Chapter 148 Big Dog Sues Fake Second Dog
After the two reporters left satisfied with their cameras and recorders full of material, Zhao Jingxiang turned to Qin Jinshen with a sinister look. "Fake Er Gou, are you out of your mind? How dare you offend me? Don't you know that our common enemy right now is Zhou Jiuzhen!"
“Yes, of course I know. I’ll deal with Zhou Jiuzhen sooner or later,” Qin Jinshen glanced at him casually, took the sliced apple from the guard, and said with a mocking look in his eyes, “But compared to him, I hate you more!”
Zhao Jingxiang sneered, his hawk-like eyes fixed on the seemingly weak and helpless man in front of him, surprised that this man would be such a worthy opponent.
“Very good. I didn’t know that Brother Fake Dog had such courage. I just didn’t know that if Comrade Ling knew that you lied without thinking and actually spread rumors to reporters that the two of you were having an affair.”
"Do you think she might reward you with a few jars of pickled vegetables?"
"What's the meaning?"
Qin Jinshen was completely baffled by what a pickling jar was. The next second, his pupils dilated and his expression changed drastically.
Zhao Jingxiang gave him a wicked smile, then took a long stride and ran away.
That sly look in his eyes clearly said, "You little brat, just you wait, I'll go and tell on you right now!"
It was as dark as if ink had been spilled on the ground. The country lanes were pitch black, with only a few stars scattered across the sky, making it difficult to even see the road clearly.
Zhao Jingxiang stumbled forward as if being chased by a ghost, shouting, "Comrade Ling! That scoundrel Zhao Ergou is up to no good! He conspired with the reporter to spread rumors that you and he are in love... Come and beat this shameless liar to death!"
He ran while shouting, and because he was running too fast, he kicked something hard and almost tripped over himself. He staggered and grabbed a low tree for support, his face covered in leaves.
Qin Jinshen was extremely anxious behind him, his feet leaving afterimages as he chased after him, and he didn't even notice that his long robe got caught on the thorns by the roadside.
He chased after her, tearing at her clothes, yelling, "You fake big dog! That was a joke! A joke! What are you tattled on?"
He was so focused on shouting that he didn't notice he stepped into a small ditch, and with a cry of "Ouch!" he twisted his ankle, wincing in pain.
The guard, Ma, who was running frantically ahead with his flashlight, was in a sorry state. His flashlight swayed wildly, shining only at his feet. He would stumble over stones every few steps, muttering, "My goodness... Er Gou... in the dark... if we fall and hurt ourselves... when Comrade Ling sees us... he'll think the three of us have gone mad..."
He chased after them, breathless, and his flashlight clattered to the ground, plunging the entire country road into complete darkness.
Zhao Jingxiang heard the noise and turned around, only to have his eyes stung by willow catkins blown by the wind. He rubbed his eyes and ran around aimlessly.
Unexpectedly, he bumped into a haystack with a "thud," and was so stunned that he couldn't recover for a long time.
Qin Jinshen limped after them, about to curse, when he tripped over the flashlight that the guard had dropped. He instinctively grabbed the guard beside him and they both fell to the side of the haystack with two thuds, landing right on Zhao Jingxiang's legs.
"Oh no! There are bears, two bears! Help!" Zhao Jingxiang yelled.
"You're the coward! It's all your fault!" Guard Ma retorted, rubbing his knee.
My buttocks twitched; it felt quite soft underneath.
He stuck out his butt and tried to see what he was sitting on by the dim light of the flashlight that had fallen to the ground.
I squinted and was so scared I almost lost my mind.
Qin Jinshen's face was flushed red, his mouth was crooked and his eyes were slanted. Clearly, his handsome fake face had been subjected to inhuman pressure, and he was now unconscious.
"Master...my master! Wake up..."
The mournful cries of the horse guards echoed throughout the country lane.
Zhao Jingxiang dusted off the dirt and grass clippings on his clothes and stood up. As he let out a long sigh, a barely perceptible sneer appeared on his lips. He muttered to himself, "Master? It seems this guy's identity isn't simple either! Ling Huanwu, what charm do you possess that makes someone willing to hide their identity just to stay by your side?"
He certainly didn't just naively want to complain to Ling Huanwu.
I just wanted to verify the real purpose of this fake "Ergou" spending a lot of money to hire reporters and bribe all the educated youth to slander his commander father.
Surprisingly, this fake "Er Gou" was actually just unhappy with Ling Huanwu because he liked her!
After passing through rows of neatly arranged production team plots of land, the beach is not far away.
There is no moon tonight, and it's very dark everywhere.
Zhao Jingxiang lit a cigarette on the beach, the crimson tip flickering in the sea breeze.
The seawater in front of me looked like a huge black cloth, stretching from my feet all the way to the horizon.
Even the outline of the waves was blurred; all that could be heard was the "whoosh" of the tide rolling in the darkness, like someone hiding in the shadows, panting heavily.
Zhao Jingxiang recalled his childhood.
He cannot cry or laugh like a normal child, nor can he please his parents.
Everyone said he was a monster without feelings.
But he wasn't entirely without sadness or unhappiness.
He just couldn't laugh or cry.
Only his younger brother would follow him around like a shadow, calling him "brother" in a childish voice.
But he hated his younger brother.
Because of his younger brother's birth, the family's already thin affection for him has completely vanished.
Everyone doted on the younger brother, treating him, who had no emotions, as a monster.
Later, the grandfather wanted to repay the kindness and wanted his grandson to marry into the Ling family as a child husband.
At that time, he longed to leave that home and live somewhere else.
His parents and grandfather had originally planned for him to go south to be a child groom.
But to be fair, they still placed the black-and-white photo of their five-year-old fiancée on the table and pretended to ask for their opinions.
But his younger brother, the one who always gave in to him, held onto the photo of the little girl who looked like a fairytale princess even though she was only five years old, and insisted on taking her away from him as the child groom that no boy would want to be.
That evening, he heard his parents sighing in their room.
They all say, why isn't it Big Dog who went south to marry into the family?
He wasn't too upset by these hurtful words.
Later, he coaxed his younger brother with a blank expression to secretly go south to see the little girl who was like a princess.
Upon arriving in Yuncheng, she expressionlessly pushed her younger brother into the lake and went home alone.
After returning home, he learned how to laugh and how to cry.
His family members praised him and scolded him, and he learned to be happy and angry.
Yet they still cry while holding their younger brother's photo every day, without sharing any of the love that originally belonged only to him.
More than a decade later, he never expected that his younger brother would not only be alive and well, but also become a regimental commander, and eventually find the little fiancée he had longed for since childhood.
But why should he be able to fall in love with someone else and stay with the person he loves?
And so he lived numbly, unable to love others, and others didn't love him either?
Zhao Jingxiang closed his calm, still eyes and tossed the cigarette butt into the surging waves, just as he had unhesitatingly pushed his brother into the mud years ago.
This time, he will show no mercy either!
