Chapter 753: Dominating Legacy 4

  "What's wrong?" Yan Jing's expression changed slightly, but she remained in her previous position, without moving an inch.

  Wu Zhengxie stared at Yan Jing's face, his right hand fluttering like a bird in flight for a moment. Wu Zhengxie furrowed his brow and spoke in a low voice, "Little Jing, I can no longer see your fate, the calculations have always been vague, but just now I had a very bad premonition." He paused here, glanced at the others around him, and continued, "So, today we will stay overnight in this Suhong Village, and tomorrow you all set off back to H City."

  Wu Zhengxie didn't seem to be joking, and Wang Cheng and the others suddenly felt that something was off. They couldn't help but look at Yan Jing, who was their leader in this situation.

  Seeing everyone looking over, Yan Jing nodded lightly after a moment of contemplation, "Mm, staying overnight is fine too, just in time to ask about the situation in this village."

  The conversation had reached this point, and several people present had lost interest in speaking again, because Wu Zhengye was frowning as if calculating something, and no one dared to disturb him.

  It was already approaching seven o'clock in the evening, and the sky had completely darkened. Inside the Wu Zhengye clan's main hall, seven people sat on a long wooden bench, not saying a word to each other, creating an eerie atmosphere.

  About ten minutes later, the sound of footsteps came from outside the courtyard gate. Li Peng walked in with a large bowl of steaming dishes, followed by six people, each carrying one or two dishes in their hands.

  "Sorry to keep you waiting, sir. This is our home-made stewed chicken with taro. I hope it suits your taste." The pot of stewed chicken with taro had not even been placed on the table when Wu Zhengxie and his companions' stomachs all started growling loudly, having gone hungry for a whole day.

  Then, dishes like sweet and sour fish, steamed rabbit and so on, seven or eight in total, were placed on the table one by one. Although these dishes didn't look as good as those served at big restaurants, and the utensils weren't as exquisite, the taste was unbeatable.

  The hardest thing is that these raw materials are not polluted.

  Facing this dinner, even the normally quiet Yan Jing couldn't help but give up her diet.

  Seven people ate like starving ghosts, wolfing down their food so quickly that Li Peng and several others waiting on the side were left staring in amazement.

  About half an hour later, the eight dishes on the table were completely eaten by seven people.

  It wasn't until then that Wu Zhengyi and the others finally wiped their mouths with a satisfied expression, "Not bad, this meal is quite delicious."

  As soon as they heard this, Li Peng and the others immediately showed a smile. "It's good that you like it, sir. By the way, do you need to stay overnight in our Li family's Hongcun Village tonight? We have already prepared seven empty rooms for you."

  Li Peng subtly winked at Wu Zhengye, who had no idea where this unsophisticated rural farmer learned such a hint.

  Unfortunately, this hint was caught by Yan Jing, who happened to glance over. Suddenly, Yan Jing's pretty face turned cold, "Li Peng, right? First of all, you need to understand that we are people's police, not local tyrants or evil gentry. We are staying here for a reason and will pay the accommodation fee before we leave tomorrow. Also, don't think about those crooked ideas, we Communist Party members won't fall for that."

  "Cough, cough," Wu Zhengxie lightly cleared his throat twice to interrupt Yan Jing's voice. He glanced at Wang Cheng and the others with a disappointed expression, then said, "Li Peng, like this, you just need to prepare five rooms for them. This beautiful policewoman is my wife, and we'll be staying here. Later, you can find someone to clean up one of the rooms inside."

  At this point, Wu Zhengyi suddenly felt a chill run down his spine as those two eyes that seemed to be capable of killing with a single glance stared straight at him, and the fiery gazes of Wang Cheng and Wang Hao's five people also fell on him.

  If it were an ordinary person, they would have been intimidated by these few piercing gazes and their heart rate would have accelerated. However, Wu Zhengye's face was not ordinary, he remained calm and composed, his expression unchanged, as if nothing had happened.

  "Li Peng, today we are all guests in your Hongcun Village. How you normally treat your most precious guests is how you should treat us now," said Wu Zheng, immediately receiving five grateful gazes, but Yan Jing's face remained icy cold. Seeing this, he hastily added, "Of course, I won't be needing it. I have other matters to attend to tonight, so don't come disturb me, or you'll have to bear the consequences."

  "I understand, I understand." Li Peng immediately bowed his head. He had witnessed Wu Zhengyi's strength and knew that for people like them, who were uneducated and had never seen the world, the only law was the fist.

  Might makes right.

  In the afternoon, Wu Zhengyi single-handedly fought against dozens of villagers, and even now, several tens of them can't get up. Although this feat is chilling, it's also worthy of heartfelt admiration.

  Of course, Wu Zhengxie and others didn't know Li Peng's mind. He just thought that this guy was quite considerate and served well, most importantly the dishes he ordered were extremely delicious. With this in mind, Wu Zhengxie didn't mind being a good person again.

  "Alas, that fellow waved his hand and said, 'Li Peng, how many villagers were injured just now? Has the count been made?'"

  Li Peng was taken aback, he didn't understand why the king asked this question again, however, he had to answer affirmatively, and under the premise of not guessing the other's intention, he dared not speak rashly.

  He hesitated for a full five seconds before speaking, "Sir, the statistics are out. A total of 76 villagers participated in that afternoon's fight. Among them, 25 people were not injured, 11 people only had minor scratches, and the remaining 40 people are still bedridden and unable to get up. Of these, 14 people have been unconscious all along."

  Hearing these numbers, even Yan Jing and Wang Cheng, Yang Dong and others couldn't help but be shocked again by Wu Zhengyi's combat power.

  That's right, the forty people who are still lying in bed and can't get out of bed now are all thanks to Wu Zhengxie. What he said is not bad, his hands are quite measured, just making these people lose their combat effectiveness, without letting anyone die.

  Perhaps this can be considered Wu Zhengyi's mercy, but in the eyes of the public, it is another flavor.

  "Zheng Xie, these villagers have also learned a lesson, I think they should be very regretful now. Why don't you save them?" Yan Jing's face turned red as she leaned in close to Wu Zhengxie's ear and whispered under the gaze of Wang Cheng and others.

  Upon hearing this, Wu Zheng nodded without hesitation, "When the wife has spoken, how dare I disobey?"

  As soon as he spoke, he was met with Yan Jing's furious and embarrassed stare.

  "Alright, Li Peng, you take these five people to their accommodation first. After settling them in, find a few villagers who are familiar with the village and bring them over. I have some questions for them, hurry up."

  At Wu Zhengye's order, Li Peng immediately arranged for two people to collect the bowls and chopsticks in front of them, while another two women ran into the house to clean up the room for Wu Zhengye and Yan Jing. Meanwhile, Wang Cheng and his five men were led out of the courtyard by Li Peng himself.

  Seeing everyone leave, Yan Jing finally gave Wu Zhengye a displeased look, "You said that just now, Wang Cheng and the others will definitely spread it wildly after they go back. How am I supposed to face them when I get back?"

  Upon hearing this, Wu Zheng smiled indifferently and said, "Baby, what's there to be afraid of? Since it's the truth, we shouldn't fear others' gossip. Once this evil cultivator matter is settled, we'll get married, how about that?"

  Upon hearing this, Yan Jing's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up into a happy smile. However, she playfully rolled her eyes at Wu Zhengye and said, "Are you proposing to me?" As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Jing extended her hand, saying, "Where's the ring?"

  "Ring?" Wu Zhengxie was slightly stunned, "What ring?"

  "Idiot!" Yan Jing hummed softly without a word, "Don't you even use an engagement ring when proposing?"

  "Ah!" Wu Zhengye was shocked.

  He reached out and touched it, and suddenly saw the three-color ring on his left index finger, which looked like an antique. He couldn't help but take it off, "Baby, this three-color ring has been with me for twenty years. To put it bluntly, I've been ruined by it my whole life."

  He picked up the three-colored ring, and Wu Zhengyi suddenly fell into deep thought.

  This ring is called 'Three Color Ring', wearing it can increase your intelligence and make you smarter.

  Wu Zhengxie smiled self-deprecatingly, "Xiao Jing, when I was six years old, it was because of this three-colored ring that my father scolded me and I ran away from home. If it wasn't for this three-colored ring, I should be a university student now. Hmm, in elementary school, I was quite good at studying, ranking among the top 40 in class, although there were only 41 students in the class."

  "Pffft!"

  She smiled silently and suddenly laughed out loud, gave Wu Zhengyi a glance, and said in a soft voice, "Husband, the three-colored ring that followed you for 20 years and changed your life, can I have it as an engagement ring?"

  "Alas, actually, I'm not quite used to it when it's gone," Wu Zhengxie shook his head and handed the three-colored ring to Yan Jing. "But compared to you, your weight in my heart is much heavier, for you, there's nothing I wouldn't give up."

  Delighted to receive the three-color ring, Yan Jing carefully turned it over and examined it for a long time. "Husband, this ring seems like an antique." As she spoke, Yan Jing put the three-color ring on her left middle finger, then stretched out her left hand and happily admired it again and again.

  "This thing is useless." Wu Zhengxie was speechless and curled his lips, "A few years ago, I went four days without eating anything and almost starved to death. In desperation, I thought of this three-color ring, so I took it to the pawnshop hoping to exchange it for some money to eat a full meal. But the appraiser at the pawnshop directly threw me out, saying that this broken toy was worthless."

  Later, when I was starving to death, a kind-hearted person threw me a steamed bun and let me continue to survive. The appearance of that kind-hearted person is still remembered by me now, if there is an opportunity, I will definitely repay her, without her, I may not be able to return home at all.
