Several guards were ordered to climb over the wall, but they were only halfway up when one of them was hit by a shovel and sent flying, while another had his head smashed open.
The only one who went in let out a scream, followed by the frantic barking of dogs.
Zhou Chenyang's face was grim. He turned to look at Jiang Xinrou and asked, "What happened?"
Jiang Xinrou didn't know what was going on either!
However, she couldn't say that in front of him at the moment, so she said, "There are servants on duty at the Lin residence after nightfall."
“They climbed over the wall, they might have been mistaken for thieves, I came to tell them.”
She shouted, "Listen up, you people inside! I am Jiang Xinrou, and I order you to open the door immediately!"
It was very quiet inside, and no one paid any attention to her.
Her brows furrowed, and she immediately ordered the guards to climb over the wall again.
This time, there were no further incidents, and the guards successfully climbed over the courtyard wall and opened the gate.
Jiang Xinrou breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and immediately smiled and said to Zhou Chenyang, "The servants of the Lin family are all honest and kind-hearted."
"They didn't know it was me. They thought it was a thief who broke in, which is why they attacked."
"No one came to open the door, which must mean that something big happened at the Lin residence today, so no one was guarding the door."
Zhou Chenyang could barely accept this explanation.
The two walked straight inside.
After entering the Lin family mansion, there was a narrow road. As soon as the two entered, a huge sack was put over Jiang Xinrou and Zhou Chenyang's heads.
Jiang Xinrou didn't know martial arts and was caught off guard.
Zhou Chenyang tried to dodge, but suddenly felt his leg being struck. He instantly lost his strength as the sack came over him.
His hand bones had been crushed by Ye Junfei and had not yet healed, so he was completely powerless at the moment.
Just after the two were caught, gongs sounded all around, followed by Lin Xiuyan's voice: "Thief!"
"A thief has scaled the wall and broken in! Beat him to death!"
Just as Zhou Chenyang was about to finish speaking, he felt a sharp pain on his face. He had been punched through the sack.
The one who hit him was none other than Lin Xiuyan.
Lin Xiuyan was wronged terribly by him in her previous life. After being reborn, she always wanted to beat him up, but she had no suitable opportunity.
Zhou Chenyang has delivered himself right to her doorstep today. If she doesn't cripple him, she's not Lin Xiuyan!
This scheme was not only set up for Jiang Xinrou, but also for Zhou Chenyang.
Because she knew that Zhou Chenyang was very greedy and would definitely have the steward count the dowry tonight.
He would come to the Lin residence immediately after discovering that the dowry was incorrect, so she had made arrangements in advance.
She had prepared this sack for Zhou Chenyang long ago!
Lin Xiuyan hated Zhou Chenyang to the bone, and when she struck, she was ruthless and vicious, aiming all her blows at Zhou Chenyang's face.
Zhou Chenyang initially said, "Stop! I am Zhou Chenyang!"
Lin Xiuyan cursed, "Are all thieves this arrogant nowadays? They even dare to impersonate the city lord!"
"Don't you know that the city lord is getting married to my cousin today, and he's currently in his bridal chamber?"
Zhou Chenyang: "..."
He was covered in a sack, so nothing he said mattered!
He had heard before that Lin Xiuyan was a skilled fighter, but he had never actually experienced it firsthand.
Only then did he realize that she was not only a skilled fighter, but also extremely cunning, slapping him squarely in the face!
Jiang Xinrou's actions were orchestrated by Lin An, who harbored extreme hatred for her behavior that day.
Lin Xiuyan had instructed him not to kill anyone and to just keep hitting Jiang Xinrou's face.
Jiang Xinrou was already delicate, and Lin An could only slap her a few times before knocking her unconscious.
As for the guards that Zhou Chenyang brought, they were all being beaten on the ground by the Lin family's servants.
In terms of individual combat strength, Zhou Chenyang's guards were superior, but they couldn't compete with the Lin family's large number of servants.
Three to five people against one would easily cripple those guards. (Biquge)
When Lin Xiuyan made her move, she was banging a gong and shouting at the top of her lungs, making a huge commotion that everyone on the street could hear.
The public security in Chongqing is usually quite good, but the recent murder case at a gambling den has made the people of Chongqing somewhat wary.
Upon hearing that someone had broken into the house and robbed someone, some immediately went to report it to the authorities, while those who were on good terms with the Lin family came to provide support with sticks and kitchen knives.
In no time, a large number of people who came to help gathered outside the Lin residence.
Ye Junfei stood under the eaves watching the farce unfold, his gaze slightly lowered.
He set up a trap for Zhou Chenyang today, went out and killed a group of people this afternoon, and just returned now.
Although Lin Xiuyan hadn't told him about her plans, he could roughly guess what they were.
However, he did not expect this matter to erupt tonight; it happened sooner than he anticipated.
Lin Xiuyan, however, had made preparations long ago, which is enough to show that she had anticipated this matter and that she understood Zhou Chenyang very well.
He felt a little uncomfortable; she had never bothered to understand him.
Wu Dao and Wu Ge were both beside him at this moment, and the two of them swallowed hard.
Wu Dao couldn't help but exclaim, "This Miss Lin is really fierce! I've never seen a fiercer girl than her!"
Wu Ge said, "Miss Lin is both brave and resourceful, anticipating the enemy's moves from afar and waiting in comfort for the enemy to tire themselves out."
"Zhou Chenyang will not only suffer this beating for nothing, but his reputation will also be damaged."
"Miss Lin is very thoughtful in her actions, and has the demeanor of a prince. She is a perfect match for the prince."
No Knife: "..."
He inwardly despised Wu Ge; that guy was a complete sycophant!
He wanted to curse Wu Ge, but then he heard Ye Junfei say, "Wu Ge is promoted to leader of the Dark Guards. Wu Dao will go back and receive ten strokes of the military rod."
No-Knife: "!!!!!!!"
He wanted to ask, "Why should I?"
But before he could even ask the question, Ye Junfei's gaze fell upon him: "You're not convinced?"
Wu Dao immediately cowered: "I submit! The young master punished me well!"
Even if he disagrees, he wouldn't dare say it!
Given his young master's temperament, if he dared to utter a single word of dissent, he could be crippled by his young master!
Wu Ge's lips twitched. This idiot hadn't learned his lesson from what happened last time, but he had.
He had thought about it carefully these past two days and realized that Ye Junfei's attention to Lin Xiuyan was unusual, which meant he must be interested in her.
He tried it out today and found it to be very effective.
He decided that from now on he would praise Lin Xiuyan whenever he had free time, and he would stick close to Lin Xiuyan's coattails, so he probably wouldn't be punished anymore.
He gave Wu Dao a look as if he were an idiot and decided to stay away from this moron from now on.
Over there, the servants of the Lin family had already beaten all the guards that Zhou Chenyang had brought to the point that they were unable to move.
Neither Jiang Xinrou nor Zhou Chenyang showed any sign of removing the burlap sacks from their bodies, and blood was already seeping out of the sacks.
At the same time, Commander Xu had already arrived with his patrol guards.
As soon as he arrived, he shouted sternly, "Where did this thief come from, daring to break into a house and rob a house!"
