Chapter 380 I've Met Him
It has been a long time since then, and Jiang Zhiyue thought she would forget every detail of that period of time, but unexpectedly the impression became more and more profound.
She remembered the murderous intent emanating from the masked thug who was leading the group when he pointed his gun at her. It seemed to be exactly the same as the look Chu Xiao gave her.
If the second branch of the Chu family had some connection with the thugs in the three states, how could Chu Junyue quell the riots?
Chu's father died early, and the network of contacts in the three states had long been controlled by the second branch of the Chu family. Chu Junyue used iron-blooded means to suppress local illegal forces, which had caused dissatisfaction among senior officials.
The fact that the former police chief was wrongfully imprisoned was revealed once again, and the Chu family was caught in deep trouble. After all, this matter fell within the Chu family's jurisdiction, and they could not escape the blame for such a huge mistake.
Chu Junyue has to be responsible for the current Chu family, and even more so for the previous Chu family. It was Old Man Chu who governed the three states in the past. He must give a satisfactory explanation on behalf of Old Man Chu.
Otherwise, Mr. Chu's reputation would be affected, and he could not stay out of it.
A single move can affect the entire body. Chu Junyue handed over Director Zhong's information to her without reservation and sent someone to secretly escort Zhong Ren back. Zhong Ren almost died after being poisoned, so the news was blocked in time and a private medical team was mobilized to rescue him.
Chu Junyue knew that everything he did would lay hidden dangers for the future. The more he did, the deeper he would be trapped in this storm, unable to extricate himself, but he still did not hesitate.
Jiang Zhiyue couldn't deceive her own eyes.
Some feelings are like tangled silk threads, making people hesitate between reason and emotion.
Chu Junyue once firmly chose the former, but finally stepped into the latter.
It's Jiang Zhiyue's turn now.
If we get evidence of the collusion between the second branch of the Chu family and the thugs...
The girl's eyes were calm, and even the hostility in them had quietly disappeared. She said, "I heard from Brother Huai'an that Master Chu Xiao is an excellent rider, and he always wins first place in the hunting ground every year."
"I wonder who is better than Master Qin?"
She asked with a smile, glancing behind the man. The milky white color hidden in the woods looked very much like the hem of Bai Yanzhu's clothes.
It seemed like someone was hiding in the distance, eavesdropping on the movements ahead, but afraid of being discovered.
Soon, Jiang Zhiyue saw the answer from the other person's face. Chu Xiao's expression suddenly changed the moment he heard Qin Si's name.
An indescribable emotion, perhaps jealousy would be more appropriate to describe it.
His emotions are extremely complicated. He wants to protect his beloved girl from the wind and rain, eliminate all dangers for her, and help her fulfill her wish.
As for how Jiang Zhiyue discovered it, it was Sheng Huaian who mentioned it unintentionally. He saw Chu Xiao eating with a woman in a restaurant, and her figure looked very much like Bai Yanzhu.
When he got closer, he found that it was not Bai Yanzhu, but the marriage partner arranged for him by the Chu family. Although these families were not as prominent as the Chu family, they were enough to match his identity as an illegitimate child.
Baek Yeon-joo is the dream girl of all the boys in Brandenburg, so you can imagine how popular she is.
Even if Chu Xiao was dissatisfied with her because of Chu Junyue, he would not express this hostility so openly in the presence of Xiao Jingrun.
Unless he is eager to prove something.
The result of the test was more satisfactory than expected. Jiang Zhiyue's purpose was not this. She tightly grasped the bow and arrow in her hand and suddenly pulled the reins.
The little hand just happened to rest on the back of Xiao Jingrun's hand. The unintentional touch made both of them stunned.
Jiang Zhiyue quickly let go, Xiao Jingrun unconsciously clenched his hands, and then loosened the reins.
He didn't say anything. His noble and unparalleled figure stood out against the girl in front of him. With every word Jiang Zhiyue said, Xiao Jingrun's gaze became more intimidating.
"The nobles of Brandenberg have always had a special liking for purple foxes, especially noble girls. Last century, some nobles used purple foxes as precious gifts to win the hearts of beautiful women."
Jiang Zhiyue added, "I also want to participate in today's hunting activity, so I can just repay this favor."
As soon as she finished speaking, before Chu Xiao could react, he saw the girl whip the horse, and the horse raised its head and neighed loudly. Originally heading away, the white horse suddenly changed direction and ran towards the hunting ground.
No one understood Jiang Zhiyue's thoughts, only Xiao Jingrun remained silent and curled his lips silently.
.....
Chu Xiao quickly understood what Jiang Zhiyue was going to do.
Compared to the cruel act of hunting purple foxes, the way to capture the love of a noble girl is to catch a live purple fox and give it to the beauty as a gift.
It sounds like Jiang Zhiyue is planning to help Qin Si hunt the purple fox and give it to Bai Yanzhu. This is the best way for them to dispel the rumors in public.
In public, if Qin Siruo refused to accept it, since he really had some feelings for Jiang Zhiyue, he would definitely not bear to put her in the spotlight.
If Qin Si accepted it and handed it over to Bai Yanzhu, even if it was Jiang Zhiyue's credit, the man's actions alone would make Bai Yanzhu feel much better.
So all this work by Chu Xiao was in vain?
Chu Xiao naturally couldn't agree. He didn't want to be inferior, especially to be embarrassed in front of his beloved woman and lose to Qin Si.
He even wanted to make public the secret feelings hidden in his heart. How could he let it go if Qin Si and Bai Yanzhu confessed their love in front of him?
There was a whirring sound in the woods.
In the dense forest, only the crisp sound of horse hooves could be heard. Jiang Zhiyue was riding on a horse, controlling the reins very skillfully and maintaining the most standard posture. She did not look like a beginner.
She suddenly joined the hunting ground, and several noble girls were frightened when they saw her. When they saw Xiao Jingrun on horseback, their heartbeats accelerated and almost jumped out of their throats.
Jiang Zhiyue's focus was on Chu Xiao who was chasing closely. In the jungle, a purple fox was faintly jumping around. Jiang Zhiyue's goal was to capture it alive.
Chu Xiao's purpose was to hunt. The man was very skilled. His archery speed, fierce eyes, and ferocious facial expression were remarkable.
And that look, the sharp murderous intent cast towards Jiang Zhiyue through the air.
Jiang Zhiyue accepted it all. She bent the bow and drew the arrow faster than a man, and shot away to block Chu Xiao's hunting.
After several rounds of competition between the two, it was found that Chu Xiao was not only skilled in martial arts, but also obviously stronger. His last arrow shot directly into the white horse's tail.
Immediately, a long, tearing neigh came from the white horse. Jiang Zhiyue did not move, still holding the reins steadily.
At this moment, Xiao Jingrun grabbed her hand and whispered, "You are testing him."
There is no better opportunity than now to observe Chu Xiao's skills from a closer distance.
Jiang Zhiyue didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if it meant exposing herself to danger, she wanted to verify her guess.
"The civil unrest in the three states was caused by the Chu family. They are the thugs." She said, "I have seen Chu Xiao. He is the leader of the group of masked thugs."
