Zhao Shi'an told Fang Qing about Gao Ren's background.
"So Gao Ren knows about this relationship between the two of you?"
"Yes, he investigated his background a long time ago."
Fang Qing also understood what Xiao Liu had just said.
Gao Wancheng had three sons, two of whom were captured by Zhao Shi'an. He was counting on Gao Ren, the only remaining and most capable son. However, if Gao Ren knew about his true parentage, he would definitely hate Gao Wancheng.
Therefore, Gao Wancheng least wanted Gao Ren to know, and Zhao Shi'an took this opportunity to threaten Gao Wancheng.
"I knew it, you two look so alike."
It turns out they are related by blood.
"But is Gao Ren worthy of complete trust?"
Zhao Shi'an picked up a steamed dumpling for Fang Qing.
“His mother, who is also my aunt, was previously imprisoned by Gao Wancheng in the Jinfo Temple in Yuzhou. I rescued her some time ago and put her in the Fengyu Tower. Gao Ren will listen to me even if it's for his mother’s sake.”
Nominally, it was for protection, but in reality, they were kept as hostages in the Wind and Rain Tower.
It turns out it was a threat too.
"No wonder Gao Ren came over to expose your shortcomings."
"There's nothing I can do. Gao Ren grew up by Gao Wancheng's side since he was a child. Even if he knows what kind of person Gao Wancheng is now, I still can't trust him completely."
Fang Qing looked at Zhao Shi'an, who was standing right in front of her and seemed completely harmless.
Even if the villain's value remains stable at fifty, there are still dangerous elements hidden deep within the villain's heart.
Fang Qing didn't have the ability to transform the ruthless villain from her previous life into a savior.
Moreover, in this situation, using some tricks is also a way to survive.
"Do you think I'm treacherous?" Zhao Shi'an suddenly asked.
Fang Qing noticed a hint of grievance in his tone and expression.
"Why do you say that? If it were me, I would have done the same."
Hearing Fang Qing say this, Zhao Shi'an's smile became much more sincere.
"Yes, I had no choice. Qing'er, if you ever find out what kind of person I am, I hope you will think of me the same way and not be truly angry with me. Sometimes I can't control myself."
"Okay, let's eat."
Fang Qing knew that Zhao Shi'an couldn't do anything too heinous at this time, so she nodded.
Just as Zhao Shi'an said, Gao Wancheng had been trying to contact Fengyulou, but Xiao Liu only met with Gao Wancheng's people after leaving them waiting for a day.
The meeting place was chosen outside the city, because most of the people from Fengyulou were unable to enter the city and had been settled outside the city for the past few days.
Gao Jie replaced Gao Wancheng in the meeting.
Gao Jie breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see Zhao Shi'an.
Her last meeting and conversation with Zhao Shi'an left a deep impression on her, and she had to admit that she was afraid of him.
Gao Jie had someone bring Fang Daniu and his wife out.
Fang Daniu and Zhao Shi were hardworking farmers all their lives, and they had never seen anything like this before. They were terrified every day and lost a lot of weight.
After seeing that the two were safe and sound, Xiao Liu had his men bring out the two young masters of the Gao family as well.
The situation of these two people, for example, Da Niu and his wife, is much worse.
The two young masters, relying on the power of the Gao family, have been very uncooperative along the way, so Xiao Liu and his group will inevitably have to take action against them.
So what Gao Jie saw were her two younger brothers with bruises and swelling.
"Big sister, save me."
"Big sister, please tell them to let me go."
The two younger brothers were crying, and Gao Jie felt that they were both useless.
"We will exchange people, and we hope that the people of Fengyulou will keep their promises and not say things they shouldn't say."
“Of course, we at Fengyulou keep our promises the most,” Xiao Liu said.
Gao Jie let out a cold sneer.
Can the people of Fengyulou keep their promises?
"That would be best. Otherwise, even if we manage to catch this couple once, we might only be able to catch them twice. Even if we don't catch them, there are other people in Fangjia Village who can be caught by us. Zhao Shi'an is heartless, but the girl he wants to protect, like Miss Fang, is another matter."
"Stop talking nonsense and release them now," Xiao Liu interrupted Gao Jie, his tone impatient.
Gao Jie made a gesture to her subordinates, and Fang Daniu and his wife were released.
Fang Daniu knew that Xiao Liu had come to rescue them, so he grabbed Zhao's hand tightly and walked towards Xiao Liu.
Xiao Liu released the two young masters of the Gao family. As soon as they were free, the two rushed towards Gao Jie like mad dogs, hiding behind her.
Xiao Liu quickly arranged for Fang Daniu and his wife to get into the carriage.
"Someone will escort you two back to Fangjia Village, so don't be afraid."
Just as Xiao Liu was about to lower the carriage curtain, Fang Daniu called out to him.
"Where's Douya? Where are my Douya and Shi'an?"
Having been imprisoned by the Gao family for some time, he could roughly guess that it was related to Zhao Shi'an.
"Don't worry, Miss and Master are both safe."
"Then they..."
"Miss and Master cannot see you for the time being. Once things are settled here, we will escort Miss back to see you two."
Despite his worries, Fang Daniu knew that time was of the essence, so he put down the carriage and let the men take him and his wife away from the territory of Nanzhen.
Gao Jie also settled the two young masters of the Gao family into the carriage.
She turned to look at Xiao Liu, and Xiao Liu looked at her too.
"Miss Gao, you risked your life to escort Gao Wancheng here. Don't you even care about your family in Yuzhou?"
As expected, Gao Jie's face immediately turned ugly.
Xiao Liu grinned triumphantly.
"I won't bother Miss Gao any longer. I just hope that Miss Gao won't regret the choice she made today."
