Chapter 162 Taking in the Man in Black
Shi Xiaoxiao's eyes moved slightly, "This is not the place to talk, come in first."
Even if they weren't cold, she would be cold.
The man in black's eyes lit up when he heard this.
There is a play!
Qianshan and Qianlan looked at each other and followed him in.
In Xixiao Courtyard, Shi Xiaoxiao looked at a group of people with bruised faces and noses and couldn't laugh even if she wanted to.
She didn't understand why these people wanted to come to her for help.
She crossed her arms and looked at them calmly, "What are you thinking, coming to me?"
The leader of the men in black looked at Shi Xiaoxiao sincerely and said, "Miss Shi, we all saw your ability when we worked with you last time. Plus, we brothers really have nowhere else to go, so we had no choice but to come to you."
Shi Xiaoxiao tilted her head slightly, "What do you mean you have nowhere to go? Where is your old nest?"
The leader of the men in black was slightly dejected upon hearing this. "Our hiding place has been discovered. I don't know who found us and how they destroyed our place. Now they are hunting us all over the city. That person is very powerful. Each of his men is worth ten of us. We can't defeat him at all. We have also lost many of our brothers. You are the only one who can save us."
Shi Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned when she heard this, "Who did you offend?"
So, if she accepts them, won't she be implicated?
Talking about the man in black, he felt particularly aggrieved. "We didn't offend anyone. When he chased us to our lair, he said we dared to target his people and ruin his plan. He also told us to return our property or we would be rude to him. We had to fight to the death to escape."
They have always been very cautious in their actions, and only take on business missions that do not pose a big threat to them.
I never thought about offending anyone.
They were being hunted for no apparent reason, which made them speechless.
And return the property?
When did they steal anything?
Xiaoxiao was slightly surprised when she heard what the man in black said.
Why did she feel like something was wrong after hearing what the man in black said?
Why do the words "big plan" and "returning property" sound so familiar?
Could it be the person behind Huo Tingxing?
Huo Tingxing's death destroyed that man's plan.
As for returning the property...
Didn't she steal from Huo Tingxing's warehouse? These men in black just happened to be blamed.
The final crisis of the relationship fell on her.
As she thought about it, Xiaoxiao's face showed a hint of unnaturalness.
"Since that man is hunting you all over the city, and you're coming to me now, won't I be implicated by you?"
"This……"
The leader of the men in black looked embarrassed.
They also knew that this might put Shi Xiaoxiao in deep danger, but only Shi Xiaoxiao could save them.
Shi Xiaoxiao looked at them with a guilty conscience. After all, it was she who implicated them.
Although she was happy when she knew someone was taking the blame, the person now happened to appear in front of her.
She just couldn't be happy.
The leader of the men in black was afraid that Shi Xiaoxiao would not take them in, so he quickly said, "Miss Shi, if you don't take us in, we will surely die. Please take us in. We can stay by your side and protect you at any time. We can also do business and make money for you, so you don't have to pay us. As long as we have a place to hide and can survive, that's all that matters."
Shi Xiaoxiao scoffed, "Who are you going to protect with your mediocre skills?"
Upon hearing this, the man in black lowered his head weakly and stopped talking.
They were indeed very weak. They knew from that time that they couldn't even beat Shi Xiaoxiao.
Qianshan and Qianlan raised their heads upon hearing this.
Start recommending yourself.
Qianshan: "Miss Shi, we can protect you. We are good at martial arts, much better than them."
Shi Xiaoxiao looked at his missing teeth and tried hard to suppress the smile in her heart.
"Why did your tooth fall out?"
Qianshan blushed when he heard this.
He moved his eyes away unnaturally.
How did he lose his teeth?
It was she who beat him.
Now pretending to be innocent.
Although his teeth were knocked out by Shi Xiaoxiao, he remembered Shi Xiaoxiao's abilities.
He accepted defeat with conviction.
It's their fault for not being as skilled as the other one. Two grown men were subdued by a little girl.
Qianlan felt amused when she saw Qianshan being humiliated.
Fortunately, he was smart and didn't get beaten too badly.
He said to Shi Xiaoxiao, "Miss Shi, if you want to deal with the Queen Mother, we can help you. We know a lot about her. It will be very helpful for you to accept us."
Shi Xiaoxiao looked at him calmly: "You still remember the time when you made me stupid when we were little, right? Why do you think I would take you in? Strictly speaking, you are still my enemies."
Qian Lan knew that she had let Shi Xiaoxiao down, and she said to her guiltily, "Miss Shi, I'm sorry. This is our fault. We will atone for our sins and serve you like slaves. We only ask that you save our lives."
Qianshan also said, "We were forced to do this. We didn't want to do that to you. Our families were controlled by the Queen Mother and forced to do things for her. Now our families are dead, and she still wants to kill us. We must escape."
Shi Xiaoxiao didn't say anything. She felt that Qian Lan's words made sense.
She needs help to deal with the Queen Mother. Qian Lan and the others came from the palace and knew everything about the Queen Mother.
But it is also much clearer than others.
Being able to recruit them for her own use would also be very useful to her.
Besides, there is no one around her who can be used.
By accepting them, you can have someone to run errands at any time.
Their presence made things convenient for her.
Shi Xiaoxiao's eyes rolled around.
"Okay, you can follow me, but you have to obey me in everything and you can't disobey my orders."
The group of men in black and Qianshan Qianlan were all very happy and knelt down to express their gratitude.
"Thank you, Miss Shi. I will obey your orders and follow your lead."
Shi Xiaoxiao curled her lips slightly.
Now her most important thing is to deal with the Queen Mother.
As for Qianshan and Qianlan, they can also be put to good use.
The most important thing is to deal with the Queen Mother first. At worst, I can just be the one who destroys the bridge after crossing it.
It was their fault for scaring the original owner so badly before, so they had to teach them a lesson.
Thinking of this, the look in her eyes when she looked at Qianshan and Qianlan was not as repulsive as before.
Instead, he looked very energetic as if he had seen a friend.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
As for whether we can become true friends in the end, let’s talk about it later.
However, she suddenly remembered that she had no place for them to stay.
Although she has money, she has no land!
Thinking of this, she frowned slightly.
Do we have to keep them all in the Prime Minister's Mansion?
That's definitely not possible.
Her Xixiaoyuan was not that big, and there were at least twenty people in front of her.
How can I explain to Shi Yuan if I leave them all in Xixiaoyuan?
An Er, who was standing behind Shi Xiaoxiao, seemed to be able to hear what Shi Xiaoxiao was thinking.
He lowered his voice and said, "Miss Shi, our master has a manor in Nanshan. If you need it, you can use it directly."
An Er’s words made Shi Xiaoxiao’s eyes light up.
He turned around and asked An Er: "Will your master sell it to me? I can buy it."
"It's okay, what belongs to our master is yours, you can use it directly."
Shi Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched slightly when she heard that.
This An Er is really betraying his master!
