The wolfhound made its way out of the house.
Even a large yellow dog couldn't be restrained; it took off running as if to lead people to find Xu Manzhi. But as it ran, Zou Xiaozhou, who was following it, asked in confusion, "Brother Yan, why is the large yellow dog at the Gu family's place..."
Could it be that the Gu family kidnapped my sister-in-law?
Yan Lin's expression was dark and gloomy.
The scar on his cheek trembled, and it took him a long time to calm down before he said to Zou Xiaozhou, "Since you're here, why don't you come and visit? Da Huang has been trained very well by Man Zhi and won't lead the way blindly."
Zou Xiaozhou wanted to persuade Yan Lin.
The Gu family is a breath of fresh air.
They did not participate in any faction in Haicheng, whether it was the powerful Sun family or the faction backed by the Zhou family. Their children either joined the army or went to the cultural troupe, and were all insignificant figures.
There was even a actress named Gu Jiajia who acted in a movie.
Ambitious families would never allow their children to go out and show their faces in public...
Yan Lin snorted coldly.
He turned around, gave Zou Xiaozhou a cold stare, and said, "Shut up!"
"yes."
Yan Lin strode into the house.
Mrs. Gu exclaimed in surprise, "What brings the esteemed leader here? It's an honor to have the Gu family here. Do you wish to see my Yueyue? This way, please—"
Since Jiang Pengyue entered the Gu family, she has entertained more distinguished guests than she used to in a year.
Yan Linkun's face was grim.
I have to say, it's kind of scary.
Especially since he remained silent, exuding an imposing aura without anger, and the murderous intent in his eyes seemed to freeze people to death, she dared not make a sound and led Yan Lin into the backyard.
Upon entering, Yan Lin saw Jiang Pengyue sitting blankly in a chair.
"Have you seen her?" Yan Lin asked coldly.
Jiang Pengyue slowly stood up.
Everything seemed to be within her expectations. She didn't deny it and nodded directly, saying, "Yes, Xiang Qun drove her here. My sister and I chatted for a while, and then she left by herself. She even said she wanted to go with you to get your marriage certificate. Hehe, she's so silly. She doesn't even know that military marriages require a political background check."
Whoosh whoosh.
A blast of cold air hit me.
Mrs. Gu was so frightened that her legs trembled.
She glanced sideways at Jiang Pengyue, and seeing that she was calm and fearless, she muttered to herself and exclaimed, "Yes, yes, Manzhi came and went, and I didn't even get to serve her some fresh tea."
Yan Lin glanced at the two of them.
He took two steps closer, approaching Jiang Pengyue, exuding a chilling aura. The oppressive force in his eyes made her blink involuntarily.
Jiang Pengyue's heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Yes, Zhizhi misunderstood me. It's not that Mom and Dad don't love her, it's just that she only stayed home for a short time, and then the family suffered a series of misfortunes. I even apologized to her, but she just wouldn't believe me..."
"Yeah?"
Yan Lin snorted coldly.
He slammed his hand on the stone table.
Then, without waiting for Jiang Pengyue's response, he took a step back, his gaze like that of a demon, and said coldly, "You better not be lying, otherwise... hehe, even if I, Yan Lin, take off this military uniform, I will... kill Buddha if I encounter him."
Destroy demons when they appear!
Snap.
As Yan Lin raised his leg, the stone table instantly shattered, revealing a crack.
"Oh--"
Mrs. Gu covered her mouth, her face turning ashen with fright.
She retreated step by step, her heart pounding with fear, and said, "I...we really didn't lie. Manzhi came and went. She really isn't at our house. What happened?"
Yes, my sister-in-law has gone missing.
Zou Xiaozhou had just spoken when Yan Lin stopped him.
"Walk."
Yan Lin strode towards the door.
The big yellow dog at the door kept barking at Jiang Pengyue, which frightened Mrs. Gu so much that she had to dodge away.
Only after Yan Lin and Zou Xiaozhou left did Jiang Pengyue sway, large beads of sweat dripping from her forehead. She grabbed a handkerchief to wipe them away before saying in a trembling voice, "Alright, stop yelling. They're gone."
Mrs. Gu, Xu Xiaofeng, was still in shock.
As a woman who managed the household, she had hardly seen much of the world. The fact that she didn't scream when she saw Yan Lin's unusually ugly face was a testament to her years of experience managing the inner workings of the household.
Thinking of her daughter's repeated misfortunes and the old sayings of the Jiang family patriarch, she knew that Xu Manzhi was a jinx, bringing destruction wherever she went.
But the flames of war must not spread to the Gu family.
The dead man wasn't afraid, but she was.
Xu Xiaofeng said indirectly, "What do you know? Girls should always be more reserved. If my Jiajia is so shameless, she hasn't even gotten married yet and she's already hooking up with someone else's child. I'll break her legs and make sure she never comes home again. She's so embarrassing."
Her family repeatedly urged her to keep quiet.
When Yan Lin arrived, she was nearly scared out of her wits. He thought that if he wanted her to shut up, he might as well kill her.
"you--"
Jiang Pengyue was furious.
She only maintained a facade of politeness with the Gu family.
If it weren't for her relationship with Zhou Xiangqun, let alone Xu Xiaofeng, even Gu Jiajia, who is most adept at scheming, would have kicked her out long ago.
But the joyous day is fast approaching.
She was getting married in a few days and was no longer willing to endure this humiliation.
