Chapter 201 A Hidden Paradise Next Door
Thirteen and Gao Xun stared at each other in front of a house on the far east side, neither willing to give in.
Chen He sent Dong Xiao back to the manor to report the news, and when he found them, he was already overwhelmed. The younger one was a handful, and the older one was troublesome too.
"Master Gao, thirteen."
"Where's Chiu Chiu?" X2
Chen He was hit twice and couldn't help but back away, "Chirp chirp...chirp chirp...she, she's been detained by the Prince of Zhennan."
"Has the Prince of Zhennan returned to the capital?"
Who is the Prince of Zhennan?
Chen He and Gao Xun completely ignored Thirteen, and the two exchanged a brief conversation. Qiuqiu is under Gu Qinghuai's protection at the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and will not be in danger for the time being.
Their most important task now is to find the whereabouts of the person connected to Gongye Changfeng. According to Su Junyao's speculation, the person who kidnapped the calf is very likely the escaped Mr. Chi.
"The most urgent task is to find Mr. Chi."
"What about Chuchu?"
Thirteen interjected, "What?!"
"No." Gao Xun and Thirteen were both arrogant and disliked each other. They both acknowledged each other's strength. At this moment, Gao Xun naturally wouldn't let such a powerful fighter go. "You stay."
"No, my mission is to protect Qiuqiu." He had been transferred from a secret guard to a visible guard, and he could not forget his duty to protect his master for a moment.
However, he seems to have forgotten about his master now.
He made a move to leave, but Gao Xun stopped him: "Chiu Chiu will be sad if she can't find the little cow."
Mr. Chi or not, it doesn't matter. What matters is Chiu Chi's cat friend!
Thirteen hesitated.
No sooner had they sneaked into the house than Qiuqiu led the Gu siblings to the dog hole.
Jin Fengnian's face clearly showed his refusal: "I am a scholar with official rank, how can you expect me to crawl through a dog hole with you? No way, no way, absolutely not!"
Now I finally understand Gao Wenyan's feelings when he yelled at me that it was an insult to civility.
"Besides, the dog hole is so small, I can't squeeze through it."
Jin Fengnian tried to reason with them gently, but one of them was too quick to act. Before they could keep an eye on him, Qiuqiu had already crawled towards the dog hole.
He grabbed Qiuqiu's foot at the last moment, lifting her by the ankle and pulling her back. While pulling, he warned the other three, "Don't think you're immune to a beating just because you're all young ladies and gentlemen. I hit really hard! Anyone there? Come and get these unlucky kids out of here!"
Chiu Chiu turned around and looked at Jin Fengnian adorably through the crack in the dog hole. Her watery eyes seemed to accuse Jin Fengnian of heartlessness. Jin Fengnian was just a hair's breadth away from softening and letting her go.
At that crucial moment, his mind cleared a bit, and he said, "Say it again, no!"
Chirp: I'm kicking!
Jin Fengnian released his grip in pain, watching helplessly as Qiuqiu disappeared.
Jin Fengnian: "What a terrible thing!"
"You three stay here and keep watch. I'm going to find some help. If you hear any particularly pitiful screams, don't tell me, just report it to the authorities!"
In the blink of an eye, Jin Fengnian could already imagine the scene of Qiuqiu and the little cow being hung together and brutally beaten.
You're willing to brave even the most dangerous places, right?
Gu Qinghuai comforted him, "There's no danger next door."
"How do you know?" Jin Fengnian asked in surprise. Those bad guys were ruthless. Gao Wenyan had been beaten so badly last time that he was still standing and hadn't recovered. "No, I have to go find someone to save Qiuqiu!"
"There's really no danger next door, next door is..."
"What it is doesn't matter, what matters is that Chiu Chiu has disappeared!"
"I'm going to find someone. You all stay here and keep watch!"
Jin Fengnian's mind was filled with the miserable sight of Qiuqiu being brutally beaten, and he left quickly without giving Gu Qinghuai a chance to finish speaking.
Gu Qinghuai: He seems quite anxious, but I don't know what he's anxious about!
Gu Wen: "But isn't the house next door also ours?"
The four-year-old girl casually remarked, resting her chin on her hand. She didn't particularly like this older brother she had never met, and she disliked his friends even more. That's why she remained silent when Jin Fengnian and Qiuqiu were around.
She only spoke up when everyone else had left and Gu Qinghuai was the only one left, saying, "Brother, Father won't let us go next door. Let's go find Father."
Why are you looking for your father?
Of course, we should go and complain!
Gu Wen grabbed Gu Ling's arm and was about to leave when her usually taciturn older brother suddenly spoke up!
I'll let Dad beat him up then!
Gu Qinghuai's face was expressionless, but his dark eyes, like a deep, stagnant pool, stared intently at Gu Wen.
Gu Wen felt uncomfortable under Gu Qinghuai's gaze, so she quickly hid behind her brother. Her ears felt cold to the touch because they weren't covered!
She glanced furtively at Gu Qinghuai, then shrank back like a little turtle. In a muffled voice, she suggested, "Brother."
This "brother" was not meant for Gu Qinghuai, and of course, he didn't care.
Gu Ling hugged her younger sister and stomped her foot in displeasure: "Don't you dare bully my sister!"
The two children were indignant, as if Gu Qinghuai had done something unforgivable to them. Gu Qinghuai, who didn't care about them anyway, glared at them coldly, "Who cares?"
Gu Qinghuai tried to walk past them to find someone to bring Qiuqiu back, but Gu Ling unexpectedly opened her arms to block his way: "Apologize!"
“Get out of the way!”
Gu Qinghuai clenched his fists to suppress the raging anger within him. Even though his madness was cured, the trauma from this family meant he would never truly recover!
He blamed his father for neglecting him and his younger siblings for taking away the meager amount of fatherly love he received.
"You can't leave until you apologize to my sister!"
Gu Ling, being young and fearless, had no idea how terrifying Gu Qinghuai could be when he went berserk. All he knew was that his sister had been bullied, and he wanted to protect her.
"Apologize!"
With her brother backing her up, Gu Wen peeked out from behind Gu Ling and made a face at Gu Qinghuai, pouting and showing no dislike for this superfluous person in the family.
Gu Qinghuai still thought Qiuqiu was cuter. He wanted to bypass the siblings to find someone, but for some reason, Gu Ling suddenly pounced on him and hugged his leg.
"You're not allowed to leave until you apologize!"
"Hmph! You jerk!"
Gu Qinghuai's patience ran out, and his struggles became increasingly rough, until he finally managed to push Gu Ling to the ground.
Gu Wen was stunned for a moment when she saw this, then hugged Gu Qinghuai's leg and cried wildly, "Brother, brother, brother!"
"Ling'er!"
Amid the crying and commotion, a woman's panicked voice suddenly broke the silence.
Gu Qinghuai frowned; two more troublesome people had arrived.
The Prince of Zhennan and his wife jogged up to the three of them. The Prince of Zhennan's face darkened: "Is this how you brothers kill each other?"
"Qinghuai, you are the older brother, you can't bully your younger brother."
Gu Qinghuai opened his mouth, unsure how to explain. He was the one who pushed the person down, but there was a reason...
This behavior was seen as fact by the Princess Consort of Zhennan!
The woman, who had always appeared gentle and refined, now had a somewhat ferocious expression, looking as if she wanted to devour someone. "Gu Qinghuai, you mustn't hurt my child!"
"Minmin!"
When Gu Qinghuai saw the Princess of Zhennan rushing towards him, he covered his head, squatted down, rolled on the ground, and crawled into the next room like a chirping bird.
When Gu Qinghuai arrived next door and saw the scene before him, he was dumbfounded. "How come it's exactly the same as home?"
Every blade of grass, every tree, every brick, every tile—they are exactly the same!
"Chirp chirp? Chirp chirp, where are you?"
