Chapter 137 Zheng's father, who was chosen, was quite old but also had some good looks.

Actually, Su Qiaoer's worry was not without reason. After all, judging by Zheng Jie's current actions, his hatred for the Zheng Family and the Su Family was so deep that it was possible for him to do anything.

Because of this, Su Qiaoer did not rest well all night.

Early the next morning, when Su Qiaoer came out of her bedroom, the Su Parents immediately noticed the dark circles under her eyes.

"Qiaoer, what's wrong? Have you not been resting well lately?"

The Su Parents' tone was full of concern. Hearing this, Su Qiaoer sighed.

"I just had some insomnia yesterday."

"Mom, Dad, do you think Zheng Jie will do anything to us next?"

"The Zheng Family has already been dealt with like this. If he still hates us..."

Su Qiaoer's tone was full of worry.

She felt that if she were really exposed, she might as well just die.

After all, such a thing would be a great humiliation for her. Hearing this, the Su Parents looked at each other.

"That shouldn't happen."

"We don't have any leverage against us now."

"Besides, our family is at most an accomplice. The Zheng Family is the culprit behind everything. If he really wants revenge, he wouldn't necessarily chase us down to kill us."

Father Su was indeed worried, but in front of his wife and child, he didn't say it out loud.

Hearing this, Mother Su sighed.

"That's all we can do for now. But it's okay. The reason the Zheng Family is in that state is because they cannot leave the country. If we really can't stay in the country, it doesn't matter. At worst, we can just go abroad."

The main reason the Zheng Family couldn't leave the country was because of Zheng Tian's situation. If they went abroad, Zheng Tian would be arrested by foreign police within three days and subsequently chemically castrated. Therefore, in this situation, knowing they would be finished off by Zheng Jie if they stayed, they still had to bite the bullet and remain in the country. However, the Su Family didn't need to worry about this.

The reason was simple: the Su Qiaoer family currently had no criminal cases against them abroad. In this situation, if Su Qiaoer chose to go abroad, there would be no problem at all.

Zheng Jie might be powerful, but so what? Did he have that much influence abroad? Keep dreaming.

"Alright."

After hearing her parents' words, Su Qiaoer felt slightly more relaxed. Now, she could only hope that Zheng Jie would not take action against them.

Although he hadn't made a move yet, this current situation was more terrifying to Su Qiaoer than if he had just acted directly. The reason was simple: as long as Zheng Jie hadn't acted, they would live in fear forever. Once he actually made a move, they might conversely feel a sense of relief.

It was like when you lie; before you are caught, you are definitely worried about the lie being discovered. But suddenly one day, your lie is exposed, and you get beaten up—would you still be worried? Of course not.

Su Qiaoer was currently in a state of extreme fear, but how things would end up ultimately depended on Zheng Jie's thoughts, because the initiative was currently in his hands.

Time passed bit by bit. Without realizing it, in the afternoon, Mrs. Zheng appeared at the Prison.

She came to see Father Zheng today.

When she saw Father Zheng today, she felt that her husband looked more weathered, and he seemed to have some pain in his buttocks when he sat down, moving them from time to time.

"Are you not feeling well? How about I contact someone to see if I can improve your living conditions in the Prison?"

Mrs. Zheng's tone was full of concern. Hearing this, Father Zheng shook his head.

He could not mention what had happened to him in the Prison these past few days under any circumstances, because if he did, his image would be ruined. So, even to Mrs. Zheng, he didn't say anything.

"How is it outside?"

"The things I asked you to check should have results by now, right?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng nodded.

"It's basically what you thought."

"Everything is being done by Zheng Jie behind the scenes."

At this moment, Father Zheng sighed.

"I knew it. This person is too devious; he can do anything. You must be careful and guard yourselves outside. Zheng Jie might continue to make moves."

Might?

Mrs. Zheng sighed.

"Might? Zheng Jie has already made his move."

"What? What happened?"

Hearing this, Father Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he asked hurriedly.

"When I came last time, didn't I tell you that Xiao Tian has bipolar disorder?"

Hearing this, Father Zheng nodded.

Mrs. Zheng had indeed told him about this.

But it didn't seem too serious; if he took his medication and received treatment, there shouldn't be any major problems. However, looking at his wife's reaction, Father Zheng knew that the situation was likely not as simple as he thought.

"I remember. What's wrong?"

"Yesterday, Zheng Jie had this matter exposed. After Xiao Tian found out about it, he was triggered, and now his emotions are out of control again. I'm considering having him continue taking medication at home. If the medication is useless, I'm afraid we'll have to send him to a Hospital or a mental institution."

Mrs. Zheng's tone was full of helplessness. If there were any other way, no mother would consider sending her son to a mental institution, but now, Mrs. Zheng really had no other options.

Hearing this, Father Zheng clenched his fists.

"Alright, it seems that's all we can do for now."

"If it really doesn't work, hospitalization is also fine, or spend some money to find a professional doctor to have him live at home. That would also be acceptable."

Father Zheng coughed. Finding a doctor wouldn't cost much now, but if there was a doctor, whether it was he or Mrs. Zheng, they would feel a little more relieved.

Isn't that right?

"I know."

"That's the situation outside."

"By the way, how are you inside?"

Hearing this, Father Zheng felt a sense of bitterness in his heart. Was he doing well inside? He really wasn't. For a while, it was just that the living conditions or the food and drink were bad, but in the last few days, a person had come to their cell who had some special hobbies, and he ended up targeting the fifty-something-year-old Father Zheng.

Actually, one could tell from Zheng Jie's appearance that Father Zheng's looks weren't bad. After all, if one of the parents wasn't good-looking, it would be difficult to give birth to a son with Zheng Jie's perfect looks. Plus, Father Zheng had been in a high position for decades, so his looks were still decent; he was definitely a handsome man. And it was precisely because of this reason that Father Zheng was targeted.

At first, Father Zheng resisted, but it was useless. In the past few days, the other party had already succeeded several times, which made him feel somewhat broken inside. However, Father Zheng could only endure this kind of thing and couldn't tell anyone.

Because for him, this was a true, utter humiliation.

"It's just the way it is."

"I've adapted now."

"You don't need to worry about me inside. On the contrary, you must take good care of yourself outside."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng nodded.

"It's all because Xiao Tian can't go abroad now. If he went abroad to a place where no one knows him, there wouldn't be any major problems, but instead... sigh."

"It's definitely no problem to nag about this with me, but you can't nag in front of Xiao Tian. His mental state isn't stable enough right now. If you talk about it, it might trigger him again."

Mrs. Zheng nodded.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid."

"I definitely know that."

"In any case, take care of yourself inside."

Father Zheng nodded.

The one-hour meeting time passed quickly. Father Zheng sighed and returned to the cell under the guidance of the staff. After returning to the cell, Father Zheng found his bed and sat down, while not far away, he had already been targeted by a few people.

The moment these few people stood up, Father Zheng's face was full of ugliness. He knew that his life of suffering was about to begin again.

Father Zheng didn't have much combat power, and besides, there were several of them, so his struggle was completely useless.

Therefore, now he could only passively accept it.

Of course, if you wanted Father Zheng to commit suicide now, he definitely wouldn't have the guts.

There is a saying that goes: it is better to live in disgrace than to die. If death were that easy to achieve, there wouldn't be so many traitors in this world, right?

Especially for someone like Father Zheng, although he was in Prison, there were still huge funds outside. As long as he got out, Father Zheng could live a life of the elite. So in this situation, Father Zheng would definitely survive.

Twenty minutes later, Father Zheng lay paralyzed on the bed. At this moment, his eyes were full of despair. He didn't know how long this kind of life would have to last—maybe a few days, maybe a few months, or more likely, several years.

Of course, this matter was not arranged by Zheng Jie.

Because he really hadn't thought of it.

If Zheng Jie knew about it, he would definitely feel that he wasn't smart enough; after all, he hadn't even thought of this method himself, which was simply inexcusable.

However, as long as Zheng Jie knew, he would definitely be quite happy, because this kind of fun was something that could be sought but not found.

In fact, this news... Zheng Jie's people had collected it, but they had just found out about it because their focus during this period had been on Zheng Jie and Su Qiaoer, and the surveillance of Father Zheng had indeed been neglected.

However, after receiving the news, their first action was to tell Zheng Jie.

"Hmm? Really?"

When Zheng Jie heard this news, because it was too abstract, he subconsciously felt it couldn't be true. Hearing this, the secretary nodded.

"Absolutely true."

"We even confirmed it a few times to make sure it was true."

Hearing this, Zheng Jie gasped.

Damn.

That hurts so much.

Although he also hated Father Zheng, after knowing this news, Zheng Jie felt a bit of pity for him.

"Really..."

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Zheng Jie took a deep breath.

The image appeared in his mind; honestly, it was indeed a bit disgusting.

"Is there anything else?"

"Nothing else. Currently, the Zheng Family and the Su Family are still relatively quiet. It's just that Zheng Tian has been searching for ways to kill people during this time, but he hasn't taken action."

How should one put it about Zheng Tian? He was really too cowardly. He was angry, but if you asked him to actually kill someone, his first reaction was truly that he didn't dare. However, it was also quite normal; if he really had the courage to do such a thing, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

"Don't let your guard down."

"Just wait."

"Who knows when he might make a move."

Actually, to be honest, doing things really requires a bit of courage, especially when you first think of it, you need to do it. Because if you hesitate for a few days, you will find that you don't want to do it anymore. This is the so-called inertia of thinking.

"Yes."

The secretary nodded. After all, the leader's words were an imperial decree to them.

How to describe Father Zheng's situation now? It could be said that it was worse than death, and the relevant people didn't want to cause trouble for themselves, so they basically turned a blind eye. As long as it wasn't too excessive, it didn't matter.

After all, the person who came in also had some background, and they didn't want to provoke such a person.

Without realizing it, Father Zheng woke up from his stupor. Now his face was exhausted. When he struggled to get up from the bed, Father Zheng felt that his body was no longer his own. It was too painful. This was normal; after all, at his age, he was definitely not as good as when he was young.

And most importantly, the number of people on the other side was high; even if Zheng Tian came, he would end up the same way.

However, what made Father Zheng happy was that he could finally eat, but what after eating?

It was night again.

That time was even harder for Father Zheng to endure.

But now for Father Zheng, he could only take it one step at a time. He had no better way to deal with other things.

After all, he had nothing now.

When eating, Father Zheng sat on a chair, quietly eating his food. At first, Father Zheng found these meals hard to swallow, but now he could eat them because if you didn't eat, you would just starve. As long as you didn't want to die, you had to bite the bullet and eat it.

While Father Zheng was eating, suddenly, a person sat in front of him.

He looked up at the other person.

When he saw this person, Father Zheng was slightly stunned.

"Here, eat it."

Looking at the thing the other person handed over, Father Zheng looked down.

On top of the bowl the other person handed over was—

Phlegm.
