Chapter 3477: 4.1077 Caught Red-Handed

Thinking of the malicious intentions of the Zhou family, an inexplicable surge of anger rose in Qiao Mu's heart.

"Take them away!" Mo Lian couldn't be bothered with them anymore. He simply waved his hand, ordering the Purple Forest Guards to seize the entire group.

Hui Feng chuckled as he lifted Zhou Yuan, shaking his body and affectionately patting Zhou Yuan's head. "Young Master Zhou, I advise you to obediently lead the way. Don't play any tricks, or you might just lose your dog's life."

Zhou Yuan shivered uncontrollably with fright. He quickly said, "I... I know, I know. I... I won't... won't play tricks... tricks, no."

He was so terrified that he nearly lost his soul. How could he dare to play any tricks now?

Furthermore, his family's true purpose for coming here had been completely exposed. Even if he stubbornly refused to admit it now, it would be useless.

Others had already seen right through them!

The group marched majestically to the Zhou family's doorstep, naturally attracting many curious onlookers along the way.

Those who were curious followed along, making the procession grow even larger.

As Mo Lian and the others arrived at the Zhou family's entrance, they heard a loud crash from inside the house.

The two vermillion-lacquered doors suddenly fell inward.

Everyone looked intently and immediately saw a man with wide, tiger-like eyes, clutching a woman's neck, walking out quickly. His face, full of coarse flesh, was utterly ferocious.

"Don't come any closer," the man said sharply, tightening his grip on the fragile woman slightly. "If you come closer, I'll kill her."

"Sister!" Zhou Yuan exclaimed in alarm.

Zhou Yuan's mother's eyes almost popped out. She cried out repeatedly, "Oh, you ruthless scoundrel, save my daughter! Daughter! Daughter, don't be scared, Mother is here! Ah! Sir, let go of my daughter, let her go!"

As she spoke, she was about to pounce forward, but she saw the man squeeze the woman's neck tighter. "If you come any closer, I'll choke her to death."

Zhou Yuan's mother saw that her daughter's eyes were almost rolling back into her head. She immediately dared not advance, repeatedly waving her hands and begging for mercy. "Sir, Sir, please spare my daughter! Sir, I... I won't come closer, just... just have mercy, have mercy!"

Pu Ruolan couldn't help but frown at the sight.

Her sister-in-law had actually fallen into the hands of that thief.

Her sister-in-law usually had a gentle and compliant nature, always soft and weak in everything she did. Although she didn't have much initiative, she had always been led by Zhou Yuan's mother.

However, her heart was very kind. She was a rare good shoot from the Zhou family's den of bad bamboos.

Previously, when she and her mother, Qiao Wenxiu, were imprisoned in the woodshed by Zhou Yuan and his mother, it was thanks to this sister-in-law that they were often given water and food, preventing the mother and daughter from starving to death.

Now, seeing her sister-in-law fall into the enemy's hands, her heart couldn't help but pound. She quickly turned to look at her poker-faced little cousin.

Qiao Mu frowned, saying coldly, "You can't escape. Release your hostage and kneel before me."

At this moment, the crowds of people coming and going on the street also noticed the black-clothed man at the Zhou family's doorstep, who was gripping the neck of a frail woman.

Upon seeing his attire, everyone couldn't help but be startled.

Although somewhat frightened, while retreating to a safe distance, everyone couldn't help but secretly hide in corners, observing the black-clothed man up and down.

Anyway, with their Crown Prince there, nothing major would surely happen. They would just watch from a distance.

The Crown Prince's die-hard fans thought so in their hearts.
