A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Chapter 750: Being plotted against



Chapter 750: Being plotted against

Gui'er had never expected that he would dare to touch her like this in public, and was about to get angry.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough." A man coughed behind me.

Ah Cheng came out and said to Gui Er, "Miss, the kitchen said the meal is ready. Would you like to eat here or in your room?"

When Gui'er knew that Ah Cheng was here to give her a way out, she said, "I'll go back to my room to eat, Mr. Zhang. I'll go eat first. You can help yourself." Then she left without looking back.

A few days later, Gui'er returned home from school as usual. She walked up the stairs with a heavy heart, still thinking about the fallen comrade, and her steps felt heavy.

Just as she was about to reach the third floor, she suddenly smelled a strange fragrance. Before she could react, a figure flashed from the side and covered her mouth and nose. Gui'er struggled and wanted to call for help, but she felt her consciousness gradually blurred, and the scene in front of her became blurry. Finally, her vision went black and she lost consciousness.

It turned out that Mr. Zhang had always had evil intentions towards Gui'er. This time, he took advantage of the opportunity when Gui'er went upstairs alone, hid in the dark with the knockout drug he had prepared in advance, ran out when she was not paying attention, knocked her unconscious, and then took her to the fourth floor.

After paying the rickshaw fare, Acheng returned to the third floor and was surprised not to see Guier.

Jin Bao asked, "Why are you alone? Didn't you pick up the lady?"

Ah Cheng said, "I clearly came up." He turned around and walked out the door again. When he reached the staircase leading from the 3rd floor to the 4th floor, he found Gui'er's handkerchief on the ground. He thought to himself that something was wrong. He went up the stairs and heard some movement coming from the th floor. Ah Cheng rushed up and kicked open the half-closed door on the th floor.

I saw Gui'er lying unconscious on the sofa in the lobby on the 4th floor. Mr. Zhang was about to do something bad to the unconscious Gui'er and was reaching out to take off her clothes. Unfortunately, the buttons of the cheongsam were very tight and difficult to open, so he could only open the two buttons at the collar.

Ah Cheng's eyes were wide open and he shouted, "You beast!" Mr. Zhang was frightened by this sudden change. Before he could react, Ah Cheng pounced on him like a tiger, kicking, punching and throwing things at Mr. Zhang without thinking. Mr. Zhang was tall and strong, and he wanted to resist at first, but Ah Cheng was a martial artist, and Mr. Zhang had no power to resist at all.

At this time, his wife and concubines came out, screaming and saying, "Stop! What are you doing here? You're killing people!"

The servants and maids on the 4th floor also came out. The maids didn't dare to step forward, but the servants tried to pull Acheng. After all, Acheng was alone, and seeing that the other side had so many people, he didn't dare to fight, so he quickly picked up Guier and ran out of the door.

He returned to the third floor, took Gui'er to her room, and put her down. Gui'er was pale, with her eyes tightly closed. Jinbao was also terrified. He shouted Gui'er's name loudly while pinching her philtrum.

After a long while, Gui'er slowly opened her eyes and regained consciousness. She saw a group of people gathered around her bed. Jinbao, Ah Cheng, and Dingxiang were all extremely anxious. They said weakly, "Brother Ah Cheng..."

Ah Cheng was relieved to see Gui'er wake up. He said angrily, "Miss, don't be afraid. I'm here. I'll go and tie that guy up right away." Then, Ah Cheng quickly went upstairs and heard another burst of screaming and noise coming from upstairs. Jin Bao thought something was wrong and quickly called Sha Yanyao to inform him.

Gui'er felt her head was heavy and she couldn't fall asleep. She tried to wake up, but she felt dizzy. Dingxiang sat next to her, not daring to leave. She started crying and murmured, "Miss, please don't be in trouble. Otherwise, how can I explain this to the young marshal?"

When Sha Yanyao learned about this, he was furious and came with his men. At that time, Mr. Zhang had lost his former dignity and was beaten black and blue by Acheng. His servants and wife in the house were also slapped by Acheng for trying to help.

At first, they claimed it was a misunderstanding, then claimed they knew someone at the police station. Now, seeing Sha Yanyao arrive with a group of men wearing black Mao suits and carrying pistols, they immediately understood his connections and remained silent. Mr. Zhang's two concubines even slipped into their rooms and hid.

When Mr. Zhang was brought before the eldest young master, he was trembling with fear and begging for mercy. The eldest young master's face was terribly gloomy, and he shouted, "How dare you attack my sister? You are so bold!" Then he ordered his men to take Mr. Zhang away and punish him severely. Then he went to see Gui'er, seeing that he was still a little unconscious, and rushed her to the hospital.

Ah Cheng knew that this matter could be a big deal or a small one, so he sneaked out and called Sha Yanxiao to report the matter.

Sha Yanxiao was furious when he heard this, and dropped everything to rush to Nanjing.

He arrived at the Sha Mansion, his face livid as he questioned his wife, "Mother, how could Gui'er be kicked out? She was the most promising daughter in the Marshal's family, as Father said. Now that something like this has happened, where is the reputation of the Marshal's family?"

The lady was frightened by Sha Yanxiao's aura. Under normal circumstances, she would have acted like the wife of a marshal, but at this time she said guiltily: "It was your sister-in-law who instigated it. The two times we were implicated by the revolutionaries started with her. She said that she would implicate our family. I was confused for a moment, so...why not let her move back quickly? It's safer at home." No one knew whether what she said was true or not, but at this time she just wanted to push the responsibility away.

Sha Yanxiao snorted coldly, not bothering to look at his wife's hypocritical face, and hurried to the hospital.

When he arrived at the hospital, he looked at the frail Gui'er and said distressedly, "Guier, your family didn't take good care of you this time. I just asked the doctor, and he says you're not seriously injured. You'll be fine once the medicine wears off. Mother also asked you to move back to the Sha Mansion. It's up to you if you want to. If you don't want to, I can rent you an apartment outside. I've already provided you with a cook, servants, and so on. You must be very tired now. You should rest first and talk to us when you're sober."

Gui'er finally felt relieved when she looked at Sha Yanxiao's face, but on the other hand, she was a little worried that there would be trouble in Jiangcheng because of Sha Yanxiao's absence. However, she didn't have the ability to care about so many things now. She could only close her eyes, lie quietly, and wait for the effect of the medicine to wear off.

The next day, Gui'er didn't go to school, and no one in the mansion asked for leave for her. Miss Shen felt something was amiss and came to visit under the guise of a home visit. Sha Yanyao had gone to work, and Sha Yanxiao was in the hospital with Gui'er. Madam Tian avoided seeing them. Miss Tian sent the housekeeper to tell Miss Shen, "Gui'er is ill and in the hospital. We're busy at home, so it's inconvenient for us to meet. Please go back."
