Chapter 600: You wouldn't mind if I borrowed Madam a few more times, would you?

Fifth update.

In fact, Min Rou had already washed her face with cold water several times before this,

otherwise, the flush on her face

would have been obvious even to a fool.

Unfortunately, even so,

she still looked as if she were dripping with beauty,

and she didn't even dare to show a smile,

only able to feign seriousness to cover it up:

"Senior Brother, Yu'er has been abducted."

Shi Qing asked in surprise upon hearing this:

"Abducted? What happened?"

Gu Hanyuan said with an annoyed expression:

"Uncle Shi, I went out of the city to investigate intelligence last night. Returning this morning, I found the guards at the cell holding Shi Zhongyu had been knocked out, and Shi Zhongyu was already gone. Clearly, he was secretly abducted by some expert during the night."

Shi Qing pondered and asked:

"But who would go to abduct Yu'er?"

Gu Hanyuan said with a solemn tone:

"I think the greatest possibility is still the Changle Gang. They withdrew from Jiangling City yesterday, and their branch is empty now. It is highly likely they snuck into the Ling residence while I was out last night and took Shi Zhongyu away."

Bei Haishi of the Changle Gang indeed had some ability,

at least he had some self-awareness.

Ever since he personally felt Gu Hanyuan's power,

he felt that the possibility of snatching the "Liancheng Jue Treasure" under Gu Hanyuan's nose was not high.

Rather than being dragged into fighting the bandits outside the city when the time came,

it was better to retreat while the going was good,

preserve strength, and withdraw early.

Therefore, the people from the Changle Gang had collectively withdrawn from Jiangling City yesterday.

Gu Hanyuan had also heard this intelligence,

which was why he decided to pin the blame on the Changle Gang.

And if nothing went wrong,

the Changle Gang would likely find Shi Potian, who looked extremely similar to Shi Zhongyu, as a substitute.

As long as Shi Zhongyu didn't come out to confront them,

his lie would be rounded off smoothly.

After Shi Qing thought for a moment,

he also felt that what Gu Hanyuan said made sense,

and agreed:

"Put that way, there is indeed some possibility."

Gu Hanyuan said apologetically:

"This matter is due to my poor guarding, which is why I came to apologize to the two uncles."

Shi Qing was an upright person,

and comforted him upon hearing this:

"How can this be blamed on you, Nephew?"

Gu Hanyuan said regretfully:

"It's a pity that the situation in Jiangling City is complex now, and I don't have the leisure to pursue him for the time being."

Shi Qing's expression stirred.

Although he was upright,

he was not without parental love.

Seeing that Shi Zhongyu didn't have to be immediately taken back to Wudang for execution,

he decided to take the opportunity to let him hide for a while.

Once the heat died down,

Shi Qing would then go to plead with Zhang Sanfeng,

which should be able to save Shi Zhongyu's life.

Therefore, Shi Qing laughed heartily:

"No need to trouble yourself with this matter, Nephew. This rebellious son has committed a great crime, and it is only right that we personally escort him back to Wudang to be punished."

Gu Hanyuan hesitated for a moment,

pretending to have seen through it without saying it, and sighed:

"That is also fine, then it will be left to the two uncles."

Then he said goodbye to the two:

"Two uncles, I have matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first."

Shi Qing also discovered that Gu Hanyuan had seen through his thoughts,

and was feeling somewhat awkward,

but hearing him say he would leave Shi Zhongyu to the two of them to handle,

he immediately understood Gu Hanyuan's meaning,

and accepted this favor with emotion,

his tone becoming much more cordial:

"Since you have important matters, Nephew, go ahead and get busy. If there is anything you need from us, feel free to speak up."

Gu Hanyuan bowed in thanks:

"Thank you, Uncle."

Gu Hanyuan took the opportunity while bowing to cast a subtle glance at Min Rou,

which caused her to turn bright red,

lowering her gaze and not daring to look at the two.

Because she understood the meaning in Gu Hanyuan's eyes:

"Uncle, you wouldn't mind if I borrowed Madam a few more times, would you?"

After Gu Hanyuan left,

Shi Qing praised:

"Nephew is not only upright in character and skilled in martial arts, but more importantly, he is knowledgeable about human feelings and understanding. If we didn't have a daughter, we would definitely have betrothed her to him."

Min Rou rolled her eyes subtly,

thinking angrily in her heart:

"You don't have a daughter to betroth to him, but he has already used your wife as his own wife, what more daughter do you need?"

The experience Gu Hanyuan gave Min Rou last night was completely different from before.

If there was only hatred and shame before,

now there were some indescribable emotions added.

Seeing Min Rou remain silent,

Shi Qing frowned and asked:

"Junior Sister, why aren't you speaking? Are you still angry?"

Shi Qing saw that Min Rou remained silent.

He frowned and asked:

"Junior Sister, why aren't you saying anything? Are you still angry?"
