"Brother, sob sob... why are you looking at me like that? Sob sob... I'm scared... Ah!"
Seeing his face flushed with anger, veins bulging on his forehead, Xiao Meiyan was terrified, tears streaming down like a broken string.
Xiao Cheng's fury surged to his head. He raised his hand and slapped her across the face, "You know fear now? Do you know you're courting death!"
He grabbed Xiao Meiyan by the collar and, with a ferocious expression, berated her, "That's Qing Mu Ye. No matter how little he loves Li Yun'er, he won't allow anyone to disrupt his wedding. Moreover, you're messing with his fiancée!"
Man proposes, God disposes.
Xiao Cheng originally thought this matter was someone plotting against Meng Jingwei, but he never expected the mastermind to be Xiao Meiyan.
Xiao Cheng, filled with anger, punched the car's steering wheel. His furious expression was like a raging lion, ready to devour Xiao Meiyan at any moment, making him terrifyingly intimidating.
After calming himself for a while, Xiao Cheng raised his hand and rubbed his temples. Looking at Xiao Meiyan, whose eyes were red from crying, he felt heartbroken.
He raised his hand and touched her reddened cheek, "Are you alright? Brother was... was too impulsive just now."
His words of comfort only made Xiao Meiyan cry harder. She buried her head in Xiao Cheng's embrace, hugging him tightly, "Sob sob... Brother, I'm scared... Am I going to die? Sob sob..."
Xiao Cheng hugged her and patted her back, sighing, "You are truly foolish. Old Madam Qing dreams of holding a grandson. This shows how much the Qing family values the child in Li Yun'er's womb. You are courting death!"
"Sob sob... I like Qing Mu Ye. I just didn't want Li Yun'er to marry him. I didn't think that far..."
Xiao Meiyan, with her single-track mind, confidently believed that the Xiao family had a place in Lancheng. Even if Qing Mu Ye knew she had caused the death of Li Yun'er's child, he wouldn't do anything to her.
But now, the situation was that the video was of Li Yun'er being assaulted, and it was being played publicly at the wedding.
At today's wedding banquet, many distinguished businessmen and celebrities were present. If someone hadn't intervened in time, the scene of Li Yun'er being assaulted would have been directly broadcast to all the upper-class guests, causing the Qing family to lose all face.
Fortunately, the wedding venue was highly confidential, and no entertainment reporters were allowed. Otherwise, the Qing family would likely have been greatly affected.
However, even so, if Qing Mu Ye found out about Xiao Meiyan's actions, he might think the Xiao family was using this opportunity to attack the Qing family, make them a laughingstock, cause their stock prices to fall, and incur immeasurable losses.
If news reporters had infiltrated the wedding today and the news was exposed again, in a more serious light, it could be considered that the Xiao family was sparing no effort to bring down the Qing family!
"Qing Mu Ye will definitely watch the entire video. It's only a matter of time before he knows the truth. What you need to do now is to find those people immediately."
Xiao Cheng said.
Listening to him, Xiao Meiyan straightened up, wiping away her tears with a tissue, and nodded vigorously, "Yes, Brother, we... we finally thought of the same thing."
She choked and sobbed continuously, her shoulders occasionally trembling.
"Yes, you're not entirely foolish." Xiao Cheng nodded with relief and said solemnly, "Once you find them, hand them over to me. I'll immediately buy you a plane ticket abroad so you can lie low."
"Thank you, Brother. But... you don't need to deal with them. I've already handled it."
"H-what did you say?"
Xiao Cheng looked utterly stunned.
"Murder to silence. Only when they're dead will no one know it was me. I've already sent people to sink the person who secretly infiltrated the wedding to play the video, and those who assaulted Li Yun'er, into the sea."
After speaking, a proud smile bloomed on Xiao Meiyan's tear-streaked face.
However, as she smiled, she noticed Xiao Cheng's expression was wrong. Xiao Meiyan's smile gradually receded, and her facial expression became rigid.
"Brother, wh-what's wrong?"
"Are you an idiot? You're asking me what's wrong?"
Xiao Cheng felt his brain instantly flood with blood from anger. He grabbed Xiao Meiyan by her collar and raised his hand again, intending to slap her. But when his hand was ten centimeters from her cheek, he stopped himself.
He clenched his open palm into a fist and smashed it onto the dashboard, immediately creating an indentation.
Xiao Meiyan had never seen Xiao Cheng this furious.
Then, he picked up his phone and made a call, telling the person on the other end to send Xiao Meiyan's passport to the airport and booked the soonest flight to Country C. He drove to the airport and, on the way, instructed, "Once you get to Country C, don't contact home for the time being."
"Okay, I understand."
Xiao Meiyan once again realized her mistake, her body trembling with fear, and she dared not speak, only continuing to cry.
After a while, she cautiously asked, "Brother, will you... will you expose me to Young Master Qing to protect Meng Jingwei?"
Her question remained unanswered.
...
At the same time, Meng Jingwei, who had been forcibly put into a car, sat inside, obediently following the bodyguards.
However, the car hadn't gone far when another car suddenly crashed into the side of the one she was in.
"Brother, be careful."
The person in the passenger seat warned the man in the driver's seat.
Bang, bang, bang—
The car slowly drove on the road, with two cars on either side tightly pressing against the car in the middle.
Meng Jingwei, sitting in the back seat, was thrown about. Just as she was gripping the car seat tightly with both hands, the cars on both sides braked sharply, the piercing screech of the brakes irritating the eardrums, maddeningly so.
The car was forced to stop.
After they stopped, there were two cars on each side, and four cars in front and behind.
From their cars emerged foreign mercenaries dressed in camouflage uniforms and berets, wearing sunglasses, and getting out of the cars menacingly.
Eight bodyguards in suits and ties emerged from Qing Mu Ye's four cars, confronting the sixteen strong foreign mercenaries.
Who had sent these mercenaries?
Meng Jingwei couldn't figure it out.
Just as she sat in the car, waiting for the fierce confrontation between the twenty-odd people, the door of the car she was in suddenly opened.
"What are you waiting for? Get out quickly."
A familiar female voice rang out. Meng Jingwei glanced sideways and saw that the person was none other than... "Shu Yao?"
"Stop talking nonsense and get out of here with me."
Shu Yao pulled Meng Jingwei out of the car and then got into her red sports car.
The car started, made a cool U-turn, drove against traffic on the highway, and at the next intersection, entered the opposite lane.
Meng Jingwei looked through the rearview mirror at the group of people who were gradually disappearing from view, and asked again, "Who are these people? Why did you come to save me?"
"You saved me before, so now I'm saving you. It's only right."
Shu Yao tilted her head, pulled down her sunglasses on her nose, and smiled at her with a raised eyebrow.
