Lose My Heart to the Lovely Kitten Princess - Chapter 235

Chapter 235 Don’t Make a Fool of Yourself

“What did he want you to do?”

Chu Yunshen rarely interrogated others directly like this, because it was always Xiaowu’s job, and he only listened from the side. There were not many in the world who were important enough to be interrogated by Chu Yunshen. When he thought about the unknown that was lurking around him, he became even colder when he spoke.

“H-He asked us to lure you away when the stone crashing show was about to start and to take our time so that you won’t go back so soon.”

It immediately dawned upon Chu Yunshen. They were trying to make him leave the base!

Damn it! Wouldn’t that little furry fellow be in danger?

There was finally a trace of emotion on Chu Yunshen’s originally calm face. The aura around his entire body was different from before. The viciousness in his dark eyes was apparent and dangerous. Chu Yunshen wanted to return to the great banyan tree to investigate the situation immediately, but there were some things that needed to be dealt with first.

“Who paid you to do this?”

Chu Yunshen reached out and pinched his tall nose, looking extremely impatient at the two people who were still trembling.

“I-It’s a skinny man. There seems to be a big mole on his face… Yes! It’s a mole!”

It was the short man who spoke first. He didn’t use many words to describe the man, but Chu Yunshen instantly knew who the man was upon hearing his description.

After all, there was only one person who was skinny and had a big mole on his face in the crowd. He was De Ertai, the Hu merchant that Mu Bai had pointed out to Chu Yunshen at the beginning.

It seemed that those Hu merchants had been eyeing them from the beginning, and now they made a move while they were still in preparations.

Chu Yunshen did not like being passive. Today, they had been in the passive state for a whole day, and it was driving him up the walls. He immediately released the two men and rushed toward the exit of Pink Alley.

When he finally came out Pink Alley, he saw that the crowd surrounding the big banyan tree had become much smaller from a distance. Those people were whispering something.

However, everyone was whispering, and Chu Yunshen did not hear Tingzhu’s loud shout, nor did he hear the sound of the gong that resounded through the sky earlier.

The closer he got to the crowd, the more obvious the impatience in his pair of phoenix eyes was. Chu Yunshen drove the crowd in front of him to either side of his body with a cold face. This time, he did not deliberately restrain the cold aura on his body. The audience felt the intimidating aura on Chu Yunshen’s body and automatically made way for him.

Their genuine fear was not because of the circus troupe’s leader’s charisma, but because of Chu Yunshen’s king-alike aura.

Some people directly walked away from the banyan tree when Chu Yunshen came over.

Earlier, a few Hu people left after the cat disappeared. Now, Chu Yunshen scared away a small number of people after he came back. Under the great banyan tree, other than Xiaowu and the others, only a small group of the people were still surrounding them. These people stayed either because they had not figured out what happened or they wanted to stay just for fun.

“Leader is back!”

Songtao was the first to raise his head when he felt the fluctuation of Chu Yunshen’s inner breath. Along with his quiet reminder, Tingzhu and the others raised their heads spontaneously.

Chu Yunshen walked through the other people and to the center of the stage with a cold face. When he first stepped foot on the venue, he hadn’t noticed the white furry figure. His hands that were hidden in his sleeves slowly clenched into fists, but there was no expression on his face.

“Leader…”

As Chu Yunshen got closer and closer, Xiaowu and the others all looked at Chu Yunshen and cried out in guilt.

“Where is the Persian cat?”

Chu Yunshen sounded so calm, just like in the past when he didn’t see the cat when he returned to the residence. His emotion was as calm as ever.

“There was a small problem. T-The cat is missing.”

Xiaowu silently lowered his head and did not dare to look at Chu Yunshen, hence, he did not notice anything unusual about Chu Yunshen’s emotion.

However, Mu Bai was a little surprised. After all, he had heard about the matter although he did not see it much. Normally, Chu Yunshen would be up in arms when he couldn’t find the cat in the residence, so much so that Xiaowu and even the cat would be punished because of this.

Why was Chu Yunshen so calm today? He was so calm that it was as if he had returned to the state he was before the Persian cat appeared in his life.

“What’s the situation?”

Chu Yunshen concealed the rising storm in his eyes and asked. In fact, he already had a general idea, but he needed Xiaowu and the others to tell him the specific details.

He hoped that the smart cat could make it through this ordeal and wait for him for a while.

She only had to wait until he understood the ins and outs of the situation, arrested the Hu people, and brought them back to justice.

Chu Yunshen wanted to see where these people got the courage to actually dare to scheme against him and the Persian cat.

His eyes, which were originally as deep as black wood, became even darker. He clenched and then loosened his fists under the wide sleeves of his robe.

Xiaowu had already described everything that happened after Chu Yunshen left. When he said this, Mu Bai, Tingzhu, and the others would occasionally add on the details. When they spoke of Gu Hunge and the Cosmos Sack, Chu Yunshen coldly interrupted them.

“Where is he?”

“He is… F*ck! This bastard slipped away!”

Xiaowu pointed his arm to his side, but the place where Gu Hunge had been standing was already empty, and only the crowd that had just gathered around him was left.

“Where is he?”

Chu Yunshen’s voice was colder than before, and if one listened carefully, one would notice the tremble in his voice.

There was nothing special about his remark because he simply repeated himself, but Xiaowu and the others knew that Chu Yunshen was really anxious, or he wouldn’t ask the same question twice.

Chu Yunshen had always been cold and indifferent to people and things. Normally, he was so reserved that he barely spoke. He would never ask so many questions in such a short period of time.

“I will go and find him now. I will try to bring him back as soon as possible.”

Xiaowu reacted very quickly. He put down his arms and said to Chu Yunshen respectfully.

“Go and alert the thieves?”

A faint smile appeared on the corners of Chu Yunshen’s lips, but in the eyes of Xiaowu and the others, that smile was very dazzling, and it was particularly ironic.

Mu Bai quickly pulled Xiaowu’s sleeve, indicating that he should stop talking altogether.

Even Mu Bai could see that Chu Yunshen was really angry this time, but Xiaowu was still talking without much thinking.

In fact, after Xiaowu finished speaking, he wanted to give himself two big slaps. He was usually very clever, but after such an abrupt incident today and the cat’s disappearance right in front of his eyes, Xiaowu was so upset that he talked nonsense. He didn’t even pay attention to Gu Hunge’s movements.

“Leader, I mean…”

Xiaowu hurriedly opened his mouth to make up for his mistake, but Chu Yunshen directly interrupted him, not giving him the chance at all.

“Those Hu merchants are gone too,” Chu Yunshen informed indifferently.

His voice sounded monotonous and flat, but Xiaowu and the others felt suffocated as if they couldn’t breathe. A layer of cold sweat broke out on their backs.

Xiaowu and Mu Bai quickly looked around and found that the familiar faces they had spotted in the crowd earlier had gone too.

No way! Those men had been watching the performance all the time!

Xiaowu clearly remembered that he had specially told the others to keep an eye on the Hu merchants. Even when he was performing the stone-breaking show, he reminded the men again.

He threw an inquiring look at Mu Bai, who shrugged and gave him an innocent look, while Tingzhu and Songtao shook their heads slightly.

Xiaowu had no choice but to recall the entire event again in his mind. Only then did he realize that the Hu merchants had disappeared after the show.

“They probably disappeared together with Gu Hunge.” Xiaowu carefully considered his words before saying them out loud.

This time, they were careless. Gu Hunge alone made them panic, so much so that they didn’t even notice that the Hu merchants, who were their key targets, had left too.

“Is this what you can do?”

Chu Yunshen jeered.

Xiaowu knew that his Master would definitely scold them for their incompetence, but he didn’t expect to hear such sarcastic words from him. Chu Yunshen had always been stern and directly punished them. He would not ask them in such a gloomy way.

Not only Xiaowu, but Tingzhu and Songtao were also not used to it. As the hidden guards, they would rather Chu Yunshen punish them to run the field for a whole day like before. This was better than listening to Chu Yunshen asking such a sarcastic question.

Perhaps, it would be better for Chu Yunshen to directly scold them, saying that they were incompetent, after which they would quickly receive the punishment.

However, today, Chu Yunshen did not act like he usually would. In fact, there was no emotion in his words now, and it sounded like a normal question.

Chu Yunshen casually swung his sleeves in front of him, and then put his hands behind his back. He slowly said a conclusion, “They are all involved in this.”

He stated this fact in a faint tone. He intentionally looked at Xiaowu and the others until he was sure that they had also looked up at him. Only then did he finally withdraw his scrutinizing gaze.

However, the curve of his lips gradually widened, and his pair of phoenix eyes also faintly curled upward.

He was clearly smiling, but there was a chill in his eyes. It was obvious that his smile was not a pleasant one. The cool air emitted from his body continuously pricked at Xiaowu and the others.

Xiaowu and the others wanted to quickly kneel down and admit their mistakes, but they couldn’t do so in such a situation. Under Chu Yunshen’s cold gaze, none of them dared to even breathe loudly, let alone answer him casually.

Although Xiaowu and the others had this speculation after the Hu merchants and Gu Hunge disappeared together, and they wanted to quickly report to Chu Yunshen, Chu Yunshen’s cold reprimand was so depressing that they forgot about it.

At that time, their minds were occupied, wondering why their Master was abnormal, and they were thinking about how to cheer Chu Yunshen up. As a result, they forgot this important information.

“Don’t make a fool of yourself here. Let’s go back and talk about it.”

Chu Yunshen shook his sleeves again and turned around. He no longer looked at Xiaowu and the others.
