Shang Xiaoqin, who was suspected by Su Lengmo, was tossing and turning while lying on the bed, her mind running at high speed, constantly guessing whether Su Lengmo and Tang Yao knew her true identity.
Logically speaking, if they want to grasp it, they have already sent people to arrest her. There is no need to wait until now, but they have all found out that Huo Qisheng caused Mrs. Su to become like that, so there is no reason why they can't find her.
After thinking too much, Shang Xiaoqin became suspicious. One moment he thought about taking Tang Jiahao as a hostage so that he could escape from Jincheng. The next moment he thought that he should take the risk and marry Tang Jiahao so that he could take the opportunity to attack Su Lengmo and Tang Yao.
"Xiaoqin, Xiaoqin..." Tang Jiahao came out of the bathroom and saw Shang Xiaoqin holding the quilt tightly with both hands, her brows furrowed, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Shang Xiaoqin turned a deaf ear and was thinking about what to do to save herself and escape.
Tang Jiahao reached out to touch her forehead worriedly, but she, who was thinking about the problem, grabbed his hand reflexively and twisted it. Tang Jiahao immediately turned 360 degrees and couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.
Shang Xiaoqin came to her senses and realized that she had actually attacked Tang Jiahao. She originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to capture him and use him as a hostage to escape from here, but she is now seven months pregnant and her body is bulky. Su Lengmo's people, she was not sure that she could escape from the heavy siege. If she was caught, she would not die, but would have to shed her skin, and the child in her belly...
She couldn't help but shudder when she thought that the child might be taken out of her belly alive.
She let go of Tang Jiahao's hand and said shyly: "Jiahao, I'm sorry, I was just thinking about something."
Tang Jiahao stared at Shang Xiaoqin with complicated eyes. After a long while, he said: "Xiaoqin, do you know kung fu?"
He is not a fool who cannot tell whether a person knows kung fu or not.
If Shang Xiaoqin was really a weak girl, she wouldn't have been able to twist him so hard. Only those who have practiced can do that kind of strength.
Thinking of Shang Xiaoqin's previous abnormalities, his thoughts became more complicated.
"Jiahao, I'm sorry. I did take a Taekwondo class when I was in college and studied Taekwondo for four years. However, my mother said that girls are not good at fighting all day long. She told me not to tell people that I am a black belt in Taekwondo, for fear of No one dared to date me, so I hid this fact." Shang Xiaoqin got up from the bed and lowered his head, "When we were arrested, I originally wanted to save you, but they had guns in their hands. I'm pregnant with a child, so I don't dare to act rashly. I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, the child will be lost without telling me, angering them, and our lives will not be saved."
Tang Jiahao's expression softened: "Really?"
Shang Xiaoqin looked at him with red eyes: "If you don't believe it, you can go check it out. With the ability of Sister Tang Yao and Mr. Su, they can check it accurately. I didn't hide it on purpose, but my mother said that girls are still polite. Well, I’m afraid I’ll be too rude and won’t get married.”
She sighed: "I originally wanted to tell you that I know Taekwondo, but I love you too much and I'm afraid that if I tell you, you will break up with me."
"Idiot." Tang Jiahao laughed out loud, "It's such a pride to know Taekwondo. I don't think I can do it. My wife can, and I will have face even if I go out and say it."
A smile spread on Shang Xiaoqin's face, "Really, you didn't lie to me?"
"Why did I lie to you?" Tang Jiahao said: "I thought you were a good girl, but I didn't expect that there are so many secrets in you that I don't know waiting for me to explore. It's like a treasure. I really found a treasure."
Shang Xiaoqin breathed a sigh of relief and said sweetly: "Jiahao, I was afraid that you would dislike me."
"Don't worry, I will never dislike you. You are the treasure in the palm of my hand. Which person have you ever seen who dislikes his treasure?" Tang Jiahao joked for a while, then changed the subject and said seriously: "Xiao Qin, you know Taekwondo. We'll talk about it later. You have to tell me, are you worried about anything? Don't say it's because you feel unwell."
"I..." Shang Xiaoqin frowned and said slowly: "It was my second aunt who borrowed money from me. It has been ten times in total this time, and the amount borrowed each time was larger. I don't want to lend it to her again." Yes, but I’m afraid she will cause trouble for my parents. You know she is a bit unbelievable sometimes."
Anger flashed in Tang Jiahao's eyes, "She borrowed money from you, why didn't you tell me?"
Shang Xiaoqin groaned and said, "I'm afraid you'll be angry, and I don't want to lend it to her, but she is my second aunt no matter what. She said she needs money urgently, so I can't refuse."
"Leave this matter to me, don't worry about it." Tang Jiahao said solemnly: "If she borrows money from now on, ask her to come to me."
"Okay." Shang Xiaoqin said, "Jiahao, I don't want her to harass my parents, and I don't want her to affect the relationship between the two of us."
"Don't worry, it won't affect you." Tang Jiahao reassured, "You just need to take good care of the baby. Leave the rest to me."
Shang Xiaoqin nodded.
"Have a rest and I'll call you when it's time to eat."
"good."
She closed her eyes, but her mind was so confused that she couldn't sleep at all. When she heard Tang Jiahao tentatively calling her name in her ear, she held her breath and pretended to be asleep.
Not long after, I heard the sound of Tang Jiahao leaving.
After confirming that he was gone, Shang Xiaoqin slowly opened his eyes and stared at the closed door with complicated eyes.
…
Tang Jiahao went to find Su Lengmo.
"Brother-in-law, can I borrow a few people from you?" He sat across from Su Lengmo and asked straight to the point.
"Okay." Su Lengmo said: "But you have to tell me, what are you borrowing someone for?"
"Dealing with some personal issues, but I promise that I will never commit murder or arson. Don't worry." Tang Jiahao promised on the third day: "You can lend me a few people and I will take them to deal with the good things and return them back."
Su Lengmo nodded.
"Tell me when you use it."
"Thank you, brother-in-law."
Tang Jiahao licked his lips and glanced at Su Lengmo, hesitant to speak.
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Brother-in-law, can you help me check Xiaoqin's recent whereabouts? I always feel that she seems to be hiding something from me. I'm not doubting her, I'm worried that she will be bullied without my knowledge."
"good."
Su Lengmo changed his posture and said coaxingly: "Tell me, what's wrong with her recently? I'll have someone check it out in a targeted manner."
Tang Jiahao hesitated for a moment and then told Shang Xiaoqin everything about Shang Xiaoqin's recent strangeness.
He was really worried about Shang Xiaoqin, fearing that she had something to hide from her, and thinking about it alone would not be good for the fetus.
After listening, Su Lengmo was thoughtful.
He was already sure that Shang Xiaoqin had something up his sleeve. Maybe he could set up a trap to lure the snake out of its hole, but in this case, Tang Jiahao would definitely get hurt.
Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Rather than hiding it, when the truth is revealed, he will only be more miserable.
"Jiahao, what will you do if it is found out that Xiaoqin is really hiding something from you, and it is deceptive?" Su Lengmo asked tentatively.
"No, she loves me so much." In the end, Tang Jiahao was unexpectedly confident: "If she lied to me, she was probably afraid that I would worry, so I will only feel sorry for her being sensible."
Su Lengmo smiled inexplicably.
Confidence is a good thing, but I am afraid that when the truth is revealed, Tang Jiahao will no longer be confident.
"Brother-in-law, do you know something?"
"No, I'm just giving you an example."
Tang Jiahao breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I thought something really happened to Xiaoqin."
Su Lengmo said: "You are her lover and you didn't notice anything unusual about her. What can I know?"
"That's right. I'm asking this kind of question because my brain is crazy." Tang Jiahao patted his head in embarrassment: "Brother-in-law, I thought you were an omnipotent god."
Su Lengmo's expression softened a little.
Tang Jiahao stood up and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm going back to accompany Xiaoqin. Tell me what you find out."
"Um."
Watching him leave, Su Lengmo narrowed his eyes and gently rubbed his left thumb with his right fingers.
He called Shi Mo.
"Boss." Shi Mo came in and said.
"Send more people to follow Shang Xiaoqin, and check her recent whereabouts on a large scale." Su Lengmo ordered.
Shi Mo frowned: "Boss, Madam, didn't she ask you to..."
Su Lengmo waved his hand: "Don't let Tang Yao know about this for now. I suspect that Shang Xiaoqin was sent by Huo Qisheng. Although I haven't received the news yet, my intuition will not be wrong."
Shi Mo twitched the corner of his mouth. This was the first time that he heard Su Lengmo speak intuitively.
"I got it, boss." He said, "I will arrange for someone to follow Miss Shang secretly."
After saying that, he turned around to leave, but returned before taking two steps.
"Boss, do you want the wedding of Mr. Tang and Miss Shang..."
"No, it will be held as scheduled. I still want to make a big fuss about the wedding."
"Yes, boss."
Shi Mo left directly without any hesitation.
Su Lengmo rubbed her chin, her eyes thoughtful.
I don't know how long it took, but Tang Yao came in from outside.
"Is the food ready?" Su Lengmo put away the coldness on his face, stood up and went to greet Tang Yao, hugging Tang Yao: "Wife, thank you for your hard work."
Tang Yao smiled like a flower, "Let's go down and have a meal together."
"As you command, my queen." Su Lengmo hugged Tang Yao's waist and left the study.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Tang Jiahao and Shang Xiaoqin were already waiting there.
"Sister Tang Yao, Mr. Su." Shang Xiaoqin greeted obediently.
Tang Yao smiled and said: "Sit down, don't get up. You are pregnant and your body is inconvenient."
Shang Xiaoqin nodded.
The four of them sat down, and Tang Yao first poured a bowl of soup for Shang Xiaoqin, "Xiaoqin, this is the bone soup I made specially. It contains various Chinese medicines, specially designed to nourish the fetus. Drink more."
"Thank you, Sister Tang Yao." Shang Xiaoqin lowered her head and looked at the soup, but felt repulsive in her heart. Once she had doubts, she felt that Tang Yao might have added abortion drugs in it, so she didn't dare to drink it.
