A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Chapter 668: Captured Duanmu Yijia and then released

"Yes, ma'am, Young Master Sha, Young Master Sha II. This is all a misunderstanding. I thought at the time that we were all from the same hometown and could look after each other. Who would have thought that he would be so vicious? He must have been unable to make it in Manchukuo, so he brought his accomplices here to commit crimes." When Duanmu Lei heard Mr. Duanmu say this, he quickly took over the conversation and continued to make up stories, and the more he made them, the smoother it became.

But even Gui'er didn't believe it.

"So that's how it is. Then they have nothing to do with you." Sha Yanxiao turned around and took two steps. Suddenly he pulled out his gun and shot each of the two prisoners in the head.

"Bang, bang." The two prisoners fell to the ground without saying a word. The man in the silk gown had his eyes half open and an incredible expression on his face.

"Ah, ah, ah"

The women in the room screamed in fear, and Mrs. Duanmu fainted on the spot.

Miss Tian and Mrs. Tian turned pale, and even the lady was startled.

Gui'er had always known that Sha Yanxiao was a brave and warlike man, but he was usually very gentle and even forbearing in his dealings with people in the mansion, which had nothing to do with his ruthless methods. She couldn't help but be shocked when he suddenly did such a thing.

Director Tian didn't say anything. He and Sha Yanyao both had calm expressions on their faces, and they watched Sha Yanxiao quietly from the side.

"Since you all say that it has nothing to do with you, then I will believe you this time. However, these people dared to attack my family, so they have no choice but to be executed on the spot. I think you all have no objection to me doing this?" Sha Yanxiao blew on the muzzle of the gun and said calmly to the people of the Duanmu family.

"Of course. These people deserve to die for daring to murder the Marshal's family!" Master Duanmu said with a smile, but Gui'er clearly saw his hands trembling slightly.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, can we go now?" Duanmu Lei asked impatiently.

"Of course. However, although you said it has nothing to do with you, you are still involved. So all cooperation between our two families will be terminated from now on." Sha Yanxiao said calmly.

"Sha Yanxiao, what are you up to? Don't think that we will appreciate your kindness if you don't kill us. I haven't settled the score with you for killing the eighth concubine yet." Duanmu Heng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.

"Pa." Master Duanmu suddenly walked forward and slapped Duanmu Heng hard, causing him to stagger.

Then Master Duanmu turned around, smiled at everyone and said, "I'm sorry to have made such a fool of myself. Please don't pay attention to my son's nonsense. He and our Eighth Concubine were classmates at the same school and they fell in love with each other, but we didn't agree to their marriage. After all, they were not a good match. Of course, they were absolutely innocent, and our family still has some family education. It's just that the Eighth Concubine died an untimely death. He has never been able to accept it, so he has been a little upset these past few days. I hope Madam and the two young masters will forgive me."

Gui'er suddenly realized that Duanmu Heng and the Eighth Concubine had such a past. No wonder Duanmu Heng was so indignant about the Eighth Concubine's death.

Duanmu Heng wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand, sneered, and said to his parents and brothers: "Do you really think they will let us go? Don't be delusional. I told you long ago that after he killed the Eighth Concubine, we would be next. You just didn't believe it."

"Snapped."

"Shut your stinky mouth, do you want to kill my whole family?" Duanmu Lei stepped forward and slapped him, then grabbed his collar and said harshly.

Duanmu Heng sneered and said nothing more. He suddenly glanced at Gui'er and said sadly, "She was once as bright and brilliant as you. It was this world and this era that ruined her."

"Son, your parents are sorry for you. Let it go. Don't think about this woman anymore, otherwise our lives will be lost here." Mrs. Duanmu, who had woken up at some point, came forward and hugged Duanmu Heng, crying bitterly.

Sha Yanxiao and Sha Yanyao both had cold faces. Having an affair with Duanmu Henghe's eighth concubine was tantamount to cuckolding the Marshal, so they couldn't just watch the show happily.

"Oh, look at my old bones, they are useless. I actually forgot that I should go to Shanghai to meet Mr. Mitsui tomorrow. This was an appointment we made a long time ago." Master Duanmu suddenly slapped his head and said with a smile.

Gui'er was stunned. This old man was bringing in the Japanese to suppress Sha Yanxiao.

"In that case, please do as you please. However, your family will no longer be welcome in Jiangcheng and Fengcheng. If you show up again, you will be killed without mercy. Platoon Leader Zhang, escort these guests to the train station and see them board the train."

"Yes, Young Marshal." Platoon Leader Zhang brought a few soldiers and pushed and dragged the Duanmu family out.

That's it? Gui'er was a little confused. The evidence was so conclusive, why did Sha Yanxiao let the Duanmu family go?

"My dear nephew, what is your plan? Isn't this tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain? Besides, he has said that he is going to meet with the Japanese, but there is no guarantee that he will not say something to the Japanese." Director Tian stepped forward and said to Sha Yanxiao worriedly.

"Thank you Director Tian for your concern. We have already captured these people last night. The water was mixed with a chronic knockout drug. I just don't want them to die in my Jiangcheng and Fengcheng territories, so that the Japanese can find an excuse to deal with me. But after they return to Shanghai and meet with the people they know, I will send someone to take action. Please rest assured." Sha Yanxiao said confidently.

"Yeah, that's fine." Director Tian nodded. "But you have to make sure you get rid of them. Otherwise, you'll be raising a tiger to cause trouble. They've already set their sights on this piece of fat meat in Jiangcheng, and I don't think they'll stop until they achieve their goal."

"Please rest assured, elders. There will be absolutely no problem. We are all frightened. Let's have some refreshments and then continue on our journey." Sha Yanxiao clapped his hands.

The orderly came in with exquisite snacks, including rice cakes, green rice dumplings, double-stir-fried rice dumplings, small sesame cakes, steamed cakes, almond pastries, and shaqi ma.

While eating, Mrs. Tian suddenly smiled and said, "I haven't had such authentic Shanghai dim sum in a long time."

Sha Yanxiao smiled and said, "So that's how it is. These are all made by the cook in the military camp. He fled here from Shanghai. If Mrs. Tian likes them, I'll ask them to pack some for you to eat on the train."

Mr. Tian quickly said, "That's too much trouble. It's not necessary." Then he said to Mrs. Tian in a blaming manner, "You are the one who has so many things to do every day. Now we have to hurry back to Nanjing to be safe."

Sha Yanxiao smiled and said, "It's okay. It's not a big deal anyway." So he asked the cook to pack some food for Mrs. Tian's personal maid to take to the car.
