Zhou Wen knew that with Song Mingxuan's ability, sooner or later he would know that Qi Baohua was in his hands, so now that he had a trump card, Song Mingxuan should be the one who was anxious.
So after entering Nanjing City, he, Zhang Xiaoping and the others separated from the training troops of the second detachment and took Qi Baohua to the manor. He was careful to bring Qi Baohua into the military control area of the small camp because he was too conspicuous and had to explain when he was interrogated by the guards. After a while, and it is very likely that someone will spread the news to the military academy, then Qi Baohua will have to be transferred to the military academy.
According to his plan, Qi Baohua might force Song Mingxuan to jump over the wall if he didn't pay for the time being, and then the old and new accounts would be settled together. Therefore, taking Qi Baohua back to the manor to be imprisoned is currently the only option.
Of course, it won't take long. If Song Mingxuan doesn't make any move within a few days, he will have no choice but to hand it over.
Just when several people walked to the door of Liu's Manor, all wet, they were stopped by a young man.
"Stop, who are you?"
Zhou Wen saw the young man blocking the door of the manor. He was wearing a pair of glasses, a white shirt, a golden vest, black trousers, and a pair of leather shoes stained with mud. He looks like he is a kid from a rich family, and his features and eyes are somewhat similar to Liu Ruoshui.
Zhou Wen guessed that this young man might be a child of the Liu family, but he didn't know his relationship with Liu Ruoshui, so he smiled and said: "Hello, I am a friend of Brother Ruoshui. I have been living here temporarily recently. Who are you..."
"Of course I know you, but I didn't expect that the person my elder brother praised so much would actually do this kind of kidnapping. Aren't you an instructor in a military academy? What right do you have to kidnap people, and you are still a beggar? What do you have? What’s the plan?”
Only then did Zhou Wen realize that he might have been misunderstood. Thinking about it, it was indeed a bit against the rules for a few wet soldiers to drag a beggar tied like a rice dumpling into the manor.
You must know that Zhou Wen and the others hardly stopped along the way, and they had no time to change clothes. They were still muddy after training in the rain. In addition, after giving Qi Baohua some dry food and water on the way, they tied his hands. Take away.
Moreover, the brothers were resentful of this man's previous actions, so they simply tied a rope around his neck and led him away.
Qi Baohua was first chased for several miles by the men in black, and now he was tied up and walked for a long time. Although Zhou Wen had given him some dry food before, he was already exhausted, and he started wailing bitterly on the road, just asking for a rest. Take a break.
But Zhou Wen was unmoved. He wanted to punish Qi Baohua both physically and mentally, completely destroying his will, and the subsequent interrogation would be much easier.
Since Zhou Wen regards Song Mingxuan as his enemy, of course he must know something about this enemy's past, including his family background, personal connections, personal preferences, etc., and only his old classmate Qi Baohua knows these best.
Although Qi Baohua repeatedly vowed to cooperate with his superiors and expose Song Mingxuan's ugly face, Zhou Wen would rather believe in his own methods than to believe in this shameless person who has been labeled a "villain" in his eyes.
The rich man's name is Liu Ruoxi, Liu Ruoshui's half-brother. He has just turned seventeen this year. Although he is a commoner in the Liu family, his mother died young, so he has been favored by his father since he was a child.
Liu Ruoxi has been considered sensible and obedient since she was a child, and she also complied with her mother's last wish and studied in a church school since she was a child. However, she is already a devout Christian, and her ambition is to become a qualified pastor in the future and spread the word to the world. The Gospel of the Lord.
Although Liu Ruoxi is a Christian, he also has the characteristics of a teenager such as rebelliousness, curiosity, unwillingness to admit defeat, and strong emotions. Ever since he overheard the praise of Zhou Wen from his family elders, he has become competitive and curious, and wants to meet him. I saw this person who was not much different from me in age, but was praised by my elder brother as rare in the world and rare in the sky. Who is this person?
Therefore, when he and his family went out for an outing today, it happened to be raining heavily, so he came to the Liu Manor, which had been lent to Zhou Wen and located on the bank of Xuanwu Lake. On the one hand, he wanted to take shelter from the rain, and on the other hand, he wanted to see Zhou Wen.
Later, when the rain stopped, I walked to the gate of the manor for a walk. Not long after, I saw several muddy soldiers escorting a beggar.
Liu Ruoxi has been educated in Christian schools for many years. She has not been exposed to the bottom of society. Her mind is full of idealistic ideas such as benevolence, peace, kindness, goodness, etc. She does not like violence and the army very much.
At this time, he saw the beggar tied up in the distance pleading all the way, but those hard-hearted soldiers were unmoved and even kicked the beggar when he couldn't walk. A sense of justice overflowed in my heart, and when I saw these soldiers walking towards the manor, I guessed that they might be Zhou Wen and his men, and now I became very dissatisfied with Zhou Wen and his men's actions.
Moreover, in his mind, soldiers are a national machine and a powerful party, while beggars look like weaklings who are being bullied. Moreover, these soldiers have no sympathy or kindness at all. They are simply villains who bully others.
So when Zhou Wen and Yan Yuese talked to him, he felt quite disgusted. You are cruel and merciless to beggars and poor people, but you are smiling and polite to me, a rich man.
Zhou Wen looked at the young man in front of him with hatred clearly on his face and couldn't laugh or cry. He was about to open his mouth to explain, but he saw Liu's mother hurried from the manor and said anxiously: "Young Master, Mr. Zhou and the others We are all friends of the eldest young master, so let’s let them in quickly before we talk, and don’t neglect the guests.”
It was okay if Liu Ma didn't say this, but it had side effects when she said it. You must know that Liu Ruoxi is at an age where she is very competitive and has a strong sense of self-esteem, so she can be considered one of the owners of this manor. The eldest young master is a young master, so am I, the young master, not a young master?
Then he turned around and scolded Liu's mother.
"Mother Liu, you are also an old servant of our Liu family. How can you help outsiders speak for you? With me, the young master, you are not as effective as my elder brother."
Liu Ma's face turned pale with fright, and she quickly explained: "I don't dare, but... it's just that the third master also ordered..."
"What did Third Uncle say? Did Third Uncle say that you can turn your elbows outward so that instead of helping your own people, you can help outsiders?"
When Liu Ruoxi said this, a blush appeared on her fair face, and she was about to get angry.
Zhou Wen, however, couldn't bear to see Mother Liu being scolded by a young man who didn't know how to be generous at his age. You must know that since Zhou Wen and the others moved into the manor, Mother Liu's family of three had tried their best to manage the logistics of their lives, which saved Zhou Wen a lot. Not to mention that we have been together for a long time and have established some feelings with this honest and responsible family, but now I can't listen to it anymore.
