The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1155 - 978, I do have a big backer

The Second-in-charge had captured the son of Prince Weiyuan, which was unexpected by the Boss and the others. Now they had to come up with new plans to rescue the Third and the Fourth, while also avoiding any retaliation from Prince Weiyuan.

Looking at the little child who stood in the meeting hall, craning his neck to meet his gaze, the Boss beckoned the Fifth-in-charge over: "Old Five, take this little one to the backyard, and have Old Li watch over him."

Daozi did not want to be locked up just like that, and wanted to try negotiating for himself: "Uncle, can we make a deal?"

The Boss’s eyelids twitched. The little child was indeed cute, but he was not very keen on talking to him. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

The Second-in-charge had stirred up huge trouble, and they had to quickly find a solution. The discussions in the meeting hall were about critical matters concerning the survival of Wuhu Village. Now he had to talk to this little child before him, which gave him the illusion of child’s play.

Having honed his skills in facing off against Daohua with his wits on a daily basis in the Prince Residence, Daozi was adept at reading people’s expressions. Seeing that the Boss didn’t want to engage with him, he started to speak for himself.

"Uncle, I’m of a very noble status. Your capturing me will bring big trouble."

"I’m telling you, I have powerful backers."

With that, he stretched out his little chubby hand, and started to list his important connections.

"I have an imperial grandfather, do you know who he is? He’s the current Emperor. When I turned one, he even sent me a Jade Qilin."

"Do you know how important the Emperor is? He’s a very, very high official. He rules over everyone in the world, every single person is his subject and must obey him."

"I also have a grandfather who is the Prince of Ping in Beijing, and he adores me."

"My great ancestor is the Emperor’s uncle, the Duke of the Realm at court; and my great-great-grandfather is the old Duke from the Duke Residence."

"My father is Prince Weiyuan, my mother is the Princess Consort, and my Grandfather Chu is a martial arts master. It was really unwise of you to capture me."

Saying this, he spread his hands and looked at everyone with innocent eyes, "Look for yourselves, by capturing me, you’ve offended so many people at once, isn’t that a bad deal?"

The meeting hall fell eerily quiet, everyone staring at Daozi with an odd expression.

Was the son of Prince Weiyuan a little too shrewd?

This young boy, at such a tender age, was here trying to bluff them, these bandits from Wuhu Village!

Seeing that no one replied, Daozi got a bit anxious and persisted: "If they find out I’ve been captured by you, they’re sure to be furious, and you will be in trouble."

"But don’t worry, they all like me very much. As long as you release me, I’ll ask them not to pursue the matter with you."

The Boss took a deep breath and said to the Fifth-in-charge: "Quick, take this little demon away."

The Fifth-in-charge nodded, came over to grab Daozi.

Seeing this, Daozi quickly backed away: "Hey, let’s talk this out, why do you have to keep bullying me, a child? Aren’t you afraid of becoming a laughingstock if word gets out?"

But Daozi was no match for the Fifth-in-charge, who was strong and burly, and within moments, Daozi was caught.

Having given up hope, Daozi knew they wouldn’t release him, yet he still pleaded, "Even if you don’t release me, at least be nice to me, don’t mistreat me."

The Fifth-in-charge chuckled looking at the clever child in his grasp: "Who’s mistreating you? With such a noble status, we wouldn’t dare!"

Daozi kicked his hanging feet a little: "Then don’t hold me up like this, you’re hurting my arm, I can walk by myself, and it’ll save you some effort."

The Fifth-in-charge, being the youngest among the Five Tigers and yet unmarried, had never seen such a clever and adorable child and couldn’t help but soften his grip: "If I don’t hold you, what if you run away?"

Daozi gave him a disdainful look: "I’m just a child, if all of you can’t keep an eye on me, that would really be incompetent."

Uh...

Even the Second-in-charge became restless: "Old Five, hurry up and take this brat away." If he continued listening, he would start to regret bringing this kid back.

The Fifth-in-charge smiled, picked up Daozi, and left the meeting hall. Once they were outside, he set Daozi down: "Keep up, or else I’ll have to carry you again."

Daozi sensed that this one in front of him meant no harm. He trotted a couple of steps, grabbed onto the Fifth-in-charge’s clothes, and while following him, looked around everywhere.

The Fifth-in-charge, amused, said: "What now, you’re observing the route planning to run away?"

Daozi glanced at the Fifth-in-charge with a look of contempt; he wouldn’t tell this simpleton that he was scouting for good hiding spots.

He was excellent at playing hide-and-seek; even his mother couldn’t find him.

Dad and Mom will definitely come to rescue him. As long as he hides well and waits for them to find him, he can go home.

The fifth chief saw himself despised by a little brat and was utterly speechless.

At this moment, they arrived at the backyard.

The fifth chief handed Daozi to Old Man Li, who was resting against the wall under the eaves: "Old Li, this little guy is the son of Prince Weiyuan. The boss wants you to keep an eye on him."

Old Man Li’s eyes widened immediately upon hearing that Daozi was the son of Prince Weiyuan. He looked Daozi over and frowned, asking, "Who captured him?"

The fifth chief smiled bitterly, "Second brother."

Old Man Li snorted, "He’s always causing trouble."

The fifth chief didn’t know how to respond, "The boss is still discussing what to do next, so I’ll head back first."

Old Man Li grunted in acknowledgment. After the fifth chief left, Old Man Li continued his rest against the wall, not minding Daozi.

Standing aside, Daozi looked at Old Man Li and, after a while, couldn’t help but ask, "Grandpa, aren’t you going to lock me up?"

Old Man Li opened his eyes a crack, "If you want to be locked up, find a room and stay there yourself."

Daozi glanced at the surrounding rooms; they were so dilapidated and dark that he didn’t want to stay inside. After thinking for a bit, he sat down about two or three meters away from Old Man Li.

After a while, seeing that Old Man Li seemed to have fallen asleep, Daozi cautiously stood up and walked towards the yard door.

It looked as if he was trying to escape!

However, just as Daozi stepped out from under the eaves, ’whoosh’, a wooden plank flew past in front of his face and ’bang’, hit the yard door, which instantly closed.

Seeing this, Daozi was stunned, then slowly turned around to look at Old Man Li.

Observing that Old Man Li had now opened both eyes and was staring at him with an expressionless face, Daozi chuckled awkwardly, waving his arms and shaking his legs, "I’m just stretching."

Old Man Li said nothing and closed his eyes again.

Feeling a bit deflated, Daozi sighed and returned to sit under the eaves, not far from Old Man Li.

After all, he was just a four-year-old child. Once it quieted down, Daozi began to miss his parents; his eyes reddened, and his nose tingled.

Old Man Li, hearing the sobbing, squinted over at Daozi, who was silently wiping away tears, and frowned, "Stop crying. A real man doesn’t shed tears but blood."

Daozi protested with a crying tone, "But I’m still a child, not a real man. You are real men, yet you bully a child."

Old Man Li was taken aback; he disliked the act of kidnapping children, but since Wuhu Village had taken him in, he didn’t have much to say.

Daozi wiped his tears with the back of his hand and slowly inched closer to Old Man Li, "Grandpa, why is your trouser leg so empty?"

Old Man Li gave Daozi a sidelong glance, annoyed, "I was hurt and didn’t get treated in time. It got amputated."

Daozi looked at Old Man Li with sympathy, "Grandpa, it’s so pitiful. How do you walk without a leg? Why don’t you go to Four Seasons Pharmacy? My mom arranges for free consultations there every month."

Old Man Li, looking into Daozi’s bright and clear eyes, fell silent for a while, "When I was injured, there was no Four Seasons Pharmacy."

Daozi uttered an ’Oh’, and then his eyes lit up, "Grandpa, help me escape. We have a Doctor Ge at home who is really good at medicine. If you take me back to the residence, I’ll get Doctor Ge to treat your leg."

Old Man Li looked at Daozi incredulously, as if to say, getting the person in charge of guarding him to rescue him—what an idea from this little guy.

"My leg’s been sawed off. It can’t be healed."

Daozi showed pity, "That’s really a shame."

Seeing Daozi’s plump face wrinkled up, Old Man Li couldn’t help but laugh, "What’s the pity? That I don’t rescue you?"

Daozi shook his head, "I pity that you can’t walk anymore, how painful that must be! You can’t go eat nice food or play fun games."

Old Man Li hadn’t expected this response, and he gazed at Daozi deeply.

He had heard of the deeds of the Prince and Princess Consort Weiyuan; though they were outlaws, one couldn’t deny their contributions to Xiliang.

This Second Chief, really reckless!
