Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Chapter 548 The Republic-era Miss Who Admitted Her Mistake to Her Arranged Marriage (19)

Shen Congjun didn't dare go directly to the Love and Care Hall to find Mu Zhou, for fear of running into Shen Yucang.

He first followed Wen Yuzhi, and then unexpectedly learned of her conspiracy with Wen Heliang.

He never expected that Wen Yuzhi also knew about this, and he never expected her to be so ruthless.

So he played along and followed them to the theater.

Shen Congjun also considered that if he rashly told Mu Zhou that he was her fiancé, she might mind his relationship with Wen Yuzhi.

It would be better for him to play the hero and save the damsel in distress; that way, she would be even more devoted to him.

Therefore, he did not immediately step forward to rescue Mu Zhou.

At this time, only the four people brought by Wen Heliang were in the theater. These four people, like Wen Heliang, were all good-for-nothings, so Shen Congjun didn't take them seriously.

He was confident he could take Mu Zhou away.

The Mu family also has its own connections in Anping. They will first hide at the Yan family's place, with Uncle Yan acting as their representative.

Even though Shen Huocang is a young marshal, he still has to consider his reputation and cannot openly seize power.

Shen Congjun felt that his plan was flawless.

He secretly hid in the shadows, waiting for Mu Zhou to be left helpless so that he could descend like a hero.

The stage was now empty.

The actor who was singing just moments ago vanished in an instant.

Wen Heliang revealed his true colors, and Mu Zhou finally felt a little flustered.

Her face paled for a moment, but she still tried her best to remain calm:

"Don't come any closer. Yu Zhi will be back soon. I'm her friend. How dare you offend me like this?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Heliang immediately burst into laughter:

"You actually think she can come to save you? Why do you think she brought you here, and why has she been gone for so long without coming back?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhou's pupils trembled involuntarily.

She couldn't believe that she had been deceived by Wen Yuzhi.

Mu Zhou shook his head, tears welling in his eyes:

"No, no, why would she do this to me?"

Wen Heliang wasn't very bright; when the beautiful woman asked, he naturally replied:

"Because you were competing with her for a man, of course she wouldn't let you off the hook with her domineering nature?"

"Stealing a man? What nonsense are you talking about? I have a fiancé. Yu Zhi, have you misunderstood something? I need to see her!"

Mu Zhou seemed to have heard a glimmer of hope and immediately asked to see Wen Yuzhi.

But Wen Heliang burst into laughter.

"Oh right, you don't know anything yet. Actually, your fiancé, Shen Congjun, is Wen Yuzhi's boyfriend, Shen Xing."

Wen Heliang enjoyed seeing Mu Zhou looking so pitiful, yet forcing herself to maintain a dignified demeanor.

It looked precarious, as if a gust of wind could topple it over.

So he didn't mind chipping away at her reserve and pride little by little.

He continued:

"Your current fiancé is a fake. He's impersonating Shen Congjun to take advantage of you, and you're still foolishly kept in the dark."

Mu Zhou's face was deathly pale:

"No way, you're lying to me. How could Shen Xing be Shen Congjun? It's impossible..."

Seeing that the situation inside the house had already turned ugly, Shen Congjun quietly left, first knocking out the men Wen Heliang had brought without making a sound, and then returned.

He heard screams coming from inside the house, and quickly ran a few steps. Without thinking, he grabbed an iron shovel from the corner and struck Wen Heliang, who had his back to him.

The shovel slammed into the back of Wen Heliang's head with a loud bang.

Wen Heliang barely managed to turn around and glance back. When he saw that it was Shen Congjun, he was about to say something, but he collapsed to the ground.

Meanwhile, Mu Zhou was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, his eyes wide open as he stared at Shen Congjun in front of him.

Shen Congjun tried to pull her up, but she trembled and backed away.

Helpless, he could only suppress the turmoil in his heart.

"I'm sorry, I'm late."

Mu Zhou silently met his gaze for a few seconds:

"You, you are really Shen Congjun?"

Her voice still trembled slightly, and her bewildered eyes were filled with tears.

It was as if the sky had collapsed.

Shen Congjun felt a sharp pain in his heart and all he wanted to do was hold the person in his arms and comfort them.

"It was me. It was my fault for not recognizing you immediately. This is a long story, and we can explain it to you later. But I need to confirm with you whether the person impersonating me was Shen Yucang?"

Mu Zhou nodded subconsciously.

Shen Congjun immediately clenched his fists, his eyes filled with frustration.

No, we have to leave quickly.

Perhaps Shen Yucang's interest in Mu Zhou was just a passing fancy. Once they were all gone and the Mu family sent someone to mediate, he would lose interest.

In his view, a man like the young marshal could have any woman he wanted, so why would he be fixated on Mu Zhou?

Just as Shen Congjun was about to bend down to help Mu Zhou up, he heard footsteps outside the door.

He thought it was Wen Yuzhi and Wen Heliang's men who had arrived, and he became vigilant.

"I'll go out and take a look first."

The moment he stepped out the door, Mu Zhou's previously blank eyes blinked.

She glanced at the unconscious Wen Heliang on the ground, silently ruffled her hair, and then reached out and tugged at her clothes.

She was well aware that the clothes contained a hidden secret.

Shen Congjun's voice outside the door also disappeared.

The door was suddenly kicked open, and Mu Zhou screamed.

Upon seeing a man lying inside, his life hanging in the balance, and Mu Zhou sitting on the floor, utterly terrified, the visitor dared not enter further. Instead, he quickly closed the door and spoke through it:

“Miss Mu, there is no danger anymore, you don’t need to worry, Mr. Shen will be here soon.”

Those outside suddenly remembered that Shen Yucang had said not to call him "Young Marshal" in front of Mu Zhou, so they immediately changed their address.

He didn't introduce himself as someone sent by the young marshal to protect Mu Zhou, nor did he say anything else; he simply comforted Mu Zhou for the time being.

Mu Zhou did not reply, but lowered his eyes and silently hid in the corner.

Upon learning that Shen Congjun had escaped from the mine, Shen Yucang kicked the man in front of him.

His face was gloomy, and his fierce aura swept over him like a storm.

You idiot, you're useless, you can't even keep an eye on a person.

His violence was unusually outward; he even wanted to pull out a gun to vent his murderous intent.

Shen Yuncang's expression was cold as he forcefully suppressed the irritation in his chest.

He had a premonition that Shen Congjun would definitely go to Mu Zhou.

Just as they were about to ask where Mu Zhou was, someone else came to report.

"what?!"

When Shen Juncang heard about Mu Zhou's accident, his fingertips trembled.

His features were cold and menacing, his eyes filled with gloom.

"Prepare the car immediately and take Wen Yuzhi to jail."

*

Shen Juncang stepped into the theater, his brows furrowed and his muscles taut.

As she passed by Shen Congjun, who was pinned to the ground, she didn't even spare him a glance, and walked straight past him into the house.

At this time, the theater was surrounded by layers of soldiers, and the atmosphere was tense.

No one around knew what had happened, and they preferred to take a detour rather than pass in front of the door.

Shen Juncang raised his hand to push the door open.

The time he had spent on the journey was enough for him to find out exactly what had happened.

So his hand trembled slightly, he took a deep breath to calm himself down, suppressed the murderous intent, and slowly pushed the door open.
