Chapter 133 If you're going to fight, fight my dad.
Then, Tan Zhengchu, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, turned sideways, walked straight past Su Yingqing, and strode towards the sofa in the center of the living room.
With a long stride, he calmly sat down, the movement fluid and direct.
The fourth brother quickly caught up, leaned forward slightly, and whispered in Tan Zhengchu's ear, "Boss, should we proceed according to the original plan?"
The sound was so faint, like the buzzing of a mosquito, that it made onlookers wonder what this mysterious plan was all about.
Seeing this, Fu Yunzheng gently tugged at Su Yingqing's sleeve and whispered, "Girl, don't be too humble. You need to maintain your composure." Su Yingqing, however, seemed not to hear him. Her gaze remained fixed on Tan Zhengchu the entire time, her heart and eyes filled only with him.
Tan Zhengchu casually rested his hands on the armrests of the sofa.
He looked up, his gaze chillingly cold, as if he could see right through people's hearts.
He went straight to Su Yingqing and asked, "Where did Zhao Da Kuang go? If you know, you'd better tell us honestly."
Tan Zhengchu's voice was deep, yet it struck everyone's ears like a heavy hammer, and the temperature in the living room seemed to drop even further.
Su Yingqing's smile froze instantly.
My good mood shattered like a bubble, and my long eyelashes trembled slightly uncontrollably.
How could she not understand Tan Zhengchu's intentions—he hadn't come for her at all; his mind was completely focused on Su Yingxue's whereabouts.
However, she quickly suppressed her displeasure.
After taking a deep breath, Su Yingqing raised the corners of her mouth again, deliberately softening her voice to a sweet tone that gave people goosebumps: "Oh dear, Brother Tan, I really don't know where Zhao Da Kuang went~ Although we are related, we don't usually see each other much, and our relationship is quite distant. How would I know where he is?"
Tan Zhengchu frowned even more deeply, his eyes sharp as a hawk's, staring straight at Su Yingqing, his voice growing colder and harder: "Su Yingqing, don't try to fool me. Zhao Da Kuang tied up Yingxue and Xiao Qi and then disappeared without a trace. Do you really have no clue at all? I don't have the patience to beat around the bush with you."
Su Yingqing bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes slightly red, as if she had suffered a great injustice: "Brother Tan, you are so mean to me, it hurts me so much. If I knew, would I not tell you? I am also worried about my sister and Xiao Qi's safety, but Zhao Da Kuang always acts in a secretive way, he did all this without letting me know at all."
As he spoke, he took two steps forward, pretending to tug at Tan Zhengchu's sleeve, but Tan Zhengchu dodged him without batting an eye.
Tan Zhengchu snorted coldly: "In a hurry? I think you'd love for something to happen to Yingxue so you can take her place."
Su Yingqing froze, her face filled with shock and hurt, tears welling up in her eyes and spilling out: "Brother Tan, how could you say that to me? I only have respect and concern for my sister, and I only hope that she is safe and sound. You have misunderstood me like this, and it hurts me so much."
Upon seeing this, Fu Yunzheng quickly stepped forward to protect his daughter.
He glared at Tan Zhengchu and said, "Tan, don't make baseless accusations! I know my daughter best. She's devoted to Yingxue. It's unreasonable of you to frame her like this."
Tan Zhengchu glanced at Fu Yunzheng, his expression unchanged: "Mr. Fu, this concerns lives, I have no time for sentimentality. Su Yingqing, I'm giving you one last chance. If you continue to hide things, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
Su Yingqing raised her hand to wipe away her tears, sniffed, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Brother Tan, I really didn't lie to you. Please believe me this time. I swear, as long as it can help find my sister and Xiao Qi, I'll do anything."
Her words were earnest, yet her eyes betrayed a barely concealed joy.
Tan Zhengchu frowned, his voice cold and hard, as if the exhaustion from a sleepless night had transformed into sharpness in his voice.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his gaze toward Su Yingqing was sharp as a knife, sending chills down her spine.
"Tell me, where is Zhao Da Kuang?" Tan Zhengchu's words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
Su Yingqing trembled, so frightened she almost couldn't stand up.
She bit her lip, trying to approach Tan Zhengchu, wanting to explain something.
But Tan Zhengchu simply turned away coldly, avoiding her approach.
"Mr. Tan, I..." Su Yingqing's words were interrupted by a wail.
Fu Yunzheng, escorted by bodyguards, looked at Su Yingqing with a wronged expression.
His eyes were filled with fear as his hands were tightly bound.
He knew full well that Tan Zhengchu was no pushover.
"I'll ask you one more time, where is Zhao Da Kuang?" Tan Zhengchu's patience had run out, and the threat in his tone became even stronger.
Su Yingqing shook her head repeatedly, denying that she knew Zhao Dakang's whereabouts.
She tried to grab Tan Zhengchu's arm, hoping to convince him to believe her.
But Tan Zhengchu suddenly stood up and kept his distance from her.
"Don't touch me!" Tan Zhengchu's voice was chilling.
Seeing Su Yingqing's setback, Fu Yunzheng was escorted forward a few steps by his bodyguards.
He looked at Su Yingqing with concern and whispered, "Xiaoqing, are you...are you alright?"
Su Yingqing forced a smile, trying to comfort Fu Yunzheng: "Dad, I'm fine. Mr. Tan won't hurt me. Besides, I want him to see how I've changed."
Tan Zhengchu sneered from the side, clearly not believing Su Yingqing's words.
“Zhao Da Kuang hit you a few times, so I’ll have someone hit you a few times. That’s fair.” Tan Zhengchu’s words were filled with an undeniable determination.
Upon hearing this, Fu Yunzheng immediately wailed, "No, no, no, I can't take any more beatings! I can't stand it!"
Upon seeing this, Su Yingqing felt a pang of pain in her heart.
She stepped forward, looking at Tan Zhengchu pleadingly: "Mr. Tan, please don't hit my father, hit me instead!"
Tan Zhengchu narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a half-smile, "Oh? Then I'll grant your wish."
At Tan Zhengchu's signal, the bodyguard stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves, and made a move to attack.
Su Yingqing's eyes widened in horror, and she cried out in despair, "No!"
But the fist was about to land.
She suddenly turned her head away, closed her eyes, and gritted her teeth, saying resolutely, "Hit... hit my dad."
Su Yingqing stared in horror, but ultimately chose to have her bodyguard beat her father in order to save her hard-won plastic surgery face.
She instinctively touched her face, her voice trembling with tears: "No, no! I... I can't have my face hit. I've had plastic surgery. If I mess it up, it'll be ruined!"
Fu Yunzheng nearly fainted from anger upon hearing his daughter's words.
He stared wide-eyed at Su Yingqing in disbelief: "You... how could you say that? How could I have a daughter like you!"
Su Yingqing looked at her father with teary eyes, her voice trembling with sobs: "Dad, I know I can't be hit in the face, but I also know you can't take any more hits. There's no other way now, so... you just have to cooperate."
Fu Yunzheng was so angry that he was trembling all over, but he couldn't say a word.
Su Yingqing stood there in terror, watching the bodyguards approach Fu Yunzheng step by step.
