Chapter 24 Spicy Attack

Although Wu Dajiang also had doubts, he did not think as much as Chu Zhao. Anyway, the boss would naturally take care of the things that could not be explained. At the moment, he was trying to find a way to take some food away so that those ignorant brothers could have a taste.

I saw that his arms were full of various takeout bags, and even around his neck.

Even the most capable delivery man is not as ruthless as him.

The two men slipped out of the study and slowly walked towards the outer wall. Halfway there, they met a team of patrolling guards, and they immediately hid behind the flower bed.

"Hey, do you smell the aroma of roasted chicken?" A guard sniffed.

"No, I think it tastes like roast goose." Another guard replied.

"Stop arguing, why do I smell like roast duck..."

Several guards talked among themselves and began to look for the source of the fragrance.

When Chu Zhao heard the voice, he was startled and glared at Wu Dajiang unhappily.

Wu Dajiang quickly held the food in his arms. He would rather die than throw away the food.

They moved slowly toward the wall.

"Maybe one of the masters was greedy at night and asked the kitchen to prepare a midnight snack." Another guard said.

"No, the masters can't possibly come to the front yard to eat. Could it be that some of the brothers on duty are eating secretly? Haha."

"We'll split it in half when we meet, and then we'll split up and look for it separately."

"I saw it, over there!" One of the sharp-eyed guards pointed in the direction of the wall.

When Chu Zhao saw that he was discovered, he quickly pulled Wu Dajiang forward.

"Ah! They're not from the mansion! There's an assassin!" The guards picked up their weapons and chased towards the wall.

Their shouting alarmed the other guards, and soon a large group of people surrounded Chu Zhao and his men.

The two of them had reached the wall at this moment. Chu Zhao jumped onto the top of the wall and was about to jump out. He looked down and saw that Wu Dajiang could not even climb up the wall due to too many things on his body. He was using his hands and feet to climb up the tree.

A guard had come under the tree and he chopped at Wu Dajiang's legs with a big knife.

Chu Zhao had no choice but to jump down to save Wu Dajiang and kicked down the guard with a knife.

But more guards rushed over, and Chu Zhao drew the soft sword at his waist to resist.

Wu Dajiang on the tree was also trapped by a guard holding a spear.

The spears below kept stabbing upwards, and Wu Dajiang kept dodging, but there were too many takeouts hanging on his body, and they were dangling, and he accidentally stabbed one of the takeouts with the spear.

"Splash", a big bowl of spicy hot pot was poured down, and the spear guard screamed immediately. It was estimated that a layer of skin on his face was burned off, and he couldn't open his eyes because of the spiciness.

The air was filled with a fresh, spicy smell.

"Ah!" Wu Dajiang also shouted.

Chu Zhao was startled, thinking he was stabbed, and quickly looked up, only to hear Wu Dajiang shouting in great pain:

“My soup, my dish!”

Chu Zhao was speechless.

His pause gave the other guards a flaw, and someone stabbed him in the face. He stepped back to dodge, but the black scarf on his face was still picked off by the other guard.

Wu Dajiang finally climbed up the tree branch and jumped onto the wall. Seeing this, Chu Zhao also quickly got rid of the guards and jumped onto the wall.

The two of them climbed over the wall and ran wildly into the night.

The guards of the Zhen Mansion chased them outside the wall, but there was no trace of the two men.

Neither of them noticed that in the darkness, a pair of eyes were silently watching their every move, and then disappeared into the night and headed towards the posthouse in the east of the city.

The sound of fighting here also woke up Zhen Wude who had just fallen asleep. He had been very busy these two days and had not had a good rest, so he was a little annoyed at being woken up.

He asked outside the door:

"What happened?"

The leader of the guards was afraid that Zhen Wude would punish him, so he just wanted to make a big deal out of it, so he replied:

"Sir, two little thieves sneaked into the kitchen, stole some food, and were discovered by us and ran away."

"Did they just steal the kitchen? Are there any other unusual places?"

The guard replied: "No."

Zhen Wude was so sleepy that he didn't think much about it. He reprimanded the guards and asked them to patrol more strictly, and soon fell asleep again.

"Get up! Get up! If you don't get up now, you will have no work..."

The ringing of an alarm woke Gu Xi from his sleep.

Well, today is Monday. She has experienced so much in the past two days that she almost forgot that she still has to go to work.

I quickly got up, washed, and took the bus to work as usual.

Although her space is now full of gold bars and silver ingots, and she is a wealthy woman even if she does not go to work, she still does not want to be out of touch with modern society.

After a busy morning, in the afternoon, her department manager Xiao Xuemei came over and said to Gu Xi with a smile on her face:

"Xiao Gu, your application for regularization has been approved. Congratulations!"

"Thank you, boss!" Gu Xi was also very happy.

The original probation period was two months, but she was promoted to a regular employee ahead of schedule because of her heroic act last week.

"Congratulations! Gu Xi!" Zhao Lili and other colleagues came over to congratulate her, and also cheered:

"Gu Xi, you have to treat us."

Gu Xi agreed with a smile: "Okay, what do you want to eat? It's my treat."

The supervisor said, "You've only been here for a month, and your salary isn't high, so forget about treating me to a meal, and just order a cup of milk tea for everyone."

Although Gu Xi is not short of money now, she is still grateful from the bottom of her heart for her supervisor's thoughtfulness.

Then she immediately ordered some milk tea and snacks for everyone from the food delivery platform.

After get off work, Gu Xi went to buy two bottles of Moutai.

When she was in prison, Zhou Qing said he wanted to treat her to a drink, and she knew that this old man was a heavy drinker.

The two bottles of wine she sent over were definitely to his liking.

Then, Gu Xi, in a good mood, hummed a little tune and went home. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw three uninvited guests. His face couldn't help but darken, and his good mood was completely ruined.

The people who came were her biological father Gu Guoming, stepmother Li Yufen, and her half-brother Gu Yuhao.

What are this top-notch family doing here?

"Xiao Xi, you're back?" Her biological father Gu Guoming took the initiative to greet her.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Xi really couldn't put on a good face to him.

"Well, it's nothing. We just came to see you. Would you like to invite us in to chat?" Gu Guoming said a little embarrassedly.

"What do we have to talk about?" Gu Xi was still cold and indifferent.

"You are such an impolite child! What did your grandmother teach you?" stepmother Li Yufen accused.

It would be fine if she just criticized her, but Li Yufen even dared to criticize her grandmother. Gu Xi couldn't stand it and cursed with her hands on her hips:

"You ran to my doorstep and acted wildly, and you even dared to disrespect my grandma. What did your mother teach you?"

Li Yufen pointed at Gu Xi, too angry to speak.

Gu Guoming shouted sternly:

"Gu Xi! No matter what, stepmother is still mother. How do you talk to your mother?"
