Chapter 1063 - 1057: Bad Premonition
Madam Luo’s eyes reddened slightly, and she appeared extremely anxious as she said, "We’ve encountered bandits before and like in the past, we handed over silver, but unexpectedly, the bandits took an interest in a female shopkeeper among us and kidnapped her and her maid, intending to make her his chief wife."
"Indeed, two house servants who came with her resisted, and were killed on the spot." Shopkeeper Qiao pointed not far away and said, "We all helped to bury those two loyal servants. Fearing more innocents might get hurt, the female shopkeeper told the other servants to stop, and then she was taken away by the bandits.
The remaining servants have already gone back to report the news; we are still in shock and were just about to leave after some rest. Alas! We still have such a long way to go, and who knows what will happen next?"
"Are there many bandits on this road?" The young man asked, furrowing his brows.
"Not a few," said Shopkeeper Qiao, "but most of them are after wealth; it’s rare they kill and abduct like this time. Alas! It’s only Miss Du’s bad luck. And she really should have, given her beauty, stayed hidden and let a servant come out to handle things."
"Miss Du?" the young man jumped, asking quickly, "Which family’s Miss Du?"
Madam Luo said, "It’s the manager of Manxiu Building, Miss Du herself!"
The young man’s face turned deathly pale, and he almost couldn’t stand steady.
