Chapter 112 Hero Saves the Beauty
Yan Songyu patted her head. "Don't worry, I'll have someone go look for her."
After dropping the mother and daughter off at home, Feng Yu drove home alone. As he passed through the old town, he saw that the sign for Zhao's Green Bean Cake was still lit up. He got out of the car and walked into the quiet alley.
Zhao's restaurant is located in the owner's home, so they hung a sign at the street corner to attract customers.
"Oh, what a perfect timing! These two boxes were meant for visiting my relatives, but something came up at their house, so they had to put them out again."
Feng Yu smiled and said, "Really? Haha, then I'm so lucky! Your skills are excellent; you might not even be able to get your hands on a dish normally."
Yan Songyu really likes to eat this mung bean cake, but because it is all handmade and freshly baked, and there is only one master chef, the amount sold each day is very small, and it is sold out as soon as it is sold out.
Feng Yu was carrying two boxes of mung bean cakes, intending to turn back and surprise Yan Songyu. However, after walking only a few steps, he saw a girl being dragged into an alley by several thugs. He immediately put down the mung bean cakes and chased after them.
Those people moved quickly; the girl was dragged into a courtyard, and the gate was closed, but the sounds of sobbing and lewd laughter could be faintly heard inside.
Snap snap snap—
Feng Yu pounded on the door, shouting, "Open the door! People inside, you'd better stop! I've already called the police!"
He had just finished shouting when, after a rustling sound inside, only the girl's unrestrained crying remained.
When Feng Yu kicked open the door, the group of thugs with blond hair had already disappeared. The back door was wide open, leaving only the girl huddled in a corner crying. Her clothes were torn to shreds, exposing large areas of her skin.
Feng Yu glanced away, took off his suit jacket and tossed it to her, saying, "Put this on."
The girl took his coat, stood up while sobbing softly, and Feng Yu then realized that the girl was actually Jiang Chengli's niece.
It's no wonder he didn't recognize her; Jiang Zhenzhu had changed so much. She was no longer the simple, unassuming woman he had seen at the hospital. She was dressed in designer clothes, wearing delicate makeup, and her long, messy hair was draped behind her. Moreover, he felt a sense of familiarity about Jiang Zhenzhu now, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Feng Yu was still pondering, unaware that in Jiang Zhenzhu's eyes, the hero who saved the beauty was a god who had come to rescue her riding on auspicious clouds.
What was once a superficial attraction based on appearance and material things has now transformed into an obsessive, moth-to-a-flame attraction.
"Mr. Feng, thank you for saving me."
Jiang Zhenzhu's eyes were red and swollen, and her makeup was ruined by tears, making her look pitiful. But Feng Yu didn't notice the subtle glint in her eyes at all.
"Who are you……"
He recognized me! Jiang Zhenzhu couldn't help but feel secretly delighted, so her efforts over the past few months had paid off!
"Mr. Jiang's niece, right? I'll contact him to come pick you up."
Jiang Zhenzhu's smug smile froze. To him, she was just his second uncle's niece.
So he didn't pay any attention to her changes... The bittersweet feeling of loss almost brought tears to her eyes again, even though she wasn't the kind of girl who cried easily.
"Isn't that right? I admitted my mistake?" Feng Yu asked, puzzled.
“Yes…” Jiang Zhenzhu lowered her head.
"Let's leave here first. You go outside and wait for your second uncle in a crowded place."
Feng Yu walked out first, and Jiang Zhenzhu could only wrap her coat tightly around him and limp behind him.
When Feng Yu returned to the alley where Zhao Ji lived, he found his mung bean cake still safely placed in front of that house, so he quickly went over and picked it up.
Jiang Zhenzhu glanced at the mung bean cake in his hand, then at the Zhao Ji signboard not far away, and silently noted in her heart: He likes to eat mung bean cake.
"Why are you here alone?" Feng Yu asked, looking at the pitiful Jiang Zhenzhu.
"My grandma got lost. It's my fault for not looking after her properly, so I came out to look for her."
Jiang Zhenzhu felt very guilty. If she hadn't been so engrossed in searching for news about Feng Yu online, she wouldn't have missed her grandmother's disappearance.
Feng Yu didn't comment, only saying, "Girls should be careful when they go out, and try to avoid secluded places. Someone has already gone to look for your grandmother."
"Okay, I understand. I won't do it again." Jiang Zhenzhu took Feng Yu's words as a sign of concern.
Feng Yu was reminded of how Yan Songyu had been framed. He wondered if he should suggest to Songyu that Feifei learn Sanda or other martial arts like her, so that she could better protect herself.
Although they will always protect Feifei, they are afraid of overlooking anything, and their own protective abilities can play an unexpected role at critical moments.
“Call your second uncle and have him come pick you up,” Feng Yu said casually.
"My phone was stolen by those people," Jiang Zhenzhu said, her head bowed in frustration.
Feng Yu sighed and resignedly took out his phone to call Jiang Chengli, but it took several tries to get through. "Hello, Mr. Jiang."
"President Feng! Is there any news about my mother?" Jiang Chengli's voice was urgent.
"No, I ran into your niece in the old town. She was almost bullied. You'd better come and pick her up."
"My niece... Pearl?"
"yes."
"Mr. Feng, could I speak with Pearl for a few minutes?"
Feng Yu turned on the speakerphone. "Okay."
"Pearl, are you alright?"
"Second Uncle... I'm alright. Mr. Feng saved me, but my phone and bag were stolen."
"Can you go home by yourself? Your grandma hasn't been found yet, and I live far from the old town."
Jiang Zhenzhu seemed to understand the deeper meaning behind his words, and hesitated before bursting into tears, "I...I...Waaah..."
"It's alright, don't cry, don't cry. Give the phone back to Mr. Feng."
Feng Yu seemed to realize that he had gotten himself into trouble, but if it happened again, he would not let a girl be bullied.
"I'm listening."
"Mr. Feng, since we're going to help her to the end, could you please take Pearl home? I really don't have time here."
Feng Yu wanted to offer to call Jiang Zhenzhu a taxi, but he decided against it, thinking she must still be very scared after what had just happened.
"Alright, this place is close to Yushui Bay. I'll take her there and ask the Yan family's driver to take her."
He was just about to deliver the mung bean cake to Songyu.
"Yes, yes, thank you very much, Mr. Feng."
After hanging up the phone, Feng Yu carried the mung bean cakes and walked outside. "Let's go."
"Thank you, Mr. Feng," Jiang Zhenzhu said.
Jiang Zhenzhu followed behind Feng Yu, wanting to get into the car, but when she tried to open the passenger door, it wouldn't budge.
Feng Yu placed the mung bean cake on the passenger seat and pointed to the back seat.
Jiang Zhenzhu gritted her teeth and had no choice but to go to the back.
There were Feifei's little blanket, coat, and snacks on the back seat. Jiang Zhenzhu smiled and said, "President Feng is so good to Feifei. Does Feifei often ride in your car?"
Feng Yu grunted in agreement, put on his headphones, and started the car.
Jiang Zhenzhu was about to speak again when she heard Feng Yu say softly, "Hey, Songyu, it's me."
