Mrs. Legend Chapter 366

Chapter 366: Days Are Becoming More and More Unsettled 

Mei Chuanqi snapped back to reality and realized he had already arrived at the floor where he lived. Turning his head, he saw Wu Lang sitting in the common room, waving at him.

He walked over and asked, "How come you have so much free time today to hang out in the common room?"

"I just saw a huge piece of news. It says that Gu Yuan, the Grand General, and Che Xiunan, a Major General from the Che Family, officially became partners a few days ago. What's more, they're holding a wedding banquet in three days at the biggest star-rated hotel on Diluoya Planet. Is this true or false?" Wu Lang asked, both shocked and suspicious. "Doesn't Grand General Gu know that your Mei Family and the Che Family have never gotten along? How could he marry someone from the Che Family? Doesn't that make your Mei Family and the Che Family in-laws now?"

Mei Chuanqi frowned, surprised. "Grand General Gu and Major General Che became partners?"

He had been busy recently with the new recruits joining the unit and hadn't heard this news, nor had Feng Jingteng mentioned it to him.

"You didn't know?" Wu Lang's face showed even greater surprise, and he immediately replayed the news. "See for yourself."

After watching the news, Mei Chuanqi immediately called Feng Jingteng.

The call was quickly connected. Feng Jingteng laughed and asked, "Chuanqi, why the sudden call? Is the baby in your belly being fussy?"

Ignoring his remark, Mei Chuanqi asked directly, "Feng Jingteng, did your uncle really marry Che Xiunan?"

Feng Jingteng's smile faded. "Yes. I'm actually about to leave the military base now to head to his wedding."

"Why didn't you mention this to me?"

"You're pregnant now, I didn't want you to worry too much. I'll come back right after the wedding. Also, take care of yourself. Don't exhaust yourself training the new recruits. I'll hang up now."

Feng Jingteng couldn't withstand his partner's interrogation and quickly ended the call.

"Wait, Feng Jingteng, hello? Hello?" Mei Chuanqi heard the busy signal and cursed, "Bastard, he actually hung up on me."

Wu Lang, not fearing death, added, "Is it really okay for you to curse your partner like that? Don't forget you're carrying a little 'bastard' in your belly."

Mei Chuanqi shot him a disdainful glare and sat down. "Besides seeing that Grand General Gu and Che Xiunan are getting married, what other big news have you seen lately?"

Recently, the Mei Family had been very quiet. In the family group chat, no one had reported anyone else for any wrongdoing.

But this very calmness made him feel like something was wrong. As the saying goes, the calm often precedes the storm.

Wu Lang thought for a moment. "I also saw that seven field-grade officers were murdered. Does that count as big news?"

Mei Chuanqi quickly asked, "Do you remember the names of the field-grade officers who were killed?"

"I only remember two. One was called Zeng Weikai, the other Lu Liuliang. Both of them died in a pretty ugly way. They were killed in their own homes, and it happened while they were having sex with their wives. What's more, the murderer didn't even spare their families. The police only received news of their deaths five days later. By then, the bodies of the two officers and their families had already started to decompose. According to the police investigation, they said these officers were killed by terrorists."

Upon hearing the two officers' names, Mei Chuanqi immediately furrowed his brows. He wasn't intimately familiar with all the officers under the Mei Family's command, nor did he know everyone. However, the two men Wu Lang mentioned were precisely subordinates under Mei Zhendong. They had once come to the Mei residence to see Mei Zhendong.

Therefore, there was a high possibility that these officers weren't killed by terrorists. Instead, the Patriarch might have started making moves to oust Gu Yuan from his position. This, in turn, angered Gu Yuan, who then sent people to kill a few officers as a warning.

Mei Chuanqi sighed. "Days are becoming more and more unsettled."

When Feng Jingteng left the military base, he brought Lu Kun, Qi Ju, Fang Yuxing, Su Mukai, and a squad of elite soldiers back to the Gu residence in A City.

The moment he saw Feng Jingteng, the butler, Liu Bu, had a strange flicker in his eyes. Then, smiling warmly, he stepped forward to welcome him. "Young Master Feng, you've returned. The Grand General is in the reception room with guests. He asked that you go see him as soon as you got back."

"I understand." Feng Jingteng turned and introduced Lu Kun and the others. "Uncle Liu, these are my subordinates. Arrange rooms for them and prepare a meal."

"Very well." The butler turned to Lu Kun and the others. "Commanders, please follow me."

Watching the butler and the others leave, Feng Jingteng headed towards the reception room. From a distance, he could hear laughter.

"Wait a moment, my nephew will be back soon. I'll introduce him to you then," Gu Yuan said with a laugh.

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier guarding the door immediately called out, "Reporting! Lieutenant General Feng has arrived."

Gu Yuan laughed heartily. "Ha ha, speak of him and he appears."

Feng Jingteng entered the reception room. "Uncle, I'm back."

Gu Yuan beckoned him over. "Jingteng, come here. Let me introduce two people to you."

Feng Jingteng sat down beside Gu Yuan and looked at the two people sitting opposite him. His gaze suddenly stiffened.

If not for their differing auras and body shapes, he would have almost thought his partner, Mei Chuanqi, was sitting right there in front of him.

Feng Jingteng withdrew his gaze, his heart sinking slightly. He had already guessed what Gu Yuan was up to.

Seeing Feng Jingteng's reaction, Gu Yuan felt very satisfied. "Jingteng, this is a friend I met at a social gathering once. You can call him Uncle Zhong. This young man beside him is his son, Zhong Gexin. He's ten years younger than you and still studying at the academy. They've come to A City this time to attend my wedding banquet. Oh, and they're not from West Asia. Since you're free, take them out for a stroll."

Zhong Shuangxing smiled and said, "I'm not really interested in sightseeing. Better let the young people go out and have fun together."

Feng Jingteng sneered internally.

These two clearly wanted to pair him up with Zhong Gexin. Unfortunately, they were barking up the wrong tree. They actually thought that just because they found someone who bore a resemblance to his partner, he would be interested.

Come to think of it, this person called Zhong Gexin probably did not naturally resemble his partner. Feng Jingteng suspected it was far more likely he had undergone plastic surgery to look that way.

"Well then, let the two young people go out and play. You stay here and keep me company." Gu Yuan looked at Feng Jingteng and instructed, "Jingteng, make sure you take good care of Gexin these few days, understand?"

Feng Jingteng didn't look at Gu Yuan, but stared intently at Zhong Gexin. "I will."

Zhong Gexin, feeling self-conscious under Feng Jingteng's gaze, blushed slightly and lowered his head, too shy to meet his eyes again.

Gu Yuan sensed a potential spark between them and smiled even more broadly.

After dinner, he asked Feng Jingteng to take Zhong Gexin out for a walk. However, Feng Jingteng refused, using the excuse that he had just rushed back from the military base and was tired.

Seeing his weary expression, Gu Yuan didn't push it further.

Somewhat disappointed, Zhong Gexin returned to the guest room the butler had arranged for him after Feng Jingteng went back to his own room.

Back in his room, Feng Jingteng immediately made a video call to his precious "big baby." The moment he saw his partner's face, a doting smile spread across his lips. "Honey, was the baby good today?"

Mei Chuanqi snorted coldly. "I've noticed that ever since the little one came along, you don't care about the big one anymore."

Feng Jingteng found this amusing. "Are you jealous of the baby?"

"Your whole being belongs to me, even the hair that falls from your head onto the floor is mine. Do you think I need to be jealous?" Mei Chuanqi paused for a moment, then added, "I'm just a little... piqued."

Feng Jingteng couldn't help but laugh. "Is there a difference?"

"A huge difference." Mei Chuanqi looked at the background behind Feng Jingteng and asked, "Are you at the Gu residence now?"

Feng Jingteng's smile faded slightly. "Yeah."

"Our Mei Family and the Gu Family have already fallen out. Now that you're back at the Gu residence, your uncle didn't give you a hard time, did he?"

"No."

Except for introducing a man who looked like Mei Chuanqi.

The moment Feng Jingteng thought of Zhong Gexin, his brow furrowed tightly, and a flicker of disgust flashed in his eyes.

His partner was unique in his heart; how could anyone else possibly replace him?

"No, you seem unhappy." Mei Chuanqi could sense Feng Jingteng's displeasure through the video.

Feng Jingteng snapped out of it and smiled. "Don't worry. I just encountered someone who made me sick to my stomach."

"Who? Che Xiunan?"

"Someone you don't know. Anyway, I'll return to the military base right after my uncle's wedding. So you be good these few days. If I find out you're personally training the new recruits, I'll pack you up and send you straight back to the Mei residence."

Mei Chuanqi rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah, I know. My ears are growing calluses from hearing it, my hubby!"

Feng Jingteng smiled dotingly. "You have new recruit training tomorrow, so get some rest early."

"Okay. Remember to come back quickly. The baby and I miss you." After saying this, Mei Chuanqi looked a bit embarrassed and quickly ended the call.

This made Feng Jingteng laugh out loud in spite of himself. After talking with his partner, his mood had improved considerably. He got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
