Chapter 108 A slap in the face
Liu Lan's expression froze for a moment, her eyes flickering and she dared not look directly into Meng Zhiyi's eyes.
Seeing this, Yang Yong realized that Yang Shaokang's plan might have failed.
He pulled Liu Lan back and said with a smile: "Sorry, sorry, maybe we made a mistake."
Meng Zhizhou glanced at him coldly and said in a sullen tone, "Boss Yang, you can't just say sorry and let go of the rumor about my sister."
Yang Yonghun's body froze, and there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes as he looked at Meng Zhizhou.
They dared to act arrogantly in Wangyue Township, but not in front of Meng Zhizhou.
He knows more or less who he can offend and who he cannot.
But Liu Lan is different.
She was just an ordinary village woman who had never seen the world and had no idea of the immensity of the world.
"We've already said we're sorry, Mr. Meng, you won't continue to blame us, right?"
"Besides, Meng Zhiyi grew up eating the food of the Yang family. If it weren't for us, she would have become food for the wolves in the mountains."
"It was just a misunderstanding, isn't it?"
"Besides, my son did say last night that he came here because Miss Meng wanted to see him."
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire corridor fell eerily quiet.
The township leaders realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly had Liu Lan dragged to the back.
"Don't be angry, Mr. Meng. She is just ignorant and outspoken, but she doesn't have bad intentions," someone said tactfully.
Meng Zhizhou didn't say anything, but the air pressure around him was terribly low.
Meng Zhiyi leaned against Shen Que, smiling: "How long are you going to block my door? Or, come in and check if there is anyone there?"
Hearing this, Liu Lan pushed away the person who was holding her and squeezed straight in.
Looking at her posture, it seemed as if she had to conjure someone out if no one was in the room.
However, Liu Lan searched the room and did not find Yang Shaokang.
"Where has this brat gone? Didn't he say he was coming to look for someone?" She walked out, swearing.
But when Liu Lan passed by Meng Zhiyi, she suddenly said, "Ah...I seemed to hear something falling into the water last night. Do you think he fell in by accident?"
"What did you say?" Liu Lan stopped suddenly.
Meng Zhiyi: "Last night, there was a sound of someone falling into the water. But I was so sleepy at the time that I thought it was a dream."
After saying that, Liu Lan's face suddenly changed, and she looked at Yang Yong in panic: "Dad, find someone to pick him up!"
At this time, Meng Zhiyi's cold voice came from behind: "It's too late to go and pick it up now."
Liu Lan and Yang Yong felt a pang in their hearts.
The two did not dare to doubt, because Yang Shaokang had to pass by the small fish pond to come here.
Moreover, the lighting is poor at night, so there is a high possibility of falling in.
Thinking of this, the two of them walked faster.
After a while, Yang Yong and Liu Lan were heard shouting at the employees to go into the water and rescue the person.
Meng Zhiyi came to the window and looked down, with a chill in his eyes.
Meng Zhizhou sent away the township leaders and went into the house.
"What's going on?" he asked Shen Que.
Shen Que: "Yesterday at midnight, Yang Shaokang sneaked in and was discovered by us. They wanted to get close to the Meng family, so they set their sights on Yiyi."
After hearing this, Meng Zhizhou's face darkened and he gritted his teeth and said, "Well, this family is really greedy! When Zhiyi returned, he had already given them 5 million as a thank you, but now they still have such vicious thoughts."
"Not only that, they also threatened me privately, asking me to give them one million every year, otherwise they would keep harassing me." Meng Zhiyi's voice came.
Shen Que and Meng Zhizhou both looked gloomy.
Meng Zhizhou asked: "So, where is Yang Shaokang?"
Shen Que: "He was taken away by my people."
"Okay, I'll meet this brave man later when I have time."
Meng Zhizhou finished speaking, then thought of something and looked at Shen Que with a sharp look.
"What about you? Why are you in Zhiyi's room?"
Shen Que answered calmly: "Because there is no vacant room."
Meng Zhizhou wanted to say something, but when he remembered that Shen Que was there last night and that was why Yang Shaokang didn't succeed, he couldn't bring himself to curse.
Finally, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Although you are engaged, you'd better restrain yourself."
Shen Que: "That's natural."
"I'm going to go out first. You guys pack up and go downstairs to eat."
After Meng Zhizhou finished speaking, he turned around and left the room.
As soon as he left, Meng Zhiyi burst out laughing.
[People who don’t know him would think he cares a lot about me, his sister. ]
[It sounds like that, but if something really happens, I'm sure they will just tell the public that I don't exist.]
[Compared to the Meng family's reputation, Meng Zhiyi is the dispensable one. ]
Shen Que's brows sank slightly, and there was an indescribable emotion in his eyes when he looked at Meng Zhiyi.
It's pity, but also heartache.
Not long after, Meng Zhiyi and Shen Que came downstairs and saw that the area around the small fish pond looked like a pot that had exploded.
Liu Lan screamed at the top of her lungs, directing the people underwater.
Yang Yong looked at the pond with a serious face, his expression unclear.
Feeling someone's eyes on him, Yang Yong turned around and looked over.
When their eyes met, Yang Yong clearly saw the mockery in her eyes.
But when he looked again, there was nothing but indifference in Meng Zhiyi's eyes.
The rescue operation lasted from morning to afternoon.
The water in the fish pond has been almost drained, and the mud at the bottom of the pond has been exposed.
A dozen people searched back and forth in the mud several times but found nothing.
At this point, Yang Yong and Liu Lan realized that they had been tricked by Meng Zhiyi.
In the evening.
Meng Zhizhou and the township leaders went out for an inspection, while Shen Que handled work in the room.
Meng Zhiyi had nothing to do, so he went to the small orchard at the back alone.
Liu Lan and Yang Yong, who had been waiting for this opportunity for a whole day, immediately chased after him.
In the orchard, Meng Zhiyi stood under the shade of a tree with a smile on her face, staring straight at the two people walking towards her.
"How dare you play tricks on us, you little bastard!"
Liu Lan was swearing and was about to raise her hand to hit her in the face.
Meng Zhiyi raised his hand, grabbed the hand that was waving towards his face, and then slapped it back with his backhand.
The crisp sound of the slap was particularly loud in the woods.
Liu Lan stood there in a daze, unable to believe that the once timid little girl would one day resist and hit her.
"You dare to hit me? How dare you hit me?" Liu Lan muttered a few words, then glared at Meng Zhiyi fiercely and rushed forward with bared teeth and claws: "I will beat you to death, you little bastard!"
Meng Zhiyi had a cold look in his eyes, and when Liu Lan rushed over, he slapped her again.
This time the force was much greater and Liu Lan lost her balance and fell to the ground.
After being slapped twice in a row, Liu Lan immediately sat on the ground and rolled over, howling.
"Old Yang, are you dead? I was bullied like this, and you just stood there and did nothing?"
Yang Yong recovered from his shock, and then rushed forward with a stick in his hand with a fierce look on his face: "I think you have been back to the Meng family for too long, and you have forgotten what it feels like to be hit by a stick!"
