Chapter 117: Cheng Cheng's Life Story

Lu Yeshan nodded: "It's not that easy for him to die. Maybe the fire was just a trick for him to escape."

After listening to this, Shen Ranxin couldn't help but gasp.

If the fire that year was just Shen Ziqing's way of helping himself escape from trouble and avoid federal sanctions, then Shen Ziqing was probably too cold-blooded.

Because the person who died in that fire was Shen Ziqing's wife.

What's worse, he might not have intended to let Shen Ranxin come out alive, if Lu Zhi hadn't arrived at the end...

Shen Ranxin lowered his eyes and reached out to hold the wall next to him.

Whenever he thought of the fire, the nerves in his brain would be immediately pulled with severe pain, as if the fire had been burning from that year to now, causing every nerve in his brain to emit a burning pain.

"I've gone off topic." Lu Yeshan waved his hand, looked at Shen Ranxin and said, "During the five years you were missing, Cheng Cheng must have done some bad things to you without your consent. I apologize to you on his behalf, but Lu Zhi has already taught him a lesson. If you're not satisfied, you can beat him up yourself."

"..." Shen Ranxin paused, raised his eyelids, and said, "I'm not interested in helping you discipline your son, but Cheng Cheng was with Shen Ziqing at the time. Why was Shen Ziqing targeted by the Federation, but Cheng Cheng was able to escape?"

Lu Yeshan laughed softly twice.

"He was underage at the time."

Shen Ranxin: “…”

"He has been very good at taking advantage of loopholes to gain benefits for himself since he was young." Lu Yeshan sighed, "He is good at pretending to be cute and harmless... When he was six years old, I arranged for him to study in a private elementary school, and he only came back once a week."

As Lu Yeshan spoke, he seemed to be lost in some memories.

At that time, he was busy setting up a center for managing the abnormal, and had almost no time to discipline his children. Cheng Cheng showed some viciousness that was inconsistent with that of an ordinary person since he was young.

When Cheng Cheng was three years old, the nanny who gave birth to him was found dead in a villa.

The interstellar police went to investigate, but found nothing and could only conclude that the woman had hanged herself.

But Lu Yeshan couldn't understand. That woman wanted to become a wealthy wife through Cheng Cheng. If it was because he didn't agree, then she should have hanged herself when she was rejected. There was no need to wait until Cheng Cheng was three years old, right?

He didn't have much feelings for the woman at the time. He was just confused for a few minutes and then took Cheng Cheng to his side to raise her.

After all, no one would have thought that a three-year-old child would hurt his mother.

Even now, Lu Yeshan has not been able to find any evidence to prove that the death of Cheng Cheng's mother was related to the three-year-old child.

But later, Cheng Cheng's cruelty made even this soldier who had retired from the battlefield feel a chill down his spine.

That day, Cheng Cheng went home for vacation with a wound on his face. Lu Yeshan happened to be home and saw the wound on his son's face and asked about it.

At that time, Cheng Cheng said that there were a few kids in school who bullied him.

Lu Yeshan was a man who protected his own people. He immediately slapped his thigh and stood up: "How can this be absurd? Is there anyone who dares to bully my son? Don't be afraid. Dad will send someone to ask the teacher what's going on!"

Cheng Cheng just tilted his head: "No need, I've already apologized to them, and they said they won't bully me again."

"No, why should you apologize? Your father..."

Lu Yeshan stood up suddenly, and Cheng Cheng sat obediently on the sofa, persuading his father not to make a big fuss.

At that time, Lu Yeshan felt that Cheng Cheng was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.

To protect his son's innocence.

Lu Yeshan promised Cheng Cheng on the surface that he would not cause trouble at school, but with his own son suffering such a loss, Lu Yeshan could not bear it, so he secretly sent people to the school.

He originally thought that even if he didn't do anything, he had to scare those children who bullied his son so that they would behave themselves in the future.

As a result, when his subordinates went to the school to inquire, they found out that the children had been frightened insane by Cheng Cheng a few days ago and had already dropped out of school. One of them was said to have jumped off the building.

Mr. Lu quickly caught his son and questioned him. Unexpectedly, Cheng Cheng looked at him with a pair of innocent eyes: "They said they were joking with me when they bullied me. I was just joking with them. They were too timid. What does it have to do with me?"

President Lu was shocked and tried to defend his son: "It's their fault that they bullied you. You can go to the teacher or your father, and we will give you justice! And their crime doesn't deserve the death penalty. Just because he pushed you when you were walking, you want to kill him? Do you know that what you did is illegal?!"

Cheng Cheng sat on the balcony and kicked his legs leisurely: "Who can prove that I killed them?"

Mr. Lu choked.

Some of those children went crazy, some died, but there is no evidence to prove that they have a direct connection with Cheng Cheng.

Lu Yeshan frowned: "Do you think you can escape..."

"Even if there is evidence, so what?" Before he finished speaking, Cheng Cheng jumped down and interrupted him, saying casually: "I'm only six years old, Dad, the federal law will protect me."

"I have put too much effort into Cheng Cheng." Lu Yeshan pulled himself out of his memories: "Compared to Lu Zhi, he has not even seen too many dark sides. I clearly taught him tolerance, kindness, and love, but he always goes against my expectations."

Shen Ranxin supported Lu Yeshan and did not say a word.

"You and Lu Zhi are both very good children. Even though you have experienced some bad things, you are stronger than that child." Lu Yeshan patted Shen Ranxin's arm and said, "I am very happy that you two walked side by side in the end. I am not saying this to make you forgive Cheng Cheng... I also know that I may be too selfish."

Lu Yeshan paused for a moment and continued, "But... as a father, I always have a little compassion that is not known to outsiders. Cheng Cheng came into this world as a tool, which has a lot to do with me, so I will do my best to help you. If you and Lu Zhi have anything, all the resources and money of the Lu family can be used by you."

Shen Ranxin glanced sideways: "Do you want me to help you take care of Cheng Cheng?"

Lu Yeshan shook his head: "He will be responsible for what he has done. I don't know if I can live to see that day. When the day comes when he pays the price for his actions, you tell him on my behalf that I have never wanted to give up on him. No matter what he looks like, since he is my son, Lu Yeshan, I will recognize him."

Shen Ranxin pursed her lips and said nothing.

Lu Yeshan laughed twice: "With Lu Zhi here, I'm not too worried about what Cheng Cheng can do to you. Well, let's not talk about this anymore. I've prepared a dinner party and invited some media."

Shen Ran raised his eyebrows: "In what capacity do you want me to participate?"

"VIP." The old man pondered for a moment and said, "When to announce your relationship with Lu Zhi? You guys should consider it yourself. But you have just gained some popularity on that dating show. If you don't have someone to rely on, there will probably be a lot of idiots looking for trouble with you. Let them know that you are protected by my Lu Group, and there will be less trouble."

Shen Ranxin certainly knew that it was good to lean on a big tree for shade, but whether he could reach the big tree of Lu Group was still a question.

Lu Yeshan looked at Shen Ranxin's expression, and his sharp eagle eyes instantly understood what Shen Ranxin was thinking: "You don't trust me, but you should trust Lu Zhi, right?"

Shen Ranxin paused, looked back, and said after a while: "I will come."

Lu Yeshan snorted and walked away with his little cane.

"Young man, this sour smell of love, hum..."

*

When Lu Zhi sent Cheng Cheng into the medical cabin, he first took a shower to wash off the smell of blood and sweat on his body before leaving the basement to look for Shen Ranxin.

At that time, Shen Ranxin was standing in the large living room of the villa, discussing with her agent what to wear to attend the event in the evening.

As soon as Lu Zhi saw Shen Ranxin, he pounced on her like a large dog, hugged her from behind, and rubbed Shen Ranxin's glands with his nose like a pervert: "Baby, I miss you so much."

The agent pulled the hanger and coughed, "I'll go see if there are any other clothes. Well, it's hard to choose. I don't think I'll be back for a while. You guys keep chatting!"

Shen Ranxin: "No, wait a minute..."

He hadn't even finished his words when the living room, where the nanny had just passed by, suddenly became completely silent, as if no one had ever been there.

Shen Ranxin: “…”

Lu Zhi had already started to pull the skin on his neck with his teeth. Shen Ranxin felt a little itchy from his furry head, so he suppressed his smile and said, "Are you a dog? Let go!"

"A day has passed like three years. We haven't seen each other for three years." Lu Zhi rested his chin on Shen Ranxin's shoulder, almost sticking his whole body to Shen Ranxin's back. He reached out and grabbed Shen Ranxin's fingers and placed them on his abdomen: "Touch my belly."

Shen Ranxin inexplicably put his hands behind his back, pinched his very elastic abdominal muscles, and said, "Why are you touching my belly?"

Lu Zhi leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Ask your son if he misses you."

Shen Ranxin: “…”

He laughed and said, "How do you know it's a son? What if it's a daughter?"

"Whatever it is." Lu Zhi's hand reached dishonestly under the hem of Shen Ranxin's shirt, pinched his waist, and stroked his seductive waist inch by inch: "Whatever it is, Teacher Shen has to be responsible for us mother and daughter."

Shen Ranxin felt a little itchy when he rubbed her, and an indescribable feeling spread from her tailbone to her whole body.

His ears were red as he pulled Lu Zhi's hand off him: "Really? Ms. Lu has been pregnant for so long, why haven't you given birth yet?"

Mr. Lu said pitifully, "Maybe it's Nezha."

"According to Mr. Lu, this must be the Nezha ProMax."

Lu Zhi: "Teacher Shen, I want to..."

"No, you don't want to." Shen Ranxin patted Lu Zhi's arm and said, "Let go. You're almost strangling me to death."

Lu Zhi lowered his eyes and let go of his arms. I sat aside, looking pitiful, and watched Shen Ranxin pick out clothes.

If he had not seen with his own eyes the scene of Lu Zhi grabbing Cheng Cheng's neck and throwing him to the ground not long ago, he would have really believed that Mr. Lu was a powerless and resentful husband of a wealthy family.

*

Under Lu Zhi's various harassments, Shen Ranxin had a hard time choosing the clothes to wear for the evening event.

The dark green suit had some neo-Chinese design, and the hem was embroidered with bamboo leaves in dark gold lines, making him look as tall and straight as a bamboo.

The way Lu Zhi looked at him changed.

Shen Ranxin really couldn't stand the murderous gaze of Mr. Lu, so she could only give him a little treat when no one was around.

The mist from Rui Feng's eyes made Shen Ranxin unable to see the face in front of him clearly, but the touch of her lips was clearly transmitted to his mind, like a raging wildfire.

"Wait." Shen Ranxin finally took a breath and pursed her lips: "Don't be so hard, are you a dog?"

Lu Zhi narrowed his eyes, feeling uncomfortable with the suppression of his pheromones, but his desire for the alluring Teacher Xiao Shen in front of him did not subside at all.

"Shen Ranxin..." He snorted softly, his fingers resting on the sink tensed, his fingertips white, but an abnormal pinkness emanated from the joints.

After a while, he sighed deeply, rubbed Shen Ranxin's lips, and did nothing but muttered in a low voice: "Just kill me... It hurts so much, I'll go back and pull Cheng Cheng out of the medical cabin and beat him up again later."

Shen Ranxin: "...then our President Lu is really promising."

Before the banquet began, Shen Ranxin finally used cold water to reduce the redness and swelling of her lips so that others would not easily notice what she had just experienced.

Lu Zhi suffered from gigantic fear and couldn't go out, so Shen Ranxin had to stuff him into the toilet cubicle and let him reflect on why he had such a terrible disease.

Shen Ranxin sneaked out of the bathroom and slipped into the banquet hall. He took a glass of iced juice and drank it against his lips, hoping to reduce the swelling.

Suddenly, a figure jumped out from the side, and Shen Ranxin lost his grip on the juice in his hand and it all spilled on him.

"Don't you have eyes?"

A sharp and sarcastic voice fell.

Shen Ranxin looked up in confusion, and a glass of red wine was poured over his head!

The strong smell of alcohol wafted into his face, and Shen Ranxin wiped his face before he could see clearly the person standing in front of him.

He took two or three seconds to react and confirmed that he did not recognize the face in front of him.

"You blind bastard, who told you to bump into me?" The man put the empty cup aside heavily, hugged his chest, and looked at the disheveled Shen Ranxin arrogantly: "Do you know how much this dress of mine costs? This is a master's handmade, specially tailored for me! Tell me how you want compensation now!"

Shen Ranxin closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and smiled: "Trained in the circus, IQ is indeed a flaw."

The young man was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Shen Ranxin was making fun of him, and immediately raised his arm in annoyance.
