Chapter 501 - 499: "Tang Si Is My Husband.
The man’s face darkened: "Where the hell did you come from? Don’t block my way."
In the moonlight, Fu Jingsheng could vaguely make out the woman’s features, which seemed not bad in the hazy light.
Fu Jingsheng licked his lips: "Accidentally fell into the pond, cold. Just need to borrow some clothes."
His voice was trembling as he spoke, from both the cold and the pain.
"Scram." The man said rudely.
The woman seemed to want him to rescue her.
"What if I don’t?" Fu Jingsheng stepped forward.
Since he encountered this, he had to see it through to the end.
"Damn it." The man was particularly strong, looking to be twice the size of Fu Jingsheng, he rolled up his sleeves: "You’re just asking for a beating."
...
"Ah——!"
In the night, a scream startled the birds in the forest, making them fly away.
"Whew——" Fu Jingsheng shook his hand, looking at the burly man he had taken down: "Hell, that hurt."
If one could see his face clearly at this moment, they would surely know Fu Jingsheng’s face was pale.
He hadn’t fought for a long time and hadn’t gone through anything like this, his tolerance was somewhat lacking, he was on the verge of exhaustion.
He looked up at the woman who was tied up, finally seeing her long hair now messy beyond recognition.
Wearing rather tasteless clothes.
It suited the rural feel.
He approached and untied her ropes, his breathing slightly rushed.
As soon as the rope was undone, the woman removed the thing from her mouth herself, looking at Fu Jingsheng: "Are you injured?"
Fu Jingsheng’s lips moved as he prepared to speak.
But the woman spoke first: "I’ll take you home."
"Wait." Fu Jingsheng: "In my current condition, I can’t walk far. How far is your home?"
"If it’s too far I can’t make it, can you go home and bring me some clean clothes, and check on me, considering I saved you."
The woman frowned: "My home is nearby, not far, we’ll be there in a minute or two."
Fu Jingsheng’s whole body was trembling: "Alright."
He thought he would really have to strip the clothes off this burly man to wear.
"Let’s go, you lead the way."
Before Fu Jingsheng finished speaking, he was lifted up on her back.
"Hey hey hey—— what the hell?"
The woman was so small, yet she could carry him.
She had quite some strength.
"You said you couldn’t walk a few steps, I was afraid you’d die on the road and blame me, so I’ll carry you." She said while panting.
She was clear about gratitude and grudges, this person saved her, so she naturally wouldn’t ignore him, but it would be limited to tonight. Once he was well, they would have no further connection. After all, this man’s appearance was strange, and he was covered in injuries; who knew what kind of business he was in, if he was a good person?
At least for now, his rescue proved he wasn’t too bad.
Fu Jingsheng: "With strength like yours, how could you almost be assaulted."
And that man just now, he handled easily, not much strength.
The woman said: "Because he drugged me, but I have good resistance and woke up quickly. By the time I woke up he had already tied me up."
Fu Jingsheng said nothing, he didn’t much like probing into other people’s privacy.
...
Three days later.
The case was almost closed, and Tang Si’s vacation was cut short due to this trip. After busying for three days, the matter was nearly settled.
It was a fine day, and Tang Si was off duty.
But he needed to go to the 4S shop to check his car, getting up quite early.
Song Yi turned over in bed just to see him get up, she squinted, half-dazed: "So early... you old people really don’t need much sleep?"
Old people are like that, going to bed early and getting up early.
Tang Si was fastening his shirt buttons with one hand, looking down at Song Yi: "Yes, old people can still find young and beautiful wives."
"In your words I was never young."
Song Yi: "Almost thirty, you’re not young either."
Tang Si chuckled: "I’m going to the 4S shop, you sleep a little more, what do you want to eat? I’ll bring it back for you later."
Song Yi was too sleepy, couldn’t think of what to eat first thing in the morning.
"Whatever." She turned over, wrapped in the covers, and went back to sleep.
Lounging in bed was one of Song Yi’s big habits.
Tang Si stared down at Song Yi, couldn’t help but smile again, let out a slight sigh, and went out.
...
Around nine in the morning.
The door was knocked on violently. Seemed aggressive.
Song Yi turned over, opened her eyes only to be squinted by the sunlight outside.
The knocking continued.
She frowned, threw off the covers, got out of bed, haphazardly put on a coat and pants, and rushed to the bathroom to wash her face.
Only after ensuring her appearance was still passable did she leisurely go to open the door.
As soon as the door was opened, Song Yi saw Wen Heshang at the door, along with a woman standing there. Their expressions were chillingly cold, as if they had come to settle scores.
Song Yi wore Tang Si’s clothes casually, the oversized clothing making her appear even more petite. In front of the tall and robust Wen Heshang, she seemed smaller.
She hadn’t expected these two to show up.
Song Yi leaned against the door with a smile: "Rare guests."
"Looking for Tang Si?"
Wen Heshang’s face was cold, speaking through gritted teeth, as if wishing to devour Tang Si: "He didn’t go to work today, he’s definitely home. Get him out here."
He showed no patience toward Song Yi, urgently needing to find Tang Si.
Song Yi’s tone was indifferent, although she smiled at her lips, the smile didn’t reach her eyes. She replied coldly: "Not here."
"Move aside." Wen Xianghe had no patience at all, reaching out to shove Song Yi.
Song Yi wouldn’t let him have his way. With lightning speed, she grabbed Wen Xianghe’s outstretched hand and in the next second, forcefully pressed it down.
Wen Xianghe gritted his teeth in pain: "Let go!"
The woman beside him was also a bit annoyed: "I say, can’t you stop meddling? This is our family matter. We’re here to find him. Just get him out here, it’s not your business."
She reached to pull Song Yi’s hand, trying to make Song Yi release Wen Xianghe.
Song Yi gave a cold stare and applied pressure again: "Don’t move."
Her tone was cold: "Move once more, and his hand will be ruined."
Wen Mu dared not act rashly. This woman appeared delicate and weak, but her methods were shockingly ruthless.
Song Yi watched the two with a cold gaze, finding it laughable.
Song Yi could guess their purpose in coming, likely because of Wen Mu.
They believed Tang Si caught Wen Mu and came to confront Tang Si.
It’s likely the outcome on Wen Mu’s side wasn’t good. He brought this upon himself; the most ridiculous thing was, educating his son to do wrong, yet coming here so self-righteously to settle scores with others.
Song Yi’s voice was chilling, void of any emotion: "Firstly, I’m not meddling. Tang Si is my husband; if I don’t handle his matters, who will?"
Song Yi raised her chin slightly, unable to conceal her pride and sharpness: "Secondly, how is he considered a member of your family? How does this make it a family matter? You never treated him as family."
"How now? Your precious son got caught, so you come to confront the police? Where’s your brain? Did a dog eat it?"
Song Yi’s words were sharp and clear. She didn’t hold back, even if these two were older than her.
In her eyes, the concept of respecting the elderly and loving the young wasn’t present; only those who opposed Tang Si were her enemies.
Wen Xianghe knew deep down that if it came to just quarreling verbally, he might lose.
He bit his lip, forcibly swallowing his anger, aware this woman wasn’t to be provoked.
He wasn’t oblivious to the Song Family’s status in Ning City.
"Miss Song, our family’s issues are complicated. If he didn’t tell you, you’re unaware of the matter and shouldn’t get involved."
"Consider us coming to find and see our son."
Wen Xianghe’s words indicated he wasn’t there to confront the police.
Song Yi tilted her head slightly, a playful smile on her lips: "Is that so?"
"Your son isn’t here." Song Yi laughed with her eyes narrowed, though her smile was beautiful, one could feel her cold aura: "Your eldest daughter-in-law is right in front of you. You can talk to me if there’s an issue."
Song Yi wasn’t easy to brush aside. Generally, no one was her match.
Having mingled in the entertainment industry for so many years, who hadn’t she encountered?
She had the means to deal with people like Wen Xianghe.
"Miss Song!" Wen Xianghe lost his patience: "An unwed daughter-in-law, what makes her a daughter-in-law?"
"Our Wen Family doesn’t have a daughter-in-law yet."
He was willing to risk offending Song Yi, as she blocked his way.
Song Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly: "Mr. Wen, the son surnamed Tang isn’t a Wen Family member either."
"Did you embed diamonds or gold in your household? Do I have to step into your Wen Family door? Stop flattering yourself."
No matter where Wen Xianghe tried to steer the conversation, Song Yi had a reply waiting.
"Please." Wen Mu pleaded tearfully, her tears continuously flowing: "Wen Mu really can’t have anything happen to him. Where is Tang Si? Get him out here. We have some things to discuss with him."
Song Yi couldn’t understand how these two thought that they couldn’t handle her but believed they could handle Tang Si after seeing him.
Tang Si was much more skilled than she was.
It was simply out of respect for Wen Heshang being the biological father, giving him a few more chances. But they’ve overstepped.
"Why bother talking to her?" Wen Heshang couldn’t bear his wife’s crying and couldn’t withstand any more.
Risking his dignity as a man, he wanted to fight with Song Yi.
Wen Heshang suddenly used force to push Song Yi. The difference in strength between men and women was indeed significant, causing Song Yi to retreat two steps.
She contemplated whether to knock him down in a couple of moves.
"Coming straight to my doorstep, seeking death, huh?" Suddenly, a cold voice reached Song Yi’s ears.
Wen Heshang instantly turned around, seeing Tang Si standing behind him.
Tang Si’s face was solemn.
Wen Mu immediately approached him: "What have you done to Wen Mu? Quickly release him. You’re brothers! You can’t do this to him. He’s your brother; no matter how grave the mistake, you can’t catch him!"
