Chapter 432 Asking for money
After hearing this, the gangster nodded with satisfaction, and then threatened: "Okay, then you should go find your father-in-law right now! Remember, we want to see the money in three days! If we don't get the money by then, don't blame us for being rude to you! Although we dare not cause trouble for the Lou family, you... hehe, it won't be so easy for you!"
Xu Damao's heart tightened, but he still tried to remain calm on the surface, nodding his head repeatedly and saying, "Don't worry, I'll go find my father-in-law right away. I believe he will find a way to raise the money. After all, he loves his daughter so much, he will definitely not watch me get beaten by you, right?"
After saying that, Xu Damao turned around and left in a hurry, and those gangsters also disappeared without a trace in an instant like ghosts.
However, Xu Damao did not realize that on the other side of the wall, Lou Xiao'e was standing there quietly, hearing his conversation with the gangster clearly. Her face was as pale as paper, her lips were trembling slightly, and her heart was filled with pain and despair.
Lou Bancheng felt so distressed when he saw his daughter's heartbroken look. He hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Xiao'e, do you want me to find that bastard Xu Damao and get him killed? How could he do this to my daughter?"
Lou Xiao'e shook her head slowly, tears rolling down like beads from a broken string, she choked and said, "Dad, forget it, I've had enough of this kind of life. I just want to divorce Xu Damao, get rid of him from now on, and live my own life.
Lou Bancheng looked at Lou Xiaoe with a guilty look on his face, his eyes full of self-blame and regret. He murmured, "My daughter, it's all Dad's fault. Dad didn't expect Xu Damao to be such a despicable and shameless bastard!"
Lou Bancheng seemed to want to say something, but he swallowed it back. Lou Xiaoe silently wiped away the tears from her eyes. She suppressed the pain in her heart and said to her father, "Dad, please stop talking. Aren't you going to continue acting with Xu Damao? You should go back first. I want to be alone here and be quiet."
Lou Bancheng nodded helplessly. He knew his daughter needed some time and space to calm down. He consoled her, "Don't worry, my daughter. Dad will make Xu Damao confess everything this time. He dared to hurt my precious daughter and even wanted to kill you. I will never let him go!"
Lou Xiao'e didn't say anything else, she turned around and walked straight into the house. Although this house was also the property of the Lou family, she felt that it was unusually strange and cold at the moment.
As night fell, Xu Damao rode his bicycle to Lou's house. He asked anxiously, "Dad, Mom, how is it going? Have you raised the money?"
Lou Bancheng looked at the man in front of him whom he hated to the core, and the anger in his heart was instantly ignited. He wanted to rush up and beat Xu Damao up immediately, but reason told him that it was not the right time yet. He suppressed his anger and replied, "It will be soon. We will have enough money soon. They want cash, so it will take some time to prepare."
Xu Damao nodded after hearing this. He did not notice Lou Bancheng's hostility towards him. Lou Bancheng looked at Xu Damao and thought about how to make this hateful guy get the punishment he deserved. Finally, he decided to stabilize Xu Damao for the time being, so he said: "You can rest here for a night. It won't be too late to go to work tomorrow, so that those hooligans will not think you ran away when they see you not working."
Xu Damao was in no mood to go to work now. He was always thinking about the money that was about to arrive. After all, with this money and Lou Bancheng's guilt towards him, it would be reasonable for him to find another wife. After all, it was not his fault, but Lou Bancheng's failure to raise money.
So Xu Damao began to rest with peace of mind, thinking that his plan was perfect. However, just as he was immersed in his beautiful dream, the courtyard was in chaos.
He Yuzhu hurried to He Feng's house and asked anxiously, "Uncle, did something happen when Lou Bancheng came to the courtyard just now?"
He Feng naturally wouldn't let Xu Damao have such an easy life, not to mention that he had become an alcoholic now, so how could he keep his words to himself? He drunkenly replied, "He Yuzhu, you don't know, Xu Damao's wife Lou Xiao'e was kidnapped today! I heard that they want a lot of money, don't you think this is a big deal!"
He Yuzhu was a little shocked when he heard the news, but he still resisted the urge to spread the news immediately. He looked at He Feng and said earnestly, "Uncle, I know you are no longer the director of the Public Security Bureau, but you can't treat yourself like this. Drinking won't solve the problem, but will make you more and more depressed."
He Feng laughed softly a few times, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile: "Okay, I just want to drink to relieve my sorrow, in fact, I don't like drinking. If you have anything to do, go and do it, don't worry about me, I plan to go to rest."
He Yuzhu was thinking about something else at the moment. He was eager to spread the news about Xu Damao. He nodded and turned away. He Feng looked at He Yuzhu's back and smiled again. He knew that He Yuzhu must be thinking about how to make Lou Xiaoe's kidnapping public.
He wondered how Xu Damao would cope with the situation once the people in the courtyard knew the truth. Would he still be able to live in the courtyard safely as usual?
As soon as He Yuzhu walked out of the door, he saw Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai hurried over, looking nervous: "Zhuzi, have you found out what happened?"
He Yuzhu looked around to make sure no one noticed them, then whispered to Yi Zhonghai: "Uncle, you may not know yet, Xu Damao's wife Lou Xiao'e has been captured, and her life or death is unknown. You must not tell anyone about this, understand?"
After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai nodded seriously. Before he could say anything, Qin Huairu came over and said, "Uncle, Zhuzi, what's the matter? I heard someone was arrested. What's going on?"
Yi Zhonghai didn't want to talk much. After all, what did this have to do with him? So he looked at Qin Huairu and said, "Oh, He Yuzhu knows about this. You should ask He Yuzhu."
Qin Huairu looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, who is missing? It's very interesting to hear what you said."
