Ye Wenxi grabbed Ding Jiahe's arm, lifted her up and shook her, looked her over from left to right, and then pinched her:

"Are you really alright? You're not hurt?"

"Those few things, could they hurt me?" Ding Jiahe scoffed.

Ye Wenxi was relieved and her eyes were full of admiration.

She witnessed it firsthand today; Ding Jiahe truly lived up to her reputation as a female warrior who had served on the front lines.

Those men couldn't even last two moves against her. One of them had just pounced on her when she took him down with a sidestep, her knee hitting his lower back, and he lay on the ground howling.

He barely used his right hand, yet he managed to subdue those men completely.

Of course, the two of them weren't idle either.

Ye Wenxi's "Child-Severing Kick" was used to its fullest potential today, one kick for each opponent, basically controlling them for more than ten seconds, enough for Ding Jiahe to finish them off.

Zhang Yunxia went even further, throwing all the dishes on the table at them.

Braised pork belly, pickled cabbage and spare ribs, and dumpling soup—I devoured them, plate and bowl alike.

The group was now in a sorry state, with soup and drinks mixed together, their hair pulled and messy, and vermicelli still clinging to their collars.

"Hey you two, watch your attitude!" The policeman tapped the table with his pencil, his face stern. "I'm questioning you here, and you're chatting away?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xiangyang burst into tears again.

"Uncle Policeman, my mom is a good person." He cried so hard his voice was almost hoarse, his little face was flushed red, and his face was covered with tears and snot.

public security:"......"

The police were worried because they couldn't get the child to leave no matter what they tried.

I just tried it. As soon as I picked him up, he screamed at the top of his lungs, refusing to let go of Zhang Yunxia.

The police officers in the entire police station were at their wits' end with him.

"You, take the child and go to the side first." The police officer pointed at Zhang Yunxia, ​​wanting to get the mother and child away first so that he could continue questioning them.

"No way, why did they just let her go?!" The thugs erupted from behind, one of them, his head covered in porridge, pointing at Zhang Yunxia and yelling, "They're so ruthless! Look how badly they beat us up!"

"Shut up!" the policeman roared, turning around, making the men shrink back. "It's not your turn yet! Are you trying to boss us around? Am I handling the case, or are you?"

The thugs pursed their lips and dared not utter a sound.

The police officer turned around, changed his tone, and exchanged glances with several colleagues.

"How about this... you notify your family and have them take the child away first?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Wenxi paused for a moment, then leaned forward:

"Comrade...we know we were wrong, we accept mediation and compensation, can we leave after this is all settled?" Ye Wenxi asked sincerely.

The police officer glanced at her, his pen pausing slightly.

"Don't you understand the rules? Mediation and compensation are necessary, but before the case is closed, the person must be picked up by their employer or a relative."

"Ah? Is that so..." Ye Wenxi really didn't understand the procedures of this era; it seemed that this rule didn't exist in modern times.

"Hurry up," the police officer waved his hand, urging.

Ye Wenxi stood still, biting her lip, without moving.

"Go ahead, Xiao Zhang, you go with her." The policeman gestured with his chin toward a young officer.

Ye Wenxi glanced at Zhang Yunxia.

"Sister-in-law, I'm too embarrassed to call home, so I can only call Weidong."

Zhang Yunxia was a little embarrassed and muttered softly, "Let's call Lao Chen over too."

The two exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat embarrassed.

Actually, given their status, any one of them could easily resolve this matter today.

The problem is, to actually confirm someone's identity, you have to alert everyone involved. The call goes to the military region, then the military region calls the political department, and the political department verifies it again... This whole process means half the system will know, which would have a very bad impact.

All three of them were shy, and none of them dared to disturb so many people.

I can only send my husband to make the trip privately.

A police officer led Ye Wenxi to the only telephone in the police station.

It was an old-fashioned rotary dial telephone, with a black body and a shiny paint finish from being worn. The handset felt heavy.

Ye Wenxi took a deep breath, picked up the receiver, and put his fingers into the dial, turning it around once.

"Beep—beep—beep—"

The phone in Lu Weidong's office rang, but no one answered it after it rang for a long time.

Ye Wenxi frowned, waited a few more times, but still no one answered.

She considered calling the clothing company and asking Sun Xiaolan for help, but then she changed her mind. She didn't want to bother too many people, and she didn't want them to worry.

She put down the receiver, picked it up again, and dialed the switchboard directly.

"Hello. I am the wife of Lu Weidong, Chief of Staff of the 2nd Independent Regiment."

As soon as she finished speaking, several police officers in the office turned around and looked at her.

public security:"???"

Ye Wenxi continued speaking into the microphone:

"I'm currently in Harbin with Commander Chen Yuanchuan's wife, and we've run into some trouble. Could you please transfer me to Commander Chen Yuanchuan's office?"

With a "thud," someone's pencil fell to the ground.

Several police officers seemed to have been put on pause. Some held their teacups to their lips, some were flipping through reports with their hands hanging in mid-air, and some were about to stand up but froze as soon as they got off their chairs.

The entire office was completely silent.

Only the operator's voice on the other end of the phone kept ringing as they transferred the call.

Inside Chen Yuanchuan's office in the division headquarters building.

Su Feng and Chen Yuanchuan sat in chairs in front of the desk, looking sideways at Lu Weidong.

Lu Weidong stood in front of a small blackboard with several pages of reports clipped to it. He pointed to the contents with chalk, explaining the experience from this trip to Yunnan and how to apply these findings to the Synthetic Assault Research Lab.

"The core of special operations is..."

Before he could finish speaking, the phone on the table rang.

"Feed? Who is it?" Chen Yuanchuan answered casually.

"Wenxi?" He paused for a moment, raising an eyebrow slightly.

Lu Weidong and Su Feng turned their heads sharply, their eyes falling on the telephone.

Chen Yuanchuan glanced at Lu Weidong and handed him the receiver:

"They're looking for you, saying it's urgent, and they called me."

He leaned back in his chair and couldn't help but complain:

"Good grief, what could be so urgent? We're in a meeting right now. Aren't you two being a little too clingy?"

Su Feng remained silent, but rolled his eyes.

Lu Weidong ignored him and quickly answered the phone.

He didn't think Ye Wenxi was just trying to get close to him; there must be something really going on.

"Feed? What's wrong?" Lu Weidong's tone was slightly tense.

"Hey... Wei Dong, I'm sorry, you might have to go back to Harbin. I got into a fight and ended up in the police station." Ye Wenxi barely uttered the last few words.

"What?!" His voice suddenly rose. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I didn't suffer any loss, but I'm too embarrassed to tell my parents. Could you... take me out?" Ye Wenxi said, shrinking her neck and looking a little embarrassed.

"Wait, I'll be right there."

Just as he was about to hang up, Ye Wenxi shouted loudly from the other end:

"Wait a minute!!"

Lu Weidong put the receiver back to his ear: "What's wrong?"

"Let's call Commander Chen too. Sister Yunxia and Ding Jiahe... we're all here."

Lu Weidong: "..."

Lu Weidong: "Okay, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, he looked up and met the eyes of Chen Yuanchuan and Su Feng.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yuanchuan also sensed something was wrong and sat up straight.

Lu Weidong pinched the bridge of his nose, his voice muffled:

"Um... I have to go back to Harbin. Wenxi got into a fight and ended up in the police station."

Su Feng: "Huh?"

Chen Yuanchuan was also stunned: "What?!"

The two spoke almost simultaneously: "Is she alright?"

"It's alright, I didn't suffer any losses." Lu Weidong paused, "but the person is being held there, I need to go and deal with it."

Chen Yuanchuan breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back, and shook his head helplessly:

"Sigh... Wenxi is still too young and acts impulsively."

Lu Weidong looked at him: "...Commander."

"Um?"

"My sister-in-law is also at the police station." Lu Weidong said expressionlessly, "The three of them got into a group fight."

"Pfft!" Su Feng couldn't help but cover his mouth, his shoulders already shaking.

"What?!" Chen Yuanchuan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

He then closed his eyes and sighed heavily.
