Dealing with Mrs. Thompson

No matter how much Tang Shi provoked verbally next, Su Li ignored her and accompanied Wu Caiwei home.

Because just now, Su Li had made up her mind to end Tang Shi's life. In Su Li's eyes, Tang Shi was already a dead woman.

A dead person, let her flap her wings a little more, say a few more words, and then she would no longer have the chance to speak maliciously.

The safe return of Little Clown put everyone's minds at ease. Su Li also silently agreed to let Wu Caiwei tell Zhang Mu about Xiao Zetian's identity. Zhang Mu was not as surprised as Wu Caiwei; he said, "I had already noticed that Yuanbao brother was exceptionally skilled. Such martial arts are not something ordinary people possess."

News of the child's whereabouts reached Qingmiao City, and Yuan Jie returned from the city. First, he checked on Little Clown and, seeing the child was only a bit thin and not abused, he was relieved. Then he called Su Li into a room to discuss.

"That wretched Tang Shi, I really can't stand it anymore," Yuan Jie's eyes burned with anger. "When I returned to the village, I heard Tang Shi spreading rumors everywhere, saying Wu Caiwei's son should be dead! As long as Tang Shi lives, she will always harbor ill intentions towards my Yin Dou! There's no such thing as defending against thieves for a thousand days; this poisonous woman should have been dealt with long ago!"

A cold light flashed in Su Li's eyes. "Fourth Uncle, what do you plan to do about Tang Shi? If you need help, just say the word!"

Yuan Jie glanced at Su Li and said, "Ali, do you have any ideas?"

Su Li thought for a moment and said, "There are many ways to quietly deal with Tang Shi, but recently there's a ready-made excuse. Since bandits managed to kidnap one child in the village, they could easily take a second..."

Yuan Jie slammed the table. "Good! Then let's disguise ourselves as bandits to kidnap her and get Tang Shi out, without anyone noticing..."

Yuan Jie made a chopping gesture with one hand, mimicking a knife cutting.

Su Li and Yuan Jie reached an agreement to act tonight and forcibly take Tang Shi from her home. As for the people involved, Su Li pulled Li Yanhao out to serve as a decoy and said she would borrow experts from the Young Master.

Yuan Jie thought that the experts raised by the Young Master definitely had better skills than his ordinary henchmen, so they would be safer for kidnapping. He handed the task to Su Li.

Su Li then called Ling Dang and said, "Ling Dang, tonight you go to Tang Shi's house, tie her up, and bring her back. Disguise yourself as a bandit and be clean about it, don't let other villagers notice."

Ling Dang nodded. She was an expert at these kinds of tasks and said, "Master, rest assured."

At night, Ling Dang changed into a bandit's clothes, covered her face, and quietly sneaked into Tang Shi's house under the cover of darkness.

Tang Shi and Zhang Zhaocai were in the firewood shed, mother and son huddled together for warmth, sleeping soundly.

Ling Dang silently stood in the firewood shed and swiftly struck both Tang Shi and Zhang Zhaocai on the neck with two palms, knocking them out.

Ling Dang first got Tang Shi up, put a sack over her, and then looked at Zhang Zhaocai sleeping nearby.

Zhang Zhaocai was knocked out by Ling Dang and was sound asleep, completely unaware of the outside situation.

Ling Dang quickly carried Tang Shi on her shoulder. Although she was slender, she was quite strong. Carrying Tang Shi while climbing walls was very light for her. She also intentionally left some clues to make it look like bandits had kidnapped her.

Splash! A basin of water was poured onto Tang Shi's face. Tang Shi woke up with a start from her unconsciousness and found herself tied up in a shabby room she did not recognize.

In the middle of the room was a barely burning campfire. On the other side of the fire, Yuan Jie and Su Li stood side by side, with a few others behind them. It was too dark for Tang Shi to see who they were.

"What are you doing? Are you kidnapping me? Is there no law?" Tang Shi shouted in terror.

Su Li looked coldly at Tang Shi and said, "Didn't you say I had the ability to kill you? Now I'll let you know if I really do!"
