The candidates all sighed emotionally. For many, those who could secure the top positions in the county examination were nothing short of idols.
As the tension rose among the group, Qin Zhenzhen found herself becoming more and more motivated, refusing to succ.u.mb to fear.
Su Bin’s capability was evident, and it gave her hope that they could resist being taken away easily.
Su Bin kept shouting, his voice determined, “Officer, I am Su Bin, and Qin Zhenzhen is my wife. We don’t know these people at all. Please come and arrest them!”
In that crucial moment, some of the candidates recognized Su Bin. “Yes, he is
Su Bin. I shared a room with him the other day at the settlement.”
Two candidates from West Mountain College also stepped forward, confirming loudly, “Yes, Officer, he is Su Bin. He studies at West Mountain College with us!”
“The girl who fought is Su Bin’s wife! She came to West Mountain College, and we have all seen her!”
The guards promptly surrounded them.
The men were on the verge of turning around and fleeing when the guards quickly surrounded them.
The capture of the culprit who attempted to kidnap the top-ranked daughter-in-law was a significant achievement.
The men hadn’t antic.i.p.ated Qin Zhenzhen’s impressive capabilities. Their attempt to subdue her had failed, and they missed their chance.
Had they known how formidable she was, they wouldn’t have chosen this moment to attack.
Fearing exposure, the men exchanged a nervous glance and decided to make a dash for it.
However, the guards acted swiftly, shouting in unison and attempting to apprehend them.
Taking a moment to catch her breath, Qin Zhenzhen paused.
Su Bin gently placed his hands on her waist. “Darling, are you hurt anywhere?”
Feeling a bit tense but not pushing Su Bin away, Qin Zhenzhen shook her head.
Relieved, Su Bin couldn’t help but blame himself. “It’s my fault for not being able to protect you. You were almost kidnapped.”
Qin Zhenzhen gently pushed away Su Bin’s hands, her voice small and trembling. “I’m sweating all over, please don’t get so close.”
Su Bin didn’t insist on holding her waist any longer. He wasn’t quite sure why he did it, but he found the sensation comforting and soft, and he couldn’t get enough of it.
But then an important thought crossed his mind, and he started shouting,
“Guys, let me ask you again, are you from the Jiang Family in the capital?”
The men, now surrounded by guards, vehemently denied, “What are you talking about? We are not from the Jiang Family!”
They weren’t about to admit anything.
Su Bin nodded, pondering, “You mentioned being my wife’s brother, and I thought you were from the Jiang Family, her cousins, perhaps!”
“But you look so fierce, nothing like them!”
The men were frustrated beyond measure. They had no idea what this boy was going to say next.
Would they manage to escape today?
Su Bin turned to the onlookers, his voice earnest, “Have you heard of the Jiang
Family in the capital? The Jiang Family with outstanding men and women.”
One or two informed candidates replied loudly, “Yes, we know about the Jiang
Family in the capital, but what does that have to do with this?”
Su Bin then turned to Qin Zhenzhen and spoke gently, “Let my wife do the talking.”
Qin Zhenzhen understood Su Bin’s intention. She was about to expose the ugly truth about the Jiang Family.
She was determined to make a big deal out of this and let everyone know that she was already Su Bin’s wife.
In this way, the Jiang Family would never dare to send her into the palace again.
Qin Zhenzhen started to explain, her voice steady, “My grandma is originally from the Jiang Family in the capital. She possesses incredible skills in both cooking and medicine. However, due to a physical condition with her eyes, she was married off to someone from the countryside..”
