A whirlwind marriage with a high-ranking official: Lights out, don't force me to take the initi

In Northeast China, the snow is falling heavily in winter.

In the alley of bungalows, Xu the Cripple wrapped his tattered cotton-padded coat tightly and limped out the door.

He found a public phone station.

He pulled a crumpled little piece of paper from his pocket and dialed the number on it.

The phone rang twice, and a male voice came from the other end, sounding somewhat impatient.

"Hehe, cripple, it's me, Xu the Cripple."

"Xu the Cripple? You've managed to scrape together the money?"

On the other end of the phone were the same group of human traffickers who had taken the original owner away.

The money he received from selling Ye Wenxi was returned because she had run away. They came knocking on his door, demanding he return the money.

I only paid back a little bit before, and there's still more than half left.

Just now, Xu the Cripple came up with a dirty trick.

If they don't pay back the money, they'll use someone else to settle the debt.

Anyway, Ye Wenxi has already been found. As long as we lure her out, we can use someone to settle the debt.

"We haven't managed to raise the money."

"But I found him!

"people?"

"Yes! My girl!"

"Let's talk about something."

"I'll get her out and then hand her over to you. See if this money is acceptable..."

"Your money can be used to offset this," the other person interrupted him.

"But the money she stole from our things is a separate matter."

"What? She stole your things?"

Xu the Cripple was taken aback, thinking that this person was lying to him.

"What did she steal from you?"

"She took my bag when she ran away. There was fifty dollars and some medicine in it."

"The medicine, even if it costs ten yuan, is not easy to get."

"That's a total of sixty yuan, you have to pay me back!"

Actually, when the original owner ran away, he did take a bag.

But there were only a few dollars and that packet of C medicine in the bag.

She did know what the medicine was for.

The human trafficker had said this to her face, with a lewd laugh in his voice:

"Don't even think about running away. Once you use this, whoever they want you to be their wife, you'll have to be their wife."

"Once you're on the bed, it'll be a fait accompli, and nobody will care whether you like it or not."

When Xu the Cripple heard that he would have to pay an extra sixty yuan, he immediately spat.

He doesn't care about this mess; he'll let that brat pay for it herself later.

Without thinking much of it, he casually asked:

"What medicine?"

The person on the other end chuckled twice, with a slightly frivolous tone.

"It was originally meant for your daughter, so what kind of medicine do you think it could be?"

Xu the Cripple's eyes widened in surprise.

"The one who makes people...do that kind of thing?"

"nonsense!"

In an instant, Xu the Cripple seemed to have figured everything out.

How did Ye Wenxi manage to get close to that military officer?

It's not that she has any special methods.

She must have drugged him!

Xu the Cripple reached an agreement with the other side.

After hanging up the phone, a thought popped into his head.

Didn't that family keep asking how Ye Wenxi managed to get close to that military officer?

I heard they got married in a flash.

They got their marriage certificate after meeting a few times.

That family investigated and investigated...

It seems they're looking for this "evidence"!

Xu the Cripple suddenly felt that God had been kind to him.

Although he was lame for half his life and his wife died young.

They didn't even leave behind a biological child.

But when he was old, such a big piece of fat meat fell from the sky for him!

He'll probably use up all the cleverness he's accumulated in his life on this.

In the short time it took to hang up the phone, a new idea popped into his head.

Originally, he only planned to swindle a deposit from each of the families and then run away.

But now that we have this "evidence," this matter might actually be possible.

By then, this money will have more than doubled or tripled.

He then resold the person to human traffickers.

Send the commander's family to find the human traffickers and demand the person back.

Once the human traffickers are caught, no one will ever ask them for their money back.

He's long gone.

That means they've pocketed the money from three different places!

Xu Mancang felt that his plan was flawless.

One family eats at three different restaurants!

Lu Weidong, that expert, and the human trafficker.

Thinking that he had come up with such a brilliant idea, Xu Mancang jumped up and down on the spot, wishing that his legs would no longer be lame.

Then, he took out another slip of paper.

This is the phone number that family left behind.

The other party instructed that this call could only be made once, and only a message could be left; nothing else should be said.

Xu the Cripple gritted his teeth and decided to use this opportunity.

He dialed the number.

"Hello, ah... this is Xu the Cripple, I want to leave a message!"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end, as if they were confirming something.

"Speak," a cold male voice said.

Xu the Cripple's voice was full of excitement:

"I told you... I have evidence of that girl's despicable methods!"

-----------------

This time when Ye Wenxi returned to the Lu family home, she stayed in Lu Weidong's room.

Some of the wedding room decorations were still left inside.

The printed wedding photos are hanging on the wall.

The two men, dressed in military uniforms, stood side by side, their smiles a little reserved.

Ye Wenxi stared blankly at Lu Weidong in the photo.

That guy was unrealistically handsome.

His eyebrows and eyes were sharply defined, as if cut by a knife, and his nose was straight.

His jawline was taut and strong, and his eyes, sparkling beneath his double eyelids, were captivating.

But his eyes were soft, focused intently on the camera, as if he were looking at her.

Ye Wenxi's heart skipped a beat.

She suddenly missed him terribly.

We've only been apart for a day, and my longing for you has already grown so intense.

She cursed herself inwardly:

How pathetic! We were still in bed together this morning, how come you're already thinking about this as soon as you leave the house?

I glanced at the clock; it was neither too early nor too late.

She went downstairs to Lu Zhenghua's study.

That's where the Lu family keeps their phone; family members come here to make calls.

The door was open, but Lu Zhenghua wasn't there.

Ye Wenxi went inside, picked up the receiver, and dialed the number of the unit in the military family compound.

At this time, Lu Weidong should already be home after get off work.

The phone rang seven or eight times.

No one answered.

Ye Wenxi was taken aback. Maybe he was taking a bath?

She put down the receiver and went back to her room.

Half an hour passed.

Ye Wenxi dialed that number again.

The receiver emitted a monotonous "beep-beep" sound.

It rang for a long time, but no one answered.

She put down the phone, already having a guess in her mind.

Lu Weidong eventually left quietly.

I don't know where he is now.

But Ye Wenxi's intuition told her that he was not far away.

That evening, during their conversation, she firmly stated that Lu Weidong was not allowed to interfere anymore.

When she learned that Lu Weidong had gone to bribe and warn Xu the Cripple, her heart skipped a beat.

It would be better if this matter remained unresolved in Xu the Cripple's mouth.

If someone with ulterior motives were to uncover this and use it against him, Lu Weidong's promising future would be ruined.

So no matter what he said, she insisted: You absolutely cannot get involved anymore.

But in the end, he still...

Ye Wenxi stood there, motionless for a long time.

Her eyes were already red.

She was so afraid that something would happen to him that she couldn't bear to let him get involved.

But what about Lu Weidong?

He loves her so much that he'll only be crazier and more reckless than her.

She should have guessed it long ago.

He couldn't possibly care about his future or any rules.

He only wanted to protect her.

So he kept it a secret from her and secretly went to clear mines, hoping to pave the way before she found out.

"Lu Weidong..."

Ye Wenxi's mind was filled with only this one name, which kept replaying in her head.

She took a deep breath and swallowed the lump in her throat.

She raised her hand and wiped her face.

Then I picked up the receiver, my fingertips trembling slightly.

She tried to make her voice sound as normal as possible.

"Hey? Sister Yunxia, ​​is Commander Chen here?"

"I have something I want to ask him."
