Chapter 1778: Chapter 1775: The Experience

“In the end, I found Miss Guo’s handkerchief near the bushes by the small path. I had picked up that same handkerchief once at the foot of the mountain earlier today and returned it to Miss Guo, so I recognized it as hers. I thought Miss Guo might be nearby and called out a few times, mentioning my own name.”

“Then I saw Miss Guo at the end of the small path.”

“But just as I was about to speak to Miss Guo, she pulled me in and hid.”

“I hadn’t even reacted when I saw two people walk out from the small path.”

“Those two were dressed in coarse cloth, and they were calling out Miss Guo’s name, claiming they’d found something of hers and wanted to return it to her. They shouted not to be afraid, and asked her to come out, claiming they were not bad people.”

“How could I believe them? Especially since those two didn’t look like good people at all. After calling for a while without us coming out, they started talking about splitting silver, saying the brothel needed people.”

“Aren’t they kidnappers!” Chu Bo said angrily, but in his mind, he recalled Third Aunt’s instructions before coming, telling him to describe the two thieves as ordinary people despite the facts.

Chu Bo didn’t know why, but he trusted Third Aunt would never harm him. So he quickly thought of those words he heard the two thieves say, and with a slight change in details, he altered some truths.

“This is simply outrageous, Lord Zhao, you absolutely can’t let those two get away. The Buddhist Light Temple usually has so many ladies and young misses visiting. If kidnappers sneak in, there will be big trouble.”

Lord Zhao furrowed his brows upon hearing this: “Are you sure those two said those exact words?”

“Yes, I definitely heard those words. I was too flustered at the time, but I’m sure those words are not wrong,” Chu Bo said earnestly.

Lord Zhao said, “Go on.”

Chu Bo responded, “After that, I got scared, and moved slightly, which made those two notice us.”

“Then I grabbed Miss Guo and started running.”

“But we got caught up with very quickly.”

“Those two caught Miss Guo and knocked her out. At that moment, Miss Guo was quite frightened; I held her hand and saw she was sweating coldly all over, and was running faster than me.”

“Then I got into a fight with one of the men. I got punched a few times and could only cling to the guy’s leg.”

“I’m quite heavy; the guy couldn’t move me, so we ended up in a tussle.”

“The other man tied up Miss Guo. I didn’t shout because I was afraid of angering them, only asked them to spare Miss Guo.”

“They said for me not to resist and that they would tie me up too. At most, they’d sell me off, but they wouldn’t take my life.”

“I thought it was more important to stay alive, so I cooperated.”

“After they tied Miss Guo and me together, they found some rope to go down the cliff beside the viewing platform. Apparently, the two kidnappers had found a small path to leave the temple without being seen.”

“So they planned to take us away from the cliff’s edge.”

“I had no choice but to cooperate. After finally getting down the cliff wall, we entered an abandoned cave. The two, fearing any delay could cause problems, wanted to take us away.”

“I was lucky and found a sharp stone, gradually wore down the rope, and then tried to push the two thieves away. However, unexpectedly, the thieves found a knife from somewhere and cut me.”
