Chapter 154 Misjudged Him

Seeing Zeng Gongfeng's appearance, Mrs. Zeng was furious. If it weren't for trusting Zeng Gongfeng, how would they have agreed to let him escort Xi'er home alone? Now, Xi'er was attacked on the way! From Lin Weidong, Mrs. Zeng and Mr. Zeng also learned that when danger approached, Zeng Gongfeng had sealed several major acupoints on himself to prevent the poison from spreading. When Xi'er was poisoned, Zeng Gongfeng, for fear of his own acupoints being broken, did not take any measures. By the time Xi'er was rescued back to the new recruit training base, he was already severely injured and on the verge of death from poisoning. If it weren't for Zhou Yu's all-out efforts to save him, what Mrs. Zeng and Mr. Zeng would have seen now would likely have been a corpse. This news enraged Mrs. Zeng, making her hate Zeng Gongfeng to the core! By a hair's breadth, Zeng Gongfeng had almost caused her and her son to be separated forever! "Not talking, are you that guilty?" Mrs. Zeng's face turned red. Perhaps it was the word "guilty" that finally elicited a reaction from Zeng Gongfeng. His dead fish eyes flickered, then looked towards Mrs. Zeng. His ashen face startled Mrs. Zeng. Could it be that Zeng Gongfeng had suffered some shock and become an idiot? Mrs. Zeng couldn't help but reflect. After all, Zeng Gongfeng had been an elder in their Zeng family for so long. Perhaps Lin Weidong was just trying to shirk responsibility when he said that, and Zeng Gongfeng hadn't actually done that. She shouldn't have questioned Zeng Gongfeng in such a tone... "I'm sorry, you should rest well." Mrs. Zeng sighed. It was clear that Zeng Gongfeng had also suffered a great blow, and it was not suitable to ask further questions. After Mrs. Zeng walked out of the ward, Lin Weidong was standing at the door and asked, "How is Zeng Gongfeng doing?" Thinking of Zeng Gongfeng's despairing look, Mrs. Zeng's heart softened. Towards Lin Weidong, she was naturally much less polite. "What do you think?" "Elder Lin, we sent our child to participate in the training primarily because we trusted you and the Dragon Group." "But now, as you can see, what has our Xi'er become!" Mrs. Zeng's voice was still filled with anger. Since Zeng Gongfeng was unresponsive and refused to speak, Mrs. Zeng's anger could only be directed at Lin Weidong! Lin Weidong twitched the corner of his mouth, "The new recruit training base is currently safe." "We never recommended anyone to withdraw from training on their own!" Mrs. Zeng, however, was relentless. Primarily, after receiving the news of Xi'er's accident, Mrs. Zeng's heart had been in turmoil, and she needed to vent her emotions. Moreover, Mrs. Zeng fundamentally believed that since Xi'er was at the new recruit training base, Lin Weidong should ensure his safety! To agree to Xi'er leaving when he knew there was danger outside, what was that? Intentional murder! At this moment, Mrs. Zeng had forgotten that it was Zeng Gongfeng himself who felt the danger and insisted on taking Zeng Xi'er away. Lin Weidong had initially disagreed, and it was Mr. Zeng who had personally called! "Furthermore, even if you agreed to Xi'er leaving, you didn't even send anyone to escort him!" Mrs. Zeng grew more and more angry, staring intently into Lin Weidong's eyes, her features contorted. Lin Weidong was even more speechless! It was the Zeng family who had refused escort from Dragon Group members, claiming suspicion that those who released the unknown creatures were among the Dragon Group. What was he supposed to do? "Since the toxins in both of you have been resolved, you should leave quickly." "This is Dragon Group territory and no loitering is allowed." Lin Weidong, with a dark expression, directly issued the eviction notice. In fact, given the condition of Zeng Gongfeng and Zeng Xi'er, continuing to stay at the new recruit training base to recover would have been the best option. Now, Lin Weidong didn't even want to see this family. They were simply a family of hooligans! First, they claimed the new recruit training base was dangerous and insisted on leaving. Then, they refused escort from Dragon Group members, claiming there were dangerous individuals within the Dragon Group. Now, they had gotten injured as they wished but blamed everything on the Dragon Group and Lin Weidong. Lin Weidong was truly disgusted by this family's behavior. Mrs. Zeng was incensed by Lin Weidong's words, and her whole body began to tremble. She raised her voice and argued with Lin Weidong at the ward door. "Given the current condition of Xi'er and Zeng Gongfeng, how can they leave? Aren't you too heartless!" "Besides, Xi'er hasn't returned home yet and is still considered a new recruit member. Are you just kicking them out like this!" Lin Weidong let out a hollow laugh. He had no intention of indulging this family anymore. He said directly, "Before they left, all the procedures were completed. Zeng Xi'er had already withdrawn from the training and is indeed no longer a member, so I have no responsibility to guarantee his safety!" "Either you pack your things and leave yourselves, or I will have Dragon Group members help you pack and leave!" Hearing Lin Weidong's words, Mrs. Zeng almost fainted. She had intended to argue further with Lin Weidong. At this moment, Mr. Zeng, hearing the commotion, came over. He overheard most of the conversation between Mrs. Zeng and Lin Weidong. He immediately grabbed Mrs. Zeng's arm and apologized to Lin Weidong, "Elder Lin, I apologize. Seeing Xi'er injured, my wife became a bit emotional." "We will pack up and leave now." "Could the Dragon Group arrange a few people to escort us?" Mr. Zeng was indeed someone who knew how to read the room. Not to mention that their family could not contend with the Dragon Group. Just being in this place was Dragon Group territory! Arguing with Lin Weidong would bring no benefit to the Zeng family! It was true that Zeng Xi'er had completed the withdrawal procedures, so he was no longer within Lin Weidong's scope of responsibility. Even when Zeng Xi'er was poisoned and brought back, Zhou Yu had no obligation to save him. The best outcome now was that the child was safe! Although Lin Weidong was displeased, if the Zeng family were to have an accident here, it would indeed be very troublesome. So he could only nod with a grim expression. Glaring at Mrs. Zeng, he turned and left. As for Zhou Yu, he simply couldn't be bothered to speak to this peculiar family. After Mrs. Zeng entered the ward, Zhou Yu left immediately! Mrs. Zeng looked at the empty corridor, her chest heaving with anger. "They simply don't take the Zeng family seriously!" Mrs. Zeng said angrily. "Enough!" Mr. Zeng reprimanded, then looked around. Confirming no one was nearby, Mr. Zeng said, "We'll discuss everything after we get back. At least Xi'er is out of danger now, and the Dragon Group can escort us away." "If you continue to make a scene, we might not even be able to leave this island!" Mrs. Zeng also knew that what Mr. Zeng said was the truth. To avoid danger, no matter how angry she was, she had to suppress it for now. If she angered Lin Weidong, their whole family might truly be abandoned in the perilous sea! What was the use of fighting for a moment's anger? Survival was paramount!
