Flash Marriage Chapter 21 and Chapter 22

 Chapter 21

Wei Zongjin was unaware of Xue Heng’s thoughts. After pondering for a while, he said, “It’s difficult to suppress the matter concerning the Xue family.”

Xue Heng was taken aback.

“I… you.” Xue Heng stuttered for a moment, then decided to stop the car by the side of the road, saying, “I didn’t mean that. The fire in the village in the city has caused a stir on the internet, and the National Security Bureau is in chaos. You should take care of this matter.”

However, because Xue Heng had been relying on the Xue family for the past few years, he hid his rebellious thoughts very well, and no one had noticed.

Wei Zongjin looked into Xue Heng’s eyes, confirming that he did not detect any reluctance in the other’s gaze. He then pursed his lips and said, “The Xue family will receive court summons tomorrow. Be prepared.”

Xue Heng had not answered Xue Guozhi’s call all day today, and early tomorrow, Xue Guozhi would receive a court summons. When these two things happened simultaneously, people would naturally associate it with Xue Heng being indifferent to a life-threatening situation.

And Xue Guozhi would definitely not let Xue Heng off easily.

Xue Heng waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t care about such trivial matters. He then restarted the car. However, after they were back on the road, the atmosphere in the car improved a lot, without the initial stiffness.

Wei Zongjin said, “The thugs this morning may have been caused by internal trouble in the National Security Bureau. I will give you an explanation.”

Xue Heng considered himself to be a tough guy with strong principles. He didn’t care about such trivial matters at all. After thinking for a moment, he said, “It’s inconvenient for you to investigate this matter. I’ll do it. Lend me a few people, and when I find out who it is, I’ll personally take care of it.”

Wei Zongjin gave Xue Heng a meaningful look and said, “Alright.”

Xue Heng felt a bit shameless. He had only spent two or three nights in the same bed as Wei Zongjin, but now he shamelessly borrowed people from Wei Zongjin without hesitation.

Wei Zongjin, however, didn’t mind at all.

The journey back was boring, and Xue Heng, who couldn’t stand the silence, couldn’t help but say, “Actually, I don’t suspect it’s the National Security Bureau. Our marriage hasn’t been leaked, and the people in the military district compound are tight-lipped. They wouldn’t casually talk about others’ family matters. So even if someone is causing trouble for you, it shouldn’t be a roundabout way of involving me.”

Wei Zongjin frowned, evidently disliking Xue Heng’s casual use of words, but he didn’t verbally stop him.

Xue Heng said, “I strongly suspect that the people this morning were sent by Xue Guozhi’s mistress.”

“Go on.”

Xue Heng rolled down the car window, let in the cold breeze, and relaxed. “Although Xue Guozhi’s mistress’s family company is registered under Xue Guozhi’s name, most of the profits go to her maternal family. Now, with the rumors about the oven causing a big fire spreading and you refusing to meet Xue Guozhi, those people surely can’t sit still.”

“But, from what I know, those guys have ambition without real power. They shouldn’t be capable of doing such a thing,” Xue Heng speculated, feeling annoyed at not being able to figure anything out, then finding it somewhat amusing.

Topics like wealthy heirs being kidnapped and having no clue about the mastermind were usually found in online novels. After all, in the current era of information technology, it’s easy for wealthy individuals to investigate criminals with no significant background.

Chapter 22

However, before the wealthy heir Xue Heng could find the mastermind, he was discovered by Deputy Director Wei, a cadre from the national agency, who found the yellow giant chainsaw hidden in his trunk.

Struggling, Xue Heng said, “I can explain.”

Wei Zongjin lifted the chainsaw in his hand, weighed it, and emotionlessly put it back, giving Xue Heng a deep look. “Come with me.”

Xue Heng felt like his feet were a thousand pounds.

The living room light turned on, and Wei Zongjin sat on the sofa, watching the silent Xue Heng beside him with a stern expression. “Do you always carry it with you?”

Xue Heng lit a cigarette and took a puff, and his expression was hidden in the drifting smoke, giving his side profile a weary look. “Self-defense.”

“Huacheng strictly prohibits carrying high-risk items.” Wei Zongjin’s deep eyes were full of seriousness.

Xue Heng, having just established a revolutionary friendship with his chainsaw, didn’t want to abandon it. So he vaguely said, “I’ll deal with it after resolving the village incident.”

Wei Zongjin heard an undertone in his words. “Is someone threatening you?”

Xue Heng pursed his lips, feeling a bit annoyed, and took a deep drag of his cigarette. “I’m afraid someone might cause trouble for me.”

It wasn’t that he was afraid of those people causing trouble for him; he was just frustrated that he couldn’t resolve the trouble all at once.

Wei Zongjin’s expression gradually became serious. In the past, he might have been able to disregard such matters, but now he couldn’t afford to ignore them.

“These days…”

Xue Heng interrupted him before he could finish his sentence, running his fingers through his hair. “It’s just a minor issue. It won’t escalate into anything big, and I can handle it.”

Wei Zongjin’s expression darkened.

Xue Heng didn’t know that his words had offended the man, but sensing the tension, he wisely kept his mouth shut.

The next day, two ordinary-looking young men began following Xue Heng from a distance. The moment Xue Heng noticed someone tailing him, he immediately called Wei Zongjin. Wei Zongjin’s tone held a hidden satisfaction: “They will be with you from now on. Huacheng is not peaceful these days. Take care of yourself.”

Xue Heng felt a touch of sympathy.

Suddenly, he thought that being with a considerate and powerful man like Wei Zongjin might not be a bad thing after all.

However, in the following days, Wei Zongjin, busy with reforming the internal affairs of the National Security Bureau, started working overtime, reducing the time Xue Heng spent with him.

Soon after, Huacheng Daily reported the safety hazards of the Xue family’s oven, and shortly after, the major shareholder of the company, the Xue family, received court summonses.

The Xue family, especially the Xue Corporation, fell into chaos.

Xue Guozhi was exceptionally furious. However, due to the need to organize evidence for the court, deal with public dissatisfaction towards the Xue Corporation, and manage the sharp decline in the company’s stock in just a few days, he was too occupied to bother Xue Heng. Yet, this was only temporary, not a permanent situation.

Xue Heng, however, enjoyed the temporary peace.

But at this moment, Su Yin, whom Xue Heng had intentionally ignored, somehow found him and insisted on meeting with him.

Xue Heng didn’t want to get involved in the messy affairs between Su Yin and Qiao Anbang again, fearing it might bring trouble to himself. After all, he had learned his lesson.

But evidently, Su Yin, the young lady of the Su family, wanted to involve him.

Under Su Yin’s persistent harassment, Xue Heng reluctantly agreed to meet.
