Chapter 20 These Beasts!_1
Xiang Dongfeng's voice came out cool and reminded Director Cheng, "Director Cheng, don't forget where we are. This is the infamous Old Place. Even I wouldn't dare to make trouble here, do you dare to mess around?"
Director Cheng sneered lightly, his eyes showing mockery, "Xiang Dongfeng, stop trying to scare me and cut the nonsense. Hurry up and let my daughter and me out, and once we're in the car, I will naturally give you the remaining item in my hand, no going back on my word!"
Xiang Dongfeng narrowed his eyes in thought, and then, upon seeing one of his men make an "OK" gesture at the door, he slowly stood up with a smile, glanced at Director Cheng, and said indifferently, "Alright, today I will escort Director Cheng and Miss Cheng on their way. Please, you two!"
Xiang Dongfeng signaled with his eyes to the two men holding Cheng Xuetong.
The two men immediately pushed Cheng Xuetong forcefully towards Director Cheng.
With such a strong push, Cheng Xuetong stumbled forward.
Just as she was about to fall, Director Cheng rushed forward with quick reflexes and caught her, holding her steadily in his arms.
He gently tore off the tape from Cheng Xuetong's mouth and untied the ropes binding her hands. Looking at his daughter's injuries, he choked up and asked, "Tongtong, are you alright?"
Cheng Xuetong hugged him tightly, crying with tears streaming down her face, "Dad, you shouldn't have come! You really shouldn't have! Sobs..."
Director Cheng gently patted his daughter's back, soothing her, "Don't be afraid! Tongtong, Dad is here, Dad won't let them hurt you! Don't be scared!"
Cheng Xuetong felt as though she was back in her childhood when she felt scared, and her father would always hold her like this, comfort her, and tell her not to be afraid.
