Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

Seeing his young master looking tired, Song Huai quickly interrupted and said, "Brother Ji, Miss Ji hasn't slept all night. Let's hurry back to town and let them wash up and have a good rest."

"Yes, yes, you are so thoughtful. I was so happy that I forgot about it." After blaming himself, Ji Shan turned to Ji Nuan and said, "Little sister, let's go back to the inn quickly. You are exhausted and need a good rest." He was finally able to stay with his little sister. It was really hard for him.

Ji Nuan nodded, "You guys have been up all night too, right? Everyone, have a good rest today. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

Song Jinbai watched the Ji brothers flanking Ji Nuan, feeling amused. Each of them treated Ji Nuan like a precious child, caring for her with every possible care. He was happy that Ji Nuan had so many brothers who loved her, but at the same time, he was also worried about the challenges ahead—after all, snatching a precious child from the hands of so many brothers-in-law was no easy task.

After they returned to the inn in Taoli Town, Ji Shan immediately arranged for several buckets of hot water to be delivered to Ji Nuan and Song Jinbai's rooms for them to wash and relax.

He also specifically told the innkeeper that they needed to rest during the day and hoped that the inn would not be too noisy so as to create a quiet resting environment for everyone.

After everything was arranged, everyone went back to their rooms to rest and recharge their batteries.

Ji Nuan slept until 3 p.m., but was awakened by a sudden noise downstairs.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, put on her clothes and walked out.

Coincidentally, Song Jinbai and Ji Shan were also out. Seeing that her eyes were not fully open, Song Jinbai couldn't help but smile.

"Were you woken up too?" he asked with concern.

Ji Nuan yawned and nodded, "Well, let's go down and take a look."

Ji Shan felt a little distressed when he saw that his sister had not yet fully rested.

He muttered, "I specifically told the shopkeeper not to make any noise this morning, why is he still so loud?" With a hint of dissatisfaction, he went downstairs with Ji Nuan and Song Jinbai.

In the small lobby downstairs, besides the innkeeper and two waiters, there were several burly men standing there. Among them sat a middle-aged fat man. All of them had a fierce look on their faces, looking like they were not to be messed with.

A burly man with a black face shouted, "If you don't hand over the person, don't blame us for starting to smash things!" His voice was deafening and full of threats.

"Hey, Mr. Wang, what's the matter? Why don't you sit down and talk it over?" The innkeeper smiled helplessly, trying to lighten the mood. "My inn has been open in Taoli Town for over ten years. We've always run it honestly, and we've never had any bad guys stay here."

The fat man sitting there said arrogantly, "Boss, I'm only waiting politely here for you to hand over the person because of your kindness. Otherwise, I would have asked someone to search him themselves."

The shopkeeper was cursing in his heart, wondering who the hell would be so polite to come to his house with a bunch of strong men.

But he still maintained a polite look, "That's right, that's right. Mr. Wang, please take a seat first. I will go and invite all the guests staying in the hotel to come out." As he spoke, he turned around and prepared to go upstairs to invite the guests.

"No need to ask."

Ji Nuan and the other two walked down the stairs at the right time. Behind them were other guests who had come down after hearing the noise.

After the guests came downstairs, they stood apart, pointing and talking about Mr. Wang and his group.

Song Jinbai asked the shopkeeper, "What happened? Why all the commotion?"

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer Song Jinbai's question for a moment.

At this moment, Wang Yuanwai loudly ordered: "Carry the person up!"

Following an order, two strong men carrying a stretcher walked in from outside.

There was a man lying on a stretcher. He supported himself with his elbows and raised his head with difficulty. His eyes passed through the crowd and locked onto Song Jinbai and Ji Nuan.

His scratched face was now distorted even more horribly by anger.

Trembling, he pointed at the two men and shouted angrily, "Dad, it's them! Catch them!"

The strong men surrounded Song Jinbai and Ji Nuan aggressively. Seeing this, the people around them retreated, fearing that they would be caught in an unexpected disaster and be implicated.

Ji Shan saw it all and was worried. He didn't know what was going on and could only stand by anxiously.

"Let's see who dares to take action!" Song Jinbai shouted, and the people who surrounded him couldn't help but stop.

He asked calmly, "Who are you and what gives you the right to arrest people? Do you have an arrest warrant stamped by the government?" His voice was steady and powerful, revealing unquestionable majesty.

The middle-aged, chubby man was also startled by Song Jinbai's aura. He looked up at him and saw that he was very imposing, unlike any ordinary citizen. He couldn't help but grumble inwardly. At the same time, he also noticed that Song Jinbai mentioned the "arrest warrant", and he felt even more apprehensive.

He stood up with his belly sticking out, trying to overwhelm the other party with his momentum, "You hurt my son like this, shouldn't I arrest you?" There was a hint of threat and questioning in his voice.

Song Jinbai glared at the disfigured Prince Wang with a cold smile, "We just arrived in Taoli Town and don't even know him! You're saying we killed him? Isn't that a bit far-fetched?"

“You, you, you…” Young Master Wang, lying on the stretcher, was so angry that he couldn’t even speak clearly. He struggled and pointed at Ji Nuan, “Yesterday at noon, at the end of the street, you beat up two of my brothers. This little bitch was there too, don’t even think about denying it!”

"Yesterday at noon?" Song Jinbai pretended to think, then said as if he had just remembered something, "I remember. Yesterday at noon at the end of the street, this girl was drinking tea at a tea stall. Suddenly, three scoundrels showed up and tried to take her away and sell her to Yichunyuan. I intervened, kicked two of them over, and saved the girl. Could it be that you were one of those three scoundrels who kidnapped this girl?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the tenants nearby began to curse in low voices, expressing their strong dissatisfaction and condemnation of the behavior of Prince Wang and his accomplices.

"Stop talking nonsense! Who wants to sell her?" Prince Wang argued cunningly. "She's like this, how much can she fetch? Not even enough for me to go to the Zuiyue Tower in the county."

"Really?" Song Jinbai remained unmoved and responded coldly, "Why don't you call the tea stall owner over and confront him face to face to see if what you said is true?"

Upon hearing this, although Prince Wang felt a little guilty, he still forced himself to say, "I'm not afraid even if you call me! I captured her because I wanted to take her back to be my concubine. It was she who didn't know how to appreciate it that caused this." His words revealed his contempt and dissatisfaction with Ji Nuan.

Doesn't this mean that he admitted that he raped a woman?

Mr. Wang looked at his son who was as stupid as a pig, and kicked him angrily. He wished he could beat him up again to wake up this stupid boy.

He was too lazy to pay any more attention to the idiot and instead shouted, "No matter what happened, you hit someone, it's a fact. My son and his two companions are now in this state, which is also a fact. I have every right to arrest you now."

Upon hearing this, Song Jinbai asked coldly, "It seems that Mr. Wang doesn't want to reason anymore?" His tone revealed his strong dissatisfaction with Mr. Wang.
