Chapter 177
Chapter 177
About twenty meters away, Guard Zhou covered his face, silently put on the coat handed to him by his colleague, and tied the belt into a knot.
Just now, after he led the two girls back to a safe area, he was busy untying the ropes that bound them. When he was removing the cloth balls from their mouths, the girls woke up and opened their eyes and slapped him twice on the left and right, then screamed in fear and tried to escape using their hands and feet.
Guard Zhou was stunned by this series of actions. Although the two girls' hands were soft and powerless when they hit his face, it was too embarrassing to be treated as a criminal in front of everyone.
If it weren't for the guard Ma who heard the noise and rushed over to check the situation, he wouldn't have known that his coat was missing. He had been moving around with his upper body naked the whole time.
It is not shameful for a man to be shirtless. When training in the mansion, everyone often faced each other with their shirts bare. But after all, they took off their clothes by themselves, not like now where they lost them without knowing how and made a fool of themselves.
Guard Zhou became more and more depressed the more he thought about it. He slapped his thigh hard and was about to go to the captured human trafficker to vent his anger.
Hiss! Guard Zhou stopped and rolled up his trouser legs to examine him in the light of the fire. Why was the skin broken and bleeding? He hadn't had time to fight in the past few days, and even a fall wouldn't have caused a square wound.
He simply checked his entire body and found that there were many inexplicable bruises on his waist and thighs, and even a few places where the skin was broken and blood scabs had formed.
When I asked other colleagues, they said there was nothing unusual except the scratches from fighting with the human traffickers.
It really was a new vendetta, old grudges! Guard Zhou was about to whip the traffickers with his horsewhip.
"Tell me the truth, which one of you hit me when I was unconscious?"
"Who took my clothes?"
Guard Zhou whipped the person with great force, but no one came forward to admit their guilt.
"Brother Ma, why is Guard Zhou so angry? It's just a minor injury and a worthless coat. You can get your money back by asking the manager for some medicine and rewards." Guard Zhao, with a bandage on his chest and chewing a dry biscuit, walked slowly to Guard Ma and watched together.
Guard Ma covered his mouth and said with a smile: "You don't know, Guard Zhou's illness was caused by fear.
Do you remember when he escorted the master to Dongjun Mountain last year? At that time, the son of a high-ranking official, tired of playing with the girls around him, picked up the servants and guards of Beppu for excitement.
Our guard Zhou was unaware of the situation and was invited by the guards of that mansion to a banquet. He thought he had gotten a free ride, but when he was drunk and dizzy, that young man brought his men over and stripped off his clothes and touched him one by one."
"What about our Guard Zhou?" Guard Zhao stopped chewing his biscuit and looked sympathetically at Guard Zhou who was trying to vent his anger but was getting angrier and angrier... He didn't know if he could keep his innocence.
Guard Ma took one look and guessed what he was thinking. "Guard Zhou was lucky; a light whipping sobered him up and he escaped over the wall.
But speaking of which, after that incident, he's been keeping his clothes tightly wrapped around him, never taking them off unless absolutely necessary. He was running around naked just now, and I thought his condition had healed. How could he not have felt it..."
Jiang Yan, who was running away, had no idea that she would dig up such a sad story just by digging nearby, and naturally she could not have imagined that they would have such a fate. A few months later, she would end up in the same cart with one of the people involved in the gossip mentioned by Aunt Huang.
At this moment, Guard Zhao chuckled and nudged Guard Ma with his uninjured arm. "Brother Ma, I remember you went to Dongjun Mountain too, right? You know so much about it, could it be that... you act like nothing's happened?"
Guard Ma snorted and turned away. Could he say he wasn't invited because he wasn't as good-looking as Guard Zhou, and that he was furious because he'd been secretly watching and only just found out what was going on? Such a shameful thing couldn't be said, even if beaten to death.
The two parted unhappily.
Not long after, the two ladies walked up to Guard Zhou with gloomy faces and said, "Give us the whip."
