Cheng Muyun turned around with pleasure, "Go ahead and speak, I'm all ears."
Chen Hede seemed to have made a great decision. "Young Marshal Cheng has been with Liang Shaozun for many years. He should know that he likes beautiful women and that he has killed many people, including my sister."
Xu Zhuohua frowned. She didn't know much about Chen Hede's history, let alone his unofficial history. She didn't know much about this person and didn't even know that he had a younger sister.
Cheng Muyun seemed to soften as well, "When, which one?"
"Four years ago, the young woman at Jishetang who prepared medicine."
Cheng Muyun looked at Chen Hede's tearful face, which did indeed resemble a certain terrified little face in his memory.
"She died a terrible death..."
Chen Hede covered his face and couldn't help but cry, "I was tortured for three days and three nights, and in the end, I was stripped naked and dragged to my death on the ground. It was more than just tragic."
Xu Zhuohua suddenly felt a pain that went from her heart to her stomach. She frowned and her anger towards Liang Shaozun intensified.
He couldn't do anything when his sister died, but now that he finally has the chance to bring down Liang Shaozun, he can't stand it for even a day.
Therefore, he had no choice but to kidnap himself and force Cheng Muyun to take action.
Cheng Muyun sighed and pondered for a long time, "I'm sorry, I couldn't stop him."
Chen Hede slumped into his chair, weakly raising his hand. "Liang Shaozun is lawless. He won't listen to you no matter what you say. I can only be thankful that Young Marshal Cheng didn't get involved back then, otherwise I would never have been able to avenge myself."
Cheng Muyun frowned deeply. "I agree to your plan."
...
Cheng Muyun settled Xu Zhuohua in one of the rooms in the courtyard. He arranged for many guards around her and even put his own bed opposite hers.
Xu Zhuohua is still missing, so she cannot return to the Cheng Mansion and can only be placed here.
Xu Zhuohua didn't care about these things; all she could think about was Chen Hede.
Cheng Muyun brought the foot-washing water and placed it in front of Xu Zhuohua, but she didn't even notice.
A hand reached out and waved in front of her eyes, bringing Xu Zhuohua's thoughts back to reality.
"what's on your mind?"
Cheng Muyun seemed to be in a good mood.
Xu Zhuohua mustered her courage and asked, "Cheng Muyun, Chen Hede pressured you like that, yet you're still willing to cooperate with him?"
Cheng Muyun said helplessly, "He's convinced that I can help him bring down Liang Shaozun. Even if I don't cooperate with him this time, he'll still pester me next time. Besides, we have the same goal, so there's no problem with cooperating."
After rinsing the towel in the basin of water, Cheng Muyun wrung out the water and gently wiped Xu Zhuohua's face.
"I'm sorry you had to go through this today. Once this is resolved, I will make sure Chen Hede apologizes to you."
After learning about Chen Hede's unspeakable secret, Xu Zhuohua suddenly became less angry.
"Actually, it wasn't necessary. He didn't make things difficult for me, and he even had Hu Moli stay with me for a day."
Cheng Muyun smiled and said, "I think you've softened your heart."
Xu Zhuohua pouted, "I am broad-minded."
The man nodded, placed the basin on the ground, and Xu Zhuohua took off her shoes and socks, put her feet into the hot water, and found it quite comfortable.
"By the way, you stay here tomorrow. I'll leave a few people here to protect you. Zhang Qi will pick you up and take you back to the Cheng Mansion in the evening."
This is a desperate battle, and Xu Zhuohua cannot allow herself to be blind to anything.
"Can I go take a look?"
Cheng Muyun raised an eyebrow and said, "Do you think this is a show?"
After hearing what he said, Xu Zhuohua dared not make any more requests. "Then come back and tell me everything, including what happened to Chen Hede's sister."
Cheng Muyun nodded.
Xu Zhuohua held up her little finger, "Pinky promise."
The man reluctantly extended his hand. "Okay."
Pinky promise, a hundred years, no exceptions.
The next day, when Xu Zhuohua woke up, the bed opposite her was empty; Cheng Muyun had left sometime earlier.
She couldn't help but start to worry. Although she knew that Cheng Muyun had many bad things to do and that Chen Hede would live a good life, she was still worried.
After all, Liang Shaozun will eventually seek refuge with the Japanese, so he won't die.
So how will things end, and what will happen to allow Cheng Muyun and Liang Shaozun to maintain their close friendship?
Xu Zhuohua couldn't understand it, so she could only wait for Cheng Muyun to come back and tell her.
She pushed open the door, intending to eat something before taking another nice nap.
Who knew that as soon as she came out, she was knocked unconscious with a club.
Damn it, another kidnapping?!
Xu Zhuohua was awakened by a basin of cold water. She woke up suddenly, coughed violently, and almost suffocated because her trachea was full of water.
Opening her eyes and realizing her predicament, she felt like crying but had no tears left.
This time, the treatment wasn't as good as last time. I was tied up, and instead of beautiful women, I was surrounded by three burly men who showed absolutely no mercy.
"Awake?" A familiar voice came from behind, but Xu Zhuohua was tied to the chair and couldn't turn around to see the person behind her.
"Who are you?"
The man chuckled, "Who I am isn't important. What's important is the person standing outside right now. He thinks you're important."
Xu Zhuohua snorted coldly, "Young Master Liang, are you kidnapping me to play cosplay with me? It's not like I can't recognize your voice."
Liang Shaozun came out from behind and said, "I never intended to hide it."
Xu Zhuohua rolled her eyes. "Then why are you still speaking in a low voice, pretending to be Conan?"
Liang Shaozun seemed to have no time to chat with Xu Zhuohua. He walked to the window, looked around, and then walked back to Xu Zhuohua.
He said fiercely, "If you let Cheng Muyun take everyone away, I'll let you go. If you don't obey, I'll make these three..."
