This Side-effect Is Great - Chapter 21

Chapter 21 Something’s Wrong

Not only was Hao Jimeng stunned, but Hao Jiyong’s wife was also stunned seeing Hao Jiyong leave like this.

A smile appeared on Song Ankang’s face. “Even though he was a little stupid in the past, he did well this time. It’s said that he has the best business in the warehouse. He can take Liu Yuanqing’s place.’

“Hao Jiyong, you’re leaving just like that. Are you going to watch as Ningmen takes me away and kills me?”

Stunned for a moment, Hao Jimeng realized what had happened. He looked at Hao Jiyong in disbelief and shouted at him.

Hao ignored him and continued into the field yard, seemingly oblivious to his shouts

When the green-robed burly man from the Ningmen Guild saw this scene, he could not help but laugh sinisterly. “Hao Jimeng, it seems that your only hope is dashed. In that case, come with us.”

“It’s a total of 200 taels of silver, which is 200,000 copper coins. Even if I sell you, it won’t be worth that much. Therefore, I can only use it to make an example out of you. This way, it will still have some value.”

“Don’t kill me. Give me a few more days. I’ll persuade Hao Jiyong. You don’t want to lose so much money like this, right? Please give me a few more days. I’ll definitely persuade Hao Jiyong to agree to accept this gambling debt.” The meaning in the green-robed burly man’s words was clear, making Hao Jimeng tremble.

As soon as Hao Jimeng finished speaking, he heard Hao Jiyong’s rude voice in the distance. “Hao Jimeng, give up. I won’t help you this time.”

“Hao Jiyong, are you really going to leave me to my death?” Hao Jimeng no longer begged bitterly. His expression became ferocious, completely opposite to his attitude towards Ningmen Guild.

Hao Jiyong turned to stare at him. “Hao Jimeng, it’s not that I want to leave you to your death, but you’re courting death yourself. What’s the point of me agreeing? Other than implicating my family to die with you, I can’t pay this amount either.”

“So it’s better if you die alone!”

After enduring for so many years, Hao Jiyong could no longer hold it in. He decisively said that he wanted Hao Jimeng to die.

There was silence. Song Ankang glanced at Hao Jiyong in surprise, his evaluation of him rising another level.

Hao Jimeng was already stunned. He looked at Hao Jiyong in a daze and could not speak for a long time.

However, the green-robed man quickly came back to his senses and gave Hao Jiyong a thumbs up. “That’s right. Righteousness kills family. He’s a man. However, to be honest, there’s really no need to save a scumbag like Hao Jimeng. He won’t change in this lifetime.”

“Hao Jiyong, you actually want me dead. Then don’t blame me for being ruthless and exposing your true colors.”

Hao Jiyong screamed, his voice cracking. He had gone a little crazy after losing his last hope.

“Everyone in Chaoyun Manor, listen up. The precious herbs in your warehouse were stolen by Hao Jiyong. When I came to look for Hao Jiyong this morning, I heard him discussing with his woman about escaping Chaoyun Manor with that batch of herbs and living a good life elsewhere.”

“Arrest him immediately and torture him. He will definitely confess. At that time, you can take back the precious herbs that were lost in the storeroom.”

“Hao Jiyong, since you want me dead, don’t blame me for dragging you down with me. Neither of us will have an easy time!”

Hao Jimeng shouted at the tenants of Chaoyun Manor on the wall of the stockade, making some of them light up. However, most of the tenants could still tell that Hao Jimeng was spouting nonsense out of desperation and wanted to drag Hao Jiyong to die with him.

Such an ungrateful beast deserved to die!

Hao Jiyong’s expression changed drastically. He looked at Hao Jimeng and said sternly, “Hao Jimeng, I’ve been really blind all these years. I actually helped you time and time again, you shameless ingrate. In the future, you’re not my younger brother, and I’m not your elder brother. We’ll sever all ties.”

“Hahaha… I’m about to die. Do you think I care about this?” Hao Jimeng’s face was filled with despair. “Being born into a poor Hao family is the most unlucky thing in my life. If I was born into a rich family, 200 taels of silver would be nothing.” “Hao Jiyong, since you could help me so much in the past, why didn’t you help me this time? Do you think that if you help me, it will affect your family’s future? There are so many precious herbs. As long as you take out half of them, two hundred taels of silver is nothing. You’re too petty. Even if you don’t cut ties with me, I’ll cut ties with you…”

Seeing that Hao Jimeng had gone crazy, Song Ankang frowned and turned to walk towards the storeroom. “Looking at this kind of person polluting our eyes for no reason. Let’s go to the storeroom.”

“Alright.” Qiu Shi nodded repeatedly. Before she left, she couldn’t help but spit at Hao Jimeng. “I didn’t expect there to be such a beast-like person in this world. How can you say such shameless words? Hao Jiyong is too unlucky. If I had such a brother, I would have thrown him away long ago. To think that Hao Jiyong could endure it for so long.”

Jiang Yunhe smiled and said, “Miss Guo Guo, you’re just making a fuss out of nothing. There are many more things in this world that favor boys over girls. Not to mention a younger brother leaning on his older sister to suck blood, even as an elder brother, there are often people who eat their younger sister’s flesh and bones.”

“Instructor Jiang is right. As long as there is intelligent life, there will always be something unpleasant.” Song Ankang shook his head and quickened his pace.

Even in modern society, there were still many brother-supporting demons and brother-supporting demons, let alone in the ancient times where men were heavily favored over women.

Which city didn’t have a poor woman like Fan Shengmei?

Outside the stronghold wall, Hao Jimeng was still shouting crazily, wanting to drag Hao Jiyong’s entire family to death. Hao Jiyong was so angry that he could not help but curse. The remaining brotherhood in his heart completely disappeared. Today’s matter had taught him a solid lesson.

However, the more Hao Jimeng clamored, the more Song Ankang could prove Hao Jiyong’s innocence. Many tenants present could tell.

Soon, they arrived at the storeroom. This time, as soon as they stepped into it, Song Ankang felt his heart skip a beat. The strange feeling he had when he first entered the storeroom a few days ago had reappeared, making him inexplicably uncomfortable. However, after carefully searching the warehouse several times, he found nothing. There were no evil people hiding inside, nor were there any traces of demons and ghosts. However, what was that feeling?

Most importantly, this strange feeling contained a threat to his life. In other words, if he was not careful, Song Ankang’s life might be in danger here.
