Chu Jinjin wasn't an unreasonable person. Since the other party was straightforward, she was just as decisive. Without saying a word, she directly signaled Wang Da to let go of the skinny man. She glanced at the two of them a few times and asked curiously, "What's your relationship?"
When the market came head-on, the fat man's body instinctively leaned slightly towards the thin man, a subconscious protective action.
The two look completely different and are clearly not brothers.
The fat man said in a deep voice, "He is the child of my benefactor."
Chu Jinjin let out a long "Oh," scratched his head, and said, "So it was just pure brotherly affection."
Wang Da: "......."
Even if someone told him that the Third Miss was a demon in disguise, he wouldn't be shocked anymore.
Having figured things out, Chu Jinjin asked directly, "Why are you following me?"
Logically speaking, since the message she released was that she was rescuing her father with ransom, and the other party was from Black Hawk Mountain Stronghold, there was no need for her to go through all this trouble; she could have just waited at home.
The fat man snorted coldly: "If I said I'd protect you, would you believe me?"
Chu Jinjin was taken aback for a moment, then quickly understood: "Are you worried that my brother and I won't make it to Black Eagle Stronghold?"
That makes sense.
The traitor's target was clearly the entire Chu family. First, she kidnapped the father, then eliminated others who could pose a threat. That's why she went to such lengths to lure the enemy out.
Black Hawk Mountain Stronghold was certainly not there to protect him and his elder brother, but for that million taels of silver.
The fat man rolled his eyes.
It's really frustrating.
The Chu family has such a ruthless character that they don't need any protection at all.
Chu Jinjin asked seriously, "Do you know who the traitor is?"
"I don't know," the fat man answered crisply. "Even if you castrated both of my brothers, I still wouldn't know."
Chu Jinjin did not press the matter further.
At most, the two were minor leaders in Black Hawk Mountain Stronghold, and they certainly wouldn't have access to such core secrets.
As for why the father was arrested, asking that question would be pointless.
The fat man shook his body irritably: "Can you untie me now?"
"Of course." Chu Jinjin personally untied the ropes binding him and said slowly, "Let's go back to Black Eagle Mountain Village together."
Wang Da stared in disbelief: "Third Miss, you must not! We need to discuss this matter carefully."
He certainly understood what Chu Jinjin was going to do.
That's right, Chu Jinjin is a hidden master, and her skills far surpass those of anyone he knows.
But that was Black Eagle Stronghold, a place even the government troops couldn't touch.
It's more than just a place where hidden talents abound.
The fat man laughed as if he had heard a joke: "Hahaha, Miss Chu, you are truly a dragon among men."
Inside the Chu family compound.
Chu Jingde had his eyes closed, seemingly asleep. Only one lamp was lit in the room, casting a dim light.
The door was gently pushed open, and the old butler, like an aged monkey, walked with almost no sound.
From their youth to their old age, their relationship was, in some ways, closer than that of family, and they understood each other better.
Chu Jingde opened his eyes slightly: "What happened?"
The old butler said softly, "Master, Madam He from the third branch of the family has arrived. Have you seen her?"
Chu Jingde nodded.
The night before, he and Chu Jinjin didn't talk much, yet it felt like they talked a lot.
Saving Zujian is important, but finding the traitor within the family is equally important.
Although the ancestral route was kept secret, no accidents had ever occurred over the years, so it wouldn't be difficult for one's spouse to inquire about it.
For example, asking someone to bring back a local specialty.
If they can take it, it means they know which route to take.
Those who have this opportunity are nothing more than a few daughters-in-law and children.
First, let's get rid of Liu Shi. With her brain, it's a miracle she's still alive. Of course, there's also the reason behind Chu Jinjin.
The eldest son's wife is a suspect, but the third son's wife, surnamed He, is the most likely suspect.
