Chapter 1370 The Master is in Love with the Bandit (10)

Shi Chu originally thought that he was just a passerby in Zhou Bang's family, and that they would soon go their separate ways and never meet again after a chance encounter.

Although there were minor conflicts in the beginning, they were reconciled later and were able to live in peace. However, Shi Chu was wrong. She didn't expect that even though she didn't want to take action against this family, someone in this family wanted to take action against her.

Shi Chu originally thought that he could finally have a good sleep in the inn that night, but he didn't expect to be awakened in the middle of the night by an uninvited guest who sneaked into his room.

The person who came was obviously not a martial arts expert, because his footsteps were heavy. Even though he tried his best to speak softly, they were still very obvious to the ears of a martial artist like Shi Chu. Shi Chu noticed it the moment he pried open the door and came in.

The footsteps groped their way towards Shi Chu's bed. Shi Chu thought he was going to attack her by surprise, so she waited for a while and thought about counterattacking in self-defense. However, she didn't expect that the man just looked at her for a while by the bed, and found that she was very quiet, with no sign of "waking up" at all. He then turned around and left the bed, walking towards the table beside her. On the table was the bag that Shi Chu had used to hide her identity.

The man's target was Shi Chu's bag. He quietly opened the bag and started searching.

Shi Chu was a little confused. Could it be that this person broke into her room just to steal things? Her bag was used to conceal her identity. It only contained two thin clothes, a little silver, a knife, a tinderbox, and other small items necessary for survival in the wild. They were not worth much.

But no matter how worthless it was, it was hers and she couldn't let anyone steal it. Shi Chu had no intention of letting the thief get away, so she quietly got up, walked barefoot behind the man, and suddenly asked, "There's nothing valuable in my bag."

The man was frightened by Shi Chu and jumped up. Realizing that he was discovered, he immediately dropped the things in his hands and tried to escape. However, how could Shi Chu let him escape? He immediately stopped him.

The man exchanged a few moves with Shi Chu in a panic. His movements were clumsy and slow, and his punches and kicks were fancy. He was soon defeated and pinned to the ground by Shi Chu.

After tying the man up with ropes, Shi Chu lit the oil lamp and found that the thief looked familiar, so he asked, "I think I've seen you before, who are you?"

The thief was in a panic. He kept his mouth shut tightly, saying nothing, and lowered his head, trying his best to hide his face.

"Do you think I can't do anything to you if you don't speak?" Shi Chu sneered and stretched out his hand to press a certain acupoint on his body. In an instant, the thief's face changed and twisted, and he fell to the ground, rolling and wailing.

The wailing sound instantly woke up many people in the inn in the silent night. Shi Chu heard someone waking up from his sleep and checking the situation in panic. She frowned and tore off a piece of tablecloth and stuffed it into the thief's mouth.

"Have you decided to confess?" Shi Chu asked. The thief was now in so much pain that tears were streaming down his face, and he looked extremely miserable.

"You're actually quite courageous." Seeing that he still refused to confess, Shi Chu pressed several other acupuncture points hard, and instantly the pain in his body became many times more intense, making him feel like dying.

The thief finally couldn't stand the pain anymore, he knelt down and kowtowed to Shi Chu, repeatedly signaling with his eyes that he had compromised and wanted to confess.

Shi Chu was not afraid that he was pretending to surrender, so he tore off the rag stuffed in his mouth, and the thief's painful cry instantly leaked out: "I confess! I confess everything!"

"Tell me, if you dare to lie to me, I will make you die in pain." Shi Chu warned.

"I dare not lie to you... I am the cousin of Zhou Bang's wife. It was his wife who asked me to steal your things. I wanted to teach you a lesson and make you penniless and homeless on the streets..." the thief confessed in tears.

When Shi Chu heard his words, she immediately remembered why she felt he looked familiar. It turned out that he was Zhou Bang's man. She had met him yesterday, but she didn't have a deep impression of him so she didn't remember him. Now that he revealed his identity, Shi Chu made the connection.

But - "Why would Zhou Bang's wife let you steal my things and make me homeless?" Shi Chu thought he hadn't offended her. After all, hadn't he kept it to himself that she had cheated on Zhou Bang? Could it be that she was so perceptive that she had already noticed that he had seen through her tricks and she was feeling guilty?

But even if he was guilty and wanted to silence himself, it would be useless to just steal all his money and belongings. Shi Chu immediately overturned his speculation.

Sure enough, the thief immediately said, "Because she was angry that you refused to share the roasted lamb with her son last night, she thought you were petty and narrow-minded, and it would be difficult to relieve her hatred if she didn't take revenge... Hero, I have confessed everything, please unblock my acupuncture points! It hurts so much!"

Shi Chu did not untie him immediately. He should be punished for daring to steal her things.

As for what he confessed, he said that Zhou Bang's wife was angry that he did not share the barbecue with her son and wanted to take revenge on him. Shi Chu was very surprised. He did not expect that Zhou Bang's wife wanted to take revenge on him just because of this. It is hard to tell who is more petty and narrow-minded.

But why did he send her cousin to steal his things? Shouldn't he find a trusted confidant to do such a thing? Could it be that this cousin was the person Zhou Bang's wife trusted the most?

Shi Chu looked at the thief with suspicion. As she watched, she realized something fishy. No wonder this "cousin" was asked to do such a secretive thing. It turned out that this man was her son's biological father!

Shi Chu suddenly realized that she had found the mistress of Zhou Bang's wife. These two people were so bold that they had an affair right under Zhou Bang's nose and gave birth to an illegitimate child. They were not afraid of being discovered. The person in front of her looked very similar to Zhou Bang's son, with the same deep double eyelids, high nose bridge, and thin lips. She looked heartless and disloyal.

But perhaps because this man was a little thin and dark, no one associated him with Zhou Bang's fat son.

Shi Chu originally saw that Mrs. Zhou Bang had cheated on Zhou Bang and didn't want to expose her. She just wanted to pretend that she didn't know. However, she didn't expect that Mrs. Zhou Bang wanted to forgive her, but she didn't want to forgive herself. Shi Chu was very angry and felt that this person was ungrateful. He wanted to let her go, but she came running to him and asked for death. So he fulfilled her wish.

So Shi Chu pressed the thief's acupuncture points a few more times, and the thief immediately cried and wailed, waking up everyone in the inn. Shi Chu immediately shouted in shock: "There's a thief! Catch the thief!"

As soon as she said this, everyone else in the inn came out to help catch the thief.
