Leng Pengzhan opened the letter and his expression changed immediately. He quickly took out his cell phone and made a phone call.
"Hello, Qingâer!"
As soon as the call connected, Leng Pengzhan called out in haste, but the voice that came through the phone made his expression extremely ugly.
"Leng Familyâs eldest young master, do you want to see your Qingâer?"
"Who are you? What have you done to Qingâer?" Leng Pengzhan demanded coldly.
"I didnât expect the Leng Familyâs eldest young master to have such a beautiful sweetheart. Sheâs truly charming," the voice on the phone said with an eerie tone.
A flash of anger crossed Leng Pengzhanâs eyes as he said, "If you dare harm Qingâer at all, I donât care who you are, I wonât let you get away with it."
"Leng Familyâs eldest young master, a man with disabled legs like yourself shouldnât make such threats. If you want to see your sweetheart, just come alone to a place without telling anyone else, otherwise, you will only find her ravaged corpse," the voice on the phone finished and hung up.
Clutching his cell phone tightly, Leng Pengzhanâs eyes flickered with a somber light, and he said to a guard, "Prepare the car."
"Young Master, should we inform the young miss?" The guard asked.
"No need." Leng Pengzhan pondered for a moment and shook his head.
Five minutes later, Leng Ruobing drove Ye Luo to the Leng Family residence, but when they arrived at Leng Pengzhanâs room, they did not find him there.
"Whereâs big brother?" Leng Ruobingâs eyes flashed with a hint of confusion before she turned to a guard and asked.
"The eldest young master left suddenly five minutes ago. I donât know where to, he seemed to be in a hurry," said the guard briefly.
"He left in a rush?" Leng Ruobingâs expression tightened, her gaze flickering.
"Miss Leng, could something have happened to the young master?" Ye Luo asked worriedly.
Leng Ruobing frowned and took out her cell phone to make a call.
"Activate my big brotherâs phone tracking and find his location," Leng Ruobing said coldly.
"Wow, Miss Leng, youâre really impressive," Ye Luo said, looking at Leng Ruobing with surprise.
"Ever since my big brother became paralyzed, Iâve installed a tracking system on his phone to prevent any accidents. Itâs useful in critical situations," Leng Ruobing said solemnly, and soon a message appeared on her phone.
"Ye Luo, Iâm going to find my big brother first."
"Let me come with you," Ye Luo said hurriedly.
On the outskirts of Capital City, there is a lake, and in the heart of the lake stands a pavilion. A long wooden walkway connects the shore to the pavilion.
At this moment by the shore, a white Mercedes pulled up, and the car door opened. Two guards from the Leng Family got out and took a wheelchair from the trunk, helping Leng Pengzhan sit in it and heading towards the pavilion.
In the pavilion stood six or seven men in black. At the center, by a stone table, was a man in a white robe with his back to the table, facing the water. Next to the stone table sat a young woman with delicate features, dressed in a white doctorâs smock, her gaze flickering, clutching her palms tightly.
"Donât be afraid, the man you like has already arrived," the young man said calmly, his face obscured due to his back being turned.
At that moment, the woman also heard the sound of a car on the shore. She glanced over, and from dozens of meters away, she saw Leng Pengzhan on the wheelchair, being escorted by two guards onto the wooden walkway.
Upon seeing Leng Pengzhan, the expression of the woman changed, her eyes showing a trace of nervousness.
"Eldest young master, these people seem to be ill-intentioned. Should we contact the high-level experts of our family?" Two guards beside Leng Pengzhan glanced at the pavilion in the middle of the lake, their faces showing some solemnity as they spoke.
"No need," Leng Pengzhan said indifferently, quickly crossing the several dozen meters of the corridor to arrive at the pavilion.
"Pengzhan!"
The young woman couldnât help but call out upon seeing Leng Pengzhan, getting to her feet and rushing over.
"Qingâer, as long as youâre safe, Iâm relieved." Looking at the woman, Leng Pengzhanâs face revealed a knowing smile, his eyes filled with intense affection.
"Pengzhan, who are these people? Are they here to target you?" The young womanâs face was full of worry.
"You two, take her away," Leng Pengzhan said directly to the two guards beside him.
"Eldest young master..."
Immediately, the faces of the two guards changed, and the young woman also spoke up, "No, Pengzhan, I donât want to leave. I want to be with you."
"Qingâer, listen to me, leave this place first," Leng Pengzhan said, holding the young womanâs hand tightly.
"Since everyone is here, why the rush to leave?"
The voice of the man in the white robe, who had his back turned to the crowd, rang out slowly, and he turned around, his face wearing a hint of a smile.
"Second young master!"
Seeing this man, the two guards beside Leng Pengzhan revealed an extremely surprised expression.
Indeed, this man was Leng Pengyu, the second young master of the Leng Family, and also Leng Pengzhanâs half-brother from the same father.
Leng Pengzhan and Leng Ruobing were the sons of the Leng Familyâs Family Head, Leng Aofeng, and his first wife. After their motherâs accidental death, Leng Aofeng married Leng Pengyuâs mother, which is why Leng Ruobing and Leng Pengzhan had a good relationship. As for Leng Pengyu, they had no familial affection to speak of.
"It really is you, second brother!"
Leng Pengzhan looked at Leng Pengyu without any surprise, his demeanor indifferent, as if he had known all along.
"Big brother seems to have known it was me all along," Leng Pengyu said as he sat down, his mouth curved in a smile as he looked at Leng Pengzhan.
"Iâm now nothing but a cripple, and within the vast Leng Family, it seems only you, second brother, would want to target me," Leng Pengzhan said calmly.
Leng Pengyu chuckled lightly, "Big brother is indeed wise, worthy of being the person father and the Clan Elders unanimously regard as the next Family Head of the Leng Family."
"But now, you are the next successor to the Family Head of the Leng Family. Whatâs the point of this?" Leng Pengzhan looked at Leng Pengyu with a gloomy expression.
"It was the case before," Leng Pengyuâs eyes flashed with a cold light as he said, "Unfortunately, it seems heaven doesnât want you to live your life as it is, unexpectedly sending this kid Ye Luo to appear by your side. He has the ability to make you stand up again, and when that time comes, even without me saying it, big brother should know who the next successor of the Leng Family will be."
Leng Pengzhan sighed deeply and said, "I have no desire to fight for the position of the Leng Family Head anymore. I just want to live a good life with Qingâer."
"However, some people donât think that way, like our elder sister. She has always opposed me becoming the Family Head of the Leng Family. If you stand up again, she will surely make you the Family Head. So, I have no choice but to do this," Leng Pengyuâs eyes flashed with a cold light, his fists involuntarily clenching.
