Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots
Chapter 202 - 202 202 - Rescuing Little Sister_1

Chapter 202: Chapter 202 – Rescuing Little Sister_1 Chapter 202: Chapter 202 – Rescuing Little Sister_1 In Li Chang’s heart, he actually had no idea about Lao Fan’s specific identity because after all, he didn’t even know Lao Fan’s real name.

He only knew of Lao Fan’s exceptional medical skills and his vast connections in the Capital.

As for Xia Zheng’s identity, he knew even less, just that Lao Fan was very fond of him.

For the sake of Lao Fan, if not the monk then the Buddha, Li Chang would accommodate Xia Zheng accordingly, which was why he initially heeded his words and had locked up Wang Tianba and the others.

However, when Xia Zheng touched his pride, Li Chang no longer cared who Lao Fan was.

Moreover, capturing Xia Zheng might even make Lao Fan come to him with a brazen face to beg for his release, allowing Li Chang to sell a huge favor to Lao Fan.

Then he would see if the old geezer dared not to come and treat him again!

“You, how dare you!” Knowing that Xia Zheng was neither a bandit nor here for revenge, Li Chang immediately became domineering, raising his finger and yelling, “Guards, what are you waiting for?

Seize this arrogant man for me at once!”

His eyes swept over Lin Yuan, who was sitting upright on her horse, a flash of lechery in Li Chang’s eyes as he sneered, “And this female bandit, seize her as well for me!”

The family retainers, frightened by Xia Zheng’s whip, hurriedly squeezed forward with their clubs to apprehend them at Li Chang’s command.

Lin Yuan, sitting on the horseback, showed no sign of panic or fear—since Xia Zheng dared to barge into Li Chang’s private residence, it meant he must have prepared accordingly.

Indeed, Xia Zheng kicked the retainer closest to him to the ground and pulled out a palm-sized token from his bosom with a cold laugh, tossing it in front of Li Chang.

Li Chang thought that the glittering object was gold and hurriedly picked it up.

Upon closer inspection, his body that had just stood up instantly went limp, and he fell to his knees with a plop, his forehead knocking against the ground, trembling so much that he couldn’t speak for a long moment.

Seeing their master in such a state, the retainers understood what was happening and quickly retreated with their clubs.

“This subordinate has eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai.

Please, please two…”

Shaking, Li Chang finally squeezed a few words out of his mouth, but before he could finish, Xia Zheng coldly cut him off, “Spare me that nonsense!

I’m asking you, aren’t you familiar with all the brothels in Zhuma Town?

Don’t tell me you don’t know!

I haven’t been fooling around in Zhuma Town all this time!”

Li Chang broke out in a cold sweat from his scolding, his mind racing with calculations.

Luckily, other than his lust, he had no other vices, otherwise wouldn’t this little tyrant tear him into pieces?

“Yes, yes, this subordinate…

knows them all well.

Let’s not talk about those brothels, even the smaller places, this subordinate…

is also very clear about,” the cold sweat from his forehead dripping into his eyes.

Li Chang didn’t even dare to wipe it away as he nodded and complied.

Lin Yuan was disdainful.

Familiar?

It seemed there wasn’t a single brothel in Zhuma Town he hadn’t been to.

No wonder Xia Zheng had thought of Li Chang first when mentioning the brothel.

It was impressive how he, as a local official, managed to visit the Brothel Building daily to understand the people’s sentiments!

Xia Zheng had no doubt about his words, as if it would only be wrong if he couldn’t explain clearly.

He took back his token from Li Chang’s raised hands and put it away, saying coldly, “I see you have quite a few servants, just right to help me find someone!”

Upon hearing that Xia Zheng was looking for someone and not for trouble with him, Li Chang quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked obsequiously, “May I inquire, Young Master, who are you looking for?

As long as I am involved, I can ensure she will come and pay her respects to you obediently.”

Lin Yuan frowned.

This Li Chang seemed to think of Xia Zheng as the same kind of goods as himself, believing he was looking for a brothel beauty to serve him.

Xia Zheng could clearly hear the implication and gave him another kick on the shoulder, saying coldly, “I’m looking for my sister!”

Li Chang’s attempt at flattery had backfired miserably, and while he was secretly relieved that his punishment was only a kick rather than a cut, he promptly ordered the butler to summon all the household servants to start the search.

Seeing that Xia Zheng and Lin Yuan had gone to give the butler a description of Xiao Linshuang’s age and appearance, Li Chang hurriedly scrambled up from the ground, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve while muttering to himself, “Sister?

Didn’t he only have an elder brother?

When did he get a sister?”

With Li Chang, who knew everything about brothels, and dozens of servants from the Li Mansion, not to mention the servants from Fuman Building and even the chefs all joining the hunt, such a grand mobilization was bound to find Xiao Linshuang.

Not just Xiao Linshuang; even Lin Dashuan, who had taken Silver and holed up in a remote tavern to alleviate his alcohol cravings, was dragged out and taken to the Government Office.

When Lin Yuan found her sister in a small brothel named Lichun Pavilion, Xiao Linshuang was pouting as the old madam threatened her with sweet cakes to stop her from making a fuss.

Despite being a foodie, the little girl always remembered her elder sister’s instructions, never to eat food given by strangers, especially those who spoke sweetly.

Fortunately, Xiao Linshuang had just been sold, and the carriage arranged by the old madam to transfer her had not yet managed to take her away; otherwise, if she had been taken to another place, they might have never had the chance to reunite.

Upon hearing that his beloved disciple had been kidnapped, Lao Fan, who was feasting at Fuman Building, immediately became unsettled.

His own disciple had been snatched away before he was done with her!

This was an outright insult to him!

Taking his Silver Needles with him, Lao Fan didn’t care about his old legs or his unfilled stomach and also joined the search.

All the while, he kept muttering under his breath, vowing to turn those who kidnapped his disciple into a porcupine.

However, the old gentleman burst into tears the moment he laid eyes on Xiao Linshuang, scolding and disciplining her even faster than Lin Yuan could, berating her with, “You useless thing, didn’t you know to poke them with the Silver Needle?” and “See if you still disdain learning about poisons now,” and so on and so forth in a lengthy tirade.

Even the originally tearful Xiao Linshuang was made to feel awkward by his fussing, comforting him like a little adult, patting Lao Fan’s grizzled hair and whispering, “There, there, I’m fine, aren’t I?

Don’t worry, and stop crying, or you’ll embarrass us both!”

Lin Yuan, who was still feeling sentimental, couldn’t help but be amused by the old and the young duo and involuntarily turned her head and gave a slight smile to Xia Zheng standing beside her.

Xia Zheng, who was about to make fun of Lao Fan, was instantly captured by that breathtaking smile, showing his white teeth and bursting into laughter.

After all the turmoil they had been through, it was getting quite late, and their parents would be worried if they didn’t return home.

Lin Yuan immediately asked Liu Limin and Lan Hua to take Xiao Linshuang back first to let them know everything was all right.

Lao Fan, worried about his newly recovered precious disciple, also followed them home.

Lin Yuan, however, did not leave.

There was a menace in the Government Office waiting for her attention.

The coldness in her eyes could not be concealed when she thought of the beast who had abducted her sister.
