The military wife is pregnant and the tycoon, who has no heir, spoils her rotten.

Chapter 152 Rat Shit

"Hey, Gu Yun Shen, look, isn't that Lu Bei Ting? Who's the woman next to him?"

Qiao Sheng, who had just accompanied Gu Yun Shen into the auction house, was immediately drawn to Lu Bei Ting, who stood out in the crowd.

Her eyes widened, her face full of surprise and curiosity. She nudged Gu Yun Shen with her elbow and pointed in Lu Bei Ting's direction.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunshen couldn't help but look in the direction Qiao Sheng was pointing.

When he realized that the woman beside Lu Beiting was not Xia Zhi, a mocking smile appeared on his lips, and he coldly sneered, "Hmph, that's men for you."

Xia Zhi is pregnant right now, isn't she? I'm afraid some people couldn't stand the loneliness and went out to have an affair."

He had originally thought Lu Beiting was some kind of noble person, but now it seemed he was just an ordinary man.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sheng couldn't help but burst out laughing, her laughter tinged with schadenfreude: "I'm dying of laughter! I thought Xia Zhi and Lu Beiting were so loving, but now it seems Xia Zhi is still completely in the dark and knows nothing at all."

Gu Yunshen smiled as well. Everyone usually mocked him, so who would have thought that Lu Beiting would do something like this?

Just then, Jiang Wencheng, who had just arrived at the entrance of the auction house, overheard the entire conversation between the two.

He abruptly stopped, his expression instantly becoming extremely complex.

Not Xia Zhi?

Then why did he go in? He came here specifically for Xia Zhi.

There might be an ambush inside.

"Let's go." Jiang Wencheng said to the people around him with a furrowed brow and a gloomy expression.

Those who were lying in ambush watched helplessly as Jiang Wencheng stepped in with one foot, then quickly withdrew it, and then turned around and left.

"Damn it!" Seeing this, Qin Mingshan, who was hiding in the shadows, could no longer contain his anger. He cursed and rushed out with his men.

The group of people who had been lying in ambush outside immediately launched an attack when they saw the commotion inside.

Realizing something was wrong, Lu Beiting subconsciously turned around and his expression changed drastically. He immediately stood up.

At the same time, Zhang Yi ran towards him anxiously, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.

"Battalion Commander, the plan has been exposed," Zhang Yi said breathlessly, his voice filled with tension and anxiety.

Lu Beiting's face immediately turned cold, as if covered with a layer of frost, and his eyes revealed a dangerous aura: "What's going on?"

"It was Gu Yunshen and Qiao Sheng. They were talking at the door, but when the group heard that the person next to you wasn't your sister-in-law, they left," Zhang Yi quickly explained.

"Gu Yunshen." Lu Beiting gritted his teeth and squeezed out these three words.

He looked up and quickly scanned his surroundings, soon finding Gu Yunshen in a corner.

At this moment, he exuded a chilling aura of ferocity as he strode toward Gu Yun Shen.

"Tsk, Lu Beiting, you... uh."

Gu Yunshen looked at Lu Beiting walking towards him and originally intended to make sarcastic remarks, but before he could finish speaking, he was punched hard and knocked to the ground by Lu Beiting.

"Gu Yunshen, do you even know what you've done? Damn it!" Lu Beiting was furious and threw another punch.

"Zhang Yi, Gu Yunshen is obstructing military affairs. Take him away and deal with him according to the law," Lu Beiting ordered angrily. After speaking, he quickly turned and walked outside.

"You can't arrest us! We didn't know anything! Let me go!" Gu Yunshen shouted as he struggled, his face filled with resentment and anger. He had come to the city today to resell a batch of high-end cigarettes, but he had been arrested before he even started. He was truly unwilling to accept this.

Zhang Yi snorted coldly, a disdainful expression on his face: "Whose fault is it that you can't control your mouth? Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."

Zhang Yi took Gu Yunshen away without any mercy.

When Lu Beiting came out, the battle outside had already ended.

"Damn it, if I wasn't afraid of arousing even greater suspicion, I would have cleared this out long ago." Qin Mingshan leaned to the side, his face flushed with anger, panting heavily.

They finally figured out Jiang Wencheng's background and meticulously planned to capture him when he showed up. They thought they might be able to uncover more secrets from these people.

Unexpectedly, a surprise attack came along and all their efforts were in vain.

Chen Yao leaned against the side silently, looking at the furious Qin Mingshan, and comforted him with a smile: "It's not as bad as you think. At least we know that their biggest target this time is Xia Zhi, not Bei Ting."

Lu Beiting looked at the men whose mouths were stuffed with cloth strips, slowly walked to the two men, and said calmly, "It's alright, there's still a chance."

They're targeting Xiaxia simply for revenge, because she caused them significant losses.

"That's true. Your wife is quite capable. She killed several of their generals and even sent one back." Qin Mingshan's tone was tinged with admiration, but then he sighed regretfully, "It would have been much easier if your wife hadn't been pregnant."

Lu Beiting snorted coldly, his eyes revealing his dissatisfaction: "If you're incompetent, you're incompetent. Why blame my wife?"

After saying that, Lu Beiting turned around and went to find his wife.

Qin Mingshan and Chen Yao had no choice but to stay behind to handle the aftermath.

Lu Beiting walked into the room and saw Xia Zhi holding a water glass, taking small sips of water.

Hearing the noise, Xia Zhi instinctively turned around.

"How did things go?" Xia Zhi put down her water glass and asked with concern.

"Our plan was exposed when we ran into Gu Yunshen and Qiao Sheng," Lu Beiting said, sitting down next to her with a helpless expression on his face.

Xia Zhi paused in her drinking, clearly not expecting this outcome.

"Why are they in the city too?" Xia Zhi asked, frowning in confusion.

"I don't know, but what I do know is that they're all after you. We should be careful during this time," Lu Beiting said to Xia Zhi with a serious expression.

Xia Zhi looked over in surprise, then touched the tip of her nose.

It's true that one should always keep a low profile to ensure safety.

"It's okay, I'm here. I'll protect you." Lu Beiting gently hugged her.

Xia Zhi put down her cup and looked up at Lu Beiting: "Then let's go back. It's not good to stay in someone else's house forever."

"Mm." Lu Beiting helped her up, and the two walked outside together.

After returning to the Shen family, Xia Zhi took advantage of Lu Beiting's trip to take a shower and carefully took out her precious stone from a hidden corner, quickly placing it into her spatial storage.

After placing it, she looked around anxiously to make sure no one had discovered it before she breathed a sigh of relief.

After taking a shower, Lu Beiting glanced at Xia Zhi by the bedside but didn't notice anything amiss.
