On the way, Qi Lanhong told Shen Ye what had happened.
Her classmate was Wu Mengying, who had been in the same high school class as her and had just taken the college entrance exam. Both of them had good grades and were admitted to the Capital Foreign Language School.
After receiving the admission letter, she wanted to go on a trip with Wu Mengying to celebrate her admission to university.
But after she went to Wu Mengying's home, the Wu family did not welcome her very much. They also said that Wu Mengying was about to get married and would not go to college.
Qi Lanhong was particularly surprised. Wu Mengying was only eighteen years old, not even of legal age. How could she get married so early?
Wu Mengying was locked up by the Wu family. Qi Lanhong was smart enough to find Wu Mengying's younger brother and get some information from him.
It turns out that the Wu family wanted Wu Mengying to marry a dead person, commonly known as a ghost marriage.
The person who proposed this matter was a Taoist priest. It was said that the employer behind the Taoist priest could pay a lot of money and also promised to give the Wu family a house within the second ring road of the imperial capital.
These days, houses within the second ring road of the capital are priced at sky-high prices. How could the Wu family refuse?
The Wu family wasn't particularly wealthy to begin with, and Wu Mengying's younger brother was about to enter his senior year of high school. He planned to get married and have children, so he'd have to buy a house in the capital. The Wu family had long worried about where to get the money, but now someone offered them money, and they agreed without a second thought.
The Taoist priest’s requirement was that Wu Mengying must go with him after the ghost marriage and could no longer stay in the Wu family.
The Wu family got the house and several million in cash, so they don’t care about Wu Mengying’s life or death.
However, when Wu Mengying heard about this, she was extremely angry and packed her luggage to escape. In the end, she was caught by the Wu family and locked up.
"These days, there are still people who perform ghost marriages. It's one thing to do, but they actually take the person away... That Taoist priest asked Mengying to go with him. I think he might want to kill Mengying and let her go underground to accompany that... that dead person!" Qi Lanhong gritted her teeth and said, "Mengying's parents are ridiculous too. They sold their daughter like that. They really don't deserve to be parents!"
After she heard the news, she immediately left the village because she knew that some Taoists were very powerful and she was afraid of being discovered by them.
Fortunately, she ran fast. As soon as she left, the Taoist priest arrived at the Wu family.
Qi Lanhong didn't care about that at the time. She just happened to see a Weibo post by Shen Ye, saying that he could help girls who were forced into marriage. Wu Mengying's situation was special, but it could also be attributed to being forced into marriage, so she got a number and called Xu Sisi.
The reason she created a new account was to prevent the Taoist priest from tracking her down. As someone who had read many online novels, she always felt that bad Taoist priests were very evil and she had to be on guard against them if possible.
In fact, her behavior was completely unnecessary and instead delayed Ye Ze's progress in sending people to find her.
But we should always be on guard against others, and her thinking is correct.
Shen Ye had already seen the whole story from Qi Lanhong's face.
He also knew that if he hadn't come this time, the Taoist priest would come to deal with Qi Lanhong after killing Wu Mengying.
Fortunately, Qi Lanhong contacted Xu Sisi in time.
"You guessed right. The Taoist priest wanted your classmate to go underground to accompany his employer's son, so your classmate is indeed in danger." Shen Ye paused and said, "But don't worry, I will rescue your classmate."
Qi Lanhong was angry and grateful, and said excitedly: "Thank you, I knew you would help us!"
Shen Ye couldn't help but smile. It seemed that this was another one of his little fans.
The car quickly drove into Mingfeng Village and stopped directly in front of the Wu family's door.
Wu Mengying's home is also a two-story villa built by herself, which looks quite grand.
However, self-built houses usually only cost a few hundred thousand yuan, and the Wu family had no savings after the house was built, so they sold Wu Mengying and bought a house in the city for their son.
There were quite a few people in the Wu family yard, including Wu Mengying's parents and family, as well as the Taoist priest, the employer, and the bodyguards brought by the employer.
They were planning to arrange a ghost marriage between Wu Mengying and her employer's son tonight, so they came to Wu's house early to take Wu Mengying away.
When he saw several cars driving up to the doorstep, the first person to react was the employer.
"Master Yin, did you invite those people outside?" The employer's surname was Yao. The Wu family didn't know his name, they only knew that Master Yin called him Boss Yao.
Hearing this, Master Yin looked towards the gate of the courtyard.
Qi Lanhong was the first to get off the car. Master Yin sneered. This little girl actually dared to come here, so don't blame him for being rude!
But the next second, he saw Shen Ye and Ye Ze getting out of the car hand in hand.
The moment he saw Shen Ye, Master Yin's expression suddenly changed.
Taoist priests also have their own circles. They have long known that Chen Ye has killed several powerful masters, and the reason why those masters were targeted by Chen Ye was because they had done bad things.
Master Yin knew very well that he was not a good person. This time, arranging a ghost marriage for Boss Yao's deceased son was also a bad thing. He even planned to swallow Wu Mengying's soul. After all, Wu Mengying was born in a yin year, yin month and yin day, which was a great tonic for him.
He originally thought that this matter would be silent and would not reach Shen Ye's ears. After all, it was in the countryside, and he deliberately asked Boss Yao to keep a low profile.
Who would have thought that Shen Ye would find out!
He suddenly felt a little regretful that he should have gotten rid of Qi Lanhong earlier.
Otherwise, Shen Ye wouldn't have found his way here.
Boss Yao was actually very panicked as well.
He knew Shen Ye, and he knew Ye Ze even better.
Ye Ze is the head of the Ye family. Although the Yao family is very rich, they are just nouveau riche and cannot be compared with the Ye family.
He approached Master Yin and said nervously, "Do you... do you have any way to deal with Mr. Ye and Master Shen?"
Those two were difficult to deal with, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope.
Master Yin's face darkened: "We can only give it a try."
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Wu Mengying who was beside him.
Shen Ye saw his movements and sneered: "Want to threaten me with hostages?"
At this time, the gate of the Wu family's courtyard was closed. Master Yin shouted through the iron bars, "Don't come over here. If you take another step forward, I will kill her immediately!"
Wu Mengying's face turned pale, but she was not afraid of Master Yin. She shouted, "Just kill me. I don't want to live anymore!"
She also knew Shen Ye, and seeing Qi Lanhong and Shen Ye coming here together, she guessed that it must be Qi Lanhong who asked Master Shen to save her.
She was particularly grateful for the kindness of Qi Lanhong and Shen Ye, but she had already lost hope and didn't want to live at all.
During this time, she kept begging her family to let her go, but her parents, for the sake of money and a house, sold her without caring about her life or death. Later, to prevent her from escaping, they locked her in a room and only gave her one meal a day, so that she would not have the energy to run away.
There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. Her parents' betrayal left her with no desire to live.
Chen Ye saw what she was thinking and said, "You are already eighteen years old and an adult. You can break off relations with your parents. As long as you are willing, I will help you, not just with money."
Wu Mengying opened her eyes wide and couldn't help feeling a little moved.
She had been studying peacefully for the past eighteen years and had never entered society. This time, she was sold by her parents. She felt like the sky had fallen and had no idea how she was going to survive.
Now that she had received Chen Ye's consolation and assurance, a glimmer of hope suddenly arose in her heart.
Chen Ye knew that she had the fighting spirit, and he felt relieved. He turned his gaze to Master Yin and said, "You are not my opponent, and you can't hurt Wu Mengying. If you release the person on your own initiative, I can reduce your pain. You should have heard of my methods. If you refuse to release the person, I have plenty of ways to torment you."
Master Yin stared at him with a gloomy face, saying nothing.
Shen Ye shrugged: “It seems that you are unwilling to let him go?”
Master Yin was of course afraid, he knew very well that he was no match for Shen Ye, and now the only way was to find a chance to escape.
Unfortunately, before he could take any action, Chen Ye threw three talismans on him, and he was frozen there, unable to move.
Shen Ye slowly opened the iron gate of the Wu family and walked in with his men.
Master Yin couldn't move or speak, and could only stare at Shen Ye with fear and resentment.
Shen Yecai ignored him, walked straight to Wu Mengying, and said, "Don't be afraid, everything is fine."
Maybe it was because Shen Ye’s tone was very gentle, Wu Mengying felt a piece of relief in her heart, and tears fell inexplicably.
Qi Lanhong quickly stepped forward to support her and said, "Don't be afraid, Master Shen is here, everything will be fine."
"Well, I believe Master Shen." Wu Mengying hugged her and cried, "Lanlan, thank you."
She knew that it must be Qi Lanhong who asked Master Shen for help, otherwise she didn't know whether she could survive tonight.
Qi Lanhong shook her head.
Shen Ye said: "Take her to the car to rest."
This is to isolate Wu Mengying and the Wu family.
Seeing this, the Wu family immediately shouted, "No, you can't take my daughter away!"
They had just accepted Boss Yao's money and house, and Wu Mengying was rescued. What if Boss Yao went back on his word?
Father Wu stood right in front of Qi Lanhong and tried to pull Wu Mengying away: "Come back here! You are not allowed to go anywhere!"
Wu Mengying was obviously very afraid of him. She shrank her shoulders and sobbed.
"Why are you crying?" Father Wu scolded impatiently, "Go back to your room right now! Don't come out without your mother and I's permission!"
After saying that, he signaled to Wu's mother to take Wu Mengying back to the room.
Wu Mengying hugged Qi Lanhong's arm in fear.
Qi Lanhong looked at Shen Ye for help.
Chen Ye directly asked the Ye family's bodyguards to take Wu's father and mother away, and then protect Wu Mengying and Qi Lanhong.
"Are you qualified to be parents? Even animals would not harm their own children." He sneered and scolded Wu's father and mother.
Wu's father and mother were very unhappy: "How can you say that! Is it wrong for us to discipline our own daughter?"
In their hearts, children are their private property. They can do whatever they want with them. Outsiders have no right to interfere. Even the country cannot interfere with parents’ disciplining of their children!
Chen Ye snorted coldly: "What a beast! Do you know that if your daughter enters into a ghost marriage tonight, she will die tomorrow!"
Wu's father and mother avoided looking at each other.
"How is that possible? You are talking nonsense!" Father Wu said angrily.
Shen Ye stared at him: "What if your daughter really will die? Or do you want your daughter to have a ghost marriage?"
Father Wu stiffened his neck and said, "How could he die? Don't scare me. I won't be fooled!"
But there was no regret on his face. It was obvious that even if he watched Wu Mengying die in front of him, he would not give up the house and money.
This was not the first time that Shen Ye had seen such a beast who disregarded the lives of his children, but when he saw Wu's father's face at this time, he was still very angry.
At this time, the sun was about to set and the sunlight in the yard gradually became dim.
Because just now Chen Ye and Ye Ze's car drove all the way into the village, plus Mayor Wang and others also came, many people in the village came to watch the fun.
Everyone was quietly discussing the Wu family's affairs.
Before, everyone had vaguely heard that the Wu family sold Wu Mengying and asked her to enter a ghost marriage in exchange for several million and a house.
After all, everyone lived in the suburbs of the imperial capital. While there were inhumane parents like the Wu family, there were also enlightened and law-abiding parents. Many people in the village disapproved of Wu Mengying's ghost marriage and even advised Wu's parents not to do such a wicked thing.
But Wu's father and mother thought that everyone was jealous of their benefits and drove everyone away.
Now, after hearing Shen Ye say that Wu Mengying's life is in danger, some straightforward aunties couldn't help but stand up -
"Little Master, please save Mengying. This pitiful child is Mengying."
"Her parents favor boys over girls, often beating and scolding her, and giving all the good things to her brother. We can't stand it anymore!"
"If it weren't for this child's good grades, and the high school principal personally came to the Wu family to invite her and waive all tuition and miscellaneous fees, the Wu family would definitely not send her to high school."
"But I heard Mengying didn't do well in the college entrance exam. Her brother threw cold water on her before the exam and she caught a cold. No one in her family cares about her..."
