Chapter 680: Chapter 668: "Evidence" (Two in One)

"Is that really what Su Qing said?" In the apartment Su Shengguo and his wife were renting, Zhao Qi looked at the couple excitedly and asked, "Are you sure she agreed to let you visit the Li family?"

"Yes," Su Shengguo nodded and said. "That’s what Su Qing told us. She said we should go to the Li family’s home this weekend. She said she’ll explain our sincerity to them and that we can start visiting each other like family from now on."

"Good. You two did well." Li Xiaojuan grew excited. ’As long as this couple can get a foot in the Li family’s door, the rest will be easy. It was the right move to find them. Unlike those two little brats from the Zheng family, who wouldn’t even lift a finger to help.’

’If those two brats from the Zheng family had been willing to help her, she would have succeeded long ago. Why else would she have wasted over a month on Su Shengguo?’

Zheng Erlian smiled obsequiously at Li Xiaojuan. "You know, my husband and I have been working our tails off for over a month now. It took all this time to wear that girl, Su Qing, down. We finally got her to give in. Zhao Qi, we’ve really done our absolute best to complete the task you gave us."

Li Xiaojuan gave Zheng Erlian an indifferent glance and nodded. "Mm, I’ve seen how hard you’ve worked. Don’t worry. As long as you get the job done right, you’ll get every cent you’re owed."

"Oh, that’s good, that’s good." Zheng Erlian’s face bloomed into a smile. She quickly poured Li Xiaojuan another glass of water. "Zhao Qi, have some hot water."

Li Xiaojuan eyed the glass with a hint of disdain. The weather had turned cold, and the room wasn’t very warm, so she reluctantly took two sips. ’These two are so cheap,’ she complained inwardly. ’They’ve already taken several hundred yuan from me, but they can’t even spare a few tea leaves? Just plain boiled water. Stingy. Unbelievably stingy.’

After drinking the water, Li Xiaojuan glanced at the sky outside, then took a small envelope and a tiny box out of her bag. She handed both items to Su Shengguo and said, "Su Qing has invited you to the Li family home. The first couple of times you go, remember to be on your best behavior and win their approval. Once the Li family lets their guard down around you, hide these two things in an inconspicuous place. Remember, do not let anyone in the Li family see you making any sneaky moves. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you. Understand?"

"This can take down the Li family?" Although Su Shengguo had held a job for a few years, he had grown up in the countryside and hadn’t seen much of the world. Zheng Erlian was even less worldly—she was practically illiterate. The couple stared at the two items Li Xiaojuan had handed them, their hearts pounding.

In truth, they didn’t need an explanation from Li Xiaojuan. They knew in their hearts that these items were serious trouble.

Li Xiaojuan sneered. "These will doom the Li family beyond redemption."

Hearing this, a cold sweat broke out on the couple’s backs. They both pursed their lips, momentarily speechless.

Li Xiaojuan smiled. "Don’t you worry. As long as you two do your job well, I won’t treat you unfairly. Remember, these must be placed somewhere inconspicuous in the Li family’s home, where no one can find them. Understand?"

"Yes, yes, we understand, we understand," Su Shengguo said hurriedly. "Once we’re familiar with the Li family, we guarantee we’ll hide these things secretly and well. We won’t let them find a thing."

"Good. Not bad." Clearly, Su Shengguo’s words had satisfied Li Xiaojuan. She stood up and said, "Alright, I’ve given you the items. Keep them safe. I’ll be waiting for your good news. I’m heading back now."

"Okay, okay," Su Shengguo said quickly. "I’ll see you out."

"No need. I’ll leave quietly to avoid making a scene and being seen." Li Xiaojuan didn’t want Su Shengguo making a big show of seeing her off. If someone saw him, the Li family might be able to follow the trail right back to her. Both times she had come here, it had been late at night, and no one had noticed her visiting Su Shengguo’s home.

"Alright, that works too. Take care," Su Shengguo quickly replied with a smile.

"Mm." Li Xiaojuan gave an arrogant nod and left.

Walking down the street late at night, Li Xiaojuan felt a cold wind whip around her neck and couldn’t help but tighten her coat. She looked around. It was already mid-November. The weather had begun to turn cold, and in a few more days, it would start to snow.
