Chapter 61 Lu Zheng is saved
The next morning, Xia Qianqian finished washing up and stepped out of her room when she saw Peng Fei carrying steaming hot fried dough sticks and soy milk walking in from the courtyard.
As soon as Peng Fei saw her get up, he grinned and waved at her, calling out loudly, "Good morning, sister-in-law! I bought you soy milk and fried dough sticks, eat them while they're hot!"
A very attentive and eager attitude.
At this moment, Lu Zheng also returned from his morning exercise.
His forehead was slightly damp with sweat, and a few strands of hair were stuck to it, but this did not diminish his heroic spirit in the slightest. The sweat soaked his clothes, faintly outlining the lines of his strong muscles, which made people's imaginations run wild.
Xia Qianqian's gaze was immediately drawn to Lu Zheng, and she couldn't bear to look away.
The early birds in the bullet screen also quickly started spamming the comments.
[A great physique is a man's best dowry! Who could resist Lu Zheng like this? I'm going for it!]
[When will I finally get to eat the female lead? I'm a VIP member, what can't I see? Lu Zheng's physique is making me drool!]
[Family members, does anyone understand? This is incredibly sexually charged! Qianqian, hurry up and go for it! I've already imagined a million words!]
"These idiots," Xia Qianqian cursed inwardly, a new term she had learned from the comments section.
"Let's eat first, we still need to go to the Revolutionary Committee later." Xia Qianqian glanced at her own body, which even she found tempting, and suggested.
Yesterday, Lu Zheng did not reveal the purpose of his trip to Peng Fei. As soon as Peng Fei heard the words "Revolutionary Committee", his brows furrowed instantly, and the relaxed smile on his face disappeared without a trace.
"Brother Lu, even I, who wanders around the city every day, can't understand the current situation. You guys better stay away from those kinds of places! I heard that a big shot came down from above, and several leaders of the Revolutionary Committee were overthrown overnight!"
"What? How could this be?" Lu Zheng's expression changed slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He did not expect that the situation would change so drastically in just a few months since he had not returned to the provincial capital.
"So who's in charge of the Revolutionary Committee now?"
Peng Fei lowered his voice, his tone somewhat grave: "'Number 8' is still in the lead for now, but he didn't bring many people this time, and his foundation is unstable. To put it bluntly, it's all bark and no bite. Who knows who will be next?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Qianqian asked worriedly, "Then... are we still going?"
Lu Zheng said in a deep voice, "We still have to go. Now that Number 8 has taken a liking to us, it's a good opportunity to go and see what he's up to."
Peng Fei interjected, "Brother Lu is right! Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated!"
After discussing the matter, Peng Fei borrowed two bicycles. The three of them rode their bikes and soon arrived at the entrance of the Provincial Revolutionary Committee building.
Little did they know that something unexpected would happen as soon as they arrived!
"Seize him! You counter-revolutionary bastard, how dare you show your face in front of the Revolutionary Committee building!" A sharp shout came from inside the building, and several people rushed out, their target Lu Zheng.
Seeing that they were about to make a move, Lu Zheng's eyes sharpened. Instead of retreating, he advanced, and with quick reflexes, he snatched the weapon from one of the men's hands.
"Bang!"
Gunshots rang out suddenly!
"Are you trying to rebel?" a sinister voice shouted.
Lu Zheng looked up at the sound and saw an unfamiliar face with a distinctive mustache. He guessed that this was probably the "Number 8" that Qianqian had mentioned.
What surprised him even more was that Qin Yan actually followed behind "Number 8" and slowly walked out.
"Did you do this?!"
She never expected that Qin Yan would directly side with Number 8.
When Qin Yan saw Xia Qianqian yelling at him, he didn't throw a tantrum like a spoiled young master as he used to. Instead, he took a step back, acting as if he respected Number 8.
Lu Zheng ignored Qin Yan; his eyes were fixed on the gun in Number 8's hand. Although he was confident he could take the gun away, he was afraid of accidentally hurting Xia Qianqian.
After hesitating for two seconds, he said in a deep voice, "What did I do? Why are you shouting and killing me first thing in the morning?"
The man with the mustache, number 8, chuckled softly, "What did you do? Lu Zheng, isn't your identity the best evidence? You 'counter-revolutionary remnant,' daring to show your face here, aren't you trying to collude with your old subordinates to subvert the revolution?"
He suddenly raised his voice and roared behind him, "Men! Arrest this counter-revolutionary bastard! Take him back for a proper 'interrogation'!"
Before he could finish speaking, several burly men were about to pounce on him. Lu Zheng's eyes sharpened, and he was about to make a move when he saw Number 8 suddenly point his gun at Xia Qianqian.
Upon seeing this, Lu Zheng froze, even his breathing slowed. He could disarm these burly men, but he couldn't afford to gamble.
"Number 8, if you have any problems, come at me."
Seeing that he had given in, Number 8 gestured with his chin to his men: "Did you hear that? Handcuff him right now!"
Lu Zheng knew that Number 8 was using him to establish his authority, but for Xia Qianqian's safety, he forcibly suppressed his anger and said to Peng Fei, "Take good care of your sister-in-law for me. I'm going in to meet them. If I haven't come out in two days, tell the brothers it's time to move."
"Yes, Brother Lu!" Peng Fei nodded emphatically. "You can rest assured that your wife is with me!"
Seeing Lu Zheng surrender without resistance, Xia Qianqian was so anxious that tears were about to come out: "Lu Zheng, you did nothing wrong! Let's not get entangled with those people, let's go home! Let's go back to our village!"
Lu Zheng turned around. Seeing Xia Qianqian's worried expression, his previously tense lips gradually softened.
She gave a reassuring smile and said softly, "Qianqian, don't worry, I'll be fine. You go back with Peng Fei first and wait for my news."
[I hope the female lead can see this comment! Although Number 8 has seized power in the Revolutionary Committee, he hasn't found the committee's official seal yet. If the female lead can exchange the seal for it, Lu Zheng will definitely be able to get out safely!]
[This plot is driving me crazy! I just want to know, where exactly is the official seal? Why isn't it mentioned in the plot hints?]
As she watched these comments scroll by, Xia Qianqian's breath hitched, and she stared intently at the screen in front of her.
Finally, someone quickly typed out the location of the official seal.
[I know! The official seal was taken out by the Revolutionary Committee members, and during their escape, it somehow fell into the green belt next to the building.]
Xia Qianqian's eyes widened; the official seal was actually just a few meters away from her.
Qin Yan watched as Lu Zheng was taken away, a smile playing on his lips, before slowly walking towards Xia Qianqian.
Women are nothing but his playthings; how could they possibly be manipulated? Now, as long as he uses Lu Zheng to threaten Xia Qianqian, is he afraid she won't obey?
Qin Yan thought Xia Qianqian would rush up to him to please him, but to his surprise, Xia Qianqian suddenly raised her hand and pushed him away.
Qin Yan staggered a few steps, his face instantly turning so dark it could drip water: "Xia Qianqian, I'll see how long you can keep up your stubbornness. Sooner or later you'll come back begging me!"
Xia Qianqian ignored Qin Yan's threat and ran towards the place mentioned in the comments.
To everyone's surprise, the official seal was indeed found hidden in the bushes!
Xia Qianqian's heart was instantly filled with ecstasy; this time, Lu Zheng was finally saved.
