Chapter 916: Chapter 373: Offering a Brick to Attract Jade
The entire hall suddenly fell silent.
Everyone’s gaze inevitably turned to Wang Chaosheng.
Wang Chaosheng didn’t look at anyone, his old eyes darting around the ceiling, shifty and furtive.
If he whistled now, he’d be the perfect image of an old rogue.
Wang Chengying panted heavily, pointing with his hand:
“You… say… what…?”
He spat out each word, biting his teeth, his eyes almost spitting fire.
“Hehe.”
Wang Chaosheng grinned, grabbing Wang Chengying’s pointing hand in his palm, and said with a smile:
“Son, don’t get too excited.”
“?”
Wang Chengying’s eyes almost flipped, and he nearly passed out.
Where do you see me being happy?
Does this look like I’m happy?
At this moment, he was so angry that he couldn’t speak.
Then Wang Chaosheng chuckled and said:
“Although the Poison Dragon Pill Scripture is good, your sister’s life is more important.
“However, there’s a problem now…
“We can give away the Poison Dragon Pill Scripture, but would someone like Yin Xiaoyu really release your sister after getting it?
“Otherwise, what this person might do is hard to predict.
“If she suddenly gets murderous in her triumph, even Pingyang City might be in danger.”
Although Wang Chaosheng acts somewhat improper for an elder, his words made sense.
Wang Chengying took a deep breath, glaring fiercely at his own father:
“Where is the Poison Dragon Pill Scripture now?”
“It’s on your ship.”
“… How did you put it on my ship?”
“Well, that’s a long story.”
Wang Chaosheng felt a little proud:
“Weren’t you doing business along the way?
“I made arrangements through various channels and managed to get the Poison Dragon Pill Scripture mixed in with your cargo.”
However, he didn’t say which cargo it was mixed in with.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
Wang Chengying asked again.
“The fewer people who know about this, the safer we are.
“If even you don’t know, then it’s naturally the safest.
“Even the person who put the Poison Dragon Pill Scripture on your ship didn’t know what it was.
“Only in this way, can we ensure absolute safety.
“But unexpectedly, the news still leaked out, leading to trouble.”
When Wang Chaosheng said this, he sighed deeply:
“Ultimately, it’s not something that belongs to us. Well, let’s not talk about that. With the news leaked, the Poison Dragon Pill Scripture is more trouble than it’s worth. If Yin Xiaoyu wants it, just let her have it.
“But about what I just said, son… do you have any plans in mind?”
Wang Chengying frowned, looking at everyone present.
For a moment, whether Ding Luo or the three black-clothed men, their faces were somewhat complicated.
If this task fell to them, it was hard to say they could handle it.
Giving away the Poison Dragon Pill Scripture wasn’t a big problem, but they feared after receiving it, the other side would take their lives too.
That would make it hard to ensure safety.
Wang Chengying’s gaze lingered on Su Mo momentarily, hesitant to speak.
He actually wanted to ask Su Mo to take on this task.
However, he’s always acted with a sense of measure.
Like when their ship was raided by Sea Snake Zeng Chou, Su Mo and they came, but Wang Chengying and others never asked Su Mo for help.
Earlier today, he said he didn’t dare to ask for anything else, just for Su Mo to give them some advice.
Now if he were to ask Su Mo to take this risk, he felt a bit uneasy about speaking up.
But the matter involved his sister…
He was in quite a dilemma for a moment.
His change in expression naturally fell into Su Mo’s eyes.
Su Mo chuckled softly and said:
“Young Master Wang, please forgive my presumption.
This time, I’m willing to make the trip.
To meet this Sihai Witch.”
“What?”
Wang Chengying was stunned, then overjoyed:
“If Chief Su takes on this matter, it couldn’t be better.
“Wang Chengying is endlessly grateful; the entire Bohai Association is indebted to you!!”
“No need to be so polite.”
Su Mo’s expression was somewhat peculiar. The reason he suddenly volunteered was because of a letter.
The letter was from Little Situ.
The letter bore her urgency, summarizing the situation in a few words.
It turned out that while borrowing the restroom, Little Situ witnessed something.
A woman dressed as a bride carrying a girl sprinted away, moving briskly.
She leaped across rooftops as if walking on flat ground.
The speed was awe-inspiring.
Upon seeing this, Little Situ immediately had her four companions from East, South, West, and North carry her, following the person, because she recognized the girl being carried as Wang Chengying’s sister.
Finally capturing the bride, she temporarily left Wang Chengying’s sister at an inn.
There were quite a few people with her, none of whom were ordinary.
Little Situ dared not act rashly, so she sought pen and ink to write Su Mo a letter.
To ask Su Mo to help rescue her.
The reason being, she needed the Wang Family’s assistance.
Su Mo didn’t know why Little Situ, borrowing a restroom, ended up in the Wang Family’s inner courtyard.
But he knew what she wanted help with was likely the herbs she couldn’t purchase today.
Admittedly, when they were at sea, Su Mo saved Wang Chengying.
