Chapter 131 Stealing from her head
Cai Xiuxiu looked gentle, but there was a hint of hostility in her eyes.
This woman is far superior to her in both looks and demeanor.
"And who are you?" Wenrou felt Cai Xiuxiu's eyes were filled with hatred, and although she already had a guess in her mind, she still asked.
"I...I am Lu Ming's...friend." Cai Xiuxiu originally wanted to say that she was Lu Ming's fiancée, but when she thought that their two families had already broken off the engagement, she changed her words.
"Friends? So this is how you treat your friends? You're the ones who caused Lu Ming's injury, aren't you?" Wenrou looked at Cai Xiuxiu and Guo Chao, her face suddenly turning cold.
Guo Chao sized Wenrou up and down, then said with a disdainful look, "So what if it is? Hand over the stuff now, and I'll spare you. Otherwise..."
After saying that, he wore a malicious smile, looked at Wenrou, and teased Lu Ming in front of him, "Or how about I show you what I'm capable of?"
Lu Ming knew Guo Chao; he had been to the police station many times for fighting.
Besides, Guo Chao was someone he provoked, and it had nothing to do with Wenrou.
Seeing Guo Chao's appraising gaze, Lu Ming's eyes turned cold.
He grabbed a stick from the side and stood in front of Wenrou, saying, "What's between us is none of anyone else's business. Why are you taking it out on me? Why are you making things difficult for a woman?"
Although Lu Ming couldn't beat Guo Chao, he still dared not back down because of his gentle nature.
"Run, get away from here, run as far away as you can," Lu Ming whispered to Wen Rou.
"Isn't she your girlfriend? She's really good-looking. You're lucky, kid. I wonder what it's like to sleep with her?" Guo Chao looked at Wenrou with a lewd grin on his face.
"You dare touch her? I... I'll fight you to the death." Even at this moment, Lu Ming did not forget to protect Wenrou.
Seeing Lu Ming protecting this woman so much, Cai Xiuxiu felt even more jealous.
"Lu Ming, are you crazy? Going against Guo Chao for a woman you just met, haven't you been taught a lesson yet?"
Hearing Lu Ming's protective and gentle words, Cai Xiuxiu was somewhat overwhelmed.
Just then, Wenrou, who had been silent all along, took the stick from Lu Ming's hand and, without saying a word, struck Guo Chao.
"Say what you just said again?" Wenrou's face darkened.
Since this Guo Chao wants to die, she doesn't mind letting him taste what it's like to be taught a lesson.
Guo Chao didn't expect Wenrou to suddenly attack. Caught off guard, he was hit by the stick and instinctively blocked it with his arm.
He underestimated Wenrou's strength. In just one blow, with a "crack" sound, his arm was broken by Wenrou.
"You bitch, how dare you hit me?" Guo Chao was so angry that he stepped forward to confront Wenrou.
Lu Ming was also quite frightened at this moment. He did not expect Wenrou to make the first move.
Just as he was about to help her, he saw Wenrou raise the stick and continue to lash at Guo Chao.
Wenrou hadn't done this much physical activity since giving birth.
Although Guo Chao is physically stronger than the average person, he is not as strong as Wen Rou.
Furthermore, since Wenrou also knows some grappling techniques, he is even less of a match for her.
He usually only gets to bully people like Lu Ming, but this time he's really unlucky to have run into Wenrou.
Lu Ming originally wanted to go up and help Wenrou, but when he saw that she had subdued Guo Chao all by herself, he was completely stunned.
Cai Xiuxiu never expected that Lu Ming's new partner would be so amazing.
This woman looks gentle and weak, but she shows no mercy when she beats people up.
She stood there, forgetting to run, just staring blankly.
Wenrou grabbed a rope from the side and threw it to Lu Ming, "Tie him up."
Lu Ming nodded subconsciously and obediently tied up Guo Chao, who had been beaten half to death by Wenrou, with a rope.
Just then, Wenrou finally remembered Cai Xiuxiu who was standing next to her.
"And you, are you going to the police station yourself, or do you want me to kidnap you?"
"The Public Security Bureau?" Cai Xiuxiu didn't know what this matter had to do with the Public Security Bureau.
She looked at Lu Ming, her face immediately showing a hint of panic.
"Lu Ming, please let me go this time, for the sake of the fact that we almost became husband and wife. I promise I'll never do it again."
Cai Xiuxiu's words made Wenrou look at Lu Ming with some curiosity, "Husband and wife? You and her had this relationship before?"
Lu Ming frowned as he looked at Cai Xiuxiu and gently explained, "We broke off our engagement a long time ago, and we have nothing to do with each other anymore."
"Oh, that makes things easier. Once my husband gets here, we'll take them to the police station. They dared to steal from me; they're just unlucky."
Lu Ming nodded. After all, this was a gentle place, and how to deal with them was up to her.
He was still in shock. Was the person who had just chased and beaten Guo Chao really the Wenrou he knew?
No wonder she didn't even consider running when I told her to.
He underestimated her.
However, this also made him feel even more ashamed.
He's a grown man, yet he's not even as good as a woman, having to rely on her to protect him.
"Don't feel pressured. I forgot to tell you before, I'm not much of a person, except that I'm usually a little strong. Did I scare you?" Wenrou reached out and patted his shoulder, asking with a smile.
Lu Ming shook his head. "Thank you."
If it weren't for his gentleness, he really wouldn't know how to deal with these two.
Cai Xiuxiu only realized what Wenrou had just said after hearing it.
"Your husband? Between you and Lu Ming..."
She looked at her gently and chuckled, "What? Didn't Lu Ming tell you? He and I are just friends. At most, I'm just his boss. But a woman like you is really not good enough for him. You'd better explain things to the police later."
Her words made Cai Xiuxiu freeze on the spot. It turned out that she and Lu Ming had no relationship and that she had misunderstood.
Just as she was about to plead with Lu Ming to let her go, Huo Yanchuan arrived.
He originally came to find Wenrou, but he didn't expect to see this scene after entering.
"What happened?" he asked, puzzled.
"It's nothing. These two were trying to steal something, and I caught them. You can take them to the police station in a bit," Wenrou explained to Huo Yanchuan.
This place used to belong to the military, and although it now belongs to her, it is temporarily under the jurisdiction of the military.
These two fearless thieves ended up here; they can only accept their bad luck.
"Soldiers? How come there are soldiers?" Cai Xiuxiu was even more shocked when she saw Huo Yanchuan in military uniform.
"You don't know this, do you? This area is under the jurisdiction of the military. You and Guo Chao came to the military base to steal things, so of course the soldiers will deal with you two," Lu Ming said to Cai Xiuxiu.
Upon hearing his words, Cai Xiuxiu was so frightened that she almost fainted on the spot.
"You go back first, I'll take them to the police station and come back," Huo Yanchuan said to Wenrou.
Wenrou nodded gently and handed the matter over to him to handle.
After all, with him involved, he represents the military, and the Public Security Bureau will definitely give him face.
"Are you leaving or not?" After Wenrou left, Huo Yanchuan looked at Lu Ming beside him and asked coldly.
Lu Ming looked at Huo Yanchuan, nodded, and then followed Huo Yanchuan to take Guo Chao and the others to the Public Security Bureau.
After waking up and learning that he had been convicted of stealing from the military, Guo Chao fainted again because he couldn't accept it.
Being knocked unconscious by a woman was humiliating enough, but now he's been arrested and brought to the police station for stealing from the military base. He guesses he's done for this time.
If he had known that woman was a military family member, how could he have offended her?
Unfortunately, it's too late for him to regret it now. If he had known that it was military territory, he wouldn't have dared to go in even if he had ten times the courage.
Cai Xiuxiu cried her eyes out in front of Lu Ming, and even knelt down before him on the spot.
"Lu Ming, I really know I was wrong. I was bewitched. I've always loved you. Please save me. I don't want to go to jail."
How did she know that the place Lu Ming had been visiting recently was military territory, and that the woman was actually a military family member?
She was now filled with regret. She had originally wanted to rekindle her relationship with Lu Ming, but now she didn't care anymore. All she wanted was to get out of there.
"Cai Xiuxiu, you'd better watch yourself. I can't help you with the crime you've committed this time." Lu Ming looked at Cai Xiuxiu with a cold face, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
All of their relationship ended after Cai Xiuxiu broke off their engagement.
This time she offended Wenrou, and she deserved it.
After Lu Ming finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the police station, ignoring Cai Xiuxiu's calls from behind.
Seeing that there was nothing more for him to do here, Huo Yanchuan gave some instructions to the police officers and then turned and left.
When Lu Ming saw Huo Yanchuan come out, he called out to him.
"I'm sorry, this is my fault. I'm glad Comrade Wenrou is alright. I'm the one who caused you trouble." This time, he took the initiative to apologize to Huo Yanchuan.
He used to think that Huo Yanchuan was not good enough for Wenrou, but today, without them, he would not know how to solve Guo Chao's problem.
"If you really want to apologize, then fix that water pump in the military family compound. If it weren't for my wife, I wouldn't have bothered with this," Huo Yanchuan said expressionlessly.
He looked at the injuries on Lu Ming's face and body, and shook his head, unable to bear to look at them.
"I'll go fix it tomorrow." Lu Ming agreed without hesitation this time.
Seeing this, Huo Yanchuan didn't say anything more and went back.
After Lu Ming returned home, his family learned what had happened.
However, because of this incident, they had no objection to Lu Ming and Wen Rou's collaboration.
They were initially worried, but now it seems that the people in that unit are indeed formidable.
Lu Ming was lucky to be able to cooperate with them.
Although Lu Ming was injured after this incident, without Guo Chao's interference, he can continue to slowly make money by collecting old appliances.
Not long after Wenrou returned home, Huo Yanchuan came back. She was in a good mood today, so she specially cooked several dishes, just waiting for him to come back and eat.
"Is everything taken care of?" she asked gently as he returned.
Huo Yanchuan hummed in agreement, and was also taken aback when he saw that she had cooked the meal herself today.
"Why did you cook yourself?"
She smiled gently. "I'm in a good mood, don't you want to eat my cooking?"
The two of them weren't actually picky about food. With Aunt Zhao cooking, Wenrou was happy to relax.
However, after eating Aunt Zhao's cooking for a long time, we got tired of it.
She got some exercise from beating someone up today, and when she got back she was hungry, so she decided to cook for herself.
I must say, Wenrou's cooking skills are truly exceptional.
She hadn't even finished cooking the dish, but you could already smell the aroma outside.
"Xiaorou, your cooking is really good. The food you make smells so good," Aunt Zhao praised after smelling the aroma.
Huo Yanchuan smelled the aroma, swallowed hard, washed his hands, and went into the kitchen.
"What is this?" He looked at the large basin in front of him, which was covered with a layer of bright red chili peppers and seemed to contain fish, and asked in confusion.
"Grilled fish, huh?"
She spoke gently, while her hands were busy stir-frying braised pork.
The kitchen was filled with the aroma of meat, even better than what we ate during the Chinese New Year.
She hadn't eaten grilled fish in a long time either. Since finishing her postpartum confinement, she had been eating very bland food every day and hadn't had anything spicy or numbing for a long time.
Today, I suddenly had the urge to eat grilled fish, so I decided to make it myself.
Besides these two dishes, Wenrou also made sweet and sour pork and Mapo tofu, both of which are her favorites.
Seeing this, Huo Yanchuan rolled up his sleeves and helped her out.
Aunt Zhao originally wanted to go in and help, but seeing the couple in the kitchen, she didn't go in.
"Let me do it." Seeing Wenrou coughing from the choking, Huo Yanchuan took the apron from her and put it on himself.
She looked at him gently, "You can do it?"
"I didn't do it as well as you, but it should be okay." Huo Yanchuan had learned this from his gentleness before.
He took off his military uniform, revealing a white shirt and apron underneath. Tall and slightly bent over, he was diligently working in the kitchen.
Seeing that he was becoming more and more skilled at cooking, Wenrou simply handed the cooking over to him.
They were busy in the kitchen, and the aroma filled the entire residential compound.
Outside, Aunt Feng and Sun Mei were watching Wenrou's house with longing eyes. It wasn't a holiday or festival, yet Wenrou's family was eating braised pork and fish, which made them incredibly envious.
However, all they could do was look on with envy.
It's because they're incompetent and can't make money.
Soon, the food was served. Wenrou called Aunt Zhao several times, but she didn't answer. She went to check the room, but no one was there.
Just then, Aunt Zhao walked in from outside.
"Auntie, where have you been? Time to eat." Wenrou asked subconsciously.
When Aunt Zhao saw her, she hurriedly put the things she was holding into her pocket. "Oh, I'm coming right now."
Wenrou hadn't thought much of it at first, but seeing her flustered appearance, she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
