Chapter 143: How Can Someone Cause Such a Huge Disaster

Du De Sheng was so shocked by Du An Rao’s fierce performance that his jaw hung open and he did not react for a long time.

When he finally turned his head, he saw Du Jun Yan and Xi Jing Yue standing stupidly on either side of him and his beloved, like left and right bodyguards. The corners of his mouth twitched hard twice.

He scolded: “What is wrong with you two? Your Grandma Qin and I are old, we cannot help in a fight. But you two are young, strong men with good arms and legs, yet you still did not go up to help. You let An An hold the front line all by herself. Aren’t you ashamed?”

Du Jun Yan calmly pushed up his glasses, not feeling guilty at all, and said in a deep voice: “Granduncle, you do not know. Before we came, Second Brother warned me again and again. He told me that when there is a fight, I have to stay far away so I do not affect An An’s performance.”

He continued: “They say An An studied under the Descendants of Yuan Tian Gang and she has innate divine strength. She once saved him from seven or eight big bodyguards, each weighing more than two hundred jin. With my tiny level of skill, if I ran over, not only would I not help, I might hold her back.”

Xi Jing Yue quickly agreed: “Yes, yes, yes! I can prove it. I was there that day and saw it with my own eyes. So I know my own limits very well. It is not that I was hiding and refusing to help.”

Sadly, this explanation did not satisfy Du De Sheng.

He gave the two of them a very disgusted look, as if he were saying: You two useless pastries actually dare to say that out loud. How embarrassing, ptui.

Du Jun Yan and Xi Jing Yue: “…” They really could not argue with that.

Qin Shou Ye saw that so many people together could not even handle one little girl. He also saw that Du Jun Yan and Xi Jing Yue were guarding the two veterans the whole time, giving him no chance at all. Unwilling to accept it, he gritted his teeth and decided to use the chaos to run away first.

But just as he reached the front gate, he happened to meet another group of more than ten bodyguards rushing over.

With their help, things became much easier for Du An Rao and the other fighter.

A few minutes later, sharp police sirens tore through the night sky and stopped the fight before it could get any worse.

The villagers, whose heads had been heated by hot blood, finally calmed down. Their expressions changed.

“Police officers? Did they really call the police? Could what they just said be true?”

Realizing this, many people who had taken part in the fight were badly scared. They threw down the tools in their hands and ran away as fast as they could, afraid that if they were a second late they would be caught.

The village chief and Qin Shou Ye also wanted to run, but a few of Du De Sheng’s bodyguards were watching them closely. There was no way for them to escape.

The quicker villagers had just finished running away when, in the next moment, the Qin Family’s small courtyard was surrounded on all sides.

The first person to rush in was a man in his early forties. He wore a suit and gold-rimmed glasses and looked gentle and refined.

Because he had come in such a hurry, his forehead was covered in sweat and his hair was a bit messy. The whole person looked a little embarrassed.

He called out: “Ninth Master, are you alright? Why did you come here without telling us first? If something bad happened to you here, we really would not be able to explain!”

Du De Sheng’s face sank. He slammed his cane on the ground so hard that it echoed.

He said coldly: “I would not dare trouble you, Mr. Jiang. I have seen a bit of the world, but I truly did not know that in this day and age, in one’s own home, there is still a place where people are so quick to shout about beating and killing, use private punishment, and are not scared even when someone says they will call the police. If you had come any later, I am afraid people would be collecting the bodies of us two old folks and our juniors.”

Mr. Jiang was sweating hard. He hurried to apologize: “It is my fault. It is my neglect. I never thought that under my watch there could still be such a lawless place where people do not understand the law at all, and that it would frighten you and your family, Ninth Master. Please be at ease. We will definitely give you and your family a proper explanation.”

Du De Sheng said: “It is not only this. My beloved was kidnapped by them and locked up here. They abused and mistreated her. She suffered so much. This absolutely cannot be brushed aside. Everyone involved in this matter, every last one, must be arrested.”

“There is even such a thing?” Mr. Jiang was shocked. The look he gave Qin Shou Ye and the others seemed to say: How can a person cause such a huge disaster?

He said: “Please rest assured. Kidnapping and unlawful imprisonment, abuse and torture, any one of these already seriously breaks the law. Even if you did not speak up, there is no way we would let such black sheep run free. I will send people to investigate right away and find out how many are involved. We will not let a single one slip through the net.”

Du De Sheng snorted: “It had better be that way.”

“A Sheng…” Grandma Qin listened to the two men talking, her face full of surprise. For a moment she was not sure what kind of status her lover had now.

As soon as Du De Sheng heard Grandma Qin’s voice, he did a live Sichuan Opera face change. He instantly put on a smiling face, moved to her side, and asked gently: “What is wrong?”

The onlookers: “…”

Only Du An Rao quietly hid behind Du Jun Yan and Xi Jing Yue, covering her mouth with a teasing look like she was watching a ship she liked.

[ Tsk tsk tsk, Granduncle looks kind of handsome when he is being all strong and protective of his wife! Isn’t Grandma Qin going to be completely charmed? My beloved is a peerless hero who came back after many years, stepping on colorful clouds to pick me up. This is like a myth novel coming true. I am so shipping this! ]

Xi Jing Yue could not hold it in and let out a snort: “Pfft… that is actually pretty accurate.”

Du Jun Yan: “…” [ Little sister, just how many brainless, dog-blood romance stories have you been reading lately? You cannot just throw your brain away like that! ]

Grandma Qin’s old face turned red at his words. She glared at Du De Sheng in shame and anger.

Du De Sheng, however, felt that his little lucky star had great taste. She had seen right through the reliable nature that lay under her Granduncle’s handsome surface. His tail almost could not help rising up to the sky.

Only when Grandma Qin twisted him hard, unable to bear it anymore, did he finally pull himself back a little. He cleared his throat and said: “Yan Qing, do you think the way I am handling this is too harsh and heartless, since they are your relatives?”

“But they treated you like that and harmed you this badly. You have suffered so much. Just thinking about it makes my heart ache. How could they treat you that way? If we do not teach them a lesson, I really cannot swallow this anger.”

Everyone listening got goosebumps: “…” Ew.

Even Du An Rao watched happily, not afraid of the situation getting any bigger.

[ Oh my, what a strong smell of tea! There is no mistake. This has to be a pot of old green tea that has been steeped for half a century. ]

Du Jun Yan and Xi Jing Yue: “Pfft…”

Du De Sheng: “…” Girl, please give me some face and do not tear down your Grandfather like that. Grandfather will give you a big gift when we go back.

Grandma Qin was also amused by Du An Rao’s sharp roast. She laughed and said: “What kind of person do you take me for? They worked with the people around me to steal my family property, kicked me out of my own home, and even wanted my life. How could I speak up for them? It is not like I am some saint with nowhere to put my kindness who wants to go sit at the foot of Leshan.”

“I just want to ask you: are you really sure you can send them all in? If you are not, I can do it myself.”

Du De Sheng: “…” Was his wife looking down on him?

Du Jun Yan: “…” Why does this future Grandmother look even fiercer than Granduncle?

Du An Rao: “Pfft…”
