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! Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
“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...”
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?”
