On the other end of the phone, the bodyguard spoke with a very stern tone.
"You shouldn’t be involved with matters in Ling County anymore."
"What, you were caught by the police? Did you mention anything about Ms. Lian’er?"
"I warn you, even if Miss Lian’er is confined, dealing with someone as insignificant as you would be effortless. Keep your mouth shut tight, do not spill any information about Miss Lian’er, even if it kills you!"
"Beep beep beep." The phone call ended.
The middle-aged man’s body went limp, and he collapsed on the ground, drenched in cold sweat.
Chang Luhui looked at the middle-aged man on the ground, then turned to Xia Chuyi.
Xia Chuyi furrowed her brows slightly.
She recalled the letter she had written to Huo Shiqian. Had he taken action already?
Since Chang Luhui was Huo Shiqian’s man, Xia Chuyi thought for a moment and decided not to hide anything, saying directly to him, "It must have been Brother Shi Qian who made the move."
"Huo Commander?" Chang Luhui glanced at the middle-aged man and the still hanging receiver, paused for a moment, then suddenly realized and smacked his head, "I understand now!"
No wonder they mentioned on the phone that Ou Lianlian had been confined!
"Given this, what about our plan?" Chang Luhui asked her.
Xia Chuyi said calmly, "No worries, my initial plan was just to set a trap for Ou Lianlian, to have leverage to counter her so she wouldn’t dare to reach out her hands here again."
"The current situation aligns with my expectations."
"So, let’s leave it as is, take this man into custody using the proper procedures, and that will be the end of this matter."
Chang Luhui immediately said, "Alright, let’s leave this matter here then. What about... Huo Commander?"
Hearing this, she couldn’t help but smile, "Don’t worry, if I don’t say anything, and you don’t say anything, he won’t know about this."
Chang Luhui chuckled and scratched his head.
His head was safe for now.
After dealing with the middle-aged man’s situation, Xia Chuyi planned to return to the shop.
"I’ll walk you!" Chang Luhui quickly offered.
He couldn’t let an incident like Xia Chuyi being harassed by a middle-aged man happen again under his watch!
So, he decided he needed to visit "Youwei" more often, whether or not there was a reason.
"Okay." Xia Chuyi did not refuse and nodded.
She understood the concerns in Chang Luhui’s mind — having the newly appointed Public Security Bureau Chief, Chang Luhui, often visit "Youwei" would surely deter any other foul creatures.
It was undeniable; Xia Chuyi did have foresight, as soon as she arrived at "Youwei," she found the unwanted troublemaker, Xia Lan.
"Xia Chuyi, was it you who reported Brother Qing? You bitch, Brother Qing was discharged from the military because of you, you ruined his future, you destroyed my life!" As soon as they met, Xia Lan charged at Xia Chuyi, looking like she wanted to tear her apart.
Xia Chuyi clenched her brows, about to make a move, when Xia Chengzong and Chang Luhui, two big men, stepped forward first.
"What are you doing!" Chang Luhui barked.
"Xia Lan, what’s gotten into you!" Xia Chengzong was closer, and he restrained Xia Lan at once, shouting at her.
"Let me go, let me go! Xia Chuyi, you bitch, bitch!" Xia Lan, restrained, kicked and punched at Xia Chengzong frantically, crying out, "Brother Qing was about to be promoted, and he was going to take me along to live gloriously as a military wife!"
"It’s all because of her, all because of her!"
