Bab 222: Chapter 222. Subduing People's Hearts

 "It's me, Qu Da."

 Qu Da walked over in the darkness. Xing Ruhai and his wife followed behind him, followed by Jiang Cheng and another subordinate carrying two children. They had protected Xing Ruhai all the way back.

 They would not have known where to find Ji Shuisheng and the others if they had not smelled the fragrance of the stir-fried chestnuts.

 "Why is Uncle Qu back? Didn't I ask you to protect…"

 Ji Shuisheng heard Uncle Qu's voice and went out to welcome him. He had barely finished his sentence when he saw Xing Ruhai and his family behind Qu Da.

 "So it was the benefactor who sent someone to save me?"

 Xing Ruhai cupped his fists at Ji Shuisheng with tears of gratitude.

 "Young Master, you're so kind. I'm willing to do anything for you."

 "I don't need you to do anything for me."
