Chapter – 94
Just Asking to Be Beaten (3rd Update)
Lu Li narrowed his eyes slightly. His gaze suddenly fell on a corner not far away. He quickly walked over and bent down to pick up a small rectangular box.
It was a box of matches.
He glanced at the rain outside. The downpour had not become any lighter. After looking back at Mu Wanwan, he placed the matchbox beside her and then ran out into the rain.

In front of an old wooden window, Qiao Le looked at the raging wind and rain outside. The worry in her heart kept growing.
With such heavy rain, she did not know whether Lu Li had found Wanwan yet.
If she had known this would happen, she would never have insisted on dragging Wanwan here.
“Qiao Le, drink some water first.”
Huo Zheng walked over and handed her the cup in his hand. “Don’t worry. Lu Li will definitely find Wanwan.”
Qiao Le looked at him and took the cup.
“I hope so.”
Not far away, An Yao and Lu Ziqing were sitting on chairs.
After learning that Lu Li had run into the deep mountains to look for Mu Wanwan, Lu Ziqing rarely felt regret.
After changing into clean clothes, she had been sitting quietly on the chair without saying a word.
Qiao Le’s face suddenly turned dark. She raised her hand and slapped Lu Ziqing across the face.
After finishing scolding in one breath, Qiao Le released her.
Lu Ziqing staggered back two steps before finally managing to steady herself.
“I don’t care how heavy the rain is. They must go find them right now. No matter how much money it costs, they must bring my brother back safely.”
An Yao looked at the safety talisman clenched tightly in her palm. Her eyes were dark and unreadable.
Huo Zheng and the others also gathered around.
Fu Dong shook the rainwater from his hair, his expression serious.
“The storm is too strong. The rescue team can’t start the rescue right now. We can only wait until the rain gets lighter before taking action.”
When she thought about how Mu Wanwan and Lu Li’s lives were still unknown, Qiao Le became even more emotional.
She grabbed Lu Ziqing by the collar.
“You think you can throw money at everything? With that little dirty money of yours, you should use it to fix your twisted and dark heart!”
With such heavy rain in the deep mountains, the danger was extremely high.
“Enough.” Qiao Le clenched her fists and stared at her sharply.
“Lu Ziqing, how long are you going to keep making trouble? Who caused this mess in the first place? So what if you have money? Does that make you so great? Lu Li’s life is a life, but the lives of those rescue workers aren’t lives?”
“What do you mean they can’t start the rescue? What are they even good for? If something happens to my brother, how will they compensate for it?”
Lu Ziqing’s spoiled temper flared up again. Her harsh and mean tone made Fu Dong and the others frown.
Messy footsteps sounded from outside, getting closer and closer.
Qiao Le turned to look.
Fu Dong hurried inside, his clothes slightly wet.
Qiao Le’s heart sank.
“What about Wanwan and Lu Li?”
She put down the cup and quickly walked toward him.
“How is it? Have you found them?”
“Qiao Le, watch your mouth.”
Lu Ziqing’s face turned red as she pointed at Qiao Le and cursed.
“If Mu Wanwan hadn’t kept clinging to my brother like a ghost, why would he run into the back mountain? Back then, Mu Wanwan was the one who abandoned my brother. Why is she showing up in front of him again now? Maybe she was dumped by some other man when she was abroad, so she came back to find my brother again…”
Pa—
A loud, clear slap echoed in the room.
Lu Ziqing’s cheek quickly swelled red.
An Yao was stunned for a moment. Fu Dong and Huo Zheng were also shocked at first.
When they came back to their senses and saw Lu Ziqing’s swollen cheek, they exchanged a glance and silently chose not to say anything.
After all, what Lu Ziqing had just said was truly too much.
