Chapter 259: There Are Not That Many Coincidence In This World

“Those people are very skilled and don’t seem to be ordinary kidnappers. Moreover, after I beat those people until they couldn’t fight back, I found a money bag on the leader’s body. There were two pieces ten taels of silver in it. Other than that, there were only a dozen copper coins. The others did not have any money on them.”
“This subordinate deliberately took the silver in his hand. Then, he heard a kidnapper moaning beside him say that they barely touched the silver yet… This subordinate feels that there must be someone else behind this. In fact, the attack on the Young Master might have been intentional.”
“Other than that, I feel that there are kidnappers wandering outside.” Lu Chuan told Chu Heng his guess.
Chu Heng recalled that the thieves in the village seemed to be targeting his own family.
After the incident, he even asked the villagers to draw a portrait of him. However, no matter how much money he spent, he could not find him. It was as if the thief had disappeared in an instant.
Of course, this was not surprising. After all, it was very likely that he was hiding in the mountains.
H had entered the officialdom in his previous life and offended many people, so he would not have found it strange.
Now, he had not offended anyone in his previous life or this life.
Could it be a coincidence?
No, it should not be a coincidence.
Unlike Ye Muyu, Chu Heng never believed in coincidences. Everything happened for a reason, but he was still young and could not find out the reason.
The only one who seemed to be involved with him was the Tang family…
“Last time you went to ask around the Li family’s woman at the village entrance. Do you think that it could be related to today’s matter?” Chu Heng asked.
Lu Chuan said. “I went to ask about it last time. I heard that it was someone from her family. They wanted to know about Miss Ziluo’s situation. Her nephew wanted to propose a marriage to Miss Ziluo.”
“I went to ask the Tang family too. Mrs. Tang scolded Tang Rou every day, but Tang Xueren did not care. There were two other sons, but the younger one doesn’t know anything, and the older one hides money and lives freely in the county.”
“Master, why don’t I go find Tang Rou?” Lu Chuan was not stupid. He could sense that Chu Heng was suspecting Tang Rou. The previous investigation did not have anything to do with Tang Rou. It was all the wishful thinking of the women in the village who wanted to get close to the Chu family.
Thus, he did not take it to heart.
However, it was different now. Chu Jin had almost been kidnapped.
Looking at Chu Heng’s expression, he knew that he would not let this matter rest.
“Go and check. She should still be in the county.” Chu Heng nodded. He gave Lu Chuan a tael of silver and said, “Get someone to keep an eye on the county government. Those kidnappers might be the breakthrough point.” “Yes, Master.” Lu Chuan took the silver and left.
Ye Muyu had just walked over and saw Chu Heng giving Lu Chuan the silver. She walked to his side and asked with concern, “Did you ask Lu Chuan to go out and buy something?”.
“No.” Chu Heng turned around and grabbed Ye Muyu’s hand.
Ye Muyu was slightly stunned. She was not used to it and instinctively pulled her hand back. Chu Heng’s eyes darkened, but this time, he did not let Ye Muyu pull her hand back.
He felt the softness in his palm. This warmth felt like it was beating his heart, and the heat spread throughout his body.
Chu Heng had a certain thought in his heart, and he did not want to let go, even if she did not like him now.
Either way, as long as he liked her, he would become the man she liked. Chu Heng lowered his head and hooked his fingers around Ye Muyu’s palm. He saw that she had retracted her hand, but his big hand did not retreat. Instead, he shackled her wrist, not hurting her, but not allowing her to escape. Ye Muyu curled her fingers several times, but she could not avoid the man’s childish actions..
