Chapter 929: Chapter 868: Mystery
"Pa!" As soon as the stray dog’s words fell, Han Xin’er directly slapped him hard across the face.
As her slap landed, the twenty or so small thugs around them immediately wanted to rush forward, but they were stopped by the stray dog.
"Shameless! Despicable!" Han Xin’er shouted angrily at the stray dog in front of her.
"A beauty is a beauty, even when she hits someone, it feels so good; but just because of that slap you gave, I’m raising the price now. It’s twenty thousand, either give the money or give the person, the choice is yours." The stray dog looked at Han Xin’er with a smile and said softly.
Liu Hun, who had been at the scene from the beginning, stood quietly at the edge without speaking, but by now he finally understood.
The conflict between Han Xin’er and her sister was likely not due to Han Yunzhong’s favoritism, but because of Han Bing’er’s face!
Even if one’s figure is perfect, an ugly face ruins everything. Han Bing’er had pockmarks all over her face, while Han Xin’er was like a goddess, perfect in both figure and looks. Such a huge psychological gap was naturally hard to accept, especially since she was her long-lost sister. After all, jealousy among women is an unchangeable truth.
"I have a few questions, can you answer them for me?" Just as Han Xin’er was furious, Liu Hun slowly approached Han Bing’er and asked softly.
"Who are you?" Looking at the not-so-handsome man in front of her, Han Bing’er’s brow furrowed instinctively, and she replied somewhat irritably.
"If we go by seniority, you should call me brother-in-law." Liu Hun shrugged, seeing Han Bing’er’s dazed expression, and continued, "You mentioned that last time you had a conflict with the stray dog over Xiaohan, and you paid a few thousand; that’s correct, right?"
"So what?" Han Bing’er replied in a harsh tone; it wasn’t clear if it was about Liu Hun’s relation to her sister or the issue with Xiaohan.
"You often asked your sister for money, I heard from her. But judging by your clothes, they’re all cheap, and you don’t have any accessories, which means you’re quite frugal in your daily life, am I right?" Liu Hun continued to question Han Bing’er.
"If you’re here to mock me on her behalf, then let me tell you, yes, I don’t have money, so I buy cheap goods like these. But so what, my life is my life, her life is her life, what does this have to do with me?" Han Bing’er shouted angrily at Liu Hun.
"Since you admit it, let’s continue. If you’re frugal, every time you ask your sister for money, it’s three to five thousand, and this time it’s as much as ten thousand. It seems there’s something else besides your own needs, like you getting into trouble and needing money to smooth things over, right?" Despite Han Bing’er’s fury, Liu Hun remained unfazed and continued to ask.
"If you’re not giving money, then leave, my matters are none of an outsider’s concern." Han Bing’er stared fiercely at Liu Hun.
Seeing Han Bing’er’s icy demeanor, Liu Hun sighed and said, "It’s indeed foolish that you still haven’t realized it by now."
At this point, Liu Hun paused, and seeing Han Bing’er about to explode, he continued, "Since I’m your sister’s boyfriend, I’m not an outsider. Otherwise, you wouldn’t reach out to your sister first whenever you get into trouble. If you were truly capable, why do you still need your sister to cover for you?"
"Fine, I will never reach out to you again!" Han Bing’er shot a fierce look at Liu Hun, then shifted her gaze to Han Xin’er.
Seeing her sister treat her like a foe at this moment, Han Xin’er’s heart ached a bit; after all, they were sisters.
"Bing’er, Liu Hun didn’t mean that..." Han Xin’er hurriedly explained.
"Whether he did or didn’t, it no longer matters to you, now please leave." Han Bing’er replied without looking at Han Xin’er.
"Since I’m here, leaving isn’t that simple. Han Bing’er, don’t think I’m stupid. Based on what you said, there’s no way you have ten thousand dollars, so since your sister is here, I can’t let her leave." The stray dog said softly at this moment.
And as he finished speaking, all the thugs blocked the door, clearly not intending to let Han Xin’er leave.
"You!" Seeing this, Han Bing’er trembled with rage, her chest heaving, and she glared at the stray dog, but found herself powerless against him.
After hesitating for a moment, Han Bing’er suddenly pulled a pendant, gleaming with a golden light, from her pocket, and directly offered it to the stray dog and the others, saying, "This item I got by chance, and I checked online, it’s made entirely of gold, worth at least thirty thousand. I’ll use this as a substitute!"
As soon as Han Bing’er finished speaking, everyone’s gaze fell on the golden pendant. Apart from its golden glow, it also bore an eerie design of a dog with three ferocious heads, seeming almost alive.
Originally, Liu Hun appeared calm, but upon seeing the pendant, his pupils contracted sharply. He snatched it from Han Bing’er’s hand, examined it carefully, and quickly put it into his pocket.
