Gan Mengxian looked at Jimo Qiao in shock and asked, "Miss Jimo, are what they said true?"
"This...this...Sister Gan, I...how should I tell you?"
Jimo Qiao wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start.
As soon as Gan Mengxian saw Jimo Qiao's face, she knew that what Hong Bao and others said was true. She was immediately disappointed and the kind look in Jimo Qiao's eyes disappeared.
Gan Feng said: "Mei Xian, I am very suspicious of this person's identity now. If she is really the daughter of the high priest of Jimo, how could she pretend to be a Taoist nun and enter the city?"
This immediately reminded Gan Mengxian. It was strange to think about it. When he knocked on the door, he kept saying that he had a letter that could prove his identity, but when they met, he said that he had lost it while shopping yesterday afternoon. How could it be such a coincidence?
Moreover, the father had never mentioned his acquaintance with Jimo Shu before, not to mention that he was a big shot in the capital. Even if his daughter came to visit her father, how could she not notify him in advance?
The most puzzling thing is that she still wants to live in her own home. Could it be that she has some ulterior motive?
For a moment, many questions flashed through Gan Mengxian's mind, and they were all unreasonable.
"Who are you? What's the purpose of coming here?" Gan Mengxian suddenly asked.
Seeing this, Jimo Qiao waved her hands in a hurry and said, "No, Sister Gan, my father is really Jimoshu. I didn't lie to you!"
Gan Mengxian didn't want to believe it and asked: "In that case, please take out the letter and let us see it."
"Sister Gan, didn't I tell you before? I accidentally lost the letter and the wallet together. There were five hundred taels of silver notes in it!" Jimo Qiao was so anxious that she almost jumped.
Gan Feng suddenly sneered and answered: "Haha, that's not true. Since there is nothing to prove your identity, why should we believe you?"
"This, this..." Jimo Qiao was choked and speechless.
So he had no choice but to look at Chai Yan and said anxiously: "You should say something!"
Chai Yan shook his head, spread his hands and said, "What else are you talking about? Look at this situation now, can you explain it clearly?"
Gan Feng immediately said: "Xianmei, look, they can't pretend anymore, they are fake!"
Gan Mengxian looked angry, stared at Jimo Qiao in disappointment and said: "It turns out you are really liars."
"No! We are not liars!" Jimo Qiao shouted anxiously, stamping his feet.
Immediately afterwards, Gan Feng was heard shouting: "Hong Bao, catch them and send them to the Yamen!"
Before he finished speaking, Gan Feng had already pulled Gan Mengxian and hid far away, leaving only Hong Bao and three others standing in front of the hall door.
The thin man had seen Jimo Qiao's power, so he reminded him in a low voice: "Brother, you are still injured, so you can't fight them head-on. Why don't we surround them first, and then we can join together when there are more of us."
"That's right, brother, don't fight forcefully!" The short and fat man also agreed.
Hong Bao naturally knew that he was no match for Jimo Qiao, so he accepted the two people's opinions and said loudly: "Hurry up and call someone, I will support them!"
The next moment, the thin man and the short and fat man rushed to the left and right and shouted.
"Come here, catch the thief!"
"Someone come quickly!"
Soon, the servants of the Gan family came here one after another.
Jimo Qiao shouted loudly: "Sister Gan, please listen to my explanation, I really..."
"Excuse me with a hammer! Hurry up and withdraw..."
Chai Yan didn't want to sit still and wait for death, so he grabbed Jimo Qiao's hand and ran out from the side door of the main hall.
As soon as Hong Bao saw the two running away, he immediately chased after them, not even caring about the pain of the wound on his back.
Chai Yan pulled Jimo Qiao and ran out of the main hall, walked along a long veranda, and soon came to a small garden.
Chai Yan stood in the small garden, looked around, pointed to a courtyard wall on the left front and said: "Go there, climb over the wall!"
After that, the two of them ran towards the courtyard wall as fast as they could.
Although Hong Bao followed closely, by the time he reached the small garden, Chai Yan and Jimo Qiao had already reached the courtyard wall.
"Haha, look where you are running to?"
Hong Bao was very happy when he saw this, because the wall beside the small garden was not low, it was more than ten feet high. It was not easy to climb over the wall and escape.
After Jimo Qiao ran closer, he realized that the courtyard wall was higher than he thought, so he became anxious and shouted: "Brother-in-law, it's too high here, it's difficult to climb over!"
Chai Yan replied: "Don't worry, I'm here, come here quickly!"
With that said, Chai Yan pulled Jimo Qiao onto his back and shouted at the same time: "Hold on tight, don't let go!"
Immediately afterwards, Chai Yan carried Jimo Qiao behind his back and ran towards the courtyard wall at full speed.
Jimo Qiao behind him saw that the courtyard wall was getting closer and closer to him, and he couldn't help shouting: "Brother-in-law, be careful...ah——!"
The moment the word "heart" was spoken, Jimo Qiao found himself suddenly jumping upwards, and his screams immediately escaped his mouth.
Along with the shouting, the scenery in front of Jimo Qiao was falling rapidly. It was not until the rising height exceeded the top of the wall that her field of vision suddenly broadened.
At this moment, Jimo Qiao saw almost half of the scenery of Jiezhou City, but her mind was completely blank. Except for tightly holding Chai Yan's neck, no other thoughts existed.
After a brief moment in the air, Jimo Qiao's body felt a sense of weightlessness as he fell rapidly.
But before Jimo Qiao could react, Chai Yan landed firmly on the ground with her on his back.
At this moment, Chai Yan and Jimo Qiao were already outside the courtyard wall of Gan's house.
As soon as Chai Yan landed on the ground, he put Jimo Qiao down and ran forward without saying a word.
But when he took a step forward, he realized that Jimo Qiao hadn't followed, so he hurriedly turned back and shouted: "Why are you standing there, why don't you run quickly!"
"Ah? Oh oh..."
Jimo Qiao suddenly woke up as if from a dream, and quickly followed Chai Yan's footsteps. The two of them ran away and disappeared.
Inside the courtyard wall.
Hong Bao stood under the courtyard wall and continued to be in a daze. There were beads of sweat on his forehead. He raised his head and stared blankly at the top of the wall, unable to say anything.
After a while, the thin man and the short fat man also chased after them.
When the two of them saw their elder brother in a daze and said nothing, they asked him what was wrong, but Hong Bao seemed not to have heard and continued to stare at the wall blankly.
It wasn't until Gan Feng and Gan Mengxian arrived that Hong Bao finally came back to his senses.
"Hong Bao, where are they?" Gan Feng asked anxiously.
Gan Mengxian was behind Gan Feng, looking at Hong Bao and waiting for his reply.
Hong Bao pointed to the top of the courtyard wall and said: "Run...Run..."
"Run away?" Gan Feng was shocked.
"Ah?" Gan Mengxian was also shocked.
Immediately afterwards, Gan Feng pointed at the wall and asked, "What did you do? With such a high courtyard wall, how could you let them escape?"
Hong Bao explained: "Master, you didn't see it just now. The man jumped out with the woman on his back. I...I couldn't chase him at all..."
"What did you say! Jumped over? Or jumped over with someone on your back?" Gan Feng was even more surprised.
Hong Bao nodded: "Yes, young master, I saw it with my own eyes."
"Pah!" Gan Feng slapped Hong Bao on the face and shouted, "Are you awake? It's such a high wall, tell me whether they jumped over it or carried someone on their backs.
Jumped over? Do you think I’m stupid?”
Hong Bao covered his face and said aggrievedly: "Master, I didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, just ask a few people over there. They saw it too."
As he said that, Hong Bao pointed at a few maids standing not far away.
When Gan Feng turned to look over, several maids immediately nodded vigorously and confirmed that what Hong Bao just said was the truth.
Gan Feng was dumbfounded for a moment. He looked up at the towering courtyard wall and muttered to himself in horror: "Isn't it right? You can jump over such a high courtyard wall at the drop of a hat? Is this still a human being...
