Chapter 239 Reinforcements Arrive
Chiu Chiu knows too much. Now Su Jinze is starting to tremble and wonder if his sister is really some kind of little monster who can predict the future.
He pressed his temples, feeling a deep sense of responsibility as the eldest brother.
"Everyone else is locked in the empty courtyard. He..." Su Jinze kicked Shao Fangyu, "What's your name?"
Shao Fangyu exuded a sinister aura, looking at Qiuqiu with probing eyes, "What's your name?"
Chiu Chiu pointed to her own nose and squatted down in front of Shao Fangyu, "You..."
"Hmm?" Shao Fangyu's interest was piqued; this chubby girl looked a bit silly. "What?"
"Mud... Father!"
"Mud Butterfly?" Shao Fangyu frowned. What a strange name! But he quickly realized, "Your father? You, you little beast... Hiss!"
"Smack!"
Chuchu shook her hand, puffed out her cheeks, and snorted coldly at Shao Fangyu. After thinking for a moment, she still felt that he was being very impolite, so she raised her chubby little foot and stomped hard on his foot.
Don't let his young age fool you, he's got real strength. He stomped on Shao Fangyu so hard he almost made his idiot brother vomit.
Chirp chirped sternly, "I haven't taught you anything yet."
"You're saying I'm ill-mannered?" Shao Fangyu struggled twice but couldn't get up, so he headbutted Qiuqiu. The clumsy but free-spirited Qiuqiu slowly took a step back in defiance.
[Can't hit it!]
She took another step forward, [Hehe, go ahead and hit me.]
Just as Shao Fangyu was about to pounce, she stepped back, "You can't hit me!"
Hehe, go ahead and hit me!
[Can't hit it!]
Thirteen has pressed Shao Fangyu's pressure points, and he can't move now. It's safe for Qiuqiu to play with him however she wants.
The two ignored her and discussed their next plan.
Children of this age are naturally active and playful. She made provocative gestures towards Shao Fangyu, teasing him. Shao Fangyu, not one to tolerate such behavior, was furious with Qiuqiu but felt helpless.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. His mind went blank, and finally, everything went black as he collapsed heavily to the ground.
"Whoa!" Chiu Chiu hurriedly ran behind her older brother and hid. "I'm going to die."
"Chirp, chirp... It's so annoying."
Chiu Chiu tilted her head back, wondering whether her older brother would praise or scold her next. This person seemed quite important. She didn't want to be scolded.
Shao Fangyu's chest was still rising and falling slightly; he wasn't breathing, but had simply fainted from anger caused by Qiuqiu.
Su Jinze was starting to have trouble understanding the Shao family. Their narrow-mindedness showed they were incapable of achieving anything significant. If the son wasn't smart, how good could the father be?
What's even more tragic is that this group of despicable people have pushed the people of Yuncheng into the mire.
"Never mind him, go play, Chiu Chiu."
Chiu Chiu, having done something wrong, tiptoed away, her furtive figure giving off a somewhat pitiful air.
Su Jinze shook his head helplessly. Thirteen, who had already gotten the information from the group, ran back and said, "If everyone were like Qiuqiu, the world would be at peace."
"Like a chirp?" Su Jinze was surprised; he never dared to imagine such a thing.
"Let's get down to business. What can we possibly get out of those people?"
Thirteen's real job isn't being a babysitter or a stay-at-home dad; he's also a master at interrogation. It's no exaggeration to say that, aside from Chuchu's mouth, given enough time, he'll definitely be able to get some information out of her.
As for why Qiuqiu is special, it's because Qiuqiu doesn't need to be interrogated; all her thoughts are written on her face.
Chirp, I sensed something was wrong. I glanced back at them. [Those naughty ones are definitely talking bad about me again. I'm not playing with them anymore, I'm going to find Daddy.]
Chirp staggered away, and the two only breathed a sigh of relief after they were sure that Chirp had really left.
Su Jinze patted Thirteen's shoulder, "Next time, be a little more careful when you speak behind Qiuqiu's back."
Thirteen rolled her eyes at him, "Don't you know your sister is elusive and unpredictable!"
"Alright, alright, let's get down to business."
They were also helpless about Chiu Chiu's special ability to appear anywhere silently.
Isn't it a fish? Why does it walk like a cat without making a sound!
"Those people were servants from the Shao family. The one we arrested really is Shao Xin's eldest son. It's said that Shao Fangyu somehow got hold of a mysterious note saying we were here, and Shao Fangyu wanted to steal the credit, so he brought them here first."
Su Jinze nodded repeatedly, then it matched up. "By the way, how many children does Shao Xin have?"
“Three. We arrested the eldest son, Shao Fangyu, and a son and a daughter. However…” Thirteen nodded, “There’s something wrong with Shao Fangyu. So we don’t know much about his family, but they say Shao Xin really likes this son.”
If Shao Xin likes this son, then things will be much easier.
When two sneaky people get together, they're bound to cause trouble.
The formation in the courtyard was activated, and Qiuqiu and the others were left here.
Su Jinze still decided to take Shao Fangyu away. Su Gui harbored deep hatred for the Shao family, a sentiment echoed by Qiu Qiu's earlier words. Su Gui had half-Shao family blood flowing through his veins, concealing a dark side. Leaving Shao Fangyu in his sight would inevitably lead to trouble.
When they brought Shao Fangyu back to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, Gao Wenyan was already waiting for a long time. The moment he saw the Shadow Guard return, he rushed out, "Where's Qiuqiu? Where's Miss Yun?"
"They disappeared last night!"
He woke up to find that both the big one and the little one were gone, which terrified him so much that he almost died there.
"Thirteen, did they go looking for you? Where are they?" Gao Wenyan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing around Thirteen. "Chiu Chiu is so small that she might not even be noticed if she stood in front of someone, but it's different for Miss Yun. It's dangerous for a young lady to go out so late."
Su Jinze felt dizzy and asked Thirteen, "Who is this Miss Yun he mentioned...?"
“Yun Shuyue, your cousin.” Thirteen knew what he wanted to ask and nodded to confirm again.
"Yun Shuyue?! Yun Shuyue is going out at night, it's others who should be scared!" Su Jinze almost didn't recognize the "Miss Yun" that Gao Wenyan was talking about. He waved his hand to tell Gao Wenyan to shut up, "Don't worry, she's fine."
"Everything's alright?" Gao Wenyan raised his voice unconsciously. "Then something must have happened?"
"What happened to her? Where is she? General Su, Miss Yun is your cousin, please take care of her."
Su Jinze bypassed Gao Wenyan, that pedantic scholar, and the art of pedantry and wordplay was fully embodied in him.
He still knows that she's not his cousin!
Su Jinze took two steps and then stopped. "Oh no! There are many people in the yard!"
Gao Wenyan, who had been left at the back, finally remembered the important matter: "The Crown Prince's men have arrived!"
"Reinforcements have already purchased Yuncheng and are stationed there!"
Su Jinze asked him, "Who is it?"
"The general also knows him; he is the commander of the Imperial Guards, Lord Gao."
"Gao Xun?" Su Jinze asked, puzzled. "The Imperial Guards are responsible for His Majesty's safety. Why would the Crown Prince summon Lord Gao to Yuncheng?"
"You'll have to ask Lord Gao yourself about that."
Where are the others?
"Wait for Chuchu to come back."
Su Jinze strongly suspected that Gao Xun was not sent by the Crown Prince, but was after Qiuqiu!
