Chapter 137 He Abides by the Law
Kang Niannian covered her face in disbelief.
She considered many possibilities, but never this one.
Cong Yun was actually her father's illegitimate daughter.
Her usually gentle and loving father had an illegitimate daughter who looked almost exactly like her.
This woman is so vicious, I want to kill her.
"No, you're lying to me! My dad isn't that kind of person!"
Kang Niannian stubbornly defended herself, though her tone carried a hint of doubt.
Zhou Ran shrugged. "This is quite a show."
One's birth is not a justification for doing evil.
If you are hurt, you will hurt others.
This is typical bad guy logic.
But he likes it.
Only then did Cong Yun turn her gaze to Kang Niannian's face.
The mockery was off the charts.
Do you believe what you yourself are saying?
Yes, no one would believe a man's virginity.
The room fell silent.
Kang Niannian was unsure how to deal with Cong Yun.
She wanted to kill her, but she was also a victim.
Kang Niannian looked at Zhou Ran.
Cong Yun lowered her head, avoiding looking at Zhou Ran.
She was afraid, afraid that she wouldn't be able to resist unleashing murderous intent.
No one wanted Zhou Ran dead more than she did.
"What are you looking at? What's there to fuss about? She committed murder on purpose, just take her to the police station and hand her over to the officers."
"I'm not a judge, I don't judge people."
Zhou Ran stretched and yawned. Being unable to sleep and going for a walk could save a life.
His luck these days is also quite strange.
Upon hearing his words, the bodyguard immediately called the police.
Zhou Ran returned to her hospital room, pulled up the covers, and went to sleep!
He had just closed his eyes when the phone started ringing incessantly.
Zhou Ran opened her eyes and glared at the bodyguard on the sofa.
A blatant threat.
You better stop making that noise right now, or I'll kill you if you keep me from sleeping.
The bodyguard frantically answered the phone.
"Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened to the young master!"
A deafening roar came from over there.
Zhou Ran frowned. Xia Chengan? What happened?
"What's wrong?"
The bodyguard quickly pressed for details.
"The Fourth Young Master's race car brakes failed and it plunged off a cliff. The Eldest Young Master went to look for him but has gone missing!"
The bodyguard looked at Zhou Ran and asked for his decision.
"Mobilize the Xia family's resources to search for the person with all their might, and notify the family head."
Zhou Ran calmly gave the order that launching a full-scale search and rescue operation was the wisest decision at this time.
If he were to run there himself, given his current physical condition, he would simply be a hindrance.
Leave professional matters to professionals.
The bodyguard looked at Zhou Ran's hand.
Zhou Ran's clenched fist betrayed her emotions.
The bodyguard swiftly gave orders to mobilize manpower, call the police for a search and rescue operation, and simultaneously notify the family head, Xiahou Nan.
At this point, money is everything.
Darkness, car accident, cliff, dense forest.
Each of these is a fatal factor.
Deploy helicopters there as quickly as possible.
Only by expanding the search and rescue area to the greatest extent possible can Xia Chenggan be found as soon as possible.
Zhou Ran took out her phone to check the recent weather forecast. There would be heavy fog tomorrow morning, which would affect the search and rescue efforts.
It would be best if we could find someone tonight.
He made a phone call and gave the order.
First Xia Chengping got into trouble, then Xia Chenggan.
It's hard not to suspect that someone is using Xia Chengping's case for Xia Chenggan's benefit.
Just in case, he had to be careful.
"Qiu Dun, take your men and weapons and follow them into the woods. Make sure Xia Chenggan is safe."
"Okay, leave it to me. Don't worry, I won't let you become a widow!"
Qiu Dun got out of bed, muttering to himself.
"They don't even care about me this much, so why is that guy being treated differently? It's really annoying!"
It was the kind of resentment that Xia Chenggan was more important than himself.
The call had already ended, but Zhou Ran continued to try to contact him.
Wait until the call is finished.
Zhou Ran breathed a sigh of relief; all that was left was to leave it to fate!
Xia Chenggan will be fine.
Unable to sleep, Zhou Ran put on her shoes and sat on the edge of the bed to wait for news from the other side.
Let's turn back time a little.
Xia Chenggan had a bad feeling when he received the news that Xia Chengping had gotten into trouble.
Ever since that day he saw a different world.
It's no different from before.
It's just that I have a bit more of a sixth sense.
It's that sixth sense of danger and luck.
They can sense danger in advance.
They will sense the benefits of this in advance.
Xia Chenggan never relied on these things.
Like Zhou Ran, he was used to the idea that human will can overcome nature.
However, we will also be more vigilant.
Xia Chenggan had a bad feeling when he received the call.
It's the kind that's particularly dangerous, not good.
Just in case, he mobilized his men to go along.
We remained vigilant the whole way, and nothing happened.
They arrived at the scene of the accident without incident.
That's just causing trouble.
Xia Chengping and other rich kids are getting annoying in the school circle.
We organized a group trip to go racing.
They not only race cars, but also gamble on cars.
It's a game, not serious, but the stakes are in the hundreds of thousands.
It's just for entertainment.
The cars were all provided by these young masters themselves.
For safety reasons, the venue was chosen on a winding mountain road.
This is private property. They come here often, they know the roads well, and it's safe for them.
Just like the previous times.
There are dedicated personnel to clean the site and check road safety.
Prepare all the necessary items.
The event was hosted by the Zhu family, a second-rate aristocratic family that mainly runs auctions; they are considered wealthy and capable.
Organizing this kind of competition is something they are quite adept at.
The competition went smoothly.
Xia Chengping joined in the betting several times, but lost more than he won.
Xia Chengping didn't have much money; he just treated it as a bit of fun.
Fu Xuan was having a lucky day, winning a lot of money, and was enjoying himself with a beautiful woman in his arms.
Xia Chengan was not involved; he was the mastermind behind it all.
In the end, he was the one who won the most.
Xia Chengping didn't want to participate, but the atmosphere was just too good.
Zhu Ya got out of his car and saw Xia Chengping standing to the side, so he greeted him.
"Fourth Young Master, aren't you going to race today? Have a match with me! This is my new car. How about it? Itching for a fight?"
Fu Xuan, now in high spirits, looked at Xia Chengping.
"Are you going? I brought one with me, it's just as good as his, why don't you give it a try?"
Xia Chengping glanced at Zhu Ya's car.
"Nice car. You're pretty rich, aren't you? Must be worth tens of millions?"
"Yeah, about 20 million. I begged my dad for ages! It feels really good."
If it weren't for their recent collaboration with the Xia family...
His father instructed him to be on good terms with the Xia family.
Zhu Yacai was reluctant to give up his car.
That was the car he cherished most.
Xia Chengping shook his head.
"Fine, I won't take what others want. I brought my car, have someone drive it over, and I'll have a race with you!"
"Thank you for the honor, Fourth Young Master."
Zhu Ya's smile now held a greater sincerity.
The car arrived quickly; it was a black sports car, understated yet luxurious.
The roar of the engine stirred the heart.
"Damn, no wonder you didn't like Zhu Ya's car. I have such a nice car, I don't care about the others."
Fu Xuan saw the car and reached out to give Xia Chengping a nudge.
"Kid, you hid it well, it's a limited edition!"
"It belongs to my brother. I'm just borrowing it to play with, and I'll return it later."
Xia Chengping laughed ostentatiously.
Everyone could hear the smugness in this person's tone.
It's just showing off having a good older brother, is it really necessary to keep mentioning it?
However, if they had a capable older brother, they would show him off and display him on the very edge of the screen every day.
Xia Chenggan was someone they could hardly reach.
Having such an older brother is something to be proud of.
Of course, it's also a very stressful thing.
Their older brother wasn't as capable, and they had to endure their parents' favoritism.
Moreover, the Xia family is large and powerful, with many brothers.
Adding to the woes of having such a powerful older brother, things became even more dire.
However, it's best to keep these things to yourself and gossip about them privately.
They now only dare to smile, their mouths full of exclamations and praises.
Not only should we praise the four young masters, but we should also praise the eldest young master.
When Xia Chengping heard them praising him and his brother, he was so proud of himself that he was practically strutting around like a madman.
Neither of them had such a good older brother.
The race was quickly prepared. Xia Chengping got into his limited edition sports car and floored the accelerator the moment the starting flag was waved.
Amid cheers and screams from the crowd, the engine roared through the mountains as the vehicle sped away.
Two sports cars, one black and one red, were chasing each other closely.
The two knew the way well and didn't slow down at all. They drifted through the bends of the mountain road.
The two even had the leisure to chat.
Xia Chengping was straightforward: "I heard your family's been having quite a bit of trouble lately?"
Zhu Ya wasn't annoyed; they wanted everyone to know about their family's troubles.
"Yes, it's quite a big fuss. The old man has been having a terrible headache lately."
The old man Zhu Ya was referring to was not his father, but his grandfather, Zhu Yun.
The old man came from humble beginnings; he was an amazing person who rose from the loess soil.
The Zhu family has achieved what it has today.
It's all thanks to Old Master Zhu's sharp eye, good luck, and the right choice in aligning himself with a powerful figure.
Back then, when warlords were in power, Old Master Zhu's family was poor and often went hungry.
With a heavy heart, he went up the mountain and became a bandit.
An accident saved Chen Mazi, the bandit leader at the time.
Chen Mazi was a man of honor and thought that Old Master Zhu was a lucky star, so he kept him by his side as a trusted confidant.
Old Master Zhu was quite capable, and with his silver tongue, he became Chen Mazi's confidant.
Later, the Japanese invaded.
Although Chen Mazi was a bandit, he had some backbone.
I don't want to be like those lackeys, serving as a lackey for the Japanese.
They simply stayed in the bandit's den and refused to come out.
Later, with frequent wars, many people turned to banditry.
Their stronghold grew larger and larger, and their population increased.
Later, the rebel army suddenly rose to prominence.
The principle is to unite all forces that can be united to jointly resist aggression.
They sent people up the mountain to recruit them.
When Chen Mazi saw them, he realized they were really fighting the Japanese.
He agreed to be incorporated, along with his brothers and guns.
They were confident that they would beat the invaders so badly they wouldn't recognize their own mothers, and utterly destroy them.
No one expected that this defensive war would last for eight years.
The team members have changed batch after batch.
Grandpa Zhu was very lucky, having survived several life-or-death situations.
He faced death time and time again, but each time he miraculously survived.
Not only did he survive, but Chen Mazi also survived.
Old Master Zhu had always been Chen Mazi's adjutant and confidant.
Finally, they saw the dawn together.
Mr. Zhu was clever; he retired gracefully at the height of his career, and with a pile of medals on his head, he became one of the first people to venture into business.
With his background and vision, he managed to build a fortune.
But life has always been about finding the perfect balance.
Success in one's career is fleeting, but family life inevitably has its shortcomings. Author's note: Thank you to my mentor 9492239 (9492239) for your support! For more exciting content, please leave a message for this book on Liancheng Reading.
