Chapter 117 Repentance

Hearing Su Tianyu's instructions over the phone, Dai Quan nodded, "Okay, I understand. I've found the person, and I'll take care of it as soon as possible."

Su Tianyu said softly, "Okay, be careful."

After a brief chat, they hung up.

Dai Quan turned his head and immediately saw Hong Jie kneeling on the ground, kowtowing with tears streaming down her face. "We already have a child, Xiao Guang, please beg these people for me. Don't take him away, he really knows he was wrong!"

Hong Jie was terrified. She worried that once Jiang Jianjun was taken away, he would be executed.

She had seen the news that was trending in District One. Dozens of tons of narcotics, and so many lives on his hands… her man's small frame simply couldn't bear these burdens.

Especially now that she was pregnant, she cherished her current family and didn't want her future child to be without a father. The thought of those terrible things made her tremble with fear.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

To keep her man, Hong Jie, who was over forty, completely abandoned her dignity, each kowtow delivered with force. Soon, her forehead was covered in dust and showed bluish bruises.

Xiao Yu and the others felt a little sorry for her, but this wasn't the time to be softhearted. No one said a word.

Zheng Guang also felt a pang of sympathy and couldn't help but reach out to help the pregnant woman up. "Hong Jie, get up and talk…"

Hong Jie hugged his leg, pleading bitterly, "Really, I'm telling the truth! I'll show you the hospital's certificate, I'm really pregnant! Please, please help us…"

Seeing her like this, Dai Quan also frowned, turned his head, and cursed at Jiang Jianjun, "With your damn character, you were able to find a woman like this, you really struck gold!"

At this moment, Jiang Jianjun was pale with fright and trembling from their sudden arrival.

Zheng Guang glanced at him, his face gloomy as he said, "Because of you, we lost more than a dozen brothers. Xiao Huo, Nan Nan are gone. Lele lost a leg, and the remaining few are detained in The Dragon City Rises. If you don't show up, the matter can't be resolved, and everyone will be finished."

Hearing this, Jiang Jianjun was filled with remorse, his eyes red as he knelt down with a thud. "Bro… I really didn't know… I really didn't know it would be like this… I'm sorry to the brothers…"

Zheng Guang looked at him, and the past feelings resurfaced in his mind. He couldn't help but sigh, his voice hoarse as he said, "Jianjun, if there wasn't any other way, I wouldn't have come looking for you. Now we have to catch the person who turned you, so the remaining brothers can live."

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Jianjun bit his lip, reached out, and helped Hong Jie to her feet, brushing the dust off her clothes. At the same time, he said, "Sister, I caused this mess myself, I can't let others take the blame for me. I'll go with Guang-ge, you wait for me at home."

Hong Jie, tears streaming down her face, grabbed Jiang Jianjun's arm, wanting to say something.

Jiang Jianjun held her hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly, "Sister, if this matter isn't resolved, I can't live with you in peace. Those people will find me sooner or later."

Hong Jie didn't know what to say, she could only keep crying.

Jiang Jianjun hugged her tightly, turned around, and said to Dai Quan, "I'll go with you."

Dai Quan nodded and led everyone towards the door.

When he reached the door, Jiang Jianjun suddenly turned his head and looked at Hong Jie very seriously. "If I can come back, I'll live a good life with you."

After saying that, Jiang Jianjun turned his head, decisively followed the others out the door, and quickly left the apartment.

Hearing the receding footsteps, Hong Jie lost all her strength, slumped back down on the ground with a thud, and tears streamed down her face again.

They were already far away, leaving behind only two broken meal boxes on the floor, the soup flowing all over the place.

…

At the same time, in a high-end club in District One.

Looking at Yuan Biao, who had a smile on his face and was staring intently at Xiao Yan, Lü Zhen smiled and said, "Okay, you eat first. Xiao Yan, come out with me for a moment."

Xiao Yan was also a shrewd person and understood Yuan Biao's intentions. Her face immediately fell, and she seemed about to get angry.

Lü Zhen gently pulled her and whispered in her ear, "Come out, let's talk alone for a moment."

Xiao Yan shook off his hand, but Lü Zhen grabbed her waist and dragged her out.

Xiao Han sat to the side, feeling slightly awkward. Yuan Biao, however, had a rosy complexion and seemed unfazed, picked up his wine glass, and took another sip.

…

"Bang!"

The door of the private room was closed, and Lü Zhen pulled Xiao Yan into the corridor, leaning on her, with a gentle expression on his face. "Xiao Yan, don't be angry…"

"Don't touch me!"

Xiao Yan's face was gloomy as she pushed him away and questioned, "Lü Zhen, what do you mean by this?"

Lü Zhen said softly, "I need to use him."

"Use your ass!" Xiao Yan pointed at his nose and cursed without a smile, "I have shares in this place, I earn a lot, and the people I meet are no less important than you. Why should I do this for you? Lü Zhen, what kind of person do you take me for?"

Lü Zhen reached out and hugged Xiao Yan, letting her struggle in his arms, coaxing her in a very gentle voice, "This is very important to me… Xiao Yan, I know…"

…

Five hours later.

Lü Zhen glanced at his phone, walked through the corridor, stopped in front of a room, and took out his room card.

"Beep!"

The door was swiped open, and Lü Zhen hesitated slightly before stepping inside.

Inside the room, there was a scent of pittosporum flowers. Xiao Yan was naked, covered with a blanket, her hair disheveled, lying on a large bed with a dazed look in her eyes.

She was still a little confused, that she had actually done this, but there was no doubt that it definitely wasn't for money, because she didn't lack that.

Lü Zhen walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and reached out to tuck the blanket around Xiao Yan.

After a long silence, he lit a cigarette, feeling a little sorry and sincerely looking at Xiao Yan, he said, "Sigh, you've sacrificed too much for my work…"

Xiao Yan's eyes twitched, her gaze fell on him, and she gritted her teeth as she said, "I've been with you for eight years!! Shouldn't I have a title, even if it's unofficial? Only now I know, what kind of person I am in your eyes…"

"Don't say that!" Lü Zhen gently held Xiao Yan's hand, looked into her eyes, and said, "You have to believe me, I love you. It's just that at my stage…!"

Xiao Yan was speechless, pointed at the door, and cursed, "Love your ass, get out!"

…

A business car quietly drove along the streets of District One. On both sides of the road were towering skyscrapers, with neon lights flashing with colorful lights.

Dai Quan and the others sat in the car, everyone was silent, and no one spoke for a long time.

After a while, Zheng Guang turned his head to look at Jiang Jianjun and asked, "Do you still remember the person who contacted you in the beginning?"

Jiang Jianjun nodded without hesitation and said the person's identity, "I remember, his name is Lü Han."
