The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 434 Negotiation Before the Battle_1

"It’s temporarily okay, I’ll figure out a way, try not to worry too much," Li Qing said with a softened tone.

Although Li Qing told Tian Yue’e not to worry, such an incident had suddenly occurred; how could Tian Yue’e not worry?

But she knew she had no ability to help Li Qing. To prevent distracting him, she had to forcibly calm herself down.

"You must be very careful; I’ll take care of everything at home," Tian Yue’e said gently.

"You must bring your sister-in-law and Xingxing back safely!"

Li Qing nodded, went out, hopped onto his motorcycle, and sped off towards the county town.

On the road, he called Qi Mengru, "Give me your family’s location."

"Why do you want my family’s location?" Qi Mengru asked in surprise, "Has something happened?"

She sensed something amiss from Li Qing’s icy tone.

"Don’t get involved in this matter, whatever the outcome, I don’t want to put you in a difficult position," Li Qing said gravely, "Just give me an address, that’s all."

Although Qi Mengru always spoke of cutting ties with the Qi family,

Li Qing could see that while her hatred was real, she still cared deeply about the family that had raised her.

Today’s incident was a matter of life and death; Li Qing didn’t want to make things difficult for Qi Mengru.

Right now, he was just very eager to find out where Qi Guoyuan’s hideout was located.

"Where are you? I’ll come to you!" Qi Mengru shouted, "You are my man, more important than those sanctimonious relatives who only know how to use me and even want to kill my son. I know how to make a choice!"

"Hurry up and tell me!"

Li Qing was silent for a while before saying, "I’m almost at the town!"

"Alright, I’ll wait for you at the school gate," Qi Mengru said.

When Qi Mengru showed her strong side, it made Li Qing unsure how to refuse.

If only he hadn’t asked her.

Lü Zong had some dealings with the Qi family; he might also know the location of Qi Guoyuan’s hideout.

Li Qing twisted the throttle to the max and arrived at the entrance of the Third High School in just minutes.

Qi Mengru was already there waiting.

"Get on!"

Without any unnecessary words, she directly said to Li Qing.

Her crisp and domineering style left Li Qing somewhat bewildered.

Just a few days ago, she had been completely obedient, a model of a gentle and dependent woman.

"What happened?" After Li Qing got on, Qi Mengru asked while driving.

"Your dad has captured my sister-in-law and girlfriend," Li Qing had to say.

"I knew it!" Qi Mengru cursed and slapped the steering wheel.

"I had always wanted to warn you, my dad and my two brothers are cold-blooded creatures, only concerned with themselves and the family’s interests. They would use their own wives and daughters as tools to achieve their goals."

"I’ve always been worried they’d seek revenge, but I’ve been having too much fun these past few days and forgot about it."

Li Qing massaged his sore brow, "I thought he would restrain himself after seeing his son and relatives fall before him, that he would stop trying to provoke me and let this matter rest. I truly overestimated your father."

"It’s not just about not provoking you that’s so simple; you’ve also blocked their way to the Underground Palace. That’s probably the real reason they’re upset. Compared to the things in the Underground Palace, they would definitely be willing to spend a lot of money to hire someone to deal with you again," Qi Mengru muttered through clenched teeth, "This is my fault, I should have warned you sooner."

"It’s not your fault, I thought too simply," Li Qing frowned slightly and asked, "You mean your dad will hire someone else?"

"This is absolute," Qi Mengru said. "Last time, he suffered such a big loss at your hands, he definitely wouldn’t make the same mistake again. Now that he dares to do this, he must be fully confident."

"If you really can’t deal with it, you can threaten me in exchange for your sister-in-law and your girlfriend."

Li Qing looked at Qi Mengru with a shocked expression, "I won’t do that."

"Although in his eyes, I’ve always been just a tool, I think he would still care somewhat about my life," Qi Mengru said. "Listen to me, it’s important to rescue your sister-in-law and your girlfriend."

"My father is ruthless and capable of anything, rescuing them is what’s important!"

Qi Mengru turned her head, looked at Li Qing with a smile, and said, "Don’t make it so complicated, it’s just a means of rescue."

"At the end of the day, I’m his daughter, I won’t be harmed."

"I will act according to the situation, but I won’t use you as a shield lightly," said Li Qing in a deep voice.

"Look at you, I may not be your girlfriend, but I am your woman!" Qi Mengru said helplessly. "At a time like this, don’t overthink it, I just want to help you."

Li Qing forced a smile.

He naturally understood what Qi Mengru meant.

But he really didn’t want to sacrifice Qi Mengru for the safety of his sister-in-law and Wu Xingxing.

Qi Guoyuan was a man of cruel nature, and if Qi Mengru really got into trouble, he would be remorseful for the rest of his life.

"I will take action depending on the situation, but this is just the last and worst plan!" Li Qing said in a stern voice. "Listen to me."

"...Alright, I’ll listen to you."

Qi Mengru didn’t insist further with Li Qing; she concentrated on driving.

The car cut through the road like an arrow, driving into the villa area south of the city.

This was a wealthy district in Tongcheng, inhabited by the rich and powerful.

Qi Mengru slowed down the car and stopped in front of a large five-story villa.

"We’re here!"

Qi Mengru got out of the car first, looking at the villa in front of her with complex emotions.

This was the home she could no longer return to.

Almost at the same moment Li Qing got out of the car, several figures walked out from the villa.

"Mengru, come here!"

Qi Guoyuan came out in front and, upon seeing Qi Mengru next to Li Qing, he shouted harshly.

"Dad, do you know what you are doing? Let them go!" Qi Mengru screamed in agony.

"You’re not in the position to lecture me, I know what I’m doing, but do you know what you’re doing? Come here!" Qi Guoyuan shouted furiously, his face turning a deep shade of iron blue.

Qi Mengru shook her head, "Dad, don’t keep making mistakes and be stubbornly oblivious!"

"You worthless thing, are you helping him kill your own father?" Qi Guoyuan’s face twisted viciously, his forehead instantly bulging with veins.

"I’m just doing what’s right," Qi Mengru said with her eyes brimming with tears, shaking her head in pain.

Li Qing’s gaze fell on the two young people next to Taoist Master Shishan.

They were the only two unfamiliar faces, probably the reinforcements Qi Guoyuan had brought in.

"Where are my sister-in-law and my girlfriend?" Li Qing demanded.

"They are fine, give me what I want, and they will appear before you safe and sound," Qi Guoyuan sneered looking at Li Qing. "Don’t try any tricks, or I really can’t guarantee what I might do."

"I need to see that they are unharmed!" Li Qing shouted sternly.
