"That’s not acceptable, is it?" Guo Commander’s eyes widened, the whites stark against his dark face, and he spoke with an air of righteousness, "How can a man take money from a woman?"
Then, Guo Commander thumped his chest and declared, "You rest assured, I will definitely go to Huo Shiqian to settle this account!"
So, it seems he still wants Huo Shiqian to owe him a favor, huh?
Xia Chuyi sized up Guo Jiacheng and thought to herself: Who says soldiers are straightforward?
Let alone Huo Shiqian, even this seemingly straightforward Guo Commander has plenty of crafty tricks up his sleeve.
And he has a thick enough skin...
Xia Chuyi figured since this kind of "remarkable character" was Uncle Liberation Army’s own problem, he should deal with it himself.
"Then I must thank Guo Commander," Xia Chuyi said with supreme calm.
Upon hearing this, Guo Commander was immediately overjoyed and laughed heartily, "That’s right, you are really reasonable, little sister-in-law, not nitpicky at all!"
Xiao Zhen, who was standing by, looked at Xia Chuyi’s smile that seemed as serene as the calm clouds and soft breeze, and couldn’t help but think: That’s because she’s Huo Commander’s wife, who has seen through the thick-skinned side of yours, akin to an armored vehicle, and can’t be bothered to argue with you.
As the group chatted, suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, and a crowd of people dressed in work clothes jostled their way toward the Police Station.
"You shameless woman, lowly, dirty, can’t live without a man, can you? Flirting with men everywhere!" A shrill voice filled with cursing came from among the crowd.
And then, someone spotted them.
Maybe having seen Deputy Director Xiong’s uniform, someone immediately shouted, "Comrade police, we want to report a crime!"
"In our factory, there’s a shameless woman messing around, and a vixen seducing our leader!"
"Yes, yes, yes, someone who usually seems so gentle turned out to be such a shameless person..." the crowd of workers chirped.
Deputy Director Guo’s brow furrowed upon hearing these words, raising his voice to inquire, "What exactly happened? Speak clearly! Don’t make a ruckus here."
Deputy Director Guo signaled his subordinates to investigate and to bring over the involved parties.
Xia Chuyi and the others promptly stepped aside.
After all, it had nothing to do with them.
When Deputy Director Guo’s subordinates had gathered the details, they brought three people out from the crowd.
One was a young woman, looking disheveled; her clothes ripped and tattered, her hair a mess, head down she shivered.
Another, also in disarray but not as bad as the woman, was a plump middle-aged man.
Finally, there was a woman dressed rather fashionably and rather plump, which suggested a certain status; her face filled with anger.
"Director, I’ve roughly got it sorted, it seems to be a case of adultery," the policeman said.
"Adultery, what?" The plump woman burst out, clearly upset, "What do you mean, adultery? It was that shameless woman who seduced my husband!"
The policeman, chided thus, immediately retorted, "It takes two to tango, could she have slept with your husband on her own?"
The surrounding crowd, although they mostly seemed to agree with the plump woman’s side of the story, the fact was the police had already picked up on the truth.
It was likely that the plump woman’s husband had been messing around behind her back and been caught red-handed.
Indignant, she had captured the homewrecker vixen and brought her to the Police Station.
"Adultery, hooliganism, whatever it is, when does a man get forced by a woman?" the policeman said to the plump woman.
