s. Her knee felt like it was being pricked with needles. In this cold weather, the pain had brought beads of sweat to her forehead. Gritting her teeth, she trembled and spoke in a hushed voice: “H-He…...Hearing Feng Mu's words, Meng Lan pursed her lips and after a long silence, hesitantly asked him, "What conditions"

Feng Mu sipped his water slowly, "Scared"

"Who's afraid You're the one who made things so mysterious," Meng Lan glared at him angrily, "And even if we're talking about terms, I should have the right to know, first. Tell me what it is, and if there's nothing wrong with it, then I'll consider whether or not to agree."

"You're quite clever," Feng Mu raised his hand, lightly stroking her nose. "I'll consider your terms for now."

Meng Lan looked at him, feeling both angry and helpless.

What does it mean to owe someone something in advance

To know that, compared to just saying everything directly, torturing you slowly... is the most painful thing.

……

Good evening.

The night in the village was pitch black, with only a few barks from dogs echoing occasionally nearby.

It was late at night again, and Ah Hui was sitting at home waiting. In her arms, she held a five-year-old daughter who seemed to be running a fever and was painfully closing her eyes.

And Ahui was also restless, checking her temperature with a thermometer from time to time.

Soon, there was a rustle coming from the door.

Ahui instantly perked up and cautiously asked, "Who is it"

"Don't be afraid, it's me." The door creaked open and Xiaonan walked in, his clothes were ragged and he removed his hat with a hand. "How is the child"

"You still have something to say!"

As soon as Ahui saw him, tears welled up in her eyes. "What can we do The child is already running a high fever. The situation isn't good. We have to take her to the big hospital for treatment right away."

"No!" Xiaonan's face darkened, she interrupted in a low voice, "The villagers are after me now and they could threaten you and the child. I can't stay with you."

"What are you going to do then!" Ahui cried, collapsing in a fit of hysterical sobs and screaming at him, "Just stand there and watch the child run a fever Don't forget, Xixi already has a heart condition! Any illness right now would be disastrous for her. You can't just let her die!"

"Shut up!"

Xiaonan glared at her angrily, "Don't always talk about death so casually, Xixi won't be like that, and besides, we have money, there will definitely be a solution."

"Yes, we have money. I'll go find Dr. Jia to see Xi Xi right now."

Saying that, Xiaonan walked to the wardrobe and rummaged through it, taking out a thick stack of cash.

Xiaonan was just about to leave when Ahui suddenly put the child down and pulled him back with one hand. Then she raised her hand and slapped him directly in the face.

"Enough, don't you think it's noisy enough"

Xiaonan's head was knocked to the side, a bright red palm print clearly appearing on his face. He bit his lip tightly,

"You crazy woman!"

“Yes, I’m crazy, are you satisfied now” Ahui cried loudly with tears streaming down her face, “What can I do Dr. Jia is a quack doctor. He gave Xixi so many Chinese medicines, do you see any improvement”

"Come to your senses! Ever since you committed that murder, we've been living in hiding. What good is money if it can't even let us hold our heads high We can't even take our child to the hospital for treatment without fear. What's the point of this kind of life"

As she spoke, A Hui raised her hand and pounded heavily on Xiao Nan's chest, crying out in despair.

Soon, Xiaonan's clothes were ripped apart, her hair was disheveled, and she looked utterly miserable.

"Ah!" He grabbed his hair, collapsing into a scream, "Do you think I want to live like this If it weren't for XiXi's illness needing a lot of surgery money, how could I possibly... do...this kind of thing!"

Ahui, after venting her anger, looked at her husband being driven to collapse and felt a pang of pity.

She stepped forward, embracing Xiaonan, and cried out in despair.

"Turn yourself in, Xiaonan. Let's admit our mistake, maybe the police will let us off easy. I really don't want to live like this anymore." Ahui held onto him tightly, trying to persuade him.

"No, absolutely not. We can't turn ourselves in." Xiaonan looked up at her, fear evident in her eyes. "The big boss said that if we surrendered, she would do everything in her power to get us, even kill us. So... we can't take that risk!"

Damn it...

Ahui was so frightened that she fell straight to the floor on her buttocks.

Immediately, she raised her hand and pounded Xiao Nan's chest heavily, angrily scolding him, "You bastard! You've ruined our whole family. What are we going to do now!"

Xiaonan also covered her face, crying helplessly.

As a man, he felt more useless than ever before!

"Ahem!"

And just then, little Xixi on the bed suddenly started coughing loudly, her cheeks flushed red.

Suddenly, her pupils dilated, as if she couldn't breathe. Her breathing was rapid and labored, struggling to catch air.

"Ah-ah!" Ahui was startled and hurriedly walked forward to hug her daughter, "What's wrong with you Come on, don't scare mommy."

But the tighter she held him, the worse XiXi's condition became. Her face gradually turned purple.

"Let her go."

Just as things were at a critical juncture, the door was suddenly flung open and Meng Lan and Feng Mu led a group of people in with a mighty roar.

And among that crowd, there were not only the village head, but also several doctors in white coats!

When they saw them, Ahui and Xiaonan were completely dumbfounded. They stood there for a long time, unable to recover.

What...what's going on

Finally, the doctor was the first to speak, “This child is experiencing a choking reaction. Don’t hold her so tightly, loosen your grip and hand her over to us.”

Ahui stared blankly at them, her grip refusing to loosen.

The doctor had no choice but to take out his work ID and hand it to them. “We’re doctors, don’t worry, we won’t hurt you.”

Only then did Ahui feel relieved after finishing.

The doctor took Xiao Xixixi and adjusted her into a correct sleeping position before beginning basic treatment.

Xiaonan and A Hui silently retreated to the side, not daring to interfere too much, they could only cautiously look at the village head.

But who knew, the village head simply snorted coldly, “You people are simply utterly foolish, how can I even begin to describe you Just wait, I’ll come and settle accounts with you later!”

About half an hour passed.

The doctors put down their work and let out heavy sighs, "Don't worry, the child has been rescued, it's fine."

After hearing this, Xiaonan and Ahui were overjoyed beyond measure. They knelt directly on the ground, expressing their gratitude.

"Thank you so much, you're like living bodhisattvas."right, you all go do your own things then!"Uncle Zhao tactfully dispersed the servants, then respectfully walked to Menglan's side, "Miss, what... is there anything you need"Dream Lan led Zhao Shu to...
