Xia Chengzong held his own hair, a pained expression on his face as he spoke lowly, "Ha, how is it irrelevant? My family members are scoundrel, and I am a thug—not a good bunch at all!"
Xia Chuyi exhaled. She knew her elder brother had been deeply hurt by their family.
Every family has their own difficult scripture to chant, and often the most hurtful and helpless things come from one’s closest kin.
"They are they, you are you."
"Just like my mom is my mom, and I am me."
"Would you treat me like my mom just because of her?"
Xia Chengzong lifted his head but quickly looked down again, his voice repressed as he said, "They will come again."
He knew this fact all too well, which made him feel especially unable to raise his head.
"Don’t worry, soon, they won’t dare to come," Xia Chuyi said calmly, a cold gleam flashing in her eyes.
If she remembered correctly, the incident that caused Xia Chengzu to lose his job was about to happen.
In her past life, that incident merely cost him his job.
This time around, she intended to exploit the event to make him lose even more. At the same time, she would ensure that the Xia Family would not dare trouble her again.
A police car quickly arrived and stopped.
The people who got out of the car were Xiao Wang and Old Chang.
"Commander Huo, little sister-in-law, good day!" Xiao Wang stepped out, stood at attention, and respectfully saluted.
Xia Chuyi turned her head, and indeed, without her noticing, Huo Shiqian had already come to her side.
His face was expressionless, as if he had not just witnessed an inconvenient scene involving Xia Chuyi.
"Mm." He nodded at Xiao Wang first, then extended his large hand and enveloped her small hand in it.
Feeling the strength from his palm, Xia Chuyi was surprised but felt warmth inside.
He was showing her through his actions that he was always there.
The "Uncle Liberation Army" was indeed a warm-hearted person!
She moved a bit closer to him, standing proudly beside him, her small hand gripping his tightly.
This man was too good; she couldn’t bear to let go.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Wang’s eyes brightened noticeably.
Their commander had succeeded?
No wonder he was the commander!
Old Chang, unaware of the convoluted details, simply assumed that Commander Huo and Xia Chuyi had always been close. As someone who had seen the commander single for so many years, he felt reassured.
Li Zitao was also there, his eyes naturally bright and cunning.
"How are things going?" Huo Shiqian asked calmly, ignoring the "pure" looks from the others around him.
Old Chang answered with a cheerful smile, "All clear, those matters were confirmed."
"You are so capable, Commander, to know even those hidden clues," Old Chang praised exuberantly.
Huo Shiqian’s expression didn’t change as he simply responded with a "Mm."
Xia Chuyi looked at him, her mouth curving into a smile.
"The matter of the shop being smashed has also been clarified; it was Zhang Xiaoling who asked Li Cai to find people," Old Chang, totally oblivious to their subtle exchange, continued.
"This Li Cai, unable to find anyone willing to take the job, went to some drug addicts who had just been released from prison."
"Because of that, those people acted without restraint, and so..."
Old Chang glanced at Xia Chuyi and didn’t continue.
But the unfinished words were known to all.
That was why Zhao Xiaogui had been so severely injured.
"Fortunately, it turned out to be nothing serious in the end," Old Chang continued, "those who were involved in the assault have been arrested."
"All other related individuals have been taken into custody."
"As for Zhang Zhicheng and Lin Aiguo, they have already been apprehended."
"In short, the skies of Ling County have finally been overturned!" Old Chang finally exhaled a breath of pent-up air.
