Chapter 725: Heart Beating Like a Drum
Hearing that Zheng Chuan was unhappy, Zhang Tingfang quickly admitted her mistake, "Chuan'er, Mom was confused before, but it's no use saying this now... What should I do now?"
Zheng Chuan was silent for a while, then said coldly, "Don't worry about anything now. Just buy a ticket and go home. If possible, find a place to hide for a while."
Hearing this, Zhang Tingfang frowned, somewhat reluctant.
"We just got back, and your brother has been arrested. I'm worried about him... You have to find a way to rescue him!"
Zheng Chuan sneered, "What can I do now?! Who told you to provoke the Xiao family?! Quickly pack up your things and go hide, otherwise you might all end up in jail later! I have something else to do here, so I won't talk to you for now."
"Chuan'er...wait..."
The answer she got was a busy tone after the call was hung up.
Zhao Jing, who was standing by, quickly asked, "Mom, what did my second brother say?"
Zhang Tingfang put down her phone and gritted her teeth, "He told us to leave Ming'er alone and leave quickly to find a place to hide."
Hearing this, Zhao Jing's expression instantly became panic. Zheng Ming was her heaven. If she couldn't rescue Zheng Ming, how would she live in the future? !
Thinking about the suppression my mother-in-law has inflicted on me over the years, I don’t know how much grievance I will have to endure if I live with her in the future.
"Mom, we can't just ignore Zheng Ming like this, he's your son too!"
Zhang Tingfang glanced at her irritably and said coldly, "When did I say I didn't care about him?! If you can't help, just shut up! Don't say nonsense here and make me upset!"
Meeting her disgusted gaze, Zhao Jing shrank back and dared not speak anymore.
After a while, Zhang Tingfang's eyes suddenly became extremely fierce.
"Since the Xiao family won't let Ming'er go, I'm going to kill Xiao Muzhen!"
Zhao Jing was frightened by the cruelty in her eyes and couldn't help shaking a few times.
"Mom, what do you want to do?!"
Zhang Tingfang leaned close to her ear and whispered something. After hearing it, Zhao Jing's face turned pale and her eyes were full of fear and terror.
“No…no…I don’t dare…”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped by Zhang Tingfang.
"Don't you dare do it to me?! Don't you want to save your man?!"
"I don't……"
"If you don't have any, then do as I say. If you can't do it, I'll let you divorce me tomorrow!"
Zhao Jing quickly shook her head, "No!"
"Hurry up! Don't dawdle!"
Under Zhang Tingfang's intimidation, Zhao Jing had no choice but to leave the hotel.
When she came back with her shopping, she still looked hesitant.
"Mom, this is really too dangerous... You saw it before, that woman is very powerful, we might not get any benefits..."
Zhang Tingfang gave her a cold look and said, "Don't force me to beat you!"
Zhao Jing gritted her teeth and said nothing more. After all, Zhang Tingfang would really beat her.
Zhang Tingfang took out the kitchen knife that Zhao Jing had bought and looked at it, her eyes full of viciousness.
As time went by, more and more people started cursing the Zheng family online. Some people even dug up information about how the Zheng family, after becoming rich, acted arrogantly in the village and had various conflicts with their neighbors. Suddenly, those netizens became even more disgusted with the Zheng family, and the Zheng family was soon turned upside down.
The next morning, as soon as Xiao Muzhen arrived at the company, he was called to the office by Xiao Zhuan.
"Zhenzhen, because of what happened yesterday, Xiao's shares have increased significantly today. This is all thanks to you!"
Looking at Xiao Zhuan's excited expression, Xiao Muzhen smiled and said, "It's not because of me. If the Zheng family hadn't wanted to do this, I wouldn't have found the opportunity."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhuan's joy faded a little, and he whispered, "The Zheng family was scolded so badly this time. I guess Zhang Tingfang won't let it go. She might even try to retaliate against you. You must be careful."
Xiao Muzhen nodded, "Yeah, I know."
Moreover, she was not afraid of Zhang Tingfang coming, but was afraid that she would not come.
"Okay, go to work."
Looking at Xiao Muzhen's expression, it seemed that she didn't take what he said to heart at all. Xiao Zhuan decided to find two bodyguards to follow her.
The day passed quickly, and after get off work in the evening, Xiao Muzhen packed up and left.
It's time to get off work, and the entire Huo's entrance is full of people.
As Xiao Muzhen walked out of the Huo family, a man suddenly rushed out from the side and chopped at her with a kitchen knife.
She narrowed her eyes and was about to reach out to block it when an anxious voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
"careful!"
The next second, Xiao Muzhen was hit hard and fell to the side.
By the time she reacted, several screams were heard nearby.
"Ah! Murder!"
"Help!"
She finally managed to stand firm and looked at the figure blocking her way with displeasure.
At this time, Huo Yunting had already snatched the kitchen knife from Zhang Tingfang's hand and kicked her to the ground.
Zhang Tingfang screamed like a pig being slaughtered, "Ah! Zhao Jing! Are you blind?! Hurry up and help me up!"
Zhao Jing, who was standing by, was so frightened by the wound on Huo Yunting's arm and the cold aura emanating from him that her legs went limp. She had no time to help her.
Seeing Zhao Jing standing there in a daze without moving, Zhang Tingfang was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She was going to teach this idiot a lesson when she got back!
"Zhao Jing! Are you deaf?!"
However, the moment she finished speaking, Zhao Jing not only did not come over to help her, but suddenly turned around and ran away.
Seeing her back, Zhang Tingfang's eyes flashed with disbelief, and then she shouted angrily: "You idiot! Come back here!"
Hearing her voice, Zhao Jing not only did not stop, but ran even faster.
Zhang Tingfang was so angry that her face turned blue, but she was in so much pain that she couldn't get up. She could only watch Zhao Jing disappear from her sight.
Seeing that there was no danger, Huo Yunting turned and looked at Xiao Muzhen.
"Are you okay?"
Xiao Muzhen frowned and was about to speak when she saw the bleeding wound on his arm.
"You're hurt!"
"It's okay, just a minor injury."
Xiao Muzhen ignored him and said in a deep voice: "I'll take you to the hospital for treatment."
"No, I'll just bandage it up when I get back."
As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Muzhen said coldly: "No, let's go to the hospital."
After saying that, regardless of whether Huo Yunting agreed or not, she simply grabbed his hand and walked to the side of the road.
Looking down and seeing her hand holding his wrist, Huo Yunting's dark eyes darkened a little.
When Zhang Tingfang saw the two men leave, she suddenly felt a sense of joy as if she had survived a disaster. After all, the man was too oppressive, and the way he looked at her just now was as if he was looking at a dead person, which made her heart beat faster involuntarily.
She got up and was about to leave when Xiao's security surrounded her and took her directly to the police station.
