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

At that moment, Chen Yuanchuan was reading a newspaper in the living room.

When he heard Zhang Yunxia answer the phone and say "Xiao Ye," his heart skipped a beat.

It's best not to contact him.

Then, Zhang Yunxia shouted in this direction:

"Old Chen! Come quick, Xiao Ye's on the phone! He probably wants to know about Wei Dong."

"hiss...."

Chen Yuanchuan took a breath.

He did receive Lu Weidong's leave application.

Lu Weidong also gave him a general overview of the background.

He replied with two sentences at the time:

"Go ahead, I'll keep an eye on the exercises and training for you. Give me a call if you need any support."

"Remember, don't do anything impulsive."

Lu Weidong asked him to keep it a secret from Ye Wenxi, because she didn't want him to get involved anymore.

I guess Xiao Ye found out, but couldn't find anyone, so she called here.

Chen Yuanchuan answered the phone: "Feeding? Xiao Ye?"

"Commander Chen, I know Wei Dong has returned to Harbin." Ye Wenxi's voice was urgent. "Do you know where he is?"

"This...it's not that I want to hide it from you, I really don't know."

"He only said he had something to take care of, without going into details."

"Commander Chen, if I don't find him, I'm worried he might..."

"I understand. But you have to trust Weidong; he knows what he's doing."

Ye Wenxi shook her head anxiously on the other end of the phone.

Lu Weidong's "discretion" was limited to not involving her.

Once she's involved, he can throw all sense of propriety and discipline to the back of his mind.

Ye Wenxi felt worried when she recalled the barely suppressed rage in his eyes when he saw that letter.

Lu Weidong's trip was definitely not just about finding someone and protecting her.

"Commander Chen! If you don't help me find him soon, something really bad might happen!"

Chen Yuanchuan pondered for a moment.

He was weighing his options.

"Xiao Ye, don't worry. I'll try to find out for you tomorrow."

Wait for my news.

"Okay," Ye Wenxi replied immediately.

"Call this number as soon as you have any news."

"Thank you for your help, Commander Chen."

Ye Wenxi lay on their former wedding bed.

Half of the space next to him was empty, with Lu Weidong's pillow still in its original place.

She closed her eyes, her mind filled with the image of him lying on his side here.

He wrapped one arm around her waist, then whispered in her ear, "Wenxi..."

Ye Wenxi didn't sleep a wink that night.

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

The Su Family Mansion.

Su Ran was quite different from her dejected appearance of the past few days. She washed up and dressed early, and went downstairs to have breakfast with her family.

"Once you've adjusted, go back to your unit as soon as possible and focus your energy on important matters."

"At any time, professional competence is the foundation of one's career."

"Hmm," Su Ran responded softly, her expression indifferent.

Su Changqing glanced at her.

"Your brother will be going there in a few days; his unit is having exercises."

"Let's leave all that mess behind."

"If you cause trouble under his nose, humph... don't blame me for abandoning you then."

His words contained both admonition and displeasure.

Su Ran stopped using her chopsticks.

I heard some bad news that was the complete opposite of the good news I heard last night.

If she had known Su Feng was going to their military region, she would have preferred to feign illness and stay home rather than go back.

Su Ran sneered: "You're not saying you don't care, you just can't care at all."

Upon hearing this, Su's mother's expression changed. She looked at her usually gentle and sensible daughter in disbelief, as she realized that she would say such hurtful things.

As expected, Su Changqing's face darkened.

"What do you want to say?" He put down his chopsticks and looked up at Su Ran.

"Xiao Ran, how dare you talk to your father like that?" Su's mother scolded in a low voice.

Su Ran continued to eat with her head down, showing no sign of backing down.

"You used to be such a sensible and promising child."

"Look at yourself now, what a mess you make!"

That was a very strong statement. To be honest, Su Ran's actions this time greatly disappointed him.

Why did my usually sensible and strong-willed daughter get so stuck on this one thing?

Su Changqing looked at her, his eyes filled with disappointment and confusion.

"I think you're bewitched, possessed by a demon."

"It wasn't enough that Lu Weidong's wedding made you lose your temper once; you've made a scene again and again."

"Shameless. You may be shameless, but I still have a sense of shame."

The words grew increasingly harsh, and in the heat of the moment, Su Changqing uttered the most hurtful statement:

"If you keep going this crazy, you might as well not be surnamed Su anymore!"

Su Ran slammed her chopsticks down.

"Yes, I'm shameless!"

After saying that, he rushed out the door without looking back.

Su's mother chased after him, calling out, but couldn't stop him. She had no choice but to turn back and complain to Su Changqing:

"Old Su, look at you! Xiao Ran just can't get over it right now. Instead of trying to persuade her, you said such harsh things..."

Su Changqing simply didn't understand.

How could a military family member have provoked his daughter to this extent?

He still didn't understand Su Ran enough.

In Su Ran's environment from childhood to adulthood, no one, whether her peers or competitors, has ever been more dazzling than her.

Not only in terms of family background, but also in academics, career, and even love, she can get whatever she wants.

She relied not on the Su family's reputation, but on her own abilities and pride.

Did a military dependent cause her to collapse?

It was precisely because Ye Wenxi was a military dependent from the countryside with no connections.

She and Lu Weidong got married inexplicably.

They also "designed" a way to make her incredibly embarrassed in front of everyone.

Even in her most prized field of career, he repeatedly outshone her.

Now she's like a defeated soldier, humiliated and hiding at home.

A military dependent caused Su Ran to fall from grace in an instant.

He fell into the mud, lost all face, and couldn't even recognize himself anymore.

A strong sense of hatred welled up in my heart.

Su Ran stood on the edge of reason, teetering on the brink of collapse.

All she wants now is to destroy that person.

She found a public phone station on the street corner and dialed the number of the person who had done the job for her.

"It's me." Her voice was cold and hard. "Give Xu Mancang her address."

"Let him make a huge fuss, the better."

"I want everyone to know what kind of person she is."

Su Changqing sat at the dining table with a gloomy expression.

The family already has a rebellious son, and now even this second daughter...

He felt both proud and furious when he thought of Su Feng.

This son is indeed outstanding, but he is too independent and never listens to instructions.

With the Su family's generations of foundation and connections, which path wouldn't be difficult for them, whether in politics or business?

He insisted on joining the special forces.

His abilities are outstanding, but this is completely contrary to the plans he was given.

Su Changqing had talked to him and argued with him, but she still couldn't get him to turn back.

He can't be too strict with him now.

During their worst argument two years ago, Su Feng bluntly said, "Let's go our separate ways," almost cutting off all contact with his family.

The situation only eased in the last two years.

I can occasionally make a phone call home.

The siblings were quite close when they were young, but gradually drifted apart as they grew up.

Su Ran is inherently arrogant, and she is proud of her family background and talent.

Su Yue is even more willful, domineering, and spoiled.

Every time their words and actions reached Su Feng's ears, they were met with merciless reprimands and punishments.

His almost cruel disciplinary methods were like training soldiers; his direct and cold approach instilled fear in his two younger sisters.

As a result, over the years, they have become somewhat afraid of this older brother.

After hanging up the phone, Su Ran stood by the phone booth for a long time.

She did not return to her unit.

Her feet seemed to move on their own, heading towards the temporary address the man had given her.

She wanted to see with her own eyes how utterly pathetic Ye Wenxi would be in the face of the human traffickers' "evidence".

She wanted to see with her own eyes the moment when that always calm and composed face was completely torn apart.

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

Outside the gate of the Lu family's small building in the 28th District residential compound.

Xu the Cripple has been squatting here for most of the day.

The man told him that Ye Wenxi lived here and had been going out frequently these past few days, so he could just keep watch and wait.

Finally, Xu the Cripple, who was dozing against the wall, saw a figure walk out of the gate.

She is stylishly dressed and has a calm and elegant demeanor.

She was completely different from the timid girl he remembered.

Apart from the faint recognizable features, Ye Wenxi in front of me was like a completely different person.

Xu the Cripple was stunned for a moment.

Is this really that brat?

They've really climbed the social ladder and are living a good life now.

He gritted his teeth, thinking, "This heartless wretch has probably long forgotten that she had a father who raised her."

The greed and resentment in Xu the Cripple's heart surged up.

He wished he could pounce on her right now and tear a piece of flesh off her body.

He stubbed out his pipe and quietly followed them.

As they drew closer, Xu the Cripple was about to call out for help.

Suddenly, a black sedan braked diagonally in front of him, directly between him and Ye Wenxi.

Two people quickly got out of the car, grabbed him from both sides, and shoved him into the back seat before he could say a word.

Before Xu the Cripple could even shout, he was led away from the spot with a look of terror in his eyes.

The car door closed, and the car sped away.

The two men released their hands from his mouth, and before Xu the Cripple could even see who they were, he hurriedly begged for mercy:

"Ouch...please spare me, sir! I didn't do anything, I was just passing by!"

"Xu Mancang".

A deep voice came from the passenger seat.

Xu the Cripple froze, looked up, and instantly seemed to be frozen in place.

He trembled and could barely speak.

Lu Weidong turned around, his eyes cold and sinister, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

"I remember I warned you..."

"Never appear in front of her again."
