Chapter 149
Ye Yunzhou lowered his arm and did not look back at Ye Yi. Instead, he took a few steps forward, kicked the thug closest to him, and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, why are you tied up here?"
When the thug saw Ye Yunzhou approaching him, he thought he was going to untie him, so he quickly raised his hands high. However, when he heard Ye Yunzhou's question, he stammered and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing this, Liu Xiangdong hurriedly shouted, "Tell me what you have to say in detail. Don't hide it from my cousin Zhou."
As he spoke, he winked at the thug and kept indicating something.
The thug was quite smart. After seeing Liu Xiangdong's gesture, he roughly understood his intention.
Then he turned to look at Ye Yunzhou and said, "Sir, we originally wanted to go to the manor ahead with Second Young Master Liu, but we unexpectedly encountered a group of robbers here. The robbers not only stole our money and even our clothes, but also tied us up and tortured us. I hope you can untie us and give us some relief."
Ye Yunzhou's eyes flashed like lightning as he stared coldly at the thug. How could he not notice the subtle eye contact between the thug and Liu Xiangdong? A hint of mockery curved his lips, his brows raised slightly, and the coldness in his eyes seemed to freeze anyone, as if his gaze was going to penetrate the thug's soul.
The thug felt creepy when he met Ye Yunzhou's eyes. He subconsciously shrank his neck, trying to stay away from this death-like gaze.
Ye Yunzhou, however, took a step back with an expressionless face, putting some distance between him and the thugs. He then shouted an order towards Ye Yi: "Since they are so cunning, go break one leg of each of them. If they don't tell the truth, then keep waiting until they are willing to tell."
As soon as Ye Yi received the order, he clenched his fists and prepared to walk towards the thug.
Seeing this, the ruffian's face turned pale as paper, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead like rain, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Master, let's talk it over, let's talk it over!"
The voice became sharp and piercing due to fear, and it seemed particularly abrupt in the silent atmosphere.
Everyone else also begged for mercy, their cries and pleas intertwined. Only Liu Xiangdong clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white, and his throat was dry as if burned by fire, and he was unable to utter a word.
Seeing the fear evident in their expressions, which did not seem fake, Ye Yunzhou slowly spoke, his voice as cold as ice: "Since you all don't want to suffer this, then tell us the truth."
After all this trouble, the thug looked at Ye Yunzhou with a stern expression. The fierceness in his eyes did not seem to be disguised. He knew in his heart that the man in front of him was definitely capable of breaking their legs.
Unable to bear the immense psychological pressure any longer, he trembled and revealed some of their affairs and plans. This ruffian was quite clever, and he didn't reveal everything. However, Ye Yunzhou was very thoughtful and understood their general intentions from just a few of his words.
The more Ye Yunzhou listened, the colder his expression became, like the harshest frosty wind in the coldest months of winter.
His cold gaze turned to Liu Xiangdong, who was huddled in silence like a quail, and the anger in his heart surged like a surging tide. Liu Xiangdong didn't dare to look up, and his whole body shrank back desperately, trying to hide himself, but it was all in vain.
Ye Yunzhou's face was gloomy. He strode forward and kicked Liu Xiangdong's left leg hard.
There was a loud "crack," and a shrill scream escaped Liu Xiangdong's mouth. In an instant, his face turned as pale as a ghost, cold sweat poured out, and he felt as if his left leg no longer belonged to him, completely out of control.
The thugs were all terrified, their eyes closed, and they struggled to crawl backwards, trying to get away from this horrible scene.
Seeing their miserable state, Ye Yi pulled out his whip without saying anything and attacked them fiercely. The whip swung in the air, making a series of "crackling" sounds, like a death note.
What followed was the screams of the thugs one after another. For a moment, the space was filled with the sounds of fear and pain.
Ye Yicai put away his whip and stood beside Ye Yunzhou. He didn't even look at the people who were crying in pain, but just stared coldly at Mr. Liu, his eyes full of confusion and anger.
He really couldn't understand why the Second Young Master Liu, a man from the Earl's Mansion who should be well-educated and well-mannered, would be so cruel to a weak woman.
Looking at the furious Ye Yunzhou, Ye Yi thought to himself that his own prince was so worried about Miss Luo. It seemed that a lot of things had happened during his absence. The governor was protecting her like his own daughter.
He couldn't help but become curious about this girl from Luo Clan, a desire to explore her arose within him. He really wanted to see what this woman had in store. It was clear that the prince had initially had no fondness for her, yet now he was so fervently defending her. This truly intrigued him.
Ye Yunzhou had no idea what Ye Yi was thinking. He stared at Liu Xiangdong with a sharp gaze. Seeing Liu Xiangdong recover from the pain and his expression soften slightly, Ye Yunzhou spoke coldly, "I wonder what kind of teachings Jing'an Bo taught you to become so rude and cruel. This is your fault. Why would you resort to such despicable means against a defenseless girl?"
After he finished speaking, he ignored the ugly look on Liu Xiangdong's face and called out softly, "Ye Yi."
When Ye Yi heard Ye Yunzhou's summons, he hurriedly took a half step forward and bowed, "I'm here."
Ye Yunzhou frowned slightly, his eyes icy: "Send these people back to Kyoto and throw them at the gates of their respective homes, so that their families can see their ugly appearance."
"It's my subordinate who takes the order."
Then, Ye Yunzhou turned to look at Liu Xiangdong and said coldly, "I think you should know what to say. If you spread the truth about the cause of this matter, my father and I will not let it go. At that time, it will depend on whether your Jing'an Marquis Mansion has the ability to confront the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion and whether you have the courage to become my enemy.
Liu Xiangdong gritted his teeth, remaining silent. His bound hands clenched with such force that his nails seemed to dig into his flesh. His face was as pale as paper, and veins bulged in his forehead. After a long pause, he managed to squeeze out the word "understood" from between his teeth.
As soon as he said this, he could no longer hold on, his vision went dark, and he couldn't help but faint.
Seeing this, Ye Yi stepped forward and poked Liu Xiangdong a few times with his foot. Seeing that he didn't react, he was really fainted. Ye Yi snorted disdainfully: "This spineless guy actually did something despicable. He thought that our Zhongyong Marquis Mansion was easy to mess with? He really doesn't know how to live or die."
