coincidence would be self-deception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for her saying capsizing in the gutter, it meant falling victim to the opponent’s covert tricks, resulting in her current passive situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In broad daylight, just as Liu Jin was kidnapped, Wufu, whose servant he was, could not stand idly by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without thinking, he chased after the abductors, but unexpectedly, his eyes were first blinded by lime, and then a sharp pain struck his shoulder, causing him to lose consciousness instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This must have been due to some top-quality aphrodisiac smeared on a needle that then shot into his shoulder, which is why he fell into their trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu was certain that this was an action targeted at him, but the question was, what was the purpose—people or silver?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he opened his eyes, Wufu slowly adjusted to the darkness, surveying the environment he was in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hands tied behind him, he felt his way along the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt somewhat damp, like a dirt wall, and he could smell the moisture, a sort of moldy scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This must be some kind of cellar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu looked towards the crack of light in front of him, pursed his lips, and moved his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes brightened with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Butterfly Knife tied to his calf was still there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that those who had tied him up had not searched him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu struggled against the ropes binding his hands behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big Brother!”He stopped moving, motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above him, the sound of a chair being pulled back could be heard, and someone walked in from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also heard the sound of weapons being set heavily on a table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is the hostage still alright?” a coarse voice subsequently asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hostage?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu’s mouth curved into a cold smile, thinking it seemed he was indeed their “hostage.” Well then, a kidnapping, huh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Keep a close watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This girl is worth two hundred thousand taels!” the coarse voice said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu’s lips parted slightly, nearly letting out a whistle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good heavens, he was worth two hundred thousand taels—a sum equal to a Peach Blossom Spring…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hold on!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu’s eyes sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why precisely two hundred thousand taels?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How coincidental!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did these people know about the two hundred thousand taels from the Peach Blossom Spring he had acquired?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were they eyeing him as a big fish all along?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the silver had come into his possession, Peach Blossom Spring was publicly known to belong to Ah Jiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, why had they kidnapped him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, was he suffering on Ah Jiu’s behalf, or did these people know all along that he was the one actually holding the silver?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big Brother, is there really two hundred thousand taels?” The conversation overhead continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu listened quietly, his hands and feet still moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have inquired about it, and it’s true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That what’s its name, Peach Blossom Spring, was indeed cut by her and sold for two hundred thousand taels,” the coarse voice said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, a piece of lousy jade actually worth that much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those merchants must be rich!” Another voice said, “Big Brother, if we really get two hundred thousand, we’ll be set for life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We could even retire from this business!”“It appears that person didn’t deceive us after all, this is indeed a way to make a fortune!” Another voice joined in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wufu paused in his movements, that person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A way to make a fortune?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed, picking up an underlying meaning in their words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed this kidnapping was not simple—someone had a hand in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was odd indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Ah Jiu was the known recipient of the Peach Blossom Spring, why had they specifically kidnapped him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out someone had leaked information!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humph, and to think he had believed it was his conspicuous wealth that had brought this calamity upon him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough talk, let’s check on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t let her escape!” the boss’s voice commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”Footsteps approached, and soon after, a wooden board was pulled back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost at the same time, Wufu closed his eyes, feigning the same posture as when he had just woken up.\u003C\u002Fp>",703,"2026-06-05T19:25:26.183Z",1,"novelbin.me","d86b8f6c68e9bf1c62362dc28d5c3d89230e3c54f8ead2d9e3897fe361994e11","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-524","doted-by-the-regent-king-chapter-522",1685,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdoted-by-the-regent-king-cover.jpg"]
