Chapter 100: Forced

Seeing the sky outside the cave turn white and the rain stop, Jiang Duo pulled the clothes that were spread out and dried on the side and put them on Mingzhu, whispering: "I will take care of this matter, you don't have to interfere."

"Okay."

"Button up, let's go down the mountain."

Mingzhu sat up straight, leaned close to Jiang Duo's ear, and teased him in a charming tone: "Captain Jiang took care of me all night, shouldn't I... repay you with my body?"

Jiang Duo thought of the feeling of touching her skin that night. Originally, because she was sick, he was restless and didn't think too much, but now he felt her breath in his ear, and his body tightened instantly.

In order to prevent Mingzhu from noticing his abnormality, he immediately held Mingzhu's waist, lifted her up from his body, and said softly, "Okay, stop making trouble, and go home."

Mingzhu, who was sitting in his arms, actually felt something. It was clear that he didn't want it, but how could he hold it back?

Of course, Jiang Duo didn't want to, and she couldn't force it on him, right?

She buttoned up her clothes, and Jiang Duo was already dressed neatly. He turned around and half-crouched in front of Mingzhu, "Come up."

Mingzhu was stunned for a moment: "You want to carry me down the mountain?"

"Yes."

"I'm fine, I can..."

"Come up."

Mingzhu liked Jiang Duo's quiet personality more and more, who said less and did more.

The mountain road outside was too slippery, and she really had a hard time walking, so she simply climbed onto Jiang Duo's back obediently.

Jiang Duo carried her on his back and walked out.

It was not yet completely light, and the trees in the forest made it particularly dark, but Jiang Duo walked steadily. Mingzhu lay on Jiang Duo's back and felt very safe.

She thought she would not get bored if she spent her whole life with a man like him. But when she thought of the dream she had when she had a fever just now, she felt uneasy again. She

didn't know if she could survive in the future. If... she was successfully rescued, could she go back?

But... she had lived for more than 30 years, and this was the first time she liked someone so much. Jiang Duo was so good, and she didn't want to end up with him in vain.

What should she do if there really came a day when she had to choose between her family and her lover?

While thinking about it, Mingzhu sighed.

Jiang Duo stopped and asked sideways: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Mingzhu came back to her senses suddenly, "No, no, I just feel that I am too tired and I am afraid that you will be tired."

"You are very light."

Look, this rough man is so popular with her, and his words are so nice.

As soon as they came down the mountain, they saw Qiao Bin coming towards them from a distance.

Seeing Mingzhu was also there, still covered in mud, he was a little surprised: "Boss, what's wrong with my sister-in-law..."

Jiang Duo interrupted him directly: "Wait a moment."

He put Mingzhu down, "Wait for me here for a while, I want to talk to Qiao Bin alone."

Mingzhu nodded.

Jiang Duo and Qiao Bin walked to a tree a few meters away, and Qiao Bin was finally able to ask: "Boss, how come my sister-in-law is with you?"

Jiang Duo told him the whole story in short...

Without waiting for Qiao Bin to calm down from his shock, he continued to arrange tasks: "You go to the county now and do two things. First, send a letter to Yanshi. Once Meng Xiangde shows up, arrest him immediately. Also, when you come back, transfer some people over. We can't keep him here at Ming Dayou."

Qiao Bin was a little worried, "But what if the things are not here at Ming Dayou? Didn't you say that as long as he doesn't confess, we can't convict him even if we catch him?"

Jiang Duo thought of what Mingzhu had told him before, that Ming Xiaojie said there were antiques in her house, and he chose to believe Mingzhu.

He said firmly: "The thing must be here. Even if I have to dig up Ming Dayou's house, I will find it."

"Yes."

Qiao Bin said and then whispered: "So, boss, sister-in-law is no longer a suspect, right?"

Jiang Duo raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Go and do your thing."

Jiang Duo did not suspect Mingzhu was a suspect before, but he just thought she was strange. Even now, he still thinks so.

Especially after hearing her talking in her sleep last night, he felt even stranger.

Jiang Duo hesitated, "By the way, Qiao Bin, is there a person named Wang Jue around here?"

"Wang Jue?" Qiao Bin frowned and thought for a while, "I haven't heard of him."

In the six months since Qiao Bin came here, he is very familiar with the people in the surrounding villages. If he has never heard of him, then who is this person called Wang Jue? What is his relationship with Mingzhu?

Why... does she care about him so much?

"What's wrong, boss? You don't have a new target, do you?"

Jiang Duo retracted his uncomfortable thoughts, "No, it's a personal matter. You can help me find out about this person when you have time."

"Okay."

After Qiao Bin left, Jiang Duo returned to Mingzhu's side. When he squatted down to carry Mingzhu again, he was rejected by Mingzhu.

He is also a human being. No matter how light she is, she will be tired if she is carried all the time.

"Don't carry me anymore. Let's walk together hand in hand," she said, and her little hand took Jiang Duo's big hand. "Captain Jiang, what should we do now? Mingda didn't succeed last night, and I don't know if they will have a trick up their sleeves for you today."

"Let's go back to the village first."

Jiang Duo did not let her go. He held her hand directly and took her to take a shortcut and enter the village from the end of the village.

As soon as they turned from the mountain to the intersection, Jiang Duo immediately put his arm around her shoulders, took two steps back with her in his arms, and hid behind the haystack.

When Mingzhu's sight flashed past, she found that there were many people gathered at the door of her house.

Jiang Duo made a gesture to her to keep quiet, "You wait here, I'll go around to see what happened."

Mingzhu whispered, "Let's go together, I'll be careful and won't hold you back."

Seeing that she didn't seem to be afraid of trouble, Jiang Duo nodded.

The two carefully went around the back wall of the house. There was a blind spot here. Although the two couldn't see the front, they could hear the sound over there clearly.

Ming Dayou shouted loudly: "Ming Chunni, are you going to tell me? Where did you hide the murderer? If you don't hand them over, you will be an accomplice to the murderer!"

Ming Chunni was suddenly stimulated and was obviously on the verge of a breakdown. She was shaking all over and just kept saying: "My nephew-in-law and Zhuzhu would not kill anyone..."

Ming Dacheng and his wife also helped: "Cousin, you must have made a mistake! Let Chuni and the two children go first, don't scare them!"

Ming Dayou sternly retorted: "Wrong? I saw Jiang Duo shoot and kill Director Meng. How could this be wrong? He is a murderer, and Mingzhu is an accomplice!"

Behind the courtyard wall, Jiang Duo and Mingzhu looked at each other -

is Meng Xiangde dead?
