The aftermath

When Shen Qingyan rushed into the door, what he saw was Liu Yue stabbing the dagger into Wang Yuanwai's chest. Wang Yuanwai fell down with his eyes wide open.

Liu Yue heard the commotion and looked back. Seeing that the person coming was Shen Qingyan, she breathed a sigh of relief, forced a smile, and said in as relaxed a tone as possible: "It's okay."

Shen Qingyan strode forward and took Liu Yue into his arms.

Liu Yue heard him say: "Don't be afraid."

Shen Qingyan was blocked at the door of Wang Yuanwai's residence. Officers and soldiers with swords and guns stood at the door with stern faces, prohibiting Shen Qingyan from approaching.

Because Shen Qingyan was on his way, only Shen Jingcheng, Li Zheng and Li Zheng's two sons were in the car. The group thought they were just catching a kidnapper, but they were a little panicked when officers and soldiers blocked the road.

Li Guang and Li Ming looked at each other, both wanting to retreat, and quietly tugged on their father's sleeves: "We can't afford to offend the officers and soldiers, why don't we withdraw first!"

How could the kidnapper's door be guarded by officers and soldiers? He obviously didn't see anyone reporting to Shen Qingyan. How did he find it directly?

It can’t be based on intuition, right?

He also wears a strange mask on his face, and it doesn't look right.

Li Zheng slapped his son on the head and cursed angrily: "Why retreat? Ling'an and Lady Liu haven't been found yet!"

Although he didn't know why Xiaoyan walked straight to the door of the king's residence, but how could ordinary officials let officers and soldiers guard the door? Something was wrong at first glance.

Li Guang rubbed his sore head and muttered: "It's useless for us to be here. Didn't you see the knives in the hands of the officers and soldiers? How many lives do we have? We want to force our way in."

Li Zheng was about to hit someone again, but Li Ming stopped him desperately: "Dad, what the eldest brother said is right. We can't break in, so why don't we think about it first?"

Li Zheng also knew that forcing his way in was not an option, but he was afraid that Miss Liu and Ling'an wouldn't be able to wait that long, so they lost their sense of proportion for a moment.

Shen Jingcheng looked at Shen Qingyan with a pale face: "Brother, what should we do now?"

I finally found the traces of Ling An and her sister-in-law, but I didn't expect that there would be officers and soldiers guarding the door.

Shen Qingyan didn't reply. He took out a cloth bag from his arms and held it in his hand. Both his mother and Liu Yue had told him not to take this thing out casually, but now it seemed that there was no other way.

"Get out of the way!"

A sharp shout interrupted Shen Qingyan's movements. Shen Qingyan looked back and saw Shen Yixiu jumping off the carriage, holding a token in his hand. Zeng Xian followed Shen Jingcheng and got out of the carriage, followed by a group of people. Team soldiers.

After seeing the token and Zeng Xian clearly, the officers and soldiers put down their swords and guns and knelt on the ground: "I have seen the prefect."

Zeng Xian signaled to the soldiers to take these officers and soldiers into custody, and then went into the house to search for them.

The servant guarding the door also tried to block the door, but was forced open by the soldiers brought by Zeng Xian.

Shen Qingyan grabbed a servant and asked, "Where is the little girl you captured today?"

The servant was suffocated by Shen Qingyan's terrifying aura. He didn't dare to hide it and pointed in the direction with a trembling finger.

Shen Qingyan threw away the servant and ran in that direction. Shen Jingcheng and Shen Yixiu followed closely behind.

Zeng Xian motioned to the four soldiers to follow him, and the rest began to search the mansion.

He wanted to see how many secrets were hidden in the palace outside the king's house, and how many officers and soldiers could be dispatched to guard it.

On the way here, I heard from Shen Yixiu that these people were probably the masterminds behind the kidnapping of their daughter, and that the kidnapping of Liu Yue and Ling An was for revenge.

The house was in chaos because of the fire and the arrest of the escaped girl. When he saw the officers and soldiers coming in, he immediately panicked, dropped everything in his hands and ran away.

Because Shen Qingyan followed the four officers and soldiers without encountering any obstacles along the way, and he saw the fluorescent powder sprinkled by Liu Yue shortly after entering the mansion, he walked unimpeded to the room where Liu Yue and Ling An were, and bumped into him. The scene where Liu Yue stabbed Wang Yuanwai's heart with a knife and Liu Yue smiled and said to him that it was okay.

Shen Qingyan held Liu Yue tightly in his arms, as if holding a lost treasure. Although Liu Yue pretended not to care, he still saw Liu Yue's fear and panic, and he held her in his arms. , and coaxed softly: "Don't be afraid."

Liu Yue dropped the hilt of the knife in her hand. She had no time to worry about the fact that the person holding her was underage, six years younger than herself. All she could think about was the warm touch of blood splashing on her face when the dagger was inserted into her chest. , the disgusting smell of blood filled her nostrils, the knife just now used up all her strength, she was a little weak at this time, leaning on Shen Qingyan and burying her head.

Even though she was ready to see blood when she came, the feeling of killing for the first time was still not very good. Her heart was beating violently out of her control, her palms were shaking all the time, and the sweat medicine seemed to still have its effect, which made her feel uncomfortable. Liu Yue's thoughts were a little slow. What kept her from falling into nothingness was Shen Qingyan's embrace and the words "Don't be afraid" in her ears.

Liu Yue hugged Shen Qingyan back hard.

She feels much better.

Shen Jingcheng and Shen Yixiu were a step late and saw a person lying in a pool of blood. The eldest brother hugged his sister-in-law and quickly stepped forward to check Shen Ling'an's condition.

"Ling'an, are you okay? Are you injured?" Shen Jingcheng checked his sister's body eagerly. When he saw the thin shirt under the robe, his eyes darkened. He kicked Wang Yuanwai who was lying in a pool of blood. One kick.

Shen Yixiu took Ling'an's pulse and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was fine.

I took the opportunity to check on the man lying in a pool of blood, and found that he still had a weak pulse, so I silently stabbed the knife in a few more times.

This time he was completely dead. Shen Yixiu clapped his hands with satisfaction.

The soldiers tied the servants at the door together and entered the house to find the culprit lying in a pool of blood. They stepped forward and checked his breathing to confirm that the culprit had died.

The four of them looked at each other and bowed to Liu Yue: "Miss Liu, we need your cooperation in the investigation."

They all knew that Liu Yue was retaliated for saving their Miss Zeng, and their attitude towards Liu Yue was very respectful.

But Liu Yue killed someone after all. No matter what the reason was, they took her into custody for interrogation.

Liu Yue had regained her composure under Shen Qingyan's comfort and nodded to express her understanding.

The soldiers were not in a hurry to take Liu Yue away, and sent two people to carry out Wang Yuanwai's body, leaving the remaining two people to guard Liu Yue and his party.

Shen Qingyan helped Liu Yue and Shen Lingan sit at the table and poured tea for them.

When Liu Yue drank water, she realized that her right hand was tightly held by Shen Qingyan, and her shyness came belatedly: "Let go."

However, Shen Qingyan did not listen to Liu Yue's instructions as usual, but instead held Liu Yue's hand tighter.

Liu Yue couldn't control him, so she had to drink tea with her left hand.

After resting for a while, Liu Yue's condition improved a lot, and the soldiers also completed the finishing work. Zeng Xian came in person to inquire about Liu Yue's situation, apologized for her being sought for revenge, and then hoped that Liu Yue and his party would follow

They went to the government office in Xianping City to rest for the night and cooperate with tomorrow's investigation.
