Chapter 157 Meng Fanglu is arrested
Both men had guns in their hands.
And the black muzzle of the gun was pointing right at him!
Meng Fanglu's eyes rolled around in panic.
But after a moment, he calmed down and questioned Xiao Yucheng firmly: "General Xiao, what do you mean by this? You actually pointed a gun at your innocent subordinates! Your behavior is a serious violation of military law. I have the right to report you to my superiors!"
"You can go ahead and do it."
Xiao Yucheng stood up, not afraid at all: "It is indeed against military law to point a gun at a subordinate, but..."
Xiao Yucheng changed the subject: "For a spy, is that still illegal?"
Meng Fanglu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
My calves went weak and I almost couldn't stand.
He forced himself to remain calm and said, "General Xiao, slandering a loyal subordinate without any evidence, is this what a wise leader would do?"
"Stop pretending!"
Zou Chi led his men into the hall and threw a stack of papers in Meng Fanglu's face. "What else can I say about the evidence you want?"
Meng Fanglu picked up the paper.
Looking at the signature written in black and white on the paper, Meng Fanglu's face changed.
Veins suddenly bulged, and he frantically tried to defend himself, refusing to admit it even if beaten to death: "General Xiao, you can't simply declare me a spy based on the confession of a traitor! This is slander! Slander!!"
Xiao Yucheng licked his back teeth irritably: "Zou Chi, is the guy in the cell dead or alive now?"
"That guy was quite the thief, rigged up with a self-destruct device, but before he could even explode, our men dug the chip bomb embedded in the back of his neck, skin and flesh intact. Such bad luck!"
Zou Chi took advantage of Meng Fanglu's inattention and used brute force to suppress him. He handcuffed Meng Fanglu's hands with a swift movement and said, "Whether it is slander or not, wait until you two meet and tell us slowly."
Meng Fanglu still refused to give up and struggled to break free. "I, Meng Fanglu, swear on my life that when I get out, I will report your illegal behavior to my superiors! Even if you are a general, you will be held accountable!"
"Stop it, your acting is so bad I can't fucking stand it anymore." Zou Chi said with disgust.
The evidence is all there in black and white, yet Meng Fanglu is still trying to cover up his mistake. Isn't he just fooling a fool?
suddenly.
A slender figure suddenly appeared on the stage.
Meng Ziling ran up with a wronged look on her face, wanting to throw herself into Meng Fanglu's arms to complain, but she was stunned when she saw the scene in front of her.
Why were Dad’s hands handcuffed like criminals?
Her frail little body trembled, and fear filled her big, bright eyes: "Dad, why are you..."
Tears welled up in her beautiful eyes, which were always full of pride, as if they would burst at any second. The following words seemed to be stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say them.
Meng Fanglu's body stiffened when he heard the voice.
He didn't know where he found the strength, but he suddenly threw off Zou Chi's shackles and hurried over to Meng Ziling to explain, "Lingling, Daddy is role-playing with the uncles! This time they're playing the good guys, and Daddy is the bad guy, so the uncles handcuffed Daddy's hands."
"Really...really?"
Meng Ziling didn't quite believe it, "Why does Dad want to play a bad guy?"
She took small steps to Meng Fanglu's front, and pulled hard on his wrists, trying to unlock the man's cold shackles.
But she couldn't untie it, and tears streamed down her face in anxiety: "Dad, can you please stop playing the villain? Let's tell uncle we don't want to play anymore and go home, okay?"
At this moment, seeing his daughter crying pitifully, Meng Fanglu felt extremely regretful.
When the enemy country's traitor found him, he was at the lowest point in his career and his small official position was in jeopardy. He was blinded by power and did the shameful act of betraying his country!
Meng Fanglu wiped Meng Ziling's tears with a tearful face and coaxed her softly, "Lingling, Daddy has to go back to work. Go outside and find the housekeeper to take you home."
Meng Ziling sobbed and sobbed: "Dad... Dad... When will you... come home...?"
Meng Fanglu's voice choked with sobs: "I'll go home after I finish my work."
Although he said this, Meng Fanglu knew in his heart that the possibility of him being released safely after being arrested this time was almost zero.
Zou Chi's voice urged from the audience, "Colonel Meng, are you alright? There's still a lot of work waiting for you to do when you get back."
Zou Chi disliked Meng Fanglu.
But considering that Meng Ziling was present, Zou Chi finally did not lift the last layer of fig leaf of Meng Fanglu in public, thus preserving his tall image as a father in his daughter's heart.
"How about it, Dad didn't lie to you, right?"
Meng Fanglu pinched Meng Ziling's face reluctantly and said, "Go back quickly."
"Well, okay, then Daddy has to come back early."
Meng Ziling completely believed what Meng Fanglu said, waved goodbye to him and left.
The moment when Meng Ziling's figure completely disappeared.
Meng Fanglu seemed to have lost all his strength. In an instant he collapsed to the ground, holding his head weakly.
-
On the way back.
Little Taozhi didn't say anything the whole time, her face was serious and stern, and she looked like she had a lot on her mind.
Xiao Yucheng patted her little head: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Daddy, don't worry. Zhizhi is not feeling unwell anywhere."
Little Taozhi shook his little head and suddenly asked, "Dad, why did Uncle Zou arrest classmate Meng Ziling's dad? Did Uncle Meng do something bad?"
Xiao Yucheng hadn't been back for a long time, and Xiao Taozhi was very worried. She came to the stage to find Xiao Yucheng and witnessed everything that had just happened.
"He made an unforgivable mistake."
Little Taozhi tilted his head and asked, "What mistake? Will he be locked up?"
"Of course he's locked up."
Collaboration with the enemy and treason deserves death by a thousand cuts!
"It was raining that day, and he colluded with the security guard and deliberately didn't let you in, leaving you outside in the rain for a long time. Don't you hate him?"
Although Xiao Yucheng is usually carefree, he holds grudges very well.
When Zou Chi was a child, he stole a piece of chocolate from him. He kept this incident in mind for a whole year, and then finally found an opportunity when no one was around, dragged Zou Chi to a corner and beat him up.
Last time he punished the security guard, he was annoyed that he couldn't vent his anger on Meng Fanglu, but this guy directly accused him of treason, which saved him the trouble of taking action himself.
Little Taozhi blinked her bright eyes and said in a childish voice, "But Daddy, didn't you stop Zhizhi from going in at that time?"
Xiao Yucheng's eyelids twitched.
It took a lot of effort to coax little Bean Sprout into submission. He must have been crazy to bring up this matter!
Xiao Yucheng immediately changed the subject: "But Meng Ziling wanted to steal your leading lady spot today. Because of her, your performance today almost failed!"
Speaking of this, Xiao Yucheng became even angrier.
This Meng father and daughter are not good people!
Sorry (╥﹏╥) I'm late~
