Chapter 5: Majestic and Overbearing

  The north is like smoke!

  A pretty good name, those big shots who have been in the upper echelons of China's political circles for a long time are all aware that Bei Ruyan is the most beloved granddaughter of the Bei family's old master, and also the most popular and mysterious leading lady of the national television station. The President of China even frankly admitted at a press conference that he likes to watch Bei Ruyan's shows.

  The president of the country also let media reporters support Bei Ruyan more, making Bei's family name, which has a lot of real power, thoroughly known to every household, becoming the object of marriage that top playboys in China are eager to pursue. Everyone knows that the person appreciated by the president is not an ordinary person, and whoever gets the beauty will surely make themselves rise to prominence.

  Zhao Heng, who had never left the county and didn't have the energy to pay attention to TV, was too far away from the so-called upper-class circle. He knew Bei Ruyan's name but not its weight, so he just slightly nodded and lightly touched Bei Ruyan's slender hand as a gesture of friendliness.

  I love you!

  The ignorant and fearless Zhao Heng suddenly blurted out this sentence, causing Lu Meng, who was drinking water next to him, to spit it out instantly, splashing everywhere. Sima Qing and the others also cursed in a low voice, but Bei Ruyan didn't have any emotional fluctuations. At this age, there were countless people who liked her, and she was about to smile lightly and respond without leaving any traces...

  Zhao Heng suddenly said: "I will make you fall in love with me!"

  Bei Ru Yan's eyes narrowed slightly as she gazed at Zhao Heng, discerning the strong self-confidence and determination emanating from him. However, as someone who had seen and experienced much, she wasn't particularly shocked. A faint smile played on her lips as she spoke: "Zhao Heng, I'm a few years older than you. If you don't mind, I'd like to acknowledge you as my younger brother. Will you grant me this favor?"

  This is an invitation and also a repayment!

  The influence of the Northern House in Huaguo is well-known to ordinary people, and it is one of the four major families with a long history. Moreover, Bei Ruyan is highly valued by the President, and now acknowledges Zhao Heng as his sworn brother. In the future, which faction would dare not to give him some face? Even if Zhao Heng's future is not smooth sailing, it will still be much smoother than others.

  Everyone around was filled with envy, Zhao Heng was really lucky.

  Simaqing also sighed: Carp leaping over the dragon gate.

  But Zhao Heng raised his hand with a flourish and drew a circle in mid-air:

  "Sister, no! I want you to be my brother's woman!"

  The surrounding police were stunned, and they couldn't wait to pull out their guns and shoot him full of holes.

  Interesting kids...

  She smiled like a lotus flower emerging from the water, radiant and dazzling. She couldn't understand where this young man's confidence came from, but she felt a thread of curiosity in her heart. It was just curiosity, not that kind of infatuation that makes one's heart skip a beat at first sight. That kind of lovesick nonsense mostly exists in the immature minds of childish men. And what about this absurd sibling romance?

  At this time, a little boy ran from afar and shouted cautiously:

  "Heng ge, Meng ge, Feng shu is calling you guys back home for dinner!"

  When they heard the child's message, Zhao Heng and Lu Meng immediately came back to their senses from their fantasy about beautiful women and money. After dusting themselves off, they quickly ran away without saying a word. The little policeman wanted to shout at them to stop, but was glared at by Lu Meng and thought that even if he could run fast, the temple couldn't be escaped, so he temporarily gave up.

  It's not too late to find two people to take a statement after finishing the on-site work.

  "Officer Sima, let them rest first."

  But Sima Qing, who was about to speak, was gently stopped by Bei Ruyan's hand gesture. Although Sima Qing had a high status and great prospects in the Huaxia police force, compared to the young mistress of the four major families, he, as a silver-robed detective, was still not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as her. Moreover, this time his pursuit had ended in error.

  If it weren't for Zhao Heng and Lu Meng, he would have had to kill himself to atone for his crime.

  So he stopped scolding the little policeman for being incompetent and turned to Beifeng with a respectful tone: "Miss Bei, the Bei family's plane is still on its way, it's estimated that it will take half an hour to arrive. If you're bored waiting here, you can take the police car back to the bureau first, it's windy here."

  "No need, the air is quite good here."

  This genius woman, who has a huge influence in the media of Hua Guo, gently declined Sima Qing's kindness. She raised her head and gazed up at the night sky with both hands holding up her hair: "Having stayed in the city for too long, I almost forgot that Hua Guo has such a beautiful starry sky. Today's gain is far more than the danger encountered."

  "Miss Bei, I'm sorry."

  "It's all because of my incompetence!"

  Bei Ru Yan maintained a calm expression, lowering his head and smiling softly: "This time I was hijacked by Liu Bai Shu has nothing to do with your deployment, it's because I was too impulsive and overconfident that I got hijacked. So you don't have to try to make me feel better out of guilt, on the contrary, I will still report to the police about your outstanding performance in the operation."

  "Officer Sima, I hope I can add another medal for you."

  She smiled and said: "In the future when you have time, come visit me at Beijia."

  "Thank you, Miss Bei!"

  Simaqing was overjoyed: "Simaqing is willing to die for the Northern House."

  Although Sima Qing was one of the top ten silver-robed detectives in Huaxia, he had previously accused a high-ranking official in the police department and as a result was suppressed by his superiors. While other silver-robed detectives hid in air-conditioned rooms giving orders to their subordinates while enjoying their fat salaries, Sima Qing was sent out by his superior to chase after desperate and vicious criminals everywhere.

  This time, he was ordered by his superior to pursue and capture the notorious murderer, Wang Bai Shu. If he succeeded in capturing or killing Wang, it would be a testament to his superior's wise leadership, but if the culprit escaped or an accident occurred, Si Ma Qing would undoubtedly take the blame.

  Although Sima Qing saw through this point, he had no choice but to follow the superior's orders and do things. After all, going after Liu Baishu still had opportunities for promotion. If he refused to execute the command, the official uniform on his body would have to be taken off. As an ordinary person who struggled to get by, he was not willing to lose this well-paying job.

  So Bei Ruyan was kidnapped and made him anxious, although Liu Baishu died and Bei Ruyan was fine, but his superiors could still use this opportunity to overthrow him, after all, he really did lose his job. Therefore, when he heard about Bei Ruyan's current attitude, he suddenly knew that he had benefited from the disaster, not only would he not be fired, but he also got on the big ship of the Bei family.

  He was extremely grateful: "Thank you again, Miss."

  "It's just a small effort, no need to be polite."

  The girl in the wheelchair, Bei Ruyan, had a faint smile on her face, not too thick or too thin. The tight clothes on her body were stained with sweat as she looked around at the shouting children. By chance, she waved her hand to let one of them come over, then handed him the bread and ham from her pocket that she hadn't been able to eat due to lack of appetite. As the child's face lit up with joy, she didn't forget to ask:

  "Where did your brother go?"

  "Uncle Feng called them over for dinner."

  The kid bit into his bread: "Maybe he was killed and had to be spanked."

  Bei Ru Yan felt a chill run down her spine as she sensed something was off about the Lu Manor. The old and young alike seemed to have no qualms about taking lives, with even a ten-year-old speaking of murder in a nonchalant tone, as if it were child's play. She couldn't help but smile wryly, asking: "Are they really that formidable, daring to take lives?"

  "What's going on here?!"

  The child looked up at Bei Ruyan's words and replied with a face of disdain: "Zhao Ge and Meng Ge are awesome guys, no one in the four villages and eighteen villages dares to disobey them. Are the foxes in the mountain clever? Seventy-eight! Are the poisonous snakes on the tree terrifying? Two catty snake gall! Does the bear in the old forest scare people?"

  "Ten pieces of skin!"

  The kid was eating bread while stretching out his left hand and said, "Those things all died under the knife of Heng Ge and Meng Ge! As for other mountain chickens, wild rabbits, and flying birds, it's too lazy to mention, can't even count them. Heng Ge also caught a bald eagle in the sky, tied a rabbit to its leg, pretending to be a dead body, when the eagle swooped down on the rabbit, he cut off its head with one knife."

  Simaqing was slightly stunned, and a hint of disapproval flashed across his face.

  When Bei Ruyan heard the child talking excitedly about Zhao Heng and Lu Meng, she became interested and asked curiously about their heroic deeds. She even had someone bring two more sausages for this reason. The child didn't hesitate, munching on the delicious food while revealing the secrets of the two men.

  "That's two legends..."

  The kid spoke with flying spittle, Zhao Heng and Lu Meng were indeed famous in the four villages and eighteen towns, almost everyone knew them, and when people talked about them, they were either full of admiration or fearful, two sixteen or seventeen year old boys had such prestige in a village with a fierce folk custom, it was not because of their good deeds and kindness.

  But with iron fists and guts.

  A group of hunters from Lujia Village collectively shot down a wild boar weighing over 600 pounds, and coincidentally, the neighboring Wangjia Village also hit it with two arrows. As a result, both sides engaged in an intense scramble. Zhao Heng and Lu Meng, who were on their way home from school, heard the news and immediately grabbed their sharpened choppers to join the fray, knocking dozens of strong men from Wangjia Village to the ground.

  It is said that in this battle, Zhao Heng and Lu Meng were like tigers descending from the mountain, wielding their machetes with precision and killing all around them. The sudden appearance of these two young men was completely unexpected by everyone, with flashing knives and surging murderous intent, their eyes flowing with a fierce beast-like slaughter, just like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable.

  "No one can stop their footsteps."

  The kid took a big bite of the sausage, and with a mighty swing of his left hand: "Heng and Meng came back with two cleavers, and killed the Wang family's strong man who was resisting with all his might. The scene was chaotic for a while, and in the end, thirty-eight people were injured, including the most ferocious butcher from the Wang family."

  "The chickens fly and dogs jump, scattering everywhere."

  The child's emotions became increasingly excited as he spoke, his eyes gleaming with an intensity that could no longer be concealed: "Especially Henggei, who was covered in blood, looked like a fierce and powerful war god, making people tremble with fear at the sight of him. Afterwards, he even strolled around Wangjiacun village twice, brandishing his knife, causing nearly a hundred households to shut their doors and hide."

  In the end, it was still Wang Jiazhuang who mediated and ended this matter with a cup of head wine.

  "Fifty-year-old Old Wang respectfully poured wine for Brother Heng."

  The child raised his thumb and clicked his tongue: "You also said sorry."

  Bei Ruyan's delicate face rose, slightly surprised: "Is there still their story?" No matter how beautiful and intelligent a woman is, she has curiosity, let alone Zhao Heng who just saved her. Bei Ruyan wants to know what kind of past the domineering boy had that made him fearless now.

  "Of course!"

  The child waved his hand, full of spirit and energy.

  One of the most legendary times, a group of thugs from the county town who had been extorting protection fees from schools for five or six years went to their school. Unfortunately, they ran into Zhao Heng. Without saying a word, Zhao Heng pulled out an iron bar from the school gate and used it to knock down more than ten thugs at the school entrance. Three of them broke their legs.

  Things didn't end there, Zhao Heng single-handedly took on the leader of the gang and his men in a dimly lit bar, beating them all to tears and begging for mercy, including the five most ruthless thugs, and even compensated Zhao Heng for his losses with a large sum of money.

  That battle made Zhao Heng's name known far and wide.

  Even Bei Ruyan, who had seen and heard much, was astonished by the child's vivid account. He could never have imagined that Zhao Heng was so famous in the four villages and eighteen hamlets, nor could he have anticipated that the young man's courage and skill had reached such a level. As a result, Bei Ruyan felt somewhat enlightened about the astonishing remarks Zhao Heng made that afternoon and his public killing, and indeed, there was some substance to it.

  Simaqing also furrowed his brow, with a hint of interest in his eyes.

  Although Zhao Heng and Lu Meng showed strong fighting power in the afternoon, he was not willing to believe that the two children were overbearing, thinking that it was just luck that made them young and arrogant, and also made them lucky. Otherwise, it would seem that he himself was too incompetent, a dignified silver-robed catcher was actually inferior to two children?

  However, this child's words added a hint of thought to Sima Qing.

  At this time, thinking of Zhao Heng's overbearing face, Bei Ruyan was muttering softly:

  "You're doomed to go to hell."

  "Hell?"

  The kid sneered: "Heng said he's been in hell a long time ago."

  The child's words made Bei Ruyan stunned again, and he never thought that Zhao Heng could say such a thing. However, thinking of his arrogant and domineering attitude towards the common people, Bei Ruyan seemed to understand a bit, and then suddenly remembered something and asked: "Their skills are so fierce, who taught them after all?"

  "Uncle Wind, Old Uncle, Strange Uncle."

  The little boy who had eaten his fill stood up, clapped his hands and said: "I'm not going to say anything else, I want to go back and watch Ruyan's show, I really like her." Then he ran off in a flash, but soon came running back, picked up the trash on the ground and threw it into the trash can, muttering anxiously to himself.

  "If I don't clean up these well, when Brother Heng finds out, he'll definitely beat me to death."

  Looking at the child's busy figure picking up bread bags, Bei Ruyan's eyes had a hint of thoughtfulness and curiosity, wondering what kind of person Zhao Heng was. Then she grabbed the child and wrote a number on it: "Give it to Zhao Heng and tell him that if he has anything in the future, he can find me!"

  "Awesome!"

  The child's voice was extremely loud and clear, with a kind of unbridled boldness that seemed to shake the heavens.

  "Is there anything under heaven that Brother Heng can't handle?"

  PS: Everyone, hurry up and fill up the fan chart haha.
