Meanwhile, Qin Wanru closed her eyes and awaited death, feeling somewhat relieved, at least she wouldn't be humiliated and defiled by Chu Tiesheng.
Just then, a sharp shout suddenly came from not far away: "You scoundrel, how dare you!"
Qin Wanru felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but at this moment, the effects of the drug were taking hold, and she was already somewhat delirious, so she couldn't react at all to who it was.
Hong Zhong was startled and hurriedly turned around to look in the direction of the sound, only to be met with a large rock.
He smashed the large rock to pieces with a single punch, then suddenly turned around to look at Qin Wanru, only to find that there was a man beside her.
Upon noticing the restriction on her body, Zu'an hurriedly removed it. Fortunately, Hong Zhong did not use any special methods, and it was not difficult to remove.
As the drug took effect, Qin Wanru could no longer hold on once the acupoints were released. Her legs went weak and she collapsed to the side.
"Madam, be careful!" Zu'an quickly helped her up.
Feeling herself being held in a man's arms, the masculine aura made her panic. She wanted to struggle but couldn't move her body. However, she quickly recognized the man and instantly relaxed: "Ah Zu, it's you..."
Having experienced various betrayals and deceptions tonight, she thought she would never trust anyone again.
But now, lying in Zuan's arms, she felt a strange sense of peace, and she didn't understand why she felt this way.
Perhaps it was the daughter's words of advice before she left, or perhaps it was the camaraderie they forged together when they went to reclaim the salt permits.
At the same time, she was filled with regret. Why did she go to Hong Zhong first? If she had gone directly to A Zu, so many troubles probably wouldn't have happened.
Zuan didn't have time to talk to her at this point. Although he was usually carefree, he was actually quite shrewd.
As the head steward of the Chu family, Hong Zhong is at least at the peak of the sixth rank, and might even be at the seventh rank.
Moreover, since they are rebelling, they will show no mercy. If you fight them, you're like an old man eating poison. Do you want to die?
So he was decisive, summoning a strong wind and rushing out with Qin Wanru in his arms.
"Huh? Why is she so hot?" Feeling the strangeness in her body, not only was she as soft as cotton, but she was also unusually hot, and she was also emitting a rich and sweet scent. Zu An was a little puzzled, but he couldn't care less about that now.
"Where are you going!" Hong Zhong exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly chased after her. If Zu An were to rescue Qin Wanru, things would get complicated.
Although Zuan's teleportation was fast, the distance he could cover each time was limited, and he couldn't use it an unlimited number of times. In addition, he was carrying someone, so Hong Zhong was still getting closer and closer despite his all-out pursuit.
Seeing that Zuan's back had entered attack range, Hong Zhong hesitated for a moment.
He wasn't a bad person, and he still felt somewhat reluctant to kill an innocent person, especially since the two of them saw each other all the time.
Just then, a sharp shout came from the side: "Hong Zhong, what are you standing there for!"
It turned out that Chu Tiesheng had already arrived. He had been blinded by lust and was almost killed by Qin Wanru's ambush.
He was seriously injured and it took him a while to recover. He hurriedly chased after them and happened to witness this scene.
Reminded by him, Hong Zhong suddenly realized that the reason his son had fallen into the abyss step by step was ultimately due to the appearance of Zu An.
Furthermore, if Qin Wanru escapes, there will be big trouble later.
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and he threw a punch directly at the other man's back.
As he threw a punch, a fist-shaped afterimage instantly formed in the air, then struck Zaun's back at incredible speed.
Zuan saw out of the corner of his eye that the other person was still some distance away, so he ran for his life and didn't notice the impending danger at all.
But Qin Wanru, who was being held in his arms, saw everything clearly and exclaimed, "Be careful!"
Then, with strength he didn't know where it came from, he struggled to get behind Zuan and took the blow for him with his back.
She didn't know why she did it, but she figured it was because she knew she was probably doomed tonight, so she might as well risk her life to save Zu'an.
This way, at least people will know the truth about what happened tonight.
Otherwise, if Zu'an had died from that punch, she, being poisoned, would have been unable to escape the tragic fate of being violated.
Even if Zu'an succeeds in taking her away, she's now under the influence of such an evil, despicable, and shameless poison. She feels an uncontrollable urge within her, and her reason is completely shattered. If something were to accidentally happen between them, it would be worse than death.
"Pfft!" Qin Wanru felt a tremendous force coming from her, and after spitting out a mouthful of blood, she felt as if she had lost all her strength, and felt as light as if she were about to be blown away by the wind.
"Madam!" Zu An's cheeks were covered in the blood spurted out by the other party, but he didn't bother to wipe it away. His heart was trembling.
Just then, Hong Zhong and Chu Tiesheng were about to catch up when a huge tree suddenly fell down, blocking their path.
After they managed to evade him, Zaun had already vanished without a trace.
"Quickly, after them!" Chu Tiesheng cried out anxiously, and hurriedly tried to rush over.
"Don't chase after him!" Hong Zhong stopped him.
"Why?" Chu Tiesheng asked, puzzled. His eyes were red as he thought of Qin Wanru, who was now suffering from the effects of the poison and was waiting for him to save her.
If we were a step too late, wouldn't that mean we'd be letting that guy Zaun get away with it?
"Didn't you hear the commotion in the manor?" Hong Zhong sneered. "The Chu family guards have already arrived. We need to figure out how to clean up the mess. We don't have time to think about those dirty things in your crotch!"
