"Seventh Master, at noon I asked the director of the entertainment newspaper. He only said that the article was sent from Gaoyang County in the South Province, and that he couldn't disclose anything else."
"Look, should we have someone check again?" Bai Feng had already called the entertainment newspaper after seeing the newspaper that morning to casually inquire about it.
After all, we are an entertainment newspaper and frequently deal with his company, so we are quite familiar with him.
Of course, the newspaper can't just leak the contributor's information casually; if they want to know who that person is, they have to find someone to investigate.
"Gaoyang County?!"
Lu Zhengjing had also been pondering, who exactly was it?
The other party didn't seem to be hiding their identity. Fifth Uncle, Fifth?
His eyes suddenly flashed. Chen Xiaowu, the top scorer in the college entrance examination from the Chen family.
All the memories flooded his mind at once.
The scene of the fifth daughter of the Chen family speaking at the entrance of the lobby on the first floor of the Fengting Club a few months ago resurfaced in my mind.
And that time, when I met him at the train station on my way back from Haishi.
At first glance, what she said seemed like she was trying to climb the social ladder.
But looking back now, she said those words so casually and frankly, as if she really didn't think there was anything wrong with them.
There are two possibilities: one, they are genuinely vain and want to marry a rich man; the other is...
Her tone at the time seemed quite matter-of-fact, but upon closer analysis, it had a somewhat nonchalant feel to it.
In reality, they don't value the man's family background, but rather want to determine whether the two families are a good match.
Thinking about this, Lu Zhengjing became quite interested in the Chen family.
They can actually tolerate outsiders talking about their own family members like that without paying any attention, and yet they still manage to produce two top scorers in the college entrance examination.
Chen Xiaowu, on the other hand, took the college entrance exam early in her second year of high school. That girl seems to be quite something.
It seems he needs to find an opportunity to formally apologize to the Chen family, since he himself failed to handle the situation well.
Although he didn't investigate, he was basically certain that his second sister would not agree to marry a girl from the southern province as Changxing wished.
At the time, he simply didn't want his second sister to do anything drastic.
At this moment, Lu Zhengjing looked somewhat helpless, and couldn't help but feel a headache.
However, it's not convenient to go for now, as my every move is probably being watched.
Let's avoid causing unnecessary trouble for the Chen family later.
Lu Zhengjing was basically certain that the comic story was written by the fifth daughter of the Chen family. He pondered and said, "No need, I roughly know who it is."
"Who is it?" Bai Feng and Xie Jinzhou asked in unison, both looking somewhat puzzled.
"We'll talk about it later." Lu Zhengjing frowned slightly; he had a feeling he was about to run into trouble.
This fifth daughter of the Chen family is not yet an adult, but she doesn't seem like a child who just throws tantrums; in fact, she has quite a temper!
Well, it was indeed his fault. His second sister and outsiders overheard it at the door and spread it around.
Even though no one speaks ill of the Chen family by name anymore, they will probably still be talked about as a joke in private.
"Should we control the spread of these entertainment newspapers?" Bai Feng asked, puzzled but not asking any further questions.
"Let nature take its course," Lu Zhengjing said after a moment's thought. At least he had to calm down the fifth daughter of the Chen family.
No, something dawned on Lu Zhengjing's mind. The Black Eagle Gang had been causing trouble recently, and the person behind it might very well be targeting the Chen family because of this.
His expression suddenly turned serious. "Bai Feng, admit to this. Tell everyone that you deliberately insulted me and played a prank."
"Quickly, call the head of the entertainment newspaper right now. Whoever it is, find out who the comic's author is, but don't reveal it. Consider it a favor I owe the head of the newspaper."
"Seventh Master??" Bai Feng looked at Lu Zhengjing with great surprise. Had Seventh Master been so angry that he lost his mind?
"Bai Xiaosi, Seventh Master told you to do it, so hurry up and stop arguing." Xie Jinzhou noticed that Lu Zhengjing's expression was a bit off, and felt that this matter was not simple.
Although the brothers wouldn't ask, they all vaguely guessed that Seventh Master was busy with other things that were inconvenient for them to know.
Lu Zhengjing's eyes were serious. He nodded in confirmation, signaling him to hurry up. Bai Feng didn't delay any longer and immediately took out his phone to make a call.
"Hey, Director Huang, it's me. I need your help with something. Nobody contacted you about today's newspaper... Yes, consider it a favor that both Master Lu and I owe you... Sure, it's fine, but no one else can know about it."
"Seventh Master, your brother here also owes the newspaper a favor, you have to make it up to me!" After the call ended, Bai Feng didn't ask why, he knew there were some things Seventh Master didn't want them to know.
But we still need to ask about the benefits.
"Okay, next time Lao Jiang deals with you, I'll help you out." Lu Zhengjing's expression softened as he saw that the matter was settled, and he said calmly.
Bai Feng is a forgetful kid who always has a sharp tongue and is easily beaten up by the other brothers.
"No need. I don't bother Lao Jiang unless it's absolutely necessary. Why should he punish me?" Bai Feng rolled his eyes and said.
"Are you sure?" Lu Zhengjing asked, raising an eyebrow.
"...Alright, it's a deal then. Next time, Seventh Master, you'll give him a good beating for me." Bai Feng felt a little guilty.
He thought about it and realized that he might offend Old Jiang, that cunning man, again at some point.
"Seventh Master said he'd help you block the beatings so you wouldn't get beaten up, not that he'd help you beat people up." Xie Jinzhou scoffed, Bai Xiaosi was overthinking things.
——
It was 11 p.m. in Gaoyang County, at the Chen family's residence.
"Big sister, you need to think this over carefully tonight," Chen Xihua said to Chen Chunhua with a smile after returning home and washing up.
A little over an hour ago, the older woman got back into her car and the police arrived within ten minutes.
Actually, the three sisters didn't even need to stay; Captain Zheng could handle it himself.
It turns out he was deliberately looking for an opportunity to talk to his older sister.
"Okay, Xiao Wu." Chen Chunhua used to be shy and thin-skinned, but now she has gradually gotten used to it in front of Xiao Wu.
Chen Chunhua noticed early on that Xiao Wu seemed very afraid of her older sisters, and that she might meet the wrong person in the future.
Therefore, they analyze various situations such as dating, having a boyfriend, discussing marriage, and dowry.
This has become a topic that the sisters can naturally bring up and discuss.
I don't know where Xiao Wu, a minor, gets so many profound insights from, and they all seem quite thought-provoking.
Chen Xihua: In my previous life, a simple internet search would yield hundreds or thousands of classic quotes.
The next morning at eight o'clock, Chen Chunhua went out to meet with Comrade Zheng and give him his reply.
Actually, she didn't even need to go home and think about it for another night. On her way home last night, she already had the answer in her heart.
That's right, she's always had an inexplicable fondness for soldiers, but this time, it wasn't out of gratitude.
It was Comrade Zheng who gave her a special sense of security and stability; he was serious.
"Big sister, are you sure you don't need us to come with you?" Chen Meihua asked with great interest, her little 'watching the show and eating melon' thoughts clearly showing in her eyes.
"No need!" Chen Chunhua, who had been a little nervous, instantly forgot about it.
She glared at Chen San San with annoyance.
After her eldest sister left, Chen Meihua pouted and looked at Chen Xihua: "Xiao Wu, shall we go and take a look?"
"Third sister, if you want to get a good scolding from eldest sister, then you can come along," Chen Xihua said with a smile, though she wasn't very interested.
She had already seen the show last night; today it was mainly her eldest sister making a statement, nothing special.
She could generally guess what was going on.
Most likely, the older sister just blushed and agreed, what else could it be?
Indeed, my older sister didn't come home for lunch; she didn't return until around 2 p.m.
When Chen Chunhua entered the house, she saw her younger sisters and Xiao Liu looking at her with gossipy eyes, but she deliberately acted very calm.
However, in Chen Xihua's view, her elder sister was trying to cover up the truth.
Hehe, they'll soon have a brother-in-law.
Captain Zheng is not bad.
