Chapter 2561 — Deception

So Ying Ziyu quickly dragged Chen Xi along and ran out of the school. By then, afraid that Ying Ziyu and Chen Xi would see his face, Chen Xiaoba had already climbed into the Mercedes van and hidden himself. He had claimed to be Ying Ziyu's brother because Li Cihua had once mentioned that Ying Ziyu had an older brother and had given the school a heads-up about it, so he had simply borrowed the identity—and it worked perfectly, leaving Ying Ziyu unsuspicious.
"Sir, where's my brother?" Ying Ziyu asked the gatekeeper curiously when she and Chen Xi reached the school gate and saw no Wei Zhao.
"Oh? Your brother? He was just here... he must have gotten in the car already. It's chilly out!" The old gatekeeper, thinking nothing of it, pointed to the Mercedes van not far away.
"All right, thank you, sir!" Ying Ziyu led Chen Xi toward the van. Her heart was anxious, so she thought nothing of it and took no precautions. She was just about to knock on the door when it flew open and Zhuang Niaoqiang's hand chops struck like lightning. Neither Ying Ziyu nor Chen Xi had time to react before they collapsed unconscious.
Zhuang Niaopao helped shove the two quickly into the back seat of the van, and then they sped away from the scene...
The whole thing took only a few seconds. Zhuang Niaoqiang and Zhuang Niaopao were cultivators, so Ying Ziyu, however skilled a little delinquent girl she might be, was no match for him.
The old gatekeeper did not see any of this—but someone nearby did: Leader Zhu. His task was to watch over and protect Chen Xi, and every day he disguised himself as a rag picker and loitered near the school, precisely to protect Chen Xi on her way to and from class.
When he saw Zhuang Niaoqiang and Zhuang Niaopao seize Chen Xi and drag her into the Mercedes van, he panicked. But he dared not pursue them—others might not recognize the two Zhuang brothers, but he did!
He knew the faces of the hidden-family youths inside and out, and he made a point of avoiding any clash with them. He also knew the strength of these two: both were peak of the early Earth rank. So Leader Zhu did not dare make a reckless move at all!
He was only an early Earth-rank expert, while the other side had two at the peak of early Earth rank. If he chased after them, he would simply be throwing his life away!
