Becoming wealthy by raising furry animals

Chapter 35: Taking Back Xiaobao’s Custody (3)

Only when they arrived at Zuixianlou did Ban You gradually calm down.

She took the cup of hot tea handed to her by Zhou Heng, took a few sips, and looked at Zhou Heng with tears in her eyes.

"Where are the little ones?"

"They're next door. I asked Duoshao to look after them. If you want to see them, I can take you there."

"Thank you." Ban You lowered his eyes and said softly.

Ban You followed Zhou Heng to the next door. When he opened it, he saw a chaotic scene. Duoshao was surrounded by Laicai, Xinbao and the others, and Jinzi and Yinzi were still howling.

Fubao stood by the window, watching this farce. Only Xuezhao and Heiqiu were nowhere to be seen.

"Where are Xue Zhao and Hei Qiu?"

"Squeak!" (Here, here.)
Ban You heard Xue Zhao's movement and looked over. He saw Xue Zhao patting Hei Qiu's head with his paw, while Hei Qiu shivered and huddled to the side, covering his head with his paw.

"Chichi~" (Human~ I want humans~)

Seeing this, she hurried forward and picked up Heiqiu. When Heiqiu saw Banyou, he lowered his head and began to cry in grievance.

"Chichi~" (Human~ It's so scary. It touches the black ball's head and drools, woooo~)

Ban You touched the black ball and looked at Xue Zhao, who looked like he was asking for praise. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Um, Xue Zhao just didn't have dinner. Hei Qiu, don't be afraid~"

She coaxed Heiqiu and looked at Xuezhao helplessly. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Duoshao's cry for help on the other side.

"Master, Miss Ban, help!"

"Laicai." Ban You saw that Laicai and the others were becoming more and more excessive, so he hurriedly called out.

"Meow!" (I told you not to take us to see humans!)

Lai Cai and the others shouted and ran to Ban You, but their eyes were still fixed on Duoshao.

"Woof woof!" (That's right!)
Xinbao also added fuel to the fire.

"Ahem, sorry, they were indeed a bit naughty." Ban You looked at Duoshao with great guilt.

Duosha patted the dust off his body, stood up quickly, waved his hand and replied: "It's okay, it's okay, they are very cute."

"If you guys don't behave, I'll confiscate your snacks."

"Meow~" (Human cat is wrong~)

"Woo~" (Xinbao doesn't dare anymore~)

"Ah~" (Silver didn't do anything bad~)

"Eat! Eat!" Fubao, who was standing aside, heard "Confiscate the snacks" and flew to Banyou's shoulder while shouting.

Ban You touched Fubao's head helplessly and promised to give it bird food later, only then did Fubao stop crying.

She squatted down, looked at the little guys very seriously, and said seriously: "I have something to do, you guys stay here obediently, otherwise I will really confiscate your snacks~"

"Meow~" (The cat knows~)

"Ah~" (Silver has always been very well behaved~)

"Woo~" (Gold is as obedient as his big brother~)

"Squeak!" (Xue Zhao did not make any mistakes, Xue Zhao wanted two bags of jerky!)

After Ban You finally coaxed the little guys, he and Zhou Heng returned to the room they had been in before, leaving Duo Shao to continue looking after the little guys.

After entering the room, Zhou Heng walked over to the couch and sat down. He poured himself a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and then looked at Ban You who was standing there. He saw Ban You's tangled face and immediately found it very interesting, and laughed unconsciously.

Ban You heard Zhou Heng's laughter, and a hint of annoyance flashed across her eyes. Then she took a deep breath and looked at Zhou Heng expressionlessly.

Zhou Heng felt very uncomfortable when she looked at him like that. He coughed lightly and asked her to sit down.

Ban You sat obediently on the chair, her back straight, her hands folded in front of her, looking like a lady from a noble family.

"I've already sent someone to investigate at You'an Hall. I'll let you know as soon as I find out." "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

"Since you want to thank me, then train the Sky Fox well and make her listen to me more, so that she won't be tricked away by you with a few pieces of dried meat again."

"Mr. Zhou, you're joking. No matter what, thank you for saving them today. Ban You will never forget your kindness and will definitely repay you!" Ban You stood up and bowed seriously and respectfully.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

The person who pushed the door open was Liu Xian.

"Master, I have checked it out."

"Oh? So fast." Zhou Heng listened, raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Ban You.

At this time, Ban You also looked at Liu Xian very anxiously.

"Tell me about it."

"The arsonist was Zheng Laocai, formerly of the Zheng Family Butcher Shop. Our interrogators revealed that he disliked Miss Ban, and that's why he set fire to You'an Hall out of spite."

"But when You'an Hall was renovated, they took fire prevention into consideration and used materials coated with fire retardant paint. How could this happen?"

"According to Zheng Laocai, he bought incendiary materials from a vendor and set fire to the front and back yards of You'an Hall when it was dark and no one was there."

"How is this possible?"

"Did you have any issues with him?"

Ban You nodded when he heard Zhou Heng's question. "Well, he lost his livelihood after divorcing Li Yiyi, so he's been using Xiaobao to extort money from Li Yiyi. Today, he asked for too much money, so I confronted him. He got so angry that he wanted to burn down You'an Hall."

"Oh, it's actually this kind of person."

Ban You didn't quite understand what Zhou Heng meant by this. She looked up at him questioningly. Zhou Heng glanced at Liu Xian with a cold, emotionless look.

"You should know how to do it."

"Yes!"

Ban You looked at this scene and always felt that she had seen similar scenes in the costume dramas she had watched before.

An idea suddenly struck her, and she looked at Zhou Heng with wide eyes, her voice rising a bit: "Are you going to kill him?"

Zhou Heng glanced at Ban You with a half-smile, and said calmly, "He ruined my business. Killing him would be too easy for him."

"That little sister"

"Don't worry, I never kill innocent people."

Zhou Heng said as he slowly walked down the stairs, step by step to Ban You's side, lifted her chin with his fingers, lowered his head, put his lips to her ear and whispered softly: "If you have done something hidden from me, you'd better admit it sooner, otherwise..."

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Ban You, his eyes dark and dark.

At this moment, Ban You truly realized that this man who had always treated her with such a romantic attitude was the ninth prince of the current dynasty, whose life and death could be decided by just one word.

Her dealings with him were like trying to get the skin of a tiger.

Outside the window, the wind was howling, thunder was rumbling, and thick dark clouds covered the sky, as if heralding the beginning of a strange storm.

At this moment, they stood facing each other. Ban You looked at Zhou Heng, and the moment their eyes met, she felt the air around them freeze. In that instant, she clearly understood that she had entered a silent war and could no longer escape.

"Can I ask you a favor?" Ban You looked at him, his voice slightly hoarse and his eyes calm.

"You say." Zhou Heng looked at her, as if a little surprised by her performance, and also full of curiosity about her next words.

"After dealing with Zheng Laocai, give Xiaobao to Li Yiyi."

"Easy to say."

"Thank you."
