Jade Without Fragrance

Green bricks and green tiles, flowers bloom by the path, their fragrance staining clothes; vermilion gates and purple halls, delicate hands pluck stars, making neon into garments.

Chapter 186 Salvation

Chapter 186 Salvation

The leader of the group was a square-faced woman who rushed to Baozhu and grabbed the middle-aged woman's hair: "Dare to touch our Baozhu, I will beat you to death, you evil woman!"

The old woman took the initiative and grabbed the woman's hair, slapping her more than ten times, making the woman dizzy and screaming.

The screams like a pig being slaughtered soon attracted the neighbors.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know. It looks like the man has a mistress outside, and the wife brought people to the house to beat him up."

"That's impossible. Although this couple doesn't usually interact with others, they look like a real couple to me. If they really want to keep someone outside, they have to keep someone good-looking."

The people who heard this looked at the burly woman and nodded repeatedly, "That's right."

At this time, the middle-aged man and the old woman were both under control. The little maid who had just been so delicate put her hands on her hips and said fiercely, "How dare you kidnap our girl's maid? Tell me, where did you hide her?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the discussion suddenly became louder.

"What, they're human traffickers?"

"Tsk tsk, I can't tell at all."

"I've long felt there's something wrong with this family. They usually keep the door closed and don't interact with anyone..."

The middle-aged man who was controlled looked very unhappy: "Who are you?"

Baozhu said with a spit, "How dare you ask that? Hand Xiaohua over quickly, or I'll make you pay!"

"Don't spit blood at us. We are honest and well-behaved people—"

The square-faced woman slapped the middle-aged man in the face: "Honest man! Our Xiaohua went to the street to buy rouge and powder for the girl, and someone saw you dragging her away and into this house. What are you still standing there for? Go inside and look for her!"

Except for the servants who controlled the three people, everyone else rushed to various houses.

The middle-aged woman was so frightened that she was about to bang her head against the wall: "Look at this, neighbors, just a few people can come and accuse people of a crime and break into people's homes, smash and rob them. Is there any law in this world? I don't want to live anymore—"

These words made the neighbors who were watching the fun hesitate.

Yes, these people are coming with such force, who knows if it’s true or not.

The square-faced woman looked calm and grabbed the woman's hair: "Why are you in such a hurry? If you can't find Xiaohua here, you can report it to the police."

The neighbors who were watching the excitement gave up the idea of helping to stop the people: Yes, there is no rush.

"Here!" A shout came from the kicked-open room.

Baozhu ran in like the wind.

The window of the small wing was sealed, so even though the sun was shining brightly outside, it couldn't get in. Several little girls huddled together, staring at the intruder with terrified faces.

Baozhu recognized Kou Wan at a glance.

Compared to the other three girls with disheveled hair and dirty clothes, Kou Wan was in much better condition.

Baozhu rushed over, hugged Kou Wan and started crying: "Xiaohua, I finally found you. I was so worried!"

Kou Wan, with her head held by Baozhu, was a little slow in thinking.

Little flower?

"The girl is still waiting for you outside, let's go." Baozhu pulled Kou Wan up and half dragged and half supported her out.

She suddenly fell into the hands of the kidnapper and suffered when she resisted. Even for a pampered lady like Kou Wan, her mind is still in a fuss. She was dragged outside by Baozhu in a daze. When she caught a glimpse of the middle-aged man's face in the sunlight, she screamed and tried to hide.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaohua. They can't hurt you." Baozhu raised one arm to shield Kou Wan's face and shouted as she walked out, "There are several little girls in there. Go and have a look!"

With her loose black hair covering her face and Baozhu intentionally blocking her view, the onlookers had no idea what the abducted girl looked like, and Kou Wan was taken away by Baozhu.

They had no choice but to cast their curious eyes towards the yard.

There was a carriage parked quietly on the roadside outside the alley, and Baozhu directly sent Kou Wan into the carriage.

As the car door curtain fell, the surroundings suddenly became dark. Kou Wan woke up as if from a dream, and was about to run out with a pale face.

"Miss Kou Er."

Kou Wan paused at the gentle call. She looked at the girl in the carriage and her eyes widened suddenly: "Lin Hao?"

Lin Hao smiled sweetly: "It's me."

"How could it be..." Kou Wan subconsciously moved closer, eyes full of disbelief, "Why are you here?"

Lin Hao's eyes turned slightly, and he smiled and said, "This is my carriage."

"I know, I mean - I mean -" Kou Wan was incoherent. Perhaps seeing Lin Hao made her realize that she was completely safe, and she suddenly broke down and cried.

The sobbing sound drifted from inside the car to outside, unrestrained.

Lin Hao didn't interrupt Kou Wan's outburst, but quietly told the driver to start the carriage. The carriage quickly carried them away from the troubled area and headed towards the general's mansion.

Kou Wan cried all the way until the carriage stopped.

"Where is this?" She looked around blankly with red and swollen eyes.

"I asked the coachman to pull the carriage directly into the backyard. Luoyingju is my residence." Lin Hao said as he brought Kou Wan into Luoyingju and ordered the maid to take her to bathe and change clothes.

Kou Wan followed the two maids to the bathroom in a daze. It was not until she immersed her whole body in the big bucket filled with hot water that she finally felt the reality.

She was really saved!

Lin Hao waited for half an hour, and Kou Wan, looking refreshed, was brought in by the maid.

At this point, Kou Wan finally calmed down and bowed deeply to Lin Hao with red eyes: "Second Miss Lin, I don't know how to thank you for your kindness. I, I don't know what to say..."

Lin Hao pulled her to sit down and said, "Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will help. Don't worry, Miss Kou Er. People outside will think that it's a maid from a wealthy family who got lost, and they won't think of you. I'll arrange a carriage to take you back home later, and the matter will be over..."

As for whether or not to confess what happened today to her family, it was Kou Wan's own decision.

As Kou Wan listened, she couldn't help but shed tears.

She knew that wasn't the case. Many people were too afraid of getting into trouble to bother with other matters. They were kind enough to tell the patrol officers about it. And Miss Lin Er not only personally led people to rescue her, but also made thoughtful arrangements to prevent her from being caught up in the rumors of a noble lady being abducted.

"Your dress is torn and can't be worn anymore. I've told the maid to quietly dispose of it." Lin Hao pointed at Kou Wan's dress. "I haven't worn this dress before. The color and style are similar to yours, so it shouldn't be noticeable. If someone really notices and asks about it, you can say it's a new dress I bought while shopping."

"I know, I know." Kou Wan nodded repeatedly, wishing she could hug Lin Hao and cry again.

She finally held back and asked doubtfully, "Second Miss Lin, how did you know I fell into the hands of the kidnapper?"

Seeing Lin Hao's hesitation, Kou Wan suddenly realized.

Miss Lin Er must have calculated it!
