116 Chapter 116 Coming Here
At this thought, he grabbed Miss Qiaoâs arm and pulled her out. He pointed at the things on the table and said, âTell me, whatâs going on?â
âFather, be gentler. It hurts.â Miss Qiao pouted.
âTell me, or Iâll strangle you to death, so you donât embarrass me.â After Elder Qiao finished speaking, he clutched her vital spot in anger.
At the same time, his eyes were red, his nostrils were enlarged, and his hair was almost standing up.
Seeing his fierce look, Miss Qiao was so scared that she didnât dare move or speak.
Seeing this, Elder Qiao felt helpless and infuriated. He threw her onto the bed and said, âI thought you were still young and wanted to stay for two more years, but it seems like I canât.
âFrom today on, you can embroider your dowry in your room. Father will help you find a good family to marry into as soon as possible.â
After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
When Miss Qiao heard this, she was stunned momentarily and immediately chased after him. âFather, donât. I donât want to get married.â
However, this time, Elder Qiao did not pay any attention to her. Instead, he walked faster.
When he came out, he looked at Qiao Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground. He said, âWatch carefully this time. If you make another mistake, Iâll take your life.â
âYes, Master. Iâll definitely look after the young miss.â Qiao Yuan quickly nodded.
After Elder Qiao left, he immediately called two of his brothers to the small courtyard to put away any ladder, high stool, rope, and other things that could be used for climbing.
He also instructed Yu âer to keep her knives, scissors, and other things in case of emergencies.
While this was happening, Qiao Mu personally led more than ten skilled servants to Shanghe village in order to atone for his sonâs sins.
However, what he didnât see was that one of them quietly left the line after they went out. When the person was near the dock, he turned to find Manage Liu and told him about the matter.
âDoctor Guâs house? Are you sure? Our people from the restaurant went there every day to pick up goods, but they didnât see General Zhou. â Manager Liu looked at the man in shock. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIâm not sure, but it looks like it should be the deal.
âAs for the fact that we didnât see him, it could also be that General Zhouâs injuries are too severe, and he simply canât go out. Or rather, he doesnât dare go out. You have to make a decision quickly,â the man urged. âOtherwise, itâll be really dangerous if they get there first. â
Manager Liu finally nodded and went to a small courtyard not far away to call for more than ten people. The group of people set off at top speed after covering their faces.
Finally, they met near Xiahe village. After the two parties fought for a short while, Qiao Mu and his party were knocked down to the ground.
âTake them to the manor and lock them up,â Manager Liu said. âInterrogate them properly, especially since Qiao Mu knows a lot.â
âYes.â One of them responded and then escorted Qiao Muâs group to a manor outside the town. They detained them in the dungeon and started interrogating them.
On the other hand, Manager Liu brought two men with him and sneaked into Shanghe Village to find the Gu couple.
As soon as they got close to Er Zhuang, he started barking. This woke up the three people in the house.
When Zhou Ying woke up, she gave Gu Chengrui a bottle of pepper spray and said, âRui, try not to open the door before asking clearly who it is.â
âI know. You should get up as well. If something goes wrong, hide Brother Zhou well.â After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he quickly put on his clothes and coat before leaving.
At the same time, Zhou Ying also quickly got up and prepared a small bag of knockout powder. If their visitors came with bad intentions, she would knock Young Master Zhou unconscious and put him in her interspace.
After she was done with her preparations, she stood guard at the west wing door and waited for Gu Chengruiâs signal.
Young Master Zhou, who was in the west room, also slowly put on his clothes. If the people out there really came with ill intentions, he would escape to avoid bringing a fatal disaster to the couple.
