Chapter 291: Aftermath
Zhao Xiaofei immediately sent Qin Baobao to the Ming Dynasty. Qin Xiaomi was stunned when she saw her sister and brother-in-law suddenly disappear in front of her.
She collapsed on the ground, staring at the dark warehouse walls. A myriad of strange thoughts flooded her mind, especially her deepest fear of snakes. It felt as if countless snakes were watching her crawl toward her, and she began to tremble all over.
At this moment, Zhao Xiaofei suddenly appeared before her eyes. Qin Xiaomi looked at Zhao Xiaofei with fear in her eyes, muttering, "You are not human, are you? You are a ghost! You are a ghost! Did you kill my sister?" Qin Xiaomi's voice was trembling.
Zhao Xiaofei walked in and said, "Come with me!"
"No! I won't leave. I won't go to hell! I'm still young, I'm still young!" Qin Xiaomi shouted the last sentence. Then she stood up and started running towards the door.
She stretched her hand through the crack in the door, then pushed herself up to lift the rolling door and escape.
But she tried her best, but couldn't open the electric shutter door. Then Zhao Xiaofei came over, and for the first time, Qin Xiaomi felt how frightening his footsteps were. Every step he took was like stepping on her heart, crushing it.
Qin Xiaomi trembled and said, "No! Don't come over here, don't come over here! Don't come over here! Ah~"
When Zhao Xiaofei grabbed Qin Xiaomi's arm, she screamed in fear! Zhao Xiaofei pulled her hard towards the red line. Qin Xiaomi also understood what was happening. Looking at the red line, she desperately tried to pull it in the opposite direction. But she was not as strong as Zhao Xiaofei, and she was pulled away from the red line like a dead dog.
Qin Xiaomi struggled desperately, and finally had to open her mouth and bite Zhao Xiaofei.
Zhao Xiaofei felt a little pain and saw blood on his arm. So he ran a few steps and grabbed Qin Xiaomi from behind. He lifted her up and dragged her back. Qin Xiaomi cried out, "I don't want to die! Let me go! Let me go! Ah!" Her arms and legs struggled in the air.
Seeing she couldn't break free, Qin Xiaomi started to bite Zhao Xiaofei again. Furious, Zhao Xiaofei threw Qin Xiaomi to the ground. He kneeled her in the back, then turned her hands behind her back, freeing one to pull off her belt.
Qin Xiaomi thought Zhao Xiaofei was crazy and wanted to do that to her. She struggled even harder, cursing, "Zhao Xiaofei! You beast, what are you going to do to me?"
Zhao Xiaofei knew she had misunderstood, but ignored her. He tied her up, then grabbed one of her legs and dragged her towards the red line.
Qin Xiaomi cried and said, "Brother-in-law, I beg you, don't hurt me, for the sake of my sister and my little nephew, please let me go!"
Zhao Xiaofei still ignored her and finally dragged her into the red line. Because outside the red line, on the Ming Dynasty side, there was a ditch. It was very deep, just in case someone suddenly broke into the warehouse. Zhao Xiaofei was afraid that if he crossed over, he and Qin Xiaomi would fall into the water.
Watching Qin Xiaomi struggle slowly until she finally ran out of strength, Zhao Xiaofei said, "Let's go! Live in hiding over there! I'll take good care of our parents."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Xiaomi felt dizzy. When she opened her eyes again, she saw a group of Ming Dynasty soldiers walking towards her with knives.
She shrank into the corner in fear, then looked up at Zhao Xiaofei.
At this time, several guards knelt on one knee towards Zhao Xiaofei and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Have you settled that woman just now?" Zhao Xiaofei's words were not as casual as when he spoke to Qin Xiaomi, and he seemed quite majestic.
Another guard brought a robe embroidered with a four-clawed python dragon and asked Zhao Xiaofei to change into it.
"Your Highness! What happened to you? Are you injured? Call a doctor quickly!" said the guard.
"It's okay! It's just a bite from a little woman, it's okay!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Your Highness! How about we send him to the government office and lock him up for a few days?" asked the guard.
Zhao Xiaofei said, "Didn't Nanjing send a few disciplinary maids? Hand her over to Aunt Rong and let her be properly disciplined!"
Ever since Nanjing learned of Princess Zhaoren's arrival, they had specially selected some palace maids, eunuchs, and veteran palace maids to serve her, in order to ease tensions. Among them was an elderly palace maid surnamed Rong, known as Rong Mama. Zhao Xiaofei had stumbled upon this maid on the list and was deeply impressed.
Rong Mama was a childhood trauma. Qin Xiaomi was stunned. This wasn't another dimension, but the Ming Dynasty. She recognized the clothes. It was Yuan Feifei who told her what people in the Ming Dynasty wore.
Moreover, the guards called her brother-in-law "Prince." Could it be that he was the legendary time traveler? But before she could react, she was helped up by two guards.
Qin Xiaomi said in a panic: "Brother-in-law! I understand, you want to save me. I beg you, please don't lock me up! Please, I'm not here to go to jail! Please!"
"You bold and cunning woman, how dare you pretend to be a princess!" the guard said as he was about to draw his sword.
Zhao Xiaofei stopped her with his eyes and said, "Take good care of her. Her husband is sick and talking nonsense."
The guard immediately put away his knife, clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Highness!"
Qin Xiaomi was taken away while she was still confused and secretly imprisoned in the Prince of Shu's Mansion.
The guards withdrew, and Zhao Xiaofei returned to modern society. He took out his phone and said to Guan Xin, "Okay, call the police immediately!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xiaofei changed back into his clothes and left the warehouse. The security cameras along the way had long been destroyed, so there was no trace of him. He drove to the city center and found a police station to report the crime.
In Beijing, Guan Xin was doing the same thing. The police received a report and went to the scene quickly.
As for Zhao Xiaofei, no one paid any attention at first. Later, when Chengdu received a call from Beijing, they immediately took the matter seriously. Zhao Xiaofei was restricted from leaving the country, and Qin Xiaomi and Qin Baobao's bank accounts were frozen.
Zhao Xiaofei called the police to report a missing person.
At the police station, Zhao Xiaofei sat in the interrogation room. A police officer asked, "Can you tell me the details?"
"I found that two things were missing from the treasury at home. They were cultural relics that I was going to hand over to the country. They are so rare. You know, I have donated a lot of things to the country before. These are my new collections, and I am considered an experienced person. But my lawyer told me that my things were missing, and they were taken by my sister-in-law. I thought about asking them both what was going on. But when we arrived in Chengdu, I took them to the company's warehouse in Chengdu to ask." Zhao Xiaofei paused here.
At this time, the policeman said: "And what did they do? Did they admit it?"
Zhao Xiaofei shook his head and said, "No! They both denied selling these things. Then we had a quarrel, and I wanted to drag them to surrender. My sister-in-law refused to do it, saying why should we surrender to the police for something that didn't happen. So I slapped her twice, and she and her sister refused to take it anymore, and started fighting with me. I couldn't beat them, so they ran away. They left without even a car coming, and I was worried that something might have happened to them. After all, they are family, so I decided to look for them. But I couldn't find them, so I called the police!"
