Wang Bao stopped approaching Xiao He, who was huddled in the corner, and instead stared at Ye Jintang, who had suddenly barged in.
"Little beauty, would you like to play with me?"
Wang Bao laughed heartily, but the next second he heard the panicked voices of the guards outside.
"Young Master Wang, something terrible has happened! All the maids who were imprisoned in the west courtyard have been rescued."
The guard's voice made Wang Bao's expression change abruptly, and he immediately realized that Ye Jintang's appearance at this moment was a big problem.
The guards, seeing that Wang Bao hadn't come out, went inside. They were immediately met with Ye Jintang's eyes, which were as cold as a deep pool. They were so frightened that they took several steps back, their voices trembling.
“Young Master Wang, it’s her. She’s the one who rescued those people from the West Courtyard.”
Upon hearing the guard's words, Wang Bao's eyes blazed with fury, and his gaze toward Ye Jintang grew increasingly hostile. He immediately shouted angrily, "Grab her!"
"Little beauty, you've got some nerve to ruin my good time!"
Wang Bao sneered, "Since you were the one who let the person go, then you can stay and atone for your sins."
"Atonement?"
Ye Jintang sneered, "Wang Bao, do you think you're worthy?"
"What did you say?" Wang Bao was immediately annoyed, but found that none of the guards who were originally stationed near the courtyard had appeared. Combined with the guards' reaction when they saw Ye Jintang, he felt a vague sense of unease.
"What...what did you do?"
Ye Jintang curled her lips, her eyes filled with even more mockery. "Wang Bao, now that I'm here, tell me what I've done."
Ye Jintang took a step forward, and Wang Bao inexplicably felt that the air around him was much thinner, and he felt like he couldn't breathe.
"What are you still standing there for? Seize this woman for me, and I will reward you handsomely."
Wang Bao shouted to the guards over there.
The guards seemed to be going all out, and made a move to attack Ye Jintang.
Ye Jintang was not on guard when a large wolfhound suddenly pounced on him.
The guard cried out in pain, and his weapon fell to the ground.
Woof woof woof!
[To dare to launch a sneak attack when someone is not paying attention—shameless!]
Wang Bao was clearly not expecting this scene. Upon seeing that the large wolfhound was one he had bought at great expense to guard the yard, he immediately began to curse.
"They're like ungrateful animals, daring to help outsiders."
The large wolfhound bared its teeth fiercely, and this time its bark was even more terrifying than before.
[What a beast! You're the beast for doing these things. I'm just trying to atone for my sins. Waaah, I was forced into this relationship with the woman.]
When Ye Jintang heard the term "woman," he was momentarily confused. Did animals all like to use this kind of term?
For some reason, it reminded Ye Jintang of the gray wolf in the valley.
"Miss, please save me."
Seeing this, Xiaohe quickly looked at Ye Jintang for help, saying, "I was kidnapped by them."
Xiaohe's silence was fine, but her opening remarks gave Wang Bao an opening.
He knew that this woman probably had some real skills, and with a wolfhound by her side, he was no match for her on his own.
Wang Bao suddenly rushed towards Xiao He, grabbing her with one hand and pinching her arm with the other, threatening Ye Jintang.
"Little beauty, if you dare come near me, believe me, I'll kill her right now."
Wang Bao vaguely guessed that since Ye Jintang had come to rescue people, his presence here must be related to Xiao He.
"Yeah?"
Ye Jintang merely smiled dismissively, and as she raised her hand, a silver needle flew out. "Then we'll see if you have the ability."
Wang Bao felt a sharp pain in his body, and the next second he lost consciousness and passed out.
The big wolfhound was so shocked that its eyes widened.
[That's impressive, the black cat was right.]
The big wolfhound was barking incessantly when it saw Ye Jintang looking over, which startled it so much that it trembled.
[The black cat said that helping would atone for my sins, and I've come.]
The large wolfhound pointed with its paw at the unconscious guard on the ground.
Ye Jintang merely glanced at it indifferently, "You're smart to know your place."
"Your name is Xiaohe?"
Seeing that the woman looked terrified, Ye Jintang's tone became much gentler than before.
"Yes, my name is Xiaohe."
The woman nodded, her eyes filled with unspeakable fear and trepidation in the face of Ye Jintang.
"Miss, you are...?"
"I have come to your rescue at the request of your mother."
Just as Ye Jintang finished speaking, he heard Lü He's voice from behind.
"Miss!"
Green Lotus wanted to go forward, but then she noticed the big wolfhound from before.
"Don't be afraid, this dog is not aggressive."
Seeing Lühe's concerns, Ye Jintang spoke up.
The big wolfhound felt belittled by Ye Jintang's words.
It's really amazing, okay...
Having witnessed Ye Jintang's abilities and knowing from the black cat that this woman could understand their speech, the big wolfhound dared not offend her.
To show its friendliness, it wags its tail.
Green Lotus found it all very strange, especially since this wolfhound, which was about the size of a child, was wagging its tail.
If it were before, Green Lotus would never have dared to step forward in this situation, but with her mistress here, how could she back down?
"Have those people been arranged?"
"Yes, they have all been taken out and are now in a safe place."
Green Lotus noticed the woman over there and, upon seeing the red mole at the corner of her mouth, asked, "Are you Little Lotus?"
Perhaps because both of their names contain the character "lotus," Lühe felt a sense of familiarity.
"Green Lotus, you take Little Lotus and leave first. I still have some things to take care of here."
Ye Jintang gave the instructions.
Without hesitation, Green Lotus replied, "Miss, please be careful."
After saying that, he left with Xiaohe.
Woof woof woof.
[What am I supposed to do then, woman?]
Ye Jintang glanced at Wang Bao on the ground.
"Is it possible to drag him to the Dali Temple?"
Wang Bao's arrogance over the years is largely due to the protection of Jiang Mubai's mother, who uses the influence of the Marquis's mansion. Ordinary government officials would never dare to do anything to him.
However, the Dali Temple is different; if it is dragged by a large wolfhound, the effect will be more significant.
It will not only spread among the people of the capital, but Jiang Mubai will also have no chance to exonerate him.
The big wolfhound nodded quickly upon hearing Ye Jintang's words.
[What's the big deal? Leave it to me. It's just taking him away; he can't get back at me. I'm a good dog; I've only been with you for a few days.]
Ye Jintang: "..."
"If you say another word, believe me, I'll stew you."
The large wolfhound immediately stopped barking, its size enough to "drag" a helpless person forward.
The scene was a bit strange.
After the big wolfhound "dragged" Wang Bao away, Ye Jintang also prepared to leave, but after taking only a few steps, she noticed something was wrong and looked towards a corner.
"I never imagined that His Highness the Regent was such a keen eavesdropper."
Ye Jintang's words were laced with sarcasm.
Ye Ling emerged from the shadows. "Miss Ye's abilities truly amaze me."
