As Su Qingluan's words came out, the air in the room seemed to be half stagnant, heavy and breathless, with an inexplicable sense of oppression - of course, this sense of oppression was only directed at Zhang Ma and Butler Xie.
The series of names that Su Qingluan read out just now were not made up casually by herself, but the list of people who Songbo had told her about his intention to go to Su's house to do evil things last night.
Of course, these people are not professionals who do dirty work. They are really a bunch of lazy gangsters and market scoundrels who usually do petty theft and just eat and drink.
There were about a dozen of these people, who occasionally stole from time to time, occasionally robbed the old, young, sick, and disabled, and sometimes begged on the street. Anyway, their limbs were intact and they did not do any serious work.
Kaiyang spent basically no effort interrogating these local gangsters. He had not finished whipping him, but he had tried everything. He almost begged his grandpa to tell grandma how bad he was. After all, even his own mother could do this kind of scoundrel if you gave him money. After selling, what kind of credibility or integrity do you need from him?
According to the appearance and characteristics of the person who hired these people, Su Qingluan had no impression of the person who could match them - but he was very sure that the person was definitely not Zhang Ma or Manager Xie.
However, this is easy to understand: both Zhang Ma and Manager Xie, although they are subordinates in the eyes of the owners of the Xie Mansion, are considered to be "upper-level managers" among the servants. As the saying goes, "they are also slaves." They are also divided into three, six, and nine grades."
It was unreasonable to arrest the Su family and threaten Su Qingluan. Both Zhang Ma and Manager Xie knew it clearly. But they were rich and powerful, and the Xie family was standing behind them - again, Xie Xuanfan asked them to get things done, but they didn't care about the means used in the process.
What's more, no one cares about whether the Su family has been wronged or suffered a loss.
What they want is the result of "cooperation" itself.
As long as the contract is signed successfully, no matter how many grievances the Su family has, Su Ji will have no choice but to remain silent, otherwise the Xie family can keep suing them.
However, even if you are in a favorable position, hiring people to do illegal work is inherently risky, and you may be blackmailed if you are not careful.
Zhang Ma or Manager Xie would not do this kind of offending work that could lead to trouble if they were not careful.
So this matter was left to the people below.
However, whether it was Zhang Ma, Manager Xie, or the people working underneath, they obviously underestimated the specific situation of the Su family. This is no wonder, no one can imagine that this seemingly ordinary family of five farmers , there are people secretly protecting you behind the scenes.
Although the contract between Mu Xingzhi and Su Qingluan to provide personal safety protection in exchange was not fully implemented on paper, he did not bother to talk nonsense about such a matter. Maybe he will be reserved in what he says, but he will definitely do what he promised.
So when Su Qingluan noticed an unfamiliar gangster wandering around his home, the person responsible for "spotting" the situation in the Su family also discovered it and reported it to Song Bo.
So these people all fell on Kaiyang, who happened to come to Huaxi Village to report other matters to Mu Xingzhi.
Originally, Manager Xie and the others thought that hiring a few land hooligans would be more than enough to deal with the Su family's family of five, including two little ones who were still in their infancy.
After all, what they want is not to actually kill the Su family. At most, they want to tie up Su Qingluan's family, threaten her to re-sign the contract according to their own wishes, and then honestly turn "Su Ji" into a Xie's money-making machine.
But I never expected that Mu Xingzhi would intervene, so this "threat plan" failed from the first step. Not only that, it also allowed Su Qingluan to seize the handle and completely fall into a passive state. .
In fact, it's not that Su Qingluan didn't consider cooperating directly with Mu Xingzhi, at least it was much better than the Xie Mansion, a garbage partner who played secret tricks.
But it is obvious that Mu Xingzhi is still in the dormant stage and cannot be so conspicuous. Moreover, according to Mu Xingzhi's words, it seems that he also wants to use Xie Mansion to do something. So even though she felt uncomfortable in her heart, Su Qingluan still had to pinch her nose and sign a contract with them temporarily. But fortunately, this was not a hard job with no end in sight, and now that she was not happy about signing the contract, she could naturally just find it for the other party as well. Not pleasant at all.
Although she was 120% curious, as the saying goes "curiosity killed the cat", Su Qingluan decisively chose not to ask any unnecessary questions. As for the Xie Mansion, Su Qingluan could only think silently: That is just the same as countless idiots. It’s just Party A who is the same as Party A.
Anyway, she has secretly decided that the contract with Xie Mansion will be signed every two years. After the two-year period is over, she has the right to find other partners.
After consoling herself like this, Su Qingluan felt much better, so she once again raised a little devil-like smile and asked knowingly: "Hey, thanks to the housekeeper, what's wrong with you two, Ma Zhang? You look at your faces. Isn’t that good? Isn’t it a great joy for us to sign a contract today?”
As he spoke, he waved the small piece of paper with his name written on it in front of the two of them with his hand.
One of the two people opposite him looked increasingly pale, as if he was going to faint in the next moment, and the other's original Maitreya-like smile was gone, leaving only two plump cheeks that were shaking badly due to the extreme atmosphere and fear.
It has to be said that when Su Qingluan saw the reaction of the other two, the original depression of being stabbed in secret dissipated a lot.
But this was not enough. Su Qingluan slowly and carefully described the physical features of those people who had previously confessed and connected them, gave them hiring money, and asked them to kidnap all five members of the Su family.
Every time one more feature is described, the faces of these two people become uglier. However, Su Qingluan's speech was slow and slow, like cutting flesh with a dull knife, but he refused to say a happy word to the two people opposite him.
Yes, Su Qingluan did it on purpose. Because according to the current inherent evidence, Su Qingluan could think even with his heels that the two real masterminds on the opposite side could definitely shirk all the responsibilities to their subordinates, while he pretended to be innocent on the sidelines.
Su Qingluan also knew that if he wanted to continue to cooperate with Xie Mansion - even if this cooperation was temporary - he couldn't completely break up with him today.
But when she thought of the fear and pain her family might suffer as a result, Su Qingluan felt her anger well up.
Therefore, she wanted to give herself and her family a bad breath without making the situation particularly tense as much as possible.
So Su Qingluan sighed in a strange way: "Oh, obviously I am sincerely cooperating with you, but you act in such a despicable way. Such behavior is worse than a pig and a dog, which really makes me very sad. It seems that you are You don’t really want to do business together, right? If that’s the case, then I don’t have to hang myself from a tree—let alone a crooked-neck tree?”
