Looking at the steaming bowl of green pepper shredded pork noodles on the table, Ji Zhao’s appetite was instantly aroused.
“Smells good!”
“Try it?” Shen Yao immediately handed her the chopsticks.
Ji Zhao immediately started eating heartily. Soon, she finished the bowl of noodles.
“How does it taste?”
“It looks, smells, and tastes great.” Ji Zhao gave him a thumbs up in admiration.
“It’s good that you like it.” Shen Yao smiled lovingly and rubbed the top of her soft head. “Ah Tao, I seem to have understood the joy of cooking now.”
It turned out that it was actually such an interesting thing to personally make delicacies for the person you loved.
Ji Zhao replied with a sweet smile.
Looking at the dark circles under her eyes, Shen Yao’s heart suddenly ached. “Ah Tao, you haven’t slept well recently, right?”
Ah Tao hasn’t had a good rest since that nightmare.
Although being able to warn of danger was a special ability bestowed by the heavens, everything had two sides. Ah Tao wass warned of danger in advance, so she had been afraid in advance.
Thinking of this, Shen Yao’s heart suddenly twitched uncontrollably.
Meeting his gentle and heartbroken gaze, Ji Zhao suddenly felt a lump in her throat. She blinked aggrievedly, then stretched out her arms and wrapped them tightly around his muscular waist. “Yes… I haven’t been able to sleep recently. Even if I manage to fall asleep sometimes, I’ll always dream of that raging fire.”
“My Ah Tao, you must be very tired.” Shen Yao kissed the tip of her hair with heartache and comforted her gently. “Ah Tao, close your eyes obediently and sleep well now, okay?”
“Okay .
Ji Zhao found a comfortable position in his arms and listened to his steady and strong heartbeat. Gradually, she became sleepy.
A moment later, Shen Yao carefully placed the person in his arms on the bed.
Then, he pulled a thin blanket over her and left quietly, closing the door gently.
Before Shen Yao left, he specially instructed Second Manager You not to let anyone disturb Ah Tao’s good dreams.
Then, he rushed towards the Qin family.
A few days ago, Qin Minghong had released the news that he was sick and was recuperating in his residence.
However, the truth was that Qin Minghong had already secretly returned to the prefecture capital.
After receiving the news, Qin Yong immediately personally welcomed Shen Yao into the residence.
Qin Yong was not only the head of the Qin family’s guards, but he was also one of Qin Minghong’s trusted aides.
If Ji Zhao had not begged Qin Minghong to lend him a team of guards, Qin Yong would have followed Qin Minghong back to the prefecture capital.
Shen Yao, who came to the Qin family, was not empty-handed. He had prepared a lot of medicinal herbs and handed them to Qin Yong.
“Third Young Master Shen, what are you doing?”
“Last night, I saw a few little brothers seriously injured,” Shen Yao said with some self-reproach. “Although these medicinal herbs are not expensive tonics, they can nourish blood and energy. Take it as a small token of my appreciation.
After all, if it weren’t for our family, you wouldn’t have been injured.”
“Third Young Master, you’re being too serious!” Qin Yong hurriedly bowed and said, “Before Young Master left, he specially instructed me to protect the Shen family well. It’s just that we’re really not skilled enough. If it wasn’t for Third Young Master last night, I’m afraid we would have been beheaded.”
“However, it’s really surprising that Third Young Master knows martial arts.” Qin Yong subconsciously scratched his head and smiled foolishly. “Third Young Master’s temperament is refined and elegant. You don’t look like a martial artist. Moreover, last night, Third Young Master’s moves were very fierce. Every move could be said to be fatal!”
“I once had a master when I was young,” Shen Yao explained with a smile. Then, he changed the topic without batting an eyelid. “By the way, did those people reveal any useful information?’
“Those ten people are all a tough nut to crack, tough cookies. They’re not easy to chew.” Qin Yong shrugged helplessly and said, “Until now, we haven’t gotten any useful information. Now, they’re all locked in the dark room of the woodshed. Third Young Master, do you want to go and see them?’
“Alright.” Shen Yao pondered for a moment and nodded slightly. “May I trouble Brother Qin Yong to lead the way?”
Qin Yong hurriedly nodded. Then, he smiled foolishly and said, “By the way, Third Young Master, just call me Qin Yong in the future.”
“Okay.” Shen Yao smiled and agreed softly.
Qin Minghong’s residence was very low-key and luxurious. After going around a wall carved with lifelike lotus flowers, he turned left and entered the semi-circular arch. After walking for a full 15 minutes, he arrived at the woodshed in the residence.
Qin Yong immediately took out a dagger from his waist and opened the lock hanging outside the woodshed.
The furnishings in the woodshed were extremely simple. Other than the west wall, there was a tall firewood in front of the other three walls.
Qin Yong walked to the west wall and slowly squatted down. After choosing a spot, he knocked twice.
Rumble—
A heavy and dull sound suddenly sounded. The wall in front of him slowly moved back a full ten feet, revealing a pitch-black hole.
Qin Yong took out a lighter and lit it before walking in front.
“Third young master, please follow me.”
After walking down the stairs for about 15 minutes, Qin Yong finally stopped.
He immediately turned to look at Shen Yao and said softly, ‘Third Young
Master, we’re here.”
Shen Yao frowned in discomfort, a cold glint in the depths of his eyes.
The air was filled with the strong smell of blood. That smell was nauseating.
“We’ve already tortured these people,” Qin Yong, who was frowning, said in a low voice. “It’s just that these people are too stubborn, so our brothers haven’t been able to dig out any useful information.”
“Bring someone to the torture rack” Shen Yao lowered his eyes and said calmly, “I’ll interrogate him myself.”
“Alright.” Qin Yong immediately nodded.
As Qin Yong clapped his hands, one of the arsonists was escorted to the torture rack.
Shen Yao’s gaze did not land on the back of the torture rack. Instead, he saw the various sharp weapons stained with blood.
He casually picked up a dagger and slowly approached the person on the torture rack. With lightning speed, he stabbed it into that person’s collarbone!
The criminal, who was already on the verge of death, let out a miserable scream!
Shen Yao ignored him. Instead, he casually held the dagger in his hand and turned it in the criminal’s flesh.
The criminal was sweating profusely from the pain and kept twitching!
In the end, he fainted.
Only then did Shen Yao let go and turn around. ‘Get someone to prepare a basin of salt water.”
The salt water splashed onto the criminal’s wound. The sound of flesh being torn apart made one’s scalp tingle.
“Are you willing to confess now?” Shen Yao suddenly pulled out the dagger that was inserted into the criminal’s shoulder blade and sighed softly..
