Sold for 300, I Fight Back with Superpowers

Old Mrs. An still couldn’t wrap her head around it. ’I was clearly thinking of the bigger picture, trying to appease everyone. How did it all turn out like this?’

Mr. Gong examined the Purple Danshen closely, stroking it gently as if it were a rare treasure. He murmured, ”Good, good. This is truly wonderful.”

Then, Mr. Gong said excitedly to An Zhihan, ”Zhi Han, your legs can definitely recover.”

Hearing Mr. Gong’s words, not only were An Zhihan and the others thrilled, but even Old Mrs. An’s heart raced with excitement. ’If An Zhihan really recovers,’ she thought, ’and I hand the An Family over to him, will that balance things out for him? Will it make him feel some sense of belonging to the family?’

’As for my eldest and second son’s families, I’ve already considered them. I certainly won’t let them be disadvantaged.’

’Perhaps, if An Zhihan recovers, I can still balance the entire An Family.’

”Cousin, can Zhi Han’s legs really recover completely?” Old Mrs. An needed to confirm it again.

Mr. Gong nodded. ”No problem. With this stalk of Purple Danshen, given time, Zhi Han’s legs will definitely recover.”

”Good, good, that’s wonderful.” Old Mrs. An nodded. She looked at An Zhihan. ”Zhi Han, I know you’re resentful right now, and I understand how you feel. How about this? Give me some time. I’ll go back to Xiangcheng and investigate this matter thoroughly. If it really was your first and second uncles who did this, I will give you a proper accounting. Alright?”

An Zhihan said nothing. He had long since stopped expecting any so-called ”accounting” from the An Family.

”Zhi Han.” Seeing An Zhihan remain silent, Old Mrs. An couldn’t help but feel anxious.

”That’s enough. What are you doing, making things difficult for the boy here?” Mr. Gong said coldly. ”Instead of this, you should hurry back and investigate what those two beastly sons of yours have been up to.”

”Fine.” Old Mrs. An nodded. ”I’ll return to Xiangcheng to investigate right away.”

Old Mrs. An also knew that if she continued to stay, it would only become more awkward. It was better to return to Xiangcheng first, to prevent the misunderstanding between them from deepening.

Mrs. Lin said worriedly, ”Old Mrs. An, you’ve just endured a long journey to get to Beijing. If you rush back to Xiangcheng right away, your body won’t be able to take it. You’re not young anymore.”

”It’s nothing,” Old Mrs. An said, waving her hand.

Mr. Gong frowned. ”Enough. You’re at an advanced age yourself. Just stay here for one night. If you must go back, buy a ticket for tomorrow.”

Old Mrs. An looked at Mr. Gong and breathed a small sigh of relief. ”Then I thank you, Cousin.”

”Hmph.” Mr. Gong grunted and said nothing more to her. He then turned to An Zhihan. ”Get plenty of rest for the next couple of days. I’ll start preparing the medicine. The treatment process will likely be painful, so you need to be well-rested.”

An Zhihan nodded. ”I know. Thank you for your trouble, Granduncle.”

Su Qing had delivered the herb and received the final payment, so she prepared to take her leave. ”Well, I’ll be heading back now. I’ll come by again in a few days.”

”Alright, you can head back,” Mr. Gong said after a moment’s thought. ”Also, Su, in a few days, bring the other medicinal herbs you have for this old man to see. I’ll be busy preparing Zhi Han’s medicine for the next few days.”

Su Qing smiled. ”Alright, no problem. I’ll come over in a few days.”

An Zhihan quickly said, ”I’ll see you out.”

Su Qing nodded. ”Okay.”

Old Mrs. An’s expression darkened. She felt excluded, and a wave of sadness washed over her.

Watching Su Qing and An Zhihan leave the main hall, Mr. Gong said to Old Mrs. An, ”You should go rest in your room too. That boy, Zhi Han, has suffered these past few years. Don’t add to his misery. It’s not my place to say, but you... how could you be so clueless?”

”Then, Cousin, I’ll go to my room now.” Old Mrs. An didn’t argue. She took Mrs. Lin to a guest room. She had also brought a few bodyguards with her to Beijing, who were also settled in guest rooms. Fortunately, the courtyard house had enough rooms for everyone.

Back in the guest room, a weary Old Mrs. An asked Mrs. Lin, ”Mrs. Lin, have I completely broken that boy Zhi Han’s heart?”

Mrs. Lin comforted her, ”Old Mrs. An, you were only doing it for the good of the An Family. The Young Master will eventually understand your good intentions.”

”I can only hope so,” Old Mrs. An sighed.

Meanwhile, after leaving Mr. Gong’s place, Su Qing headed straight for her courtyard home in Xilin Alley. Coincidentally, the place where Tian Qiu lived was not far from Xilin Alley. It was just within a three-kilometer radius of her courtyard, placing it inside Su Qing’s Domain. This would make her next move much more convenient.

Su Qing returned to her courtyard in Xilin Alley. The place was clean and tidy. Although Su Qing hadn’t been living here recently, Li Wan would come by every week or two to help clean up the yard. The bedding in the room was also neat, ready for her to stay at any time.

Su Qing had already told her family she would be staying in Xilin Alley for a few days, so on her way over, she had also stopped by a grocery store to buy some meat and vegetables.

Sitting on the bed in her room, Su Qing began to search, bit by bit, for the courtyard where Tian Qiu lived: Number 77, Shuangqing Alley.

Following the house numbers along the alley through the perspective of the plants, Su Qing searched from one house to the next. She was surprised to discover that the location was a two-section courtyard house. Inside, it was filled with numerous antique decorations—not just out in the open, but also in the house’s basement, which was packed with many more antiques.

However, the courtyard was currently empty.

Su Qing frowned slightly. ’This Tian Qiu has so many antiques in his possession.’ Although Su Qing wasn’t an expert at appraising them, her intuition told her they were all real. As for where they came from, Su Qing naturally had her own suspicions.

Having pinpointed the courtyard’s location and seeing that no one was there, Su Qing decided to check on the ivy vine branch she had previously placed on the tall guy.

Following the trail of the green mist’s aura, Su Qing made her way over. But as she walked, she couldn’t help but look at her surroundings and then at the direction the green mist was pointing, feeling a little puzzled.

Good grief!

’Did it lead me to the city police headquarters?’

’Don’t tell me that tall guy committed a crime? Is that why the police ’invited’ him to the station for a cup of tea?’

Remembering the tall guy’s warning to her, Su Qing pursed her lips. ’Maybe he really is tangled up in something.’

Su Qing was curious. ’What had this tall guy gotten involved in? Why was he at the city police headquarters? And who is it that wants to target me? What is their relationship with this tall guy?’

Following the aura, Su Qing heard a burst of crying and shouting from inside before she even stepped into the police station.
