The gun hits the bird that sticks out, and anyway, there's still someone in front. Those walking in front are not afraid, so what is there to be afraid of for someone so far behind?
Feng Jin no longer hid, and swaggered in directly behind Ling Mo Han. Besides, this manor had long been hers. Returning to her own territory, she had nothing to fear.
After meeting Gu Bei Chen later, she would still charge him with trespassing on private property. In an instant, Feng Jin assumed the demeanor of a mistress catching a thief.
"Why did you take so long to return? And where did everyone on the manor go? There were still people serving me last time I was here, but now there's not a soul. There isn't even a hot cup of water. This young lord is almost dying of thirst."
Gu Bei Chen, who had arrived long ago, immediately began to complain when he saw the leisurely arriving Ling Mo Han and Feng Jin. He turned his uninvited visit into an accusation.
Feng Jin rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Young Lord Gu, your skill at arriving uninvited and trespassing on private property is truly second to none."
Ling Mo Han stood by, silent, watching their exchange, and had no intention of interfering.
"I was just passing by and came in to visit. Who knew there wouldn't be a single person here!" Gu Bei Chen explained righteously. Was this place truly a forbidden imperial palace that he couldn't even enter? It was clearly Feng Jin, that wicked girl, with ill intentions, deliberately making things difficult for him.
"You're clearly arguing for the sake of argument. You did this deliberately. You trespassed on private property, and we caught you red-handed. It's only now that you're trying to find an excuse. Given the situation, I want to see what else you can say. Today, I will definitely drag you to see the officials!"
Feng Jin's tone was very firm. She had finally found fault with Gu Bei Chen, so naturally, she wanted to make full use of it. No matter what, she had to make Gu Bei Chen suffer today to truly feel at ease.
As soon as her words fell, Feng Jin, without further ado, grabbed Gu Bei Chen and was about to drag him out.
Gu Bei Chen clearly didn't realize that Feng Jin was serious. He was immediately startled and shouted regardless, "Ling Mo Han... you bastard... you're just watching her bully me like this? You value women over friends, and forget your loyalty for beauty..."
"You can scream until your throat breaks, it's no use. Haven't you heard that brothers are like hands and feet, and women are like clothes? Have you ever seen a person go out without clothes? But some people can still live even if they lose a hand or a foot. As for you, a hand and foot that has rotted, festered, and is oozing pus, you should be chopped off with a knife and thrown into the sewer!"
Feng Jin's tone was extremely arrogant, her words like needles piercing Gu Bei Chen's heart. For a moment, he was so angry that he could barely breathe. He quickly pressed his hand to his chest, and only then felt a little better. He pointed at Feng Jin, his heart full of rage, but he didn't know what to say.
He stammered for a long time, and only managed to squeeze out a few words from his throat: "You... you..."
How could there be such a wicked woman in this world? Feng Jin was truly the tribulation of his life. If he could choose, he would rather never see Feng Jin again in his life.
"What 'you, you'? Come with me to the yamen and explain clearly why you trespassed on private property!"
As soon as her words fell, Feng Jin, without any hesitation, grabbed Gu Bei Chen's hand and pulled with all her might. Gu Bei Chen, on the other hand, clung tightly to a pillar, refusing to let go. The two of them formed a tug-of-war, and for a while, it was impossible to determine a winner.
Ling Mo Han sat there like an outsider, leisurely watching the two fight. Finally, he couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Alright, let's stop here. If you keep quarreling, won't you get tired?"
Gu Bei Chen shouted loudly at Feng Jin upon hearing Ling Mo Han finally speak, "Did you hear that? Your man has spoken, why aren't you letting go quickly!"
If Gu Bei Chen hadn't spoken like that, she might have considered her kindness and let him go. But the more he acted like this, the more she was determined not to fulfill Gu Bei Chen's wishes today.
She looked around, and finally her gaze landed on a rope that had been discarded long ago. She hooked it with her foot and brought it to her feet. Taking advantage of Gu Bei Chen's distraction,
Feng Jin flicked her hand within her sleeve, and a silver light flashed. In just a moment, Gu Bei Chen felt a sharp sting on his neck and shoulders, followed by a tingling sensation throughout his body. He could no longer move.
"You... what did you do to me? I... why can't I move!"
The sudden sensation was like a direct blow to the head. He felt weak all over, but his legs were no longer obedient. They stood rigidly in place, unable to move even an inch. He was like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
Feng Jin looked at Gu Bei Chen's current appearance with satisfaction, a smug smile on her lips. If Gu Bei Chen could move, it would be a disgrace to her reputation.
Holding a rope about two centimeters thick, Feng Jin measured it against Gu Bei Chen and then unceremoniously tied it around the man. Feng Jin looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction, a proud smile on her lips.
"Let me go... I am the Young Lord of Zhennan Prince. How dare you tie me up? I am...呜呜...唔..."
Gu Bei Chen's mouth was wide open, gagged with something that looked like a rag. His eyes were filled with disbelief and anger.
Feng Jin clapped her hands, dusting off the dirt. It was so comfortable without Gu Bei Chen's incessant noise filling the air.
"唔...唔...唔..."
With his mouth gagged, Gu Bei Chen could only make muffled sounds, unable to utter a single word.
The numbness subsided, and his limbs began to flail restlessly, attempting to break free from the rope. But the rope was too thick, and his strength was nowhere near enough to budge it. The more he struggled, the tighter the rope became, almost choking him.
"Stop wasting your energy. I used a knot specifically for tying pigs. The more you struggle, the tighter the rope gets. To save yourself some trouble, just stay quiet and well-behaved. Perhaps if I'm in a good mood, I'll let you go."
Hearing this, Gu Bei Chen felt a surge of humiliation, disgrace, and anger. He struggled with all his might, but after a short while, he gave up. The rope was simply too tight, and he was already struggling to breathe.
