“In that case, sorry to disturb you.” Chu Heng stood up and did not stay any longer.

Wang Shichu let out a sigh of relief and quickly stood up to send him off. He also gave him some silver, but Chu Heng rejected it.

After confirming that the horses had left, Wang Shichu quickly ordered the servants to close the door.

He quickly walked toward the backyard.

When he reached the backyard, he pushed open the door of one of the small courtyards. He saw a few guards lying on the ground, and his expression immediately changed.

He walked into the room, but the person who was originally in the room had disappeared.

“It’s over. He won’t be captured, right?” Wang Shichu’s legs went weak. He could not help but think of the skills of the guard beside Chu Heng that Luo San had mentioned.

“Men!”

Wang Shichu screamed and called the servants waiting outside.

The moment they entered and saw the guards all over the ground, their faces turned pale.

“Hurry up and wake them up.” Wang Shichu shouted angrily.

The servants quickly squatted down to call for help.

Finally, one of them was slightly dizzy. After he was shaken awake, he saw Wang Shichu’s face. He quickly got up and knelt on the ground. “Master, something bad has happened. Someone broke in and took Eldest Young Master away.”

“How many people came?” Wang Shichu clenched his fists. Although he had already guessed that the person had been taken away, he could not help but have a glimmer of hope in his heart. Obviously, the reality was cruel.

“Just one person. None of us are a match for him…” The guard woke up and said.

“Alright, all of you can leave.”

What else did Wang Shichu not understand? He must have been taken away by Chu Heng. At this moment, there were only his people in the village. What he did not expect was that he had such a good person by his side.

One had to know that a little silver could not stop a guard who knew some martial arts.

When Wang Shichu thought about this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The other party might have someone behind him. Otherwise, why would he have such a powerful guard by his side?

Thinking about it, the other party had been to the prefecture city and had even passed the high scholar examination in second place. It was not impossible for him to be valued by the nobles.

As for himself, he was only a side branch of the Wang family. He was already lucky that he was not implicated. If he were to go against Chu Heng now, just the old matters of the Wang family would implicate his entire family.

The more Wang Shichu thought about it, the more regretful he became. He raised his hand and hit his chest. If he had known earlier, he would not have taken the risk and held Xiang Ling’er hostage. Although it could make Chu Heng have some scruples, now that he thought about it, even if he really married Xiang Ling’er, he could still divorce her!

It was Wang Yun who schemed against him.

Wang Shichu was drenched in cold sweat as he recalled the news. Most of the information that the other party had given him was fake. Otherwise, why did he not even know that Chu Heng would suddenly come to Black Water Village?

It turned out that Wang Yun had wanted to use him to take revenge on the Wang family from the beginning!

Wang Shichu was so angry that his eyes almost popped out. “Men, clean this place up.”

“Where’s Butler Wang?”

“Master, Butler Wang went to the county and hasn’t returned yet.”

“You, go to the county immediately and pay attention to the news from the county government. If there is any news of the fugitive being caught, come back and inform me.”

“Understood.” The servant nodded.

After Wang Shichu finished arranging these, he quickly got someone to prepare gifts.

On the other hand…

Chu Heng and Ye Muyu did not return home directly. Instead, they rode a horse and looked around at the scenery.

Ye Muyu was already sitting sideways on the horse. Her face was flushed and uncomfortable, but Chu Heng’s hand on her waist was especially hot and forceful.

“Was that the Wang Clan’s Eldest Young Master?”
