She must have rushed here after hearing the news; her hair was disheveled, and her face was full of anxiety. She had lost one shoe while running, and she looked utterly disheveled.
"You're injured? What should we do?"
Her body trembled, and she held Wei Wei's hand, her eyes filled with tears: "I didn't know you were here... This disaster should have been my fault!"
Knowing the stubbornness in this honest woman's character, Wei Wei immediately grasped her hand and looked earnestly into her eyes: "Auntie, when someone wants to cause you trouble, you can't escape it even if you do nothing."
"Only by standing up and defeating him will he be afraid of you."
Seeing the pain, panic, and guilt in her eyes, Wei Wei sighed and pulled her hand into the house.
"Unless I never leave the house, I'll have to go through this once in a while."
"I'm not afraid, and neither should the old lady be afraid of them."
Seeing that she was still somewhat dazed and trapped in the abyss of self-blame, Wei Wei raised her voice slightly: "Do you have any medicine in your room? If you do, I'll take advantage of you, but you mustn't be stingy, Auntie."
Aunt Leng's eyes reddened, her lips trembled, and she finally nodded: "Please wait a moment, benefactor, I'll go get it now."
After saying that, he stumbled into the house.
Wei Wei felt a little reluctant, but also somewhat relieved that she hadn't seen Aunt Leng's son.
If Qin Shi had actually run into him just now, who knows if he would have been able to escape unscathed.
Although Wei Wei bled a little from the wound on her neck, it wasn't deep.
She and Qin Shi were just playing psychological warfare.
Whoever fears death will lose.
Qin Shi released them last time, so he will definitely release them this time.
After carefully applying the medicine, Wei Wei said goodbye.
As I approached the door, I still couldn't rest easy.
She looked at the old woman who was now standing in the courtyard watching them leave and said, "Seriously speaking, this is nothing serious. Young people are just a bit impulsive. Aunt Leng, please don't get upset about this."
Aunt Leng's eyes were dull, and she only moved slightly when she heard Wei Wei's words.
"Don't worry, young lady, the old lady won't do anything rash."
At this point, a genuine smile appeared on her tired face: "I am very grateful for your concern."
"This is my good fortune, and I cannot let you down."
After hearing this, Wei Wei smiled with relief: "Auntie has always been the kindest and most considerate person. If there's a chance, could you come with me to the Meng residence?"
"It's not out of pity, but because I'm begging you."
Aunt Leng looked into her eyes and seemed to see something different in them.
Finally, she nodded: "It would be my good fortune to be able to enter the Meng family."
Wei Wei felt relieved and left with Xiao Yue'er's help.
Xiao Yue'er asked in a low voice, "Why does Miss want to bring Aunt Leng into the Meng residence?"
Wei Wei smiled, but did not answer immediately.
Once her son pledges allegiance to her, she becomes his weakness when she is out in the world.
Bringing him in would relieve his worries, a mutually beneficial arrangement, so why not?
——
That night, it wasn't the man in black who opened the window, but Aunt Leng's son.
Wei Wei was not asleep; it was as if she was waiting for this uninvited guest.
The candlelight was still burning on the table in the outer room, and the tea in the pot was steaming.
"Please come in," Wei Wei said with a smile, her tone familiar.
The middle-aged man's eyes flickered, and he turned and went into the house.
He and Aunt Leng looked about five-tenths alike, but his features were much colder.
Unlike when I saw him in the alley last time, the aura he exudes now is noticeably more dangerous.
He was like a drawn sword, so sharp that people almost dared not look him in the eye.
At this moment, his scrutinizing gaze fell on Wei Wei, as if trying to discern something.
Wei Wei remained seated as a mountain, and waited for him to approach before speaking earnestly: "I will protect your mother, how about you serve me?"
Everyone here is intelligent; she never considered pretending in front of this murderer with blood on his hands.
Only by openly and honestly stating what we need can we better lay the groundwork for future actions.
The middle-aged man in front of her had a complicated expression, and his voice carried a hint of disappointment: "As expected, Madam Meng has ulterior motives."
Wei Wei shook her head: "You don't need to think so badly of me. My sincerity towards your mother far outweighs my exploitation. I would never set up a scheme for years just to wait for you."
She smiled and said, "Knowing that you are not simple is just a coincidence."
"So? Do you agree to this deal?"
He stared intently at Wei Wei, as if pondering the truth of her words, and after a long while said, "You have been kind to my mother, and I will repay you no matter what."
“Mrs. Meng, just tell me what you want me to do.”
Seeing his decisiveness, Wei Wei stopped being coy and asked, "What should I call you?"
The man withdrew his gaze, his voice turning cold again: "Leng Pusheng."
Wei Wei nodded: "In the next few days, my parents may be tricked into leaving the city. In addition to protecting them, you also need to capture the murderer alive."
Leng Pusheng looked slightly surprised, but the person in front of him didn't offer any further explanation.
He frowned and agreed without hesitation.
Wei Wei's eyes were full of smiles, and her voice rose slightly: "Then it's settled."
“I will find an opportunity to bring your mother in as soon as possible.”
Having covered most of the matter, Leng Pusheng showed no intention of leaving immediately. He hesitated for a moment before suddenly asking, "Does Madam Meng know about the current situation at the Meng residence?"
