Picked Up A Husband For Farming

401 Deng Chengxi Encounters Danger

Although this blind date banquet was planned by Xu Qing, because she was using Qiao Yanhui’s villa and because the news had spread to every corner of the continent, many people came one after another during the month of preparation. They were all participating in the blind date banquet. Even if they didn’t want to marry into the Ancient Kingdom, they could take this opportunity to get to meet outstanding young men and women from other countries.

The security in the Ancient Kingdom had also reached a new height to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation. After all, this was also a declaration of war against the eight secret families. However, no one expected that something still happened even under such strict security.

At the Qiao family’s house.

Xu Qing received the news that Deng Chengxi had returned today early in the morning. Actually, it would have taken Deng Chengxi some time to return, but Xu Qing wanted to take advantage of this blind date banquet to give Deng Chengxi a chance to find new love. Even if she still couldn’t forget Yi Chulin, she should at least make a few more friends. Of course, Xu Qing felt that it was time to give certain people some pressure. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to see their true motives.

“Little Qing, I’m back. You’ll definitely regret not going with me this time for the rest of your life. We definitely profited this time.” Deng Chengxi didn’t know that Xu Qing wanted to arrange a blind date for her and signed her up already. She had just returned to the Ancient Kingdom and hadn’t even returned home yet. She handed the supplies she brought back to Xu Sizhi before rushing over to report to Xu Qing. Of course, she mainly wanted to show off to Xu Qing. After all, Xu Qing didn’t go with her and missed out on many things.

“I can tell that you’ve earned money. Earn more money and choose a few young boys to serve you!” Xu Qing smiled somewhat wretchedly, but she really hoped that her friend would have someone to accompany her.

“Cut it out. I just want to earn money now. However, you caused quite a commotion this time. I heard about it even when I was overseas. Many people came with our caravan.” Deng Chengxi was preoccupied with earning money now. However, when she thought of what she had encountered on the way, she said worriedly, “By the way, when I came back, I heard some rumors. Many unmarried girls were raped on the way… They don’t remember what happened, but when they woke up the next day, they saw marks on their bodies.”

When Xu Qing heard this, her hand, which was holding tea, paused. This wasn’t a small matter. “Didn’t anyone investigate? Were they drugged? Otherwise, why don’t they remember anything?” Xu Qing lowered her eyes as she pondered over it. For this sort of thing to happen at this time, it was too much of a coincidence. Moreover, why was there no news from Xu Sizhi?

Deng Chengxi shook her head. “When I was staying in the hotel, I encountered another girl who had the same experience. That girl’s family found a doctor, but there were no traces of drugs, so the girl’s family said that she was trying to get attention. Then, that girl jumped down a building… What a pity, she was only twenty years old. I really wonder which beast did such a thing!” Deng Chengxi looked at Xu Qing with a mixed expression. “They came to the blind date banquet because they received an invitation, but something like this happened along the way. I’m afraid… they will blame this on you. You know that they won’t dare to slander Qiao Yanhui, but they will definitely take the opportunity to scapegoat you.”

This was what Deng Chengxi was most worried about. After all, Xu Qing had other motives for holding a blind date banquet. It was very likely that she would be implicated because of this.

“I’ll get Xu Sizhi to investigate. There will definitely be traces. However, since there are such incidents, you have to be careful when you go out recently,” Xu Qing said in a low voice.

Deng Chengxi nodded, but didn’t say anything else. She had traveled extensively all these years and had seen all sorts of people, so she wasn’t frightened by this sort of incident. After a while, Lei Wangshu and the others came to report the bill, so she went back first.

At night, at the Deng family’s house.

Deng Chengxi let down her guard as she soaked in the bath. She could finally rest for a while. She had been on the road for months. Although she had taken a bath when she was out traveling, she felt that it wasn’t as comfortable as being at home.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past the bathroom window! Deng Chengxi immediately opened her eyes. Her slender fingers held a towel as she looked out the window warily. She stared at it for a while, but didn’t see anything, so she thought that she was being paranoid and lay down slowly. However, in the next second, the window opened.

“Xi’er, did you miss me?” The man asked in a teasing voice.

The moment Deng Chengxi heard the voice, she quickly wrapped the towel around herself. “Who are you?” At the same time, she secretly looked around for a weapon.

“You don’t remember me? That makes me very sad…” The man walked out of the darkness and revealed his face…
