As the car drove along the road, Li Zhenhua hesitated several times, wanting to ask the driver to turn back.
But in the end, he still wanted to go and see for himself.
The seed of doubt had been planted, and if he didn't go and confirm it himself today, he feared he would never be able to face his wife and son with a normal heart again.
"Chief, we're here."
Li Zhenhua came to his senses.
So fast?
He looked outside, then hesitated again.
Does he really want to go and see?
The guards still don't know what he's doing here all of a sudden.
After a moment of silence, Li Zhenhua spoke. "Let's go."
Maybe it was just a joke someone played on him. He'll take a look and then he'll feel relieved.
Upon reaching the entrance to their destination, Li Zhenhua looked at the tightly closed door and suddenly said to the guard beside him, "You just wait here, don't go in."
"It's the commander."
The door wasn't closed; he just pushed it open.
Inside the house, Yu Huimin had already brought out all the dishes.
"Try my cooking, Chenggong, you haven't had my cooking in years."
Hearing his mother's affectionate tone, Li Wei pursed his lips.
Lu Chenggong was about to speak with a smile when he heard the door creak open outside. His brow furrowed, and he, being highly vigilant, immediately became alert.
Nobody knows about him, so who would come over?
If Yu Huimin and her son hadn't been there, he almost would have taken out the pistol hidden in the drawer.
"So what if you succeeded?" Yu Huimin asked, noticing his unusual behavior.
“There are people outside.” Lu Chenggong stood up. “I’ll go out and take a look.”
He had just stood up when the door was pushed open.
Li Zhenhua took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and saw three people in front of the table: his wife and son, who were nowhere to be seen, and a strange man.
Even though he didn't want to believe what he heard on the phone, seeing this scene still made his blood boil.
"Old, Old Li," Yu Huimin exclaimed in shock.
“Dad.” Li Wei was also somewhat surprised.
Lu Chenggong never expected that the person who came would be Li Zhenhua. His mind raced for a moment, and he was about to speak when he realized what was going on.
Li Zhenhua pointed at Lu Chenggong and spoke, suppressing his anger.
"who is he?"
“Old Li, listen to me, Chenggong is a friend of mine. I thought you weren’t coming back, so I thought I’d celebrate my birthday with my friends. If you don’t believe me, ask Xiaowei. Xiaowei knows Chenggong too.” Yu Huimin looked at her son with a pleading expression.
Although Li Wei sensed something was off between his mother and this Uncle Lu, he knew what he could and couldn't say at this moment.
He quickly testified with a smile, "Dad, Mom is right, this is Uncle Lu, Mom's friend."
"Ha, success, that sounds so familiar." Li Zhenhua glanced at the three of them, his eyes red.
Yu Huimin became nervous under his gaze, and her heart was filled with panic. How did her husband get here? How did he know she was here?
Lu Chenggong quickly explained, "You must be Huimin's husband. Please don't misunderstand, I am Lu Chenggong. It's a pleasure to meet you."
He walked up to Li Zhenhua and extended his hand.
Li Zhenhua sneered. "Since we're friends, why not invite us to your home? Why make such a fuss over coming all this way? Isn't it your birthday?"
Thinking about what the person on the phone had said, the more he looked at the man in front of him, the more suspicious he became.
Wife, have you really done something to betray yourself?
Thinking about it, he looked at his youngest son sitting there, wondering if his son was really his child.
Li Wei felt uncomfortable under his gaze. "Dad, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Old Li, this is really a misunderstanding. I didn't invite him to my house because you weren't home, and I was afraid the people in the compound would gossip," Yu Huimin said anxiously.
Even if she already loathed her husband and harbored thoughts of leaving him and rekindling her relationship with Lu Chenggong, it shouldn't be under the circumstances like this.
"Gossiping? Aren't you afraid of being gossiped about when you visit other men's homes?" Li Zhenhua retorted.
"Comrade Li, let's talk this out properly. Please don't be angry. It's all my fault, I didn't think things through. If you want to blame someone, blame me." Lu Chenggong immediately apologized.
He hasn't even asked Yu Huimin to do anything for him yet, wouldn't it be a huge loss to break off their relationship now?
The main reason was that they were afraid of really angering Li Zhenhua, who held a high position, and causing unnecessary trouble.
He's already starting to regret agreeing to Yu Huimin's request to come to his house for her birthday.
Although he was puzzled as to how Li Zhenhua knew where he lived and how he had come at this time, he didn't have time to dwell on those questions right now.
"Yes, you are absolutely wrong." Before he could finish speaking, Li Zhenhua threw a punch at him.
Lu Chenggong could have dodged, but he didn't.
His face was turned to the side by the blow, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
"Success, are you alright?" Yu Huimin screamed as she rushed over.
"Old Li, are you crazy?" she couldn't help but yell at her husband.
Sometimes, a person's instinctive reactions cannot be concealed.
Li Zhenhua was already angry, and seeing his wife so worried about this man named Lu Chenggong, his heart sank to the bottom.
His intuition told him that their relationship was anything but ordinary.
Yu Huimin may seem foolish, but Lu Chenggong is not. When she tried to cup her face to check her injuries, Lu Chenggong immediately dodged away.
"Huimin, you and Comrade Li go home. First, clear up your misunderstanding. I'm sorry, it's all my fault for making you angry, Xiaowei." As he spoke, he quickly winked at Li Wei.
Li Wei wasn't stupid this time, and quickly took his mother's arm.
"Mom, let's go home. You and Dad can talk about what you need to say at home."
Looking at Li Zhenhua again, Li Wei became a little cautious. "Dad, let's go home first."
Li Zhenhua closed his eyes, then opened them again, gave Lu Chenggong a cold look, and turned to leave.
Seeing that he was no longer pursuing the matter, the three people behind him all breathed a sigh of relief.
As he stepped outside, Li Zhenhua whispered something to the waiting guard.
"After we leave, arrest that man inside and wait for my orders."
The guard nodded.
Yu Huimin and Li Wei didn't dare to say a word and got into the car.
Li Zhenhua remained silent throughout the journey.
He didn't speak, so Yu Huimin and her son dared not open their mouths even more.
Neither Yu Huimin nor Li Wei noticed that Li Zhenhua's bodyguards had followed them because they were too nervous.
Even if they noticed, they would probably assume that the car was too crowded and the guards didn't let them sit on it.
Inside the house, watching Yu Huimin and the others leave, Lu Chenggong sighed. What a mess this all is.
He's been influenced by spending so much time with Yu Huimin, that woman who's not very bright.
After thinking it over, he turned around and was about to go inside to tidy up when he suddenly noticed a noise behind him.
Unfortunately, before he could react, a sharp pain shot through the back of his head, and he fainted.
