Chapter 61: Women Are the Embodiment of Beauty and Disaster

  "Who told you I was kidnapped? I'm fine, aren't I? Let me go quickly! And how's Zhao Fei?" Zhang Xue suddenly remembered that Zhao Fei was still by her side and hastily turned her head to look. She found that Zhao Fei had actually been lifted up by a thin man with both hands. Her heart became extremely anxious.

  "That's not possible, Master Zhang has given strict orders to ensure your safety, Miss. Once we find you, we must notify the master immediately. We can't let you go missing again. If that person is indeed your friend, you can explain it to the master in person. Now, I don't have the guts to just let him go." Wu Er's face was filled with worry, thinking that this young lady was so difficult to serve, unlike catching that little rascal.

  Zhang Xue thought so too, he hadn't been home for such a long time, his father must be worried. It's better to go back and explain things clearly to him first. "But you have to promise me not to hurt him, or I'll never let you off." Zhang Xue said a sentence that didn't quite carry enough weight.

  "Miss, don't worry. Let's hurry up and go see the old master instead. You've been missing for so long, the old master is worried sick." Wu Er said, pretending to be anxious.

  "Alright, but you mustn't bully Zhao Fei." At this moment, Zhang Xue still hadn't forgotten about Zhao Fei. If he were to find out, he would definitely be moved to tears.

  "Don't worry, big sister."

  "Master! Master!" Zhang Bo panted and ran in.

  "What's wrong?" Seeing Zhang Bo rushing in like this. Zhang Zhong also hastily got up to greet him, with a look of urgent concern on his face.

  "Good news! The young lady is back!" Old Zhang said with unusual excitement.

  "Xue'er is back? Where is she? Hurry up and take me to see her." Zhang Zhong didn't care about the master's face anymore, and hastily pulled Zhang Bo out.

  "Dad, I'm back." Zhang Zhong pulled him out of the house, and outside the door came Zhang Xue's silvery voice.

  Zhang Zhong rushed out and found that it was indeed Xue'er standing there, looking lovely. Zhang Zhong hurriedly ran over and hugged Xue'er tightly. "My good Xue'er, I thought you were dead."

  "Daaa~~~" Zhang Xuejiao called out shyly.

  "You too, you don't even tell your father when you go out." Zhang Zhong pretended to glare at Zhang Xue. "What if something happens to you? How can I live with myself? How can I face your deceased mother?"

  "Dad, I'm not a kid anymore, I know how to take care of myself. What do you say? You keep me cooped up at home all day, never letting me out. Can't you just let me go out and have some fun?" Zhang Xue said with a pout.

  "Is that how you see me, as an unenlightened father?" Zhang Zhong glanced at Zhang Xue. "Alright, hurry up and go inside."

  Zhang Zhong accompanied Zhang Xue into the house and gave Zhang Bo a glance, indicating that he could leave. Zhang Bo walked straight to Zhang Zhong's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

  "I know, you go down and take a look first. I'll be there in a moment." Zhang Zhong waved his hand.

  The old slave then took his leave first. After finishing speaking, Zhang Bo turned around and walked out.

  "Dad, what were you just talking about with Zhang Bo over there?" Xue asked curiously.

  "Nothing, good daughter, are you hungry? I'll get someone to make something for you to eat." Zhang Zhong asked lovingly.

  Zhang Xue touched her belly and said with a blush: "Actually, I wasn't hungry at first, but after you mentioned it, Dad, I really feel hungry now."

  "Xuě ér xiǎng chī xiē shén me, diē diē jiào rén gěi nǐ zuò." Zhāng zhōng yī liǎn cí xiáng zhī sè.

  Translation:

  "What do you want to eat, Xue'er? I'll have someone make it for you," Zhang Zhong said with a benevolent smile.

  "Anything will do, now that you mention it, Dad, I'm actually quite hungry."

  "Alright then. Someone come here!" Zhang Zhong shouted.

  "What are your orders, sir?" As soon as Zhang Zhong's summons was heard, two maidservants immediately walked in.

  "Miss is hungry, tell the kitchen to send some food over quickly." Zhao Fei instructed without even looking up as he saw the maid enter.

  "Yes, sir. I'll go and prepare now." The maid gave Zhang Zhong a curtsy before turning around and walking out the door.

  Just as Zhang Xue and Zhang Zhong were discussing what to eat, Zhao Fei was tied up with five flowers. There were also several tall and sturdy men standing next to him, staring at Zhao Fei without blinking. Looking at the several ill-intentioned men, Zhao Fei was really speechless, having no way to express his grievances. "With just this small arm and leg, I wouldn't even need to be tied up with five flowers, let alone being tied up, I couldn't run away anyway, do you have to stare at me like that? It's said that women are the cause of trouble, I didn't believe it before, but now in this situation, I have no choice but to believe it. Alas, if only I had known earlier, I shouldn't have turned back then. What a mistake!" Just as Zhao Fei was having these thoughts, an old man walked over.

  Zhao Fei looked up and saw the old man, feeling very familiar. "Where have I seen him before?"

  Just as Zhao Fei felt a sense of familiarity, Zhang Bo also felt that the young man in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't quite place where he had seen him before. This was understandable, as at the time Zhao Fei was still wearing very tattered clothes, and over the past few months he had been working out, so his body had undergone some changes. So Zhang Bo didn't recognize him right away either. But no matter how hard Zhang Bo looked, he couldn't believe that the person in front of him would be a kidnapper. Because Zhao Fei was really too thin and weak, even a young lady should have been able to resist him. There must be some hidden reason behind this.

  Zhang Bo did not rashly ask questions, he was observing Zhao Fei's actions and recalling what kind of person Zhao Fei really was.

  Looking at the increasingly familiar face, Zhao Fei tried hard to think. Suddenly, a person flashed into his mind. "Are you Zhang Bo?" Zhao Fei asked in doubt.

  When Zhao Fei asked this, Zhang Bo was also stunned. This kid actually knew himself, and he must have seen him before.

  "Who are you?" Zhang Bo asked in confusion.

  "I'm Zhao Fei, Zhang Bo, that night at Zhangjiabao, you opened the door for me and helped me beg for lodging, have you forgotten?" Zhao Fei said hastily.

  "It was you after all." Zhang Bo suddenly realized, no wonder it was so familiar, it turned out to be that little kid who stayed overnight that night. "You said you were from Zhaojia Village, how did you end up in the city?" Although he recognized Zhao Fei, Zhang Bo didn't untie him. He suspected that Zhao Fei had ulterior motives for appearing this time.

  "It's like that." Zhao Fei didn't rush to let Zhang Bosong bind, if so, it would only make people feel disgusted. "I came to the city to work and support my family."

  "What else can you do with a body as weak as yours?" Zhang Bo continued to ask.

  "Hehe." Zhao Fei chuckled and continued to say to Zhang Bo, "Actually, this job has a lot to do with the Zhang family."

  "What?" Zhang Bo was surprised and did not expect Zhao Fei to answer this way. "Then tell me, what have you done? How do you have a great relationship with the Zhang family?"

  "I am a partner invited by Zhang Baoren, the owner of Zhang's wine workshop. You said that my work has nothing to do with the Zhang family." Zhao Fei smiled and said to Zhang Bo.

  "Are you telling the truth? To deceive the Zhang family, from now on you will not be able to survive in Zhending City." Zhang Bo threatened.

  "This is natural. If you don't believe me, you can ask the shopkeeper of my house to come and ask him." Zhao Fei said fearlessly.

  Hearing Zhao Fei's words, Zhang Bo also believed about 80%.

  Friends! Throw me some more flowers!
