"Hurry up and tell me!" Yang Anchen raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily.
The waiter in the restaurant was attracted by the commotion. He had encountered this villain before, and when he saw him standing at the door making a fuss, he said, "Hey, why are you here again?"
The villain, who had done so many evil things, was so scared of being recognized that he dared not delay any longer. Seeing that the situation was not good, he turned around and wanted to run away. Yang Anchen had long seen through his thoughts and shouted to the outside: "This man has ulterior motives and is quite strange. Stop him and don't let him get away!"
Upon hearing this, the servant of the Zhang Mansion who was guarding outside the door immediately pinned the villain down the moment he stepped out of the door. The villain refused to give in and struggled to escape.
Although he was big and strong, he could not beat four hands with two fists and was soon pinned to the ground and unable to move.
The people in the upstairs rooms were also alarmed by the noise downstairs. The shopkeeper came down first and was a little unhappy to see the chaos in the restaurant, but he recognized the clothes of the Zhang family servants, so he could only question the person who was pinned to the ground first.
"Who is causing trouble?"
The waiter was very perceptive. He recognized the man as a well-known street thug and immediately reported to the shopkeeper: "This man seems to be a local thug who often bullies the weak. This time, it seems he came in after this guy."
Zhao Fangchu had been hiding behind Yang Anchen, but now, seeing the villain subdued, he dared to emerge from behind him. The shopkeeper saw that he looked familiar, and after a closer look, he suddenly realized: "Hey, aren't you the brother who came with Dachuan brother and his wife? But why are you alone? Where's the other one?"
"Donghu is here too? Where is he? Could it be..." Yang Anchen was a little surprised when he heard this. If Yang Donghu was still in the hands of these people, it would be bad.
"No, I haven't." Zhao Fangchu saw what he was thinking and waved his hand, saying, "Brother Dong and Brother Dachuan were shopping on the street. I got separated from them because of the crowd and was waiting for them to come back. Unexpectedly, a thief stole my wallet just now. When I was about to go get it back, this person insisted on pulling me over and claiming I was his family, but I really don't know him."
Yang Anchen nodded: "That's fine."
The shopkeeper, upon hearing this, observed the villain's expression and said, "This man is probably a kidnapper. He can't be left out there to cause trouble. He must be brought to justice. Mr. Yang, what do you think?"
"That's great. The kidnapper has committed countless evil deeds. I don't know how many families have been destroyed by him. If he is not severely punished, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of those whose families have been broken up. However."
Yang Anchen paused for a moment and continued, "Just now, this young man said that his purse was stolen. I'm afraid this person has an accomplice. We might as well detain him first and question him thoroughly before sending him back."
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed: "Well, I'm just a businessman. It's not appropriate to detain a criminal without permission."
"It's okay, boss, you're worrying too much. I'll seize it in my name. I just need to borrow your precious land for a while."
As long as he doesn't get charged with a crime, this convenience is feasible. The shopkeeper nodded and sold Yang Anchen a favor: "Don't disturb the diners' meal. Xiao Er, take these people to the backyard and tie them up."
"Okay, you guys come here, please."
The villain had his mouth covered and was taken to the backyard by the servants. Yang Anchen also went to the backyard with Zhao Fangchu.
"What's your name? Who's your accomplice? Where do you meet? If you tell the truth, it'll be considered meritorious service. If you don't, and we can't catch your accomplice, you'll be the first one to go."
The villain was tied up and thrown to the ground, and the rag in his mouth was taken away by the person next to him. He was a bully who only bullied the weak and feared the strong. He usually did some petty thefts. His idea of kidnapping the guy and selling him for money was just a momentary impulse.
This was the first time he encountered such a tough guy when he was kidnapping people. He was so scared that he didn't know what to do and told everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
"My name is Wang San, and there are two other people named Li Hu and Liu Lei. We originally just wanted to steal something today, but when we saw the heavy bag of money in his arms, we got the idea. But it wasn't me who stole the money, it was Li Hu, who is good at gambling."
Yang Anchen's expression was cold, and he was very disgusted with this kind of person: "Just stealing money? Then why are you pestering him?"
"It was Liu Lei who came up with the idea. He saw that this guy was all alone, and thought that if he could sell him off, he would have enough food and drink for the next few months. He asked me to catch him while he hid in the alley and waited. After the job was done, he promised to give me half of the money. I got carried away for a moment, and then, then..."
"Are those two still in the alley?"
Wang San nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes, I won't leave until they see me. I've told them everything. Can you please let me go?"
Yang Anchen winked at the person next to him, and the servant covered Wang San's mouth again.
"Go to the alley he mentioned and see if there's anyone there. If there is, arrest them and send them to the authorities."
There were five servants in total who were brought from Zhang's house to protect Zhang Baoyu. All of them had some skills. Yang Anchen only called two of them to go and they were enough to deal with those two scums.
Zhao Fangchu was still in shock and stood beside Yang Anchen without saying a word.
Yang Anchen ordered his men to do their work. He turned around and saw the frightened young man following him closely. His heart softened and he whispered, "Are you okay?"
"Well, I'm fine." Zhao Fangchu nodded.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely get your wallet back. It's too dangerous for you to walk alone on the street, and it's so hot outside. Why don't you stay in the store with me and wait for Donghu and Dachuan to come find you before you go out."
With his beloved right next to him, Yang Anchen's eyes kept unconsciously glancing at Zhao Fangchu's face while he was talking. After realizing it, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he tried his best to control his gaze.
Zhao Fangchu hesitated: "But, I should be worried if they can't see me from the side of the cart, and..."
"It's okay. Tell the waiter if you see Dong Hu. Just tell him to come upstairs to look for him. I know you're worried about gossip if we're in the same room. Don't worry, Miss Zhang is in the upstairs room. Outsiders won't say anything."
"But..." Zhao Fangchu still hesitated, "I don't know Miss Zhang at all, so it would be inappropriate to disturb her rashly."
Yang Anchen coughed lightly and deliberately threatened: "It's okay, Miss Zhang is easygoing, you'll know once you meet her. The two people who went out to arrest the criminals are still not sure whether they can bring the criminals back. If you go out by yourself and run into them again, it's hard to say what will happen."
Although this was meant to scare people, he was telling the truth.
Yang Anchen thought of his mother's words and thought that there would be no possibility for him and Zhao Fangchu to have anything in this life. However, he was selfish and finally had an excuse to be with him openly. Yang Anchen wanted to keep him for a while longer.
"Well, alright then." Zhao Fangchu looked out from the hall towards the street. There were still a lot of people there. He was indeed afraid of running into those two villains again, so he could only nod and say, "Excuse me for bothering you."
Upstairs, Zhang Baoyu had just made the sweet tea that the shopkeeper had given her. Just as she took a sip, the door was opened again and a man came in who never came back.
"Sir? Didn't you say you had something to do? Why did you come back so suddenly?"
