Chapter 368 Trapped
Zhao Zemo is a man with vicious means and a cruel heart.
Qin Qixuan really experienced these two descriptions of him tonight.
He is not afraid of gangsters, but he is afraid of such smart, powerful, and ruthless gangsters.
Qin Qixuan felt Wen Yanya's fear, so he stood beside her and blocked Zhao Zemo's sight.
Qin Qixuan was not sure whether Zhao Zemo knew who they were.
So he looked at the gloomy Zhao Zemo and said tentatively.
"Zhao Zemo, you dare to rob a woman in broad daylight. We are from the underworld. We cannot stand your behavior."
Although Zhao Zemo's reputation among the people is much better than Tong Chuanqiong's, it is not much better. His reputation of torturing women and liking violence also makes many people terrified.
Qin Qixuan said this, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, but Zhao Zemo sneered and exposed it mercilessly.
"Young Master Qin and Young Master Qin, stop pretending. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it was you two who brought well-trained guards to my mansion to snatch someone. And you still say you are from the martial arts world? I have seen many people from the martial arts world who wanted to kill me, but no one of them could reach my Jinan Palace safely. They almost took the girl out of my Jinan Palace."
"Apart from the aristocratic families in the capital, who else can train guards as skilled as warriors? And apart from your Qin family, who else dares to snatch someone from me, Zhao Zemo?"
Zhao Zemo had already noticed their whereabouts when Qin Qixuan and the others arrived at Wen Yanya's room. Outside Wen Yanya's room, there were many guards, not only patrol guards in the open, but also secret guards in the dark.
The reason why they didn't expose their tricks was to see what Qin Qixuan wanted to do. But unexpectedly, Qin Qixuan wanted to take Wen Yanya away as soon as he came up. Zhao Zemo stopped them.
And I wonder if the two young masters of the Qin family like this scene where hope is right in front of them but is shattered in an instant?
When Qin Qixuan heard what Zhao Zemo said, he immediately realized that Zhao Zemo was watching the two of them acting here. So he stopped pretending immediately.
"Whether we are people of the martial arts world or not, Master Zhao, as the prince of Daliang, openly robbed women on the street, and his behavior of stealing people's love is a nail in the stone."
Zhao Zemo sneered, as if he was laughing at Qin Qixuan's naivety. If he really cared about his reputation, why would he do these things and go in and out of Qingfeng Tower every day?
Even if his own reputation was ruined, so what? There are still women who rush to his Jinnan Palace. Others still have to give him three points of courtesy because of his power.
If it were someone else, Zhao Zemo would definitely torture them so that they could not leave the Jinnan Palace, but the two people in front of him were the sons of the imperial merchant Qin family. Although Zhao Zemo has the power to deal with them, he is also afraid of trouble.
Moreover, Zhao Zemo really liked Wen Yanya and didn't want to let her go.
"If you two leave Wen Yanya here, I will treat it as if you have never entered Jinnan Palace today, and Jinnan Palace will not hold you responsible."
What he meant was that if Wen Yanya was handed over, Qin Qixuan and the others could get away with it.
The moment Wen Yanya saw Zhao Zemo, her hope was shattered. She didn't want to implicate Qin Qixuan and the others. She was already very grateful that Qin Qixuan and the others were able to rush to rescue her. She couldn't let the Qin family offend Jinnan Palace because of her and ruin Qin Qixuan's future.
But Wen Yanya was stopped by Qin Qixuan as soon as she took a step out.
Qin Qixuan's face was completely devoid of smiles at this time. He looked at Zhao Zemo coldly. He was going to take Wen Yanya away today no matter what.
"Yes, I am the eldest son of the Qin family. So what? Wen Yanya is my fiancée. As long as I am still here, you can't keep Wen Yanya in the Jinnan Palace no matter what."
Wen Yanya couldn't stop the tears in her eyes. She tried to cover her mouth, not wanting to make a sound to affect Qin Qixuan.
In fact, Qin Qixuan was able to come to save her today, and Wen Yanya was already satisfied in her heart. If the situation was not right later, Wen Yanya would rather sacrifice her own life to protect Qin Qixuan and others.
Hearing Qin Qixuan reveal his identity, Zhao Zemo smiled sarcastically.
"Qin Qixuan, Qin Qixuan, you originally had a bright future. My sister liked you, but you refused to become my brother-in-law."
"Now you are overestimating yourself and trying to snatch a woman from me. You are really naive."
Zhao Zemo asked his men to put a chair here, and looked at the group of people leisurely. The people under the second brother looked well-trained. If they were ordinary servants, their skills would be too strong, so. Zhao Zemo judged that they should be the soldiers under the second brother.
These soldiers were able to enter the mansion for the second brother, so they must be his confidants, otherwise they would not take such risks. Compared to letting the two of them die directly, Zhao Zemo prefers to see the drama of brothers killing each other. Compared
to torturing a person's body, Zhao Zemo still likes to torture a person's mind more.
So, he pointed at the people beside the second brother and asked with pretended curiosity.
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be from the army of the second young master of the Qin family, right? I don't know what you were thinking, to follow the second young master Qin to my Jinnan Palace... Don't you know that he has a way out, but you don't?"
"It's really touching that you risk your life for others but don't care about your own life. I don't know if you still have a future? Is there anyone to take care of your wives and children at home? If no one, I might as well take care of them for you! Hahahaha..."
Zhao Zemo's words were vicious, coupled with his somewhat sarcastic expression, the second brother couldn't help but clench his fists, a little angry.
Qin Qixuan grabbed the second brother in time and shook his head at him. He knew in his heart that Zhao Zemo just wanted to see them laugh and deliberately spoke to anger them.
However, Zhao Zemo's words did hit the nail on the head for their predicament. The two of them were trapped here. At least Zhao Zemo didn't dare to kill them. But if these soldiers continued to stalemate, it would be bad if Zhao Zemo held a grudge against them or was dealt with by his men at will.
"Second brother, take your men and go first. We can't let these soldiers stay here because of our private affairs and affect their future."
"Everything that happened tonight is just my personal matter. I also want to rescue Xiaoya. It has nothing to do with you."
Qin Qixuan was very calm and just urged the second brother to take the soldiers away quickly, but the second brother was a little hesitant. If he left, only Wen Yanya and Qin Qixuan would be left in the Jinnan Palace. He didn't want to leave his eldest brother alone here.
Zhao Zemo seemed to find it funny and sneered again.
