Upon finding Fu Zhun, Zhou Li immediately began to exaggerate and scream as he recounted the whole story.
"That fat thief looks fierce and menacing; he'll surely try to harm the princess in secret! How can the princess, a frail woman, possibly withstand such a barbarian!"
Fu Zhun listened with a headache to his son's incoherent chatter, which was full of nonsense, but he was too lazy to correct him.
His slightly cold eyes turned to the guard, and he frowned as he ordered, "Protect her secretly."
The guard bowed and accepted the order, then quickly disappeared into the shadows.
Zhou Li's smile immediately became even more sly. He knew that he would definitely be invited to the VIP seat at the Prince's wedding, and the very first banquet seat at that!
Su An was unaware of all this. He figured that the county magistrate was too powerful, so even if Boss Liu wanted revenge, he wouldn't dare to do it openly. So, he prepared sticks in the house for the whole family as a precaution.
However, despite all her careful planning, she never expected this.
Upon returning, Boss Liu immediately sent silver to the jailer and smoothly took Wang Mazi away.
"That damn bitch made me spend the whole night in there!"
Wang Mazi lived up to his name, his face was covered in pockmarks, and he had shifty eyes as he angrily cursed.
"What's that compared to what I did? That bitch blew my hair out!" Boss Liu touched his bald head, his face turning ashen.
He narrowed his eyes menacingly and gritted his teeth, saying, "Brother-in-law, you're the local tyrant of Fuyou County. I'm counting on you. I'll teach that bitch a lesson and ruin her reputation!"
"As for the officials, don't worry. I'll take care of everything, no matter how big the problem is!"
...
In the afternoon, Su An started researching new products as usual, but found that she was missing a few seasonings to make soup dumplings.
After telling her family, she took her basket and went to the street to shop.
Some seasonings are unfamiliar to ordinary people and are not available in the market, so they are mixed in with small vendors, and she has to have a discerning eye to identify them.
However, after walking only a few streets, Su An clearly sensed that someone was following her.
He even brazenly and swaggered behind her for a few steps!
Is this another act of revenge by Boss Liu? Or is some other boss eyeing her now?
Su An suddenly felt she couldn't bear it any longer and glanced back discreetly, only to find two ragged beggars who looked rather thin.
Very good, we can win!
No matter who sent her, if the tiger doesn't show its power, she'll just keep being bullied like a cat and thought she's easy to manipulate!
Su An gritted his teeth in anger, and then, right in front of the other party, he "whooshed" into a side alley.
Then she quickly picked up a stick and hid in the corner, holding her breath.
"Quick, she ran inside!"
Hearing the hurried footsteps that followed, a cold glint flashed in Su An's eyes. Seizing the opportunity, as the first beggar rushed in, she raised her wooden stick and smashed it down hard.
"Thump!"
The beggar never expected that the frail Su An would suddenly attack him. Caught off guard, he was struck so hard that his eyes rolled back and he fainted before he could even react.
"Ah!" The smaller beggar in the back screamed in fright, took a step back, and stared at Su An in astonishment. "Well, you actually dared to plot against us!"
Su An looked at the short beggar who was even shorter than himself and was no longer afraid.
She brandished the wooden stick in her hand, raised an eyebrow in a menacing manner, and stepped closer, saying, "What, you think you're the only ones who can follow me? And I'm not allowed to fight back?"
"You little coward, I'll beat you to a pulp with one blow! You're just a beggar, if I kill you, nobody will even know!"
At this moment, Su An was in full force, a fierce smile on his face, which looked like a ghost to the little beggar.
This woman just a moment ago looked so gentle and lovely, how did she suddenly turn into a female demon?!
"Speak up! Who sent you? What do you want? Tell the truth and we might let you go!"
Su An suddenly shouted coldly, startling the little beggar so much that he immediately covered his head and cried out, "It's Wang Mazi! He told us to follow you and leave our marks along the way!"
Wang Mazi?
Upon hearing this name, Su An's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't Wang Mazi arrested and thrown into jail last night?
"They're here! Look for them if you want to find them!" the little beggar shouted, pointing behind Su An, before immediately running away.
Su An had a bad feeling. He frowned and turned his head, only to see Wang Mazi, the leader, leading a group of even dirtier and stronger beggars.
A group of hooligans blocked the alley.
"Hehe! You bitch, you didn't expect this, did you? Your old man has come here specifically to settle scores with you!" Wang Mazi laughed smugly and menacingly, his sticky eyes roaming over Su An's fair face, his eyes full of ruthlessness.
"Hey, not bad looking at him now, all smooth and shiny. Brothers, you're all going to get your hands on him soon!"
The group of beggars behind him were staring at Su An with lustful eyes, and when they heard this, they all started drooling.
Su An gripped the wooden stick tightly. Without thinking, she knew she couldn't stay any longer and turned to run away.
However, a group of beggars had somehow gathered in the alley behind them.
A group of men approached with lewd grins, their eyes filled with disgust and blatant lust. "Where does the beauty think she can run off to? Just obediently submit to your brothers!"
Su An's eyes instantly turned cold, and she had no choice but to retreat again, completely helpless against this encirclement: "What exactly do you want!"
Seeing that the time was right, Wang Mazi chuckled and said, "You bitch, you know what I want. Hand over the formula now, and maybe I'll let you off the hook if I'm in a good mood!"
"Otherwise... humph!"
However, upon hearing this, Su An had no doubt that even if he wrote down the formula now, these scoundrels would not let him go!
what to do?
A thin layer of cold sweat beaded on her forehead. Just as she was clenching her lips and racking her brains, suddenly—
A sharp figure suddenly leaped into the group of beggars and casually knocked out four or five of them.
"Hey! Where did this bastard come from, daring to ruin our good time!"
"Damn it, attack together!"
The beggars were instantly filled with anger and rushed towards the figure.
Su An was overjoyed; it turned out to be the guard from next door!
Not only her, but Wang Mazi also recognized the person with wide eyes. He immediately spat angrily: "Again?!"
He had clearly found out that the guard was just the neighbor's bodyguard, so why did he insist on protecting this bitch again and again?!
Enraged, Wang Mazi watched as the beggars were utterly defenseless, with a large number of them being knocked down. His face turned ashen, and he immediately fled.
No rush! If it doesn't work this time, there's always next time. He doesn't believe that this guard can always be by Su An's side!
Wait!
Su An was also following behind, helping to smash the beggar, when suddenly he spotted Wang Mazi running away.
Just as the guard finished dealing with the last person, she hurriedly pointed in the direction Wang Mazi had run away and said, "Brother guard, hurry and chase after him! Don't let this great villain get away!"
However, Jian Yi shook his head calmly and succinctly: "No need to chase."
