Chapter 313: Worse than a Beast

"As I approached, someone attempted to stab me, and I had no choice but to retaliate, kicking him to the ground and interrogating him," I explained.

"To my surprise, I found that all the young ladies in the carriage had been kidnapped from the surrounding area and were to be transported to a dock overnight and then shipped elsewhere."

"Moreover, there was another carriage laden with a dozen more victims. A young lady among them had managed to commandeer the carriage and escape, while two of the villains had set off in pursuit."

"Upon hearing this, Master Chu set off immediately, guessing correctly that the escapee would head toward the county town. Indeed, when we reached them, Manager Zhuang had been overtaken by the kidnappers, drugged by a substance smeared on an arrow and injured. Master Chu was able to save him and brought him back here, planning to send him home once he regained consciousness."
