The more Zhou Ziming heard the words of Little Yi, the more he thought that the latter made sense. As long as Yu Fei died, the only obstacle that he had in front of him would be gone. As for the disaster relief, he was the son of the village head, and even if the entire village does not eat—it wasn’t as if he was going to starve.
His mother had enough money to support their family. So what if the villagers suffered? As long as he could get what he wanted, who cared about what happened to the villagers?
Thus he stubbornly said, “I have no idea what you are saying. I have done nothing to that mer. So even if you ask me… I cannot help you.”
As long as he does not confess, what can they do to him? Could they force him into telling them where he had sent that mer?
Zhou Ziming did not believe that these two mers had the guts to do such a thing.
“You…” Master Su was angry enough to hit someone, but he was pulled back by Master Zhou, who looked at Zhou Ziming and said to him sternly, “Ziming, this is not the time for you to act wilfully. If we do not find that mer, then I am afraid that your mother will be really furious. You know that if something happens to Master Yu, Madam Yu will not sit still.”
“That’s right,” Master Su chimed from the side. He hurriedly said to Zhou Ziming, “If that mer is not found, then Yu Dong will bring your mother to the magistrate office. Do you want that to happen to your mother?”
However, Zhou Ziming had lost all his senses and rationality. With Little Yi helping him get whatever he wanted, Zhou Ziming started to take himself as the master of the world.
With his thought process, he now believed that he was the main protagonist and he deserved everything that he wanted without anyone obstructing him. Thus the second, the two mers tried to push him into telling him where Yu Fei was, and Zhou Ziming started to play hooligan.
He was not going to tell them, even if it killed him. He liked Xiao Chuxia so much. How could he miss the chance of marrying her?
The villagers and the mers were also over reacting, Yu Dong might be rich but she was not influential to the point where she could stop the resources of their village.
“I am telling you that I have no idea! I didn’t even meet with that mer today. How can you say that it is I who did something to him?”
“Ziming!” Master Zhou had enough. He glared at the mer and said to him, “Can you not hear what we are saying to you?”
He glanced at Xiao Chuxia before saying to Zhou Ziming, “You want to marry this woman fine! Since she is already entangled with you… We can think of something, but for the time being, you need to tell us where Yu Fei is!”
What Master Zhou said indeed made sense; after all, Xiao Chuxia was already involved with Zhou Ziming; there was no way she would be able to escape responsibility.
But Zhou Ziming was stubborn. He hated the fact that Yu Fei had won the heart of Xiao Chuxia without any efforts, while he had to work so hard to win Xiao Chuxia over to his side, and Little Yi also told him that there were really good chances of Xiao Chuxia going back to Yu Fei.
After all, while he won Xiao Chuxia through improper means, Yu Fei was truly the one mer whom Xiao Chuxia loved with her heart. As much as Zhou Ziming hated to admit it, he also agreed with what Little Yi said.
Only he knew how hard it was for him to control Xiao Chuxia. Even when he had her under his control, the woman would still end up remembering that there was something wrong. And would insist that you go back.
Only Zhou Ziming knew how hard it was for him to suppress Xiao Chuxia.
If Yu Fei did not die, then he was worried that Xiao Chuxia would never come under his control. So it was better for that mer to die!
Seeing that Zhou Ziming was insisting on keeping mum, Master Su and Master Zhou were both worried. They looked at one another before saying to Zhou Ziming, “Fine! If you do not wish to say anything, we will not ask anymore. But I am telling you, Ziming! If that mer is not found tonight, then you can forget about coming back home!”
“Your mother will definitely not let this matter slide! Just you wait!” Master Su scathingly threw those words and turned around to leave. He dragged Master Zhou with him as he knew that they did not have time to waste with Zhou Ziming.
Zhou Ziming, on the other hand, didn’t take them seriously. After all, the two of them were just mers and the one who was responsible for the entire family was his mother.
And his mother was currently under the suppressing spell of Little Yi. There was no way she would dare to go against him!
He snorted and rolled his eyes before saying with a flick of his sleeves, “Who are you trying to scare? My mother getting angry at me? Impossible!”
With that, he turned on his feet and then walked over to where Xiao Chuxia was standing. A smile adorned his face as he said to Xiao Chuxia, “Forgive me, Sister Chuxia. I have shown you a joke.”
As he spoke, he reached out to grab Xiao Chuxia’s hand, but the latter pulled her hand away with a frown.
“Sister Chuxia?” Zhou Ziming’s smile stiffened as he looked at the woman who had pulled her hand away from him. “What’s the matter?”
“I—”
“Sister!” Xiao Cai, who had been looking for his sister all over the village, came running. He glared at Zhou Ziming, who was sticking close to his sister,before turning to look at his sister. “What are you doing? The entire village is looking for Brother Fei and you are messing around with him?”
