Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 118 Counterattack
Zhang Shuwan was immediately startled. What was going on?

Could something have happened to Jia Ning?

Zhang Shuwan felt a pang of regret; she shouldn't have left Jia Ning alone outside, especially since Jia Ning was so beautiful.

"Jia Ning?"

Zhang Shuwan quickly put on her pants while calling out to Gu Jianing.

"Hey, Sister Shuwan, I'm here."

Hearing Gu Jianing's response, Zhang Shuwan breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from her voice, Jianing should be alright.

What was that sound just now?!
The bang was so loud that Zhang Shuwan didn't think it was a hallucination.

However, Zhang Shuwan quickly put on her pants and came out.

"Jia Ning, ah, what is this?"

Zhang Shuwan saw Gu Jianing and was about to speak when she suddenly saw a man lying on the ground, which startled her.

There was a tall, thin man in a gray coat lying on the ground, his eyes closed and a handkerchief covering his face.

Standing beside her was Gu Jianing, calm and composed.

"Oh, this is a human trafficker. He was just about to use this handkerchief to cover me."

Gu Jianing's words made Zhang Shuwan's eyes widen. "What?! Human traffickers?!"

“Yes, he followed us after we came out of the state-run restaurant. I noticed him then. He followed us for more than an hour. Just now, when you went into the public restroom, he probably felt the time was right and came out.”

"He tried to cover my mouth with this handkerchief, which was probably drugged. Luckily, I was quick enough to snatch the handkerchief from his hand and cover his mouth with it. Then he collapsed."

Gu Jianing spoke casually, but Zhang Shuwan was terrified.

Oh my god, human traffickers!

Moreover, Jia Ning had already discovered them at the state-run restaurant and followed them for over an hour, yet she knew nothing about it.

“Jia Ning, you should have told me.”

“If I had known, I wouldn’t have left you alone outside to use the restroom. If something had happened to you, how would I have explained it to Battalion Commander Sheng?”

Zhang Shuwan thought about how she and Gu Jianing had agreed to go to the county town together, but Gu Jianing was kidnapped and she was the only one who went back.

What if Battalion Commander Sheng asks her for people?
If Jia Ning disappears, Battalion Commander Sheng will probably go crazy.

Despite his calm and composed demeanor, Zhang Shuwan could tell from their interactions how deep his feelings for Gu Jianing were.

In particular, Jia Ning is now pregnant.

Fortunately, Jia Ning is alright and has even managed to "fight back" against the other person.

Gu Jianing: I want to create an opportunity for this person to strike alone, how can I tell you?

Moreover, Gu Jianing felt that telling Zhang Shuwan might cause her to give herself away due to nervousness, and it was also impossible for her to leave alone outside to risk her life.

Then the chances of catching this person are slim.

"Oh, Sister Shuwan, I just feel like I can handle it myself."

"Look, I've taken him down now."

In fact, Gu Jianing was indeed confident.

Because she was the first to exchange for the "freeze for 5 seconds" skill in the exchange system, which cost her a full 10 points.

As long as she uses this skill, anyone she sees will be frozen in place for 5 seconds with a thought.

Don't underestimate the power of just 5 seconds; there's a lot you can do in that time.

Gu Jianing had previously redeemed a "Popeye" skill, which instantly increases strength by 10 times.

She had originally planned to immobilize the man and then beat him up. But when she saw the drugged handkerchief in his hand, she changed her mind.

So, after freezing the man in place, she snatched the handkerchief from his hand and, to his shock, covered his mouth and nose with her own.

It's estimated that the amount of medicine on the handkerchief was quite large, because soon the man's eyes rolled back, he fainted, and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Then, Zhang Shuwan came out of the restroom and asked for her.

Even though the person had already fallen, and even though Gu Jianing felt confident, Zhang Shuwan still felt her heart pounding.

"Jia Ning, you should tell me next time we meet."

"After all, more people mean more solutions."

"Really, we came out together. If something happens to you, I really don't know what I'll do."

"Your Battalion Commander Sheng is probably going crazy too!"

Gu Jianing took Zhang Shuwan's arm. "Okay, okay, it's my fault. I should have told you. I'll definitely be more careful next time."

However, thinking about the promise she made to Sheng Zexi yesterday, Gu Jianing touched her nose, feeling a little guilty. Oh no, it'll probably be difficult to go out from now on.

"Pah, pah, pah, there definitely won't be a next time." They really didn't want to run into human traffickers again.

May you all be safe and sound from now on.

"Jia Ning, what should we do now? Should we call the police?" Zhang Shuwan asked.

Gu Jianing nodded. "Yes, call the police."

Ten minutes later, Gu Jianing and Zhang Shuwan arrived at the police station. The man was also taken to the police station by the police and has not yet woken up.

Gu Jianing was giving a statement when the police learned that they were military wives and immediately treated them very well.

"Do you know a battalion commander named Sheng Zexi?" the young policeman asked.

Gu Jianing and Zhang Shuwan exchanged a glance, and Gu Jianing said, "That's my husband."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Weidong's eyes lit up. "So you're my sister-in-law! Hello, sister-in-law. I'm Zhang Weidong, and I'm Brother Sheng's brother."

Through Zhang Weidong's explanation, Gu Jianing learned that Zhang Weidong and Sheng Zexi had been friends for three or four years.

The reason they met was because Sheng Zexi accidentally saved Zhang Weidong, and Zhang Weidong then recognized Sheng Zexi as his elder brother.

"When I first heard that Brother Sheng got married, I always wanted to see what kind of girl could win him over. Now that I've seen you, I understand why Brother Sheng can't live without you."

Such a beautiful woman remained so calm and composed even when encountering human traffickers; she's truly remarkable.

No wonder Brother Sheng, who is so unruly, fell head over heels for his sister-in-law.

Upon hearing that it was Sheng Zexi's good friend and brother, Gu Jianing relaxed considerably and told Zhang Weidong about her encounter with this human trafficker.

"...By the way, do you know about the Qin family's case?" Gu Jianing asked Zhang Weidong.

Zhang Weidong realized what was happening and nodded, saying, "I handled that case."

That's good.

Gu Jianing: "Didn't Qin De plan to sell Qin Tian to human traffickers? I'm wondering, could this be the same person?"

Zhang Weidong seemed thoughtful as he took notes, "That's possible. We'll pay close attention to and interrogate them about this."

After giving her statement at the police station, Gu Jianing stepped outside and saw Sheng Zexi walking towards her with a calm expression.

Gu Jianing: ?! ! Why is he here?!

Zhang Weidong, who was standing next to him, scratched his head and said, "I was the one who notified Brother Sheng."

Gu Jianing: Okay.

The next second, Gu Jianing was embraced by Sheng Zexi who had walked over.
