He even wondered if this woman might have a split personality.
Just then, there was a rapid knocking on the door.
Zheng Dan frowned and said coldly, "What is it?"
Ya Xiao's voice rang out from outside the door: "Chief, news has come from the island that there is an important matter to discuss, and you are requested to return to the island."
Zheng Dan put her veil back on, walked over and opened the door: "Did you say what the news is?"
Ya Xiao shook his head and handed over a note: "It didn't say anything, it just told you to return quickly."
“Then let’s go back and take a look first,” Zheng Dan said in a deep voice. Generally speaking, since she had been playing the role of Miss Zheng in the city for a long time, people on the island wouldn’t come looking for her like this unless there was an emergency.
However, she wasn't too worried. The two sides had already agreed on some secret codes. Although the message was urgent, it wasn't the kind of information that was extremely urgent. There shouldn't be any danger on the island.
It must be some business deal or major decision that requires her approval; such things have happened quite often over the years.
Zheng Danshun pointed at Zu'an: "Bring him along too."
Zuan looked frustrated. He had indeed come today to investigate the Giant Whale Gang leader and their hideout, but he had found everything, albeit in this way…
It's really hard to be happy.
Ya Xiao frowned and couldn't help but make a gesture: "It's not very convenient for us to move around in the city with one person. Why don't we find a place to kill this Plum Blossom Gang lackey?"
Zheng Dan glared at him: "Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"
Ya Xiao broke out in a cold sweat instantly and hurriedly said, "This subordinate wouldn't dare!"
Zuan secretly gave him a thumbs up. He was majestic and domineering, truly worthy of being the leader of a gang.
However, she was so different from the gentle girl I remembered.
Zuan was quickly covered with a black cloth bag, and then he could vaguely feel himself being put into a carriage. The journey was bumpy, and it seemed like he changed carriages four or five times before finally calming down.
Feeling the waves crashing against him, he knew he had been placed on the ship.
He had thought that Zheng Dan would come to find him and perhaps untie him.
To his surprise, the other party never showed any interest in him from beginning to end. He was alone in the hold, as if he had been forgotten.
"Damn, are they worried I'll remember the way to the Giant Whale Gang?"
Zuan suddenly calmed down. This proved that the other party did not want to kill him. Otherwise, if he had really seen it, he would have had no choice but to silence him.
However, he immediately realized that he already knew Zheng Dan's identity, so how could she let him go?
While he was struggling with this decision, Zheng Dan at the bow of the boat was also struggling with it.
The gentle breeze on the river did nothing to dispel the slightest bit of her agitation, because she couldn't figure out how to deal with the other person either.
She hadn't expected to suddenly meet Zu An at Yipin Restaurant. When she noticed him twitching his nostrils, she knew he must have recognized her. She didn't have time to think and could only act.
It's all that guy's fault for doing bad things to her at the academy. It made her so anxious and hesitant when she was disguising herself that she forgot to change the scent of her perfume. Normally, she would never make such a basic mistake.
What to do next is a real headache. Letting him go is definitely not an option, since he already knows his identity. Once exposed, not only will he and the Giant Whale Gang face annihilation, but the entire Zheng family will also be doomed.
But killing him seems a bit of a waste.
Forget it, let's see if we can get the information about those IOUs out of him first.
It wasn't just the Plum Blossom Gang's seven million taels; the gambling dens secretly owned by the Zheng family also owed him five hundred thousand taels!
He had tried to use his charms several times before, but not only did he not get any information, he almost got himself into trouble and suffered huge losses.
So this time we'll change our strategy. Since the soft approach isn't working, we'll try the hard approach.
Under severe torture, this guy might just confess...
Both of them were preoccupied with their own thoughts, and before they knew it, the ship had arrived at Whale Island.
Zuan was also brought down, the black hood over his head was removed, and he finally saw the light again.
He was on a small island. He looked around and saw that the surrounding area was vast and misty, with no end in sight. He thought to himself that the Mingyue River was quite large, and that there was such a place. It made him feel like the Liangshan Marsh that stretched for eight hundred miles.
"Master, should this man be taken to prison?" Ya Xiao asked for instructions.
Zheng Dan hesitated for a moment: "Bring it with me."
She was a little worried about what might happen after he left her sight. The Giant Whale Gang was full of rough men, and it would be troublesome if one of them suddenly lost his temper and chopped her up.
She figured it wouldn't take long to deal with the island's issues anyway, and she could settle accounts with him later.
The group continued walking towards the council hall. Just as they were about to arrive, a mocking voice suddenly rang out: "Oh dear, what a stroke of luck! Isn't this Zu An, the live-in son-in-law of the Chu family? Didn't you have many experts protecting you? How did you end up in this situation?"
