Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 522: Dead Either Way


Mrs. Xiao?

When did I become Mrs. Xiao?

Ling Ruoqiu's face was filled with dark lines. Whose "Mrs. Xiao" was she supposed to be? She didn't understand, nor did she know. She was still unmarried, alright? How did she suddenly become Mrs. Xiao? This plot seemed a bit amusing.

Zheng Haishan thought of Ling Ruoqiu eloping with Xiao Tianyu on their wedding day, so in his view, the relationship between Ling Ruoqiu and Xiao Tianyu wasn't ordinary. Otherwise, they wouldn't have both eloped.

Little did he know, all of this was caused by a car accident that hadn't had a chance to occur. If Xiao Tianyu hadn't run a red light and crossed the road recklessly, this whole situation wouldn't have happened.

"Director Zheng, could you clarify what you mean by 'Mrs. Xiao'?" Ling Ruoqiu couldn't help but speak up.

"..." Hearing this, Zheng Haishan showed a confused expression on his face. Does this even need to be explained? Are you really unaware, or are you just pretending to play dumb?

What does 'Mrs. Xiao' mean?

Are you really not connected to that Xiao Tianyu? If there's no relationship, would two people elope together? Moreover, he drove without a license for you, even ran into someone, and then disposed of Zhao Han.

Everything he did for you shows how deeply he cares, alright?

Zheng Haishan secretly resented, thinking to himself, this woman is really taking advantage and pretending to be innocent.

"Director Zheng, say something?" Seeing Zheng Haishan standing there silently, Ling Ruoqiu suddenly realized something and continued, "Are you talking about that guy? I'm supposed to be his 'Mrs. Xiao'?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Haishan glanced at Ling Ruoqiu as if saying, 'Does this even need to be explained?'

"Director Zheng, you've misunderstood. Between him and me, we're actually just acquaintances. There's really nothing between us..." Ling Ruoqiu quickly explained.

Pretend.

This woman can really pretend.

I'd like to see how long you can keep this act up.

Zheng Haishan scorned Ling Ruoqiu inwardly, thinking if it's just an acquaintance, would someone risk their life for you? Is that even possible? Anyway, in Zheng Haishan's eyes, Ling Ruoqiu was definitely Mrs. Xiao.

However, this matter was quite significant. Zheng Haishan had pretty much guessed Xiao Tianyu's identity, especially since Duan Yuan, the general manager of Celestial Universe Headquarters demanded a call. Who else but the legend of Celestial Universe would warrant Duan Yuan to personally make a call?

Thus, Zheng Haishan looked towards Chu Xin and shouted, "Why are you still standing there? Release them for me!"

Dear me, the Zhao Family isn't easy to provoke, but across the Ancient Martial Realm, who dares provoke Celestial Universe International?

Celestial Universe International controls the financial lifeline of the entire Ancient Martial Realm, not to mention it has terrifying Ancient Martial Artists in charge. The Zhao Family is nothing.

"Release them?" Chu Xin was still somewhat dazed.

"Not releasing them? Are we keeping them here for dinner?" Zheng Haishan shouted angrily. How could a woman as stubborn as this be his subordinate?

But after thinking it over, Zheng Haishan said, "Forget it, I'll just go myself!"

Saying so, Zheng Haishan left the surveillance room and headed towards the interrogation room, knowing that regardless, he had to settle today's matter personally. But as he approached the interrogation room, Zheng Haishan's legs began to tremble.

Others followed suit, looking puzzled at the scene. Who on earth was this person to make someone as esteemed as Zheng Haishan so cautious? Could it be Zheng Haishan's superior?

Looking back, Zheng Haishan wasn't even afraid of Zhao Yuanfeng from the Zhao Family; why would he be so scared of this guy? Isn't he just a traffic offender?

Others were confused, and so was Chu Xin. Isn't it supposed to be a relative?

Ling Ruoqiu was completely speechless.

Soon, everyone arrived at the interrogation room's entrance, including the Ling couple who had been beaten. However, to them, no matter how terrifying Xiao Tianyu's background was, he couldn't compete with the Zhao Family.

So Ling Zhenyuan grabbed Ling Ruoqiu's hand, snorted coldly, "Let's go to the Zhao Family and apologize!"

"I'm not going!" Ling Ruoqiu's beautiful eyes shimmered.

"If you don't go, you're not my daughter!"

"Hehe~ Thank you, President Ling, for setting me free!" Ling Ruoqiu sneered sarcastically, showing no respect on her face. From the moment Ling Zhenyuan treated her as an object and gave her to the Zhao Family, their relationship was already severed.

"You..."

"Everyone shut up!" Zheng Haishan roared, dear me, this old guy is spreading chaos again.

"Zheng Haishan, let me remind you, I'm disciplining my daughter, which doesn't seem illegal, right?" Ling Zhenyuan snorted coldly, feeling quite aggrieved after being slapped twice by Zheng Haishan.

"Educate your daughter at home. This is a government facility. If you dare to speak again, I'll shoot you!" With that, Zheng Haishan even pulled out a pistol and aimed it at Ling Zhenyuan's head.

He was stunned.

Witnessing this scene, Ling Zhenyuan was thoroughly stunned. Would Zheng Haishan really dare to shoot?

Ling Zhenyuan coldly said, "You're a law enforcer. I haven't committed a crime. I don't believe you'd dare to shoot me!"

"I wouldn't dare!" Zheng Haishan retorted, "But, if the gun accidentally fires, I wouldn't know!"

"You..."

"Get lost!" Zheng Haishan shouted, kicking Ling Zhenyuan to the ground.

Then Zheng Haishan spoke to Ling Ruoqiu, "Mrs. Xiao, would you like to accompany me inside?"

Zheng Haishan was playing his own game, hoping that as long as Mrs. Xiao spoke kindly about him to Xiao Tianyu, large issues could become small and small issues could disappear.

Is it really necessary to be this afraid? Is that guy your ancestor? Ling Ruoqiu resented silently in her heart.

"Since you're already at the door, why not come in?" At this moment, a chilly voice echoed from inside the interrogation room.

Bam~

Upon hearing this, Zheng Haishan's legs went weak, almost collapsing to the ground. So, Xiao Shao was already aware of everything. What's to be done? Someone check if my head is still attached to my neck?

Thinking this, Zheng Haishan shouted at Chu Xin, "Open the door already!"

Chu Xin was unfairly upset, feeling extremely wronged. She was conducting official duties. Was there anything wrong? Why was Director Zheng being harsh towards her?

Nonetheless, despite her thoughts, she obediently opened the door. Xiao Tianyu's deep gaze slowly lifted, scanning Chu Xin for a moment before landing on Zheng Haishan, making him feel as though he was in an icehouse.

The reason was simple: Xiao Tianyu's gaze was mind-blowingly cold, like the depths of winter.

Ling Ruoqiu looked at Xiao Tianyu with handcuffs on his wrists, a trace of frustration appearing in her eyes. Why was Zheng Haishan so afraid of this guy? Could he be a second-generation official, a son of some chief?

"Come in," Xiao Tianyu's voice was chilly.

Hearing Xiao Tianyu's words, Zheng Haishan wiped his cold sweat while swallowing hard. Should he go in or not?

Going in or staying out both mean death, better to go in.

Why did I have to deal with this?
