Meanwhile, Zu'an and Jiang Luofu chatted and laughed all the way to the prison to pick up the Qin family members, as well as the Murong family and other related families involved in the case.

After what happened today, who would dare to stop him from picking up people?

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the prison, they found that the Qin family and the Murong family were gone, and even Qin Wanru, Chu Huanzhao, and Murong Qinghe had disappeared without a trace.

Zu An's face darkened. Could there really be someone so fearless as to dare to touch them?

Perhaps because he had killed a lot of people tonight, he now felt a surge of violent rage within him, and seemed to urgently need to vent it.

Jiang Luofu was startled. A few days ago, she said that she had entrusted someone to take care of the Qin family and the Murong family, but then the people from the Prince of Dai and the Meng family went in and made such a mess of the Qin family. This time, she just said that she had entrusted someone to take care of them, but the person has been lost.

If something really happens, she'll be too ashamed to face anyone.

He hurriedly found the people he had left behind, only to learn that the Crown Princess herself had come and taken them away.

The man also felt wronged: "The Crown Princess came to take them away in person, so we didn't dare to stop her. Besides, she said she would release both families without charge and send them home, so we had even less reason to stop her."

Jiang Luofu breathed a sigh of relief, while Zu An's face also darkened: "Then there should be no problem. I'll go back to the Qin family to check first."

“Okay, I’ll go with you.” Jiang Luofu nodded, she needed to make sure those people were safe before she could truly feel at ease.

Zaun was quite welcoming, after all, having a long, black-stockinged woman with long legs along the way was definitely a pleasing sight.

Soon the two arrived at the Qin family home. Unlike the dilapidated and desolate place they visited last time, the Qin family home was now decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations from the outside in, and the air was filled with laughter and joy.

When the Qin family learned of his arrival, they all came out to greet him. Although the two Qin family dukes were weak, they insisted on having their wheelchairs pushed out so that they could personally thank Zu An and Jiang Luofu.

After exchanging pleasantries and seeing that they were safe and sound, Jiang Luofu returned the greetings and took the opportunity to leave.

In a place like the Qin family home, she always felt like an outsider, somewhat out of place.

Zuan offered to take her, but she declined, saying, "You and they must have a lot to talk about, so I won't trouble you."

She smiled, waved casually, and disappeared into the night in her high heels.

Watching her departing figure, Qin Zheng sighed, "If Miss Jiang hadn't refused to marry the Crown Prince back then, which made her special status and no one dared to propose marriage to her again, with her looks and character, she would probably be married and established by now."

Qin Wanru couldn't help but say, "Dad, why do you have to get married? Principal Jiang is doing just fine as she is now. I even envy her. She lives a free and easy life."

Qin Zheng rolled her eyes: "Do you think everyone else is like you?"

Qin Wanru snorted sullenly.

Zu An smiled and said to the Qin brothers, Qin Zheng and Qin Se, "You two are both weak right now and need to rest more. Don't stay out in the cold wind."

The two brothers agreed wholeheartedly. Before leaving, Qin Zheng instructed, "Wanru, take good care of Azu and don't neglect him."

"Yes." Qin Wanru was very annoyed. She had said the same thing before, but the two of them didn't take it seriously at all. Now that her ancestor had said the same thing, the two of them obediently followed her.

After instructing Xiao Zhao to take her grandfather back to his room, she went to Zu An's side and said, "Grandpa, thank you so much this time."

Her expression was incredibly complicated. The commotion from the Meng family's battle had been so great that even the prison had heard it.

They and Jiang Luofu went out to investigate and learned that Zu'an had fought with the Meng family to avenge the Qin family. She was even planning to bring her men to help.

As a result, Jiang Luofu stopped him, and then he saw from afar that Zuan was smashing all kinds of top masters in the air one by one.

The shock she felt was beyond words. She was already shocked when she learned that he was the head of the National Academy, a favorite of the Crown Prince, and a marquis in the court. But now she realized that he was a hundred or a thousand times more powerful than that.

Has that guy who was scolded like a dog by her back in Brightmoon City grown up to this extent?

“Mother-in-law, we’re all family, don’t be so polite,” Zu An said with a slight smile.

Qin Wanru pursed her lips, and finally forced herself to say, "When I scolded you like that back then, did you hold a grudge against me?"

Oh no, oh no! If he really holds a grudge, not only me, but the entire Chu family is doomed.

What method should I use to apologize?

But he's almost taken all my precious daughters, how am I supposed to compensate him?

While feeling incredibly conflicted, Zu An chuckled and said, "Mother-in-law, you're overthinking it. What happened back then is all in the past."

He was indeed angry about what happened back then, but after learning that his marriage to Chu Yan was orchestrated by her, and that she did it because she felt sorry for her daughter and was disappointed in him for being hopeless, he had long since let go of those feelings.

Qin Wanru's heart was pounding. Oh no, he didn't say he didn't mind, but said it was in the past. Doesn't that prove he still minds?

Just then, Chu Huanzhao returned after seeing his grandfather off.

She was worried about her brother-in-law, and she pushed the wheelchair all the way, creating a spectacular sight that gave the two old men a real experience of wheelchair racing, scaring them half to death.

They had faced countless life-and-death situations on the battlefield throughout their lives, but they had never been so apprehensive as they were today. After all, they were now just ordinary old men who had lost all their cultivation.

"Brother-in-law, you're amazing!" Chu Huanzhao naturally took Zu An's arm, his face full of admiration.

Qin Wanru raised her eyebrows, but she was in no mood to blame him at the moment.
