Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 686 - 685: Fight at the Slightest Disagreement

Lu Zheng followed a man called Rock as the guide led them to a vast area of single-story houses outside the city proper.

The area had numerous interconnected alleys, and with their guide leading, they twisted and turned until they stopped in front of a house with its door wide open.

The short figure who was leading them pointed at the house and whispered, "Big brothers, this is the place! They are inside drinking!"

Rock ordered him coldly, "You stay outside the door!"

"Okay!" the short figure quickly retreated to the side.

Lu Zheng proceeded through the main gate with Rock, striding swiftly inside.

As they approached the house, they could hear noisy voices inside.

Entering the house, they saw a kitchen blackened by smoke. They walked past a stove and entered through a door on the left to see a kang bed with a table on it.

Three men were seated around the table, their faces oily from food and flushed from drinking.

One of the men, a short figure sitting on the kang, stared with bulging eyes and demanded, "Who are you looking for?"

The other two men sharing drinks at the table exchanged looks, sensing that the newcomers spelled trouble.

"We’re looking for you!" Lu Zheng eyed them, immediately confirming from their height and build that these were the guys who had beaten up Lin Dong!

They matched Lin Dong’s description perfectly.

The three men were confused, "What do you want with us?"

Lu Zheng asked, "A few days ago, you assaulted and robbed a young man. Was it a spontaneous act, or did someone put you up to it?"

The men instantly realized what this was about!

Thinking Lu Zheng, with his righteous appearance and handsome looks, was a plainclothes officer, they quickly put on ingratiating smiles:

"Comrade! We don’t understand what you’re talking about! We are law-abiding good citizens!"

"Exactly! We would never dare do anything illegal!"

Lu Zheng snorted coldly, unwilling to engage in verbal sparring with them and decided to beat them up to vent Lin Dong’s frustration first.

He gave Rock a knowing look, and in unison, they grabbed the men by the kang and started pounding them fiercely!

"Why are you hitting us!" yelled the man on the kang. He grabbed a bottle of white wine and swung it toward Lu Zheng, who was not far from him.

Lu Zheng dodged swiftly and then charged forward, punching the man hard enough to daze him.

In the ensuing scuffle, though it was two against three, how could those three guys stand a chance against Lu Zheng and his partner?

One by one, they were pummeled severely, lying on the cold brick floor whimpering for mercy like dogs,

"Big brother! Grandpa! Stop hitting! Stop hitting!"

"Oh my gosh! Please, stop hitting me! I admit it was us! It was us!"

Lu Zheng stood up, shook off his hands, and looked down coldly at the three, "Tell me! Was it your own doing, or did someone direct you?"

The shorter man’s eyes flickered involuntarily, "We just happened to come across that kid!"

Lu Zheng saw the man’s moment of hesitation and was sure he wasn’t telling the truth, "You really don’t confess until you see the coffin!"

Lu Zheng moved forward, swiftly dislocated one of his arms.

The man instantly screamed like a slaughtered pig, "Ah! It hurts! It hurts!"

He had never expected these men to be so ruthless, to strike without a word, to dislocate an arm for a wrong answer!

This was not the way of a plainclothes officer!

Lu Zheng’s gaze was icy as he turned towards the other two.

Feeling their arms still intact, the two men hurried to disclose everything to Lu Zheng, outdoing each other in their haste.

"Big brother! I’ll tell! I’ll tell! A woman paid us money to pretend to be robbers and beat up the guy!"

The other man quickly agreed, "Right! We saw he was a student so we didn’t hit him too hard!"

A woman!

Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes, realizing his intuition had been right!

He had just finished understanding the details when he inexplicably felt this matter was probably not so simple.

But who exactly was that woman?

Why did she instruct someone to injure Lin Dong?

Whatever one does, there is always a purpose!

What was her purpose?

Suppressing the anger and confusion in his heart, he asked calmly, "What did that woman look like?"

"Dressed in a black down jacket, wearing a hat and a mask, we don’t know what she really looks like. She is not very tall, probably young, with a pretty voice!"

Another person, fearing a beating if he didn’t add something, quickly added, "Yes, yes! The eyes that were visible were very pretty and bright, and she had double eyelids!"

Lu Zheng’s gaze sharpened, "If you see that woman again, could you recognize if it is her?"

"Yes, yes, big brother! We definitely can!" The two nodded vigorously, fearing saying the wrong thing and getting handled.

Lu Zheng then asked how that woman found them, how much money was specifically given, and the details of how they intercepted Lin Dong.

When Lu Zheng learned what he wanted to know and could no longer get anything useful, he stepped forward and grabbed the arm of the man who was crying, his nose running and tears streaming.

The man was terrified, "Big brother! Please..."

Only to hear a "snap", the dislocated arm was put back in place...

In the hospital, Lin Xia waited left and right but Lu Zheng had not returned.

She was truly exhausted and lay down on the bed next to Lin Dong to sleep for a while.

As she started waking up to voices around her, still dazed, she opened her eyes only to see Lu Zheng had returned and was quietly talking with Lin Dong.

"You’re back?"

"Yeah! Wife! Did I wake you? Go back to sleep a bit longer!" Seeing Lin Xia’s face flushed from sleep but with slight dark circles under her eyes, Lu Zheng couldn’t help but feel a surge of heartache.

Lin Xia rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up, "No more sleep! What were you and ’Stone’ up to?"

Lu Zheng didn’t hide it from her, "The three guys who hit Dongzi got caught!"

But as for how they were caught and the fact they said a woman had instigated it, he didn’t want to mention that yet.

Firstly, he hadn’t thoroughly investigated who that woman was.

Additionally, Lin Xia was pregnant and her emotions had been fluctuating since yesterday, so he wanted her to rest properly first.

Once there was some clue, he definitely wouldn’t keep it from her.

"Really!" Lin Xia was both excited and a bit incredulous, "So fast!"

She had been thinking about when those bad guys would be caught.

Lin Dong had already known about this, and the siblings exchanged a glance, both filled with relief.

"Big sister! They’re caught and will definitely be punished!" Lin Dong felt exceptionally relieved.

When he was being beaten, how could he not feel aggrieved and angry?

But two fists are hard to beat four hands, let alone him against three men?

"Right! Someone is taking care of them!" Lin Xia beamed, the frustrations in her heart instantly dissipating.

Afterwards, Lu Zheng and the others didn’t stay in the hospital room any longer, and he took Lin Xia and left first.

When leaving, he told Lin Dong he would come back in the evening to bring food and keep him company.

But plans couldn’t keep up with changes, and that very evening Qin Zeming, along with Lin Chun, Lin Qiu, and his assistant Jiu Yuan, hurried over by train...
