Chapter 109: Be Good to your wife

The alley was a little narrow, but it was enough for a car to drive in. Lu Xiangdong sped up, but because the alley was a little old, the road was uneven and full of rocks and potholes. As the car moved forward, it swayed unsteadily and Su Mianmian carefully covered her stomach, her eyes fixed on the liar in front of her.

"Faster! We're going to catch up to him soon."

Lu Xiangdong told her to be quiet. He was controlling the speed of the car, so he couldn't drive too fast. The alley was too narrow.

The man walking in front turned around to find that a car had been following behind him.

When he took a few steps forward, the Land Rover inched ahead. Based on his intuition, there was something wrong with the car.

The man rolled his eyes, and took the opportunity to turn into an even narrower alley. This time, Lu Xiangdong could no longer drive into it.

"Get out of the car." Lu Xiangdong took off his seatbelt.

Su Mianmian noticed that the man had sneakily escaped. He must have discovered that they were following him.

"You follow behind. I'll go take a look." Lu Xiangdong quickly got out of the car and chased after him along the small alley.

Su Mianmian had to take care of the child in her stomach, so she could only chase after him slowly.

The man had already walked for some distance. He stopped in front of a wall. He could not tell if his eyes had been playing tricks on him, but he was sure that the car had been chasing after him. He leaned against the wall with one hand and bent over, panting heavily.

Suddenly, someone slapped him hard on his shoulder, scaring him so much that he jumped to the side.

He pointed at Lu Xiangdong and took a few steps back. "Are you a human or a ghost?"

Lu Xiangdong crossed his arms and approached the man. The more afraid the man was, the more it proved that he had a guilty conscience.

"After doing so many evil things, it's natural for me to be afraid." He grabbed the man's arm and twisted it back, only to hear the crisp sound of bones dislocating.

"Ah! Please spare my life! I don't know how I offended you, please tell me!" The man's face twisted in pain.

Su Mianmian jumped out of nowhere and walked in front of the man. She kicked the man's groin and pinched his ear. "Return my thousand yuan to me or I'll leave you here as a corpse."

The man put his hands together and begged, "I'll return it. Please spare me!"

Lu Xiangdong pushed him against the wall. One of his teeth fell out and he covered his bleeding mouth. He bumped into Su Mianmian and she took a step back. He took this opportunity to escape again.

"Ah! So despicable. Quickly catch him, don't let him escape!" Su Mianmian took off the shoes on her feet. She was about to throw them at him, but he grabbed her wrist.

"Put them on, leave him to me!"

In the blink of an eye, Lu Xiangdong and the man had disappeared in front of her. Su Mianmian quickly put on her shoes and struggled out of the alley.

She didn't know where Lu Xiangdong and the man had gone. Su Mianmian cried out in fear, "Lu Xiangdong! Lu Xiangdong!"

Lu Xiangdong had already blocked the man into a dead end. He could not escape. As the man looked at the tall man approaching him, his short and fat legs went weak. He leaned against the wall, moved left, then right, and then finally, he crouched down. He wanted to cross through Lu Xiangdong's legs. He tried to crawl down, but Lu Xiangdong saw through his trick. He squeezed his long legs together and the man was stuck, unable to move.

Lu Xiangdong pulled the man's hair and tilted his head back. "Return the money or I'll strip you naked and hang you on the wall."

"I- I have no money."

"No money? Well then, it seems that I can only-"

"Wait a minute! I can take the money from my wife and return it to you. Please give me a chance!" The man was in so much pain that he broke out into a cold sweat.

"You've already wasted a chance! If you dare to lie to me again, you'll drag your family down with you, understand?" Lu Xiangdong patted his face. He was deliberately trying to scare him. In truth, he didn't like to be rough unless he had no other choice. He could only solve this problem with his fists.

"Yes- yes, I promise I won't do anything reckless again." The man raised his hand and swore.

Lu Xiangdong believed him this time. He grabbed his collar and pulled him out from under his legs.

The man fell to the ground and didn't dare to do anything reckless again.

This time, he obediently brought him back to his house to get the money.

Lu Xiangdong shouted, "Wait a minute!" He took out his phone and called Su Mianmian. He didn't know where she had gone.

Su Mianmian's phone suddenly vibrated, giving her a fright.

"Hello?" She pressed her phone to her ear, her eyes searching for his whereabouts.

"Where are you?" he asked her.

Su Mianmian shook her head. She didn't know. She seemed to have lost her way.

"I can't find my way. I think I'm going the wrong way."

Lu Xiangdong frowned and went forward to grab the man's collar. He said to her, "Stand there and wait. I'll be right there. See if there are any landmarks around."

Su Mianmian saw a house in front of her. There was a couplet on the door, and she told him the contents of the couplet.

Lu Xiangdong pushed the man. "Go ahead and lead the way."

She hung up the phone and waited for him.

Lu Xiangdong and the man rushed over. The man led him through a few alleys before they saw her standing under a street lamp. He pushed the man faster.

"Lu Xiangdong!" Su Mianmian turned around and saw Lu Xiangdong and the man. The moment she saw the liar, Su Mianmian's hair stood on end.

"Return my money!" She raised the bag in her hand and threw it at the man's face. The man did not avoid it, and it hit his face.

"Su Mianmian, don't be rash."

Only then did Su Mianmian take back her hand. She angrily put down the bag and glared at the man. "Where's my money? Give me back my thousand yuan quickly."

The man covered his face and felt extremely wronged. "I don't have any money on me right now. Please wait for a moment. I'll give you the money right away."

Lu Xiangdong asked him to lead the way quickly.

Su Mianmian asked him quietly, "Can you believe the man?" He wouldn't want to take the opportunity to mess with them, right?

Lu Xiangdong replied indifferently, "I don't think he would dare."

The man timidly pointed at an old house in front of him and said, "This is my home. Wait for me outside. I will immediately gather a thousand yuan for you."

Su Mianmian could not help but twitch her lips. He still needed to gather a thousand yuan?

The man returned to the house quietly, but his wife was woken up by him. She turned on the light beside the bed and sat up abruptly. Seeing that he was holding her savings jar in his hand, she pounced on him fiercely.

"What are you doing with my money, you stinky man?"

"Stinky woman, give me the money quickly, or I will be beaten to death!" The man knelt down for the woman.

The woman was stunned. She thought that he was lying to her. After all, he had cheated her a few times and used all of it to gamble. She thought that he was doing the same trick again.

"Go to hell. It's fine if you don't do your job all day, but don't cheat me of this little money. You are not worthy to be a man." The woman kicked him in the stomach. The man loosened his hand and fell to the ground.

"Honey, I'm really in trouble. If you don't give me the money, I'll die." The man got up from the ground and looked around for a tool to kill himself. He picked up a pair of scissors from the basket and pressed it against his neck. He made up his mind and only made a small cut.

The woman rushed over and took his scissors. She lay on his body and scolded him, "Why do I have such a hard life? I married a stinky man like you, and I have to live a life that is neither human nor ghost with you!"

The man grabbed her shoulders and pushed her onto the bed. He picked up the money jar on the ground and ran away.

The woman wiped away her tears and realized that she had been deceived again. She started to hit the bed.

The man took the money and ran out. "Your thousand yuan is all here!"

Su Mianmian looked at him suspiciously as he passed the money jar over. She heard the sound of an argument coming from his room. Had this man spent all his money and come back to ask his wife for money? She looked down on men who relied on women the most.

The man felt a little uncomfortable under her scrutiny and thought about kneeling down to begging her to let him go.

Su Mianmian slapped him on the face. The man was stunned by the slap while Lu Xiangdong crossed his arms to see what she wanted to do.

She grabbed the man's collar and cursed through gritted teeth, "This money belongs to your wife, right? You spent all my money, didn't you? Not only did you behave inappropriately, you even reached out to ask your wife for money. A man like you is a disgrace to men!"

Lu Xiangdong raised his eyebrows. He was also a man, but he never relied on women.

The man immediately knelt on the ground and apologized. "I was wrong. Please let me go. I don't dare to ask my wife for money anymore. Please take the money and leave quickly."

Su Mianmian squatted down and patted his face. She threw the money at his face. "Get lost. Take the money and return it to your wife. If I ever find out that you're out to commit fraud again, I'll send you to the police station!"

The man bowed to her. "Yes."

"Also, be nice to your wife!" Su Mianmian did not understand why she had worked so hard to chase after him to collect the debt. She did not want the money so much. Perhaps she felt pity for his wife. A thousand yuan was not a lot of money to her, but it was probably all of the wife's savings.
