Chapter 1448 Pride and Prejudice and the Escort Agency
Luo Qingyan had excellent hearing and heard this sentence clearly. He immediately clenched his fists, frowned and glared at him fiercely.
When he met Yi Can's frivolous and playful eyes, he immediately came to his senses.
This person must be trying to provoke him on purpose, and then play the victim in front of Shi Li, so he won't let him succeed!
On the road again, Shi Li found an opportunity and asked Luo Qingyan if he knew the origin of the man in black.
This question hit the mark exactly what Luo Qingyan wanted.
He had long planned to tell the truth, but he had never had the chance before. Now that Shi Li asked him about it, he immediately looked at her with shining eyes.
He spoke like a bamboo tube pouring beans, without hiding a single word.
"The men in black were probably sent by my second and third uncles. Their target wasn't me either. They just thought I was carrying the antidote with me, and they wanted to stop me from going back to detoxify my father."
The owner of Baiyuan Villa is actually a somewhat pedantic and sentimental person.
He helped two brothers from the same clan and brought their entire family to the villa and treated them well, but he did not understand the principle of repaying kindness with resentment.
As time went by, the two brothers saw that the owner of the manor was kind and had only Luo Qingyan as his son, so they became more active.
A year ago, they secretly colluded with each other, and took advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to watch the moon and drink with the owner of the manor, and put a chronic poison in the owner's wine.
According to their plan, after the owner of the manor was poisoned, his health would gradually deteriorate, and Luo Qingyan was a useless person, so they could use their status as elders to put pressure on him and take control of the manor in their own hands.
The plan was good, but the owner was pedantic but not stupid, and Luo Qingyan was not a real playboy. The owner discovered the poisoning early on, guessed what was going on, and pretended nothing had happened.
Luo Qingyan used traveling as an excuse to go out and look for an antidote.
It was not until recently that the manor owner's internal strength could no longer suppress the poison in his body and the matter was exposed.
Fortunately, Luo Qingyan also found the antidote. Guessing that his second and third uncles would not give up, he used himself as bait and secretly let Xun Xi take another route with another antidote.
Shi Li was secretly shocked when she heard this, "Aren't you afraid that they will kill you?"
"Humph, of course I'm afraid, otherwise I wouldn't have hired you with such a large sum of money!"
Luo Qingyan touched his nose and glanced at Shi Li furtively, "My family's villa discovered a gold mine before, ten thousand taels of silver is nothing."
"Okay, okay, you have the final say since you have money." Shi Li was very envious, but she didn't realize that the way Luo Qingyan showed off his wealth was almost exactly the same as a male peacock deliberately spreading his feathers when courting a mate.
Calculating the time wasted on the road, according to Luo Qingyan and Xun Xi's previous plan, the owner of the manor should have taken the antidote by now.
But I don’t know if anything unexpected happened.
Luo Qingyan was actually worried, but it was pointless to worry. He also secretly made preparations for both situations, and put an antidote in the box in his sling.
In case something goes wrong with Xun Xi, he can also bring the antidote back.
"This Luo Qingyan is not as dandy as I imagined. He seems to have some brains."
Shi Li heard about these things and quietly complained to the audience in the live broadcast room.
[Your focus has strayed...]
【Didn't you notice that he was introducing his family conditions? 】
[Anchor, you are really stupid! ]
The comments were full of disappointment and they all made comments, hoping that Shi Li could feel Luo Qingyan's feelings.
Unfortunately, Shi Li didn't notice anything and even sighed.
"Of course I did."
"What can I do?"
"Some people were born in Rome. What's the point of me envying them? That's the worst thing about him. He always likes to show off his wealth. Humph!"
【…】
[My mother tongue is speechless~]
[Absolutely amazing, I've never seen such divergent ideas~]
【It turns out that there is a reason for the peonies. 】
Shi Li vaguely felt that the barrage seemed to be reflecting her. Before she could ask further questions, she met Xun Xi and others who led the team to support her.
He did not disappoint Luo Qingyan's expectations and had successfully used the antidote to detoxify the owner of the villa. He was worried that Luo Qingyan would not be safe on the road, so he led people out of the villa and just met Shi Li's escort team.
Shi Li had met Xun Xi before. When he saw him bringing people here, he guessed that the crisis at Baiyuan Villa must have been resolved, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master Luo, can we end this escort mission early?"
Luo Qingyan looked at her face with undisguised expectation, but he felt particularly uncomfortable in his heart. He raised his head and snorted.
"You promised to escort me back to the villa, but now you want to slack off? That ten thousand taels of silver..."
"Who is being lazy? I just said that. Of course I will send you back to the villa safely!" Shi Li interrupted him quickly, fearing that he would earn less money.
