Chapter 23: My sardines!
Her cousin was a neat freak and wouldn't simply throw things about unless he was in rage. Jiang Zhaoling already knew of the conspiracy and rumors going on in the Shentu family. Everyone thought that she didn't know as she pretended to be a dumb gecko. She found Shentu Hu's words to be highly suspicious.
Don't tell me he came snooping through here for something? Oh hell, Jiang Zhaoling panicked and reached for the telephone.
When she was halfway through dialing her cousin's number, she paused. Shentu Jing was a busy man and it would be no problem if they discussed it when he gets back. Yes, when he gets back.
Shentu Mingye sped off and arrived in no time at Changchun. He walked into a store and knocked on the table. A man came out to attend to him.
"Little Master Shentu, what a pleasure! This is what you have been looking for," the shopkeeper gave him a can of sardines.
Although it was a can of sardines, the shopkeeper's eyes darted left and right to make sure that no one was watching.
"Thanks. Keep the change," Shentu Mingye gave him a stack of yuan.
"Ah, the Little Master is very generous! I look forward to doing business with you again," the shopkeeper smiled.
SMASH!
