The constable gave Zhang Hongyuan a thumbs-up in admiration, as if he saw a green halo surrounding him, thinking to himself: This is a real man! To catch a thief red-handed, you need to catch him in the act; to catch an adulterer in bed, you need to catch him in the act!

"Young master, please don't do anything rash, be gentle!"

Strange cries kept coming from inside the house, made by Su Lianlian.

Lin Ping didn't say anything, he just kept breathing heavily to cooperate.

Zhang Hongyuan, hiding outside the door, turned green with rage. Even though he didn't have much affection for Su Lianlian, he didn't want to be publicly cuckolded.

When the shouts inside reached their peak, Zhang Hongyuan's face finally turned cold, and he said in a sinister tone, "Lin Ping, you asked for this!"

Clearly, this was a trap set by Zhang Hongyuan and Su Lianlian. In this situation, even if Lin Ping didn't do anything, it would be hard to explain, let alone the fact that he actually pinned Su Lianlian down.

"bang bang bang..."

The fragile partition doors were repeatedly smashed open, and one after another, burly yamen runners rushed in, wielding water and fire sticks.

"Lin Ping, how dare you..."

Veins bulged on Zhang Hongyuan's face, but he was too embarrassed to finish his sentence.

Hearing the sound of the door being broken down, Lin Ping was startled and realized that he had fallen into their trap. He hurriedly got off Su Lianlian and made a gesture of pulling up his pants.

"Guards, arrest Lin Ping!"

Zhang Hongyuan shouted loudly, and immediately four yamen runners surrounded Lin Ping.

Lin Ping was in a panic, regretting that he hadn't brought his personal bodyguard Jiang Yunying with him, but how could he bring his wife along for something like this?

He knew that once he was locked up, there would be no chance of him getting out.

If he were beheaded, that would be one thing, but Lin Ping was afraid that Zhang Hongyuan would use him as a reason to negotiate with the city lord's mansion. He was afraid that Jiang Yunying would give in to the unreasonable demands of the other party in order to save his life.

Now that things had come to this, Lin Ping could only deny it to the death, and asked coldly, "In broad daylight, under the clear sky, what right do you have to arrest me?"

"You know this is broad daylight? How could you do something so shameful!" Zhang Hongyuan was seething with hatred, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

The constable next to him was displeased and shouted back, "You slept with Young Master Zhang's woman, and you still dare to argue!"

Lin Ping suddenly burst into laughter: "You can't even keep your own woman, and you still have the nerve to arrest people? Is it because she's too young?"

"Lin Ping, I'm going to tear you to pieces!"

Zhang Hongyuan stomped his feet in anger and shouted it out loud without any restraint.

After receiving the order, the four constables took a few more steps forward, and were about to pin Lin Ping to the ground.

“Young Master Zhang, what makes you say that Su Lianlian is your woman? Are you two already married, or does she have your name engraved on her body?” Lin Ping continued to retort.

As Lin Ping said, Zhang Hongyuan and Su Lianlian only had a marriage contract and did not actually get married. Even if Lin Ping and Su Lianlian had a relationship, it was mutual and could not be considered a crime.

"You!" Zhang Hongyuan gritted his teeth in anger, almost forgetting the words he had prepared beforehand. After calming down for a long time, he finally spoke: "Your crime of forcing a girl should be established, right?"

At this point, Su Lianlian kept crying on the bed, but remained lying there, perhaps afraid that Zhang Hongyuan would see her disheveled body.

"Hahaha!" Zhang Hongyuan laughed loudly, "See? Lianlian is crying, which proves that she was forced by you!"

"Su Lianlian, you conspired with him!" Lin Ping said angrily, pointing at Su Lianlian. He had finally figured out the whole story and immediately felt sorry for Jiang Yunying and the entire City Lord's Mansion.

Even if Lin Ping had a valid point, he couldn't explain himself. He was simply bewitched and couldn't control his lower body.

"Bring back!"

Zhang Hongyuan said excitedly, almost laughing out loud, not caring how bright the green light above his head was.

The four constables all revealed sinister eyes, swinging their fire-and-water sticks up and down, clearly intending to teach Lin Ping a lesson immediately.

Lin Ping staggered back a few steps, covered his head with his hands, and shouted, "Captain, save me!"

The four constables, not caring about anything else, thought Lin Ping was just bluffing. They raised their fire-and-water sticks high and brought them down hard on Lin Ping's body.

However, just as the Water and Fire Sticks were about to strike Lin Ping, a dark shadow suddenly flashed by, and the four Water and Fire Sticks were instantly cut in half, turning them into fire sticks.

Anyone who takes a step forward will be killed without mercy!

The embroidered spring knife in Xia Linglong's hand gleamed with a cold light, but it was less than a tenth the size of her eyes.

Zhang Hongyuan was immediately shocked. He never expected that Xia Linglong would suddenly rush out and stand with Lin Ping.

"Sir, you're not going to protect a criminal, are you?"

Zhang Hongyuan said sarcastically, not believing that Xia Linglong would break the law.

"Captain, I knew you would come to help me!" Lin Ping chuckled, slinking behind Xia Linglong, and suddenly felt emboldened.

Although Xia Linglong's martial arts skills were not as good as Jiang Yunying's, she was more than capable of dealing with several constables.

Xia Linglong rolled her eyes at Lin Ping but didn't say anything, naturally not wanting to have any interaction with this kind of person.

At that moment, Xia Linglong suddenly came to Su Lianlian's bedside and pulled her out of bed.

"The Welfare Bureau!"

Dozens of constables stared wide-eyed at Su Lianlian's body, eager to feast their eyes.

However, Su Lianlian was wearing clothes, and she had an extra layer of dense ropes than a normal person, which was clearly Lin Ping's doing.

"Young Master Zhang, do you think this fellow has a chance to bully Su Lianlian?"

Xia Linglong said, pulling on Su Lianlian, who was tied up like a dumpling.

It must be said that Lin Ping's binding technique was extremely skillful. A rope was almost indistinguishable from a piece of clothing. Unless Lin Ping had the ability to find a gap, it would be impossible to carry out any improper measures.

"Young Master Zhang, save me!"

Su Lianlian was in great pain, her fair skin marked with bloody welts from the straps, and the burning desire within her was still burning within her, desperately needing Zhang Hongyuan's help in every way.

"Lin Ping, I'm going to kill you!"

Enraged, Zhang Hongyuan brandished his broadsword and slashed at Lin Ping, a display of complete irrationality.

"Overestimating yourself!" Xia Linglong flashed and kicked Zhang Hongyuan away, then dragged Lin Ping's heavy body away quickly.

Then, dozens of constables were driven out, leaving only Zhang Hongyuan and Su Lianlian inside...

"Thank you so much, Captain Xia, for saving my life!" After leaving the Su family's ancestral home, Lin Ping bowed and expressed his gratitude, but his attitude was not sincere at all.

"You knew all along that I was hiding in the shadows!"

Xia Linglong refused to accept Lin Ping's thanks and asked directly.

If Lin Ping didn't know Xia Linglong was hiding in the shadows, how could he have called her out at the most opportune moment?

In fact, after entering the city, Lin Ping had already used his right eye to discover that Xia Linglong was secretly following him. Just when he was worried about how to get her to show herself, Su Lianlian suddenly appeared.
