Chapter 1265: Chapter 720: He Cherishes His Reputation_2

Brother Shan signaled with his eyes to the bald man.

The bald man definitely saw it, but now he was in a dilemma.

Actually, when he heard the woman’s words, how could he not be scared? It would be strange if he wasn’t.

After all, he was indeed a person who feared death, there was no way he could be fearless.

He was already thinking of ways to get down from this ladder.

Just then, the woman’s tone firmed up a bit.

"I won’t keep you waiting too long, because at the beginning, I got along too well with my husband and other men."

"They all started to meet with mysterious deaths within ten or fifteen days, so you just need to take care of me for ten or fifteen days."

"After I go to the U.S., I will get in touch with you, and then we can meet somewhere, and I will take your child back."

Upon hearing this, the people around became even more surprised.

Ten or fifteen days?

They had just heard that the woman was a jinx.

They hadn’t heard the woman specify a time, and now hearing it, they were truly shocked.

And even a bit scared.

Who would have thought someone could be hexed to death in such a short time?

If it went on without interruption, who knows how many people had been hexed to death.

It was really too terrifying.

The people around slowly took a few steps back.

They had already put quite a distance between themselves and the woman.

The bald man still stood in his original spot.

He couldn’t take a step back now, or it would show his fear, he had to remain calm and not show any signs of unrest.

A moment later, the woman, fearing that Qin Yuan wouldn’t agree, slowly continued.

"My daughter is very well-behaved, and besides, you have helped us a lot, so my daughter has a good impression of you."

"She won’t be scared of your care and might even be happy to have you looking after her, considering she’s been afraid all this time."

"So please, you must help me, I really took the wrong road, and besides asking for your help, I really don’t know who else to turn to."

Qin Yuan’s expression remained calm.

He was not only watching the woman but also observing the bald man’s expression.

The bald man showed little on his face.

One could only say he hid his fear well.

But he was definitely scared.

He just hadn’t shown it.

Qin Yuan slowly shifted his gaze back to the woman.

The woman continued to speak.

"Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to take care of my daughter for nothing, I will definitely reward you, whatever it is you want," she said.

"You can mention it to me, and I’ll try my best to satisfy your wishes, considering my daughter is truly scared."

"I can’t always keep my daughter by my side, that’s not viable, so I’ll have to trouble you, okay?"

Qin Yuan suddenly burst into laughter.

He laughed insanely.

The people around didn’t know what he was laughing at.

So they all wore expressions of confusion on their faces.

Had this young man gone mad?

What was he laughing at?

Wasn’t the woman asking for his help? Why did he suddenly start laughing?

His laughter was way too maniacal.

As if there was something wrong with him.

Of course, they could only say this in their hearts.

Dare they say it out loud?

They didn’t have the guts.

After all, such comments could offend people.

Best to say less of those.

At this moment, the woman also showed a look of bewilderment on her face.

"What are you laughing at? May I know what you are laughing at? Your sudden laughter is really incomprehensible to me, and I’m very perplexed," she said.

"Also, why would you suddenly start to laugh? Do you think what I said is too much, or do you think I am being too fanciful?"

"But right now, I have no other choice but to ask for your help, I understand that it’s difficult for a man to take care of a child."

Having said that, the woman’s gaze dropped slightly.

Her whole demeanor turned much more disappointed.

In fact, the woman was indeed beautiful.

So, when she looked disappointed, she seemed extremely pitiful.

Just like a delicate little white flower.

So pitiable.

But Qin Yuan showed no sign of concern.

What kind of woman hadn’t he encountered?

How could he possibly feel pity for someone after just a few words?

Such things would never happen to him.

The woman began to ramble again.

"But my daughter will be very well-behaved, she won’t be any trouble to you, so could you please do me this favor?"

"If you do this for me, I’ll be very grateful, you can ask me to do anything, I’d even be willing to work like an ox or a horse for you."

"I’m really sorry to trouble you, just please help me."

The woman was utterly humble from beginning to end.

Constantly pleading for Qin Yuan’s help.

But Qin Yuan remained silent throughout.

The bald man couldn’t just keep quiet the whole time.

So he said with a sarcastic tone.

"Are you stupid or something? Why would you ask this brat to take care of your daughter? Is he going to help you? He hasn’t even said a word."

"Isn’t his attitude clear enough? Can’t you take a hint? I really didn’t know you were so clueless."

"He’s already shown his stance, so don’t keep bothering him here. Haven’t I told you already? Just as long as you go with me."

The woman immediately shook her head.

The bald man let out a cold laugh.

But he didn’t pay any attention to the woman’s gesture and immediately continued his previous point.

"I will take care of your daughter with you, I’ll treat her like my own child, even though she’s scared of me now."

"But after spending some time with me, she won’t be scared anymore, not only that, but she’ll also come to like me."

"Why are you looking at me with that look? Are you afraid I won’t keep my promise? I always keep my word."

He was just talking, as if he really wanted to keep a promise.

He certainly didn’t want to be ’cursed’ to death.

He really treasured his reputation.

It was all just for Ling Yu, to buy time.

Frankly, he had sacrificed quite a lot for Ling Yu.

A moment later, the bald man spoke up again.

"How could I possibly not keep my word? Do you want to trust me? Or are you going to keep doubting me?"

"Before you doubt me, think it through carefully, I don’t want to lose my temper with you again, I don’t like being angry with you all the time."

"I do want to treat you well. I’m generally an irritable person, but for your sake, I’m willing to suppress my temper now."

The crowd around was quite surprised.

So he likes her that much?

Moreover, this woman is trouble, yet he’s still so enamored.

It was truly astonishing to them.

Ever since they arrived here, they hadn’t been able to recover from their shock.

The woman remained silent all along.

But her eyes were fixed on Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan showed no reaction whatsoever.

The bald man began to ramble once more.

"You can’t be ignorant here; I hate it most when people don’t appreciate what I do. Once you show ingratitude—"

"Then I’m afraid I might do something drastic, like throwing you and your daughter into the sea to feed the sharks."

"I’ve mentioned this more than once, haven’t I? I’ve brought it up so many times, I must be intent on doing it."

Throw her into the sea to feed the sharks, again?

Can’t he think of something more original?

Why always say this to threaten her?

She had endured to the utmost.

If she had the ability, she really wanted to teach the bald man a lesson.

Of course, the woman was only thinking this in her mind, she didn’t dare to act on it.

The bald man looked down at the woman condescendingly again and said.

"If I did not want to do it, I wouldn’t mention it. You’d better weigh the credibility of my words!"

"Although I’m willing to be nicer to you, I can’t keep speaking to you gently forever, you need to be sensible."

"Don’t be too ignorant, understand? If you’re too ignorant, I’m afraid you won’t be standing here all fine and dandy!"

The bald man emphasized once more the threat of throwing the woman into the sea to feed the sharks.

A terrifying smile spread across his face.
