End of the World Crisis, My Husband is from Ancient Times
Chapter 58 I already have someone I like
Fan Mengmeng felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
The beautiful handwriting seemed gentle, but it concealed a sharp blade that pierced her heart.
She suddenly raised her head. There was no one at the office door, only a shadow lingering in her heart.
who is it?
Who knew her secret?
Who is secretly monitoring her?
Fear wrapped around her like a vine, almost suffocating her.
At the same time, in ancient times, Teng Junze's situation became increasingly difficult.
"Ze'er, Miss Lin is well-educated, gentle, and virtuous. She is a perfect match for you." Father Teng's voice was dignified and unquestionable. "I have already discussed it with Master Lin. The eighth day of next month will be your engagement date."
Teng Junze clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh. "Father, I already have someone I like." His voice was low and hoarse.
"Ridiculous!" Father Teng slammed the table. "The person you're attracted to? A woman whose origins are unknown, whose whereabouts are unknown? Ze'er, you disappoint me so much!"
Teng Junze felt extremely depressed. It seemed as if there were thousands of mountains and rivers between him and Fan Mengmeng. And now, between these thousands of mountains and rivers, there was an insurmountable gap - the family's arrangements and his father's majesty.
He felt that he was getting further and further away from Fan Mengmeng, and this feeling of powerlessness almost made him collapse.
Fan Mengmeng forced herself to calm down. She looked at the letter again and again, trying to find more clues from it.
"Be careful, they have set their sights on your abilities..." What does this sentence mean?
"who are they?
Is it Mr. Lin?
Is it Xiaohong?
Or... she didn't dare to think about it anymore.
She felt like a prey being targeted by a hunter, and could be doomed at any moment.
She thought of Teng Junze, the danger he had faced in ancient times, and the unspoken love between them.
A strong sense of uneasiness surged in her heart. She had to figure out everything as soon as possible. She had to protect herself and also protect Teng Junze.
She took a deep breath, put the letter away carefully, then stood up and left the office.
She wants to find someone who may be able to help her - a mysterious old man.
She knew that although this old man was mysterious and even a little dangerous, he seemed to know many things that she did not know.
After arguing with his father to no avail, Teng Junze came to the study alone.
He looked at the pile of books and scrolls on the table and felt dazed.
He didn't know how to get out of the current predicament, nor did he know how to protect Fan Mengmeng.
Just then, he noticed an inconspicuous box, which was left by Fan Mengmeng when she came last time.
He opened the box and found some modern gadgets and a note inside.
He picked up the note, which had a line of beautiful handwriting on it: "Wait for me to come back."
Teng Junze held the note tightly, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.
He believed in Fan Mengmeng, believed that she would come back, and believed that they would be able to overcome all difficulties and finally be together.
At the same time, Fan Mengmeng had arrived at the residence of the mysterious old man.
She knocked on the door and it opened silently.
"You're here." The old man's voice was hoarse and low, as if it came from the depths of hell. "I know why you're here."
Fan Mengmeng took a deep breath and walked into the room... The old man turned around, and the candlelight reflected on his old face, making him look particularly gloomy.
"You want to know who 'they' are?" the old man said slowly, a strange smile in his voice. "You want to know what they want?"
"Yes." Fan Mengmeng stared at the old man nervously, her heart pounding.
The old man stretched out a skinny hand and pointed at a painting on the wall. "Look, what is this?"
Fan Mengmeng looked in the direction the old man pointed. It was an ancient landscape painting with green mountains and clear waters and pleasant scenery.
"It's just an ordinary landscape painting..."
"No," the old man shook his head, "take a closer look..."
The old man's skinny fingers gently stroked the painting. "Do you see that mountain? Doesn't it look like an eagle spreading its wings, ready to take flight?"
Fan Mengmeng looked closely and saw that the peak had a strange outline, like an eagle spreading its wings. "It looks a bit like..."
"This is not an ordinary landscape painting," the old man said in a low voice, "This is a treasure map."
Treasure map? Fan Mengmeng was shocked. Could it be that “they” were after treasure? “What treasure?”
The old man smiled mysteriously, "A treasure that can overturn the world..." He paused, staring at Fan Mengmeng sharply, "And your ability is the key to unlocking the treasure."
Fan Mengmeng felt a chill, and she finally understood why "they" were targeting her.
At the same time, based on the clues left by Fan Mengmeng, Teng Junze found a businessman who frequently went in and out of Teng Mansion. This man was the middleman connecting ancient and modern times.
Teng Junze approached the businessman calmly and bought a batch of goods he brought back from the modern era at a high price. During the chat, he asked him questions indirectly and got a lot of information about "them".
It turns out that "they" are a mysterious organization dedicated to collecting ancient treasures and using modern technology to transform them into powerful forces.
Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze exchanged information through time and space, and they realized that the "landscape painting" was probably "their" target.
And the mysterious old man is most likely a member of this organization.
They must find the treasure before "they" do and stop their conspiracy.
However, the reality is like a dense net that traps them tightly.
After learning that Fan Mengmeng rejected him, Mr. Lin became furious and began to spread rumors in the company to destroy Fan Mengmeng's reputation. He even deliberately made things difficult for her, causing her important project to be delayed.
Fan Mengmeng's work was in trouble and her colleagues began to point fingers at her. She felt isolated and under tremendous pressure.
Fan Mengmeng was exhausted, but she knew she couldn't give up because she had more important tasks to complete.
She forced herself to cheer up and work hard to cope with the challenges at work, while secretly collecting evidence of Mr. Lin's crimes, preparing to give him a fatal blow.
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Teng Junze secretly came to the place where he had contacted Fan Mengmeng.
The moonlight shone down, illuminating his handsome face, as well as the affection and helplessness in his eyes.
Fan Mengmeng's figure appeared in the distance. She walked hurriedly and looked tired.
The two looked into each other's eyes, and everything was said without words...
"Mengmeng..." Teng Junze called softly.
"Mengmeng..." Teng Junze called softly, with a barely perceptible tremor in his tone.
He walked quickly to Fan Mengmeng. The moonlight outlined the clear contours of his face, highlighting the fatigue between his brows.
Fan Mengmeng forced a smile, fighting back tears. "I'm fine..."
"Are you okay?" Teng Junze caressed her cheek lovingly, feeling the coolness of her skin with his fingertips. "Your eyes can't deceive me."
Fan Mengmeng could no longer hold back her tears. She threw herself into Teng Junze's arms and poured out all her grievances and fatigue.
Teng Junze hugged her tightly, as if he was hugging a fragile treasure. His chin rested on the top of her head, and he felt her body trembling, and a strong desire to protect her surged in his heart.
"Mr. Lin, I will make him pay the price." Teng Junze's voice was low and firm, like ice and snow in the cold winter, with a biting chill.
Fan Mengmeng raised her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes, "No, I can handle it myself." She wiped away her tears, a determined light flashing in her eyes.
In the next few days, Fan Mengmeng seemed like a different person. She devoted herself to her work. With her solid professional knowledge and keen insight, she successfully solved the difficulties in the project and completed the task ahead of schedule.
Mr. Lin originally wanted to laugh at her, but he didn't expect to shoot himself in the foot. At the project report meeting, Fan Mengmeng's outstanding performance made her colleagues look at her with admiration, and also made Mr. Lin lose face.
At the same time, Teng Junze was also actively investigating the whereabouts of the mysterious old man and "them" in ancient times.
He discovered that the old man had a close relationship with a powerful official in the court, who was his father's political enemy.
Teng Junze realized that things were far more complicated than he had imagined. This was not just a fight for treasure, but also a political game.
Teng Junze's father had always hoped that he could marry the prime minister's daughter to consolidate the family's power, but Teng Junze was very resistant to this marriage.
There is only Fan Mengmeng in his heart, and there is no room for anyone else.
He decided to resolve the current crisis as soon as possible, and then return to the modern era to be with Fan Mengmeng forever.
On a dark and windy night, Teng Junze took advantage of the cover of darkness to sneak into the mansion of a powerful official. He found the old man and learned the secret of "landscape painting" from him.
It turns out that "landscape painting" is not a treasure map, but a key that can open a door to another time and space.
And this time and space is exactly the world where Fan Mengmeng is.
Teng Junze was shocked, and he finally understood the real purpose of "theirs".
They don't want treasure, but want to invade the modern world and obtain modern technology and resources.
He must stop them, protect Fan Mengmeng, and protect everything he loves.
The next morning, family members gathered in the Teng family ancestral hall.
In front of all the elders, Teng Junze openly announced his rejection of the marriage proposal to the prime minister's daughter.
His voice was sonorous and powerful, leaving no room for doubt.
"I have someone in my heart, and I will marry her in this life!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar...
There was a dead silence in the ancestral hall. Teng Junze's words were like thunder, making everyone's eardrums buzz.
His father, the head of the Teng family, had a dark face and dropped the teacup in his hand heavily on the table, making a crisp sound and splashing tea everywhere.
"Rebellious son! Do you know what you are saying?" The patriarch's voice was filled with suppressed anger, and veins bulged on his forehead.
Teng Junze met his father's gaze without fear, his eyes firm: "Father, I have made up my mind. I will marry no one else but her in this life!" His tone was firm, with no intention of giving in.
"Ridiculous! How can marriage be treated as a joke? The Prime Minister's daughter is gentle and virtuous, and they are a perfect match for her. How can a woman of unknown origin like you compare to her?" The clan leader shouted angrily, his fingers trembling as he pointed at Teng Junze.
"In my heart, she is better than any other woman in the world." Teng Junze's tone was calm, but with unquestionable firmness.
Other elders in the ancestral hall also tried to dissuade him, some with reason, some with emotion, but Teng Junze remained unmoved.
"Are you going to disregard the interests of the family for a woman?" The patriarch's voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Family interests? Do I have to sacrifice my happiness for the sake of family interests?" Teng Junze asked back with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"You..." The clan leader was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Teng Junze and couldn't speak for a long time.
"Father, I have made up my mind. Please support me!" Teng Junze bowed again with a firm tone.
After a long stalemate, the clan leader sat back in his chair dejectedly and waved his hand, "Go away, I don't want to see you again!"
Teng Junze said nothing more and turned to leave the ancestral hall. His back was straight and resolute, like a towering mountain, standing tall and unshakable.
Meanwhile, in modern times, Fan Mengmeng finally gets rid of Master Lin's entanglement.
She cleverly used work matters to make Mr. Lin realize that she was not as weak and vulnerable as he imagined.
Although Mr. Lin was angry, he had no choice but to temporarily give up his pursuit of Fan Mengmeng.
Fan Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief, but did not dare to let her guard down at all.
She knew that Master Lin was only retreating temporarily, and he would definitely come back as soon as he had the chance.
She must find a solution to the problem as soon as possible and completely get rid of Master Lin's entanglement.
Just then, the courier delivered a package.
There was no sender information on the package, only Fan Mengmeng's name and address.
Fan Mengmeng was confused and opened the package carefully. Inside was a stone with strange symbols engraved on it.
She picked up the stone and looked at it carefully. An inexplicable sense of familiarity came over her... "This..." she muttered to herself.
