Chapter 157 You Big Fool
Chapter 157 You Big Fool
Su Yingxue hugged Tan Zhengchu tightly, tears streaming down her face, and cried out, "You big fool, why did you risk your life to save me?"
Her voice carried a hint of reproach and endless heartache.
Su Yingxue raised her head, her eyes filled with sadness: "I swear, I must catch Wei Hao and I will not let anything happen to you."
Just then, Xiao Qi and Lao San walked into the room.
Xiaoqi's eyes were filled with sadness when she saw Su Yingxue and Tan Zhengchu hugging each other intimately.
She ran over and hugged their legs, saying in a childish voice, "Daddy, Mommy, Xiaoqi was so scared, thank goodness you were here."
Xiao Qi's words startled Su Yingxue and Tan Zhengchu slightly, and the two slowly released each other.
Su Yingxue quickly wiped away her tears, trying her best to appear strong in front of the child.
She gently patted Xiaoqi's head: "Xiaoqi, don't be afraid, Mommy is here."
Su Yingxue's thoughts drifted back to the matter of Tan Zhengchu being injected with the virus.
Her mood grew heavier, her brows furrowed, and her eyes were filled with worry.
Meanwhile, Xiaoqi played carefree on the side.
Her happiness contrasted sharply with Su Yingxue's sorrow.
Suddenly, Zhao Da Kuang walked in.
He immediately saw the warm scene between Emperor Yueye, Su Yingxue, and Xiao Qi, and a strange sense of familiarity welled up in his heart.
He couldn't help but wonder to himself, "Why are Emperor Yueye and Su Yingxue so close? Could it be that I've been misunderstanding something all along?"
However, he quickly stepped forward and sincerely said to Tan Zhengchu, "Thank you, Emperor Yueye, for saving Su Yingxue and Xiaoqi. I will remember this kindness."
Tan Zhengchu frowned slightly and rebuked him with a serious expression: "Zhao Da Kuang, your guards are too lax. You let people break in so easily, almost causing a disaster."
Zhao Da Kuang's expression changed slightly, and he was extremely dissatisfied with the guard's negligence. He gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation."
A ruthless glint flashed in Zhao Da Kuang's eyes. He loudly ordered Zhao Er, "Go, give those guards a flogging, so they'll learn their lesson!"
Upon hearing this order, Zhao Er's body trembled slightly, for he knew all too well the cruelty of whipping.
When the whip strikes a person, it instantly tears the skin and flesh, each strike feeling like being burned by fire, causing unbearable pain.
He was so afraid because he himself had experienced the punishment of being whipped.
In the Mad Gate, the severity of the caning punishment is notorious. Once someone has been subjected to it, no one dares to make a mistake again. The entire room is shrouded in an atmosphere of tension and fear.
At this moment, Zhao Da Kuang asked anxiously, "Moonlight Emperor, is your weapon ready?"
His eyes were filled with anxiety, because he had just been attacked by a group of unknown people and urgently needed the latest weapons to enhance his defense and counterattack capabilities.
Tan Zhengchu remained calm and said unhurriedly, "Don't worry, this batch of weapons will arrive soon."
Afterwards, Tan Zhengchu and Zhao Dakuang prepared to go out and headed to test the weapons together.
However, Zhao Dakang was completely unaware that Tan Zhengchu's men had secretly infiltrated his manor and launched a deadly attack, destroying important goods and weapons warehouses within the manor.
Tan Zhengchu tidied his clothes and prepared to leave with Zhao Dakuang.
Seeing this, Su Yingxue was filled with worry. She quickly stepped forward and said, "Zhengchu, you're not well yet, you can't go."
Tan Zhengchu gently patted her shoulder: "Yingxue, I know what I'm doing."
Su Yingxue bit her lip, realizing that impulsively stopping her might backfire, so she had no choice but to endure it for the time being.
Xiao Qi tugged at Su Yingxue's sleeve and whispered, "Mommy, where did the bad guys go?"
Her little face was filled with fear.
Su Yingxue squatted down and looked at Xiaoqi gently: "Xiaoqi, don't be afraid. With Uncle Tan here, everything will be safe."
The third brother stood ramrod straight at the door, like a solid fortress. He firmly promised, "Madam, rest assured, I will definitely protect you and Miss Xiaoqi."
As he spoke, the third brother took out a cell phone from his pocket and handed it to Su Yingxue: "Madam, you can use this cell phone to contact the outside world."
Su Yingxue took the phone, her fingers trembling slightly as she dialed A Qian's number.
When A-Qian saw an unknown number calling, she didn't want to answer, but the phone kept ringing.
In the end, Ashen pressed the answer button.
Upon hearing the call connect, Su Yingxue said nervously, "Aqian, it's me, Yingxue. I'm in big trouble right now, you have to help me."
Zhao Da Kuang's manor was in complete chaos, with flames shooting into the sky and people fleeing in all directions.
Tan Zhengchu's infiltration and attack turned the entire manor into a boiling pot of water, with danger and unease permeating every corner.
Su Yingxue paced back and forth in the room, worried about Tan Zhengchu's health and also afraid for her and Xiao Qi's safety.
She gripped her phone tightly, desperately seeking help from Ashen, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.
A-Qian's hesitation on the other end of the phone made Su Yingxue even more nervous.
Even though A-Qian finally answered the phone, Su Yingxue's anxiety remained as turbulent as a tide, showing no signs of abating.
After A-Qian saw that the caller ID showed it was Su Yingxue, she realized...
She breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled softly, "Yingxue, I'm so glad I got your call. I was so worried."
"By the way, did Tan Zhengchu find you?"
Knowing that Su Yingxue was safe and hearing that Tan Zhengchu was with her and that Lao San was also there, A Qian felt somewhat relieved.
She said slowly, "When the third brother went to Myanmar to meet Tan Zhengchu, I was always on edge."
"However, given Tan Zhengchu's abilities, I doubt he would ever put you in danger."
Su Yingxue's voice was somewhat panicked: "Aqian, Wei Hao injected the virus into Tan Zhengchu's body."
Upon hearing this, A-Qian's face instantly stiffened.
Knowing this was no small matter, she hurriedly said, "Yingxue, you must bring Tan Zhengchu back as soon as possible. I will immediately arrange for the best doctors in Pengcheng to examine him thoroughly and see if we can find a solution."
Su Yingxue could hear the anxiety in A Qian's words.
But A-Qian continued, "I haven't seen Tan Zhengchu's actual condition, so I really can't say whether he can be cured."
A-Qian did not give a definite answer, which made Su Yingxue even more uncertain.
She was extremely anxious and secretly resolved to bring Tan Zhengchu back as soon as possible.
Su Yingxue paced back and forth in the room, her anxiety evident.
Little Qi tilted her head back and asked in confusion, "Mommy, why are you always walking?"
Su Yingxue forced a smile and brushed off Xiao Qi's innocent question.
But this only strengthened her resolve to take Tan Zhengchu home for treatment.
