Chapter 337 Seeking Death?
It looks like it's going to rain tonight, and there's a damp smell in the air right now.
The locals who set up stalls along the street had all packed up early, and there were hardly any people on the street at this time.
The carriage traveled through the dark and long streets.
On the sixth day of the month, who was rushing to catch the carriage, asked, "Sir, the girls' academy is just ahead. Should we take a detour to go and take a look?"
The person inside the carriage was fiddling with a teacup, his robe open to reveal his honey-colored chest, and his tone was somewhat nonchalant, "It's so cold at night, why bother taking a detour? Are you bored out of your mind?"
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, I felt restless and uneasy. Isn't it just because I'm full and bored? I don't know who was so bored before, always taking detours, but now they're not.
"Well, it's probably closing time at the academy by now. Let's go check it out on the way, just in case..."
Chu Xiujie suddenly stopped talking and jumped out of the carriage.
"There are sounds of fighting outside."
"Judging from the noise, they're probably not our people, so it has nothing to do with us."
"This Jiangnan region is so chaotic. Whose power struggle is this?"
Chu Xiujie, always eager for excitement, was watching closely when he suddenly spotted a figure that looked very familiar.
"It's that girl's bodyguard! Oh no!" Chu Xiujie's expression changed, and he ran wildly into the alley.
"Smack..."
In the long alley, Da Ya was grabbed by the hair by two men and slapped to the ground.
"You bitch, you dare to throw chili powder at us? Go ahead and run! Try and run again if you dare!"
Da Ya's face was swollen and burning with pain from the beating. She wished she hadn't been holding poison.
These two people actually endured the discomfort caused by the chili powder and insisted on catching up with her.
Daya pleaded, "Big brothers, I'm so scared, I'll never run away again this time."
"If I believe you again, you're really something else, I'll kill you!"
Daya was forced onto the steps of a house's back door.
Hearing the noise, the family glanced at the door and quickly closed it again.
Sizzle—
The sound of fabric being torn.
"I didn't realize that Dean Lin, who looks so slender, has such a well-endowed figure."
"Lin Qingshuang!"
Chu Xiujie kicked the people away one by one, and saw Daya lying on the bluestone steps, her clothes open, revealing her pink undergarment.
Chu Xiujie took off his outer robe and wrapped it around the person, then picked him up in his arms, his whole body radiating coldness.
"You guys have really gone too far! You didn't even bother to find out whose daughter she is before you made your move!"
The two perpetrators exchanged a glance.
"Trying to leave? Too late!" Chu Xiujie sneered. "Leave these two alive."
His bodyguards captured the two men alive.
Aside from the one who distracted the guards, these two weren't particularly skilled in martial arts.
"Are you alright?" Chu Xiujie carried Daya and placed her directly on the carriage before asking.
A teenage girl encountering this kind of thing...
Da Ya's face was swollen on one side, blood was still dripping from the corner of her mouth, and her hair was disheveled, making her look somewhat frightening. "It's okay. If you had arrived any later, I would have been in trouble."
She had just pulled the hairpin out of her hair and almost died with the two men, but at the last moment she thought of her parents, and Er Ya and San Ya.
If she dies, her family will be heartbroken.
Seeing that she could still speak, Chu Xiujie breathed a sigh of relief and poured a cup of tea for Daya. "You little ungrateful thing, you're blaming me now. If I hadn't happened to be passing by tonight, you..."
He didn't say the rest, which was incredibly cruel for a woman.
Da Ya took a breath, suppressing the taste of blood in her mouth, and turned to look at Chu Xiujie. Her tone was calm. "Before my father left Jiangnan, he repeatedly told you to take care of me. Do you think he would skin you alive if something happened to me?"
"What a heartless little thing!"
Chu Xiujie was amused and annoyed when he heard this. He sat down next to Da Ya while still wearing his undergarments.
I didn't have any extra clothes in my car, and that heartless little brat is wearing his.
"Drive the car to my place."
Chu Xiujie gave instructions to Chu Liu, then couldn't help but turn back to comfort Daya, "Don't be afraid, don't worry, my men are very tight-lipped, no one will know what happened tonight."
Daya looked at him: "Didn't you already know that?"
Chu Xiujie: ...
She was taken aback. "I won't tell anyone. You'll have to think about it yourself. As long as I don't say anything, no one will know."
Daya gave a mocking laugh, "Don't worry, even if people find out, I won't do anything rash. Even if I lose my innocence tonight, I'll still live a good life."
Before Chu Xiujie arrived, she already knew that the two men's goal was to ruin her reputation and her face, but these things were nothing compared to her life.
“I am not ashamed to face anyone. My mother said that a woman’s chastity is never under her skirt. I am not the one who is ashamed to face anyone.”
Da Ya picked up her teacup and took another sip, but Chu Xiujie knew that she wasn't as calm as she appeared.
She was afraid.
Chu Xiujie instructed Chu Liu outside, "Have Chu Jiu and Chu Shi go there, and give the person behind this a taste of their own medicine."
Chu Liu paused for a moment before replying, "Sir, these are men."
How do I return it?
"Men are people too, do I need to say more?" Chu Xiujie leaned back on the soft couch, reverting to his previous nonchalant demeanor.
Suddenly noticing a gaze upon him, Chu Xiujie looked down and saw that his collar was open...
"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen this before?!"
Chu Xiujie adjusted his collar with extreme discomfort.
Daya withdrew her gaze, took a sip of tea, and then said, "I've never seen it before."
Chu Xiujie: "..."
Where is the shyness of a young lady? He seems like a grown woman.
Chu Xiujie was depressed for a while, then gave an order to the outside, "Chu Wu, you will be by her side from now on."
Since these people have already made their move and failed, they will definitely come back again. It would be easy for a single bodyguard to be lured away.
Chu Wu's voice soon rang out from outside the carriage, "Sir, could you please let Shi Yi go? It's not appropriate for a grown man like me to follow a young girl. What if she sees something she shouldn't?"
Chu Xiujie glanced at Daya, who was wearing his clothes, and said, "You're right. Go and change Eleven back, and let Eleven go."
Chu Shiyi was a eunuch, so he could disguise himself as a woman and even follow Da Ya closely without any problems.
Daya wasn't ungrateful, and said softly, "Thank you, Lord Chu, for your trouble. I'll personally cook for you and your men later."
Looking at her swollen face, Chu Xiujie felt a surge of frustration, but he had nowhere to vent his anger.
"You should focus on recovering from your injury first."
