Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 921: Chapter 921: Determination

Zeng Zhenqing grabbed Su Yuanyuan’s arm, ”Alright, haven’t eaten yet, have you?”

Chengzi separated Zeng Zhenqing’s hold. He stood firmly by Su Yuanyuan’s side.

Zeng Zhenqing wasn’t angry. ”Xiao Su, sit down and eat. Business is business.”

”Chengzi, you and Secretary Qian go out for dinner.” Su Yuanyuan sat down after speaking, still sending Chengzi away, which wasn’t good for him.

Lu Chengmin continued to sit on the side eating. He didn’t get involved, as he had recognized this was Xiao Su’s sensitive spot, and saying anything might estrange Xiao Su from him.

”You’re too arrogant.”

Su Yuanyuan smiled, ”Haha, I’ve always been like this. My arrogance is to protect myself, to protect what I care about.

What? Can’t stand it? Fine, as I said, I’m ready anytime.”

”Xiao Su, try the meatball soup, it’s quite fresh. I finally understand why you eat this, it’s delicious.” Lu Chengmin said with a smile, wondering if they would ever have a peaceful meal, thinking Li Changsheng was being foolish.

This matter had nothing to do with him; was bearing it useful?

If it really blew up, the person above would inevitably have to step in. Why be so foolish?

”Chengzi, take some people and arrest Shi Jianming, and send him directly to the garrison.”

”Yes.” Chengzi left with large strides.

”Su Yuanyuan, there’s no right to make arrests like this.”

”Go ahead and report me. I’m making the arrest anyway.”

”Qin Zhiyuan, go give Chengzi a warrant.” Zeng Zhenqing spoke.

Qin Zhiyuan hurried out to catch up with Chengzi.

Now there was silence in the room. Lu Chengmin sighed. If things continued like this, it would only get more chaotic.

”Old Zeng.”

”This girl has been with me doing this since she was young. Can I just watch her get bullied? It’s fine, I’ll take responsibility for everything. If I can’t, we’ll just head home together.” Zeng Zhenqing said nonchalantly.

”Leader, it’s alright. I can handle it.”

Zeng Zhenqing shook his head, ”No need, it’s always you bearing it alone. This time I’ll cover for you. I want to see who dares to step out. If I can’t protect the brothers who’ve been through life and death with me, what’s the point of my job?

After all, my position has been coveted for more than just a day or two, so this works out fine.

You don’t have the right to make arrests, but I do. Don’t worry.”

”What are you two talking about? Are you going to eat or not?”

At that, both Zeng Zhenqing and Su Yuanyuan stopped talking and picked up their bowls to eat.

Li Changsheng didn’t expect it to turn out like this. He genuinely didn’t want to get involved, but now there was no choice.

”Secretary Jiang, go find someone to stop this.”

Secretary Jiang had a headache because Qian Zhifeng and Secretary Wu were already blocking him.

”You all have gone too far.” Li Changsheng was furious.

But Secretary Jiang truly couldn’t get out.

”Old Li, how did you become like this? Do you really think it will benefit you in the future? Do you really not know what Shi Hong wants? Do you think it’s possible?”

Li Changsheng looked at Lu Chengmin in shock. How did he know?

”You’re curious how I know? Actually, not only I know, but the one above knows too. Old Zeng also knows.”

”Why?”

Although Li Changsheng’s question was vague, Lu Chengmin knew what he was asking.

”A jumping clown.”

At that, Li Changsheng seemed like a deflated balloon, suddenly wilting.

”Alright, why are you getting involved in this? Do you see anyone else besides yourself in her hands? What are you thinking? Do you think she has a chance?”

Li Changsheng sighed, ”There’s nothing. I have no way out now.”

Now Lu Chengmin didn’t speak. This was a personal choice, and others had no reason to interfere.

”Why are you eating so little?”

”It’s too hot and I have no appetite.”

”Xiao Su. I’ll bring you a watermelon tomorrow; this is one I personally grew.” Lu Chengmin continued to smile.

”Thank you, leader. I’ll leave now. There’s an important meeting in the afternoon.”

Lu Chengmin and Zeng Zhenqing nodded, watching Su Yuanyuan leave. Now, only the three of them remained in the room.

”Old Li. Why did you get involved?”

Li Changsheng lowered his head, ”Do you have any wine?”

”This is an office, I don’t drink here. You shouldn’t either. I have things to do in the afternoon.”

”Old Lu, how did things turn out like this? I obviously didn’t want this. But how did it come to this?”

”It’s not too late now.”

”It’s too late, I’m already deep in.”

”Then are you prepared for your whole family to bear it with you?”

Li Changsheng remained silent. If it were just him, it wouldn’t matter, but now it’s clearly not. There’s a whole family.

”Can you two give me some advice? What should I do?”

”What should you do? Just don’t get involved in anything.”

Li Changsheng gave a bitter smile. Now, he simply couldn’t refuse anything.

He stood up, ”Alright. I’m leaving. Today I really learned something: a woman can be so domineering.”

Zeng Zhenqing and Lu Chengmin didn’t say anything. Xiao Su had indeed gone too far this time. But what could they do? They could only cover for her.

Su Yuanyuan returned to the office, ”Send someone to watch over the Li Family’s three generations.”

”Yes, Minister Su.”

In the afternoon, after more than an hour, the meeting was over when Chengzi returned.

”Sister-in-law, the person has been handed over to Daqing.”

”Alright, I know. Tonight we’ll still go to the garrison.”

This matter must be resolved before I leave. Otherwise, they’ll have to follow me over.

After work in the evening, still without eating, this time bringing Qian Zhifeng along, Su Yuanyuan was quite satisfied with him. He was definitely a very capable person with quick reactions.

At the garrison, Zhang Chunsheng was still waiting for them to have dinner.

Today the chef made beef sauce. It was delicious with noodles.

”That Shi Jianming was really cowardly, blabbing everything he should and shouldn’t.

You wouldn’t believe how arrogant he was when he first arrived, blustering away. Daqing’s methods really scared him. There’s no need to question him now, he’s spilling everything like beans from a bamboo tube. You’ll see his confession later.”

When several entered the office, Su Yuanyuan read Shi Jianming’s confession.

”Daqing, arrange for me to meet Shi Jianming. Still, you handle the interrogation.”

”Yes.” Daqing hurried out.

”Is something wrong?” Zhang Chunsheng asked with confusion.

”Not sure, I just want to hear him out. I feel he still has a lot left unsaid.”

”Is that so? I’ll go with you.”

”You stay out of it, prepare for Daqing to take over, what do you think about the Public Security Department?”

”Me?”

”Yes.”

Zhang Chunsheng didn’t know how to describe his feelings. The Public Security Department was indeed a good place, and he didn’t expect that after having once betrayed, she would still trust him.
