Chapter 20 Dr. Su

When the surrounding crowd saw the armed robber being apprehended by the police, they all gathered around and began to criticize him, saying, "You have hands and feet, why did you have to become a robber? Did you want to get some peanuts?"

"Exactly, exactly. Look at how young she is, there are so many good things she could do."

"This little girl is so brave. If she hadn't tripped him up, she probably would have run away."

Everyone applauded Wen Ci, who blushed with embarrassment and said, "No, no, this police officer is much better."

After the police handcuffed the robber, they glanced at the gold bracelet on Wen Ci's wrist and kindly advised, "You should keep the bracelet at home."

"Uh-huh."

The incident occurred not far from the guesthouse. A military pickup truck drove up, and the man spotted the beautiful Wen Ci in the crowd.

After getting off the bus, she walked up to Wen Ci and tentatively asked, "Are you Wen Ci's sister-in-law?"

The incident happened suddenly, and he didn't have any photos of Wen Ci. He only knew that Huo Jingyuan had mentioned what his sister-in-law looked like when he talked to him on the phone last night.

Wen Ci nodded: "Xue Li?"

"Mmm." Xue Li flashed his pearly white teeth: "She's my sister-in-law. You really are as beautiful as Brother Huo described, as lovely as a flower."

Wen Ci: "..."

Hearing the simple and unadorned praise, Wen Ci felt a chill run down her spine.

Xue Li reached out to help Wen Ci carry her things.

She politely declined, saying, "No, no."

Before the crowd had dispersed, Xue Li noticed the bloodstained dagger on the ground. His brows immediately hardened, and he calmly asked, "What happened?"

"Armed robbery, this girl tripped the man."

Xue Li's eyes widened. As Huo Jingyuan's closest subordinate, she had heard about Huo's engagement.

A pampered young lady who never lifts a finger, raised in a greenhouse. Just now, after hearing what a passerby said, I suddenly felt a surge of respect for Wen Ci. My sister-in-law actually dared to trip up even an armed robber.

That's incredibly audacious.

This guy's guts are on par with Brother Huo's.

"Sister-in-law, are you alright?"

Wen Ci shook her head: "It's nothing, it's nothing."

It was already nine o'clock when she left the mall after buying everything. It would take another six hours to get back to the Northwest Military Region compound, and Wen Ci wanted to settle in as soon as possible.
Wen Ci said, "The things we bought are at the entrance of the guesthouse. After we move them, let's hurry back to the military compound."

"No rush, let me load the things into the car first. I need to pick up a leader later."

"Oh, okay." Wen Ci nodded.

She remembered that Xue Li hadn't come specifically to pick her up.
-
Xue Li moved all the things into the trunk, and Wen Ci sat in the passenger seat. The Haishi Railway Station was not far from the guesthouse; it would only take two or three minutes to get there.

Xue Li took out a writing board from the back seat, stood at the exit and held it up high. Wen Ci, sitting in the passenger seat, could vaguely see the words on it.

Welcome Dr. Su Wanqing to Northwest China.

Wen Ci didn't mind. After waiting for more than ten minutes, Xue Li successfully picked up the person, opened the back door of the car, and said with a smile, "Dr. Su, have you had breakfast yet?"

Su Wanqing replied gently, "Come and eat over here."

Xue Li sat back in the driver's seat and had just fastened his seatbelt when he suddenly remembered something and said, "Do you need to use the restroom? It will take about six hours to get back to the Northwest Military Region compound, and there won't be anywhere to use the restroom along the way."

Upon hearing this, Wen Ci raised her hand: "I need to use the restroom."

Su Wanqing echoed, "I want to go too."

Xue Li: "Then I'll wait for you here."
