Chapter 379 A Worthless Card
Until he reached the door, Third Master Ge remembered the money: "Mo Zhiqiang, when you get married, I'll transfer that million to you."
"Thank you, Third Master!"
Mo Zhiqiang was full of gratitude, thinking he had struck it rich. Mo Xiaohuan also smiled sweetly, looking like she was about to become wealthy.
However, Mo Xiaoxue, standing beside them, showed no change in expression, but her retreating figure seemed very lonely.
From reuniting with her father to making dumplings together on New Year's Eve and setting off firecrackers, it had been a very happy occasion. This was the first New Year she had spent with her family, but she never expected things to turn around like this.
As the group was about to leave the doorway, they were stopped.
"On such a festive New Year, and someone is already selling people?" Chen Xuan stepped forward, his expression icy.
Hearing this voice, Mo Xiaoxue, who was walking behind, suddenly looked up. She saw Chen Xuan, Su Yunxi, and Xue Chuan. She thought she was mistaken and rubbed her eyes hard. Only when she confirmed it was the familiar figures did her face show some reaction.
Third Master Ge and his companions also looked stern.
"Damn it, who are you? What do you mean selling people? I've found a good home for my daughter."
Mo Zhiqiang, seeing someone blocking his path to a better life, immediately got angry. He stepped forward and shouted at Chen Xuan and the others.
"A good home? What good home? You're marrying your daughter off to an imbecile as a child bride? Is that what you call a good home?"
Xue Chuan said angrily, "A bunch of scumbags."
"How dare you insult me..." Mo Zhiqiang lunged to punch Xue Chuan, but Xue Chuan dodged, causing Mo Zhiqiang to miss and stumble back several steps. He even twisted his back and grimaced in pain.
"Brother, I am from the Ge family, and I have some influence in Jiangzhou. Can you give my Ge family some face?"
Third Master Ge saw this, cupped his fists, and said with a smile.
"Ge family?" Chen Xuan hadn't heard of them and turned to look at Su Yunxi.
Su Yunxi also shook her head repeatedly, "I haven't heard of them."
Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi weren't deliberately toying with Second Master Ge; they genuinely hadn't heard of a Ge family in Jiangzhou.
Although Shan'ao Village was remote and very poor, it didn't mean that no important figures had emerged from here. The most famous person was Ge Erdan, known as Second Master Ge, though he had since changed his name to Ge Qingsong.
Ge Qingsong had opened a factory in Jiangzhou, specializing in martial arts equipment, and was a supplier to many martial arts schools in Jiangzhou. He had a considerable network and a net worth of tens of millions.
It was normal for Chen Xuan not to know about someone with a net worth of tens of millions.
And this Third Master Ge was the biological brother of Second Master Ge.
"Are you refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit?"
"Let me tell you, in this area, no one dares to provoke my Ge family."
Seeing that Chen Xuan and Xue Chuan were just two men, Third Master Ge was not afraid at all. He acted with impunity and even threatened Chen Xuan.
"Then today, I will teach you how to be a human!"
Without Chen Xuan speaking, Xue Chuan rubbed his fists and stepped forward, staring disdainfully at Third Master Ge.
"Go! Break his third leg!"
Third Master Ge was ruthless, immediately waving his hand and shouting.
Before he finished speaking, the black-clad bodyguards brought by Third Master Ge rushed forward, raising their fists to attack. But Xue Chuan was too fast. With one punch, he sent the bodyguard in front to the ground, and kicked another bodyguard flying.
In terms of time, it took less than three seconds.
Third Master Ge watched the bodyguards lying on the ground, groaning in pain, and his eyes widened.
He had only seen a blur earlier, not understanding what had happened before these two men were on the ground.
"How do you plan to teach us to be human?" Xue Chuan narrowed his eyes, smiling playfully at Third Master Ge.
Third Master Ge's old face turned green with anger, but he didn't back down. "If you have the guts, don't leave. I'll have my second brother bring people over."
"Call for backup? Heh! I'll wait for you here!"
Xue Chuan waved his hand dismissively.
Third Master Ge glared resentfully at Xue Chuan, but when he turned, he was startled by Xue Chuan again and turned to run. Seeing their master fleeing, the two bodyguards also bolted.
Mo Zhiqiang, seeing this, became furious. He turned and scolded Mo Xiaoxue fiercely, "Mo Xiaoxue, oh Mo Xiaoxue, how could I have a daughter like you? Look at the people you know, daring to offend the Ge family. Aren't you bringing great trouble to our family!"
"Do you know who the Ge family are?"
Xue Chuan interjected, "Oh, who are they?"
Mo Zhiqiang, clutching his sore waist, yelled, "The Ge family is the big shot of our Shan'ao Village, the pride of Shan'ao Village! The tycoons of Jiangzhou! What are you?"
Mo Zhiqiang's face was filled with resentment. If it weren't for Chen Xuan and the others appearing, he, Mo Zhiqiang, could have taken the money and lived a life of ease. But now, not only did he not get the money, but he had also courted disaster.
Mo Xiaoxue seemed not to hear Mo Zhiqiang's yelling. She turned to Su Yunxi and asked, "Yunxi Jie, why are you here?"
"Well, Xue Chuan saw that it was snowing heavily and said he'd come to pick you up to go back to Jiangzhou together."
"Give me the bank card!"
Mo Xiaoxue turned and looked at Mo Zhiqiang.
Mo Xiaoxue had been frugal and meticulous, saving all her money. Since becoming Su Yunxi's bodyguard, she hadn't even bought a piece of clothing. For what purpose? It was to give this money to Mo Zhiqiang.
The first day Mo Zhiqiang accepted her, Mo Xiaoxue gave her bank card to Mo Zhiqiang. This card contained tens of millions. However, Mo Zhiqiang didn't take it seriously, thinking it was an empty card, and didn't bother to check if there was money in it. After all, from the moment Mo Xiaoxue appeared, he thought she was living on the streets and had come to him for help.
"What card?" Mo Zhiqiang was stunned.
"The bank card I gave you that day."
"Tch, a worthless card." Mo Zhiqiang fumbled around for a moment, took out the bank card, and stuffed it directly into Mo Xiaoxue's hand.
Mo Xiaoxue carefully put it away.
Xue Chuan looked at Mo Zhiqiang as if he were an idiot. This bank card contained all of Mo Xiaoxue's savings, which she usually kept very carefully. It contained at least tens of millions.
Mo Zhiqiang was willing to sell his daughter to be a child bride for a million? Was this old fellow an imbecile?
Chen Xuan frowned and looked at Mo Xiaoxue, asking with suspicion, "Did you not mention how much money was in the bank card?"
Mo Xiaoxue shook her head, "I forgot."
After experiencing so much, Mo Xiaoxue was not good with words. She had simply given the bank card to Mo Zhiqiang wholeheartedly, as a gesture of goodwill towards him and this family. She never expected Mo Zhiqiang to not take it seriously at all.
Chen Xuan was speechless.
If she had spoken up, it might have led to a different outcome.
"Let's go," Mo Xiaoxue said to Chen Xuan.
"Alright!"
Chen Xuan nodded.
The group prepared to turn and leave.
Mo Zhiqiang, seeing the million he was about to receive disappearing, immediately became upset. He jumped out and said, "I'm telling you, you can leave, but leave my daughter behind. Otherwise, I'll report you to the authorities, saying you..."
Mo Xiaoxue ignored Mo Zhiqiang and turned to Chen Xuan and the others, saying, "Let's go."
"You think you can just leave? Are you trying to make your father unable to live?"
Mo Zhiqiang shouted and was about to charge forward, but he saw the fierce look in Xue Chuan's eyes and remembered how Xue Chuan had dealt with the Ge family's bodyguards. He froze.
"Want to run? No way!"
The group turned to leave, but as they reached the courtyard, a cold shout suddenly rang out.
