The Zhou Family members were the ones who got scared. The eldest Zhou’s voice trembled as he tried to put on a fierce face, shouting at Ye Ge, “You’re coming in, huh? Be careful, my fists don’t have eyes!”
Second Zhou also backed off a step, completely intimidated by Ye Ge’s aura.
But Lady Wang, wielding her hoe, charged forward, driven by her contempt for Ye Ge, seeing this as an opportunity she shouldn’t miss.
Unexpectedly, before her hoe could reach Ye Ge, he had already grabbed the handle. With a single swing of the hoe, all three of them involuntarily fell to the ground.
They hadn’t even seen how Ye Ge made his move!
Several people lying on the ground, too frightened to move.
The noise woke Zhou Dongdong from his sleep. He got up to see his parents and uncle lying on the ground along with Ye Ge, still holding the hoe.
“Hey! Why did you hit them?” Zhou Dongdong rushed out and put himself between Ye Ge and his parents.
Ye Ge ignored Zhou Dongdong and walked over to the large water tank in the courtyard. He lifted the hoe, used barely any force, and the large tank was split in half.
It was filled with water which now gushed out, covering the entire courtyard floor. It was rather terrifying.
Pointing at the tank broken in two, Ye Ge’s voice remained forceful, “If you bully Nan Feng again, this will be your fate!”
The ones on the ground trembled, boiling with anger but without the courage to speak out against him.
They dared not move until Ye Ge had left the courtyard.
Zhou Dongdong just stared at Ye Ge’s retreating figure, too horrified to speak.
…
The next day, Nan Feng didn’t get up until the sun had risen.
The first thing she did upon waking was to head up the mountain.
Logically, she should have been frightened after the ordeal of the previous night, but she wasn’t scared at all.
Her alarm last night had been due to her overanxiety, thinking Ye Ge had been seriously injured by a tiger. Unfortunately, her vigilance hadn’t been high, but now she intended to return to the scene of the incident and investigate again.
Following the memories of last night, she quickly arrived at the spot where the hunting net was hung.
The area was surrounded by tall shrubs, with moss growing in the middle on level ground.
There were clear signs of the moss having been disturbed. Moreover, there were footprints of more than two people, indicating that at least three people had been there the previous day.
Several shrubs were mashed down, Nan Feng figured, these weren’t intentionally ruined, there must have been a scuffle here.
****** lay in disarray amongst the vegetation, with few strands of her hair, showing she had struggled vigorously at the time. But the moss beneath ****** wasn’t severely damaged, indicating the person who stunned her must have been gentle.
Moreover, his strength couldn’t have been too great.
So it definitely wasn’t Ye Ge!
Nan Feng clutched at her collar tightly.
Her clothes weren’t undone by Ye Ge, but by someone else.
She was no naive girl, she knew that her body hadn’t been ultimately violated. Yet, what did the person who undressed her do to her? What did he see?
Ye Ge must know!
So… Ye Ge didn’t want her to feel humiliated, that’s why he claimed that he untied her clothes and even proposed to her!
At this thought, Nan Feng suddenly collapsed and sat on the ground, feeling faint.
Nan Feng wasn’t old-fashioned, even if she had been violated, she wouldn’t marry someone she didn’t like.
But, given these circumstances, if Ye Ge wanted to marry her, was he sympathising with her?
Of course, Nan Feng wouldn’t want his sympathy.
