Chapter 617: The Zhou Family Did It
At the Lu family, in front of the old lady's bed, the maid Xiao Liu knelt on the ground, so anxious that tears were about to come out.
With red eyes, she pointed to the sky and swore, "Master, Madam, before the Second Young Master left, he told me to stand guard at the door. I didn't dare move a step. I clearly remember Miss Du was inside!"
Hu Xin'er said anxiously, "But when we came back, the place was clearly empty. Where could they have gone?"
"Yun Jue is definitely not the kind of person who would wander around casually." Mu Qing said in a deep voice, "If he left his mother, it must be because he had something important to do."
"So, he asked Miss Du to help him look after his mother, and Miss Du quietly left while she was watching over her mother?" Hu Xin'er had just said this when she spat twice, "I'm talking nonsense again. Miss Du is definitely not that kind of person!"
Although Miss Du sometimes acts clever, she is from the Du family after all and attaches great importance to integrity and promises.
What's more, there was some unclear and ambiguous relationship between her and Yun Jue. After receiving such an instruction, how could she just quietly leave without telling anyone?
As she was thinking, she suddenly recalled the last time Miss Lu was kidnapped. Her heart skipped a beat and she slowly turned her head, only to see Mu Qing looking at her with the same serious expression.
Hu Xin'er opened her mouth, almost not daring to say what she was thinking: "Did something happen?"
Oh my God, if something happens to Miss Du in her family, how will she explain to Mr. Du and the others?
"Let's go to Zhou's house to find someone!" She was now clumsy and staggered because she stood up too quickly.
Everyone in the room was frightened by her actions and rushed forward.
"Young Madam, you must take care of yourself." Xiao Liu was still kneeling on the ground, ready to use her body as a cushion at any time.
Even if Hu Xin'er didn't scold her, she could feel the seriousness of the situation from the current atmosphere.
She was both frightened and anxious at the moment. "Young Madam, it's all my fault for not taking good care of Miss Du. Go ahead and hit me! Punish me! But don't let your anger get you in trouble."
Hu Xin'er waved her hand: "It's none of your business. What happened at the time, even if you found out?"
Xiao Liu has no martial arts skills. If he really finds the bad guys, not only will he not be able to help them report the incident, but he may end up dying.
At the critical moment, Mu Qing persuaded Hu Xin'er: "We have neither witnesses nor physical evidence at this moment. How can we prove that it was the Zhou family who kidnapped them?"
"Who cares?" Hu Xin'er gritted her teeth and said, "Anyway, the person was lost here. Let's go tell Master Du and the others now, and then go rescue him together!"
In her heart, nothing is more important than saving lives.
"Xin'er, don't worry. We can invite Mr. Du and the others over, and then discuss a solution." Mu Qing patted her back gently to calm his frightened wife.
Hu Xin'er suppressed her anxiety and took a few deep breaths. "You're right. The more it's at this moment, the more we shouldn't act impulsively."
Just when Mu Qing sent someone to notify the Du family, Lu Yunjue also hurried back.
"Brother and sister-in-law, where is Miss Du?" He asked directly as soon as he entered the door, without even catching his breath.
Mu Qing analyzed, "The Zhou family's disturbance today is probably a trick they're using to lure the tiger away from the mountain. They're deliberately sending us away in order to kidnap Miss Du."
Lu Yunjue nodded: "Okay, I will go to Zhou Mansion to rescue Miss Du!"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
"Wait!" Hu Xin'er and Mu Qing said in unison.
Lu Yunjue frowned and turned back: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Seeing the anxiety between his brows and in his eyes, Mu Qing couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that his younger brother was really trapped.
"Yun Jue, you've always been so steady. Why are you so impulsive today?" Hu Xin'er waved at him. "Don't worry. I've already sent someone to consult with Master Du and the others to discuss a solution."
Lu Yunjue lowered his voice, trying to make his tone sound softer. "Sister-in-law, the Zhou family has always been vicious. They've been hiding assassins among the crowd, intending to poison Miss Du. Now we've gone to so much trouble to abduct Miss Du. If we wait any longer, Miss Du's life will be in danger!"
He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but someone patted his shoulder.
Mu Qing pressed him down on the chair and said calmly, "It would be useless for you to go now. The Zhou family must have been prepared by now. You can't defeat them alone. The only outcome is to alert the enemy or be locked up with Miss Du."
Lu Yunjue was stunned for a moment, and after a while he said, "Brother is right, I was too impatient."
"First, tell me why you were led out." Mu Qing said.
Lu Yunjue's face was filled with a hint of self-blame. "At that time, I saw a dark shadow and thought it was a traitor in the mansion, so I quickly chased after it."
"They are so deliberate, there is really nothing we can do." Hu Xiner was a little dejected.
At this moment, the door was kicked open.
Master Du asked anxiously, "Where are they? Where have they gone? Xiaoqin! Daddy's dear daughter, where are you?"
His tall figure stood in front of the door, and next to him was Mrs. Du.
Mrs. Du's usual amiable expression vanished as she asked in a trembling voice, "Is what you said true? Was Xiaoqin really captured by the Zhou family?"
Hu Xin'er briefly and quickly recounted what had happened, then concluded, "I'm truly sorry, but right now we're still unable to confirm who abducted Miss Du."
"It must be that damned Zhou Chenghe!" Master Du was furious. "They even dared to mess with my daughter. Today I must turn the Zhou family upside down!"
He waved his hand and said, "Hu Laosan, call all the disciples in our martial arts school here immediately."
"Okay!" Hu Laosan ran to the door, tiptoed away and flew away.
Mother Du bit her lip, clearly filled with hatred. "There's no one else in the Zhou family. It's only that Miss Zhou who's been targeting our Xiaoqin."
Mr. Du cursed, turned around and pulled his wife out.
Hu Xin'er and the others hurriedly followed, feeling somewhat worried, and said, "Yun Jue, wait for our news at home first. Be sure to protect mother."
Master Du turned around with a dark face and said, "You are a woman who can't even take care of your own family. Why are you following us to cause trouble?"
"I..." Hu Xin'er was speechless for a moment.
Miss Du’s incident had been going on for so long, wasn’t she worried that Mr. Du’s straightforward temper wouldn’t allow him to handle the Zhou family?
