Chapter 609: No Face

Zhou Chenghe didn't even need to listen, he knew how the crowd would be in an uproar.

A disdainful smile flashed across his lips. What the young lady said was indeed right. The people were just a bunch of fools. They would blindly believe whoever spoke louder or told a more interesting and tortuous story.

In the corner of his eye, the Lu family's carriage sped up.

Seeing the Lu family rushing over, Zhou Chenghe not only didn't stop, but his face turned cold and he raised his arms high: "Today I will rid Qingzhou City of Zhao Si, this great scourge. Come, hold him down. I will slap him in the face for Miss Du first!"

Seeing Zhou Chenghe's tall figure approaching with a sneer and a palm-like palm-leaf fan, Zhao Si struggled like crazy: "No! Let me go, let me go, I didn't do such a thing, Zhou Chenghe, you will die a horrible death for framing an innocent person."

Who doesn't know that Zhou Chenghe is not only a martial arts expert, but also extremely vicious?

If this slap landed hard on Zhao Si's face, within three slaps, Zhao Si's face would be slapped into a pig's head, and he would faint.

At the critical moment, several stones flew into the air.

Zhou Chenghe dodged in time, but his palm was still scratched. He frowned and looked in the direction where the stone came from.

Only a clear and pleasant female voice was heard saying, "The matter is not yet clear, please show mercy, Master Zhou!"

Hu Xiner slowly got off the carriage with the help of Mu Qing. The stone just thrown was by Mu Qing.

When Zhao Si saw Hu Xin'er, he was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes: "Sister, my dear sister, you are finally here!"

His entire face was almost pressed to the ground, forcing him to turn his face to the side and speak unclearly. His little face, which was once considered to be very handsome, was now covered with mud and dust mixed with water marks stuck on his face. It was unclear whether it was sweat or tears caused by fear.

How embarrassing is this situation?

Zhou Chenghe narrowed his eyes slightly. "Oh, it's Mrs. Lu. What can I do for you?"

Hu Xin'er stepped forward and asked calmly, "Ever since opening this comic book shop, my brother has reformed and never transgressed the rules. I wonder how he offended Master Zhou to deserve such a lesson from him?"

Zhou Chenghe snorted coldly, "He's so audacious that he actually framed Miss Zhou and Miss Du at the same time. Madam Lu, shouldn't you protect such a person?"

"What evidence do you have to prove that he was the one who spread the rumor?" Hu Xiner looked at his self-righteous look and almost sneered.

Doesn't she know who spread the rumor?

Zhou Cheng and himself couldn't find the source, so they wanted to frame Zhao Si. Seeking justice for the two young ladies Zhou and Du was fake, and seeking revenge was the real purpose!

After what happened before, Hu Xiner also understood that the so-called master behind him was Miss Zhou. Miss Zhou must have been unhappy about the recent criticism, and she heard that Zhao Si was protected by the Du family, so she came here to find trouble?

Zhou Chenghe said calmly: "Come here, bring the witness over!"

What? There's a witness?

Since Hu Xiner knew who was behind the rumors, she remained calm in the face of Zhou Chenghe's harsh words.

She smiled coldly: "Mr. Zhou has really made all the preparations to frame a small merchant like Zhao Si."

Zhou Chenghe said with a forced smile: "The matter is still unclear. How did Madam Lu know that I was framing you? Do you have any clues about the mastermind behind this? Or -"

He glanced at Zhao Si and asked, "You knew your brother was doing something evil, but you deliberately covered it up?"

Zhao Si's heart went cold to the bone after being glared at like that. He didn't care that his face was still pressed to the ground, and he cried out in a whimper: "Sister, save me! I absolutely did not do such a thing. I earn so much money every month, I have nothing better to do than to harm the Zhou and Du families!"

Seeing him struggling on the ground, his face scratched by the sand and stones, Hu Xiner couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

What's more, even if Zhao Si has some minor flaws in his character, he is still her man and has never crossed her bottom line. If she doesn't protect her subordinates, who will?

At that moment, she looked at Zhou Chenghe without backing down: "Since Master Zhou has said that the matter is still unclear, can you please let my brother go first? Let's not talk about the matter itself or whether he is the mastermind. Even if he is, we can wait until it is confirmed before arresting him!"

Zhou Chenghe suddenly leaned closer, still wearing that indifferent smile: "What? Madam Lu is worried about her brother?"

Hu Xiner was startled when she saw his face was almost in front of her and quickly took a step back.

"What are you going to do?" Her eyes were full of vigilance and disgust.

Zhou Cheng's mouth full of yellow teeth and his fishy breath made her unable to help but cover her chest and dry heave twice.

Mu Qing's eyes glared. "It's fine if you, a lunatic, frame my brother-in-law, but you actually dare to offend my wife?"

He directly grabbed Zhou Chenghe's wrist, but Zhou Chenghe was not someone who could be easily dealt with.

Although Zhou Chenghe did not carry any weapons and was not in a position to use hidden weapons in public, he bent his left hand into the shape of an eagle's claw and attacked Mu Qing directly in the face.

And the target was Mu Qing's masked face!

His malicious intentions were obvious at first glance—why would an ordinary person wear a mask when going out? Since Mu Qing was wearing a mask, it meant that his face must be his weakness.

Sure enough, when he saw Zhou Chenghe attacking his face, Mu Qing immediately returned to defend. After he opened Zhou Chenghe's claws, he launched another attack. Unexpectedly, Zhou Chenghe did not appreciate it, but retreated quickly.

He had fought with Mu Qing last time and knew that he was no match for him, so he had no intention of fighting Mu Qing at all!

This action, however, caused the Zhou family disciples who came with him to look at him with awe. You know, Zhou Chenghe is one of the best martial artists among the younger generation in Qingzhou City.

Moreover, he is usually very arrogant and domineering. Whenever he attacks others, he always breaks their arms and legs.

But such a person actually retreated without fighting at this moment? Isn't that just slapping himself in the face?

Even the Zhou family's disciples acted like this, and the onlookers nearby were even more excited.

If what Zhou Chenghe said just now had some truth to it, then his frivolous actions just now were completely disgusting.

Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, how could it be justified to get so close to a woman in public?

No matter what era it is, there is only one word to describe this kind of behavior, that is: hooligan.

The scholars who had just rushed forward were still denouncing Zhao Si, but when they saw Zhou Chenghe's behavior, even though they had been dazzled by Miss Zhou's beauty and family background, they couldn't help but fall silent and feel ashamed.
