Chapter 101

Not Even Worth It

Even if Zhu Yu had a thousand things to say, he didn't dare make a sound at that moment. He feared that Commander Zhang might not be able to restrain the others, and he would be killed right then and there.

Even if he was caught now, he could still try to talk his way out of it. As long as there was no concrete evidence, he could keep himself alive, so he kept his head down and remained silent.

His attitude just made everyone angrier.

Zhang Shengguo was also worried that things might spiral out of control—mainly because Zhu Yu was just that hateful—so he had him taken away immediately.

On the way back, they encountered A Zhang, who was rushing over. When he saw Zhu Yu being escorted, his fists clenched and unclenched. Finally, getting control of himself, he gave Zhu Yu an icy look.

"Commander, if he could organize people to kill the Lu family, he must be connected. We need to wipe it out completely to ensure everyone’s safety," A Zhang said, couldn’t even be bothered to ask about the message from Lu Hang. Some people simply weren’t worth it.

Zhu Yu had expected A Zhang to be furious, but instead, A Zhang only talked to Commander Zhang.

Zhang Shengguo nodded. He knew this too but was still trying to figure out how to make Zhu Yu talk.

Judging by Zhu Yu’s demeanor, he wouldn’t crack easily.

A Zhang also knew that Zhu Yu was good at pretending. Even when everyone was suspicious, he had remained calm—showing how tough he was. A man like this would never talk, so, staring straight at Zhu Yu, A Zhang said word by word, "I don’t know how much you know, but your mission has failed, and you’ve been captured. I wonder if your family will be implicated."

They wouldn’t do anything to Zhu Yu’s family, but others might not hold back.

At A Zhang’s words, Zhu Yu’s face went pale—clearly, he had considered this possibility.

Noticing the change in Zhu Yu’s expression, Zhang Shengguo knew they had something to work with. He instructed A Zhang directly, "Leave this matter alone. Focus on ensuring Lu Hang and the others board the train safely."

"Yes, sir!" A Zhang saluted and left without another glance at Zhu Yu.

Watching A Zhang’s resolute departure, Zhu Yu felt a strange sense of bewilderment—there had been no accusations, no outbursts. He had expected A Zhang to hate him as fiercely as the others.

Perhaps hatred carried emotion, but A Zhang’s indifference was the ultimate disappointment—so profound that he didn’t even bother to question him.

Zhang Shengguo clearly sensed the shift in Zhu Yu’s demeanor, but whatever he was thinking now, it was too late for regrets.

...

Zhang Xiaofeng’s condition wasn’t great—she needed a couple more days of rest, or she wouldn’t even be able to walk. So they still couldn’t leave, especially with two patients in tow. Splitting up wasn’t an option, so they had to stay put for now.

Jiang Qianqian and Lu Fang stayed to watch over Zhang Xiaofeng, while Lin Nannan stayed with Lu Hang. Lu Ming became the errand boy, running wherever he was needed.

That day, Jiang Qianqian hurried over, her face bright with excitement. "Brother, sister-in-law, Feng Wu has been arrested!"

The two in the room turned to look at her, waiting for her to continue.

"I only found out when I went back to school today. Apparently, a few people showed up yesterday and took Feng Wu away directly. It made a big scene—the whole school is talking about it. The moment I returned, people were asking me about it. He still hasn’t been released," Jiang Qianqian said excitedly.

Lin Nannan thought for a moment. "It must be related to his scheme against you."

Even though Jiang Qianqian was naive and innocent, she understood just how vile Feng Wu was.

Just as she was about to speak, Lu Hang spoke first, saying guiltily, "Qianqian, this is my fault. If it weren’t for me, Feng Wu wouldn’t have targeted you."

Jiang Qianqian understood, but she didn’t blame him at all. Instead, she comforted him, "Brother, don’t say that! It’s clearly because he’s cruel and ruthless. How could I ever blame you? I’m your sister!"
