Chu Jinjin felt a chill run down her spine. The sense of relief she felt after surviving the ordeal was even stronger than when she had just escaped a horde of zombies!
If the two cars hadn't passed each other, if she had hesitated even slightly, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
A girl from a clearly wealthy and powerful family could fetch a good price and be raised for several years...
It wasn't just Han Zhang who was destroyed, but also Chu Lingling, the Wang family, and even the Chu family.
Han Zhang struggled, but her hands were tied, a piece of cloth was stuffed in her mouth, and her fair face was cut in several places. Her eyes were full of panic, and she still trembled all over when she saw familiar figures.
"My lord, I bought this." The burly man felt a sharp pain in his wrist. He realized he had encountered a master. Seeing that Chu Jinjin had actually untied the little girl, he tried to struggle and explain, "Her family was in trouble, and her father sold it to me."
Trafficking and being sold by one's parents may end in the same way, but they are completely different things.
Selling one's own daughter is reasonable and legal.
Seeing Chu Jinjin unleash her power, kicking away the dagger with a single kick, Chu Lanlan felt her blood boil and was no longer afraid. She lifted her skirt and came over to help, but unlike Chu Jinjin, she didn't have the composure. She screamed, "Han Zhang!"
When Chu Lingling took her child back to her parents' home, Chu Jinjin basically stayed in her own courtyard. Chu Lanlan was different; she was younger and had been close to her older sister since childhood, so she also got along very well with Hanzhang.
Like a wounded cat, Han Zhang finally managed to utter a weak voice: "Fourth Aunt."
The big man immediately understood what had happened. No wonder they kept chasing him; it turned out they were the cargo owner's family.
He silently shrank back little by little, and when he felt that the distance was about right, he took a deep breath, turned around, and was about to run when he saw Chu Jinjin suddenly turn around.
The burly man pulled out another dagger and said viciously, "Little lady, I'm giving you the person. I advise you not to be ungrateful."
He knew this pretty young lady knew martial arts, but she was, after all, a young lady from a wealthy family. In a life-or-death struggle, it wasn't about who had the better skills. Even if he couldn't defeat her, he could still fight to the death and both of them would be seriously injured.
However, intimidation doesn't seem to work.
The beautiful young woman had a cold gaze as she walked towards him step by step.
At that moment, the big man felt as if he were being stared at by some kind of ferocious beast, and a chill ran down his spine.
Why would a rich young lady possess such murderous intent?
Something flashed through the burly man's mind, and he blurted out, "You're the third young lady of the Chu family?"
It's gone viral.
Unlike the rumors circulating in the streets, some of them had inside information and vaguely heard that even the leader of Black Eagle Mountain Stronghold had suffered a loss at the hands of Miss Chu.
Good heavens, is that even a woman?
Chu Lanlan shouted fiercely, "Yes, you know too late, Third Sister, beat this beast to death!"
She was heartbroken and terrified.
The burly man finally panicked, trembling all over. He wanted to run, but his legs were weak. He knelt down with a thud, saying honestly, "Grandma Chu, my ancestors, please spare my dog's life. If I had known she was your niece, I wouldn't have dared to do it even if you gave me a hundred lives."
A pair of exquisitely embroidered shoes appeared before his eyes.
The next moment, he felt himself being lifted up, and the next second, a chilling wind came from between his legs.
The burly man let out a scream that sounded inhuman.
It's broken, absolutely broken.
Chu Lanlan was completely dumbfounded, hugging Han Zhang and trembling. Third sister, she, she is even crazier than I imagined!
The driver felt a chill between his legs. Even though he knew it wasn't his problem, as a man, he couldn't help but feel afraid.
Meanwhile, Xu Xun and his mother arrived at the Chu residence.
Like a mad dog with no regard for its own life, Xu's mother smashed through the servants and rushed into the courtyard.
The servants could have stopped her, but seeing Chun'er being led by the hand, they dared not, and could only shout loudly as they chased after her.
"You've gone too far! Give me back my granddaughter!" Xu's mother shouted loudly. "Hanzhang, Hanzhang, your grandmother has come to get you."
The idea of her coming to find her mother must have been orchestrated by the Chu family behind the scenes. How could a seven-year-old girl dare to go out alone? Someone must have been there to meet her beforehand.
Xu's mother was convinced of this.
She was so certain that Xu Xun had no choice but to believe her.
Relying on her grandson's protection, Xu's mother charged recklessly all the way to Wang's courtyard.
"Where did this mad dog come from!" Madam Wang was looking for a place to vent her anger. As the dignified matriarch of the Chu family, she was not short of words. She pretended to look her up and down a few times and said in surprise, "I thought it was some beggar. Isn't this the mother of a seventh-rank military officer? What's wrong with her?"
In just one night, Xu's mother looked like she had removed her makeup, appearing extremely disheveled.
Chu Lingling was only worried about her child: "Hanzhang, what happened to Hanzhang?"
"You dare ask me? Madam Chu, I never knew you were so cunning. You can't win by stealing openly, you have to do it secretly." Madam Xu was more excited than thrilled. As long as they found Han Zhang, it would be like having leverage over her. She was just a little girl, but she would have to pay a price!
Chu Lingling roughly understood and looked at Xu Xun: "Tell me quickly, what happened to Hanzhang?"
Xu Xun frowned: "Didn't you send someone to pick up Han Zhang?"
Now, Madam Wang understood: "Xu Xun, explain yourself clearly, what exactly happened?"
After all, she was my former mother-in-law.
Xu Xun respectfully repeated the explanation, then asked in confusion, "Isn't Han Zhang here?"
Chu Lingling swayed and almost fell.
"Mother, Mother, what's wrong?" Chun'er shook off her grandmother's hand, ran to Chu Lingling, and rubbed her chest.
Chu Lingling forced herself to calm down: "Chun'er, did your sister tell you that Mother is coming?"
Chun'er nodded vigorously: "Sister said there are fleas on the bed. She is afraid of fleas. She also said that her head will be covered with fleas in a few days, and she will have to shave her head."
The seven-year-old girl understood what had happened between her parents.
Hanzhang always stood by his mother's side.
She disliked her father and especially hated her grandmother. She knew that her mother was often bullied and would secretly wipe away tears.
But she also knew that she and her brother shared the surname Xu.
Chu Yan ran all the way, panting heavily. After understanding the situation, without saying a word, he kicked Xu Xun.
He finally showed the spirit of a future successor to the Chu family.
Xu Xun didn't dodge, but endured it head-on, his voice hoarse: "Han Zhang, did Han Zhang really not come?"
Based on her understanding of Chu Lingling, it definitely didn't seem like she was lying.
A chill ran down his spine; he dared not think about it.
"Son, don't listen to their nonsense." Xu's mother panicked, but still remained stubborn. She rolled her eyes and said, "Where is Chu Jinjin? She must have kidnapped my granddaughter and made her come out."
Xu Xun growled in a low voice, "Mother, that's enough!"
He shouldn't have listened to that; he should have done as the innkeeper suggested and immediately followed the direction in which the car went missing, and maybe he could have caught up with it.
Chu Yan had already realized what was happening, glared at him fiercely, and issued a series of orders.
Regardless of whether it's the underworld or the legitimate world, the Chu family has some connections.
Upon receiving the order, the guards and servants immediately assembled, and almost all of them rushed out in a frenzy, including Wang Shi. With her child lost, she didn't care about anything else.
As soon as I stepped out of my house, I saw the familiar horse-drawn carriage.
Chu Lingling immediately felt reassured and rushed forward like the wind, carrying her son, without waiting for the carriage to stop.
