Chapter 139: Chapter 139 Even More Ruthless

On New Year’s Eve, the three members of the Zhen Family did not stay up late; they did watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Accompanied by the sound of the bell, they set off a string of firecrackers, ate dumplings, and then went to wash up and sleep.

The next morning, Zhen Yu was awakened by Zhen Yan’s scream.

"Ah!"

"What’s wrong?" Zhen Yu, not even bothering to put on slippers, rushed barefoot to her brother’s bed and yanked open the curtains.

"Ah!" Zhen Yan screamed again, quickly covering himself with the blanket.

Little Sister! Don’t just pull open my curtains!" His tone full of grievance.

Zhen Yu: "..." Fine then!

"What happened just now?"

"Someone threw something and smashed our window glass! I heard a thump and saw a dark shadow fall to the ground." Zhen Yan’s expression became serious.

Zhen Yu’s complexion also darkened, "Put on some clothes, let’s go out and check!"

When the siblings went out, Mrs. Zhen was stoking the fire in the kitchen, the blower ’whooshing’ loudly.

Seeing her children walking out together, she paused for a moment, "Why are you two going out so early in the morning?"

Zhen Yu said, "Just taking a walk in the yard," and then pulled her brother out the door.

The siblings found a palm-sized stone in front of the small bedroom window, with a clearly visible stain on the window glass.

Looking from that angle out to the yard, it had been thrown in diagonally from outside the main gate.

Given the length of the yard, it had clearly been thrown by an adult, not just children playing around.

Fortunately, due to the long distance, though the large stone hit the glass, the glass was unharmed, not even a crack.

But this was just this one time!

If the person who threw the stone got closer, with a bigger stone, or had someone with more strength throw it!

Would Zhen Yan be injured in his sleep, get his head smashed? In a coincidence, could he be killed?

The more Zhen Yu thought about it, the more frightened she became!

This person must be caught! But how should she go about it?

Back inside the house, Zhen Yu sat unmoving on the kang edge for a long time. Zhen Yan was somewhat scared too, mainly because the stone was too big, so he sat silently beside his sister.

Until Mrs. Zhen called them out for breakfast.

—

After breakfast, Zhen Yu discussed with her brother behind their mother’s back, "Tonight the two of us will go out on a stakeout! Cover for us in front of Mom, just say,"

"Just say we are going to Fu Yu’s house to play!"

"Okay!" Zhen Yan agreed to his sister without hesitation.

After dinner, Zhen Yan called his sister out to go play at the Fu’s house, and Mrs. Zhen really did not stop them. Because it was nearby and they were close.

The siblings stood inside the gate of their yard, starting their stakeout from dusk, freezing until their feet went numb. They actually did end up catching someone.

Seeing someone trying to open their yard gate, Zhen Yan immediately tensed up.

Zhen Yu reached out to hold her brother’s hand, giving him strength and pacifying him to be quiet.

The person soon managed to tinker open the Zhen Family’s gate, quietly pushed open a crack, and crouched down to sneak in.

Zhen Yu let go of her brother, without a word, swung a rolling pin and struck!

"Ow!" It was a man!

Hearing the voice, Zhen Yu sneered, Ju Ming!

She showed no mercy with her strikes, hitting Ju Ming until he turned to run.

But unfortunately for him, he could only think about running, Zhen Yu still had questions for him!

First, they beat him until he crouched on the ground holding his head, then they stopped and asked, "Was it you who threw the stone this morning?"

"Yes, it was me." Ju Ming replied reluctantly.

Zhen Yu immediately asked quickly, "Did you drain the water from the radiator?"

Zhen Yu asked simply, but Ju Ming responded irritably, "Yes!"

"How many copies of the keys did you make?"

"One copy!" After answering, Ju Ming realized something was wrong, oh no...

"Ha!" Zhen Yu sneered sarcastically, "If you had gotten in this morning, what were you planning to do? Or perhaps I should ask, what are you here for tonight?"

"!" Ju Ming fell silent.

—

Zhen Yu waited for a while, but Ju Ming stubbornly refused to speak, and they reached a deadlock.

Zhen Yu thought it over and told her brother, "Go find Grandpa Fu and Uncle Fu!"

"What are you trying to do?" Ju Ming instantly became alert.

Zhen Yu calmly looked at him, gesturing behind her back for her brother to hurry.

Almost as soon as Zhen Yan turned to open the door, Ju Ming made his move, suddenly pulling out a fruit knife and lunging towards Zhen Yan.

Zhen Yu didn’t need to say it; she knew he wanted to call someone, to do what? To send him to the police station!

This kid must not be allowed to fetch people! That was Ju Ming’s immediate thought.

In the cold night, the flash of the knife terrified Zhen Yu, who also immediately sprang into action.

Zhen Yan was not yet aware of what was happening behind him when Zhen Yu had already grabbed Ju Ming’s arm, and the two struggled together.

Zhen Yan heard the noise and just about to turn back to help when Zhen Yu yelled at him, "Go get someone!!"

Zhen Yan dashed towards the Fu Family, and soon after, Fu’s father and Grandpa Fu, followed by Fu Yu, came running, carrying a shovel.

Zhen Yu had already subdued Ju Ming on the ground, breathing heavily, yet she dared not relax.

Fu’s father quickly came forward to help her hold down him, while Grandpa Fu immediately went home, fetched a hemp rope, and tied the man up.

The old man’s skill with ropes was truly remarkable. Under the cover of night, they immediately took the man to the Siying Police Station.

During the major holiday, there was only one elderly police officer on duty who, after receiving the report, immediately handcuffed him.

—

It was only under the police station’s light that Zhen Yan realized his sister was injured.

"Little sister! Your arm is bleeding!" Zhen Yan anxiously grabbed his sister’s arm to check; the sleeve of her shirt was torn a long way, but there wasn’t much blood.

Zhen Yu took out Ju Ming’s fruit knife from her coat pocket and placed it on the police desk, "Uncle Police, this is his knife! He tried to commit murder!"

"What? What happened?" The elderly police officer was startled, and the Fu Family’s grandfather and grandson were also shocked.

Zhen Yu recounted how Ju Ming had raised the knife towards Zhen Yan. After hearing this, Zhen Yan broke out in a cold sweat.

So! Was he saved by his sister again?!

Zhen Yan looked at his sister’s determined face and silently swore in his heart that once he reached high school, he would enroll in martial arts classes. From then on, it was his turn to protect his sister!

His sister was the most beautiful girl in the world! With a heart so tender, she should be like a blooming flower, responsible only for smiling happily every day!

Considering the injury on the girl, the police quickly finished taking statements and let them go.

They left their address, just in case it was needed for further investigation, and Zhen Yan hurried with his sister to the Han Family.

As soon as Zhen Yan entered the door, he shouted loudly, "Uncle Han! Come quick and look at my sister’s injury!"

Mr. Han came hurriedly, "Ah? Injury? How did she get injured during the holiday?"

"Quick, check her injury! Uncle Han!" Zhen Yan had no mind to explain, helping his sister off with her coat as he urged.
