367 The Taoist Is About To Escape
“I don’t know who it was, but it sounded like a woman. At first, I thought she was just advertising, so I wanted to hang up, but before I could hang up, she told me everything about me and the feng shui masters I found. When she said that, I thought she was going to rob me, but she didn’t.”
“That woman’s voice was very nice. She said that she knew I was in trouble and asked me to find you, saying that you could help me. At that time, I was completely desperate and just wanted to give up, so I came to you.”
Originally, Wen Le did not think that there was anything wrong with it. However, after Su Meng’s question, he realized that something was amiss.
Who was the other party? How did she know so much about him? Could it be that the woman had a crush on him and was monitoring him?
“We’ll talk about this in detail when we get back.” Su Meng was confused, but she knew that was not the most important thing at the moment.
“Alright, Master,” Wen Le agreed.
Su Meng decided to put aside her own matters for the time being and continued to think about Wen Le and his friend.
In fact, Wen Le was not wrong. He was indeed unable to do that kind of thing in his current state. He could not even leave the house.
Of course, they could not rule out the possibility that he had set up a trap to kill his friend. As for the reason, in their line of work, infighting due to uneven distribution of loot was common.
Su Meng did not plan to continue asking Wen Le because she knew that she would not be able to get anything out of him. Since Wen Le had said that he did not know, she could only investigate elsewhere.
Su Meng was deep in thought when she caught a glimpse of a sneaky figure from the corner of her eye.
“Grandpa Taoist, where do you want to go so sneakily?” While Su Meng was looking at Wen Le, she saw the Taoist priest standing at the door from the corner of her eye. He took the opportunity to move away while Wen Le was talking.
Wei Ting’s attention was all on Su Meng, so he didn’t notice the Taoist’s movements. Hearing Su Meng call for the Taoist, he also looked over and saw that the Taoist was trying to escape. He immediately walked to the door.
The Taoist priest had wanted to sneak away, but Wei Ting’s kick had been too harsh. His stomach hurt so much that he could barely stand up.
He was already old, and his body could not withstand such a blow. Hence, he bent over and clutched his stomach, trying to escape while Su Meng and the others were talking. He did not expect to be discovered.
“If you don’t want to continue being beaten, then go back obediently.” Wei Ting walked to the door, crossed his arms, and looked down at the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest was scared of Wei Ting’s beating and quickly agreed. “O-okay, I don’t want to leave. I’ll go back immediately.”
After the Taoist priest returned to the room, Wei Ting closed the door with a “bang.”
At this moment, Xiao Yu, who had been sitting quietly and smiling foolishly, suddenly spoke up. She clapped her hands and smiled. “Hehe, fool, got beaten up. Fun fun fun.”
Xiao Yu had been watching the Taoist priest the whole time. she was happy to see him being beaten up and even sneered at him.
Su Meng walked to Xiao Yu and squatted down. “Xiao Yu, you hate him, don’t you?”
Xiao Yu, who was always silly and didn’t understand words, actually understood Su Meng’s words. Her big round eyes instantly turned red and tears started to fall. She sobbed and said, “I hate him, I hate him!”
When the old lady saw that her daughter had spoken, she ignored Xiao Feng and crawled toward Xiao Yu. She cried as he crawled, “Xiao Yu, you can actually speak! Xiao Yu, do you still remember mommy?”
The old lady quickly crawled in front of Xiao Yu and pulled her into her arms.
“Xiao Yu, are you awake? If you’re awake, tell me. It seems that changing your fate really works. You’ve really recovered!” The old lady was so happy that she had forgotten that Su Meng had almost become a victim because of the change in her fate. She was still talking about her fate.
Wei Ting looked at her and frowned. This old lady was really hopeless. She was actually still talking about changing fate. She was just an old woman. If she was a young man, he would have beaten her up until she repented.
This kind of person who disregarded other people’s lives was not worthy of pity.
Su Meng looked at the old lady who was holding Xiao Yu tightly and shook her head helplessly, “Grandma, why are you still talking about changing fate? Didn’t I tell you? You were tricked by that black-hearted Taoist priest. Xiao Yu was tricked by him too.”
“Stinky, oh no, little girl, don’t accuse others. I’m just a part-time worker. I’ll do whatever my client asks me to do. How could I lie to her?” The Taoist was afraid that Wei Ting would hit him again, so he quickly defended himself.
