A whirlwind marriage with a high-ranking official: Lights out, don't force me to take the initi

Ye Wenxi took out gloves from her bag and put them on as she walked.

She found out that a state-owned cloth factory had a store, and planned to go there again today.

I hadn't gone far from the residential compound when I suddenly heard the screeching sound of a car screeching to a halt behind me.

She didn't pay attention at first.

But the next second, a certain intuition suddenly seized her.

Ye Wenxi suddenly turned around and looked at the car.

The black car brushed past her in an instant.

But in that instant, she saw Lu Weidong sitting in the passenger seat.

Her heart felt like it was being squeezed, and a chill suddenly crept up her spine.

Ye Wenxi could no longer care about going to the cloth factory and turned around to run back.

She ran all the way home, and when she pushed open the door, she was still a little out of breath:

"Dad, Mom! I think I saw Weidong!"

"He must have gone back to Harbin..."

-----------------

A black sedan was parked in the courtyard of a bungalow on the outskirts of the city.

The room was small and didn't look like it was usually inhabited; the air was filled with dust and a musty smell.

Lu Weidong, Jiang Dayong, and two acquaintances they brought were all standing in the room, looking at Xu the Cripple sitting on the ground.

Lu Weidong took off his leather gloves and casually tossed them onto the old wooden table beside him.

He raised his eyes and his gaze fell on Xu the Cripple's face.

"What were you trying to do outside the family compound just now?"

Xu the Cripple shrank his neck, his eyes darting around, still trying to play dumb.

"Huh...what? I was just passing by."

Lu Weidong didn't reply, he just looked at him.

After a few seconds, he finally spoke:

"Xu the Cripple, I'll only ask you this once."

"Tell them everything about your plans and what they told you."

Xu the Cripple looked up at Lu Weidong and forced a smile:

"Son-in-law, it's just the two of us... Ouch—!"

Before he could finish speaking, a man next to him kicked him to the ground.

"Stop talking nonsense, or I'll kick you."

Xu the Cripple struggled on the ground for a long time before finally getting up. His face was deathly pale, and a layer of cold sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

These people are really daring to take action.

He stretched out his hand, trembling, and waved it at the group:

"No, don't hit me... I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?"

Where should I begin...?

Jiang Dayong clicked his tongue impatiently and took a step forward:

"Tell me everything that happened from the moment we met until now, without missing a single detail!"

Xu the Cripple nodded repeatedly, swallowed hard, and began to speak:

"The day after you left, a strange young man showed up..."

He recounted how someone came to his door, how he was brought back, and how they questioned him.

But he didn't mention his own meticulous plan at all.

After listening, Lu Weidong immediately seized on the part he hadn't mentioned:

"You didn't say why you're going to see her today."

"If we hadn't stopped you, what were you planning to do?"

Xu the Cripple was stunned, his eyes visibly wavered, and the words stuck in his throat.

"I... I just wanted to ask her for some money to spend." His voice trailed off, and he avoided eye contact.

His plan to approach Ye Wenxi today was actually to lure her to a pre-arranged location and hand her over to human traffickers waiting there.

He had even thought of what he would say.

They said they had evidence that she had stolen that drug back then.

He told her to come with him.

"Pay some money, and this matter will be settled."

He said he didn't want to offend either side, and only planned to take money from both her and the human traffickers before slipping away.

Xu the Cripple's story not only suited his greedy nature but also gave him leverage over Ye Wenxi.

He was confident that he could trick people away today.

Unexpectedly, they were intercepted by Lu Weidong halfway there.

The people in the room could tell from his evasive eyes that he wasn't telling the truth.

Lu Weidong walked up to Xu Mancang and squatted down.

"Xu Mancang..." His voice was low and cold.

"Do you think that just because I'm a soldier, I won't touch you?"

"Do you think I'd hesitate to act because of my status?"

He reached out and placed his palm lightly on Xu the Cripple's good leg.

My hand didn't exert any force, nor did it move away; it just hung there, like a heavy piece of iron.

Xu Mancang froze, his clothes soaked with cold sweat.

But what terrified him even more than the hand on his leg was Lu Weidong's imposing aura.

That wasn't the bravado of a street thug, nor was it the anger of an ordinary person when provoked.

Xu the Cripple looked as if he were being targeted by a hunting rifle through the grass.

A thought suddenly popped into his head:

This kid... he's really killed someone.

Lu Weidong's palm pressed down gradually, the force was not heavy, but it was enough to make one's bones feel cold.

Xu Mancang gasped for breath, his mental defenses completely crumbling.

"No! No, no! I'll tell you everything!"

Xu Mancang was panting heavily, his chest heaving violently.

He wanted to make up another version of events in those few seconds.

My brain feels completely empty; all the cleverness I had yesterday seems to have been used up.

No matter how I thought about it, I couldn't come up with a lie that could fool these people.

Lu Weidong straightened up.

This one action startled Xu the Cripple, and the words rushed out without him even thinking.

"I know she took that drug! That's the evidence they need!"

"Go on," Lu Weidong said, his voice devoid of emotion.

Xu the Cripple knew that there was no way out now.

He revealed his entire plan to "eat from three different places".

"Fuck you!"

After Xu the Cripple finished speaking, Jiang Dayong could no longer contain his anger and kicked him.

"I fucking want to kill you, you old bastard!"

"Dayong." Lu Weidong called out to him and then walked outside.

Lu Weidong gestured for Jiang Dayong to come to his side.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Dayong followed over.

"You guys go ahead, I'll watch over him alone."

"Damn! You're telling me this?"

Jiang Dayong frowned.

"Isn't the plan to lure all those few over here and wipe them out in one fell swoop?"

"What, am I in your way?"

Jiang Dayong knew perfectly well what Lu Weidong was planning next.

We should rely on Xu the Cripple to lure out the people behind us, and ideally, we should be able to draw out Su Ran.

At the very least, we need to find that "colleague" to be a witness.

This matter will inevitably lead to a confrontation with the Su family, resulting in a physical altercation and a complete breakdown in relations.

Lu Weidong looked at him, wanting to say something more.

"no...."

Jiang Dayong interrupted him directly: "If it's not true, then don't say it! Why are you bringing this up with me?"

"If you hadn't saved me back then, I would have been fucking dead by now."

"If you bring this up again, I'll really get angry!"

Before Lu Weidong could say anything more, the sound of a car engine suddenly came from outside the bungalow.

Judging from the sound, it sounds like a jeep.

The vigilance and battlefield reflexes honed over the years made Lu Weidong and Jiang Dayong tense up almost simultaneously.

Jiang Dayong stepped back into the house and gave his two brothers a wink.

Everyone fell silent instantly.

The sound of a car parking can be heard outside the bungalow.

Several people got out of the car. Judging from the sound of the door closing, at least four people had come.

The footsteps gathered towards the door of the bungalow and paused for a moment outside.

"It should be here," a strange male voice said.

Immediately afterwards, a series of hurried footsteps rushed toward the door—

"Bang bang bang bang!"

A loud banging on the door was followed by a woman's voice, barely concealing her anger:

"Lu Weidong! Come out here!"

That voice is so familiar.

Lu Weidong was taken aback: "...Wenxi?"
