Thinking of this, Jiang Ming’s speed increased.
The servant girl also found it strange.
Although she did not notice Jiang Ming, she also felt that there seemed to be someone behind her, so she did not dare to look for Chu Wanwan anymore.
She was extremely confused.
How could he be detected by others? Could it be the village chief?
That should not be the case. Had Chu Yuanxi sent someone over? Was he going to disturb Chu Wanwan?
At the thought of this, the servant girl could not help but feel even more anxious.
From the looks of it, Chu Yuanxi was probably going to do something. What would Chu Wanwan do then? She had to save her.
If she was a step late, Chu Wanwan would definitely be tortured.
Her eyes were filled with worry.
However, she also knew that she had to shake off the people behind her. She just did not know who was following her.
Thinking of Jiang Ming, she shook her head again.
It should not be him. He believed her just now.
Jiang Ming noticed that the servant girl’s speed had picked up, so he took his time and deliberately softened his footsteps.
He did not expect that this servant girl would actually notice him. He did not know if she had recognized him.
However, no matter what, he had to let her relax and think that he had left.
As Jiang Ming’s footsteps gradually lightened, the servant girl’s nerves began to relax.
She could feel that the person behind her had given up. This was a good thing for her.
Fortunately, she had worked on her endurance before. Otherwise, she would not have the patience to continue fighting with the person.
After a certain amount of time, Jiang Ming pretended to walk in a certain direction, giving the servant girl the feeling that he had already left.
In fact, he had used a spell to return to his original position.
The servant girl did not suspect anything. She walked briskly into the distance and quickened her pace.
She could not imagine what kind of torture Chu Yuanxi would put Chu Wanwan through. If she was a step late, she might be killed.
However, she could not find Chu Wanwan.
Jiang Ming also realized that the servant girl was looking for someone and could not help but feel strange.
Could it be that she was not looking for Chu Wanwan? Logically speaking, these two people should have agreed to meet. How could they not find her?
Or did Chu Wanwan want to meet someone else? Did this servant girl go because she was worried?
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ming felt that it was possible.
However, he could not figure it out any further and decided to continue observing quietly.
However, when she could not find Chu Wanwan, the servant girl was so anxious that she was about to cry.
She did not want Chu Wanwan to be hurt, but now that things had come to this, she really could not figure it out.
Where could Chu Yuanxi take Chu Wanwan?
At this moment, Chu Yuanxi had already dragged Chu Wanwan to a wall in the outer courtyard.
As long as they went past this wall, they would be able to leave the village.
Chu Wanwan was still looking for an opportunity to escape, but Chu Yuanxi was holding on tightly. She had no chance to break free.
She could not help but look bitter.
She really did not expect that she would suffer such a fate. If she had known this earlier, she would not have come. She also did not know where the servant girl was now.
If she had come earlier, she would not have suffered such torture.
Thinking about it, she could not help but complain about the servant girl, but she could not do anything.
After all, she could only use her intelligence to stall for time.
“Chu Wanwan, let’s eat something after we get out. You must be hungry,” Chu Yuanxi muttered to himself.
“Don’t worry. With me around, I won’t let the people in the villa find you. As for the chief, he might be angry, but I will also protect you. When the time comes, all the punishment will be directed at me.”
At this moment, the village chief was in his master bedroom, leisurely drinking tea.
Although he was holding a teacup in his hand, he was thinking about Jiang Ming. He could not even sit up straight and could only lean on the recliner.
His eyes were filled with raging anger.
Jiang Ming had gone too far. He had never thought that he would be pranked by such a person.
If it was possible, he really wanted Jiang Ming to die painfully.
This daughter of his had also been bewitched by him. She had actually followed Jiang Ming to resist him. He had treated her so well.
The village chief sighed and held the cup tightly.
With a bang, the cup shattered into pieces.
Immediately after, the tea inside flowed all over the ground, and blood flowed out of the village chief’s hand.
The servants at the side could not help but panic. They came over one after another, wanting to treat the village chief’s wounds.
The village chief was worried that he could not find an outlet to vent his anger. Seeing this, he directly raised his hand and shook off one of the servant girls.
The servant girl fell to the ground. She did not dare to make a scene. She immediately stood up and knelt down. Her eyes were filled with panic, and she said, “Chief, please forgive me. It’s all my fault. I won’t dare to do it again.”
The village chief snorted coldly and took a handkerchief from the side to bandage himself. He snapped, “You can’t even do such a tiny thing properly. You’re really clumsy. If you dare to do this again, I’ll definitely teach you a lesson. You might as well leave the village.”
The servant girl became even more anxious.
She had a family and a sick elderly relative at home who relied on her. She really could not lose her current job.
Although the people in the village had bad tempers, they were treated very well.
Thinking of this, she kowtowed even more fiercely.
“Chief, thank you for your magnanimity. I will definitely do my best to repay you.”
With such a fierce kowtow, her forehead had started bleeding.
Seeing this, the chief felt relieved. He waved his hand at the servant girl. “You can go now. Also, call Lord Chu Shangshang over.”
The servant girl quickly nodded and turned to leave.
The village took out the prayer beads that had been sealed for a long time and thought of something.
That illegitimate child was finally of some use. When the time came, he would be put to good use, and everything would be resolved.
Although he did not like him, he had inherited his spells.
In recent years, Chu Shangshang had also become proficient in spells under his guidance. He was even obediently listening to him. It was just right for him to come into play at this time.
At this moment, Chu Shangshang was outside the village, taking a walk with a servant.
The village chief’s birthday was coming up in a few days, and he wanted to choose a good gift in advance.
The servant boy was brought over from the village. He said helplessly, “Sir, the chief doesn’t like you that much. Why do you have to go up to him?”
Chu Shangshang sighed. “You always say such things. You’re not allowed to say it again next time. If the chief hears it, then both of us will be finished.”
“I understand. But, Sir, I really don’t want you to see you suffer.” The servant pursed his lips.
