At the beginning,
The group kidnapped the maid A-Cai, dismembered her body, and sent it to the inn as a show of defiance.
Then they kidnapped Black Dragon, who was investigating the truth, and used Black Dragon as a threat to obtain one hundred weapons.
Even if he ended up poisoning the Black Dragon, all of this was more about responsibility than emotion for Zhou Cheng. Since he was a member of the Zhou family, he, as the young master of the Zhou family, should take charge of whatever happened.
But Cheng Xianyi is different!
Cheng Xianyi is his fiancée, and she is the one who will unconditionally come to him no matter what happens!
For Zhou Cheng, the news of her disappearance was more about emotion than responsibility. If Cheng Xianyi were to suffer even the slightest harm, no matter who the perpetrator was, he would definitely wipe out their stronghold!
"Young master."
Black Rat frowned and analyzed, "The person who claimed to be the Pavilion Master died at our hands. Once this news gets back, the other side will definitely be furious, and Miss Cheng is probably in grave danger."
“In the handwritten letter you wrote to the head of Cheng Gui Pavilion, the adjectives on it clearly... clearly pointed to the female head of the pavilion.”
"Are those people really from Chenggui Pavilion?"
The black horse beside him chimed in, "The Wangcheng manager is here, how could it be fake? Young master, I'll go find out the whereabouts of Cheng Gui Pavilion in Yan Kingdom right away. They've offended us repeatedly, let's just wipe them out!"
"They still dare to target Miss Cheng? Kill them!"
"........"
It was at this time that...
Suddenly, a series of footsteps sounded downstairs.
At Ziyan's signal, the middle-aged soldier leading the group steeled himself and rushed up to the second floor of the inn. Looking up, he saw Zhou Cheng, radiating a chilling aura: "Young Master Zhou..."
"What are you doing here?" Black Rat asked the middle-aged soldier.
"We've brought Miss Cheng back. She's been frightened. Please go downstairs and check on her."
"Miss Cheng?!"
Where is Miss Cheng?
Black Rat and the others were extremely excited and quickly followed Zhou Cheng downstairs.
Meanwhile, Cheng Xianyi, who was outside, had already adjusted her facial expression. As Ziyan had just said, logically, she should appear distraught and terrified at this moment.
That's in line with her public persona.
Cheng Xianyi touched her face, which was covered in dust, and tucked a few stray hairs behind her cheek. She looked at the 'strategist' beside her and asked, "Is this how it is? Are you sure this is okay?"
"Yes, Master, you are truly gifted!"
"When Young Master Zhou arrives, you should rush into his arms with tears in your eyes. Then, no matter what Young Master Zhou asks, just shake your head. In short, don't say a word. Just shake your head with tears in your eyes."
Cheng Xianyi's eyes held a hint of suspicion: "You said the same thing at the official entrance of the northern route last time, telling me to be a little weak and powerless. But when Acheng left Jiangling City, he complained that I was too weak and almost didn't take me with him."
“Master, that was an accident.”
"This time the situation is different!"
“Last time you were weak and Young Master Zhou was worried you would catch a cold if you went out of the city, but this time you were kidnapped. If you act like nothing happened, what will Young Master Zhou think of you?”
"The most important thing to win a man's heart is to make him feel sorry for him!"
Cheng Xianyi's suspicion intensified: "...You said the same thing last time."
Ziyan sighed heavily.
He spoke in a low, but extremely solemn tone, "Do you want to see your identity exposed, especially when Cheng Gui Pavilion is falsely accused of being a cruel murderer?"
Cheng Xian pondered for a few seconds, then pursed her lips and shook her head.
"Do you want to get hurt or scraped in the future, only to see Young Master Zhou's nonchalant expression and say that you're strong enough that you weren't even afraid of being kidnapped, and that you can just endure this little thing?"
Cheng Xianyi frowned unhappily and shook her head again.
"That's all!"
