The man actually didn’t want to get involved in their family affairs, especially when it came to women’s quarrels.

However, he was here on business, eating and staying at the Cheng Family; his master had some distant family relations with the Cheng Family. When the other party encountered trouble, it was impossible for him to truly not intervene.

Facing the look from Cheng Wenbao, he nodded.

Seeing this, Cheng Wenbao felt relieved, patted Cheng Jiatong on the shoulder, and said, "With Brother Cheng here, don’t worry, you won’t be wronged."

Just as he finished speaking, his servant hurried in, "Eldest Young Master, a government officer has come outside, saying they have matters to discuss with the Fourth Miss."

Cheng Wenbao’s expression changed slightly, "I haven’t even gone to settle the score with him, and he dares to come here? Over a woman?" After all, their Cheng Family isn’t an unknown entity, how dare a mere officer come to provoke?

He turned his head to the man, "Brother Cheng."

"Let’s go, and take a look."

Only then did Cheng Wenbao turn to the servant and say, "Lead them to the front courtyard."

After all, the Cheng Family has some status; they can’t just stand at the main door to solve problems, especially since his sister was beaten up. If this spreads, it would be a laughingstock.

After speaking, several of them also headed toward the front courtyard.

Outside the living room, the group saw Xia Yan standing at the door, along with a thug tied up and gagged by his side.

Inside the living room, there seemed to be two other people, but it was hard to see them clearly from a distance.

Just as Cheng Wenbao was about to take a closer look, Xia Yan spoke, "Sir Cheng, your Fourth Miss really has a good method, bribing a thug to kidnap our young lady. Your Cheng Family should provide an explanation for this, right?"

Cheng Wenbao was stunned, what thug kidnapping their lady?

He frowned, turned to look at Cheng Jiatong behind him.

The latter seemed a bit guilty but immediately denied it, "What kidnapping, I don’t even know what you’re talking about. It’s your so-called young lady who should give me an explanation, she hit my face like this."

As she spoke, she exposed half of her face, which indeed looked shocking.

Cheng Wenbao knew that his fourth sister must be hiding something, but at this point, he definitely had to stand by her, so he raised his voice and said, "As you can see, my sister is the real victim; her face is injured like this, if the force were any greater, her appearance would be ruined."

Xia Yan just glanced, "According to my understanding, it was Fourth Miss Cheng who made the first move?"

"I didn’t, I just said a few words to her. Even if you’re an officer, you can’t ignore right and wrong; we haven’t even settled the score with her, yet you come running to our Cheng Family acting like the victim. Do you really think our Cheng Family is easy to bully?"

No sooner had Cheng Jiatong finished speaking than several house servants stepped forward, as if ready to confront Xia Yan.

Xia Yan was amused, "Alright, since you don’t admit it, then let’s go to the Office and let the Lord judge this properly."

"Are you using your position as an officer to seek personal vengeance? You think just because you’re a little officer, you can do as you please?" Cheng Jiatong walked to the man who hadn’t spoken, "Brother Cheng, you see, they not only hit me but also want to frame me. Do they really think there’s no one in the Cheng Family?"

The man pressed his lips together, stepped forward and said, "Officer, such trivial matters really shouldn’t trouble Lord Qi. I am Cheng Xian, may I have a word with you privately?"

Sitting in the living room was Shu Yu, Cheng Xian??
