Yu Jingting’s movements were also swift.
Before dawn, it was discovered that all the silver thread charcoal in a warehouse was laced with Red Star. The person in charge of that warehouse was Yu Jingting’s nephew.
Yu Jingting’s nephew was named Lin Zhuangzhi.
Originally, he was a wastrel, plagued with all sorts of vices. His family had fallen into decline, and he hadn’t corrected his bad habits. However, after his sister married Yu Jingting and gained wealth and influence, he began to live a life reminiscent of his past.
He coveted the coal mining business of the Yu family and persuaded his sister to arrange a job for him.
But no matter what task Lin Zhuangzhi was given, he couldn’t do it properly and often caused trouble, leaving Yu Jingting to clean up after him.
It wasn’t until half a year ago when Lin Zhuangzhi took over the management of the silver thread charcoal warehouse and was responsible for coordinating the business with various inns that things calmed down a bit.
After observing him for a while and confirming that he hadn’t made any major mistakes, Yu Jingting gradually let him take the reins without constant supervision.
Little did he know that trouble would come knocking.
When it was discovered that the missing people case might be related to Lin Zhuangzhi, Yu Jingting’s expression darkened slightly, and he immediately sent someone to summon him.
Thinking about Lin Zhuangzhi’s character, he emphasized, “If he refuses to come, make sure he’s brought here by force!”
So, when Lin Zhuangzhi arrived, everyone saw him being escorted by two Yu family servants, his overweight body draped in loose robes, grumbling and cursing.
Seeing his disheveled appearance, Feng Tianlan’s expression turned cold, and he silently stood in front of Gu Qingluan.
Seeing the suddenly towering figure before her, Gu Qingluan was momentarily stunned but then smiled.
After all, he was fully dressed; what was there to be afraid of?
“Brother-in-law! Tell them to let go! It hurts!” Lin Zhuangzhi, upon seeing Yu Jingting, quickly pleaded for help.
Yu Jingting signaled for the two men to release him.
Once free, Lin Zhuangzhi turned around and kicked them both, spewing vulgarities from his mouth.
The people present couldn’t help but furrow their brows.
Yu Jingting blushed slightly and sternly reprimanded him, “Lin Zhuangzhi, shut your mouth! Come here quickly!”
“Brother-in-law, what’s got you all worked up in the middle of the night?” Lin Zhuangzhi turned towards him with a flattering smile. “Does my sister know you’re here? What could possibly be worth your late-night… run… here…”
As he spoke, he lost his words, and his small, bean-sized eyes emitted a sly glint as he lecherously stared at Gu Qingluan.
Even more disgusting was that it seemed like there was glistening saliva forming at the corners of his mouth.
Gu Qingluan furrowed her brow slightly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
Standing not far away, Xiao Jingye couldn’t help but chuckle.
This chubby guy had quite the audacity, daring to show his lust for Prince Lan’s woman.
Although Yu Jingting didn’t know the origins of Gu Qingluan and Feng Tianlan, he could tell from their demeanor that they came from extraordinary backgrounds.
This rascal actually looked at the lady with such eyes, absolutely shameless!
Before Yu Jingting could reprimand him, Lin Zhuangzhi suddenly thudded to the ground.
His head hit the floor heavily, and one could imagine that his head must have taken quite a blow.
The loud impact stunned everyone.
“Keep your eyes to yourself, or you won’t need them anymore!”
A sinister male voice echoed in the hall.
Everyone turned to see an extremely stern face.
At this moment, Feng Tianlan’s gaze was dark, and an icy aura surrounded him.
Even though they were just onlookers, they could all feel an oppressive atmosphere, let alone Lin Zhuangzhi, who was the target of their attention!
No one doubted that he had provoked murderous intent from Feng Tianlan.
Seeing how furious Feng Tianlan appeared, Gu Qingluan’s inexplicable anger dissipated.
She smirked.
This feeling of being protected wasn’t bad at all.
Yu Jingting thought of Lin Zhuangzhi as his beloved wife’s younger brother. If anything happened to him, his wife would undoubtedly be devastated.
Therefore, he could only speak up to intercede for Lin Zhuangzhi, “Young Master Feng, please calm down. Zhuangzhi didn’t intentionally offend Madam Feng. When we return, 1’11 make sure to discipline him properly. 1 implore Young Master Feng to spare his life this time.”
Feng Tianlan didn’t stop.
He raised his eyes and looked coldly at Yu Jingting.
Though he didn’t say much, Yu Jingting felt an invisible pressure.
He had a gut feeling that if he said one more word in intercession, it wouldn’t end well for him.
The overwhelming force of Feng Tianlan’s presence made it difficult for Yu Jingting to catch his breath. He swallowed hard and managed to find his voice again, “He deserves your punishment. I only hope that Young Master Feng will spare his life.”
Lin Zhuangzhi cried out in pain, “Brother-in-law, please save me! Why are you wasting your breath talking to him? I’m in so much pain!”
He was still kneeling on the ground, bent over, unable to straighten up.
“Shut up!”
Yu Jingting was exasperated by Lin Zhuangzhi’s foolishness.
At this point, not realizing that he was on the brink of death and still daring to provoke the other party, did he really want to die?
