Xu Zhuohua suddenly stood up and ran towards the place where the fight was most intense.
The event has been brought forward!
Cheng Muyun won't make a move so quickly.
Absolutely impossible!
Other armies should have suppressed the situation first, and only when things escalated further did he have a chance to intervene.
Condemned by all.
Something's not right. Xu Zhuohua was absolutely certain that she hadn't misremembered Cheng Muyun's history.
She's going to find Cheng Muyun and get to the bottom of this.
The three behind him gave chase, while the soldiers in front were killing people. Xu Zhuohua rushed in, like a moth drawn to a fire.
"Xu Zhuohua! Come back!"
"Don't go, it's dangerous!"
A police officer pushed Xu Zhuohua to the ground and raised his baton to hit her, but Xu Jixin grabbed his wrist.
Xu Jiyi and Xu Jixin got into a fight with the police officers.
Several more police officers arrived and struck the two men with batons. Xu Zhuohua and Xu Minghua tried to stop them.
A stick struck Xu Minghua's wrist, and she screamed and fell to the ground. The three men immediately went to help her up.
The pampered young lady had never suffered like this before. She trembled in pain in Xu Zhuohua's arms, tears streaming down her face.
Enraged, Xu Jixin yelled, "Go to hell! How dare you hit my sister!"
How could a pampered young master, raised in a greenhouse, possibly beat a well-trained police officer?
The four siblings of the Xu family were all imprisoned.
After being locked up, the four of them calmed down completely.
Looking at Xu Minghua's swollen wrist, Xu Zhuohua felt a pang of guilt.
"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive."
Xu Minghua looked helpless. "It's alright. We couldn't find you last night and thought you were dead. Seeing you alive is better than anything."
Xu Jixin and Xu Jiyi's clothes were torn, their hair was messy, and their faces were extremely haggard. They leaned against each other.
Xu Jixin said weakly, "It's alright, it's good that I'm alive."
Xu Jiyi was equally listless. "By the way, where did you go last night?"
The feeling of being cared for by her family made Xu Zhuohua feel overwhelmed, but the barriers in her heart had completely disappeared.
“I was locked in this cell the day before yesterday, and then Cheng Muyun took me away and locked me on a boat. I only escaped this morning.”
Xu Jiyi immediately looked at Xu Zhuohua, "Did he inflict the injury on your head?"
Xu Zhuohua shook her head. "No, I was beaten by police officers on the first day of the march."
Xu Jiyi: "Did Cheng Muyun take you to get bandaged up?"
"Um."
Xu Jixin: "Why did he lock you up?"
Xu Zhuohua sighed, "They're probably afraid I'll get caught in the crossfire."
Xu Minghua said, "Why were you running into the crowd just now? Were you trying to find Cheng Muyun?"
Xu Jixin: "..."
Xu Jiyi: "..."
Xu Zhuohua: "..."
This question hit the nail on the head, and Xu Zhuohua immediately felt ashamed.
"yes."
Xu Jixin: "Huh?"
Xu Jiyi: "Why?"
Xu Minghua: "Are you out of your mind?"
In fact, Xu Zhuohua also wanted to ask herself the same question.
When the stick struck her, she regretted it. Why did she have to ask so many questions? This was Cheng Muyun's fate.
She herself cannot change anything.
"I was out of my mind at the time, and I ran over instinctively without realizing what was happening."
Xu Jixin was speechless. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's think about how to get out of the cell."
Xu Jiyi: "Sigh, I never thought I'd end up in jail one day."
Xu Minghua grabbed a straw and threw it forward, saying, "I never expected that."
Xu Zhuohua was embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to come in again."
Suddenly, a cacophony of footsteps came from outside.
Chen Hede and Cheng Muyun appeared together at the prison cell door.
Cheng Muyun seemed helpless, looking at the four siblings who looked like they were picking up trash.
Chen Hede was very happy, "They're all here. Young Marshal Cheng, take all four of them with you. It'll be a favor."
The man's military uniform was not very neat, and he looked exhausted. He nodded and said, "Open the door."
Chen Hede opened the door with a big smile, "I never dared to dream of being able to get in touch with the young marshal. I must thank Miss Xu for giving me this opportunity."
The four men stood up and walked out of the cell.
Just as Xu Jixin was about to thank Cheng Muyun, he heard a thud behind him.
Everyone turned around and saw Xu Zhuohua close the cell door himself and lock himself inside.
"What are you doing?" Xu Jiyi pulled the lock.
"I don't want to go out. If I go out, I'll just get locked up again. I might as well stay here."
Cheng Muyun's face was half hidden in the darkness. He didn't speak, his fists were clenched.
"Stop messing around, Zhuohua, go home. No one will lock you up." Xu Jixin slammed his fist on the cell door.
Xu Zhuohua took several steps back and turned around. "I'm not leaving. You're all injured. Go get your injuries treated first."
Xu Jiyi said, "I'd like to trouble Deputy Director Chen to open the door. I'm not leaving."
Chen Hede, clutching the key, seemed a little taken aback. "Young Master Xu, what do you think a prison is, a place you can come and go as you please?"
Xu Jixin pushed Xu Jiyi aside and said with a forced smile, "I'm sorry, Deputy Director Chen, my younger siblings are ignorant and have caused you trouble. Zhuohua still has a wound on her head. Please open the door and I'll take her away. Consider it a favor the Xu family owes you."
Chen Hede smiled and said, "Very good, I love collecting favors."
The sound of keys clinking rang out, and Xu Zhuohua immediately ran to the door and braced the cell door with her foot.
"I'm not going out. Even if I do go out, I'll still participate in the march until the soldiers kill me!"
Xu Jixin was taken aback and did not push open the cell door. "Then it's safer to keep you locked up here."
Xu Zhuohua was very angry. She looked at Cheng Muyun at the back of the crowd and pouted, "I already said I didn't want to go out."
The man finally lost his temper, pushed the crowd aside, opened the cell door, and then locked it in one swift motion.
Looking up at the shocked faces, she said, "I'll stay with her. I'll leave whenever Xu Zhuohua leaves."
Xu Jiyi immediately said, "Open the door, I'll go in too, I'll stay with Zhuohua."
Xu Jixin pulled him away and scolded, "Are you stupid? Young Marshal Cheng can come out whenever he wants, but you can't!"
Then Xu Jixin looked at the two people in the cell and said, "I'll leave Zhuohua in the care of Young Marshal Cheng. I'll take these two good-for-nothing younger siblings home first, and then give Zhuohua some medicine."
After watching the farce, Chen Hede shook his head and sighed, placing the cell key at the door. "Young Marshal Cheng is truly deeply in love with Miss Xu, openly defying orders. What a pity! I've left the key for you both. Come out anytime; my men won't stop you."
Openly defying orders?
Xu Zhuohua didn't understand what Chen Hede meant, and Chen Hede had already left.
She asked, "Cheng Muyun, what did Chen Hede mean by what he just said?"
Cheng Muyun crossed his arms, looking displeased. "It's exactly what it sounds like."
"What orders did you disobey?"
"I was ordered to kill people, but I didn't want to, that's all."
