The golden age began in 1977

Chapter 175 Investigation, Catching Adultery, A Great Success
I rode my 75 motorcycle, bumping along the cobblestone streets of the county town. The headlights shone brightly, swaying in the twilight.

In the evening of April, smoke rose from chimneys above Yuezhou County, the air still carrying the chill of winter.

The streets were quite lively after get off work. Qian Jin offered him two cigarettes and easily found out the location of the Yuezhou County Guesthouse.

Yuezhou County is poor, and the guesthouse was simply built, just a gray-white three-story building.

The red paint on the lintel reading "Yuezhou County Guesthouse" has faded somewhat, and the wooden sign hanging at the entrance that reads "Serve the People" looks mottled and old under the wind and sun.

There was a local police station not far away. Qian Jin parked his motorcycle in front of the station, so even the most brazen thieves wouldn't dare to steal from the station.

The old gatekeeper at the police station didn't want them to take advantage of him, so he came up to kick them out.

Qian Jin showed off the red armband of the security task force. The old gatekeeper saw the police badge on it and didn't say anything harsh. He just told them to go and come back soon.

Now, each police station in Haibin City has a security task force to assist in maintaining social order, so the red armband is very useful and can make things easier for colleagues.

The two split up and hid in the alley to observe the comings and goings of people at the guesthouse.

We need to be careful not to run into Ma Defu.

The sun sets, and the city lights come on.

The guesthouse was lit with dim, yellow lights.

During this time, Qian Jin did not see Ma Defu. He met up with Zhang Aijun and asked him, but Zhang Aijun shook his head at him.

not found.

So Qian Jin found a time when there were fewer people and entered the guesthouse.

The lobby was brightly lit, and a waitress with two braids was idly flipping through a copy of "People's Literature".

Qian Jin hadn't noticed Ma Defu before, but he had noticed this waitress. She had fair skin and would often look in the mirror and apply Pechoin cream during her shift. She wore fashionable and clean clothes and reflective black leather shoes.

From these characteristics, he could tell that she was a sophisticated young woman from a small town.

But the young woman from the county town was wearing an old watch.

Qian Jin then found a breakthrough.

The two entered the guesthouse, their shoes making a crisp sound as they tapped on the marble floor.

The waitress looked up, her eyes lighting up:
Qian Jin was handsome and dressed more elegantly than the average countryman; he was clearly not an ordinary farmer.

"Comrade, looking for accommodation?" she asked, putting down her magazine.

Qian Jin gave a polite smile and took out a letter of introduction from his satchel: "I'm from the Zidian Commune Supply and Marketing Cooperative. I'm here to purchase goods in the county and need a single room."

The waitress took the letter of introduction and carefully checked the official seal.

Qian Jin noticed again the watch on her wrist. It was an old Tianjin brand watch with a worn-out, white strap.

“The letter of introduction is fine. The second floor is full, but there are vacant rooms on the first floor, 101 and 105.” She handed over the registration book. “Let me register.”

Qian Jin took the pen and, while writing, asked, "Comrade, what's your name?"

"My name is Liu Fang." She smiled, clearly having a good impression of the young and handsome sales clerk in front of her.

After Qian Jin finished filling out the registration information, he followed Liu Fang into room 105.

After he went inside and closed the door, Liu Fang was startled: "What are you doing?"

Qian Jin took out a delicate little box from his pocket and gently pushed it over: "Comrade Liu Fang, this is a watch I asked a friend to buy for me. It's a new type of women's watch that's only available in Shanghai. Take a look."

This is a white-faced quartz watch for women, with a gold-plated exterior. The dial features only numbers and hands, giving it a classic, simple, and artistic feel.

Compared to the current dull watch styles, this watch is incredibly novel.

The ultra-thin dial fits snugly on the wrist, making it perfect for young women.

The PU leather strap is soft yet durable, and it better suits a woman's feminine charm than the currently popular steel strap.

Liu Fang's eyes lit up instantly, but she didn't dare to look away, and asked in confusion, "Comrade, what's this?"

Qian Jin shoved the box into her hand.

This led Liu Fang to misunderstand, and she whispered, "You want to pursue me? But we don't even know each other yet."

Qian Jin quickly waved his hand: "No, no, you misunderstood, lady. Actually, I wanted to ask you about something."

Liu Fang breathed a sigh of relief and put the box in her pocket:
"What are you asking? There's no need to be so polite. Oh, I see, you're not from the supply and marketing cooperative, are you? You're from the procuratorate? Are you here to investigate our leader?"

This made her nervous again.

If you accept anything from the procuratorate, you're in for a world of trouble.

However, once the leader is arrested, it seems no one will touch me...

Thinking about it this way, the sophisticated woman's heart began to wander!
Qian Jin shook his head: "No, we wanted to ask if you've seen this person recently."

He showed Liu Fang a photo of Ma Defu, and for a moment he was a little nervous.

Ma Defu has many connections, and he is worried that Liu Fang is also one of Ma Defu's people. If that's the case, he might be investigated by Ma Defu before he can investigate Ma Defu's whereabouts.

Liu Fang's reaction startled him: "Oh, you really are from the Zidian Commune Supply and Marketing Cooperative? Isn't this your cooperative's director, Ma Defu?"

Qian Jin nodded: "It's him. He's here with you?"

Liu Fang said, "He comes from time to time, but he hasn't come recently."

Qian Jin kept a close eye on her expression.

Very normal.

There was no fluctuation.

This means either Liu Fang is a film queen, or she told the truth.

Qian Jin looked at Zhang Aijun.

Zhang Aijun shook his head at him.

No abnormalities were found in Liu Fang either.

This put Qian Jin's mind at ease for the time being; Liu Fang probably only knew Ma Defu, not that she was one of Ma Defu's people.

But he wasn't giving up and asked, "Ma Defu hasn't been here recently? Are you sure?"

Liu Fang wasn't a patient girl, but that beautiful watch gave her plenty of patience.

She frowned and said, "I haven't seen him in the last few days, and I have a registration book here. Otherwise, I can show you the names on the registration book. If he comes to stay, he will definitely have to register."

Qian Jin said, "Could we make a list of the people who have recently stayed at our hotel?"

Liu Fang hesitated for a moment.

She touched the watch box, then went to get the register: "Hurry up and copy it down, this can't be seen by your customers."

The guesthouse has a limited number of rooms, with fewer than forty rooms across three floors, and it's not fully booked yet.

So Qian Jin quickly copied down the names and job information on the document.

"Thank you for your cooperation." After finishing copying, he closed the register, smiled, and handed it back to Liu Fang. "But don't tell anyone we're here."

Liu Fang said, "Don't worry, why would I reveal this?"

She left with the register, and Qian Jin began to study the contents of the book.

The room reeked of smoke, the sheets were not very clean, and there were cigarette butts under the bed and the table.

Zhang Aijun picked up the enamel mug from the bedside table, preparing to pour himself some hot water.

Qian Jin waved his hand.

He had no confidence in the hygiene of the guesthouse, and since he wasn't thirsty, he decided not to drink water there.

After reviewing the information recorded in the notebook, Qian Jin got up and went to draw back the curtains. It was already completely dark outside.

"We've made a discovery," Zhang Aijun, who knew him well, asked in a low voice.

Qian Jin handed him the copied list and pointed to the name in room 301: "The name Li Caifeng is suspicious. She is registered as a female comrade, but she is staying in a double room."

Zhang Aijun frowned: "Ma Defu uses a pseudonym."

“No, judging from the handwriting, it was left by a woman, but this woman is a nurse at Yuezhou People’s Hospital. Since she’s a local, why would she be staying at a guesthouse?” Qian Jin guessed that the woman was suspicious, but he wasn’t sure if it was related to Ma Defu.

So he gave a further order: "Go to the backyard or the front street and see if you can see how many people are inside through the windows..."

“The curtains are drawn,” Zhang Aijun said directly. “When I was observing just now, I noted down the rooms where the curtains were drawn. All the curtains in room 301 are drawn.”

Qian Jin's spirits lifted; even more problems arose:
"When it's completely dark, go to the front and look at people's shadows through the curtains."

Zhang Aijun nodded without saying anything more.

At 8:30 p.m., Zhang Aijun quietly slipped out of the room and, under the cover of darkness, made his way to the backyard.

The curtains in room 301 were drawn, but after waiting a while, someone passed by the window.

Then his shadow was projected onto the curtains.

He finally returned around nine o'clock and said, "There were two figures inside, one tall and one petite."

Qian Jin clapped his hands excitedly and asked, "Can you find a way to confirm whether Ma Defu is there?"

Zhang Aijun pondered for a moment and said, "I just checked, the curtains are drawn very tightly."

"There's no way to look through the window, so I can only press my ear against the door and listen."

“But I’m not familiar with Madfu’s voice. So you can go to the door and listen. I’ll make some noise at the window, and the person inside should respond.”

They waited for a while longer, until 10:30 when the corridor was practically empty. Qian went inside and pressed his ear against the door of room 301.

Soon after, there was a muffled sound, like a window being slammed.

Then a woman's startled cry rang out from inside the house: "What's going on? What's happening outside the window?"

"Don't panic, I'll go check." A familiar voice!

It's Ma Defu.

The window was opened, and a cat's meow could be heard.

Ma Defu closed the window and said, "Hey, it's just a stray cat that climbed up here."

"You scared me!" a soft female voice rang out.

Ma Defu chuckled: "With me here, what are you afraid of? You still want to jump? Where to jump? Hmm? Let me see where to jump..."

"annoying."

"Hehe, I'll make you feel like you're dying of pleasure..."

Qian Jin really wanted to keep listening.

But business was important, and he was afraid of being discovered and alerting the enemy, so he had no choice but to leave reluctantly.

unexpected surprise.

Li Caifeng is definitely not Ma Defu's wife.

Qian Jin didn't know what Ma Defu's wife's name was, but what kind of decent family's daughter-in-law would say "I hate you so much" in a coquettish way?

He happily ran back to 105, and when Zhang Aijun returned, he gave him a thumbs up: "Your cat meow sound is pretty good."

Zhang Aijun chuckled: "I can imitate a dog's bark better."

I do know about Qian Jin.

Zhang Aijun often imitated dog barks to tease Huang Chui.

Having confirmed Ma Defu's whereabouts and discovered that the scoundrel Ma Defu was having sex with women in a guesthouse, Qian Jin was overjoyed.

The joy of accident!

These days, the government is cracking down hard on personal conduct, especially the lifestyle of officials, and most leading cadres dare not engage in inappropriate relationships.

Qian Jin hadn't expected to find any fault with Ma Defu, since Ma Defu now knew that Qian Jin had been sent by the Municipal Supply and Marketing Cooperative to deal with him, so he should be very cautious.

According to Qian Jin's plan.

He planned to first find out where Ma Defu was hiding, then notify his superiors to arrest him, and use the excuse of unexcused absence to embarrass him.

Unexpectedly, this guy became lawless and skipped work to come to the county town to play around with his lover.

What could Qian Jin say?
It can only be said that God, who wishes to destroy someone, first makes them mad!

He went to Liu Fang again to inquire about room 301.

Liu Fang said, "The person staying here is a nurse from our People's Hospital. Yes, she booked the room. She's been coming over to stay every night recently, saying that her house is being renovated. What's wrong?"

Qian Jin smiled and said, "It's nothing, Comrade Liu Fang. Please keep an eye out for her tomorrow. If she comes again, please call me and let me know."

"Next time I come, I'll bring you a pretty hair clip. Girls in Shanghai wear those now, they're so pretty. They're inlaid with acrylic glass, and they sparkle like diamonds under the lights and sunlight."

Liu Fang replied expectantly, "Okay, no problem."

That night, Qian Jin rode his motorcycle to take Zhang Aijun back. The next day, he worked diligently until the afternoon when he began to take action.

First, call Liu Xinhui, the head of the Political Work Section of the County Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

When the call connected, Qian Jin said, "Hello, is this the county supply and marketing cooperative? This is the Zidian Commune Supply and Marketing Service Cooperative. I'm looking for Section Chief Liu."

Liu Xinhui's voice came from the other end of the phone: "This is Liu Xinhui. Who are you? What do you want?"

"I am Qian Jin, a sales clerk at the Zidian Supply and Marketing Cooperative." Qian Jin said in a serious tone, "Section Chief Liu, it's like this, there's been a problem with the allocation of spring farming supplies in our commune, we need to ask Director Ma Defu to come back and handle it."

Liu Xinhui was puzzled: "Ma Defu? Doesn't he work in your commune? Why are you asking me for him?"

“He’s not in our commune,” Qian Jin said, feigning surprise. “He went to the county three days ago, saying he was attending a training course organized by the Political Work Department.”

"The training course ended last week, but Director Ma hasn't gone back yet?" Liu Xinhui said subconsciously.

Then he thought for a moment and said, "No, Ma Defu didn't come to this training course. Where is he?"

Qian Jin sighed: "I was wondering the same thing. Director Ma is always a conscientious worker and would never be absent from work without a reason. Could it be... that something happened?"

Liu Xinhui was somewhat annoyed: "What happened? What could possibly happen to an old supply and marketing worker like him?"

"Wait a moment, let me ask the other leaders first, and I'll call you back later."

It took almost half a day for Liu Xinhui to call.

When he spoke again, his voice was somewhat panicked: "Damn it, we can't get in touch with your Director Ma."

"You guys wait here, I'll be at your workplace in a bit. What's with all this trouble all day long? This Ma Defu, really, what's wrong with him!"

After hanging up the phone, Qian Jin smiled slightly, went out, and headed straight for the police station.

Liu Jianguo is practicing Tai Chi.

He started taking care of his health in advance.

Upon seeing Qian Jin arrive, the "Grasp the Sparrow's Tail" whip nearly lashed out like a lightning bolt: "Qian, Qian Jin? What brings you here again?"

Qian Jin said seriously, "I'm here to report a crime!"

Liu Jianguo sighed: "Then tell me, who has provoked you this time?"

Qian Jin shook his head: "Provoke me? No, nobody provoked me."

"Here's the thing, our supply and marketing cooperative director, Ma Defu, has gone missing. This comrade has disappeared. The relevant leaders from our county supply and marketing cooperative are on their way. They told me to call the police first."

Liu Jianguo picked up his enamel mug and took a sip of water: "Ma Defu is gone? Hasn't he been absent from the commune lately? Didn't you drive him away?"

Qian Jin quickly said, "No, Director Liu, that's not fair of you. How could I be so domineering?"

Liu Jianguo laughed.

Are you going to lie through your teeth?

This is something I'm really good at!

Qian Jin said, "To be honest, Director Liu, I suspect that our Director Ma has been kidnapped!"

Liu Jianguo immediately became alert: "Kidnapping?! How is that possible? How could such a serious case as kidnapping happen in a small place like our Zidian Commune?"

"Impossible, this is impossible! Even if he really was kidnapped, it could only be..."

He didn't say the rest.

Because it's hard to say.

He felt that if Ma Defu had indeed been kidnapped, it was probably by Qian Jin.

Qian Jin said, "But we haven't been able to contact him for the past two days."

"Director Ma is usually very diligent in his work. Even when he is away for training or something, he will call back from time to time to communicate with our accountant, Comrade Zhao Dazhu, about financial matters. He is not as silent as he has been recently."

"To be honest, although we sometimes have some work-related disagreements, we admire each other, and my colleagues are still very worried about his safety."

Liu Jianguo put his hands on his hips.

He stared at Qian Jin, whose expression was earnest.

Such missing persons cases are serious crimes, and since someone has reported it to the police, he needs to accept the report, but there is a condition:
“According to national laws and regulations, missing persons cases require the family to file a report…” Before he could finish speaking, Qian Jin immediately said, “I’ll call his wife right now!”

His home phone number is registered in the supply and marketing cooperative's telephone directory.

Qian Jin had already noted down the number. He used the police station's phone to dial the switchboard and was then transferred to Ma Defu's house.

"Hello, is this Mrs. Ma Defu? Oh, oh, sister-in-law, it's good that it's you. My name is Qian Jin." His tone was heavy. "I have something to tell you. Director Ma may have had an accident!"

On the other end of the phone, Ma Defu's wife's voice suddenly rose: "What happened?!"

Qian Jin said, "A few days ago, Director Ma said he was going to the county to attend a training course. We called to ask, and the training course ended a long time ago, but Director Ma has not returned."

“I have reported him missing at the police station, but the officer said that you need to come and report the case in person.”

At this point, Qian Jin deliberately paused, "Sister-in-law, I think you'd better come to the county as soon as possible."

Ma Defu's wife's voice trembled: "Okay, okay, I'll... I'll be right there!"

Qian Jin hung up the phone and looked at Liu Jianguo.

Liu Jianguo's expression was complicated.

He always felt that there was something mysterious about this matter.

Can Ma Defu still disappear?
Is this Qian Jin stirring up trouble again?
Before he could even question Qian Jin, the county public security bureau called him.

After receiving the call, Liu Jianguo bowed and scraped, then swore he would immediately investigate Ma Defu's whereabouts.

After hanging up the phone, he sighed and called his three subordinates over: "Immediately investigate Ma Defu's recent social connections. We must find out the details of Ma Defu's last meeting with us in the commune."

The investigation began in the commune.

Liu Jianguo went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Check Ma Defu's office documents and ask Zhao Dazhu, Jin Hai, and Liu Xiulan in detail about Ma Defu's recent situation.

The small commune had few secrets, and the security guards all knew about Ma Defu's close associates.

They approached several people and, through a combination of intimidation and threats, quickly obtained useful information:
"Cao Lihua from the food station said that Ma Defu claimed to be going to a meeting in the county, but in reality he was hiding and directing his men to deal with Qian Jin..."

"Li Weiguo from the medical station said that he and Wang Pangzi from the food store saw Ma Defu off onto a delivery truck. This truck was used by the county supply and marketing cooperative to pick up and deliver goods to various communes..."

"Lin Tengpeng from the Lugou Shuangdai store said that Ma Defu met with him before leaving and demanded that he follow the orders of Wang Pangzi from the food store to deal with Qian Jin..."

All the information combined ultimately pointed to Fatty Wang and Qian Jin.

Qian Jin was right beside him and said he knew nothing about it.

Therefore, they had to find a breakthrough by dealing with Fatty Wang.

But Wang Pangzi was sent to the county bureau yesterday because he was indeed suspected of forcing Cao Lihua to commit rape, which is a real crime of hooliganism nowadays. The local police station couldn't handle the case, so it had to be handed over to a higher-level unit.

So they started up the only sidecar motorcycle in the police station and sped off towards the county bureau.

Several leaders from the county supply and marketing cooperative arrived at the commune in a jeep. Upon learning that there was news related to the county bureau, they immediately drove back to the county seat.

Qian Jin got into the car and reported the findings of the commune's security office investigation.

After a flurry of activity, it was already evening when they returned to the county town. At this time, Ma Defu's wife, Pang Baixue, also arrived.

Pang Baixue is a good name, but it's a bit of a waste of talent because its owner is a strong, burly woman.

The team from the supply and marketing cooperative was led by Liu Xinhui, the head of the political work section.

Liu Xinhui was quite polite to Pang Baixue: "Little Pang, you already know about your husband Lao Ma? Don't worry, we're investigating, and we've already made some progress."

"Have a cup of tea first; you must be tired from the long journey..."

"How can I be in the mood for tea?" Pang Baixue exclaimed. "Sigh, speaking of which, Lao Ma really hasn't called home for the past three or four days, and I didn't think much of it. Honestly!"

"By the way, you guys said you have a clue, what clue?"

Qian Jin said, "Our commune's security chief, Liu, found out that Director Ma had been in contact with a comrade nicknamed Fatty Wang..."

“I know Fatty Wang. He sometimes visits my home when he goes to the city,” Pang Baixue nodded.

Qian Jin probably went to the secret passage not to visit someone, but to deliver a gift.

Of course, this cannot be said aloud.

He relayed the information he had given to Liu Xinhui and his group on the way to Pang Baixue, which eased Pang Baixue's tension somewhat.

At this moment, the county bureau's security officer and Chief Liu and others came over and said, "According to the information revealed by Fatty Wang, Ma Defu has been in room 301 of the county guesthouse."

Qian Jin said, "Isn't it not far from the county guesthouse? Why don't I go take a look?"

"What are you going to see? Let's go together," Pang Baixue said hurriedly.

The three groups traveled together, with the motorcycles performing the best and arriving at the guesthouse first.

The guesthouse staff were changing shifts; Liu Fang wasn't on night shift tonight.

When she saw Qian Jin arrive, she looked delighted and said, "Oh..."

"Don't reveal anything about our relationship, and don't tell anyone I came last night, otherwise it won't be good if people find out I gave you a gift," Qian Jin whispered to her, handing Liu Fang a crystal hair clip at the same time.

Liu Fang glanced at it when she had a spare moment.

His face was filled with ecstatic joy.

It's really a beautiful hair clip!

Qian Jin then asked, "Has Li Caifeng arrived?"

Liu Fang said in a low voice, "She just arrived not long ago; she must have come after work."

"I didn't notice until today that she brought a lunchbox..."

Qian Jin nodded: "You can go home now. We'll never know each other again."

Liu Fang felt quite regretful.

She actually really wanted to have a relationship with Qian Jin.

This young man is handsome and has a good job. The key is that he is generous and always manages to get good things from other places.

If I were to date someone like that...

She left full of dreams, unaware that three cars were arriving one after the other as she left her workplace.

Qian Jin stood at the corner of the corridor leading from the second to the third floor, staring intently at room 301.

Heavy, chaotic footsteps approached, and Pang Baixue charged ahead of the group.

Qian Jin nodded to her and said, "Sister-in-law, something's not right. I checked, and according to the guest register, the person staying in room 301 is a nurse from the People's Hospital, not Director Ma."

Upon hearing this, the fat on Pang Baixue's face twitched.

With a gloomy face, she said, "Did you even ask whether the person living in room 301 is a man or a woman?"

Qian Jin shook his head: "The guesthouse staff were changing shifts at the time. I only managed to glance at the guest register in the chaos, I didn't have time to..."

"Then don't talk nonsense." Liu Xinhui had already realized what was about to happen. He interrupted Qian Jin and scolded him, "You took a peek in the chaos, maybe you were mistaken?"

It was already dark, and the guesthouse staircase was unlit, so he turned on his flashlight and shone it up to the third floor.

Pang Baixue also guessed the answer.

"Go!" The word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.

She squeezed past Qian Jin.

Qian Jin smelled the scent of osmanthus oil mixed with the sour smell of sweat in her hair, and saw the bulging veins on her neck.

The real show is about to begin!

The stairs were made of cement, and the sound of footsteps was especially loud at night.

Qian Jin was last, and his role was the lightest.

Just as Pang Baixue reached the door, she heard a woman's laughter and the clinking of glasses coming from inside the house.

Then she realized she didn't have her key, so she knocked on the door.

A soft, alluring voice came from inside the house: "Who is it?"

Liu Xinjian said in a low voice, "I'll go ask the waiter for the key."

Before he could finish speaking, the door was kicked open.

Qian Jin quickly stood on tiptoe to look inside.

Actually, this wasn't a good time to catch them in the act, but he had no choice. He couldn't control the decisions of the police, the leaders of the county supply and marketing cooperative, or Pang Baixue, so he couldn't catch them in the act at the right time.

However, the current scene is still quite enjoyable:

Ma Defu sat on the edge of the bed wearing only a white vest and blue shorts, holding a white enamel mug in his hand.

A delicate-looking girl was sitting in his lap.

April nights are quite chilly, but this girl is amazing; she actually wore a floral dress.

The dress was just not worn well; three buttons at the neckline were undone, revealing most of her snow-white shoulder.

On the wrinkled green military blanket on the bed, there was a half-pack of Daqianmen cigarettes, an open can of luncheon meat glistening with oil, and several cans of fruit on the bedside table.

Pang Baixue was like a firecracker.

This scene ignited within her like a flame: "So! You lied to me the other day saying you were going to study, and here you are, having an affair?!"

The woman screamed and pounced on him, grabbing Ma Defu by the collar and slamming him onto the bed.

A leader from the county bureau frowned: "Comrade Ma Defu, someone reported that you were kidnapped, and now it seems..."

Several security guards glanced at the messy room.

The sheets were wrinkled, and there was a cheap perfume smell in the air. Traces of rubber covers could be seen in the trash can.

Even a blind person can now understand what has happened in the past few days.

Ma Defu didn't react immediately; despite being hit, he was still bewildered: "What... what's going on?"

The porcelain cup in his hand clattered to the ground, and the beer inside splashed onto Li Caifeng's bare legs.

The girl reacted quickly, grabbing the coat from the bedside and wrapping it around herself.

But the coat belonged to Ma Defu, and the cuffs were still adorned with copper buttons from the supply and marketing cooperative.

Liu Xinjian was a political work cadre who was in charge of enforcing Party discipline and national laws.

He was so enraged by what he saw that his roar shook the ceiling so much it seemed to drop dust.

"Ma Defu! You bastard! Do you even have the demeanor of a supply and marketing cooperative cadre?!"

He was trembling with anger, and even his raised arm was shaking.
"From this moment on, you don't need to work for me anymore! You, you, you, you give me... I don't need the approval of the unit leaders, I don't need to attend the Party Congress, you're fired!"

Pang Baixue shook Ma Defu and smashed him with a hammer.

She straddled Ma Defu, knelt on the bed, and then, with a powerful leap, pounced like a toad towards the nurse hiding against the wall.
"You worthless slut! I'll tear your face to shreds!"

Li Caifeng screamed in terror and ran outside, covering her face.

There were six security guards at the entrance, and Qian Jin was also blocking the way, so she couldn't get out at all. Pang Baixue pulled her back in.

Pang Baixue was ruthless, grabbing her hair and pulling her down to the ground like tearing a fishing net.

Li Caifeng was both frightened and in pain, crying out and reaching out to the security guards: "Help! Help!"

"Security officers! Don't move!" Two leaders wearing peaked caps stepped forward and separated the two men.

Someone else pulled Ma Defu up: "Stand against the wall and don't move! You're under arrest for hooliganism!"

Qian Jin shrank back a little.

He can just watch the show; it's not his turn to shine now.

Right now, Section Chief Liu is pointing his finger at Ma Defu and scolding him for "having a corrupt lifestyle."

The security officer separated Pang Baixue and Li Caifeng.

Ma Defu's hands were being twisted behind his back by a young security guard who was about to handcuff him.

The security guards these days are really tough.

No matter what kind of leader you are, if you commit a crime and don't even know the person in question, then you have to be arrested!
Ma Defu finally realized what was happening and cried out to Pang Baixue with a mournful face, "Wife, wife, listen to me! Someone framed me! I...I've been wronged! What you saw was all fake..."

Pang Baixue, who had been pulled away, was disheveled and looked like a mad tiger.

She looked around, grabbed the warm blanket, and threw it at Ma Defu.

Hot water was splashed on him midway through the process, scalding the young security guard who screamed and hid in a corner.

Ma Defu, disregarding his own safety, said to Pang Baixue, "Listen to me, please listen to me, think about Dawei, Daguo, and Chunyan at home..."

Pang Baixue grabbed the enamel basin again, stepped forward, and swung it at his head.

Boom!
A large dent appeared at the bottom of his pelvis, and blood immediately appeared on Ma Defu's forehead.

Liu Xinjian rushed to stop Pang Baixue and shouted to Qian Jin, "Are you watching the show? Hurry up and grab him! Someone's going to get killed!"

Qian Jin reluctantly entered the room.

Ma Defu didn't notice him, and was covering his head, still trying to explain to Pang Baixue.

Pang Baixue bared her teeth and shouted, "You heartless bastard! You still know you have children at home, and you still know I gave birth to four children for you!"

"You heartless bastard! How did you even get into the supply and marketing cooperative back then? Who cleaned up your messes when you got into trouble there? And how did your nephew get into the supply and marketing cooperative? Wasn't it all thanks to my dad and my brother's connections?"

"When your younger sister was transferred back to the city from the countryside two years ago, wasn't it my brother who put in a good word for her?"

She bent down to pick up the deformed washbasin from the ground: "Now you're having an affair, how can you face my family!"

Enraged by the beating, Ma Defu jumped up and roared, "Is all the responsibility mine? Haven't you considered whether you bear any responsibility?"

"I'm a fucking man, a grown man! But do I act like a man in your house?"

“I married you, I didn’t become a son-in-law of your family. Even if I did become a son-in-law, I would still be a son-in-law. And what happened? I didn’t act like a man in front of you, and I didn’t act like a human being in front of your lame father!”

"Did your family treat me like a human being? They treated me like a dog, like a dog of your Pang family!"

"Let me tell you, I've been with you for twenty years, twenty years, and it's not as fun as two days with Caifeng!"

Pang Baixue let out a wail and was about to grab her weapon to start fighting again.

The security guards went up and grabbed her.

The security guards were furious because she had thrown a thermos, which had resulted in one of their own men being injured.

A security captain yelled at Pang Baixue, "Female, stop causing trouble! Get out of here now, immediately!"

Pang Baixue really did go out.

She ran down the stairs.

It was only then that Ma Defu noticed Qian Jin.

He looked at Qian Jin as he appeared, his expression shifting from astonishment to disbelief:
"You brought this? No, you, you little brat, you brought this! You ruined me?!"

Qian Jin coldly replied, "You ruined yourself, what does it have to do with me?"

Liu Xinjian shouted, "That's well said, Ma Defu! You've ruined yourself and your family!"

The security guard handcuffed him.

Li Caifeng cried and wanted to leave, but where could she go?
She was also handcuffed.

As they went downstairs, Pang Baixue blocked the doorway with a phone in hand: "Which one of you is Captain Gao?"

The security guard who had yelled at her earlier said, "Yes, it is. What's wrong?"

Pang Baixue handed him the phone: "Your bureau chief is looking for you."

Captain Gao took the phone and frowned immediately upon hearing the call.

Pang Baixue walked up to Ma Defu and said through gritted teeth, "Remember this, you surnamed Ma."

"Your future is given to you by my family, the mistakes you made in the past were protected by my family, and now you're having an affair, it's still my family's connections that saved you."

Ma Defu looked ashamed and whispered, "Bai Xue, I..."

Pang Baixue grabbed the registration book from the front desk and slammed it on the ground in front of his crotch, startling him so much that he jumped back.

Desperate, Ma Defu said, "What do you want from me? I've done things that have wronged you and my family."

"Fine, let's get a divorce, okay? I'll divorce you!"

"Divorce? Dream on!" Pang Baixue gave a bitter smile. She already looked fierce, and this smile made her look even uglier.

She said resentfully, "I won't divorce you! How am I supposed to deal with you after we divorce?"

“Ma Defu, listen up! Yes, my dad is lame, but he's a lame soldier! And I want you to be a lame dog for the rest of your life, wagging your tail whenever you see my dad!”
