Chapter 412: Accident
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The commoners were happy, but the swindlers who had been sentenced to exile and driven out of Cloud Mountain City were not having a good time. Rotten eggs and rotten vegetables were thrown at them.
Lin Suisui didn’t join in the fun. However, even though she was sitting in the backyard of Mrs. Luo’s family’s restaurant, she could still hear the firecrackers and cheers coming from the main road.
“Who would have thought that those people were so evil-hearted?” As Mrs. Luo picked the vegetables, she couldn’t help but lament when she heard the commotion outside, “I just found out that in the past, a child living in our alley only had a cough. After he visited the medical center over there, he passed away after taking the medical center’s medicine.”
The child’s family was so angry that they went to the medical center to argue, but they were beaten up.
There was no way for them to get justice.
“Now that I think about it, none of these people are good!”
“Things will get much better in the future.” Lin Suisui was watching Mrs. Luo and the others make rice cakes. She actually wasn’t that good at cooking. Lu Ze even teased her that the food she made wasn’t as delicious as his.
…..
However, perhaps she just wasn’t good at this, although Lin Suisui had always wanted to learn to cook, the results were always subpar.
Mrs. Luo and the others were different. Be it Mrs. Luo, her daughter-in-law, Fang Liu, or even Fang Rui’er, they were all good at cooking.
What they were making now were yellow rice cakes that had been selling very well in the eatery recently.
Lin Suisui also liked yellow rice cakes, so every now and then, Mrs. Luo would instruct the people in the shop to send yellow rice cakes over for her to cat.
“Apart from the medical center, we’ve discussed business with a few more shops. Although we’re a little busy, we’re earning more.” As Fang Liu busied with the work at hand, she smiled as she thanked Lin Suisui softly. “If not for your help, we wouldn’t have even dared to imagine having this sort of life.”
“You guys cook good food and the price is fair, so naturally, it’ll sell.” Lin Suisui didn’t care too much about this and said to truthfully Fang Liu, “Besides, I said back then that if the taste wasn’t good and customers were unwilling to buy it, this deal wouldn’t work.”
Mrs. Luo and the others were grateful to Lin Suisui, so they naturally wouldn’t make any mistakes in this aspect.
Lin Suisui stayed for a while longer. Seeing that it was getting late, she stood up and bid farewell. Then, she left through the back door of the eatery and walked out of the alley. Just as she was about to get into the carriage, a person rushed out.
Su Le reacted quickly. As Bai Guo shielded Lin Suisui, Su Le drew his knife and blocked the man who was planning to charge forward.
Lin Suisui recognized the disheveled man in front of her at a glance. He was actually an old acquaintance.
“Gu Han?”
Lin Suisui stared at the man who was fighting Su Le as he exclaimed. At the same time, she didn’t forget to instruct Bai Guo to send a signal immediately. Without hesitation, she said to Su Le, “Su Le, capture him alive at all costs!”
Gu Han didn’t expect Lin Suisui to have such an expert by her side.
After failing to capture Lin Suisui, he wanted to escape. However, since he had already revealed himself and was recognized by Lin Suisui, how could it be easy for him to escape?
Therefore, even though Gu Han tried to escape, he was still defeated because he was injured and exhausted from all the fighting. He was immediately tied up by Su Qi and the others who arrived later.
Lin Suisui ordered them to bring Gu Han back to the general’s residence.
“Why did you come to the northern region in such a sorry state?” Pei Qian rushed back after receiving the news.
He circled around Gu Han, who was tied to the chair and couldn’t move. Then, he asked with a smile, “Did you get kicked out because you couldn’t stay in the northern barbarian territory anymore?”
“Pfft!” Gu Han was gagged and couldn’t speak, but that didn’t stop him from spitting. He was now a tiger that had fallen from grace, but when he had the chance to make a comeback, he would definitely crush this bastard in front of him!
“Tsk tsk, you have such a bad temper.” Pei Qian turned around and sat in the seat closest to Gu Han. Then, he turned around and smiled at Gu Han. “Don’t tell me you think that you can make a comeback one day after falling into our hands?”
“I heard that Sr. Khan is seriously ill. Did you lose the fight for the throne?” Pei Qian had some information about the northern barbarians’ movements, so when he saw Gu Han appear in front of him alone in such a sorry state, he could guess what had happened to him.
Among Sr. Khan’s sons, Gu Han was the simplest.
Although he was brave and good at fighting and ranked first among his brothers, the position wasn’t something that could be won with strength. Therefore, after the previous discussion with Lu Ze, Pei Qian and Lu Ze agreed that the first to be eliminated would probably be Gu Han.
“Stop mocking me!” After Gu Han had his gag taken away by Pei Qian, he glared at Pei Qian with bloodshot eyes and said angrily, “I only made a small mistake. Next time, I’ll definitely kill that beast myself!”
“Were you set up?” When Lu Ze came in from outside and happened to hear Gu Han’s roar, he couldn’t help but smile and say, “You do look quite pitiful.”
“Are you all waiting to see me make a fool of myself?” Gu Han was enraged by these people’s gloating expressions.
He roared fiercely, “Alright, now that I’m in your hands, you can do whatever you want! If you want to kill me, kill me. If you want to skin me, skin me. I’ve never been afraid of death!”
“Did you put in so much effort to appear in front of Lin Suisui just to surrender?” Lu Ze shielded Lin Suisui and sat down on a seat further away. When he heard Gu Han’s words, he turned around and smiled at Gu Han. “When you came to make this decision, didn’t you think that you would be mocked by us?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I come looking for you?!” Embarrassment and uneasiness flashed across Gu Han’s face and he defended himself, “I just wanted to rob some money.. Who knew that I would bump into an acquaintance?”
