w.a.n.g Furong couldn’t remember how long it had been since she felt this kind of fear, the fear of impending death.

She clutched her dress tightly with both hands and did not dare to raise her head for a long time.

Meng Zi and his wife weren’t stupid. No matter how famous Su Ying was, w.a.n.g Furong, as a stranger who had supposedly never interacted with Su Ying before, wouldn’t have such an extreme reaction even if she was fearful.

The two of them looked at w.a.n.g Furong and frowned even more deeply.

“Furong, the City Lord is talking to you.”

w.a.n.g Furong’s body stiffened. She mustered her courage and slowly raised her head.

As their four eyes locked, w.a.n.g Furong’s heart shuddered violently as she met Su Ying’s two almond-shaped eyes exuding an ambiguous expression.

Su Ying recognized her!

w.a.n.g Furong desperately told herself that when Su Ying chased them away, they had genuinely left. After that, she never got close to them again. Even if she was married to Meng Jiang now, it was still through her own ability. Su Ying couldn’t take her life because of this!

However, no matter how she tried to mentally prepare herself, w.a.n.g Furong didn’t dare to look Su Ying in the eye.

“Looks like she can’t let herself relax because Uncle Meng and Aunt Tian are here. Uncle Meng, why don’t you two go and cook two more dishes for me? I’ll talk to her alone.”

No!

w.a.n.g Furong almost wanted to scream, but when she met Su Ying’s two icy eyes, all her words were stuck in her throat.

Meng Zi and his wife exchanged a look.

“That’s a good idea. I think the City Lord hasn’t had enough to eat tonight. It’s our fault. I’ll go and cook two more dishes with my husband now, City Lord.”

After the two of them left, w.a.n.g Furong suddenly stood up and tried to flee.

However, just as she ran to the door, the door closed by itself with a bang.

“w.a.n.g Furong, long time no see.”

A powerful pressure swept toward her from behind. w.a.n.g Furong’s hair stood on end. She knelt down in terror and began pleading.

“City Lord, please spare my life. City Lord, please spare my life. Back then, after I left, I didn’t do anything to harm you, City Lord. City Lord, please spare me this time.”

Su Ying raised her eyebrows slightly as a hint of impatience flashed across her eyes.

“w.a.n.g Furong, do you still need me to remind you what you have done?”

w.a.n.g Furong’s lips trembled as she stammered that she didn’t know which matter Su Ying was referring to.

However, Su Ying didn’t give her a chance to think at all. Her palm clamped down directly on the top of w.a.n.g Furong’s head.

w.a.n.g Furong only felt a sudden excruciating pain. It was as if there was a thousand-pound anvil weighing down on her head, causing her body to sink bit by bit. Even her neck was about to break.

“City Lord, please spare me. I… I really know my mistake…”

“w.a.n.g Furong, I’ll give you a chance to live. Speak. Why did you lie?”

“I didn’t… Oof… Argh!” w.a.n.g Furong was in so much pain that she collapsed to the ground.

“I… I’ll talk. City Lord, spare me. I’ll talk.”

Su Ying’s almond-shaped eyes darkened. There was indeed something wrong with w.a.n.g Furong.

She loosened her grip slightly to allow w.a.n.g Furong to speak more clearly.

“I… I heard that Long Ba was not on good terms with my father-in-law. I thought that we might be bullied by Long Ba and his men when we settled down in the city, so… so I lied to them and said that I was abducted by Long Ba’s people. As long as this matter was escalated to the Peace-keeping Bureau, Long Ba would be punished and his power… power would be weakened… I… I know I was wrong, City Lord. I won’t dare to do it again…”

w.a.n.g Furong cried until her tears and snot were flowing out and her voice had become hoa.r.s.e.

Su Ying narrowed her eyes and gave a sneer. She suddenly increased the force in her hand. “w.a.n.g Furong, do you think I’ll believe what you said…”

“Argh!” w.a.n.g Furong screamed once. Then her eyes rolled upward and she fainted.

Meng Zi and his wife were standing outside the door and heard everything clearly.

If not for Meng Zi holding her back, Tian Niu would have already barged in and beat w.a.n.g Furong to death. Her intuition was indeed right. It was w.a.n.g Furong who got her son into trouble!

“Uncle Meng, Aunt Tian, come in.” Su Ying’s voice suddenly rang out from inside the room. She knew that the two of them had been standing outside the door.

Meng Zi pushed open the door and walked in. The first thing he saw was w.a.n.g Furong lying unconscious on the ground.

The husband and wife knelt before Su Ying.

“City Lord, please forgive us. It’s our fault for not being strict enough with our family discipline that caused trouble for you, City Lord. Please punish us.”

Su Ying lowered her eyes indifferently and didn’t tell them to get up. “They belong to your family, and they were the ones who caused the trouble. I have always made a clear distinction when dis.h.i.+ng out rewards and punishments. Long Ba and his men did something and have already been punished. Naturally, those two won’t be able to escape their punishment for their wrong-doings.”

“City Lord, Jiang’er is muddle-headed because he was bewitched by w.a.n.g Furong…” Tian Niu still wanted to defend her son.

“Yes, he cares about w.a.n.g Furong, so he set fire to someone else’s courtyard before he figured out what truly happened. He had a reason for doing that, but that was also a crime for which he couldn’t escape punishment. I’ll a.s.sign people to haul w.a.n.g Furong back to the Peace-keeping Bureau. The rest of the matters will be settled according to the rules. Do you two have any objections?”

Tian Niu still wanted to speak, but was held back by Meng Zi.

“We have no objections.” Meng Jiang had failed to set the fire, and his crime was not minor, but at least he would not lose his life. Although Meng Zi was also worried about his son, they had to live by the rules of Sky Alpha City since they had already arrived at Sky Alpha City.

Once she finished speaking, Su Ying stood up and summoned the people waiting outside to take w.a.n.g Furong away.

“It’s already late at night. 1 won’t disturb you anymore, Uncle Meng and Aunt Tian. I’ll take my leave now.”

“Farewell, City Lord.”

Su Ying left in the darkness.

After closing the courtyard gate, Tian Niu burst into tears. “It’s such a misfortune for our family…The City Lord clearly knew that it was not Jiang’er’s fault, so why did she not forgive him? It’s all your fault. We were fine in the Tiger Base previously. Why did you come here for no reason?”

Tian Niu was so angry that she hit Meng Zi’s body repeatedly. She only had this one son. If anything happened to him, how would she continue living?

Meng Zi’s brows knitted so tightly that they almost formed the Roman numeral three.

Previously, when those people were thinking of grabbing the mine, they had gone through the Tiger Base several times to inquire about it. At that time, he was worried that those people would harm the people in the Tiger Base. After all, the other party had the kingdom backing them, so he decided to get the people in the Tiger Base to move temporarily to the city first. It would not be too late to return after this matter had blown over.

To his dismay, such an incident occurred during this period.

“Jiang’er was muddle-headed. You can’t blame anyone else for this.”

“It’s all your fault. No. Go to the Peace-keeping Bureau tomorrow and ask them how they’re going to punish Jiang’er.”

“Fine. I’ll ask again tomorrow.” Meng Zi was not worried that something bad would happen to Meng Jiang. No matter what happened, his son would not lose his life.

He was more worried about what w.a.n.g Furong said earlier.

Ever since Su Ying came to the Tiger Base to consolidate the forces of the Tiger Base, the people in their respective areas had been relatively harmonious on the surface. Even if there were conflicts, they were all in the past. Why would w.a.n.g Furong lie for no reason and deliberately deepen the conflict between him and Long Ba?

Meng Zi couldn’t figure it out.

He would go to the Peace-keeping Bureau tomorrow, but it was not to ask what would happen to Meng Jiang. He wanted to know who instigated w.a.n.g Furong to do this.. Or rather, who was trying to sow discord between him and Long Ba, and what were the other party’s intentions?
