Chapter 41. Leng Yuhe Went to the Front
As Su Zhiyou got closer to Su Ruoqing, she slowly pulled out her gun…
“Rupqing, what a coincidence.”
When hearing someone call Su Ruoqing, Su Zhiyou quickly put the gun back into her pocket and hid in a secluded place by the wall. She dared not move forward.
Su Ruoqing knew it was Mingzhe’s voice, but she pretended not to hear him and wanted to walk away quickly. However, she was stopped by Mingzhe.
“Ruoqing, I really didn’t expect to meet you here. It’s so great.” He approached her and wanted to help take her things enthusiastically. “I’ll send you to the place you want to go. After all ,we haven’t had a good chat for a long time.”
Su Ruoqing took a step back to dodge him. “Mr. Ming, I don’t want to bother you anymore, and we have nothing to talk about.”
Although Su Ruoqing showed an indifferent attitude, Mingzhe still felt that she looked so charming in this way. He stood motionlessly in front of her.
Su Zhiyou thought it was the right time and was about to take action. However, she didn’t expect that Mingzhe recognized her. After all, he loved her whole-heartedly back then. Even if she deliberately changed her dressing style, she was still recognized by him.
The moment she pulled the trigger, Mingzhe quickly pushed Su Ruoqing away and shouted, “Ruoqing, be careful!”
Perhaps because he was too anxious, he didn’t control his strength very well. His push caused Su Ruoqing to fall to the ground. Her head hit the ground and then she fainted.
Seeing that the bullet missed Su Ruoqing, Su Zhiyou turned around to run. When the guards behind them found that something was wrong, it was already too late. Therefore, they could only bring Su Ruoqing back to Leng Yuhe’s residence to let the doctor treat her carefully. The housekeeper knew that Leng Yuhe was fighting at the front, and after pondering for a while, he didn’t send someone to report this news to Leng Yuhe, for he was afraid it would affect the situation at the front.
Since Su Zhiyou didn’t finish the task given by Shen Nan, she didn’t want to go back. However, her parents were still under his control, so she could only find another way.
If the reason why Shen Nan let her hurt Su Ruoqing was that he wanted to disturb Leng Yuhe, perhaps she could find another method and stop rushing to kill Su Ruoqing. All she needed to do was to make Leng Yuhe believe that something really happened to Su Ruoqing.
After going back to Province S, Su Zhiyou told her idea to Shen Nan, and he thought in silence for a long time. “It’s a good idea. I’ll send someone else to carry out this task, and you don’t need to go out again. After I win the battle, I can help you get revenge.”
Shen Nan took control of several servants and guards at Leng Yuhe’s residence by bribing and threatening them. He ordered these people to report the same news to Leng Yuhe separately. The news was that Su Ruoqing suddenly had a disease and fainted on the street, and if she couldn’t be cured in time, she might die after a few days.
After he finished doing all these things, he still felt that he was not careful enough. Leng Yuhe was very smart, so these simple arrangements were not enough to fool him. Then Shen Nan sent someone to catch Adjutant Xu’s parents, so that he could threaten Adjutant Xu to be obedient to him. Although Adjutant Xu was unwilling to betray Leng Yuhe, he could not ignore his entire family’s safety.
At the border, the two armies were about to launch a war against each other. Under Shen Nan’s arrangements, the army of Province S had already prepared a large number of petrol bombs to attack Leng Yuhe’s army.
Fortunately, The sentinel found this situation timely. Although many of their tents and grains had been burned, most of the soldiers were uninjured.
“Commander, our plan of attacking the enemies by petrol bombs is not so successful. Their overall fighting power has not been weakened.”
Shen Nan had already expected this result, so he wasn’t too disappointed. “It’s okay. Just keep attacking them with bombs.”
“Commander, I’m a little confused. Why do we keep doing this meaningless thing since it has no effect?”
“My purpose is not to make it successful, but to provoke Leng Yuhe. Do you understand? No matter what method we use, I must make him personally go to the front to fight.”
Shen Nan showed a grim smile. Once Leng Yuhe went to the front according to his plan, the enemies would be in chaos with the help of his previous arrangements. At that time, they would definitely win the war.
The army of Leng Yuhe had strong fighting power, and the army of Province S had to retreat, but they still insisted on attacking the enemies’ encampments with fire. As a result, Leng Yuhe’s army had no place to sleep and no food to eat after retreating from the battlefield. Although new supplies were coming in, they could not withstand the constant fire attack.
As Shen Nan had expected, Leng Yuhe was a bit frustrated with the current situation and wanted to defeat the army of Province S as soon as possible.
“General, in your opinion, why did they do this?” Bai Chongxiu was still very calm. He showed no sign of being impatient, which made Leng Yuhe think more highly of him.
“I can’t figure out the reason for the time being, but I will definitely make them regret what they’ve done.”
When the next battle came, Leng Yuhe finally went to the front personally and fought alongside the soldiers.
People of Province S reported this situation to Shen Nan, and he was delighted. He hurriedly let the people he had arranged in Lengs’ villa to report Su Ruoqing’s situation to Leng Yuhe separately. If things went smoothly, he could win the war in three days. When he thought of this, a weird expression appeared on his usual elegant face.
“General, someone coming from your mansion is here to report.” At this time, Leng Yuhe had just defeated the army of Province S. He said, “Bring him over.”
“General, something bad happened. Madam was ill and she suddenly fainted on the street. The doctors said they didn’t know why.”
Leng Yuhe became anxious after hearing it, but in an instant, he calmed down. Ruoqing was always in good health. It was so strange that when he was fighting at the front , she suddenly fell ill and fainted. Moreover, the doctors in the mansion were the most capable ones. He didn’t believe that no one could cure her.
However, he didn’t expect someone to report the same news the next day.
“Adjutant Xu, this matter is too strange. I don’t believe it. Take a few people back and find out what happened.”
What Leng Yuhe did not expect was that Adjutant Xu, who had been loyal to him for many years, was now obedient to Shen Nan. After returning, Adjutant Xu arranged for other people to inquire about the situation on the street, and he went back to Leng Yuhe’s residence alone, preventing the news that Su Ruoqing was safe and sound from spreading.
“General, I’ve already returned to check the situation. Madam is indeed in a bad condition. The subordinates I sent to inquire about the witnesses on the street came back and told me that Madam had a few words with Mingzhe on the street and then suddenly fainted. She hasn’t woken up yet.”
Adjutant Xu looked so nervous when saying this. If it was at ordinary times, Leng Yuhe would definitely see his nervousness at a glance, but at this time, he was so concerned for Su Ruoqing. Besides, he trusted Adjutant Xu a lot, so he believed in his words without any doubt.
Leng Yuhe was so distressed that his eyes reddened. “Order the whole army to attack the enemies with all strength! We must completely defeat the enemies.” To get home soon, he could only speed up the war.
On the other side, Shen Nan got the news from Adjutant Xu. Suppressing his ecstasy, he implemented the last step of his plan.
“Send some people to Leng Yuhe’s army and spread the rumor that their reinforcements and supplies have been stopped by us and it’s still unknown when they will arrive. That’s why Leng Yuhe is fighting against us with all strength.”
Getting the order, the subordinate was about to leave. Shen Nan couldn’t rest assured, so he added, “Make sure it sounds real. Do you understand?”
Seeing the person in front of him nodded firmly, Shen Nan finally allowed him to leave.
Rumors grew like weeds, and soon everyone in Leng Yuhe’s army knew the “real” reason for their General’s sudden abnormal behaviour. Without supplies and reinforcements, they would die quickly. For a while, all soldiers in the army lost their morale.
Shen Nan finally got the opportunity he wanted, and he gathered all the troops to prepare for a fatal blow to Leng Yuhe’s army.
…
Mingzhe went to Leng Yuhe’s residence every day to see Su Ruoqing. He was stopped outside the gate by the guards every time, but he still didn’t give up.
“Madam, I don’t know if I should tell you something or not.”
“Please tell me. You don’t need to be so polite with me.”
“Mr. Ming waited outside the gate everyday. People who know about the situation can understand that it is his own problem. But those who don’t know the situation might say something to damage the reputation of you and the entire Leng family.”
After saying that, the housekeeper left, leaving Su Ruoqing alone to solve her problem.
After thinking for a while, she had to admit that although she did not want to see Mingzhe again, the housekeeper’s words made sense. Leng Yuhe was now fighting at the front, and now she could be seen as the master of this house. She made up her mind to make every effort to deal with these tricky things.
Finally, she decided to go out and see Mingzhe. She needed to make this thing clear to him.
“Ruoqing, you finally agreed to meet me.” Seeing Su Ruoqing going out, Mingzhe was very happy, thinking that his long-term persistence had finally moved her.
“Mingzhe, let’s find a place to have a good talk. I have something to tell you.”
The two of them found a cafe. Then they came in and sat down.
“Ruoqing, just say it. I will agree to anything.” Mingzhe tried his best to show his tenderness, hoping that she could fall in love with him again. In that case, he could win her heart back and improve his career through her current position. This was really a perfect plan.
Looking at the insincere man in front of her, Su Ruoqing felt annoyed. “Mingzhe, you should know my current identity. I hope you won’t pester me again.”
Hearing Su Ruoqing’s blunt refusal, Mingzhe didn’t feel discouraged and he continued to pester her.
Su Zhiyou happened to see the two of them sitting together.
Although Shen Nan prevented her from going out, he had no time to keep an eye on her since he was now at the front. In order to take revenge and get rid of Shen Nan as soon as possible, she sneaked out, but she didn’t expect to see such a scene.
Thinking that Mingzhe betrayed her when she was in her worst situation, Su Zhiyou blamed her misfortune on Su Ruoqing.
She raised the pistol and pulled the trigger.
However, being blocked by the glass, the bullet missed Su Ruoqing. She was startled by the sudden gunshot, and Mingzhe seized this opportunity to hold his beloved girl into his arms.
“Mingzhe, what are you doing? Let me go!”
Even though Su Ruoqing struggled, her strength couldn’t match that of a strong man. She failed to break free from his embrace.
Seeing that Su Ruoqing hadn’t been shot, Su Zhiyou was afraid that someone would find her, so she immediately hid under the coffee shop’s bar in a hurry. Watching the two people cuddling in front of her, she became so angry that she grabbed the camera on the bar and took a photo of them. Su Ruoqing and Mingzhe seemed to be hugging each other affectionately.
After taking the photo, she gave a lot of money to the waiter and said, “I’ll buy this camera.” Then she quickly ran away with the camera. ‘Son of a bitch! I’d like to see what you two will do next!’ she thought.
