Chapter 1424: You and I Are Both Responsible
Most people are best at using their right hand.
Fang Youzhen’s actions largely prevented Lv Xiang from suddenly rising up to harm others again.
This was originally a tactic used on the battlefield to deal with enemies.
However, compared to the vicious enemy soldiers, Lv Xiang is clearly lacking considerably.
He merely took that flying kick from Feng Fuce and was already groaning in pain.
Not to mention the hits given by Bai Yaoyu and Fang Youzhen afterwards.
After the three stopped, Lv Xiang was already lying on the ground, continuously crying out in pain.
"My son! My precious son!" Lu Da looked pained, hurriedly rushing to Lv Xiang’s side to check his safety.
In a panic, he turned to Feng Fuce and the others, "You interrogate cases, but why use such harsh methods? I’m going to report this to the authorities!"
Bai Yaoyu sneered, "Report to the authorities? Your son tried to assault and abduct my sister; it’s already merciful of me not to kill him!"
Feng Fuce turned to Bai Zhi’er, "Are you alright?"
Bai Zhi’er shook her head, "I’m fine."
She hadn’t even used her mana, yet Lv Xiang was already subdued by them.
Fang Youzhen followed Bai Yaoyu’s words, "If he’s not guilty, why would he resort to violence?"
Feng Fuce looked at Lei Hu, "Take him back, put him under severe interrogation."
"Yes!" Lei Hu and the Xiu Luo Envoy stepped forward, firmly pinning down Lv Xiang.
Lv Xiang still appeared somewhat unconvinced, muttering aggressively.
Seeing him like this, Lu Da felt as if a knife was twisting in his heart.
He then gazed at Feng Fuce and the others, "How can you use torture for confessions? This is under the Emperor’s domain; is there no law?"
Feng Fuce’s usually indifferent gaze was now filled with intense hostility.
His fingers moved slightly, and if Bai Zhi’er weren’t here, with his temperament, Lu Da would have long lost his head.
Thus, Feng Fuce said to Fang Youzhen, "You escort the Princess outside first; I’ll ask a few more questions, and then join you."
Bai Zhi’er, understanding the situation, obediently stood up upon hearing this.
"Alright, we’ll be waiting for you in the carriage!"
She clung to Fang Youzhen’s arm as they left.
It left Fang Youzhen quite puzzled.
Whenever Feng Fuce saw other women, even those close to Bai Zhi’er, like herself, he acted as if they were invisible.
Let alone taking the initiative to speak.
It was the first time that he greeted her and reminded her to take Bai Zhi’er outside.
Bai Yaoyu clearly noticed this too.
He didn’t follow them but rather looked suspiciously at Feng Fuce.
Bai Zhi’er stood at the doorway, turned back and shouted, "Third Brother, let’s go."
Bai Yaoyu snapped back to reality, "You two head out first, I’ll see how the Marquis plans to interrogate and learn alongside."
Fang Youzhen snorted, "Learning under pressure, that’s not something you can pick up in a short time."
Bai Zhi’er burst into laughter, "Alright, Sister Youzhen, we’ll wait outside for them."
After they left, Feng Fuce’s gaze turned dark, he slightly raised his head, and Chu Ping understood, directly shutting the teahouse door.
"What... what do you want to do?!" Lu Da, noticing the coldness in Feng Fuce’s eyes, stammered in fear.
Feng Fuce glanced at Bai Yaoyu from the side, "Third Young Master, whatever happens next, don’t let Bai Zhi’er know."
"If she gets frightened, you and I will be accountable."
Bai Yaoyu paused then nodded, "Of course."
Afterwards, Feng Fuce withdrew his gaze.
He slowly walked towards Lu Da.
Feng Fuce’s eyes blazed with murderous intent and ferocity, a stark contrast to his previously cold and imperious demeanor.
