I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

Jung Se-hoon gestured for everyone to stop arguing.

"Why don't you two brothers fight it out in front of me first?"

"Hongye, tell me, why can't we go to Yunqi Residence? What do you know about it?"

"And what about Qiu Yi's engagement? What's going on between her and Qin Ge? Explain everything to me!"

That's why they say old people are shrewd and clever. He and his eldest son, Zheng Hongyin, were both unaware of the inside story, but he was much calmer and more cautious.

"Let Shaoqing explain; he knows more details."

Zheng Hongye was still kneeling when he turned around and winked at his son.

Zheng Shaoqing immediately understood, "That's right, I was in the East China Sea before..."

It's just stalling for time, waiting for Steward Zhou to make his move. The fact that he didn't start from the creation myth of Pangu is already a sign of restraint.

On the other side, there is Yunqi Residence.

"Mr. Zhou, this is Yunxi Residence. Shall we go straight in and arrest them?"

Butler Zhou did not respond, but just squinted and watched, sniffing like an old dog.

Why does it smell so strongly of blood here?

"Mr. Zhou, shall we come in?"

"Perhaps we should observe the situation a little longer. People who can afford to stay in places like this are no ordinary people. We don't want to offend some important figure!"

The man's attempts to dissuade him not only failed, but also emboldened the housekeeper's cautiousness.

He sneered, "What kind of big shot is he? He's just one of Zheng Qiuyi's boyfriends."

"Just a greenhorn. The patriarch doesn't even respect Zheng Hongye, why would he be afraid of him?"

"Follow me, everyone. Grab them and leave. If there's anyone else inside Yunxi Residence, knock them out. Don't let them see our faces!"

"Including Zheng Qiuyi!"

Immediately, Steward Zhou took the lead and leaped into the Cloud Dwelling Residence.

The moment his feet touched the ground, he sensed something was wrong. A chill ran down his spine, and he thought, "This is bad!"

The others landed right after him, all completely bewildered.

Before Butler Zhou could finish speaking, he stomped his foot hard on the ground, trying to slip away.

"laugh--"

A beam of indigo light struck Butler Zhou precisely. Before he could even jump, the strength he had just gathered instantly dissipated, leaving his entire body limp.

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

The others were also hit by the indigo beam, and then more than a dozen figures quickly rushed out and surrounded them in an instant.

"You...who are you?" Butler Zhou struggled to support himself, his heart filled with horror.

This weapon looks like...

Xuan'an Bureau?!

He was confused and bewildered. Why would people from the Xuan'an Bureau be guarding Yunxi Residence with such a large presence?

He and the people he brought with them don't deserve such high attention, do they?

"Don't move!"

"laugh--"

Butler Zhou was shot again, and his body could no longer support him, so he knelt on the ground.

The other companions were all silent with fear. What kind of weapon was this? How come even a Heavenly Realm expert like Steward Zhou was powerless to resist it?

"How dare you!" Du Jian pressed his finger to the earpiece and strode over. "How dare you repeatedly trespass here? Do you think the people of our Xuan'an Bureau are scarecrows?"

"You're really from the Xuan'an Bureau?!" Butler Zhou was bewildered and terrified. What the hell was going on?

Why would people from the Xuan'an Bureau be here protecting Qin Ge?

Could it be that Qin Ge wasn't here at all, and that he knew all along that there were people from the Xuan'an Bureau at Yunxi Residence, so he deliberately said at Yunding Restaurant that if you wanted revenge, you should come to Yunxi Residence to find him?

It must be true, otherwise, how could Qin Ge have the audacity to not run away after injuring Young Master Zhan Ming, but instead leave his address to provoke the Zheng family?

Perhaps Qin Ge has already escaped from Beidu by now!

Just when Butler Zhou thought he had figured everything out, he was dumbfounded again.

"It's so lively!"

Qin Ge and Zheng Qiuyi appeared side by side.

"Qin Ge?"

"Miss Qiuyi?"

Before leaving for Yunxi Residence, Butler Zhou had seen Qin Ge's photo, which Dong Jin had captured from the surveillance footage.

It wasn't high-definition, but it was enough for him to recognize Qin Ge at a glance.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" Butler Zhou's mind worked quickly enough, and a smile appeared on his face as he spoke. "It's all a misunderstanding. We are from the Zheng family, and we are here to see Miss Qiuyi."

"Miss Qiuyi, you don't even recognize your old butler like me, do you?"

"Butler Zhou?" Zheng Qiuyi, Zheng Hongyin's trusted henchman, naturally recognized him. "How could it be you?"

"How could you do such a thing? Did my uncle send you?"

She looked heartbroken and said, "My uncle is so foolish!"

"It was indeed the patriarch who sent us." Butler Zhou smiled awkwardly, not giving it much thought. "The patriarch wants us to kidnap Qin Ge..."

"Uh, they want us to invite Mr. Qin Ge and Ms. Qiu Yi back to the Zheng family ancestral home, saying they have something to ask you in person."

"You really know each other?" Du Jian looked at Zheng Qiuyi questioningly. "Miss Zheng, are these really people from your Zheng family? Are they here to see you?"

"She is indeed from the Zheng family." Zheng Qiuyi nodded, and Butler Zhou and the others breathed a sigh of relief. However, Zheng Qiuyi's next words left them all dumbfounded.

"But Captain Du."

She paused for a moment, then pointed to the courtyard wall, "I didn't invite them here, and have you ever seen a servant climb over a wall to invite someone?"

"Although I'm reluctant to accept this fact, black is black, and white is white!"

"Captain Du, I suspect they, like those people from last night, came for Doctor Sun, but after you captured them, they happened to see me appear, so they used me as a shield!"

"In the face of such a major issue of right and wrong, I cannot show them any favoritism, much less lie and cover them up. Captain Du, please verify the facts clearly."

"We'll handle it as it comes. If their visit tonight was a personal matter, please clear the Zheng family's name!"

These words stunned not only Butler Zhou and the others, but even Du Jian was speechless for a while. "Miss Zheng, you really are... too clear about right and wrong, too righteous!"

Zheng Qiuyi blushed slightly. "Captain Du, you're exaggerating. I just don't want the Zheng family to be implicated. This is no small matter. I don't want the Zheng family to become the second Liang family."

After Zheng Qiuyi finished speaking, she turned her head and glared at Qin Ge. She was so clever and good at tricking people. Of course, those words were not her own idea, but Qin Ge's teaching!

She sighed inwardly, wondering if she had gone against the wishes of the Zheng family ancestors by doing this to her own family.

I can't worry about that now, I'll just get my uncle into trouble first.

Qin Ge smiled and reminded him, "Captain Du, they just admitted that they were sent by the head of the Zheng family. You should know who the head of the Zheng family is, right?"

"The rest of the work is up to you guys. Hurry up, or someone will run away!"

He glanced at Butler Zhou. "These people are probably similar to those from last night—very stubborn. They might refuse to talk or recant their statements. You'll have to keep a close eye on them!"
