Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Master of the Zhang Family

  At the same time that Zhao Fei was accompanying the anxious Zhang Xue as she hurried towards the Zhang estate, the Zhang estate itself had also fallen into a state of panic due to Zhang Xue's disappearance.

  Zhang Zhong, the current head of the Zhang family in Zhen Ding, is also Zhang Xue's father. At this moment, Zhang Zhong has a deep and solemn expression as he stares at the small servant kneeling below him. Zhang Zhong's mood is extremely heavy, although he hasn't said anything, the dignity of the head of the household is evident. The entire room is filled with Zhang Zhong's aura, and the servant in the hall lowers his head, trembling all over. The whole house is silent.

  "Bang!" Zhang Zhong slapped heavily. "Speak! Where did the young lady go?"

  Zhang Zhong's sudden movement startled Xiao Shuai. His body, which was already trembling with fear, almost fell to the ground after being startled by Zhang Zhong. "I... I... really don't know, Master."

  "I told you before I left to take care of the young lady, now she's nowhere to be found." Zhang Zhong glared at the servant, his face dark and terrifying.

  "I really don't know, sir." The young servant's voice was choked with sobs as he kept kowtowing to Zhang Zhong.

  "You don't know who knows." Zhang Zhong slapped the table again. "Let you take good care of Miss, but you're neglecting your duty, you damned dog slave. Are you trying to die?" Just then, Zhang Zhong raised an eyebrow, and a hint of murderous intent had already appeared between his eyebrows.

  "Spare my life, sir! Spare my life!" The little servant was crying and knocking his head repeatedly. You should know that Zhang Zhong's words were not spoken in jest.

  "Spare my life, you can't even take care of yourself, what's the point of sparing you. Come on..." Just as Zhang Zhong was furious and about to call someone, Zhang Bo rushed in from outside the house. Without looking at the servant who was still kowtowing on the ground, he walked straight to Zhang Zhong's side, whispered a sentence in his ear, and saw that after Zhang Bo finished speaking, Zhang Zhong's face became even darker and his anger intensified.

  Looking at the little servant kowtowing on the ground, Zhang Zhong felt an indescribable disgust in his heart. "Get out."

  Upon hearing Zhang Zhong's words, the young servant was overjoyed. "Thank you, sir, for sparing my life, thank you, sir, for sparing my life." The young servant repeatedly said while kowtowing.

  "Old master told you to get out, why aren't you getting out?" Zhang Bo made a hand gesture in secret, and the little servant saw Zhang Bo's gesture, hastily got up, dragging his exhausted body, and quickly ran out. Looking at that flustered figure, it was clear that the little servant had received a great shock. It was also true that no matter what, he had walked around the Ghost Gate, and who could remain calm?

  Jian Xiaoyi had already walked far away, Zhang Zhong said to Zhang Bo beside him: "Alright, bring in Xiao Zhao."

  "Yes." Zhang Bo bowed and then walked out the door. Before long, he led a young man in.

  Seeing Zhang Bo leading a young man in, Zhang Zhong was also stunned. "Zhang Bo, who is this? Isn't it Xiao Zhao?"

  "This is Little Chao." Zhang Bo pointed at the young man behind him and said to Zhang Zhong. The young man, being asked by Zhang Zhong, obviously took a step back.

  "Look up and tell me what's going on," Zhang Zhong said in a warm voice. Although they were both servants, there was a big difference between them. After all, Xiao Zhao had been living with Zhang Xue since childhood, and although they were master and servant, their feelings for each other were as close as sisters. Zhang Xue also had very good feelings towards this maid, and had never scolded her loudly before. Similarly, Zhang Zhong was also a loving person, and had never lost his temper with Xiao Zhao.

  "It's like this, sir..." Xiao Zhao recounted the fact that Zhang Xue had disguised herself as a man to escape and also reported that Zhang Xue was now missing.

  "What? Xue'er is gone." As soon as Zhang Zhong heard that his daughter was missing, he was shocked. Zhang Zhong's face turned pale and he lost the strong and overbearing aura he had just now. He looked like a frantic father, like an old man on his last legs. Zhang Zhong hastily walked to Xiao Zhao's side and grabbed her arm.

  "Speak! What exactly happened." Xiaozhao apparently couldn't take Zhang Zhong's sudden movement, and saw Xiaozhao's eyes redden, then burst into tears.

  "What are you crying about? I'm asking you a question, where did Miss Xiao go?" Seeing Xiaozhao cry, Zhang Zhong's anger intensified. He loudly shouted at Xiaozhao.

  Upon hearing Zhang Zhong's angry roar, Xiao Zhao became even more frightened and her crying grew louder.

  "I knew you'd cry. I asked you where Miss went, but you won't even answer me." Zhang Zhong shook Xiao Zhao violently, his face twisted in a fierce scowl.

  "I really don't know, old master." Xiao Zhao had been intimidated by Zhang Zhong's expression and was now at a loss, staring at him in terror.

  Seeing the situation, Zhang Bo hastily grabbed hold of Zhang Zhong. "Master, being anxious is useless now, our top priority is to arrange for the house servants to search..."

  After listening to Zhang Bo's words, Zhang Zhong also felt that he had been a bit too aggressive and emotional just now. But there was no way, Zhang Xue was an irreplaceable treasure in Zhang Zhong's heart. When he heard that Zhang Xue was gone, how could Zhang Zhong remain calm? He took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.

  "Summon all the servants at once and search immediately. Also, inform Zhang's shops in Zhending City to find Miss for me before nightfall." Zhang Zhong ordered.

  Zhang Bo nodded in agreement, just about to turn around and leave, when Zhang Zhong's voice came from behind him again. "Also, have someone bring my token of identification to pay a visit to the Governor and the city gate guards, and ask them to be on high alert for anyone resembling Miss. Even if we have to turn Tian Ding City upside down, I must find Miss before nightfall." When mentioning the Governor, Zhang Zhong's face showed a hint of unnaturalness, but he still spoke out.

  At the same time, Zhao Fei accompanied Zhang Xue on her way to the Zhang Mansion, and both of them thought so. At this moment, neither of them knew that Zhang Xue's disappearance had already caused a great sensation in Zhending City.

  "How come we haven't arrived yet? Is this really the right road?" Zhao Fei looked around, but didn't see any sign of Zhang's residence.

  "How was I supposed to know? Today is actually the first time I've gone out alone. I thought you knew." Zhang Xue's straightforward tone left Zhao Fei completely helpless.

  "What's next now." Zhao Fei numbly looked around, without a hint of familiarity.

  "What's the point, anyway? You're just going to send me back home." Zhang Xue replied carelessly. At this moment, Zhao Fei felt a sense of despair and buried his face in his hands, crying.

  "What's wrong with you? You don't even know where my home is, do you?" Zhang Xue finally asked, seeing Zhao Fei's unusual expression.

  "What do you think? That's your home, not mine, how would I know?" Zhao Fei glanced at Zhang Xue.

  Zhang Xue hastily grabbed Zhao Fei's arm and asked pitifully: "What to do?"

  Looking at Zhang Xue's pleading eyes, Zhao Fei suddenly felt a surge of confidence. "With beauty in hand, I have the world at my feet. Indeed, heroes find it hard to resist beautiful women." Zhao Fei couldn't help but think smugly to himself. "Don't worry, with me around, I'll definitely help you find your way home."

  "Is what you're saying true?" Zhang Xue asked with a hopeful tone.

  "Of course, don't worry." Zhao Fei nodded firmly at Zhang Xue. "Alright, let's go and ask someone, with the influence of the Zhang family in Zhending City, there must be someone who knows."

  "Uh-huh." Zhang Xue nodded.

  "Let's go then, maybe we can still get you home before dark."
