Chapter 183 "Obtaining Clues"

"What does it mean?"
Jing Mo's face changed slightly.
If it's not the enemy deliberately causing trouble on the south bank of the river, then who else would have injured Uncle Bao and taken him away?
...No, it seems that I have fallen into a fixed mindset.
If that's the case, there is actually no grudge between Jiangnan and Baoshu. So why go through so much trouble and effort to take him away?
From the beginning, it was mistakenly assumed that the people who took Baoshu away were the ones who injured him, without considering other possibilities.
"So... perhaps you know who did this?"
Xia Chunniang tilted her head and a look of innocence appeared on her face, as if she were a naive child exploring the world for the first time.
"What do you mean? Are you talking about hurting him, kidnapping him, or rescuing him? If you don't make it clear, I won't know what you're referring to."
"Three groups of people?"
Jing Mo was slightly stunned and heard the connotation in her words. In addition to the group of people from the south bank, who took Baoshu away in the end, it can also be said that there were two waves of people who were rescued.
So, what's the deal with those two groups of people?
Looking at the way Spring Lady is acting, it seems like she knows everything about the whole situation. If we want to find out the whole story, asking her would probably be the easiest and quickest way.
Can Chunniang speak?
Although this matter cannot be considered a secret, it is extremely difficult for someone like Jingmo, a small character, to investigate the whole thing.
Carefully observing Chunniang's expression, Jingmo was uncertain whether to ask or not.
Springy seems to have understood Jingmo's hesitation, and she smiles slightly, with a hint of teasing.
"Do you want to know everything?"
"Yes."
Jingmo nods, waiting for Springy's judgment.
If the embrace just now could be considered an appetizer, then the upcoming request is likely to be as difficult as hell. Springy is not a philanthropist, otherwise she wouldn't have such a high position in this chaotic business world.
"Guess what I want, if you guess right, I will tell you."
原本京墨已经做好了准备，等待春娘的答案了，可她却像是又起了玩心，眯着眼睛笑的纯良。
Almost choked by this answer, Jingmo took a deep breath and didn't know what to say.
"... Can't we have another hug?"
With a touch of resignation, Jingmo said uncertainly.
In her mind, she had naturally rejected this answer.
"Who can deny that?"
Spring laughed with a snort, opened her arms towards Jingmo, like a satisfied little wild cat who had successfully stolen a delicious meal, feeling proud of herself.
Jingmo mechanically opens his arms and lets Chunniang throw herself into his embrace.
His brain has shut down and cannot function anymore. Jingmo is prepared to receive terrifying answers, but instead he gets the best possible result. She feels like she is floating in the air, unable to touch the ground with her hands and feet.
"Besides us, there is another group of people who are fans of Gundam. It is also them deliberately coming to our door, causing trouble and chaos. They should be wanting..."
Spring Nymph's expression changed slightly as she suddenly reached out her hand and grabbed Jingmo's arm, pulling him into her embrace.
Jingmo hadn't reacted yet, his mind still immersed in Chunniang's story when suddenly a tremendous force hit him, causing his body to move uncontrollably.
Bang!
A loud noise came from behind, making his ears ache. Jingmo threw himself into Chunniang's arms, unable to see anything and only able to feel his body being carried along by someone.
After an unknown amount of time, the loud noise finally stopped. Just as Jingmo was about to lift her head, a strong hand pressed down on her head and she was passively buried in Chunniang's arms once again.
"Who are you? Why are you kidnapping us, the people of the Bai Family?"
A sharp shout, it was the voice of Bai Shi.
Accompanying this shout was a chilling sound of something breaking through the air.
Jingmo reacted and realized that these were the reinforcements he had specifically requested. He didn't expect them to arrive so quickly, and Jingmo struggled to break free from Chunnuan's restraints.
"Don't move."
Chunnuan's deep warning voice sounded, carrying a hint of imperceptible killing intent.
This is completely different from the previous seductive voice, and even Jingmo couldn't help but pause for a moment. However, she quickly reacted.
Although she couldn't see what happened behind, from her perspective, she could also see Chunniang take a few steps and directly avoid a shadow approaching from a distance.
We can't let them continue fighting.
With his mouth covered, Jingmo tried to explain. However, Chunniang's strength was too strong, and Jingmo could only show his eyes while being held in her arms.
Jingmo was gagged, and she grunted for a while, only able to make a few muffled sounds.
She couldn't help but struggle a few times.
"You better calm down, otherwise, I can't guarantee that I can leave with you unscathed."
果不其然，收获的又是春娘的警告。
好在这几下的挣扎，已经足够京墨将嘴露了出来。
“停手！都停手！”
又是一道阴影由远而近，眼看着刺耳的破空声再次响起，京墨着急地出声。
"They won't stop."
The cold voice of Chunniang rang out again. As she uttered these words without any warmth, she moved again, evading the long whip at a tricky angle.
"Be careful!"
A slightly anxious voice sounded, and Chunniang responded promptly.
Jingmo was taken along and spun around for a while before feeling dizzy and sensing the slow descent.
"Bai Shi! Stop!"
Before she could recover from her state, she forced herself to shout out loud, feeling nauseous.
Although she never saw who the person attacking was, Jingmo heard Baishi's voice and, in desperation, could only call out his name.
"Stop!"
Sure enough, upon hearing a familiar voice, Bai Shi quickly stopped the person who was about to attack and stared menacingly at the mysterious woman in front of him.
"Let go of the person in your arms, and we will leave this place."
"Hmph, just because you want her to leave doesn't mean she necessarily wants to."
Xia Chunniang sneered and stood up, protecting Jing Mo.
"Bai Shi! I'm fine, I'm okay. I need to talk to her about something now. Just wait for me a moment..."
Just now, the continuous rotation made it almost impossible to stand firmly. Jingmo supported Chunniang and it took a while to relieve the dizziness.
"Miss Jingmo, don't worry. I have already informed Madam. If anything happens to you, I will make sure this Jiangnan shore won't be easy to get away with!"
Bai Shimian's face turned cold, and he dared not make any further moves. Now Jingmo is being held hostage by Chunniang, and if he is not careful, Jingmo may get hurt.
While waving his hand to signal those around him to step back, he carefully surveyed everything in front of him.
This Spring Lady has excellent agility, even the best whip user under her command cannot harm her. If the next attack cannot harm her, it is likely that Jing Mo will be injured.
"Bai Shi, listen to me. I am safe now. You take them and go out first. Trust me, I can handle things here."
Without caring about his own body, Jing Mo took a step forward from behind Chun Niang, fully exposing himself, so that Bai Shi could confirm that he said it was completely safe.
"You take the people out first, and I'll have a good talk with her. If something really happens, it's my own fault, I won't blame you."
Glancing at the group of people behind Bai Shi, Jing Mo said in a deep voice.
It seems that Bai Shi is waiting for such a guarantee. When Jing Mo made up his mind, he just frowned slightly and nodded.
"Alright, I'll lead the people out first. If you encounter any danger, just shout out loud, I'll be at the door and can hear you."
With a cold glare at Chunniang standing next to Jingmo, he sneered, "Of course, after one stick of incense, I will visit again. If anything happens to Miss Jingmo, I will seek justice."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and the group of peculiar people and strange events behind him orderly left one after another.
When it was the last one, Bai Shi gave a deep glance at Chunniang, with a flash of killing intent in his eyes. It was a threat and a warning.
Spring Niu is not afraid, facing the murderous gaze of Bai Shiman, but blossomed with a brilliant smile.
"Goodbye, oh."
She even waved at Bai Shi casually and watched him leave.
Waiting until Bai Shi's back figure is partially blocked by the crumbling wooden door, Chun Niang turns her head back and smiles at Jing Mo adorably.
"Now it's just the two of us, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Let's talk about what we were just discussing. First of all, what exactly do they want to do?"
With a curious look, Jingmo also looked at Chunniang.
White Shi's performance just now was very impressive. If there is such a crutch outside, she would have more confidence in her heart.
Spring Niang also felt her changes naturally, and couldn't help but smile slightly, with a hint of imperceptible satisfaction.
"What do they want to do, you should be able to guess, right?"
"What does that mean?"
Jing Mo was slightly stunned, and something suddenly came to mind.
"Exactly, they have no grudges or grievances with your partner, but they are able to find out that there is a significant connection between you and your partner."
That's right, the Tianzhuang that Baoshu used to work for is now controlled by Tuzhuang, and she has never hidden her relationship with Baoshu.
So many people know that they have a relationship between friends and family. Threatening myself with Baoshu is a very convenient and effective method.
And the relationship between Tu Zhuang and Gao Da is also very close. In the past, Tu Zhuang used to work under Gao Da, and now if Tu Zhuang gets any information, he will naturally share it with Gao Da.
So it is inevitable for Gundam and his team to come and capture Uncle Bao.
"Did they hurt Uncle Bao?... No, they don't have a reason to. If they wanted to threaten me, they only need to take him away, there's no need to go through all this trouble and intentionally hurt him."
Spring Lotus flashed a touch of satisfaction in her eyes, and then gave a new clue.
"Then think again, who could possibly have injured Zhao Yuanbao?"
