Chapter 56 - Was Gu Shao heading over to Zhang Qiang's place? (2)
When Gu Shao was making threats and lies seriously, he looked exactly like Lin Xi when she was bluffing Zhang Qiang.
"You have a son studying at an university in City A, right? And he's graduating this year? It seemed he had secured a job as well. I'm afraid he'd lose his job when they found out that his parents have criminal records."
Hearing that Gu Shao even knew about their son, Zhang Youfu's wife collapsed onto the floor.
Gu Shao went on to say, "This is me trying to reason with you right now. If you don't want to be reasonable, I am not above taking other actions."
Even without any expressions, Gu Shao's aura was enough to intimidate others.
Her only son was the center of her universe. He had worked hard and perhaps would even have a future like that of Zhang Cui's daughter and then she would be able to enjoy good times in the city. She wasn't going to let this threaten that.
Zhang Youfu's wife was frantic now. "No, don't, don't sue us. This was all Zhang Cui. We just thought we are helping a relative out. We don't know anything about this."
"Exactly, if you want to transfer the child's household register out then go right ahead. We aren't going to stop you... ..."
Seeing how Zhang Youfu and his family were panicking in front of them, Lin Xi turned to look at Gu Shao. She suddenly felt that he had became much bigger and taller. It looked like she had a lot of room for improvement on the path of bluffing.
Now that Zhang Youfu and his family were willing to cooperate, Gu Shao had no reason to give them a hard time. He had Wang Wu brought with him members of this family along with their household registers over to the police station in the village to transfer Lin Xi's household register out.
Zhang Youfu was still begging Gu Shao on his way out to not press charges for kidnapping.

Wang Wu was very efficient and he was able to quickly get the printout confirming that Lin Xi's household register had been transferred out.
When all was done, Gu Shao and Lin Xi took off.
Lin Xi hadn't expected that what she thought was a very sticky situation would be handled so simply and smoothly by her father.
After the father and daughter had departed, the crowd who had scattered gathered again.
"What was that anyway? That aura was scary as heck."
"Who knows. I think I heard Zhang Youfu's wife crying inside. Do you think Zhang Cui and her family were in trouble in the city?"
"Who knows. We should go."
Outside of Zhang Youfu's house that was bustling just a while ago went quiet all of a sudden.
***
On this end, after departing from Zhang Youfu's house, the chauffeur pulled over next to a playground near the entrance of the village.
"Is this good, Sir?"
"Yes," said Gu Shao. Then, looking at Lin Xi, he said to her, "Wait for me in the car."
Upon hearing that, Lin Xi looked baffled, "What else do you need to take care of, Dad?" Did he forget something at Zhang Youfu's?
Lin Xi looked left and right. That did not appear to be the case.
Gu Shao did not elaborate. He merely added, "You can go walk around if you are bored but don't to too far. I will be back shortly."
"Can I come with you?" Lin Xi was about to get out of the car.
"Be good."
"... ..."
Lin Xi filled in the second part of what Gu Shao was saying, "If you are not a good girl then I don't want you anymore. I will leave you here." As such, Lin Xi curled up inside the side.
Watching Gu Shao as he got into the other car and the car took off in the direction of the village, Lin Xi frowned deeply.
Suddenly, an idea occurred to her. Was Gu Shao heading over to Zhang Qiang's place?
