Chapter 99 Divine Soldiers Descend from the Sky
Shen Zhuoyi stared blankly at Mei Ling, who had fallen from the sky, holding a brick and looking fierce.
What are you doing here?
Mei Ling ignored him, holding a brick in her hand to block his way, and said fiercely to the thugs.
"He's under my protection, so if you know what's good for you, get out of here!"
The dozen or so young men opposite them looked at each other, then burst into laughter.
"How dare a little girl, whose arm isn't even as thick as my calf, speak so arrogantly?"
"Yeah, are you an adult? Or should your older brother check how you're developing?"
"Old Six is a good-for-nothing. He got knocked out by such a little chick. He shouldn't be following us anymore."
"Little sister, get out of the way. Once you've dealt with this brat, I'll play with you again."
Faced with the blatant harassment and insults from a group of young people, Mei Ling's lips trembled and her hand holding the brick shook incessantly.
She rushed out to save Shen Zhuoyi without hesitation when she saw him being beaten.
But now, for the first time in her life, she was facing so many thugs. The courage that had arisen from her anger earlier vanished, leaving only fear.
Even though she was terrified, she didn't want to see Shen Zhuoyi beaten to death by this group of thugs.
She braced herself and stood in front of Shen Zhuoyi, her voice trembling as she said, "Don't be so arrogant. I've already called the police, and they'll be here soon. None of you will get away."
"You brat! You dare call the police! Brothers, beat her up too!"
Enraged, the group rushed forward with sticks, indiscriminately smashing and damaging Mei Ling and Shen Zhuoyi.
Without a second thought, Mei Ling turned around and threw herself onto Lao Er, using her body to cover the wounded Lao Er.
The second brother stared in disbelief, stunned for a moment before shielding the person beneath him.
"Shen Zhuoyi, your injuries are more serious than mine. Let me protect you!" Mei Ling struggled desperately, trying to flip herself onto the second brother's body.
How could the second son let a woman protect him? Even though he was bleeding from his head and seemed to have multiple broken bones, he would not hide behind a woman.
His hands pressed down on Mei Ling tightly, and his consciousness gradually blurred. Just as he was about to fall into a coma, he heard a familiar voice calling his name.
"Second brother, hang in there. I'm coming!"
The second brother turned around when he heard the noise, and Lu Mingzheng and Yu Jian charged over like two fierce tigers, instantly beating the thugs to a pulp.
Lu Mingzheng rushed over anxiously and helped the swaying second son.
"How about it?"
"Uncle Lu, I'm sorry, I've embarrassed you..." The second brother fainted after saying only a few words.
Lu Mingzheng grabbed his second son's arm, hoisted him onto his back, and ran towards the hospital.
Yu Jian also helped up Mei Ling, who was crying uncontrollably, and ran forward with the eldest brother.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Lu Mingzheng made numerous phone calls to gather the best orthopedic doctors he knew to examine his second son.
After a lot of trouble, he was finally diagnosed with a concussion, two broken ribs, and a broken leg.
Mei Ling clutched her second brother's hand, sobbing uncontrollably. "If he hadn't protected me, I wouldn't be so badly injured. It's all my fault, all my fault..."
Lu Mingzheng clenched his fists, filled with regret. He knew yesterday that his second brother was coming to Hangzhou, and he had promised to pick him up after he finished his work.
Unexpectedly, the customer blocked the factory at the last minute, causing the second son to miss the deadline, which led to this incident.
He could imagine how heartbroken Jiang Ruzhen would be if she knew how badly her second son was injured!
Lu Mingzheng felt extremely guilty and remorseful for causing such a big incident for his second brother on his turf. "Yu Jian, take men and investigate. Find out who those people are. Make sure they're all wiped out!"
"Yes, boss."
Yu Jian was furious to see Shen Zhuoyi so badly injured.
He liked Shen Zhuoyi very much from the first time they met; he was smart, cheerful, and especially protective of his boss.
He was determined to capture those people himself and avenge Shen Zhuoyi.
Yu Jian left in a hurry, and Lu Mingzheng called Jiang Ruzhen with a heavy heart, telling her everything he had seen and the diagnosis results.
Jiang Ruzhen immediately became extremely anxious, "You take care of the second child for me first, I'll take the train there right away."
"Don't take the train. Wait here, I'll have someone buy you a plane ticket," Lu Mingzheng said.
"Tickets? Can I fly?" Jiang Ruzhen hesitated, worried that Lu Mingzheng would owe him a favor.
In the 1970s, only government officials were qualified to fly, and only those with a certain administrative rank were eligible.
In the early 1980s, when policies were relaxed, overseas Chinese, foreign guests, and overseas businesspeople were also allowed to travel by air.
It's obvious that she doesn't have the first two qualifications, so the only option left is to spend a huge sum of money to buy a ticket.
But even if an ordinary person like her had the money, she couldn't buy a plane ticket.
"Don't worry, I've arranged for someone to buy the plane ticket and send it to you."
Lu Mingzheng hung up the phone without saying a word and started contacting his comrades in Liancheng. Before long, the plane ticket was delivered to Jiang Ruzhen.
Jiang Ruzhen wanted to find out how much money she had spent, but the person who came cleverly avoided her.
"If you're curious, just ask my boss."
Jiang Ruzhen was completely confused. "Who's your boss?"
"Lu Mingzheng." The man waved and left without looking back.
Jiang Ruzhen went home and told her eldest brother about it, and arranged for him and the fourth brother to take Huang Mao and his gang to pick up the goods.
As for how to sell the goods, we'll talk about that when she returns safely with her second child.
When the eldest and fourth brothers heard from their mother that the second brother was injured, they wanted to go too, but when they heard that Uncle Lu had only bought their mother one plane ticket, they gave up the idea.
Jiang Ruzhen was afraid they would get anxious and upset, so she only said that the second son's injury was not serious and he would be fine after a few days of rest.
Having fooled the two children, she rushed to the airport without even having time to pack her luggage.
Throughout the journey, Jiang Ruzhen was extremely anxious, her heart constantly in suspense until she saw that her second son was unharmed.
Two and a half hours later, the plane landed at Hangzhou Airport. As soon as she got off the plane, she saw Lu Mingzheng standing in front of the car waving at her.
"Jiang Ruzhen, over here."
Jiang Ruzhen jogged over, and Lu Mingzheng strode forward to catch her, saying helplessly.
"Why are you running? With me here, I won't let anything happen to the second son."
"good."
For some reason, Jiang Ruzhen's unease throughout the journey instantly subsided the moment she saw Lu Mingzheng.
This man seemed to possess a magical power that could bring people peace of mind.
Lu Mingzheng took Jiang Ruzhen's hand and walked forward, frowning as he spoke.
"Why is it so cold? Are you cold?"
As he spoke, he took off his long woolen coat and wrapped it around Jiang Ruzhen, then put his arm around her shoulder and walked a few steps forward quickly.
Upon reaching her, he opened the car door and helped Jiang Ruzhen inside. Then, with a long stride, he sat down next to her in the back seat.
After settling in, he grabbed Jiang Ruzhen's hands again and rubbed and breathed on them repeatedly.
"How are you now? Are you still cold?"
His voice was unexpectedly deep and gentle, which made Yu Jian, who was driving in the front seat, shiver.
He had never seen such a gentle boss before. How could he be even more terrifying than the serious, stern-faced boss from before?
Jiang Ruzhen had never seen Lu Mingzheng speak so softly before, and she was momentarily stunned before blurting out.
"You've been possessed?"
