PFC Chapter 236 Encounter
Chapter 236 Encounter
The eldest prince was the most impatient and said directly: "I will take people to kidnap that woman."
Chu Ci also said immediately: "I'll go to Zhang's house now."
The words were crisp and clear, revealing unquestionable determination.
Fan Jingrui immediately responded: "I will go with my wife."
His tone was firm, as if it was an oath that could not be changed; his eyes were gentle and full of concern, making people feel warm and at ease like the warm spring sun.
The purple-robed envoy also consciously stood behind Chu Ci.
Just as the Fifth Prince was about to speak, the First Prince and Chu Ci simultaneously warned him, "Fifth brother (cousin), you stay here."
The fifth prince felt depressed, but seeing the determined looks in everyone's eyes, he knew that it was useless to argue at this time, so he could only nod helplessly and said, "Okay, you better be careful."
Everyone nodded solemnly, and then quickly took action according to the established plan.
If you're looking for trouble, you can't do it quietly.
As soon as Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui went out, they went straight to the brothel where Zhang Jiang, the eldest son of the Zhang family, was without hesitation.
Having spent the entire night in absurdity, Zhang Jiang decided to stay here overnight. At this time, he was still sleeping like a dead pig.
Even though the cold sword was placed on his neck, he did not react.
It was the terrified scream of the woman next to him that woke him from his deep sleep.
"What are you yelling for, old man..." Zhang Jiang was sleepy and impatient, and he cursed subconsciously.
Seeing this, Chu Ci tightened the sword in his hand suddenly, and the sharp blade instantly cut a red mark on Zhang Jiang's neck.
The intense pain immediately spread throughout his body like an electric current, allowing Zhang Jiang to regain his sanity instantly.
He finally noticed the Chuci couple standing by the bed, and his face was immediately filled with a flattering smile, but his words were somewhat veiled and sarcastic: "Mr. Fan, Mrs. Fan, how did you find this place?"
At this point, he deliberately lowered his voice and whispered, "Didn't Master Fan reject Zhang? Is he using Zhang as a shield again in private?"
Zhang Jiang's eyes were rolling around, and his tone was full of suspicion and sarcasm. His expression made people feel disgusted.
Chu Ci didn't stand for it. She just flashed and swung the sword in her hand as smoothly as flowing water. With a flash of cold light, she instantly cut a long gash on Zhang Jiang's arm.
Blood gushed out instantly, and in the blink of an eye, a large area of the quilt that Zhang Jiang was covering was dyed red.
Zhang Jiang finally realized that he was afraid. His face turned pale and he said in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. Let's talk it over nicely. Let's talk it over nicely."
Chu Ci didn't say a word and directly ordered in a stern voice: "Put on your clothes and go back to Zhang's house!"
Zhang Jiang knew that his sister was coming back. When he heard that Chu Ci was going to fall into the trap, a flash of joy appeared in his eyes.
However, he pretended to be terrified and said, "Yes, yes."
It just hurts so much that my arm was stabbed!
He didn't dare to get angry at Chu Ci, so he insulted the woman who was helping him put on his clothes.
The woman was so frightened that she trembled and tears welled up in her eyes.
Chu Ci's disgust was even greater, but she couldn't stand up for the woman at the moment, so she made up an excuse: "Noisy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stabbed Zhang Jiang with the sword again without hesitation, leaving a new wound on his arm.
People under the eaves have to bow their heads. Moreover, Chu Ci, a man holding a sharp sword and who doesn't know when he will get angry, is really frightening.
Zhang Jiang finally stopped cursing. He clenched his teeth, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his eyes were full of fear and submission.
Even so, Zhang Jiang endured it tightly, biting his lips tightly. Even though his face was distorted by pain and endurance, he refused to reveal any news of his sister Zhang Lulu's return.
This shows that Zhang Lulu’s return is of extraordinary importance to the Zhang family.
Thinking of this, Chu Ci's eyes turned slightly, and he had a plan in mind, so he casually asked: "Your father doesn't intend Zhang Tao to be the next heir of the Zhang family?"
Sure enough, Zhang Jiang, who was not prepared at all, blurted out: "Why would my father be willing to hand over the Zhang family to that bastard?"
"Bastard? That's not right..." Chu Ci was delighted and wanted to continue trying to get more information out of him.
However, Zhang Jiang had regained consciousness. His eyes quickly turned and he quickly changed his words: "I just look down on Zhang Tao. He just deceived grandpa at a young age. The Zhang family should be mine."
At this time, Zhang Jiang's eyes were evasive and his tone became tough, trying to cover up his previous slip of the tongue.
Seeing this, Chu Ci realized that he would not get any useful information by asking further, so he simply gave up asking.
She frowned and urged impatiently, "Hurry up! I don't have the patience to wait for you to dawdle here. If you don't move quickly, be careful, my sword has no eyes!"
Zhang Jiang secretly complained in his heart: "Doesn't he want to go faster? He can't go faster, okay?"
And the woman who was helping nearby had hands shaking like a sieve and couldn't even hold her clothes steady. It was unclear whether she was helping or hindering them.
Zhang Jiang couldn't help but glare at the woman fiercely, cursing under his breath: "You clumsy thing, you can't even do this!"
But his hand movements did become much faster. Chu Ci pretended not to hear it, but his expression remained stern, and he stared at Zhang Jiang closely to prevent him from making any more small moves.
On the other side, in the Zhang residence, the head of the Zhang family received the news that Chu Ci and his wife had actually attacked his beloved eldest son. He was immediately furious and had long thrown his cousin Lin Wentang's previous warning to the wind.
"Come here, follow me and bring back the eldest young master." Then, the head of the Zhang family, with a gloomy face and wide-open eyes, led a group of servants holding sticks and marched towards Chu Ci.
Such a big commotion immediately caused a stir on the street. People stopped to watch, whispered to each other, and speculated what had happened.
Chu Ci intentionally concealed a few things.
But Zhang Jiang was a celebrity in the brothel, and now he was being pointed at by a woman with a sword. Naturally, this scene attracted the attention of many onlookers.
So, the two groups met on the bustling streets of Meicheng.
The head of the Zhang family could tell at a glance that something was wrong with his son. Zhang Jiang's face was pale, and the wound on his arm could not be seen.
But seeing his son's obviously wrong expression, he immediately became furious and took the initiative. "Mr. Fan, isn't this a bit too much? I will give you double what Zhang Tao gave you, not triple it. As long as you let Jiang'er go, I will forgive the past."
As Patriarch Zhang spoke, he took a few steps forward, and the servants behind him also became restless.
