Chapter 438: Chapter 438: Dramatic Change in Style (Third Update)


Wang Yan nodded heavily: “Yes, just now we reached the third floor, a man named Xiao Ling, holding a fruit knife, took Miss Zheng Yutong hostage. For Miss Zheng’s safety, we had to withdraw from the villa.”


“Xiao Ling?” Zheng Guozhu looked shocked: “Didn’t I already agree to let him date Yutong? Why would he still take Yutong hostage?”


“President Zheng, it’s not hard to explain. Since your daughter and this Xiao Ling are in a relationship, this hostage situation is just a show to let the murderer Lin Fei escape.” At this moment, Wen Xiaojun, who was standing aside, said this while looking at Zheng Guozhu.


Zheng Guozhu had already noticed Wen Xiaojun and was quite puzzled as to why this Young Master Wen was at the Liu family villa.


Since the Zheng and Wen families often fought fiercely in the business world, Zheng Guozhu had no fond feelings towards the Wen family. Thus, he did not greet Wen Xiaojun even upon seeing him.


At this moment, hearing Wen Xiaojun’s words, Zheng Guozhu was skeptical. Liu Gang had called him, only saying there was a conflict between Liu Xuan and Lin Fei, with Lin Fei injuring Liu Xuan. Liu Gang never mentioned Lin Fei killing Liu Xuan.


So, Zheng Guozhu harbored doubts about what Wen Xiaojun had said and asked, “I didn’t expect to see Young Master Wen here? You just mentioned Lin Fei killed Liu Xuan, how did that happen?”


“President Zheng, Liu Wei got drunk at my bar, so I brought her back and happened to see Mr. Liu murdered in his room. At that time, Lin Fei was in Mr. Liu’s room. I heard Mr. Liu Gang say that Lin Fei injured Mr. Liu during the day and barged into Mr. Liu’s villa at night claiming to treat him, but unexpectedly ended up killing him.”


Although Zheng Guozhu didn’t believe Lin Fei would kill Liu Xuan, from all angles, Lin Fei indeed seemed highly suspicious.


However, Lin Fei had saved his father’s life, so he didn’t want Lin Fei to become a murderer.


Moreover, if Liu Xuan was really killed, the relationship and business cooperation between the Zheng and Liu families would undergo a drastic change.


This was something the Zheng family did not wish to see.


Zheng Guozhu looked at Liu Gang and asked, “Liu Gang, is it really as Young Master Wen said?”


Liu Gang thought for a moment and still spoke honestly: “In the young master’s room, both on the bed and the floor, although there was a lot of blood, Lin Fei told our young lady that the young master was not dead.


Our young lady was just about to enter the bedroom to check on the young master’s condition when a lot of police cars arrived, and the young lady was pulled away by Young Master Wen, so we don’t know if the young master is alive or dead?”


Zheng Guozhu nodded: “So, Liu Xuan might not be dead, and Lin Fei might not be the murderer?”


As the wealthiest man in Shencheng, Zheng Guozhu had weathered many storms and quickly identified the crux of the problem.


He then looked towards Wang Yan and said: “Director Wang, there might be a misunderstanding. Lin Fei just saved my critically ill father’s life today, and he’s been a benefactor to my Zheng family. How about I join you, and we first find out if Liu Xuan is dead?


If he’s not, we can ask him who tried to murder him, without wronging a good person or letting a bad one go.”


At this point, even if Wang Yan wanted to collude with Wen Xiaojun, he couldn’t, because the person standing before him, Zheng Guozhu, was the top tycoon of Shencheng, treated as an honored guest by the city’s mayor.


As the chief of the public security bureau, he dared not act recklessly and could only glance at Wen Xiaojun, clearly indicating that he could no longer help with what Wen Shao asked him to do.


Wang Yan said to Zheng Guozhu: “Everything as Mr. Zheng suggested.”


Zheng Guozhu nodded.


He then looked towards Wen Xiaojun and asked: “Young Master Wen, you said you brought Liu Wei back, why didn’t I see her?”


Liu Wei, the eldest daughter of the Liu family, was the intended bride for Zheng Wenbin, so of course Zheng Guozhu was concerned.


Wen Xiaojun said: “President Zheng, Liu Wei saw her brother murdered earlier, and the scene was too bloody and tragic, so I’ve had her taken to rest for now.”


“Where did she go?” Zheng Guozhu asked.


Wen Xiaojun replied: “I had her taken to my villa to rest for a while.”


Zheng Guozhu looked deeply at Wen Xiaojun, it seemed that the intel he received was correct, this Wen Xiaojun indeed intended to pursue Liu Wei.


It seems necessary to stop him from being with Liu Wei.


“Young Master Wen, the Liu family and my Zheng family are old acquaintances. I’ll have someone go to your villa to bring back Miss Liu to my Zheng family.” Zheng Guozhu said without waiting for Wen Xiaojun’s response. He then turned to Wang Yan and said: “Director Wang, let’s go in!”


“Alright, Mr. Zheng.” Wang Yan replied.


Zheng Guozhu and Wang Yan, accompanied by dozens of armed police, entered the villa, with Liu Gang and the Liu family’s experts close behind.


Clearly giving no face to Wen Xiaojun, making his expression turn grim, secretly fueling his anger: Zheng Guozhu, do you think because you’re the wealthiest man in Shencheng you can take Liu Wei from me?


You’re underestimating me, Wen Xiaojun.


Subsequently, Wen Xiaojun also followed them into the villa.


Villa room 6 on the 3rd floor.


Recalling Xiao Ling earlier using a fruit knife to hold Zheng Yutong hostage, all the armed police became exceedingly cautious.


However, seeing the tense expressions of the armed police, Zheng Guozhu appeared relaxed, ignoring Wang Yan’s attempt to stop him, and directly opened the door.


“Dad, you’re here!” A delighted voice of Zheng Yutong echoed in the room: “Come and have some fruit!”


Zheng Guozhu responded as he walked in.


Then, Wang Yan, Liu Gang, all the armed police, and the Liu family’s experts were stunned by the scene inside the bedroom.


On the bedroom sofa, Zheng Yutong was using a fruit knife to peel a plate of apples, while Xiao Ling was happily eating a slice of the peeled apple with a toothpick.


Moreover, Liu Xuan, who was originally lying motionless on the bed, was now sitting against the headboard, with Lin Fei, the doctor, patiently advising this patient: “Mr. Liu, you lost a lot of blood, you’ll need to eat more blood-replenishing foods like red dates, sea cucumber, and black beans… Besides that, you also need good rest to recover quickly…”


Wang Yan, Liu Gang, the armed police, and the Liu family experts were all so shocked their jaws almost dropped. How did it change within half an hour from Xiao Ling’s fruit knife hostage scenario with Zheng Yutong, a life-and-death scene, to a heartwarming and considerate scene of fruit cutting and doctor-patient care?


This made Wang Yan, Liu Gang, and the rest wonder whether they had walked into the wrong room.


The scene was so off!


Wang Yan, dumbfounded, walked into the bedroom, pointing between Xiao Ling and Zheng Yutong: “Weren’t you just involved in a hostage situation?”


However, Zheng Yutong looked confused at Wang Yan while peeling fruit and said: “Director Wang, what hostage situation?”


Wang Yan replied: “This Xiao Ling was using a fruit knife to hold you hostage!”


Zheng Yutong immediately placed the fruit knife against Xiao Ling’s neck with a smile and asked Wang Yan, “Director Wang, was it like this?”


Wang Yan quickly nodded: “Yes, yes, exactly like that!”


But Zheng Yutong’s next sentence nearly made Wang Yan stumble: “Director Wang, what a joke! Why would my boyfriend hold me hostage?”
