The three people widened their eyes.
They knew that given Gu Xijun’s personality, something was bound to happen when she was with Yang Chen.
But they didn’t expect the two of them to start squabbling the moment they met!
"What’s going on? Is Yang Chen hurt?" Zhao Wende was still worried that Gu Xijun would cause trouble.
Even though Yang Chen was merely a retired guard, judging by how highly Li Muyang and Old Zhuo regarded Yang Chen, it was definitely not that simple.
Now that Yang Chen was injured, and Gu Xijun was the champion of the grand competition, with a personality that knows no bounds, if she ends up crippling someone during the fight, that would be troublesome.
But if he were to voice this thought, the people present would all clearly tell him: You’re overthinking.
Not being in the Guard, not knowing the situation, and being outside certain positions means some things can’t be understood. Even if Yang Chen was injured, his fighting ability wasn’t something ordinary people could resist.
"No, it’s just that both of them were very angry, and Yang Chen even vented his anger at me," Xiaowang looked toward Li Muyang for help.
"Oh?" Li Muyang seemed to understand Xiaowang’s intention and chuckled as he asked, "What did he say?"
Xiaowang recounted what Yang Chen had said at that time and then looked worriedly at Li Muyang, saying, "Major, do you think if he ever..."
Just then, Zhao Wende’s phone rang. He took it out for a look and told everyone with a conflicted expression, "It’s Xijun."
Li Muyang and Old Zhuo both smiled, indicating Zhao Wende should answer the call.
Helpless, Zhao Wende cautiously answered the phone.
Beside him, Xiaowang whispered to Li Muyang, "Major, do you think if one day Yang Chen really comes to our guard as an instructor, am I doomed?"
"Oh!" Li Muyang looked at Xiaowang and said, "You’re overthinking, Yang Chen is not that kind of person."
"But..." Xiaowang was still worried, as Yang Chen’s status was too high, forcing him to be concerned.
Li Muyang waved his hand, signaling Xiaowang to stop talking and focus on listening to Zhao Wende’s phone call.
They watched Zhao Wende, whose face looked troubled, and even without speakerphone, they could clearly hear the yelling from the other side.
"Captain! What are you doing? Why didn’t you coordinate with Yang Chen properly before sending me over? Do you know how embarrassed I was today? I was almost thrown out! Anyway, I don’t care, I’m taking this case, the rest you settle, I’m going to investigate this case, and if anyone dares to stop me, I’ll drag the corpse from the mourning hall to serve as evidence, don’t blame me for being unethical!"
Gu Xijun was genuinely desperate this time.
She wouldn’t really do that, but in order to seize this opportunity, she had to say some harsh words.
"Nonsense!" Zhao Wende immediately got angry, rebuking, "If you dare to do such a thing, I’ll immediately fire you!"
This time Zhao Wende was truly angry, possibly because of Gu Xijun’s family background, no one had ever dared oppose her in the unit, but this also led to Gu Xijun’s reckless behavior.
What was going on this time?
How could she get away with such nonsense!
"I’m telling you, Gu Xijun! Stop this task immediately, I will personally take charge! You are not allowed to intervene, and if you dare cause any trouble again, I’ll personally go to your father and place your dismissal notice in front of him!"
Gu Xijun was stunned, she didn’t expect Zhao Wende to get this angry.
"Don’t call me Captain, you’re given a week’s leave, reflect well at home!" Zhao Wende angrily hung up the phone.
Li Muyang and Old Zhuo also exchanged glances.
After a few sips of tea, Old Zhuo spoke, "Let’s go! To the mourning hall, to see Xiaowei off!"
The three stood up, ready to set off.
Gu Xijun sat in her car, crying in the driver’s seat.
She had never felt this type of grievance before.
She genuinely just wanted to help Yang Chen, to work together with him, she had never had any other thoughts, but why wouldn’t they give her a chance?
Thinking about the grievance she felt when fighting with Yang Chen, Gu Xijun cried even harder.
Though she appeared to be a tough woman, deep down she was actually very conservative and vulnerable.
From childhood to adulthood, she always wanted to excel, many men liked her, but those who dared get close to her were rare.
So, she had never dated, had never held hands, had never kissed, and had never been touched by a man.
Except for Yang Chen.
This feeling of humiliation made Gu Xijun sob uncontrollably.
Moreover, Zhao Wende had just ordered her, giving her a week’s leave, and told her not to interfere with the case.
That crushed all her enthusiasm.
After crying for a while, Gu Xijun finally gasped and stopped her tears.
She picked up the documents tossed on the center console and began to scrutinize them.
Sincerely, she had compiled a lot of data overnight, on Liu Chengpeng’s life and some secret and dirty deeds by Liu Zekai.
Although the deeds by Liu Zekai were hidden by Liu Chengpeng, Gu Xijun’s abilities were such that she could still uncover them.
Also the financial information of both of them, and some people they recently contacted, including the itinerary of their overseas trip, she had investigated thoroughly.
Simply looking at her dark circles revealed she had stayed up quite late last night.
Was all her effort to be wasted?
Gu Xijun was never one to admit defeat!
Then I’ll use this week to clear up everything about this matter, to surprise everyone!
"Yang Chen! You just wait to be surprised by me!" Gu Xijun said angrily.
Standing in the mourning hall, Yang Chen was somewhat unsettled for the first time.
He occasionally glanced at Ye Xin, then at Zhang Shaoting, worried this guy might spill his secrets.
Actually, it was nothing, he had nothing with Gu Xijun, he was upright and righteous, not afraid of anything.
But sometimes, when a person cares too much about something, it affects their judgment.
Yang Chen was , he cared too much about Ye Xin, afraid of being misunderstood by her, thus falling into such a cycle.
Ye Xin also felt strange, she could see some oddity in Yang Chen since he got back.
It’s just that there were too many guests now, making it inconvenient to ask.
The guests came and went, all keeping silent.
But Yang Chen kept watching these people, some were genuinely sad, some had no feelings at all, while others seemed happy in others’ misfortune.
Yang Chen wasn’t interested in these people.
What he cared about was Liu Chengpeng and Liu Zekai.
From start to finish, neither of them appeared.
Could they not have returned yet?
Yang Chen regretted forgetting to ask Gu Xijun about their whereabouts.
At this moment, Yang Chen noticed Xiaowang coming in again, and couldn’t help but frown.
Didn’t he say it already? No need to interact with them anymore, it would only create more trouble.
Xiaowang approached Yang Chen and spoke in a low voice, "Yang Chen, Elder Zhuo is here."
Yang Chen on hearing this, immediately widened his eyes.
