Chapter 100 I Believe in Him
"Are you really the founder of the Precious Love Foundation?"
"Of course, if you don't believe me, I'll give you the official internal network password, you can check it."
The scarred man lowered his brows, his focused gaze fixed on Lu Zhenyu's face, as if trying to see through her heart.
Lu Zhenyu smiled gently at him, her eyes peaceful. Her pregnant face and the way she held her pregnant belly added to her kind and loving appearance.
The two men stared at each other for a moment, then the scarred man holstered his gun and extended his hand. "Deal."
She let out a soft breath, and this time Lu Zhenyu's smile was genuine.
Of course, her earlier composure was all an act.
But now it's real. He reached out and shook hands. "Deal."
…
Beijing Municipal Police Bureau.
On the monitor, a tall, slender man was being held in a reclining chair. His white shirt, which he hadn't changed overnight, was noticeably wrinkled. He propped his head up with his hand and leaned back lazily with his long legs crossed.
The deputy director walked in, glanced at the person in the one-way mirror, and asked, "How's it going? Any progress?"
The recorder shook his head. "I asked them all night, and they said all sorts of useless things, but nothing useful. They were also very clear-headed. I've already driven away three groups of people. They're quite difficult to deal with."
The person sitting inside is named Shen Jingsi; it would be a miracle if he were easy to deal with.
The deputy director frowned as he glanced at the time; there were still two hours until the release time.
This won't do. The instructions from above are clear: we must dig the contents out of the person's mouth.
Fearing he wouldn't be able to explain himself, the deputy director, under immense pressure to completely offend this rising star in Beijing's political circles, gritted his teeth and went inside.
"Mr. Shen, I'm sorry you had to go through this whole night."
Shen Jingsi, who hadn't slept all night, had dark circles under his eyes and stubble growing around his mouth.
He leaned there with a slightly lazy air, tracing circles on his temples with his fingertips, without even lifting his eyelids.
"I don't feel wronged. This is the first time I've ever been to the police station since I was a child. It's quite interesting. I'll just consider it an opportunity to broaden my horizons."
Without further ado, the deputy director said, "We received a report from the Duan family that you are suspected of leading or participating in the rape case of Miss Duan Xi'er."
"Why don't you investigate it yourselves? Why are you asking me?" Shen Jingsi raised his eyes, his cold, smiling gaze shooting out at him. "Can't find any evidence, so you're trying to force a confession out of me?"
"..."
The deputy director hesitated, swallowing hard, before a police officer next to him handed him a tissue.
After spending the night with him, Chen Jingsi's patience ran out. His fingertips slowly and deliberately caressed the outer ring of the handcuffs, a testament to his last remaining patience.
"Don't blame me for not warning you, let me go in ten minutes. My wife is pregnant and waiting for me at home. I haven't come home all night, and if something happens to her because she's worried about me..."
He drew out his words, his thin lips curling into a cold smile. He pointed sharply at the people in front of the interrogation table, his piercing eyes flashing with a deadly intent that could kill with a single blow, intimidating them from the inside out.
"The person behind you can't protect you."
The deputy director's expression froze.
Just as he was about to speak, the iron door to the interrogation room was kicked open with a bang!
The mayor rushed in without even having time to put on his coat.
Shen Jingsi glanced at the man and waved his hand, "Hey, Vice Mayor Wang, you've come to chat with me too?"
The mayor's already terrified gaze fell on the handcuffs on the other person's wrists, and his face turned pale. He dragged his numb legs and rushed over.
With trembling hands, he unlocked the handcuffs, bent down to help Shen Jingsi up, and bowed repeatedly to apologize.
"I'm so sorry, Vice Chairman Shen. I was away on a business trip yesterday, and these bastards acted on their own without informing me. If I had known they were after you, I would have shot them first."
He stretched his wrists and stood up, then stomped his numb legs. "Enough with the nonsense, you can jump now."
The deputy mayor felt the entire inspection office tremble three times, and, covered in sweat, followed Chen Jingsi all the way, apologizing profusely.
"Rest assured, once I have investigated this matter thoroughly, I will definitely punish the relevant responsible persons severely."
The deputy director, walking behind, slowed down, feeling guilty.
If it weren't for his wife, Shen Jingsi would never have let them get through today.
He was respectfully escorted to the door by all the police officers in the bureau. While waiting for the elevator, he slowly rolled up his sleeves with his eyelids drooping.
"You know my rules. How to deal with people is up to you."
The mayor nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely punish them severely."
"Just severe punishment?" he suddenly raised his voice.
The mayor, regaining his composure, immediately changed his tune, "Investigate thoroughly! Investigate thoroughly and then punish severely."
Shen Jingsi sneered, glancing at the few people hiding in the back who didn't dare to raise their heads. "Fine, I'll wait for your result."
Wang Kai, who had been pacing back and forth outside the police station, rushed over as soon as the person came out.
Shen Jingsi glanced at him and started to unbutton his shirt as he walked.
"Get me a new one to change into. When you see my wife later, just say the company had a last-minute replacement..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Kai said, "Boss, something has happened to your wife."
Shen Jingsi, who was about to get on the bus, paused. "What did you say?"
Wang Kai, his face deathly pale, licked his lips. "Something has happened to Madam. Just half an hour ago, Wang Lin sent word that Madam... has been kidnapped."
…
After reaching an agreement with the five men, Lu Zhenyu, escorted by the scarred man, slowly walked out of the building.
Outside the abandoned building, military troops, armed police, and special police had already surrounded the area so tightly that not even a fly could get out.
From the sniper's perspective, the pregnant woman was the first to peek out from inside the door.
Upon hearing the command through the earpiece, all the guards ten meters away raised their weapons.
Seeing Lu Zhenyu make a pause gesture, Feng Jinzhou, who was standing at the front of the line, raised his right hand and clenched his fist in the air.
Everyone fell silent.
Lu Zhenyu and the scarred man hiding behind her slowly walked out.
Lu Zhenyu shouted, "Feng Jinzhou, tell all your men not to move!"
Feng Jinzhou glanced down at him and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Lu Zhenyu said, "I have promised them that I will be released and that they will leave safely without being pursued or investigated."
The police chief standing behind frowned and said to Feng Jinzhou through the walkie-talkie, "Major General, we can't release them. This group is involved in multiple major kidnapping cases. I must capture them alive and give the people an explanation."
Feng Jinzhou's subordinates warned him, "Director Zhang, don't act rashly. According to the intelligence brought out by the hostages, the kidnappers planted explosives around the area beforehand. If we provoke them, none of us will get out alive."
Feng Jinzhou frowned, then looked at the composed girl, "Are you sure you've reached an agreement that they won't hurt you?"
Lu Zhenyu nodded firmly.
A voice came from behind her, "Judging from their expressions, they don't seem to listen to you very much."
Lu Zhenyu was not surprised. "If everyone listens to me, then you should be worried about whether they have some ulterior motives."
The scarred man's eyes lit up.
That doesn't seem wrong.
Looking at the woman in front of him again, his admiration grew even stronger.
"I must say, you are indeed a very outstanding woman."
She added, "At least those I've seen."
Scarface had heard of the largest True Love Charity Foundation in the country, but he had no idea that it was founded by a woman.
In today's world, it's difficult for men like them to live with dignity, yet she, a woman, has accomplished such a great thing.
When he said "outstanding," he meant his heartfelt appreciation for the girl.
Lu Zhenyu smiled wryly, "Thank you, but you're not the first person to compliment me like this."
Who was the first one?
"My husband, the father of my children."
Why did I suddenly get a dog food (a slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)?
The scarred man raised an eyebrow. "He loves you very much?"
Lu Zhenyu smiled and said, "If he were here today, all these police officers who haven't left yet would have been shot dead by him."
Therefore, at this moment, Lu Zhenyu really wanted to go to Jing Si.
She could see that the group of police officers who were still blocking the way with guns showed no sign of backing down, which meant that the renowned Major General Feng was encountering resistance from other forces.
If she were Feng Manman at that moment, she would surely have defied all opposition and let the bandits go.
But she was Lu Zhenyu, and the only relationship she could be considered with this major general was that of Shen Jingsi's wife.
Feeling a kick in her belly, Lu Zhenyu looked down and gently patted it. "Don't be afraid, baby, Mommy's here. And trust your daddy, he'll definitely come to save us, don't be afraid."
Having lived a life of constant danger, witnessing this scene would inevitably move even the most hardened person.
The scarred man looked at the pregnant belly that the girl was tightly protecting, and asked, "You love your husband very much?"
“Of course,” Lu Zhenyu replied in a second.
The scarred man raised an eyebrow. "What if he can't deal with those bedbugs up ahead, and he can't save you either?"
Lu Zhenyu kept her eyes straight ahead and said, "No, I believe him."
