Chapter 709: 709 Chapter 709: 709 When Su Yunjin first saw someone coming to smash the wine, she was terrified, her heart sinking to the very bottom. The image of her fruit wine being smashed the last time immediately flashed before her eyes.
Pieces of glass and fruit wine were scattered all over the ground.
Fearing that her wine would be smashed again, and that she would have to pay double compensation, Su Yunjin was fraught with worry. Unexpectedly, Gu Ya acted swiftly and decisively, shooting the incoming wine-smashers to the ground. Surprised and delighted, the fear that had gripped Yunjin’s heart moments before was suddenly alleviated.
The three men hit by arrows tried to get up and flee, but Gu Ya intercepted them, delivering another kick that left them writhing in agony and howling like banshees.
Gu Ya grabbed one of the men by the collar and slapped him hard, “Confess, were the people who smashed my wife’s fruit wine last time you guys too?”
“No, no, no!” The beaten man hastily shook his head.
Terrified, the man’s voice trembled as he spoke, “It wasn’t me, not me, young master, we only came to smash the wine this time after taking someone else’s money. Last time, it really wasn’t us who smashed the wine.”
The two men beside him quickly nodded in agreement.
“Young master, we’re telling the truth, it was indeed us who smashed your wine last time; we came to do it today only after we got paid by someone else.”
Seeing that none of the men seemed to be lying, Gu Ya kicked one of them, eyes narrowed in anger as he demanded, “Who told you to smash it?”
How could these men recognize Fan Wenxuan?
They were hired goons who took money to blot out calamities for others.
“Young master, to be honest, we don’t even know the person who asked us to smash the fruit wine. We simply took someone else’s money to do their bidding. How would we know who they are?”
Such riffraff only recognized money, not faces.
Whoever had the money was the boss.
After kicking the speaking man once more, Gu Ya knew this man was telling the truth. Meanwhile, the man who had tried to escape had successfully been caught and brought back by a Chu Residence house servant.
“Behave yourself, you’ve got some nerve to cause trouble on Chu Residence turf,” the man peed his pants, emitting a foul odor.
Just brought in, everyone instinctively covered their noses. Su Yunjin, seeing the man’s still-dripping wet trousers, felt a wave of disgust.
She almost threw up her breakfast.
The house servant, holding the man, approached the butler with regret, “We caught one, but another got away. Our Chu Residence’s people are still in pursuit.”
The butler heard that one had escaped.
“Go, find more people from within the residence, we must catch the one who escaped.” Fan Wenxuan had slipped away like a greased eel, fortunately for him, he had fled quickly.
Otherwise, he would have surely been caught by now.
As Su Yunjin covered her nose, she approached Gu Ya, “Husband, how is it? Did you find out anything? Why do these people want to smash our fruit wine?”
Yunjin surveyed the men, not recognizing any of them. Bearing neither feud nor grudge, she truly did not understand the purpose behind their actions to smash her fruit wine.
“Yunjin, these men were all hired with money. The real person who wants to smash our fruit wine is someone else,” said Gu Ya calmly.
That person didn’t dare show their face,
hiring others to smash the fruit wine.
Gu Ya was certain that the one who smashed his and his little wife’s fruit wine was someone they knew.
Otherwise, that person wouldn’t dare to not even show their face.
