The young master held Han Xiao's arm and took him to his seat.
Han Xiao looked around and found that almost everyone was there, even Yan Hu was there, but he was standing at the back, his eyes evasive when he looked at Han Xiao.
Han Xiao tapped the table lightly with his fingers. Ruan Xiuran spoke first, "Brother Han, what have you encountered these days?"
In fact, I have just heard the young master give some general information, but the young master himself cannot explain the details clearly, so I can only wait for Han Xiao to wake up and ask Han Xiao.
"Ruanruan and I are fine, as long as you guys are okay." Han Xiao knew that both Chuyi and Shiwu and Xing Yi were prepared to die to protect Han Xiao and the young master's escape.
However, just when Han Xiao took the young master into the mountains, the killers put all their main forces into searching for Han Xiao in order to hunt him down.
Only a few small fry were left to deal with Xing Yi, Chu Yi and the other three, but both Xing Yi and Chu Yi were trained killing machines, especially Shiwu, most of these killers died at Shiwu's hands.
Xing Yi was stunned and never dared to underestimate this seemingly not-so-bright servant again.
After dealing with the remaining killers, the three followed the traces left by the killers into the mountains, hoping to find Han Xiao before them.
But Xing Yi's injuries were too severe, especially the cut on his waist and abdomen. If he hadn't moved quickly and dodged it, Han Xiao would have seen Xing Yi cut in two.
Xing Yi was injured, and Shiwu could no longer control his desire to kill. Chuyi had no choice but to knock Shiwu unconscious and take Xing Yi to a safe place.
When Chuyi wanted to find Han Xiao again, he had missed the best opportunity. He could only grit his teeth and wait for Lu Ming to bring people to support and take the two seriously injured people away.
He then took Chu Jinglin's men to search in the mountains. Like Zhang Shaoqi, they searched almost the entire mountain but could not find Han Xiao and the other man.
It was the little beggar sent by Yan Hu who brought the message, saying that Zhang Shaoqi had captured a girl who helped Han Xiao escape and gave Lu Qingyun an address.
Lu Qingyun was skeptical and quickly sent people to the cave to look for Han Xiao, but they only found traces of Han Xiao and his friends' life, without a single person in sight.
Then, when expanding the search range, he met Yan Hu, who was carrying Li Cui'er and fleeing for his life. From Yan Hu, he learned that Zhang Shaoqi had found Han Xiao by accident.
After sending someone to settle the two people, Lu Qingyun and Ruan Xiuran did not dare to delay any longer and rode their horses in the direction Yan Hu pointed.
Unfortunately, it was still a step too late. They could only see Han Xiao falling off the cliff. Fortunately, the cliff was not high and there was running water below. Although it was turbulent, no one would die.
In this way, both sides followed the water to look for Han Xiao. Han Xiao was rescued by Chen Dazhu in Changhe Village, and then asked Chen Dazhu to find the manager of Yipinlou, and then they got in touch again.
Ruan Xiuran simply recounted the whole story, and Han Xiao smiled bitterly. It turned out that there were so many coincidences involved.
If we had resisted a little longer, so many things wouldn't have happened.
"How is Li Cui'er?" Han Xiao asked, thinking of her.
He and the young master were able to survive thanks to Li Cui'er, so Han Xiao felt a little guilty when he heard that Li Cui'er was tortured by Zhang Shaoqi.
Yan Hu stood up and said, "Brother Han... no, Master Han, Master Lu has already sent someone to treat Cui'er's injuries, and she is now fine."
Han Xiao nodded and said, "Thank you so much for this, Brother Yan. I never thought that our meeting would be like this after our separation that day."
Seeing Han Xiao's wry smile, Yan Hu's forehead was covered with cold sweat. "Don't say that, Mr. Han, you are a noble man. I should thank you for the 100 taels of silver and the horse. If I hadn't returned it then, I would have lost a layer of skin."
This is also the reason why Yan Hu had to sell Li Cui'er to a brothel. Li Sheng's money was borrowed from him, and if Li Sheng could not pay it back, he would have to bear part of it. So Han Xiao's one hundred taels solved a big problem for Yan Hu.
As the saying goes, Han Xiao gave him one hundred taels of silver, and this time he also helped Han Xiao a lot.
"Brother Yan, there's no need to be so polite. We said that day that you and I are brothers. What's more, you have saved my life."
Yan Hu saw that Han Xiao didn't seem to be lying. In their line of work, one must be proficient in the ability to read people's expressions. Since Han Xiao said so, he no longer refused.
He continued to affectionately call Han Xiao "Brother Han", and Han Xiao felt much more comfortable hearing it. In his opinion, although Yan Hu did some bad things, he was still a man who valued friendship and loyalty.
Just look at how he risked his life to save Li Cui'er and you will know that he could have easily defected to Zhang Shaoqi and had wealth and glory at his fingertips. However, he still betrayed Zhang Shaoqi, and now he can't even go back to his old boss.
Han Xiao thought of this and asked softly, "I wonder what Brother Yan thinks of Zhang Shaoqi?"
Speaking of Zhang Shaoqi, Yan Hu's expression became serious, and Ruan Xiuran and Lu Qingyun also sat up straight.
None of them have had much contact with Zhang Shaoqi, and the person who is most familiar with Zhang Shaoqi here is Yan Hu.
"Young Master Zhang... no, Zhang Shaoqi. I think he's just like the other rich kids I've met. But there's one thing that's strange: he really listens to the words of a middle-aged man next to him."
Zhang Shaoqi and Han Xiao had only met once or twice, so they couldn't tell much about each other. However, he really had no impression of the middle-aged man Yan Hu mentioned.
"What kind of middle-aged man is he?" Lu Qingyun asked with a frown.
Yan Hu glanced at Han Xiao, and seeing that he was calmly drinking tea, he continued, "He's a thin, middle-aged man with a scar on his face. He doesn't like to talk, but Zhang Shaoqi listens to everything he says. He practically does everything he says. He was the one who contacted my employer this time."
Lu Qingyun's expression also became serious: "There is a scar on your face. Is it a burn?"
"Yes, Mr. Lu knows him?" Yan Hu said in surprise.
"It's him. Han Xiao, you must go to the capital as soon as possible." Lu Qingyun did not answer Yan Hu's words, but turned around and spoke to Han Xiao solemnly.
"Why is this person?" Han Xiao couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw Lu Qingyun so serious.
"This man's name is Zheng Chengyun. He's an aide to the Zhang family. He's also the adopted son of the Su family. He was instrumental in the Su family's downfall. If he were here, Ruan Ruan would be in danger."
Lu Qingyun knew that Zheng Chengyun was a cruel and ruthless person. The Su family had raised him for more than 20 years, but for the sake of power, they had completely disregarded their upbringing.
When the young master heard about the Su family, his eyes widened and he murmured softly, "Why would he kill me?"
Lu Qingyun's expression turned grim. He took a deep breath and then said awkwardly, "Zheng Chengyun grew up with Su Guijun. He developed a crush on her, but the Su family disagreed and forcibly transferred him away from the capital. That's how he developed a grudge against the Su family. I'm not entirely clear on what happened next, but I'm certain this person will definitely harm Ruanruan."
After listening to Lu Qingyun, Han Xiao nodded and said, "I understand."
