"Since the test results are all normal, let's not stay in this car."

"We've been running around all day, and we're exhausted and hungry. I think we should find a place to rest."

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the agitation in his heart, but his voice still trembled slightly with excitement.

"Jiajia, weren't you just saying you wanted to go to a hotel?"

"I think you're right. Let's find a hotel, get a room, take a good shower, and rest."

Upon hearing this, Sun Mengjia's lips instantly curled into a playful smile.

She leaned forward, getting close to Jiang Chen's face, and said teasingly:

"Old man, finally couldn't hold back anymore?"

"You wouldn't go when I told you to, you insisted on acting all proper. Now that you've seen the results and know we're clean, you immediately want to book a room."

Sun Mengjia asked ambiguously, "Are you trying to mess with me?"

Jiang Chen blushed and quickly coughed twice to cover his embarrassment: "Ahem, what nonsense are you talking about! I just wanted you to rest, simply to rest! I meant well."

"Tch~" Sun Mengjia rolled her eyes at him, but didn't expose him. Instead, she puffed out her chest confidently.

"Just say you want to do it, it's not like we're stopping you from doing it."

"Is that right, Xiaoxue?"

Although Xiaoxue's face turned as red as an apple, she nodded shyly and said in a soft voice, "I'll listen to whatever you say, brother."

"Look! We two girls are fine, what are you, a grown man, pretending to be? You're so effeminate, not manly at all."

"You should hold us in your arms right now, and then..."

Jiang Chen looked at the noisy crowd around him, some of whom were staring at him with wide eyes and blushing faces. He felt utterly humiliated.

My lifelong reputation!

You're not a local, but I am!

You may not care about your pride, but I do!

Seeing that the people around them were giving him increasingly strange looks, and even starting to whisper among themselves, Jiang Chen quickly pulled the two women into the car.

Just as he put his hand on the gear lever to shift gears and start the car, his gaze suddenly swept over the menstrual drinks that the two of them were still holding.

In that instant, it felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over my head.

Grass!

Oh, I forgot about that! Both of them are on their periods!

What the hell do I do?

A bloody battle?

That's too perverted, and it's also bad for their health.

Jiang Chen instantly deflated, slumped into his seat, and looked utterly hopeless.

I actually made such a fool of myself on the street for the sake of two people I can only look at but not eat.

孽 孽!

Since it was no longer feasible, Jiang Chen calmed down, and his intelligence once again took over.

Therefore, Jiang Chen coughed lightly: "I really just wanted you to take a break. Since you don't want to rest, then that's fine. Let's go to the police station first and resolve Xiaoxue's matter completely."

When serious matters were brought up, the two women lost their joking mood and both nodded.

After all, Zhao Xue's persistent uncle was always a potential threat.

It's best to resolve this sooner rather than later.

……

An hour later, in the mediation room of a police station in Jiangcheng.

The middle-aged police officer nodded: "Okay, I understand the situation."

"Since Zhao Xue herself has arrived and is free, it means there is no trafficking or pyramid scheme involved."

As the police officer spoke, he dialed the phone number of Zhao Xue's uncle, the person who had reported the incident.

The call was answered as soon as it was put on speakerphone.

Just as I finished explaining that Zhao Xue was visiting a friend, I heard Zhao Xue's uncle's hysterical roar.

"Comrades in hats, you absolutely have to save my Xiaoxue! She's definitely been scammed and brainwashed."

"Think about it yourself, what woman would go to a man's house on New Year's Eve?"

"Besides, that man has a girlfriend."

"This is definitely not normal!"

"Xiaoxue has always been obedient since she was little. How could she possibly abandon her grandparents and run away from home without a word?"

"That man is suspicious, definitely suspicious!"

"Comrade in Hats, I strongly suspect that man is a human trafficker, trying to lure our Xiaoxue to northern Myanmar to commit fraud."

"Don't believe her! I checked her phone; all those people who were scammed have transferred the money and still claim they weren't scammed. You can't just believe Xiaoxue's side of the story and trust that man!"

"And Xiaoxue's friend isn't any better."

"They're a pair of adulterers, trafficking innocent women and deceiving naive young girls!"

"You must persuade Xiaoxue to come home for the New Year. Her grandparents have been waiting for her for a year, and they've cried so much that their eyes are almost blind."

"I'm her uncle. Her parents have passed away, and I'm the closest person to her. How could I possibly harm Xiaoxue?"

Jiang Chen laughed in exasperation.

He leaned right next to the phone and said coldly:

"I am the man you're talking about who trafficked innocent women."

"Damn it, they even called me a fraud leader."

"I don't want to swear during the Lunar New Year, but you have the nerve to call the police, and then you have the nerve to play the family card?"

"Since you're her uncle, and you keep saying you're worried she'll be scammed and that you care about her, that's perfect. It's the Lunar New Year, and she doesn't have a penny on her. Transfer her five thousand yuan for travel expenses so she can fly back home."

"Transfer the money immediately!"

"Is it really a problem to transfer 5,000 yuan for your niece's travel expenses in front of Uncle Hat?"

"After all, you just said yourself that you're one of the closest people to her."

The person on the other end of the phone was clearly taken aback for a moment, then became even angrier.

"Transfer money? Dream on!"

"If I turn around, it's like throwing a meat bun to a dog; if I turn back, it's like giving it to you bunch of liars."

"Comrade in the Hat, look at this! This guy is going to keep scamming us and keep asking us for money. You have to stand up for us!"

Jiang Chen chuckled, turned to look at the police officer, and said calmly but with a firm tone, "Uncle Hat, you heard it too. He wouldn't even give Zhao Xue five thousand yuan. He said a lot of nice things, but when it came to actually paying, he wouldn't give her a single penny."

"He said I cheated Zhao Xue out of her money. I want to ask, Zhao Xue used to work in Hangzhou making milk tea, earning only a little over 3,000 yuan a month, plus bonuses, which amounted to about 3,700 or 3,800 yuan."

She also has to send 2,500 yuan to her uncle every month.

"They only stopped giving them out recently."

"But her uncle and aunt would often come to her shop and cause trouble, making it impossible for her to work normally. Even if she moved to another shop, they would still come and cause trouble if they found her there."

"Do you think this kind of uncle can still be considered an uncle?"

"If you don't believe me, you can check her bank statements."

With tears welling in her eyes, the officer took out her phone, pulled up her bank statements, and handed them to the police officer.

"Uncle Hat, these are the transfer records between me and my uncle."

"Over the years, every penny I've earned has been through my own hard work. Not only that, I also have to transfer money to him every month, but he has never given me a single penny."

"I had no other choice. He forced me to marry a mentally challenged man in exchange for a dowry, so I came to seek refuge with a friend."

"I heard he's going to marry me off to a mentally challenged man. I wanted to run away, but I didn't have any money. The only thing I had left was given to me by Jiajia and Jiang Chen. If it weren't for them, I might already be married to a mentally challenged man."

"You absolutely must not listen to my uncle."
