Chapter 1358: What Should I Do?
“What happened?” Papersmith asked.
Ye Qing did not answer immediately. Instead, he ordered, “Can I please trouble you to bring my friends to me, Old Zhang? I’ll explain everything once everyone is present.”
“As you command, young master.” Papersmith turned away and left without further prodding.
A short while later, Papersmith arrived with Fang Xiaoman and the others. When they noticed the serious look on Ye Qing’s face, they couldn’t help but ask, “What happened, Joyless?”
“It’s like this...” Ye Qing did not try to hide the truth. He told them everything—that Fang Zhiyong had kidnapped his fellow Strangers and their families in order to threaten him.
“What did you say? Fang Zhiyong captured our families to threaten you?”
Gu Suitang was stunned when Ye Qing finally finished his explanation. “I don’t understand. He should capture us if he wants to threaten you! The fuck did he capture our families for?”
“Actually, I think Fang Zhiyong has already attacked us.”
Fang Xiaoman figured out the truth real quick. “The Yin Horse Carriage incident is the death trap Fang Zhiyong set up for Joyless using us.”
“That is exactly right,” Ye Qing answered. “He was hoping that the Yin Horse Carriage would lead us all to our demise, but he failed. That is why he came with this strategy.”
Lin Yuhuai exploded with anger, “Fang Zhiyong calls himself a paragon of virtue and the model of all scholars, and he dares to perform such shameless and despicable acts? He is the stain upon the honor of all scholars and Chu!”
