Chapter 331: Chapter 228: The Incident (Combined Chapter)_4

Several robust men looked towards the refined gentleman, who waved his hand dismissively, turned around, and boarded his carriage.

At that moment, Xiao Yuwen descended from the last carriage with four men and strode over. When he came face to face with Zhou Mikang, he launched a punch in Zhou Mikang’s direction.

Zhou Mikang deftly dodged and tripped Xiao Yuwen, causing him to fall to the ground. He scoffed with derision and got into the refined gentleman’s carriage.

"Young Master Mei, you said you’d let me have my revenge!" Xiao Yuwen, clutching his buttocks, called out to the refined man in the carriage.

"Go ahead and hit him, I can wait until you’re done before I leave," said the refined man as he stepped out of the carriage, leisurely watching the situation unfold, "you all rely on your own abilities, I won’t interfere." With that, he waved his hand at several strong men, "Don’t get involved, come down," and added, "if something in my carriage breaks, Xiao Yuwen, you’ll pay for it."

"Charge!" Xiao Yuwen gestured for his men to advance, but not a single one dared to move forward.

"Are you all deaf?" Xiao Yuwen bellowed angrily.

"Yes!" The men reluctantly moved towards the carriage, but before they could step forward, Zhou Mikang kicked them off, one by one. Then, watching his former subordinates sprawl on the ground, Xiao Yuwen’s temples throbbed with anger. Damn it, this was outright treachery! Clearly, they had not witnessed his ruthlessness!

In reality, he wronged those men—they had once been under Zhou Mikang, of course, as dismissed subordinates, and they both despised and feared Zhou Mikang intensely!

Now that the Zhou family was facing misfortune, they revelled inwardly, but when directly confronting Zhou Mikang, that instinctive fear surged in them. Recalling the brutal ways Zhou Mikang had dealt with them before, how could they possibly muster the courage for a direct confrontation?

They knew all too well that even if the four of them attacked together, they were no match for Zhou Mikang; rather than being beaten until even their grandmothers wouldn’t recognize them, it was better to take a lighter beating now.

Alas, in their fear once induced by Zhou Mikang, they had forgotten about Xiao Yuwen’s cunning.

"Let’s go," the man known as Young Master Mei waved to his subordinates, and the two cars sped away.

Xiao Yuwen snorted coldly, kicking each of his men one by one: "Seal the door!"

In the blink of an eye, the doors of the Zhou Family Ancestral Home were covered with seal strips.

Aunt Liu and Little Jing had received Zhou Mikang’s instructions earlier and hadn’t resisted. Each clutching a bundle, they stood outside the door, staring at the sealed doorway with sorrowful expressions.

Zhou Hanliang didn’t call everyone to get into the vehicle; instead, he hid quietly. At this moment, he couldn’t let Xiao Yuwen see him, or it would be impossible to safely send all these people back.

After the seals were placed, Xiao Yuwen turned to the folks standing dumbly at the door and grinned, "The Zhou family is "anti-revolutionary"...." With a pushing motion, he added, "down they go!"

The expressions on the crowd’s faces became even more complicated.

They thought Chuxia had married into a good family, but they never expected such an outcome; if only they had known, they thought, it would’ve been better to marry into an ordinary family! — This was what Zhao Yuying, Lin Baojuan, Li Aiyuan, and others were thinking.

Just as I thought, Lin Chuxia wasn’t that lucky after all. Turns out, it was indeed this way. Humph, it’s a good thing that I (my daughter) didn’t marry into such a family! — This was the thought that Lin Xiaohua and Zhao Qiyan, mother and daughter, shared.

Better to marry into the Qiang Family in peace, thankfully — this was Wang Meifeng’s thought.

As for Old Master Zhao, Old Lady Zhao, and Chen Fenggang, they were anxious and uneasy. They neither saw the situation as utterly disastrous nor overly optimistic, but they knew that they couldn’t help much at this moment; getting away safely was the best assistance they could give.

As for Luo Xiaoqiong, she was completely stunned by the event.

When Chuxia left, she had told Xiaoqiong to take good care of everyone. Xiaoqiong hadn’t asked much but never expected such a result. Now, all she could think about was seeing Chuxia as soon as possible, to see if she could be of any help.

After observing everyone for a while, Xiao Yuwen’s smile grew more smug. He waved at everyone: "I am actually quite magnanimous. Following the leader’s instructions, none of you can leave. However, I think, since all of you are relatives of Lin Chuxia and just ordinary farmers, there’s no need for you to be punished along with the Zhou family.

That would be too unjust for you. After all, you don’t really know the Zhou family members, and I guess you haven’t benefited from them either, so why should you suffer because they are in trouble now, right?"
