Chapter 618 I Am Enough

Master Du said irritably, "One of you will take care of your wife, and the other will take care of my mother. All of you stay at the Lu family and wait for news!"

When they left, they even left a few disciples to the Lu family as guards.

They were grateful that Hu Xin'er could help Miss Du clean up the dirty water on her body, but now that Miss Du had been abducted, they really didn't have the energy to say any polite words.

It was almost dusk, and the light seemed to dim in an instant. Hu Xin'er shivered in the wind and tightly grasped Mu Qing's hand: "Husband, I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy!"

Mu Qing comforted her, "Don't worry. The Du and Zhou families have been evenly matched for many years, and neither can do anything to the other. You're also aware of Mr. Du's temper. This time, he'll definitely be able to protect Miss Du."

"But...what was Miss Zhou's purpose in kidnapping Miss Du?" Hu Xin'er worried. "It seems we've been overlooking a crucial point—why exactly is Miss Zhou targeting Miss Du?"

If she wanted to create a reputation of innocence, she could just do good deeds instead of inciting the crowd to surround the Du family at every specific time.

If it was just simple jealousy between women, why would she force Miss Du to death?

If it was a fight between the two families, shouldn't Miss Zhou directly attack Mr. Du and the others?

"Now, after Miss Du's collision with the wall, they've kidnapped her. All the clues point directly to the Zhou family. This is not a good move for the Zhou family at all." Hu Xin'er's mind grew increasingly confused as she pondered the matter. "If I were the Zhou family... under what circumstances would I make such an inappropriate move? Don't you think they're being too hasty?"

Too hasty… A vague clue seemed to emerge in Mu Qing's mind, but it was elusive. "Miss Zhou has been dormant for three years. With her intelligence and cleverness, she would never ruin her reputation because of such a small matter. Unless her actions over the years are all for the purpose of achieving something."

At this point, the three of them were shocked.

Hu Xin'er quickly added, "And she must know that there's a traitor in our family, otherwise that shadow wouldn't have appeared so coincidentally."

Lu Yunjue said coldly, "She must have been plotting this for years, and she's even colluding with the traitor in our family!"

The truth of the matter seems to have been revealed, but it is still unclear.

Lu Yunjue suddenly walked out: "It was my negligence that led to her being kidnapped. I must go help the Du family."

But at this moment, there was a hurried knock on the door.

"Sister God of Wealth, brother-in-law, help!" Familiar ghost howls were heard outside the door.

"Zhao Si?" Hu Xiner frowned. Why did Zhao Si come to their house at this time?

She stopped Lu Yunjue from opening the door, looked out through the crack, and quickly opened the door after confirming that there was no one outside except Zhao Si.

Zhao Si was in a state of panic, his face filled with embarrassment. "Oh no, Sister Caishen, I just got news that the Zhou family has colluded with Prefect Shen and they're going to arrest me soon!"

"Why did they arrest you?" Hu Xin'er was full of questions. "Hasn't the matter with the shop been resolved? Besides, the Zhou family should be busy fighting the Du family right now, so how could they care about you?"

Zhao Si said with a sad face, "Anyway, if the news is true, please, Sister God of Wealth, take me in and don't hand me over. If it's false, then thank God for that!"

He took advantage of Hu Xin'er's inattention and went straight in, but Mu Qing grabbed him with one hand.

Hu Xin'er simply closed the door: "I don't have time to argue with you about this matter now. Miss Du has been captured by the Zhou family. We are busy now."

"What?" Zhao Si was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "The Zhou family arrested Miss Du..."

He stopped talking midway.

Hu Xin'er frowned: "Why do you look like that? Do you know something about this?"

Zhao Si waved his hands helplessly: "No, no, I don't know anything!"

On the other side, the master of the Du family came to the door of the Zhou family with a large group of disciples.

"Don't say anything else, just break down the door!" Master Du gave an order, and the disciples picked up their weapons and smashed down the door.

Hu Lao San shouted to the surrounding people who were unaware of the truth: "Today, my young lady was kidnapped by thieves. All clues point to the Zhou family. All outsiders, please get out of here!"

The sound of the wood hitting the door was so terrifying that it almost broke the darkness of the night. Seeing that the Du family seemed to be really angry, the people had no mood to watch the fun and closed their doors and windows.

Although fighting is prohibited in Qingzhou City, the Zhou and Du families are the most special. Now even the yamen runners on the street dare not appear at will.

"Brother Zhou, what should we do now?" Inside the door, the Zhou family's disciples also gathered together, holding the door tightly.

Zhou Chenghe, who had been guarding the door, heard the commotion outside and said in a deep voice, "Even if it costs you your life, you must guard this door for me! I'll go and inform the young lady now."

"By the time you came to pass on the message, the people outside had already broken down the door." A clear and pleasant voice sounded, and Miss Zhou walked slowly over with the support of the servants.

She glanced outside: "I didn't expect them to come so quickly..." They were indeed a group of reckless men.

"Miss, what should we do now?" Zhou Chenghe frowned. The Zhou and Du families must not really go to war with each other.

These two families are the largest underworld forces in the local area, with wide-ranging ties. Once a real fight breaks out, even the government forces behind them might be dragged into it.

By then, at best your reputation will be ruined, and at worst you will not have a good end.

In his heart, he also felt a little resentful towards Miss Zhou.

It's just a matter of changing the face. Why not just find a beautiful maid?

However, after the Miraculous Medicine Conference three years ago, Miss Zhou just couldn't stand Miss Du and insisted on looking at Miss Du's face.

And now, she is easily seduced by male beauty and chooses the most inappropriate time to take action.

After hearing his question, Zhou Qingyan didn't even raise an eyebrow: "Open the door."

"What?" Zhou Chenghe couldn't believe his ears, "Miss, if they break in after we open the door, then we..." It would be over!

Not to mention that there is a Miss Du hiding in the mansion now, even under normal circumstances, the Zhou family is not a place that others can check at will!

I don’t know how many filthy things are stored in here, all waiting to see the light of day and wash away the blood feud!

Zhou Qingyan chuckled and said, "I am enough to deal with those reckless men."
