Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 104 She's Not a Tiger
Bai Jing was overjoyed. "Is there some hidden wealth here?" Now that the person has been chosen, she should do good deeds for her colleagues in the Public Security Bureau. It wouldn't be right for her to be the only one to benefit.

[Yes.] And so a map was generated in Bai Jing's mind.

Bai Jing was rummaging around intentionally or unintentionally.

He would occasionally lead his colleagues to places where money was hidden.

After the first hidden spot was discovered, everyone's enthusiasm soared.

There's no way around it these days; when a hideout like this is busted, 70% of the seized goods end up with the police station that cracked the case.

Unlike the Red Guards, the Public Security Bureau wanted to make life easier for its staff by seizing more unauthorized materials.

When you gamble, the black market becomes their first choice. Naturally, compared to gambling, the black market is not investigated as strictly. Except for large-scale buying and selling, the police rarely take action, after all, everyone's life is not easy.

Bai Jing arrived in front of Captain Lin at some point. After looking at the person being interrogated by Captain Lin, Bai Jing immediately recalled matters concerning him.

Pulling Lin out, Bai Jing embellished the story, describing the relationship between that person and Wu Ming.

Team Leader Lin was no fool, of course. "How do you know all this?"

Bai Jing rolled her eyes. "Have you forgotten? That Wu Ming was a blind date that an aunt in my village wanted to introduce to me. Is it not normal for me to be more careful when I run into him on the street?"

Team Leader Lin swallowed hard; he had indeed forgotten about it.

"I understand, I'll have someone investigate." Perhaps this time he could even do someone a favor at the commune. Thinking of this, Lin Huayu's mood brightened; after all, they were comrades-in-arms, and they should help each other.

After the revelation, Bai Jing stopped paying attention, believing that Captain Lin would give her a satisfactory answer.

As the days dragged on relentlessly, Bai Jing saw the person she could think of the moment she closed her eyes.

"You, what are you doing here?" Bai Jing looked at him in disbelief. "You, did you come to see me?"

It was obvious that Bai Jing was very nervous at this moment.

Although Jiang Chen was cold-hearted, he wasn't cold to everyone. Looking at the person in front of him who clearly had different feelings towards him, he still managed to suppress the coldness on his face.

"Hmm." Seeing that passersby were paying attention to the two of them, Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask, "Can I come to your house for a while?"

It was only he who made such an excessive request; if it were anyone else, Bai Jing would have taught them a lesson about how to behave.

"Of course, this way." Bai Jing was excited, but also a little expectant, wondering if he would be like in the TV dramas, seeking out the female lead to repay the life-saving debt with his body.

If that's the case, will she accept it? Or will she accept it?

Bai Jing's mind began to swirl.

She completely forgot that this was her workday. Taking someone home now would definitely make her late for work, and she hadn't asked anyone to let her take the day off. Who knows what kind of scolding Captain Lin would give her when she got to the police station.

Team Leader Lin is now training and teaching Bai Jing as if she were his disciple.

It was very strict.

"We're here. This is my home. Comrade Jiang, please come in." Seeing the familiar surroundings finally calmed Bai Jing down.

"Okay, thank you."

He came here today to thank her for saving his life. As long as her requests are not excessive, he will agree to them all, after all, she is a good person.

Upon entering the courtyard, Jiang Chen did not follow Bai Jing into the house. Instead, he handed the items to Bai Jing and then stood in the courtyard.

Seeing this, Bai Jing understood what he meant. "Um, Comrade Jiang, please sit down first. I'll go get you a glass of water."

Bai Jing didn't stand on ceremony with him. She put the things on the table in her yard, then picked up the kettle and went into the kitchen. The water in the kettle was boiled water; since a guest was coming, she had to make some sugar water.

After saying that, Bai Jing turned and left, leaving Jiang Chen, who was about to speak, speechless.

There was hot water in the thermos at home, so Bai Jing didn't need to refill the thermos, which saved her a lot of trouble.

After pouring him some sugar water, Bai Jing nervously sat down opposite him. "Comrade Jiang, is there something you need from me this time?" She was nervous, but she also knew that as the hostess, she had to speak first.

Jiang Chen had rushed over from City A early in the morning and was indeed quite thirsty, so he picked up his water glass and took a sip without hesitation.

"It's sweet, it's sugar water." Jiang Chen's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected the little girl to be so hospitable.

"Well, I'm so sorry about what happened last time, I caused you to get hurt. I'm here to thank you this time, and I just wanted to ask if there's anything I can help you with?"

Jiang Chen wasn't one to mince words; he stated his purpose directly.

Bai Jing was stunned when he hit her straight in the face.

The main problem is that things didn't go as she imagined; he wasn't there to offer himself in return.

Sigh, I'm a little disappointed.

"No need to thank me. How could someone as capable as Comrade Jiang get injured in such a place? I didn't think too much about it at the time." As she spoke, Bai Jing's face turned red.

Jiang Chen wasn't exactly naive; seeing her like this, he could guess what she was thinking.

But since she didn't say it explicitly, he couldn't very well refuse her.

"But you saved me after all, Comrade Bai Jing. You don't need to think too much. Just tell me, and I will do my best to fulfill your request." No matter how unwilling he was, he had to express his stance.

Bai Jing opened and closed her mouth again, but the words that were on the tip of her tongue just wouldn't come out.

That line, "Will you marry me?"

"No, no need." She ultimately refused him. She hadn't gotten what she wanted; none of what he gave her was what she desired, so she decided not to make things difficult for him.

Jiang Chen also wanted to say, "Just ask, I'll definitely do it," but the girl's thoughts were written all over her face, and he couldn't fully understand her feelings.

Home is a burden, a responsibility, which he cannot bear, nor can he afford to bear.

"Okay, then let me know whenever you need my help, and I definitely won't delay." With that, Jiang Chen took out a pen and paper and wrote down an address and phone number for him.

"If you can't find me, you can tell the person who answers the phone that you are my savior and they will help you solve your problem."

After saying that, he pushed the note in front of Bai Jing.

Looking at the flamboyant handwriting on the paper, Bai Jing hesitated to touch it for a long time.

No, this is not what she wanted. When she saved him, she never thought of asking for anything in return, let alone making things difficult for him.

Seeing his nervousness and resistance in front of her, Bai Jing knew that he had seen through her thoughts.

She sighed, then picked up the note on the table.

"Comrade Jiang, there's no need for that. I'm not a tiger, I don't eat people, and I certainly won't coerce you into doing this. I accept your gift, and let's just let this matter go. If you still feel bad about it, then please treat me to lunch."

After saying that, she tore up the note in her hand.

She felt terrible; he treated her like one of those scheming women.
