Chapter 4 Encounter with the Li Family
"By the way, come with me for a bit. I need to buy some things for Uncle Xiang and his family. Thank you for taking care of me and protecting me these past few days." Zheng Jiayu was very grateful to Captain Xiang and his family.
She had a very happy time during her stay at the Xiang family's house, and none of those shady characters came looking for her.
"Go now?"
Zheng Jiayu took the box back to her room, put the contents away, and then took the money to go find Gu Yunting.
When Zheng Jiayu saw Gu Yunting at the door, she turned back, took out the letters, walked up to Gu Yunting, and handed them to him.
"These letters are safest with you." She trusted the Xiang family, but no one knew if Li Zonglin and his gang would be so ruthless as to come to the Xiang family to cause trouble.
Gu Yunting carefully placed the letters close to his body: "I'll give these letters to you when we get back to my territory."
Zheng Jiayu nodded without saying anything and took Gu Yunting directly to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Zheng Jiayu bought a lot of things at the supply and marketing cooperative, all of which were daily necessities.
After shopping, Zheng Jiayu and her companion were about to head back when they saw Li Jian on the road.
Upon seeing Li Jian, Zheng Jiayu's body tensed instantly, and she stared sharply at the person opposite her.
This person is like a venomous snake; he could pounce on you and bite you at any moment.
Gu Yunting immediately noticed Zheng Jiayu's mood and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
“That person over there is Li Zonglin’s son. He’s like a viper, I don’t like him at all.” Zheng Jiayu also whispered to Gu Yunting about things related to Li Jian.
She also told Gu Yunting what Li Jian had said before he left.
Gu Yunting immediately understood why Zheng Jiayu's body tensed up when she saw this man, and why she seemed like a completely different person.
It turns out this person is from the Li family.
Gu Yunting switched the items from his two hands to one, took Zheng Jiayu's hand, and led her past Li Jian.
As the two were about to leave, Li Jian suddenly grabbed Zheng Jiayu's arm and said with a gloomy expression, "Who is this man?"
Li Jian's grip was so strong that Zheng Jiayu couldn't help but frown: "What does this have to do with you?"
"Zheng Jiayu, don't forget, you are my fiancée. How dare you hook up with another man? You're asking for death." While Li Zonglin was saying that Zheng Jiayu was his fiancée, in Li Jian's heart, Zheng Jiayu was already his woman, and had nothing to do with the people around her.
But now his woman is brazenly appearing in front of him with another man.
Isn't this a slap in his face?
Gu Yunting found this person quite interesting, then released Zheng Jiayu's hand and placed it on Li Jian's arm, gripping it tightly.
Li Jian gripped Zheng Jiayu's hand, wincing in pain.
He slowly released his hand under their gazes.
Who exactly are you?
“My name is Gu Yunting, and I am Zheng Jiayu’s fiancé. We are the ones whose marriage was arranged by our parents and elders, and we have a marriage certificate and engagement tokens. And you, who do you think you are? How dare you question me here?”
Li Jian stared wide-eyed at Gu Yunting in front of him: "Is everything he said true?"
"Of course it's true, he really is my fiancé, and you are nothing to me."
"Li Jian, I don't care what your family says to you, but I have nothing to do with you now and never will. You'd better stop talking nonsense here." Zheng Jiayu never expected this person to say such disgusting things.
They even said it to Gu Yunting's face.
Li Jian looked at Zheng Jiayu with a sinister gaze, then fixed his eyes on Gu Yunting, and said in a hoarse voice, "You think you can escape my grasp by bringing a man over?"
"Even if you live in the Xiang family, I will not let you go. Sooner or later you will be mine."
"If you break off your relationship with this man now, I might treat you better; otherwise..."
Faced with Li Jian's threat, Gu Yunting shielded Zheng Jiayu behind him.
His height, a head taller than Li Jian's, was intimidating to Li Jian.
"Otherwise, what are you going to do to my fiancée?"
Zheng Jiayu stood behind Gu Yunting, exuding a strong sense of pressure.
Li Jian looked at Gu Yunting and took two steps back.
"Zheng Jiayu, have you really thought this through? You'll regret doing this."
"No, I'll regret it if I don't do it. Go to hell."
Li Jian was very dissatisfied with Zheng Jiayu's disobedience.
If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have waited until the couple's funeral was over; I should have taken action before then.
That way, Gu Yunting wouldn't have anything to do.
Gu Yunting took Zheng Jiayu's hand and turned to leave.
Once out of Li Jian's sight, Gu Yunting said, "You made the right choice to contact us."
If Zheng Jiayu is allowed to stay here, she will be plotted against by Li Jian sooner or later, as he is as venomous as a snake.
This is not a good thing for them.
Zheng Jiayu's face also looked very unpleasant.
“I understand what you mean. I have a feeling that Li Jian must have done something, otherwise he wouldn’t be so sinister, with a murderous look in his eyes.” Zheng Jiayu didn’t say it too clearly, but Gu Yunting understood.
"I will have someone investigate Li Jian here. Our people have already bought tickets, and we will leave first thing tomorrow morning."
Zheng Jiayu nodded and agreed to Gu Yunting's arrangement.
When Li Jian returned home, Li Zonglin hadn't gone back to work yet. Seeing his son return, Li Zonglin went over and said, "Weren't you going to the Xiang family to find Zheng Jiayu? Why are you back so soon?"
It would have been better if Zheng Jiayu hadn't been mentioned, because Li Jian's mood worsened as soon as Zheng Jiayu was brought up: "Dad, that bitch Zheng Jiayu, she actually dared to get involved with another man."
"What? Zheng Jiayu has a man with her? Who is he?"
"His name seems to be Gu Yunting, and he said he was Zheng Jiayu's fiancé."
Li Zonglin instantly realized who this person was.
This person is clearly the one the captain was talking about.
"This person is probably here to pick up Zheng Jiayu. If they leave, we'll miss our chance."
Li Jian couldn't let the person he had his eye on leave just like that.
So he said to Li Jian, "Dad, why don't we just take action?"
"Okay, we'll make our move tonight, but make sure the people you hire don't involve us, and that the investigation doesn't trace it back to us," Li Zonglin instructed anxiously.
"Don't worry, the person we found will definitely not betray us."
That night, while Zheng Jiayu and the others were sleeping, they suddenly heard noises outside.
Zheng Jiayu was the first to be woken up.
As soon as I opened the door and stepped outside, I saw Captain Xiang also coming out.
Hearing the sound of lock picking outside, Captain Xiang quietly walked to Zheng Jiayu's side and said, "Go back to your room. No matter what happens, don't come back. Also, hide the letter."
Zheng Jiayu looked at Captain Xiang with concern, and just as she was about to speak, she heard the sounds of fighting outside.
