Gan Qian had never experienced being so close to an unfamiliar man, but Lu Fei was so natural when he held her hand that she couldn't feel any ill will towards him. Lu Fei placed a bowl of soy milk in front of Gan Qian and said, "Soy milk is best when it's hot."
Gan Qian hurriedly said, "No need to trouble young master."
Lu Fei looked at her and said, "You don't have to be so courteous with me. Saving you was just a small matter. You don't have to take it to heart, understand?"
Gan Qian said, "Young master saving my life is a great kindness. I will engrave it in my heart and don't dare to forget it for a moment. How can I not take it to heart?"
Lu Fei said, "I just don't want you to feel so much pressure. Just treat me as a friend. If there's anything I didn't do well, feel free to tell me. Don't feel wronged."
Gan Qian smiled and said, "How can that be? Young master Lu treats me very well. How can I feel wronged?"
Lu Fei said, "That's good. Don't feel like you owe me anything. This will make me feel very embarrassed." After saying that, he couldn't help but smile. Gan Qian suddenly felt relieved. She felt that the distance between her and Lu Fei seemed to have shortened a little. She could also tell Lu Fei a lot of things in her heart. During this time, Lu Fei would joke around and Gan Qian could gradually accept it.
After the two of them finished eating, Lu Fei asked, "How many betrothal gifts did the Provincial Governor give to your family?"
Gan Qian's expression changed and said, "Oh no, what if the Provincial Governor wants to take back the betrothal gifts? My mother spent some money to repay the debt … The Provincial Governor gave a lot of betrothal gifts, including a residence in the city."
Lu Fei frowned and said, "If we leave now, the Provincial Governor will definitely not take back the betrothal gifts openly. That would be a disgrace to him. He will probably send someone to make a move in secret."
Gan Qian's expression immediately became flustered and said, "Then let's leave quickly."
Lu Fei immediately stood up and said, "Let's go."
After the two of them left the city, Lu Fei immediately picked up Gan Qian and dashed in the direction she had pointed out. Gan Qian could only feel the wind whistling past her ears as the scenery flew past her rapidly. It was unknown how many times faster than the carriage. When the two of them arrived at Gan Qian's village, it was only noon. Lu Fei stood far away on the hilltop and looked at the village. He saw a house surrounded by many people. Gan Qian's expression changed, "That is my house."
When Lu Fei saw that there were no soldiers among them, he immediately rushed down with Gan Qian, rushing all the way to the village. At this time, most of the villagers had run to Gan Qian's house to see what was going on, so there were not many people on the road. Lu Fei rushed to Gan Qian's house like a gust of wind and saw people coming and going all around. When someone saw Gan Qian, he called out, "You've come, alas …" That person said and shook his head.
When Gan Qian saw that person's expression, she immediately pushed through the crowd and rushed into the room. She saw a person lying on the bed covered with a white cloth. Gan Qian's heart trembled. She slowly walked forward and removed the white cloth, revealing her mother's pale face.
Gan Qian immediately sat on the ground, tears unconsciously gushing out of her eyes. She felt that the world was spinning and she fainted on the ground.
Lu Fei hurriedly reached out and pressed his hand on her back, transmitting a stream of zhenqi. Many people behind him discussed, "Could this person be the flower thief who kidnapped Xiaoqian?" "Looking at his appearance, he doesn't seem like a flower thief." "That's not right. Many flower thieves are handsome and confident."
At this time, Gan Qian slowly woke up. She threw herself on her mother's body and burst into tears. Lu Fei's hand kept pressing on her back, constantly helping her vent her anger. The people behind him said, "Looking at their intimate appearance, there's no doubt that they are flower thieves." "I'll report this to the authorities."
Lu Fei stood up and said, "No one is allowed to leave." After he said this, he saw a young man still ignoring him and running out. Lu Fei immediately rushed over, knocking the people in front of the house off their feet. He reached out and grabbed the young man in his hand, then threw him to the ground and said, "I want to know what happened here."
Many people looked at Lu Fei with fear, but there were also some people who glared at him. Lu Fei slowly walked toward a person whose face was full of hatred. That person couldn't help but take a step back. He said in a threatening manner, "Others may be afraid of you, but I'm not."
Lu Fei stopped in front of him and said, "Tell me what happened here."
At this time, footsteps sounded outside the crowd. Someone was running away again. Lu Fei didn't even turn his head. He pointed his finger from afar, and that person suddenly fell to the ground with a plop. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive. When the others saw this, they didn't dare to make a sound. Lu Fei looked at the person in front of him with a smile and said, "Are you mute?" As he spoke, he grabbed that person's neck and slowly lifted him up. He said, "If you don't speak, I'll make you mute forever."
Someone immediately said, "Someone came to steal Aunt Wang's betrothal gift."
Lu Fei threw that person to the ground and said, "Who is it?"
That person said, "I … I don't know. This happened last night. We heard shouts. When we came over, Aunt Wang was already on the ground. She … she was about to die. But she said a person's name."
Lu Fei asked, "Who?"
Not far away, an old man said, "Don't say it. Do you want to kill everyone?"
That old man heard and sighed. Lu Fei said, "Just Li Scoundrel alone? Can he move everything here by himself? "
That person said, "He often hangs out with Brother Hei who is active nearby."
Lu Fei said, "Who is Brother Hei?"
That person said, "Brother Hei is a well-known bully within a hundred miles. He specializes in doing bad things. His whereabouts are unknown. No one knows where he lives."
Lu Fei turned and walked to Gan Qian's side. He said, "We've found the murderer."
Gan Qian who was crying immediately raised her head and said, "Who is it?"
Lu Fei said, "Li Scoundrel from the village."
Gan Qian said, "I'll go find him now." She was about to get up when Lu Fei said, "Send someone to prepare for your mother's funeral. Li Scoundrel has already run away. We'll think of a way to lure him out."
Gan Qian nodded. She took out some expensive jewelry and handed it to the others. She said, "I'll have to trouble everyone to help me prepare for my mother's funeral. The murderer, I'll definitely bring him to justice."
Everyone had seen Lu Fei's powerful martial arts. They all thought that since she had hooked up with someone with such powerful martial arts, it should be possible for her to take revenge. Therefore, they did not stop her. However, there were still people who went to report to the authorities. Lu Fei and Gan Qian had long been hiding in a mountain outside the mountain. They observed the movements in the village. They saw that the group of soldiers were directly stationed near the village. It seemed that they wanted to wait for the hare to come.
