Chapter 269 They've been caught
Jingfeng appears like a gust of wind, and leaves like a ghost.
To be honest, Chiu Chiu was quite scared.
Murder will land you in jail!
Good children should arrest bad people and let the grandpas and uncles from the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice behead them!
Chirp points in the direction of home: "Home!"
[Go home and call for help!]
Granny Cui had been keeping these little devils company all day. Just now, a strange man arrived, and the children's faces changed after he got out of the carriage. They wouldn't say what happened, insisting on going to find the guards of the Marquis of Wenyang's family.
There was no other way but to go to the Marquis of Wenyang's residence.
The Marquis's residence and the pastry shop were only one street apart, and despite going in and out every day, Qiuqiu had never encountered Jingfeng. Why he hadn't died, why he was in the capital, and why he was helping her deliver messages—she knew nothing of any of it.
The most urgent task is to find Thirteen!
Chuchu scrambled to find Thirteen, who was practicing his inner energy. The moment Thirteen opened his eyes, he was startled by Chuchu's magnified face. He cupped Chuchu's face in his large hand and pushed her back, saying, "Stay away, it's scary."
[This is scary? There's something even scarier!]
Thirteen wondered, what could be scarier than Chirp's sudden, startled reactions?
It turns out that it really does exist!
If he knew Jing Feng was still alive, would he faint on the spot? Thirteen is very timid.
Thirteen nearly bit his tongue in frustration and immediately pressed, "Where did you go today? Who did you meet?"
Chirp spread its arms and flapped them, "Wind."
"What kind of moth-like posture are you adopting?" Thirteen complained, wondering why no one had taught her how to speak properly. "You mean you saw Jingfeng? He's not dead yet?"
If Jing Feng isn't dead, why doesn't he come looking for me?
"Where did he go?"
Don't let Jing Feng's innocent-looking baby face fool you; this old man is actually incredibly cunning and treacherous. If he wanted to hide, no one could find him. The fact that he's revealed himself to Qiu Qiu means something must have happened!
He was anxious, but Qiuqiu was even more anxious than him. This matter concerned her life and the lives of others!
Come on, let's translate!
Lu Diandian made a dazzling entrance, stating succinctly: "Uncle, someone wants to kill Qiuqiu, and my brother has gone to avenge her."
Thirteen:"???"
He almost died of anger from Lu Diandian. Looking at this silly child, he was truly envious that she had met the current version of himself. If it were the hot-tempered Thirteen from a year ago, he would have given her a complete childhood long ago.
"Little girl, you call a forty-year-old man 'brother,' but I, a twenty-year-old man in my prime and as beautiful as a flower, 'uncle'?"
Lu Diandian asked in confusion, "Huh? It doesn't seem like it!"
Thirteen:"……"
Chiu Chiu squeezed between the two, spreading her arms to create space between them. Was this the time to discuss such trivial matters?
"Isn't my life a life too?!"
Thirteen calmly rubbed Qiuqiu's round little face until it was deformed before letting go. "Little darling, you don't suit such a serious expression."
He must think this is some big deal; he doesn't know which reckless person could make Jing Feng personally intervene. But if someone dares to be so audacious as to try and take Qiu Qiu's life, then they deserve it!
Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Qiuqiu became a little anxious. She disliked this ancient system of blaming others for disregarding life. The clan chief said that bad people should be handed over to the police!
The police officers here...
"Uncle He!"
Uncle He? Thirteen frowned. Could it be Lord He from the Court of Judicial Review?
"You mean you don't want that person to die, but instead want to hand him over to the Dali Temple for interrogation?"
Chirp chirp nodded emphatically: "Yes!"
"I didn't expect you to be such a law-abiding child." Thirteen wanted to reward her with a little red flower. "You're overthinking it. Jing Feng never kills anyone."
It means the other party would probably rather be dead.
Thirteen led the three cubs and the cat back into the house, and then went to the Su family to tell them about the assassination attempt on Qiuqiu.
The family members reacted differently, but the only question they had in common was: who was it that wanted to harm Chuchu?
Su Junyao: "To outsiders, Qiuqiu is just a child. Who would go to the trouble of harming her? Even if they wanted to take revenge on the Marquis's mansion, there are plenty of options. Picking any one of them would be better than harming Qiuqiu!"
The four sons, standing side by side, were speechless.
There's absolutely no need for that!
Thirteen: "Jingfeng will probably torture the person beyond recognition and then bring them back. Keep an eye on the movements in the manor."
Thirteen wasn't quite sure of Jing Feng's true strength either, only remembering a saying his father had once said—"He becomes stronger when facing stronger opponents!"
It is said that he learned the art of death, a reckless fighting style, and the stronger the opponent, the stronger he becomes.
Thirteen wasn't worried about his safety, but she was afraid of scaring Qiuqiu and the others.
Thinking this, Zhu Niang rushed in in a panic: "Master, Madam, there's a blood-soaked person in Miss's courtyard!"
Everyone was incredulous at Jing Feng's speed, and after their initial surprise, they all ran towards Qiu Qiu's courtyard.
Don't scare the kids too badly!
Thirteen, quick as a flash, grabbed the twins by the collar. "You two, stay out of this and go back to your room!"
When everyone arrived at Qiuqiu's courtyard, everything was peaceful, and they didn't see the bloody person that Zhu Niang had mentioned.
Yun Jinglan asked worriedly, "Zhu Niang, what about the blood-soaked person you mentioned? What about Qiu Qiu and the princess?"
Sobbing, Zhu Niang replied, "Miss and Princess were playing with beads in the room. How could I dare let her see such a bloody scene!"
"As for that blood-covered man..." Zhu Niang sniffed, looking frightened. "Madam, that blood-covered man was so scary. I dragged him to the backyard. I don't know if he's still alive. If he's not, A-Lian has probably buried him by now."
The room fell silent upon hearing this.
Her crying and sobbing made people think she had been buried alive!
Just then, a furious roar of confusion came from the backyard: "Where are the people I captured?"
Thirteen: "Oh no! Ah Lian is still in the backyard!"
In the backyard, A-Lian carried a hoe, with a shovel at her feet. She quietly watched the frantic Jing-Feng and pointed to the ground beneath his feet: "It was just buried."
Jingfeng went to wash his hands and his house was burgled.
He glared at Ah Lian with annoyance: "You dig it out for me!"
A-Lian glanced behind Jing Feng and immediately ran towards Yun Jinglan and the others, putting on a beautiful but tearful act: "Madam, there are bad people!"
Before A-Lian could even get close, Zhu-Niang shoved her aside and picked up a shovel to start digging, yelling as she did so, "You brainless idiot! He was still breathing when I left, how could you bury him like that!"
"How dare you bully our Miss Qiuqiu? Even if she's dead, I'll dig her up and whip her corpse!"
Jing Feng's lips twitched, his gaze towards Thirteen filled with pity. So this is what life is like for this kid in the Marquis's mansion!
Zhu Niang and A Lian worked together to dig out the blood-soaked person who had just been buried. This person was only frightening because he was covered in blood; in reality, he was not in any danger of dying.
Jing Feng stood aside with his arms crossed: "I know Qiu Qiu won't let me kill anyone, so I'll spare your lives."
Yun Jinglan glanced at the strange man a few more times: "You know our Qiuqiu very well?"
Jing Feng smiled but didn't say anything. He'd been observing this little brat from the shadows for so long; how could he not understand her?
"Alright, I've captured the man for you. Do with him as you please. I have other things to do, so I'm leaving now."
"stop!"
