Lin Xiuyan smiled and asked, "What if I don't choose either?"
"Then you're courting death!" Zhou Shuyi said arrogantly, "You frightened me and injured me today, so you can only pay with your life!"
He had other matters to attend to and didn't want to waste time here, so he said to the guards beside him, "Tie this woman up for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his guards pounced on Lin Xiuyan like wolves and tigers.
Ye Junfei lost patience and drew his sword, slitting the throats of several guards.
This sudden turn of events startled Zhou Shuyi: "How dare you!"
Lin Xiuyan raised her hand and slapped him, saying, "You're still making a fuss over nothing. This isn't called being bold; this is called eliminating a scourge for the people."
Zhou Shuyi angrily said, "You bitch, who are you? How dare you hit me!"
Lin Xiuyan kicked him to the ground: "You're such a jerk, always calling others jerks. Only a jerk like that would insult someone else."
"So what if I hit you?"
Zhou Shuyi: "..."
Over the years, he has often bullied others by abusing his power, but this is the first time he has been brutally beaten in the street.
He had never been treated like this before, and he raised his foot to kick Lin Xiuyan.
However, he was usually lax in martial arts training and his skills were mediocre. Before he could even lift his foot, Lin Xiuyan kicked him away, sending him rolling more than a dozen times on the ground.
Zhou Shuyi got up and said, "You bitch, you have some nerve! If I don't show you what I'm capable of today, you won't know how powerful I am!"
Just then, a patrol team heard the commotion and rushed over.
Zhou Shuyi was acquainted with the captain of this patrol team, and he immediately shouted, "Captain Yu, they killed people in the street with cruel methods. Arrest them!"
The patrol team immediately surrounded the two men.
Captain Yu said coldly, "They're causing trouble in the street. Arrest them and take them back to the government office!"
The city guards were about to take action when Lin Xiuyan shouted, "Wait!"
"That's just their side of the story. Today he rode his horse recklessly in the street and injured people, and you're not going to do anything about it?"
Captain Yu said with a dark face, "What do you mean, riding a horse recklessly in the street and injuring someone? That's not true!"
"I only saw you committing violence in the street; your actions were extremely heinous. You must be apprehended and brought to justice!"
Zhou Shuyi looked at Lin Xiuyan smugly and said, "Weren't you very arrogant just now? I'll teach you to be arrogant!"
"This time you're not going to escape jail time. Even if I don't kill you, I'll make you suffer!"
"If you kneel down and beg me now, and obediently wash yourself clean so I can sleep with you, I might spare your life!"
Lin Xiuyan looked at Captain Yu and said, "He said such shameless things in front of you, clearly intending to abduct a woman. Aren't you going to do anything about it?"
Captain Yu said with a mocking expression, "What do you mean by forcibly abducting women? I didn't hear that."
"But you are the ones who are incredibly audacious, daring to maliciously slander others. Guards, take you back!"
There were many onlookers nearby, and they felt a pang of pity at the sight.
But no one dared to stand up and speak out.
The Zhou family was a tyrant in Liefeng City, and the people suffered greatly because of them, daring not to speak out against them.
In the past, there were people who tried to seriously resist the Zhou family, and at best they were beaten up, and at worst their families were destroyed.
Lin Xiuyan was utterly shocked by Captain Yu's words: "How could you say something like that?"
"How many gifts did you give your boss to become the captain of the city patrol?"
Captain Yu's face darkened further upon hearing this: "What are you all standing there for? Arrest them right now!"
Ye Junfei kicked the patrolling guards away, and said with a half-smile, "You are too lowly to speak to me."
The city patrol guards usually acted arrogantly and domineeringly in Liefeng City, and this was the first time someone had dared to slap them in the face in the street. This was simply intolerable.
The city guards blew their whistles, and nearby guards rushed over to provide support.
Those who were more astute immediately ran back to the government office to fetch reinforcements.
Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan had the same thought: since they had run into each other today, they would make a big scene.
Watching the two of them remain calm and unhurried, Zhou Shuyi felt a bad premonition.
He was always arrogant, and no matter how big a trouble he caused, his father would always stand up for him.
So his bad feeling vanished completely.
He said coldly, "You're all dead today."
Lin Xiuyan looked at him and said, "Are we doomed? How about we make a bet? We'll bet your head on it. The one who dies today will definitely be you."
She took a step forward, and he knew she was incredibly audacious and really dared to hit him, so he immediately took a step back.
Seeing his appearance, Lin Xiuyan said with disdain, "Coward!"
The city patrol guards who came to provide support have arrived, and they made thorough preparations before coming this time.
They held bows and arrows, all aimed at Lin Xiuyan and Ye Junfei.
But just as they drew their bows into a semicircle, they felt a chill on their necks.
They turned their heads and saw a gleaming knife pressed against their necks.
Captain Yu was startled by the sight: "Who are you people?"
Wu Ge ignored him. Ye Junfei had not given any orders, and they would not kill the officials in public without permission.
Just then, the city lord of Galewind City rushed over.
He shouted, "Who dares to cause trouble in the street?"
Ye Junfei looked at him calmly and said, "Lord Zheng, it's been a long time."
The moment Lord Zheng saw Ye Junfei, his expression changed drastically. He immediately cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
Captain Yu and Zhou Shuyi were both quite surprised when they heard what Lord Zheng said.
Zhou Shuyi couldn't help but ask, "The heir apparent? Who is the heir apparent?"
Ye Junfei said unhurriedly, "I can't accept such a courtesy. After all, this is the first time I've ever seen a city patrol guard who turns black into white."
"This is the first time I've ever seen someone ride a horse recklessly in the street. After being stopped, not only did they dare to hit someone, but they also wanted to snatch the Crown Princess back to serve him."
This time, Captain Yu and Zhou Shuyi both understood that the very troublesome couple in front of them were actually the heir and his wife from the Pingnan Prince's Mansion.
Captain Yu turned to look at Zhou Shuyi and said, "You're going to get me killed this time!"
When Zhou Shuyi learned of Ye Junfei's identity, he was initially startled, but quickly calmed down: "What's there to be afraid of!"
"He's just a prince without any real power. The princess has plenty of ways to kill them. The Pingnan Prince's Mansion belongs to the second young master."
He usually only cared about eating, drinking, and having fun, so he didn't know that Ye Jingxian's leg had been broken by Ye Junfei.
When Captain Yu heard Zhou Shuyi's words, he felt very complicated and regretted standing up for Zhou Shuwan today.
Lord Zheng cursed Zhou Shuyi and Captain Yu in his heart, thinking that these two were really asking for death!
