Chu Yang looked at Zhong Ling's disappointed look and said calmly: "Yes, I witnessed with my own eyes the process of you being held hostage by the killer, but the killer also had his throat cut by me and died. I saved your life."
"Brother Chu, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person. In fact, it was justifiable for you to hide just now. We won't really pursue you, but I didn't expect you to lie!" Song Mingyang said again.
Zhong Ling shook his head in disappointment again: "Chu Yang, I'm so disappointed in you. At this point, you actually want to compete with Brother Mingyang for credit. I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"
Seeing that Zhong Ling was bewitched by Song Mingyang, Chu Yang spread his hands indifferently: "It's up to you whether you believe it or not."
At this moment, Zhong Zhanguo also rushed over with Dong Heihu and the guards. When he saw the body in black lying on the ground, he immediately understood what happened.
"Ling'er, are you okay, Ling'er?" Zhong Zhanguo pulled Zhong Ling over and held him in his arms: "Let grandpa see if he is injured."
When Zhong Ling saw her grandfather, tears welled up in her eyes again: "Uuuuuuu, Grandpa, someone wanted to assassinate you. They put a dagger to my neck and forced me to tell you which room you were in. Uuuuuuu, I almost didn't see you. Already..."
Zhong Zhanguo reached out and patted his granddaughter's back gently, and said comfortingly: "If Ling'er doesn't cry, grandpa will investigate the matter thoroughly, find out the real culprit behind the scenes, and vent his anger on Ling'er."
"Grandpa, fortunately, brother Mingyang saved me in time. He is a great benefactor to our Zhong family." Zhong Ling said with a tearful voice.
Zhong Zhanguo glanced at Song Mingyang and nodded: "Mingyang, thanks to you this time, I will reward you heavily."
However, Song Mingyang showed a humble look and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, Grandpa Zhong, I don't want rewards. Ling'er is my fiancée. It is my duty to save her."
When Zhong Zhanguo heard the name "fiancée", the corners of his eyes wrinkled slightly, seeming a little uncomfortable.
Then, Zhong Zhanguo looked at Chu Yang who was not far away: "Oh, Chu Yang is here too."
Zhong Ling said: "Grandpa, this is the good son-in-law you chose for me. He saw me being held hostage earlier, but he hid behind and didn't dare to come out. He acted like a coward. After Brother Mingyang killed the assassin, he came back again." He came out to compete with Brother Mingyang for credit, saying that he killed the assassin and he saved me. I have never seen such a shameless person."
Zhong Zhanguo shook his head and said, "Ling'er, there must be some misunderstanding here. From what I know about Chu Yang, he is definitely not this kind of person."
"Grandpa, that's because I haven't encountered an emergency before. When it comes to real things, Brother Ming Yang is more reliable." Zhong Ling said.
Zhong Ling's words left Chu Yang speechless. It was obviously him who saved Zhong Ling, but it was all Song Mingyang's credit.
Then he said with relief: "I don't care about any merit at all, and I don't want to explain too much. Since you don't trust me, then I won't help you if you encounter this kind of situation next time."
Zhong Zhanguo looked at Chu Yang and showed a kind smile: "Chu Yang, there is a misunderstanding. It should be a misunderstanding. Let me find out the truth."
Zhong Zhanguo knew Chu Yang's character too well, otherwise he wouldn't be able to trust his granddaughter to Chu Yang.
Instead, he glanced at Song Mingyang, with a hint of anger in the corners of his eyes.
