Chapter 2131 Breaking in
Chapter 2131 Breaking in
The moment she saw the manor, Wan Shufang's expression paused. She witnessed Ming Ruyue walking in. She immediately sent a signal to call the secret guards.
The black-clad secret guards soon stood in front of them. Wan Shufang stared at the manor and said coldly, "Go and ask Chen Changli to bring the county magistrate here, quickly."
"Yes, ma'am."
The secret guard took the order and left, his figure disappearing into the night, while Wan Shufang kept staring at the entrance of the manor and was not in a hurry to go in.
After observing quietly for a long time and seeing that Ming Ruyue did not appear again, she sneaked in and found the mysterious man's room according to the route she remembered.
At the same time, on the other side, after receiving the news, Chen Changli immediately went to find the county magistrate.
The county magistrate was working in the study when Chen Changli suddenly broke in and, without saying a word, grabbed him and ran out, scaring the county magistrate so much that his voice began to tremble.
"Sir, where are we going?"
"You'll know when you get there." Chen Changli didn't waste time talking to him and left quickly with the person in his arms.
In the manor, Wan Shufang finally found the mysterious man's room, and sure enough, she saw Ming Ruyue there. She was smiling like a flower, and curled up in the man's arms as soft as a boneless person.
"Lu Lang, you've worked hard these days. I'm in the county magistrate's mansion, and every day is very tormented. I miss you terribly." Ming Ruyue said these sour words with her eyes full of affection, making people unable to refuse.
The man did not refuse, but held her face and kissed her slowly.
During the kiss, both of them felt a lot more relaxed and affectionate, and they didn't notice someone peeking at the door.
"Ruyue, blame me for being incompetent and letting you act cute in his house. Don't worry, I can take you away right away. We will fly far away and he will never find us again."
The man said sweet words, lowered his eyes and saw Ming Ruyue's blushing and charming face. His Adam's apple rolled and the blood rushed up his body. He couldn't help but want to kiss her again, but Ming Ruyue stopped him: "Lu Lang, someone will see us later."
"Of course I believe in you, so I will cooperate with you without hesitation." Ming Ruyue's face was full of shyness. She took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom, which was the one Wan Shufang gave her. "I used myself as bait to confuse those two big shots so that they could not stop our plan."
As soon as these words were spoken, the two of them burst into laughter, and Wan Shufang, who was hiding in the dark, also narrowed her eyes and pricked up her ears to eavesdrop.
This time, she made a point of clearing the area around her to make sure she wouldn't step on any branches again.
The man laughed a few times and hugged Ming Ruyue tighter. "Yes, Ruyue, we are almost successful. No matter how hard they try, they can't imagine that we were the ones who poisoned Crow Ridge."
Hearing this, Wan Shufang's pupils shrank suddenly, her lips slightly parted, and she was filled with doubt and confusion: "The poison in the stone was actually caused by them?"
She was wondering who had poisoned the stone.
Thoughts were flooding in, and all the clues flooded into Wan Shufang's mind in an instant. At the same time, Chen Changli also brought the county magistrate to find Wan Shufang.
The county magistrate had his mouth blocked and was forced to wait with them. As the two people in the room talked unscrupulously, all of Wan Shufang's doubts were soon answered.
It turns out that Ming Ruyue and the man in front of her are childhood sweethearts, and they are also in love with each other, but their thoughts are far more than just escaping from the county magistrate's mansion.
They poisoned the stones in Crow Ridge to poison the people, and then secretly sent people to Yongzhou City to sue the county magistrate. The evidence of his poisoning had already been hidden in the county magistrate's mansion!
"Who asked him to break up the couple and separate us on purpose? He deserves all this." Ming Ruyue gritted her teeth and said viciously. She drew circles on the man's chest with her fingers, making the man feel itchy.
He grabbed her hand and took a sip, his eyes full of greed. "Yes, when the court sends someone here, it will be his death. I want him to lose his position as an official, or even lose his life."
The county magistrate heard all these words verbatim. Looking at the intimacy between the two, he was so angry that he started shaking all over.
Feeling the person next to him shaking uncontrollably, Chen Changli reached out, pressed his shoulders, and shook his head at him.
He wanted to listen more to see if the two had any other plans, but the two people in the room suddenly became affectionate. Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, the county magistrate could no longer bear it and rushed in.
"You two dogs, I thought I was good to you. Do you think you are being unfair to me by doing this?" The county magistrate pointed at the two men's noses and cursed them angrily.
At this moment, the two men discovered someone squatting in the corner. Ming Ruyue shrank back, obviously frightened. The man was also frightened, but he quickly calmed down and opened his thin lips.
"Oh, what qualifications do you have to scold us? Aren't you also stealing someone's love? You are extremely hypocritical."
"You!" The county magistrate's fingers were trembling. He was so angry that he raised his hand to hit him, but he was pushed away by Chen Changli and fell into Chen Changli's arms.
Chen Changli raised the hilt of his sword and pressed it against his lower back to help him steady his steps. He said in a cold voice, "You two can't escape. You poisoned the people for your own selfish desires. Your crime is unforgivable."
"Mr. County Magistrate, it's time to give the order."
Hearing this, the county magistrate was slightly stunned, but he quickly realized that Chen Changli was giving him a way out. After all, one of the people opposite was his wife.
Now, the manor has been surrounded by Chen Changli's men. No matter how powerful they are, they can hardly escape. As long as the county magistrate gives an order, they can be arrested and brought to justice.
The county magistrate looked at Ming Ruyue with disappointment, but she didn't even look at him. She was only focused on her lover. He gritted his teeth and said, "Someone, take them back to the government office!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of men in black rushed in and trapped the two men.
"Someone, someone!" The man wanted to call for help, but even after he had shouted until his throat was hoarse, no one from the manor came. Seeing this, he stared at Chen Changli and Wan Shufang with an unpleasant expression: "I really underestimated you."
"You should save these words for the people you have harmed."
After he finished speaking, Chen Changli waved his hand, and the secret guards quickly stepped forward and took the two men away. When they returned to the yamen, the county magistrate ordered them to be thrown into jail.
But he still had thoughts about his wife in his heart and could not bear it. In the next few days, he went to the prison every day and interrogated the man.
"Ming Ruyue, after all these years, don't you have any feelings for me at all?" The county magistrate pleaded with his eyes and his voice trembled: "Even a little bit..."
Ming Ruyue couldn't help laughing after hearing the same questions for a few days. Maybe she was tired of his questions. She raised her head and looked at the person in front of her with a mocking expression: "No, I did everything by myself just to stay away from you."
"Listen carefully. Even if I die, I will never love you." Every word she spoke was clear and heart-piercing. The county magistrate completely collapsed and his expression was distorted for a moment.
