Chapter 304 Maybe
After Xia Wanniang handed it over to them, she asked Qiu He to go to the private room upstairs: "Master Qiu, have your brothel and gambling house been completed?"
Qiu He nodded: "It's already done. I know you've been busy lately so I didn't come to see you."
Xia Wanniang raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "You are quite patient."
Qiu He took a sip of the tea in the covered bowl and said, "You know what, the tea in your theater tastes really good."
Xia Wanniang: "I'll bring some back to you later."
"Goodbye, I can't make tea this good if I make it myself. It's good enough to come here and have a cup occasionally." Qiu He put down the tea bowl: "Mrs. Xiao, you didn't come to drink tea with me today, did you?"
"I have quite a few things to ask you. First, have you found the person I asked you to find for me? Second, give me the keys to your gambling house and brothel so I can deliver your stuff to them. Third, find someone to help me deal with some of the shops I own. Fourth, you need to find a suitable successor as soon as possible."
Qiu He was stunned by his four things: "The person who helped you find it is now living at my place. I didn't let them find you when you had something to do before. I'll have someone bring you the key later."
He paused and asked, "Does the business you own belong to the Zhang family?"
Xia Wanniang: "Yes. Yixiu Pavilion, please help me sell it to Qing Heyi. As for the others, you can wait."
Qiu He: "Is it only the Yixiu Pavilion store?"
Xia Wanniang: "Yes. The others can wait a little longer. We have another person in the dark."
She suddenly thought of the person hiding in the dark. She didn't want to hand these things over to this person, so she planned to wait a little longer.
Qiu He nodded: "We should be cautious. We can still deal with other things later." He hesitated and asked: "What does successor mean?"
Xia Wanniang raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "Master Qiu, you don't just want to develop intelligence work in Luocheng!"
Qiu He frowned: "Are you planning to let me out?"
Xia Wanniang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. The tea she brewed now was indeed good: "These must be connected together. If something goes wrong with one of them, it will be very troublesome to investigate."
Qiu He did not answer directly, but just thought about another thing silently: "Mrs. Xiao, you should know that once some things are out of control, anything can happen."
Xia Wanniang curled her lips and looked at him: "So?"
"I need the medicine you give me. Although I trust them, it doesn't mean they won't betray us for other reasons." Qiu He lives in West City, and he knows human nature better than anyone else.
Xia Wanniang took out a few bottles from her bag and handed them to him: "This is not poison, it will be something more troublesome than poison."
Qiu He looked at the bottle in front of him: "What is it?"
"The poisonous insect. If they have any intention of betrayal, I'm afraid it will be heart-wrenching." She paused and said, "Of course, if they don't have any intention of betrayal, there's nothing to worry about. This thing will not harm them."
Qiu He's pupils shrank: "You won't use this on me too?"
Xia Wanniang looked at him with an evil smile on her face: "Master Qiu wants to betray us?"
Qiu He shook his head: "How is that possible?"
He was now covered in cold sweat: Fortunately, he never had the intention of betraying me, otherwise he would have died without knowing how.
Seeing him sweating, Xia Wanniang said, "Don't be so nervous, but you'd better let them eat it. Because it's not that I don't trust them, but the enemy is too cunning. In this game, if someone betrays us, we will all die miserably."
She paused and said, "I should say that you will die miserably. But I have means to save my life."
Qiu He sighed. He had no choice now. In fact, even if he had a choice, he would stand on their side, not for anything else, just for the people in West City.
Xia Wanniang is kind only when these people do not threaten her. Once these people threaten her and the people she cares about, she doesn't mind being a bad person.
Qiu He put away the bottles on the table: "Will they find out?"
Xia Wanniang shook her head gently: "It's colorless and tasteless, you can just put it in the wine. If they are willing to eat it, that would be the best, but I think there are very few people like that."
Qiu He looked at her and smiled: "Maybe there is." Then he poured a pill from the bottle and put it directly into his mouth.
