End of the World Crisis, My Husband is from Ancient Times
Chapter 61: Uncovering the Conspiracy
The factory gate slowly opened, and a familiar figure walked out...it was Master Lin!
He had a smug smile on his face, and was surrounded by several men in black, all of whom looked ferocious and it was obvious that they were not good people.
Master Lin glanced disdainfully at Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze, who were hiding in the shadows, and said in a tone filled with sarcasm, "Hey, isn't this our talented Fan Mengmeng and this noble young man from ancient times? How come you're interested in our plan too?"
Fan Mengmeng's heart sank. Why was Master Lin here?
Is he also a member of the evil forces?
A chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and she subconsciously tightened her grip on Teng Junze's hand.
Teng Junze was also shocked, but he quickly calmed down, protecting Fan Mengmeng behind him, staring at Master Lin with a sharp gaze, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
Master Lin laughed out loud, as if he had heard some huge joke: "Who am I? Of course I'm here to help you! Do you think that just the two of you can stop our great plan? That's just wishful thinking!" The man in black behind him laughed along, his tone contemptuous, as if Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze were just two ants who overestimated their own capabilities.
"You...you actually betrayed me!" Fan Mengmeng stared at Master Lin in disbelief. The rich young man who once pursued her was now standing against her. This betrayal made her feel extremely sad.
Xiaohong's figure flashed out from behind Master Lin, with a gloating smile on her face, and she said sarcastically: "Fan Mengmeng, you don't even look at your own identity. You actually want to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix. You don't even take a piss and look at yourself!" Xiaohong's words pierced Fan Mengmeng's heart like a sharp knife. She felt powerless and desperate.
Teng Junze felt Fan Mengmeng's trembling, he held her hand tightly, giving her silent comfort and strength.
He glanced coldly at Master Lin and Xiao Hong, his tone filled with majesty: "Do you think you can stop us like this? You underestimate us!"
At the same time, in the Teng family mansion, the atmosphere of the family meeting was tense.
Teng Junze's father sat in the main seat with a dark face.
Several elders accused Teng Junze of breaking off the engagement for a woman of unknown origin, which was a disgrace to the family.
They produced so-called evidence, saying that Fan Mengmeng had ulterior motives and approached Teng Junze in order to seize the Teng family's property.
Teng Junze calmly refuted each one, but he could feel that the voices of opposition were growing louder and louder, and the pressure was like a mountain pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.
Outside the abandoned factory, a mysterious old man slowly walked out. He swept his sinister eyes over Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time." Taoist Chen followed him timidly, his eyes full of fear and helplessness.
Teng Junze protected Fan Mengmeng behind him. He knew that a fierce battle was inevitable.
He whispered to Fan Mengmeng, "Mengmeng, I'll find a way to delay them later, you take the opportunity..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the mysterious old man.
"Want to run? Not that easy!" The mysterious old man gave an order, and the men in black immediately surrounded Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze.
Fan Mengmeng's hand tightly grasped a small metal device, which was her last hope...
Fan Mengmeng took a deep breath and calmly activated the metal device in her hand - a modified signal jammer - in the chaos.
The low buzzing sound is barely audible in the noisy environment, but it is like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
The originally well-organized team of men in black began to become agitated. Harsh noises came from the communicator, and the orders could not be conveyed. They were running around like a group of headless flies.
Master Lin's face changed drastically and he yelled hysterically into the communicator, but all he got was a noisy sound of electricity.
"What's going on! Damn it! Why is the signal cut off!" He was furious, veins bulging on his forehead, and his smug smile of confidence disappeared.
Xiaohong was also panicked, her face turned pale, she grabbed Master Lin's sleeves tightly, her eyes full of fear.
The mysterious old man noticed something was wrong. His sinister gaze swept across the entire room and finally fell on the metal device in Fan Mengmeng's hand.
His pupils suddenly shrank, as if he understood something, and he shouted through gritted teeth, "It's her! Catch her!"
The men in black swarmed towards Fan Mengmeng again. Teng Junze waved the sword in his hand and forced back the men in black who were approaching Fan Mengmeng one by one.
His eyes were fierce and his movements were swift, like a tiger descending from the mountains, and no one could stop him.
At the same time, in the Teng family mansion, Teng Junze's father sat upright, listening to the elders' accusations against Fan Mengmeng.
He frowned, his heart full of contradictions.
At this moment, Teng Junze sent someone to deliver a secret letter, which detailed the conspiracy behind the marriage contract and attached key evidence.
After reading the letter, the elders' faces changed.
They didn't expect that this engagement was actually an elaborate trap, and they almost became pawns.
Teng Junze's father was even more shocked. He had always thought that this marriage was for the benefit of the family, but he did not expect that there was such a huge conspiracy behind it.
He looked at the end of the letter, which contained Teng Junze's signature and a short but powerful sentence: "I may be an unfilial son, but I will never let anyone manipulate me."
Father Teng took a deep breath, a complex emotion flashing across his eyes. He spoke slowly, his voice low and firm: "This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"
Outside the abandoned factory, Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze stood back to back, resisting the attacks of the men in black.
Fan Mengmeng's jammer continued to work, the communications of the men in black were completely paralyzed, and their offensive became disorganized.
The mysterious old man saw that the situation was not good and knew that today's plan had failed.
He glared at Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze fiercely, then turned and disappeared into the night.
Taoist Chen saw this and quickly ran away.
Master Lin and Xiaohong were left behind, their faces ashen, knowing that the game was over.
Fan Mengmeng looked at the fleeing enemies and felt a surge of joy of victory in her heart.
She turned to look at Teng Junze, only to find that he was looking into the distance, his eyes full of worry.
"Teng Junze..." Fan Mengmeng called his name softly.
Teng Junze turned around and looked at Fan Mengmeng, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, "Mengmeng, wait for me." Fan Mengmeng nimbly dodged the clumsy attacks of the man in black, and the whistling wind in her ears seemed to cheer her up.
Teng Junze's words of encouragement echoed in her mind, like a warm current, dispelling her fear and injecting strength.
"Mengmeng, you are stronger than you think." His firm voice seemed to be right next to her ears, calming her originally panicked heart.
Her eyes were determined and her movements were more agile. Like a nimble swallow, she moved freely among the men in black.
On the other side, Teng Junze argued with his elders in the Teng family mansion.
He laid out the evidence he had collected in front of everyone, exposing the conspiracy behind the engagement and the evil ambitions of the mysterious old man and Taoist Chen.
The elders were hesitant at first, but when Teng Junze produced solid evidence, especially the testimony that Taoist Chen was coerced, they finally believed what Teng Junze said.
Father Teng looked at his son's determined eyes, his heart filled with pride and satisfaction.
He publicly announced the cancellation of the engagement and ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.
After receiving the news, Teng Junze couldn't wait a moment. He jumped on his horse and galloped towards Fan Mengmeng.
He had only one thought in his mind: to return to Mengmeng as soon as possible, protect her, and fight alongside her.
At the same time, Fan Mengmeng also welcomed her victory.
She cleverly took advantage of Mr. Lin's conceited mentality and deliberately revealed some false information, exposing his ugly face in front of everyone.
Seeing Master Lin's downfall, Xiaohong hurriedly distanced herself from the matter and told the whole story of how Master Lin harassed Fan Mengmeng and how he coerced and bribed her to provide information.
When the truth came out, his colleagues at the company were disgusted by Mr. Lin's behavior and blamed him.
Mr. Lin was humiliated and left the company in disgrace.
Fan Mengmeng looked at Master Lin's embarrassed back, without any sense of pride in her heart, but instead a hint of sadness welled up in her heart.
She never thought of taking revenge on Master Lin, she just wanted to protect herself and maintain her dignity.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from afar. Fan Mengmeng looked up and saw Teng Junze riding a horse, appearing in front of her like a god descending to earth.
He dismounted, walked quickly to her, and held her tightly in his arms.
"Mengmeng, I'm here." His voice was low and gentle, with a barely perceptible tremor.
Fan Mengmeng buried her head in his chest, feeling his warm embrace, her heart filled with a sense of security.
"Teng Junze..." She called his name softly, with a hint of sob in her voice.
The two stood hugging each other, as if they were the only ones left in the world.
However, the mysterious old man hiding in the dark saw it all.
There was a sinister gleam in his eyes and his fists were clenched tightly.
"You all must die for ruining my plans!" He said gritting his teeth, a strong murderous intent spreading across the air.
He turned and left, disappearing into the night, leaving behind only a cold whisper: "The game has just begun..."
Teng Junze felt Fan Mengmeng's body tremble slightly. He patted her back gently and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." He raised his head, his eyes as sharp as torches, looking in the direction where the mysterious old man disappeared, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
He held Fan Mengmeng's hand tightly and said firmly, "Let's go."
After the mysterious old man left, he did not go far, but lurked in the dark, gathering manpower and preparing to deal a fatal blow to Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze.
He set up a tight net, waiting for the two men to fall into it.
Teng Junze held Fan Mengmeng's hand and was keenly aware of the strange atmosphere around him.
There was a solemn atmosphere in the air, and the shadows of the trees swayed, as if hiding countless pairs of eyes.
He looked around vigilantly and protected Fan Mengmeng behind him.
"Be careful!" Before Teng Junze finished speaking, several black shadows attacked from all directions, with swords and sabers flashing and murderous aura.
"Mengmeng, hide behind me!" Teng Junze protected Fan Mengmeng behind him and drew out the long sword he carried with him. The sword light was sharp and the chill was overwhelming.
He was agile and had exquisite swordsmanship. He moved among the men in black like a dragon, taking a life with every swing of his sword.
Although Fan Mengmeng was scared, she did not panic.
She knew that she couldn't be a burden to Teng Junze, so she took out the pepper spray from her shoulder bag and sprayed it at the approaching man in black.
A pungent smell filled the air, and the man in black fell to the ground in pain, covering his eyes.
The two men stood back to back, cooperating tacitly to resist wave after wave of attacks from the man in black.
However, the number of men in black was so large that it seemed impossible to kill them all, and the two men gradually felt overwhelmed.
At this moment, the Teng family guards arrived in time and joined the battle.
With their support, the situation of the battle turned around in an instant and the men in black were defeated.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the mysterious old man had no choice but to leave in hatred, leaving behind corpses and a strong smell of blood on the ground.
After the battle, Fan Mengmeng was still in shock and pale. Teng Junze hugged her in his arms, saying softly, "It's okay. Everything is over."
Fan Mengmeng leaned in Teng Junze's arms, feeling his strong heartbeat, and gradually calmed down.
However, she knew in her heart that this battle was just the beginning and greater challenges were waiting for them.
After returning to the Teng family, Teng Junze's father praised Fan Mengmeng's heroic performance and expressed his gratitude to her.
He announced publicly that the Teng family would fully support Teng Junze and Fan Mengmeng to fight against evil forces together.
However, just as everyone was celebrating their victory, Teng Junze's uncle, a seemingly gentle and harmless middle-aged man, mentioned casually in the Teng family meeting room: "My nephew has been acting a little strangely recently. I wonder if there is any unspeakable secret behind it..." His eyes slowly swept over everyone, and finally landed on Teng Junze, with a barely perceptible sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Teng Junze, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Teng Junze's fingers gripping the teacup tightened slightly...
