said after washing up.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was immediately relieved.
No wonder when they left earlier, Luo Cheng said that someone would deal with the rest.
So the officials were around! No wonder he was so calm and not worried at all.
At this moment, the door of the residence opened and Luo Han rushed in.
Behind him, there were a couple of bailiffs.
However, the bailiffs only stood in the courtyard and didn’t rush into the house.
Seeing Luo Cheng standing there unscathed in the main hall, Luo Han heaved a sigh of relief.
Luo Han walked over and punched Luo Cheng in the chest.
“You’re really lucky. You made me worry!”
“You know what I’m capable of!” Luo Cheng replied with a smile.
“No matter how capable you are, you can’t defeat so many people! Do you know that the people who came this time are a.s.sa.s.sins from the infamous Seven Kills Gang? The Seven Kills Gang really thinks highly of you! They didn’t want you to escape alive at all! You’re really lucky. Otherwise, I would have come to collect your corpse!” Luo Han said coldly.
“I’m fine. Besides, aren’t you afraid of scaring people by running over in this outfit?!” Luo Cheng reminded him.
Luo Han finally remembered something and turned to look at the several people staring at him.
“Brother Luo, so you’re the county magistrate?” Li Xiaoqing widened her eyes and stared at Luo Han.
Luo Han couldn’t help but laugh when he saw that his cover had been blown.
“That’s right! I didn’t expect to be exposed so quickly since you recognized me!”
When Li Xiaoqing heard this, she thought for a moment and asked, “Do we have to keep it a secret?”
Luo Han was amused to hear this.
“Of course! After all, I still have to travel incognito and look around. I want to see if anyone is causing trouble in the village so that I can uphold justice for the commoners!”
Li Xiaoqing immediately nodded and promised, “Then don’t worry, Brother Luo! Our family will keep it a secret! Also, Brother w.a.n.g will keep it a secret!”
w.a.n.g Mingjiang, who was suddenly called out by Li Xiaoqing, quickly nodded.
“Yes, yes, yes. I’ll keep it a secret too!”
After Luo Han looked at w.a.n.g Mingjiang, he suddenly felt that the person in front of him was familiar.
The more he looked at him, the more familiar he seemed! He seemed to have seen him somewhere before!
“Why are you staring at w.a.n.g Mingjiang?” Luo Cheng also noticed that something was wrong with Luo Han’s gaze.
w.a.n.g Mingjiang thought of something and suddenly shrank his neck to hide behind Li Shun.
“I remember now! Aren’t you the eldest son that Minister Wu’s family is looking for?”
“I’m not. You’ve got the wrong person!” w.a.n.g Mingjiang quickly covered his face and denied it.
