Chapter 104 A May-December Romance? Interesting.

In the nick of time, Jiang Yutang grabbed the stun gun and rushed forward, stabbing the woman hard in the back while pressing the button.

"Sizzle—"

With a soft sound, the woman froze, her eyes rolled back instantly, her body trembled uncontrollably, and the dagger in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter. She then fell straight into unconsciousness.

Jiang Huaiyu stared in shock at the stun gun in Jiang Yutang's hand, her face full of astonishment: "What is this thing?"

"I bought it casually from a merchant, who said it was for self-defense."

Jiang Yutang casually explained, his eyes fixed on the fleeing crowd around him: "It's not safe for us to stand in the middle of the crowd. We need to go to a secluded spot on the side and wait for them to come back."

Jiang Sumin nodded and led the way: "Follow me, there's a thicket over there where we can hide and observe the situation."

Without delay, everyone quickly ran towards the bushes, trying to avoid the chaotic crowd and keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.

Jiang Sumin crouched in front of the bushes, cautiously observing the movements of the crowd outside.

Jiang Yutang comforted her family in a low voice from behind. Jiang Shengan looked somber and held Yun Shi's hand tightly, seemingly lost in thought.

In contrast, Cheng Daier and Lin Shi appeared much calmer, with no sign of panic on their faces.

Jiang Yutang thought to himself: No wonder they are from the General's Mansion. They have seen the world and are not flustered in the face of trouble.

It was unclear how long the fighting outside had lasted, but the noise gradually subsided, as if everything was coming to an end.

Just then, Jiang Sumin suddenly spoke up: "They're back."

The group peeked out and saw Jiang Songzhi and Jiang Jiuzhe walking towards them. They breathed a sigh of relief and helped each other out of the bushes.

"Big brother! Second brother!"

When the two returned and saw them, their faces relaxed. They stepped forward and said, "We didn't see you earlier, which gave us quite a fright. Are you alright?"

Jiang Jiuzhe didn't say much, but walked straight to Zhu Shi's side, put his hand on her shoulder, and looked at her with concern.

Jiang Yutang quickly asked, "Big brother, how's the situation over there?"

"It was the Black Hawk Gang who took advantage of the chaos to infiltrate the refugees and stir up trouble, deliberately provoking a riot in an attempt to wipe out both our families. Fortunately, Cheng Lanzhou and Jiang Huaiyu were vigilant and discovered their plan in time."

Changing the subject, Jiang Songzhi frowned and said in a deep voice, "It's just a pity..."

"What's a pity?" Jiang Yutang quickly asked.

Jiang Songzhi shook his head: "It's a pity that no one was left alive, otherwise we could have interrogated the person behind it and found out more details."

“It seems…” Jiang Yutang scratched his head, then turned to the side and pointed to the woman behind him who was tied up and still unconscious.

"It seems we have only one survivor here."

Jiang Songzhi looked at the woman foaming at the mouth, his heart skipped a beat, and after exchanging a glance with Jiang Jiuzhe, they both showed expressions of relief.

"Hey, thank goodness you're all alright. It's a pleasant surprise to have caught one who slipped through the net."

Jiang Yutang was overjoyed and ran towards the crowd: "I'll go tell them about this!"

"What!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huaiyu immediately perked up, gave Jiang Yutang a high five, and laughed, "Great job, little sister! Well done!"

Cheng Lanzhou raised his eyelids, his gaze falling on Jiang Huaiyu, his tone flat but accusatory: "It's because you went too far that not a single person was left alive."

"Stop standing here talking, go back quickly, wake him up and interrogate him properly, maybe you can get some useful information out of him!" Jiang Huaiyu pretended not to hear, whistling as he walked back.

The moment the bound woman opened her eyes, she found herself lying in the woods, completely gagged and unable to speak. She quickly glanced around and saw several people sitting not far away, staring at her menacingly. She trembled uncontrollably.

Cheng Lanzhou's eyes were cold, and he got straight to the point, his tone completely flat.

“We’ve found the poison you’ve hidden and the weapons you’re carrying. There’s no way you can escape or commit suicide. Confess honestly and tell the truth, and I might spare your life.”

The woman glared at him fiercely, showing no intention of saying a word.

Cheng Lanzhou gestured to Jiang Huaiyu with his chin, indicating that he should remove the gag from the woman's mouth.

As soon as the strip of cloth was torn off, the woman took two deep breaths, then looked at them and laughed wildly twice, her tone resolute: "I've fallen into your hands, I admit it's my bad luck, I have nothing to say. Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you."

Jiang Yutang stood aside watching the battle, crossed her arms and leaned against a tree, nodding with a pout: That's right, that's how the villains on TV are portrayed.

Cheng Lanzhou sneered, crossed his arms, leaned forward slightly, and gave a chilling look: "Are you really sure?"

Seeing that the woman still didn't react, he raised his eyes and gestured for Jiang Huaiyu to teach her a lesson.

"Me?" Jiang Huaiyu pointed to herself and sighed, muttering, "Why am I always the one who does the dirty and tiring work?"

He rolled up his sleeves helplessly, then added, "I never hit women."

Unexpectedly, Cheng Daier suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice, "Let me do it."

Jiang Huaiyu looked at Cheng Daier in surprise, watching her walk towards him arrogantly. He silently stepped aside to make way for her and handed her the leather whip he had found.

Cheng Daier proudly raised her head, snorted, and took the whip. Then everyone stared in disbelief as she stepped forward and cleanly and efficiently beat the woman. Her blows were swift and precise, without the slightest hesitation.

"Smack—"

After the first two lashes, the woman was able to endure it without making a sound, but when the third lash came, she gradually couldn't help but start howling, yet she hesitated to beg for mercy.

Jiang Yutang watched the whip fly back and forth, and rubbed his arms in fright. He quietly leaned close to Jiang Huaiyu and whispered, "I didn't expect Miss Cheng to be so powerful. Third Brother, you must not provoke her in the future."

Receiving no response, she casually glanced around and saw Jiang Huaiyu looking intently at Cheng Daier, her eyes revealing a hint of admiration.

"Um?"

Jiang Yutang stretched his neck in disbelief, like a turtle poking its head out, his eyes scanning back and forth between the two of them, his heart screaming: Jiang Huaiyu, so this is what you like!

Her gaze gradually became subtle, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up. In her mind, she had already written a love story about a relationship between an older woman and a younger man.

Perhaps it was because her gaze was too intense that Jiang Huaiyu finally reacted and exclaimed, "Ah!" "What did you just say?"

Jiang Yutang quickly made a "stop" gesture, saying that these matters of love and romance could be discussed privately later.

She pointed to Cheng Daier, who was still interrogating her, and said half-jokingly, "Let's look at your goddess first."

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Huaiyu was completely confused and scratched his head, not understanding what was going on.

Cheng Lanzhou suddenly called a halt. He stood up and walked forward, a barely perceptible murderous aura emanating from him, looking down at the woman who had been beaten and was now paralyzed on the ground.

"Still refusing to confess?"

The woman spat fiercely, her eyes defiant: "We Black Hawk Gang members have never been afraid of anyone!"

"Still being stubborn!" Cheng Daier wanted to make another move, but Cheng Lanzhou stopped her by raising his hand.

With his back to the crowd, he said in a deep voice, "You all go back first. I will interrogate this woman."
