Chapter 1784: Chapter 1781: Tenderness
Chu Heng paused for a mont but still nodded in acknowledgnt; compared to anything else, he was more unwilling to deceive Ah Yu.
Ye Muyu understood. This was why after learning the news, Chu Heng didn’t go to them directly.
Actually, while in the temple, Ye Muyu was not only worried about Chu Bo being sched against, but also feared that their group might get entangled in sothing more complicated; she always felt those two were not ordinary kidnappers.
There might be hidden elents behind this, definitely not sothing she intended to get involved with.
She was worried that Chu Heng, being in the Court of Judicial Review, would rush over upon hearing the news, and at the sa ti worried he wouldn’t co.
This uncertainty was causing this; fortunately, her plan was smooth, allowing her to easily slip away.
“Third Brother… it’s just right that you’re here, would you like to have dinner at our residence tonight?” Madam Wang interrupted the two’s conversation, feeling a little guilty, yet she had to speak, after all, she needed to instruct the servants to prepare dinner.
Chu Heng placed his hand on Ye Muyu’s waist in response and nodded gently, asking with concern, “Is Abo alright?”
“He’s fine, the wound isn’t deep, it didn’t reach the bone. The doctor said a month of recovery should suffice, although there will be a scar. Luckily, he’s a man, so it’s not really a big deal.” Madam Wang felt relieved and, after saying a couple of words, left the two alone and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
The surrounding maidservants automatically retreated to a certain distance before Ye Muyu talked to Chu Heng about the day’s events, like casual conversation, without too obvious emotions: “As for whether my suspicions are true, we’ll have to see what the yan’s follow-up investigation reveals.”
“The matter you spoke of…” Chu Heng clearly took it to heart, and after pondering for a while, he said, “I will find an opportunity to arrange for soone to investigate it.”
Everyone knows there are a few caves in the ravine behind the Buddhist Light Temple, but they’ve been checked early on; they’re just so shallow caves with nothing special.
However, now soone has managed to leave through the ravine caves from behind the Buddhist Light Temple, which can only an there must be a route that allows one to leave.
This isn’t a big deal, but it’s not a small one either.
“By the way, I think those two people actually know martial arts; their hands are calloused, clearly seasoned. They couldn’t be ordinary kidnappers without a reputation, and the knives they used likely aren’t ordinary either.”
“Oh, by the way, I feel like the people at the Buddhist Light Temple must know sothing; after all, this happened in their own backyard.” Ye Muyu felt like she was tattling, feeling a bit peculiar for a mont.
Chu Heng listened to her words without missing a single one and nodded, “I understand.”
Ye Muyu couldn’t help but lean against his chest, “You’ve worked hard.”
“Not at all.” Chu Heng stroked her long hair. After all, they were outside, so such intimate gestures should not be too conspicuous.
Just then, Chu Cai returned.
Recently, Chu Cai had been busy working on the new-style weaving machine, and anyone with a bit of wealth in the capital was willing to buy one.
Although other wood workshops started selling them too, initially what ca out of Yonghe bore a mark, akin to brand effect.
Chu Cai simply couldn’t keep up, working late into the evening each day and even eating at the Wood Workshop.
Today, soone went to notify him to co back.
Chu Cai rushed back, his forehead covered in sweat. Seeing Chu Heng, he hurriedly greeted him, “Third Brother, you go rest in the living room first; I’ll go check on Abo.”
