Chapter 340: Chapter 340: Not When It Involves the Children

Lu Zhenping came home in the evening and saw that three hot dishes were placed in the hall, with the soup that Shen Meng had just put on the table.

"Back home?"

"Mm, hehehe, look how nice this is, I can have dinner right after getting off work, previously when I returned home I was alone, ah, you don’t know how cold I felt inside, thinking how nice it would be if my wife were here. Look, here you are now?"

Shen Meng rolled her eyes, thinking when did he learn to talk nonsense so smoothly.

"Hurry up and wash your hands, we’ll eat. Mingyang, you guys stop doing your homework too, come eat, and then go to sleep early. Tomorrow, mom will take you out for a stroll."

"Alright, mom, we’re coming, hehe, today we already met several kids at the County Committee Office compound, they are all so fun. Mom, we want to go to the school near the Police Station, can we?"

"Yes, when we return I’ll arrange your school transfer. But I have to remind you again, we’ll have to live a few days back at the County Committee Office compound, you can then decide if you want to go to school there, okay?"

"Mm-hmm!"

Ming Fang hastily agreed, she actually preferred to go to school in Ning County, as Daya was still there. No matter who she knew, Daya has always held the first place in her heart.

Initially, Lu Zhenping was quite happy, feeling that his blissful life and his children were fighting for him silently, but then his wife outdid him by presenting an option.

The joyful mood that was soaring high suddenly fell to the ground.

At night, in bed, the couple started to analyze the day’s events.

Seeing him frowning, Shen Meng thought about the person she encountered on the way home that evening and blurted everything out.

"That man was fair-skinned, tall, decent, and even wore osmanthus perfume. When he fell down, his groaning sounded quite pleasant, and his eyes were so alluring, it made one’s heart tickle. Zhenping, what do you think... hiss, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly pounce on me?"

"What do you think I’m doing, praising another man in front of me? Shen Meng, do you need to be taught a lesson?"

"Look at you, can’t even handle the truth? I’m just objectively stating the facts, and specifically, that person has something very valuable that you don’t."

Lu Zhenping stretched out his hand to rub her waist and leaned closer to her asking, "What?"

"Young!"

Lu Zhenping: "......"

Are you saying she’s old, what about him being old? He knew how to cherish and attend to her, and he was much better than those who looked good but were useless.

"They are all vain, unstable in handling things, couldn’t even ride a bicycle without falling, needing a lady comrade to help him up, I knew right away, he’s a weakling."

Shen Meng: "......"

Don’t be too aggressive!!!

"We are talking about serious matters, the people behind the scenes, targeting you first, then me, I’m scared that next they’ll target our children. Our four children, though intelligent, haven’t experienced much. In a few days, I will take them back to Ning County. Zhenping, I’m not afraid to brave a mountain of swords and a sea of flames with you, but not the children, if anyone dares to hurt my children, I will fight them fiercely."

Lu Zhenping withdrew his hands from Shen Meng, agreeing with her proposal, and he also has to report this matter upwards. If it’s just slandering directed towards him, he wouldn’t mind, but Shen Meng and the children must absolutely not be involved.

When he last came to the Provincial City on a mission, he realized the waters were deep here. He thought by not mixing with foul play, they could still live peacefully, but it was clear the people above had not planned to let him off.

He was a little confused as to why Commander Bai insisted on arranging him to come here initially.

"Okay, in a few days, in two more days you’ll take the kids back to Ning County. If anything comes up, call us anytime."

"Okay."

Once everything was settled, the two of them dared to sleep.

Shen Meng initially thought she was just going to catch the people who wanted to target Lu Zhenping. She had never imagined she herself would also become part of someone else’s scheme. The man’s performance in the evening was very exaggerated. If it were an ordinary female comrade, most would likely be deceived, but not her.

In her future company, when looking for spokespeople, she had close contact with several top influencers; oh my, their little faces were so tender, smooth, and beautiful.

Even though she usually had a strict temperament when dealing with projects, she couldn’t help but speak softly in front of these top influencers; she was afraid her loud voice would frighten them.

So for someone like Jiang Wei, who acted like an auntie, she would rank them far behind in her priority.

It was clear he intended to get close to her, but she could see through such people. However, the four children might not necessarily notice. Ming Kai is fine; he is young and usually either stays at home with her or is accompanied by acquaintances without being left alone.

But the other three children were different; they had to go to school, rural schools didn’t have anyone to pick them up, and in the city near the County Committee Office, there was an elementary school. They lived close enough and didn’t need anyone to pick them up, just crossing two streets to get there. So if someone wanted to harm the children from behind, those three would be in great danger.

She couldn’t let the children be placed in danger.

Shen Meng thought that after treating the people from the Police Station to a meal the next day, she would take the kids and leave.

"Stop worrying, I won’t let anything happen to the children, rest assured."

"Mm!"

Overthinking is useless; better to conserve energy.

The next day, Shen Meng took the four children out for a stroll. She originally planned to cancel today’s shopping, but on a whim, she wanted to test if she would encounter Jiang Wei; if she did, it would really confirm her suspicions.

She herself held an official’s ID, so she could directly take the children to the Friendship Store. The store was large with various counters, and although it wasn’t Mingyang and the children’s first time, they still found it fascinating and their eyes sparkled.

"Go see if there’s anything you like. Mom brought enough money today for you to buy stuff. Go have a look."

"Oh, Mom, I want a small flower backpack, the pretty kind I saw another little girl wearing yesterday. Can you buy it for me?"

Shen Meng pinched Ming Fang’s little cheek.

"Sure, whatever you want today, Mom will buy it for you!"

Mingyang and the others straightforwardly headed for the toy section. These days, the toys that could entertain children, which they had seen at the Cooperative Society, no longer appealed to them. But the Friendship Store in Provincial City was different. This Friendship Store had foreign guests coming to shop, so toys like these were more in line with international designs. Shen Meng saw her youngest son, staring unblinkingly at a big green toy truck.

She said to the clerk, "Hello, please grab that green toy for me."

"Hello, please get that green toy for me, oh, what a coincidence, comrade, are you here to shop too?"

Shen Meng: "....."

Now it was confirmed, this person was targeting her!!!
