Chapter 145 Let's prevent the rumors from becoming reality.
"Xiuzhen, as long as Wenjing is willing to issue a letter of understanding, we will get married immediately. I promise to treat you wholeheartedly and will never have any involvement with Wei Mingzhu..." Having no other choice, Kang Rongzhong finally listened to Kang Xinyi's advice.
"Hmph!" Deng Xiuzhen snorted coldly and asked sarcastically, "Aren't you spreading rumors that I'm harassing you? If I agree to marry you, won't that make the rumors come true?"
"Xiuzhen, that's not what I meant. Once we get married, we'll be family, and these rumors will naturally disappear," Kang Rongzhong hurriedly explained.
"This rumor is making me anxious. If you clarify the rumor and let everyone know that I don't want to marry you and that I don't have any other men, then I'll consider whether Wenjing should write a letter of understanding!" Deng Xiuzhen said, slamming the door shut and going to watch TV, completely ignoring Kang Rongzhong.
Kang Rongzhong returned home in a bad mood. When Kang Xinyi heard what had happened, he could no longer maintain his composure and used all the swear words he had learned in the park and on the street these past few days, wanting to curse Deng Xiuzhen to death.
"How about we go and dispel the rumors?" Ma Xiuyun asked softly.
Kang Rongli glared at Ma Xiuyun and said:
"Use your brain! You're still trying to deny it? Deng Xiuzhen is obviously just playing us for a fool!"
Let alone the fact that this rumor is impossible to dispel, even if we could, it would take at least ten days to two weeks, right? By then, Sile would already be released!
"Deng Xiuzhen! You want to die!" Kang Rongzhong roared in fury.
How could Deng Xiuzhen make fun of him?
Why does Deng Xiuzhen look down on him?
Kang Rongli interrupted his thoughts, saying, "Dad, brother, I'm afraid there's no way to change things about Sile."
But it's not a big deal.
The family business is doing well. Sile will be a big boss someday.
We live in an economic society now, and nobody cares about a boss's little bit of dark history.
What we need to do now is make more money, and then take down those bastards!
Upon hearing this, Kang Rongzhong exclaimed, "That makes sense! Absolutely right!"
Kang Xinyi sighed deeply and said with concern, "Rongli is right, it's just that Sile is wronged. Alas, I'm afraid he won't be able to eat or sleep well in there."
"Dad, brother, Xiuyun, let's put this matter aside for now. Everyone should go back and make some preparations."
A large signing ceremony will be held tomorrow morning.
At that time, bigwigs from various industries in Kyoto will appear.
Mr. Zhao accepted my invitation, and he will bring his only student to the event tomorrow.
As soon as he agreed to become my company's consultant, the company that had previously promised to invest 30 million immediately signed a contract with me.
Moreover, I heard that the big boss behind Zhengkang Group will also be there. He's a very important figure that people like us rarely get to see in our lifetime!
Tomorrow, you'll come with me to witness this once-in-a-century spectacle!
Kang Rongli's words dispelled the gloom in Kang Xinyi and the others' hearts. The four of them happily packed their things and went off to dress up, hoping to make a good impression on the big event the next day, or at least make an appearance.
Kang Sile and Wei Mingzhu were detained, Kang Rongzhong left in anger, and Deng Xiuzhen was in a great mood. She slept exceptionally well that night.
Suddenly, Deng Xiuzhen felt movement in the room. She tried to get up, but found that she couldn't move at all.
He wanted to scream, but could only tremble his lips slightly. He couldn't even open his mouth to speak, let alone shout for help!
She heard someone rummaging through the room, from the table drawers to the ornaments on the table, then to the cabinets, and then to every corner of the room.
The last dark figure appeared beside the bed, and she quickly closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.
The shadowy figure first rummaged through the bed, pausing for a moment when it reached the layer between the bedding and the mattress at the foot of the bed.
Deng Xiuzhen knew that they must have found the three thousand yuan she had hidden there.
She put it there specifically to prevent thieves from coming in.
She hoped the thief would take the money and leave quickly.
Who knew that after taking the money, the thief not only didn't leave, but also stopped searching. Instead, he climbed up the foot of the bed to her and started to take off her clothes.
Deng Xiuzhen could no longer pretend. She tried to move and make a sound, but to no avail.
Just as she was feeling disheartened and resigned to her fate, there was a knock at the door.
Someone was calling "Mom" from the doorway.
Hearing the noise, the dark figure on the bed jumped up, preparing to jump out of the blind house and then climb over the courtyard wall to escape.
"Ah!" A piercing scream echoed through the night sky.
People in the courtyard ran out upon hearing the noise.
The lights came on, and it turned out that the thief had jumped out of the window and landed on a board full of steel nails, his feet riddled with holes.
The steel nail was at least ten centimeters long and extremely sharp. It not only pierced the thief's cotton boots but also pinned his feet firmly, making it impossible for him to move an inch.
The thief was exposed under the illumination of several lights: Liu Wenkai, who had recently returned home after moving out of his rented apartment.
At this moment, his face was pale, and his usual kind smile was gone, replaced by one painful wail after another.
Under the lamplight, Deng Xiuzhen saw several familiar faces: Qin Yanlin, Qin Wenxin, and Qin Wenyu.
She then realized that the "Mom" she heard outside the door must have been Wenxin calling her.
The iron nail board under the window was probably placed there by Fu Yanlin.
But when did they arrive in Kyoto? And how did they manage to save me at such an opportune moment?
Deng Xiuzhen had countless questions in her mind, but she couldn't bring herself to voice them.
The medicine was too strong; she still couldn't move or speak.
"Mom, you should rest well. We'll take care of everything," Wenxin whispered in Deng Xiuzhen's ear.
The police arrived and took the thief, along with the wooden peg, to the hospital.
After the doctor administered medication, Deng Xiuzhen was finally able to move. She cooperated and told the police what had happened that night.
As for the iron nail board, by this point, Deng Xiuzhen naturally put it up herself to prevent thieves from climbing through the window.
If she had known the thief would climb through another window, she would have installed several more.
The police officer didn't say anything, but turned to ask the doctor.
The doctor told the police that Deng Xiuzhen had been drugged.
The matter is clear: he committed burglary and attempted rape, and Liu Wenkai will naturally go to jail.
Moreover, the modus operandi was similar to that of several other cases, and upon investigation, it was discovered that Liu Wenkai was responsible for them all. The police were delighted; Liu Wenkai was going to spend the rest of his life in jail—but that's another story.
At this moment, Deng Xiuzhen and the other two, Qin Yanlin and his companion, were speechless.
Several months have passed since they last saw each other.
They both sensed that the other had changed.
“We’ve all come to Kyoto. I’ll work, and they’ll study.” It was Qin Yanlin who finally spoke up, breaking the deadlock.
"Oh, when did you arrive, and where do you live?" The men had just rescued her, and Deng Xiuzhen's attitude softened somewhat.
"We've been renting there for about a week now. We were afraid you'd hate us, so we didn't dare show our faces in front of you," Qin Yanlin said, pointing to the west hut.
Deng Xiuzhen remembered that Kang Rongzhong and his family had moved out, leaving the house vacant, so it would naturally be rented out again.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that the people who rented the place were Qin Yanlin and his group.
