Cheng Haoyu and Zheng Xinyi glanced at each other. Zheng Xinyi handed the handkerchief to Yingzi and said, "Second Aunt, we've probably understood the general meaning, but I still don't understand. You came all the way to see me. How can you be sure that I can help you?"
"Because a week ago, a man named Wang Ye took Jiaming away with his own hands. I asked around and found out that Wang Ye was actually a subordinate of Cheng Haoyu. Since he is a subordinate of Captain Cheng, then things will be much easier." Zheng Shaodong raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and looked at Cheng Haoyu with hope.
"Yes, Wang Ye is indeed my subordinate, but things are not as simple as my second uncle and second aunt think." Cheng Haoyu said with a frown.
Zheng Shaodong and Yingzi looked at each other. Yingzi ignored the tears on her face and said in a choked voice: "Wang Ye is your subordinate. He will listen to you if you say anything."
"Second Aunt, things are not as simple as you think. Although Wang Ye is Haoyu's subordinate, there are still many military leaders above them who are putting pressure on them. Moreover, Jiaming has indeed committed a crime. The superiors will not let Jiaming go simply because of Haoyu's plea." Zheng Xinyi told them directly.
"Xinyi, what do you mean by that? Jiaming is your cousin, are you just going to watch him die?" Yingzi's face fell at that moment, and she was very dissatisfied with Zheng Xinyi's attitude.
"Second Aunt, that's not what I meant." Zheng Xinyi was speechless for a moment.
"Young Master, I've told you long ago that this girl won't help us." Yingzi said crying.
"Xinyi, Jiaming is my only son. I beg you, please help me." It was the first time that Zheng Shaodong pleaded with Xinyi in such a humble manner.
"Uncle, aunt, don't worry. Xinyi didn't mean that. She meant to try her best to help Jiaming. But he did something illegal after all. I'm afraid we're powerless. But don't worry, as long as we can help Jiaming, we will do our best to do it." Cheng Haoyu interrupted their pleading and constant complaints.
Yingzi immediately let go of Zheng Xinyi's hand and turned her attention to Cheng Haoyu: "You were able to marry Xinyi because of Xinyi's grandfather. You know, your grandfather and my father-in-law were comrades-in-arms. They had a deep friendship. Otherwise, how could my father-in-law be willing to marry Xinyi to you?"
Cheng Haoyu pushed away her arm that was grabbing him: "Second Aunt, don't worry, I will go to the military leaders to ask about the situation now. You and Second Uncle can rest at home."
After he finished speaking, Cheng Haoyu pulled Zheng Xinyi away.
Zheng Xinyi's face was solemn, and her brows were slightly furrowed: "It's really one thing after another."
"Xinyi, don't be angry. Something happened to Jiaming. Your second uncle and second aunt must be worried. Don't bother with them." Cheng Haoyu persuaded.
Although the number of times Zheng Xinyi and Jiaming had come into contact could be counted on one hand, Jiaming was her cousin after all, and Zheng Xinyi was not such an unkind person. When she knew that Jiaming was in trouble, she was really angry and anxious, but she couldn't explain it to her second uncle and second aunt. She was so angry that she had nowhere to vent.
He sighed deeply and said, "I'll leave Jiaming's matter to you. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must find a way to help and try to mitigate his crime. After all, he is the only son of my second uncle and second aunt."
Cheng Haoyu reached out and patted her shoulder with understanding: "Don't worry!"
