CHAPTER 102: CHAPTER 100: LOOK AT THIS SHAMELESS BITCH

With the gatekeeper of the military emblem, the three of them followed in without obstruction.

When Qi Nanfeng saw his ex-wife entering the room of the wild man with his own eyes, emotions surged within him.

It seemed as if waves of emotions were rolling, one after the other.

In that instant, countless anger and hatred intertwined, and soon there came the sound of laughing and joking from inside.

Lv Meng, the opportunist, whispered provocatively.

"My lord, look at this shameless woman, still enjoying the pleasures of love! Let’s barge in now, catch them in the act, and drag this harlot back to the reception camp to be beaten to death!"

The gatekeeper snorted, daring to have illicit affairs under his watch; if caught, the new post station chief would also be implicated.

By then he could extort once more, wouldn’t the chief obediently hand over good things?

All three harbored their own schemes, waiting for the right moment, they jointly kicked open the door!

However, what they saw was not the scene of lovemaking they imagined!

Only Huo Zong coldly staring at them, instantly scaring the gatekeeper to his knees: "Gen... General??"

They came to catch Ruan Mian in illicit acts, who would have thought they’d encounter General Huo Zong here.

Terrified, the gatekeeper trembled, trying to retreat from the room, yet as he turned around, he was surrounded by a group of soldiers.

Huo Zong’s stern face looked murderous.

His gaze fell like a knife on Lv Meng and the gatekeeper, starting with Lv Meng, pulling out the long gun, casually cleaning it while asking.

"Lv Meng? The leader selling clay coal to Lanqiang Country?"

Upon hearing this, Lv Meng’s face turned pale with fright, immediately kneeling, shaking his head like a rattle.

"No no no, General Huo! General Huo, you misunderstood! How would I dare? Moreover, we came today unintentionally bumping into you; we... we are here to catch a female criminal."

After speaking, he suddenly noticed Ruan Mian sitting deep in the room, blurting out without much thought.

"It’s her!! She and the new station chief are intimately involved, hence why we came with the gatekeeper to catch them in the act!"

The gatekeeper cursed him as an idiot internally over a thousand times at this stupidity.

This fool, can’t he see that Ruan Mian is under General Huo’s protection!!!

He quickly spoke: "General Huo, what this man said is also wrong, we just came to see, didn’t know if the matter was true or false, there was no intent to intrude."

Lv Meng still couldn’t grasp the implication behind the gatekeeper’s words, only vehemently disassociating himself from the clay coal affair.

"General, whatever about clay coal, I really don’t know, I diligently serve my duty, never with a shred of selfishness, let alone selling anything privately, I haven’t even met any Lanqiang people."

Huo Zong lacked patience for nonsense, glanced at his subordinate, and soon two officials, beaten to a pulp, were kicked into the room.

As soon as they saw Lv Meng, they hurriedly pointed him out.

"General, General, it’s Mr. Lv leading us, it’s Mr. Lv who ordered us to dig and sell clay coal to Lanqiang people, all our silver coin was handed over to him!"

"Nonsense! You are talking nonsense!! I know nothing of this, I..."

Lv Meng still tried to play tough, but Huo Zong’s knife was already pressed against his throat.

Immediately frightened into silence, he could only gaze shakily at the gatekeeper.

At this juncture, sensing a bad end, Lv Meng suddenly accused the gatekeeper.

"Spare me, General... I’m also following orders, I’m innocent too."

"It was the gatekeeper’s orders, it was him who gave me the task!!"

The gatekeeper’s eyes widened, indeed sold out by this treacherous dog.

Now unable to dissociate himself, he could only cry out: "General, please understand, I am also following orders from the General..."

This chain of accusations led up to the General.

But the General had died, burned alive in that great fire, now dead without witnesses, how to investigate further?

Although they all knew, it was closely related to the governor, evidence reached only up to the General.

Huo Zong’s annoyance surged, decisively tying them up, taking them away for sentencing.

But as for Qi Nanfeng, who came to watch the show, he almost lost his own life, now fleeing in fright.

Seeing his fleeing silhouette, Ruan Mian chuckled lightly.

Though he behaved recently, he still hadn’t relinquished the thought of framing her.

Wondering how long he could last, she considered trying to see if she could kill him when she was in a bad mood someday!

Otherwise, just lurking around her was troublesome.

Today’s events were coincidental.

Originally here to help Xie Huai’an with his illness, on the road, Ruan Mian had already noticed people trailing her, ready to counter strike.

Unexpectedly, Huo Zong happened to be here, becoming his fortuitous affair, letting the two fall into Huo Zong’s hands.

Who would have thought Qi Nanfeng ran away frightened, not knowing that Ruan Mian had connections with General Huo now.

His gaze was locked, angrily pounding the walls outside the reception camp.

That woman, why couldn’t she be moved!

Unkillable!!

Cooling down, he realized he couldn’t move Ruan Mian single-handedly now.

He could only focus his ideas on others.

Many here held grudges against Ruan Mian, especially Li Mao.

The next day.

Qi Nanfeng was lurking around the lumber yard, avoiding the Ruan Family people, finding Li Mao, secretly inquiring.

"Do you know what happened at the reception camp this morning?"

They, as usual, got up at dawn, but today the guards escorting them all turned out to be new faces.

Li Mao didn’t know who he recently offended, suffering quite a few injuries.

Hearing Qi Nanfeng’s inquiry, he didn’t want to say a word.

Qi Nanfeng found it strange, tried to start a topic: "Mr. Li, you know the governor, don’t you have any idea?"

"However... if you don’t know, I have some guesses."

Seeing him acting mysteriously, Li Mao swung an axe at him: "You damn well know, why are you asking me?"

Qi Nanfeng awkwardly smiled, pointedly said.

"Yesterday I saw that slut Ruan Mian not only had a fling with the post station chief but also knew General Huo, did you know?!"

"That slut has now risen high, you and I won’t have any good days ahead, Mr. Li, I reckon we need to think of a way to deal with her, otherwise..."

He leaned by Li Mao’s ear, whispered some words, but after speaking, instead of Li Mao laughing, it was his fierce fist!

With a solid punch, Qi Nanfeng’s tooth immediately fell out.

Covering his bloodied mouth, he incredulously asked: "Li Mao, what are you doing! I’m offering counsel and you don’t appreciate it?!"

But Li Mao snorted, following with more punches, scaring Qi Nanfeng into dodging: "Stop, stop!!"

"You brat, don’t think of targeting Miss Ruan, I’m warning you!"
