Chapter 74 Zheng Yaozong is arrested
At the critical moment, a voice came from behind—
"Don't move! Military special forces, all members of the Zheng family inside, hands up!"
The major who led the team was the first to rush forward, grabbing Zheng Yaowan's arm and pinning her to the ground as she looked back in bewilderment.
"Who are you? Who gave you permission to trespass on official property!"
"Excuse me, ma'am, we are directly under the jurisdiction of Commander Feng of the 103rd Division. The entire Zheng family is now under the control of the military."
Zheng Yaowan refused to give up, "What right do you have to control our family! A bunch of audacious bastards! Do you even know who the Zheng family's backer is!"
The major didn't even bother to look at her. He waved his hand, and his men came over and took her away.
He quickly knelt down in front of Lu Zhenyu, "Are you Miss Lu?"
Lu Zhenyu, her face pale, nodded.
Thinking of the slap Zheng Yaowan was about to deliver, the major was glad he arrived in time.
He let out a long breath, helped her up, and whispered in her ear, "I was sent by Mr. Feng. I will personally escort you out in a little while."
Lu Zhenyu was taken aback. "Feng, Jin Heng?"
The major nodded. "Yes, sir."
As wave after wave of armed special forces poured into Zheng's house, the unassuming red flag lay quietly under the old locust tree across the road.
Finally seeing the beautiful figure walking out of the courtyard, Shen Jingsi immediately went to open the car door.
"If I were you, I wouldn't go down there at this moment."
Halfway through flipping the handle, Shen Jingsi looked at Feng Jinheng beside him.
The man leaned back with his legs crossed, and said slowly, "This is a matter between Zheng Yaozong and the Feng family. If you go out now and others see it, it won't do your Shen family or her any good."
Shen Jingsi countered, "If Bei Tingwan had come out of there today, would you have been able to tolerate it?"
He answered without hesitation, "Of course."
A bitter smile tugged at the corners of Shen Jingsi's lips. "So sure?"
"Because I know that from this moment on, she will belong to me forever."
Feng Jinheng looked at him and said, "Isn't this more valuable than a perfunctory hug and words of comfort?"
...
Shen Jingsi's silence does not mean that Feng Jinheng is necessarily right.
Being too calm and rational doesn't prove how strong a person is; it might just mean they haven't yet been caught up in the situation.
Or perhaps he hasn't fully realized how much he loves.
Watching the hand slowly withdraw from the doorknob, Feng Jinheng smiled with slight relief at his younger brother, who was five years his junior.
He picked up the walkie-talkie on the armrest box and said, "You did a good job. Group one, escort Miss Lu back to Qingshan Manor. Groups two and three, after finding Zheng Yaozong, take him directly to the military prison. There is no need to fear any force. No matter how things develop, the Feng family will back you up."
With a beep, the walkie-talkie crackled to life: "Group 1 received."
"Second group received."
"Group three received!"
After putting the walkie-talkie back, Feng Jinheng looked at Shen Jingsi, who was frowning and staring intently at the figure opposite him, and reached out to pat his shoulder.
"You played a very good game, but a beautiful opening is not enough. Be patient, and you can finish well."
Shen Jingsi remained silent, gazing at the girl ten meters away through the one-way glass window.
As the major and his men escorted Lu Zhenyu to the Mercedes, she stopped before getting into the car.
A moment later, without warning, he looked up at the red flag parked opposite him.
The warm breeze of early spring carried a slight chill, and the strands of hair blowing in front of her eyes did not obscure the girl's fixed gaze.
Two gazes met across the distance. Lu Zhenyu couldn't actually see anything, but she still curved her lips into a smile.
Shen Jingsi realized that she was saying "Thank you" to the person sitting in the car.
-
The news that Zheng Yaozong had been taken away by a company of special forces from the Feng family and imprisoned in the military region prison spread throughout the capital within half a day.
He injured male members of the Feng family's branch in Shenyang, raped someone's fiancée, and drugged Feng Manman with aphrodisiacs at Night Paradise. Would Commander Feng, who holds an army, let him off the hook?
Everyone admired this guy immensely.
Isn't he just a complete idiot?
Even the King of Hell doesn't want to take you, yet you stubbornly seek death.
"I love soaking my feet, it makes my skin feel so good. Drinking while soaking my feet makes every day happy and blissful~"
Feng Manman was overjoyed. After receiving the news, she brought wine to the manor to find Lu Zhenyu at 10 p.m.
When he got excited, he patted Xiao Meng's thigh as she sat next to him being fed by Lu Zhenyu.
"Mengbao! I didn't know you were such a loyal friend. I've decided to become sworn sisters with you!"
"Whoa whoa!"
Feng Manman blinked at Lu Zhenyu, "What did she say?"
Lu Zhenyu acted as translator. "She said, 'You have to keep your word.'"
"Of course!" She patted Xiaomeng's arm again. "A promise is a promise. We'll get it done as soon as you're better!"
"Ooh ooh ooh..." The girl with her face bandaged hugged her arms and fell into Lu Zhenyu's arms.
"Now I know, you mean you're too impatient, you can't wait to get better tomorrow, right?"
Lu Zhenyu laughed helplessly and rubbed the woman's arm, saying, "She said you hit her so hard it made her muscles go numb."
"..."
Feng Manman scratched her head awkwardly, chuckled twice, lay back down, put her hands behind her head, and crossed her legs.
"But to be honest, Xiaomeng, you're really lucky. If my older brother hadn't arrived with his team, you would have lost your life at the Zheng family's hands."
"Hmm?" Xiao Meng turned her head and looked around, her small eyes full of doubt, but unfortunately no one could see it.
"Waaaaah?"
"What are you talking about this time?"
"You're right, it's all thanks to Brother Feng."
Seeing Xiaomeng tilting her head in confusion, Lu Zhenyu blew on the lukewarm soup and held it to her lips, smiling as she said, "Drink the soup obediently."
Lu Zhenyu knew what Xiaomeng didn't understand, but she didn't want everyone, including Shen Jingsi, to know that she had single-handedly stormed the Zheng family to save people today.
"Oh! It's truly a blessing from heaven! If I had known that my small sacrifice could get that beast Zheng Yaozong locked up, I would have sacrificed myself sooner, so that you, Zhenzhen, wouldn't have had to..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Zhenyu slapped him, her expression quite serious. "What nonsense are you spouting? Spit it out!"
Feng Manman grinned and chuckled, then turned around and cupped her face to look at Lu Zhenyu.
“Zhenzhen, does that mean you and Zheng Yaozong can get a divorce? Or should I talk to my dad and have him take the divorce papers to jail and beat him until he agrees to sign them?”
Lu Zhenyu was amused, "You're really dreaming."
"That's right!" Feng Manman was so happy she felt like she was on top of the world.
But Lu Zhenyu's face slowly darkened.
She knew that as long as Old Master Zheng was still alive, the Zheng family would not allow this only son to be uprooted.
Because behind them are the current powerful figures in Beijing, just like back then when Old Master Shen personally pushed his adopted son onto that throne—it's the same thing.
Moreover, for her now, whether or not to get a divorce is no longer important.
…
"Ah! Ahhh!"
In the bedroom on the second floor of the Duan family home, the woman was smashing things like a madwoman, and the servants were shrinking back and hiding behind the door.
Ever since she heard that Zheng Yaozong had been captured by the Feng family's army, Duan Xi'er's defenses had been constantly breached.
If the servant, Xiao Cui, said a few words that were not well-received, Duan Xi'er would pick up a feather duster and beat and twist her.
Xiao Cui felt the pain but dared not shed a tear. He endured it until late at night, then hid in a corner of the courtyard and made a phone call.
"Butler Li, I really can't stand this house anymore. Please take me back."
"Miss Xi'er is beautiful, kind-hearted, and considerate to her subordinates. Did you do something wrong?"
Xiao Cui wiped away her tears, and when she touched the bruise under her sleeve, she was in so much pain that she gasped for breath.
Whether she's feigning kindness or truly ruthless, who knows better than her now?
Looking back on my past self, I was blind to talent and foolishly sided with outsiders to bully my own family. I regret it so much now.
"Please, have mercy on me and save me, for I've been working for you since I was fifteen!"
There was a long silence on the other end, then a sigh came out, "Alright, I'll talk to Madam about it another time."
Xiao Cui's tense nerves tightened again!
"I can't tell Madam! If Miss Xi'er finds out, she'll definitely beat me to death!"
beat?
The housekeeper never expected things to be so serious.
Is this Miss Xi'er really like that in private?
The butler hesitated, "Then let me think about it some more, just a little more."
