Chapter 366 He was probably deceived
The six guards had disappeared, and standing at the door was a thin, middle-aged man he had never seen before.
Although he was wearing the uniform of his own guards, Zhou Chengjun still recognized him at a glance; he was not one of his men!
His features were hidden in the darkness and could not be seen clearly, but the veins on his hand holding the knife were throbbing, and the knife also emitted an eerie green glow in the dim light.
Zhou Chengjun was frightened by the murderous aura emanating from him, and was even more horrified that he could knock down all six guards he brought with him without making a sound. While he was talking to Su Jixiang in the interrogation room, he was completely unaware of what was happening at the door!
If such a person really wanted to strangle himself, it would only take a flick of his hand.
Zhou Chengjun only now understood what unfathomable meant!
He didn't know much about Wei Ling before because he had never met Wei Ling in person.
He had only heard of Wei Ling, and even though he had just stood in front of Su Jixiang, he had no personal experience of Wei Ling's strength in Mangcheng. After seeing Su Jixiang's abilities and this guard who came from nowhere, he knew that everything he had thought before was too naive!
In front of Wei Ling and Su Jixiang, he was like a child who knew nothing about the world.
He suddenly understood why his younger cousin Zhou Ziqi stopped him on the street and spoke to him like that!
He had already stepped into the abyss, but he was unaware of it!
Tonight, he lost miserably!
"Madam. Good trick!" Zhou Chengjun calmed himself down and then slowly said to Su Jixiang.
Even though I know I have lost miserably, I cannot lose this last bit of face.
"Your Excellency is too modest." Su Jixiang nodded and said to Wei Dong who was standing at the door, "Let Lushui and Guihua come in and we will help Madam Qu go home. Master Zhou has shown leniency to Madam Qu."
Weidong slightly turned his body, and Lushui and Guihua walked in quickly. They helped Madam Qu up from the left and right and walked behind Su Jixiang.
Su Jixiang also stood up, holding the account book in his hand.
"In that case, I'll take my leave today." Su Jixiang smiled at Zhou Chengjun. That smile was like a dark nightshade blooming in the dark night, noble and gorgeous. Even this interrogation room that was filled with bloodiness and brutality had a little warmth because of her smile.
"Madam!" Zhou Chengjun frowned slightly when he saw that Su Jixiang had no intention of giving him the account book. "Just because I asked you to bring Madam Qu back doesn't mean that Madam Qu is fine now." He looked at the account book in Su Jixiang's hand meaningfully.
Su Jixiang smiled slightly, "This account book! It's better to burn it!" She actually threw the account book directly into the charcoal basin used to burn irons in the interrogation room.
Suddenly, several flames appeared in the charcoal fire, rolling on the account book, and soon ignited the account book.
The fire suddenly started, the wind blew, and the sparks moved with the wind. Under Zhou Chengjun's gaze, the entire account book turned into ashes.
"Is Lord Zhou satisfied with this?" Su Jixiang smiled when she saw that the whole book was burned, "We'll take our leave first!" After that, she took Lushui and Guihua and supported Madam Qu and walked away with her head held high.
The night wind blew up her sleeves, and the white skirt was slightly lifted, as soft as flower petals. Her steps were light, bringing up a gust of wind, faintly mixed with the elegant and pleasant fragrance of agarwood on her body.
It was not until Su Jixiang left his sight that Zhou Chengjun reacted. He hurriedly picked up the tongs placed beside the charcoal basin and reached into the basin to search, trying to take out the account book that had been burnt into charcoal. However, the pages had already been burnt to ashes, and they shattered into dust as soon as the tongs touched them.
With a sullen face, he threw the fire tongs aside. The metal hit the bluestone floor with a bang, which created a slight echo in the silent interrogation room.
A feeling of irritation surged in his heart. Zhou Chengjun raised his leg and kicked the charcoal brazier hard. The brazier was kicked over and the red charcoal inside rolled out, creating sparks all over the ground... The rolling charcoal even ignited the scattered straw on the ground, starting tiny flames, but there was not much straw on the ground in the interrogation room, and after the flames burned out, the whole room returned to calm.
Zhou Chengjun looked back and saw the leftovers on the table. He waved his sleeves and swept all of them to the ground.
By the time he had finished venting his anger, the entire floor of the interrogation room was a mess, with broken porcelain pieces and leftover soup splattered everywhere.
Zhou Chengjun sat dejectedly in the armchair where Su Jixiang had just sat, as if all his strength had been drained away. A self-deprecating chuckle suddenly appeared on his face, which had turned blue with anger.
There was a high probability that he had been deceived by that woman Su Jixiang!
From the beginning to the end, he didn't see anything else in the account book, only the two words "Bingchen"! Her sweet words and flattery actually played him, the censor, in the palm of her hand! If there was really something in the account book, why did she burn it directly? Keeping it, she can control him more! Isn't it?
Good, good, good! Zhou Chengjun had never seen a woman as cunning and beautiful as Su Jixiang!
The smile on Zhou Chengjun's face gradually widened, and finally he burst into laughter.
The guards under Zhou Chengjun got up from the ground in confusion, and when they swarmed into the interrogation room, they saw this strange scene.
Their master was sitting in the mess, holding his forehead and laughing. He was so fond of cleanliness that he didn't care at all that his robe had fallen to the ground and was stained with dust and mud!
Only after Su Jixiang and his group got on the Marquis's carriage did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Let's go back to the Marquis' Mansion quickly!" she said to Wei Dong who was driving the coach.
"Yes!" Wei Dong drove away. When he returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he followed Su Jixiang and said excitedly to the people in the car, "Madam is really amazing. She was able to find the Zhou family's account book! Even we didn't know that Madam had such a good thing in our hands! We worried for nothing."
Su Jixiang said with shame, "Where do I have an account book!"
"Didn't Madam make a deal with Lord Zhou? She used the account book in her hand to exchange for Madam Qu." Wei Dong looked at Su Jixiang without knowing what was going on and asked.
Even Madam Qu, who was supported by Lushui and Guihua, stopped and looked at Su Jixiang in confusion.
Everyone heard it clearly just now! Su Jixiang was so confident, wasn't it because of the booklet in his hand?
Su Jixiang...it seems like everyone has misunderstood!
