Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
How could the Imperial City government let their target escape?
The eldest son of the Zhou family only took two steps back before he was pressed to the ground by the guards who rushed forward. Soon, he was tied up and thrown into a pile with Sr. Zhou and the others in the courtyard.
“No, you can’t arrest them…”
Seeing that their men were about to be taken away, the women from the Zhou family panicked and pounced forward to stop them. However, before they could approach, they were thrown aside by the guards like sandbags.
“Heavens!”
Old Madam Wan wailed anxiously, but it didn’t help the situation at all. Constable Wang, who had heard the commotion and rushed over to check on the situation, couldn’t help but remind her sternly. Then, she turned around and pounced over to grab Yuan Niang’s skirt.
“Miss, please show mercy. We were wrong. We won’t dare to do it again!
“I’ll tell you now. I’ll tell you where that girl is now. Please be magnanimous and spare them!”
Old Madam Wan cried. She never expected that such a small matter like disciplining her biological daughter would cause such a huge disaster!
“This really has nothing to do with me. I don’t know anything. It was my eldest brother. Yes, my eldest brother and second brother discussed it with that person at the casino!
1 was locked in the woodshed and didn’t hear anything!
1 only knew that as long as we handed our sister over, we could settle our debt!
But I really didn’t know who that person was!”
The Zhou family’s third son was so frightened that he peed his pants and cried like a child.
“The person who asked you guys to kidnap Song Zhou was someone you met in the casino?”
Seeing that someone from the Zhou family finally revealed the truth, Yuan Niang finally turned around and sized up the Zhou family’s third son.
“Yes, uh, no, urn…”
The Zhou family’s third son stammered, but before he could finish, the guard standing beside him raised his leg and kicked him as he scolded fiercely, “Spill the beans!
If you still dare to play tricks, we’ll teach you a lesson!”
“We’ve never seen that person before!
Du Mazi, who was in charge of the casino, introduced him to us.
“Besides, we didn’t see what he looked like. That person was wearing a mask, so we couldn’t see his face clearly!”
Seeing that the Zhou family’s third son had revealed the matter, the second son of the Zhou family squeezed over impatiently. Afraid that he would be taken away because of his lack of cooperation, he hurriedly explained to Yuan Niang and the others as well. 𝑏𝘦𝑑𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝘰𝘮
“That person came over and said that as long as we do as he says, not only can he help us settle our debt with the casino, but he can also give us ten taels of silver each.
Therefore, we agreed.”
Actually, they did have suspicions at the beginning.
However, their hesitation wasn’t because they were worried about Song Zhou, but because they were afraid that he would go back on his word after they cooperated.
After all, according to what they knew, Song Zhou was just an ordinary woman. How could she be worth the other party spending so much money to capture her?
The other party paid for their IOU with the casino in front of them.
With such obvious benefits, how could they hesitate?
Therefore, they agreed without hesitation.
“Then, did that person tell you why he wanted to capture your sister?”
Seeing that these useless men pushed their sister into danger but didn’t seem to feel guilty at all, Yuan Niang clenched her fists and resisted the urge to kick them.
“No, we didn’t dare to ask!”
When the Zhou family’s second son met Yuan Niang’s murderous gaze, he quickly dodged and shrank behind his brother. Then, he swallowed hard before continuing, “No, but we have no choice!”
Actually, the Zhou family’s second son really didn’t think that there was anything wrong with their actions.
If there was anyone to blame, it was his insensible sister!
If she had given them the money earlier, wouldn’t they have paid off their debts with the casino long ago?
Naturally, they wouldn’t have encountered that man in black.
“Bring them back first!” Seeing that she couldn’t get anything out of these Zhou family members, Bai Guo couldn’t be bothered to waste her breath on them.
Such scumbags had to pay the price for their actions!
“Stop crying. This matter involves too many things, so if you continue to pester us, don’t blame us for taking you guys away as well!”
The guard in charge of escorting the Zhou family’s men wasn’t so good-tempered. Seeing that Old Madam Wan and the others were still trying to cause trouble, he pulled out the long saber at his waist and pointed at them as he scolded them. Then, he quickly left with his men.
After obtaining the information they wanted, Yuan Niang didn’t stay any longer. She brought the oldest daughter and Bai Guo back to the carriage under Su Le’s protection.
Old Madam Wan only reacted after the eldest daughter left. She cried as she grabbed the eldest daughter, but she was no longer able to approach Lin Suisui’s carriage.
“Get Su Le to send someone to the casino quickly.” After hearing Bai Guo’s report, Lin Suisui instructed decisively, “Didn’t they say that the reason the Zhou family’s brothers met that man in black was because of Du Mazi’s introduction?
Then get someone to investigate from Du Mazi. No matter what, this matter has to be investigated.
For some reason, I feel that this matter is not as simple as we think.”
“I noticed it too.
Song Zhou was just an ordinary woman and the Song family wasn’t particularly wealthy.
However, the man in black was willing to pay several times more than the Song family’s assets in order to get the Zhou family to cooperate with him.
This is unusual in itself!”
“No matter what, at least we have a clue.”
Lin Suisui sighed softly and turned to look at the three sisters, who were huddled together with worried expressions. She rubbed the eldest daughter’s head before coaxing her gently, “Don’t worry.
1’11 definitely think of a way to find your mother and try my best to bring her back.”
“But what if something happens to my mother?” The second child, who was sitting beside the eldest daughter, pursed her lips and couldn’t help but say, “Will we be sent to the Zhou family and be raised by those people from the Zhou family from now on?”
