Chapter 60 - 60 A Female Devil

60 A Female Devil

Su Binglan squatted before Lin Zheng and looked him dead in the eyes. “Let me guess. Your parents are very busy and strict with you. They also often neglect you, so you’re robbing people to get your parents’ attention.”

“In other words, you have brothers and sisters. Your parents also always compared you to your brother, so you became rebellious. But robbing people means you’ve given up on yourself, right?”

Su Binglan scanned Lin Zheng’s clothes and demeanor and felt his family was well off, so he did not need to rob people. Still, Lin Zheng felt the need to do such things, which could only mean he gave up on himself.

The two lackeys beside Lin Zheng looked at Su Binglan in disbelief. They said in shock, “How did she know that, boss? Does she know you? Will she tell your father about this?”

Lin Zheng shouted, “Shut up!”

The two lackeys dared not continue speaking.

Su Binglan nodded. “It looks like I hit the nail on the head. Don’t worry. I don’t know who you are. I was just guessing. I don’t care about what you’re going through, but since you’re in my hands now, you have to do something to appease my anger.”

The two lackeys asked, “W-What do you want our boss to do?”

They had underestimated Su Binglan and didn’t expect her to be so capable. Su Binglan didn’t look like a country girl at all.

Su Binglan replied, “The first thing I want you three to do is stop robbing people. You’re not allowed to do immoral things. Otherwise, I’ll break your legs. I suggest you do as I say if you want to avoid that.”

“Secondly, I will be your boss from now on. If I tell you to go east and you go west, I will suffocate you to death. If you disagree, I will keep Lin Zheng hostage while you two go to his family and ask for a ransom. I’m sure Lin Zheng’s life is worth at least ten thousand silver taels.”

Lin Zheng growled, “You dare speak such nonsense?!”

Su Binglan said lazily, “I’ve given you options. What you choose is up to you. Also, I don’t have time to waste. Hurry up and decide.”

Su Binglan picked up a thick tree branch from the side as she spoke and cracked it down the middle. Then she placed the branch under her foot and crushed it to pieces.

The trio shivered at that sight and knew Su Binglan wasn’t some weak-looking country girl. They thought Su Binglan was a devil in disguise.

The two lackeys were timid and cowered behind Lin Zheng.

“Let’s agree to her conditions, boss!”

“Boss, if your father finds out about this, he won’t let us off the hook either!”

The two lackeys dared not go to the Lin residence to ask for a ransom to save Lin Zheng.

Lin Zheng said through gritted teeth, “All right. We’ll agree to your conditions.”

Su Binglan raised her eyebrows and smirked. “That’s more like it. A wise man should submit to their circumstances. It would be reckless and foolish to show off blindly. All right, scram!”

“I want you three to wait for us where we set up our stall. You three will be helping my sister-in-law.”

The trio lowered their heads, looking listless.

However, Su Binglan didn’t care. She only held Liu Yinyin’s hand and walked away.

Liu Yinyin hadn’t recovered from her shock. ‘How is Binglan so strong?!’

Su Binglan looked at Liu Yinyin and said, “Are you wondering how I did all that, Sister-in-law?”

Liu Yinyin said lowly, “I know you have your reasons for doing things, Binglan. I think what you said was right. It will help them change their ways and straighten their paths.”
