Chapter 625 Big Shot

After Lu Yunjue left, the couple was always worried and didn't dare to sleep, for fear that something might happen to him.

Fortunately, when the morning light rose, he finally returned home exhausted.

"How's the situation? Why did you take so long?" Mu Qing usually doesn't like to show his emotions, but at this moment he couldn't help showing his worry.

Lu Yunjue said in a hoarse voice: "Don't worry, brother. I just encountered some minor troubles when I left. It took me some time to shake off those pursuers."

"Still haven't found Miss Du?" Hu Xiner asked cautiously, and brought him a glass of water.

Lu Yunjue gave her a grateful look and drank the water in the cup. "Although I didn't find Miss Du when I went in, I destroyed their medicinal materials. I guess the face-changing will be delayed."

"That's good." The couple breathed a sigh of relief.

Miss Zhou probably would never have imagined that there was someone in Qingzhou City who knew about face-changing and could precisely destroy the medicinal herbs she needed.

The destruction of medicinal materials is no small matter.

But after a short moment of relaxation, Mu Qing's expression returned to deep thought. "What medicine did you destroy? The Zhou family is wealthy and powerful, and their business is shady. They must have many connections, and perhaps they can find a replacement."

"Don't worry, brother. Although I can't recognize all the herbs needed for face-changing, I can recognize a few important ones. Those medicines are kept in the pharmacy. I destroyed many boxes in one breath, so I was chased all the way." Lu Yunjue's tone was light when he explained this, but the couple could not hide the thrill of it.

"You've risked your life for Miss Du," Hu Xin'er sighed. "What should we do next?"

Lu Yunjue didn't answer the first half of his question. Instead, he said, "Although the medicinal materials have been destroyed, there's no guarantee that the Zhou family won't have other means. What if they're desperate enough to kill us directly... So we still have to rescue Miss Du as soon as possible."

This statement received unanimous approval from everyone.

However, right now, the Du family and Zhao Si are both imprisoned, Lu's mother is still in a coma and needs someone to take care of her, and the traitor in the family is making people uneasy.

Could they really rescue Miss Du with just a few of them?

What they didn't know was that while they were discussing, someone had tracked them all the way to the Lu family's door with a sinister look on his face.

"Senior brother, what should we do? The thief who sneaked into our house seems to be a member of the Lu family!" The man in black asked in a low voice.

Zhou Chenghe waved his hand: "Even if the king of heaven comes and ruins Miss's plan, he will be killed."

But when his men were about to climb over the wall, he hesitated again: "Come back, let's go visit Prefect Shen!"

Now that the second son of the Lu family has bewitched the young lady, if he acts rashly, not only might he not get the young lady's reward, but he might also get himself into trouble. It would be better to divert the trouble away and let Prefect Shen solve the matter.

Anyway, this was not the first or second time that Prefect Shen did such a thing last night.

The two men exchanged a glance and said, "Brother, you are wise. A small thief is already troublesome enough. If the two young masters of the Lu family work together, it will be even more difficult to deal with. It would be better to use the power of the government to arrest them and put them in jail until the young lady succeeds!"

"Yes, yes, Senior Brother is truly wise and powerful. We are far behind him."

Zhou Chenghe never thought that his actions would be interpreted as being afraid of the two young masters of the Lu family. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he wanted to scold these two idiots, but it was almost too late.

The three of them did not go through the main gate, but climbed over the eaves and walls to get to the room of Prefect Shen, and quietly woke him up.

Prefect Shen was frightened by these men in black and broke out in a cold sweat. After hearing their intentions, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said softly, "Since Lord Chu has come to my house, you must be extra careful in the future. It is best not to enter and leave my house casually. Instead, use code words to communicate."

Zhou Chenghe nodded indifferently. Although he had a cooperative relationship with Prefect Shen, he still looked down on this dog official who had no martial arts skills.

After thinking carefully, Chen Yunzhou said, "Since it was the Lu family who started the trouble, then they won't be able to give Lord Chu an excuse. Go back and change your clothes immediately, and then come to my house to complain."

Zhou Chenghe felt that this was very troublesome. Usually, after hearing what they said, Prefect Shen would set off immediately without any hesitation.

But ever since Lord Chu came, Prefect Shen has become particularly timid, and Miss Zhou is pressing him hard.

Zhou Chenghe was caught in the middle and was neither a good person nor a bad person.

He had to understand Miss Zhou's eagerness to find a cheap lover, and he also had to understand that only when Lord Chu came could they easily control the Du family.

As long as we can deceive Lord Chu, this is the best time to change faces.

Unexpectedly, another member of the Lu family showed up on the way and destroyed the medicinal materials they had prepared.

Fortunately, the Zhou family had been planning for this day for many years, and they still had a spare supply of those medicinal herbs, which just needed to be re-prepared before they could be used as medicine.

Before leaving, Prefect Shen stopped them again: "I wonder when Miss Zhou's matter will be resolved? I heard from Lord Chu that another important figure will be coming, so we must resolve this matter quickly and do it well. We must not let anyone get hold of anything!"

Otherwise, his cinnabar hat and the Zhou family’s lives would be in danger.

Zhou Chenghe saw that his expression was very serious and understood the critical situation. He nodded and said, "I will tell my young lady as soon as possible."

The three members of the Lu family didn't know that Lu Yunjue had already revealed his whereabouts, and the Zhou family was about to extend their evil hands to them.

Since they didn't sleep much the previous night, the three of them were a little dazed, so they decided to catch up on some sleep before discussing other things.

Lu Yunjue naturally couldn't sleep because he was worried about Miss Du's safety, but he was already poisoned and his energy was worse than before.

Seeing this, Mu Qing knocked him unconscious with a palm strike.

Unexpectedly, not long after she lay down on the bed, she heard hurried footsteps at the door, and the maidservant shouted outside, "Young Master and Young Madam, something bad has happened! A large group of soldiers have arrived, saying they are here to arrest us!"

"What?" Hu Xin'er woke up with a start, her face exhausted. "Didn't Lord Shen pretend to let me go yesterday? Why is he here again now?"

The maidservant said anxiously, "I don't know either, and they are accompanied by the Zhou family's group of living devils! Master, please come out and take a look, otherwise they will just barge in!"

The couple had no choice but to get up and go to the door.
