Wu Meixia participated in the interrogation of Wang Hu and the others. Except for Zhang Guohong, all of them confessed and accepted their punishment.

He desperately tried to call Xia Enruo over to testify and prove that she was also a victim.

Seeing that they had no other choice, the police could only ask Wu Meixia to tell Xia Enruo to go and give a statement as a witness.

Gu Shaoxuan accompanied Xia Enruo to the police station. Faced with the police's questioning, Xia Enruo recounted the whole story of being kidnapped.

She also revealed everything about how Zhang Guohong had tricked her and attempted to assault her in order to escape.

Gu Shaoxuan was furious and slammed his fist on the table.

He wanted nothing more than to kill Zhang Guohong, that beast, for he even targeted his own cousin.

"Chief of Staff Gu, please don't get agitated. Rest assured, we will handle this matter impartially and severely punish such acts of deliberately harming military family members."

The police officers taking the statement felt that Zhang Guohong's behavior was inhuman.

As the saying goes, even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs. To even violate and frame one's own sister is simply worse than being an animal.

After this kidnapping, Xia Enruo made up her mind to immediately finalize the matter of the street shop.

She took Gu Shaoxuan to the sales center.

The saleswoman who greeted them was filled with envy when she saw the two of them. She never expected that the girl who often came to her to look at houses was actually a military wife.

Her husband is not only handsome but also a military officer; they are a perfect match.

"Sister, you're here again. This time you brought your husband with you. Have you decided which house you want?"

The saleswoman led the two to sit down, poured them a glass of water, and asked...

"Yes, I brought my husband here today because we want to finalize the purchase of this house, and this is a good opportunity for him to take a look as well."

Gu Shaoxuan followed Xia Enruo into the sales center. Although she had mentioned to him before that she wanted to buy a street-front property, he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

However, he was just about to talk to Xia Enruo about moving. Moving here would be a good option, as it would allow him to eat, live, and do business without any problems.

Although Gu Shaoxuan doesn't have enough money right now, his parents have plenty. He can just ask his grandfather and they'll transfer the money directly from the provincial capital.

The Gu family has extensive connections in the provincial capital and is quite wealthy. Gu Shaoxuan's grandfather was a high-ranking general who participated in the War of Resistance Against Japan.

His father was a high-ranking official in the provincial capital, and his mother was a girl from a wealthy family who stayed at home to take care of her husband and children. He also had a younger sister named Gu Shaoying, who was in high school.

Gu Shaoxuan concealed his family situation when he came to Yongning City to join the army, because he didn't want to live in the shadow of his family forever.

So since graduating from military academy and joining the army, I've always been the first to rush to do any hard or tiring work, all in order to make a name for myself.

He repeatedly told Lu Tuan not to tell his family a single word about his injury during the mission, not wanting his elders to worry about it.

The original owner came to the military base just two days after marrying Gu Shaoxuan, so she didn't know much about the specifics of the Gu family.

Now, Xia Enruo carries only fragmented and vague memories of the original owner, and knows nothing about the Gu family, only remembering that Gu Shaoxuan's mother did not agree to the marriage.

"Sis, if you've found the right one, just buy it. Several groups of people have come to look at street-front shops these past few days. If you make a decision sooner, you can pick a good location."

Xia Enruo found these words very familiar.

It seems that the sales staff at the real estate sales offices have been using the same sales pitches for decades: to create a sense of urgency and get customers to place orders sooner.

However, Xia Enruo had already decided that she would just let the saleswoman say what she wanted.

"We came here today to reserve a house. In a little while, you can take my husband and me to see it in person, and then we'll decide which one we want."

“Okay, sister, I like your straightforwardness. These new street-front buildings we built are among the best in Yongning City, both in terms of location and layout.”

Someone of your stature would be absolutely right to invest here.

When the saleswoman heard that Xia Enruo wanted to buy a house today, she couldn't stop smiling. If the deal went through, her commission would be substantial.

"Enruo, is this location alright?"

Gu Shaoxuan asked, as he knew very little about the current market. He spent his days in the army and was most proficient in tactical training.

“I think it’s good. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. It’s next to the medical university and close to the staff quarters.”

Investing here has been very helpful to my current business.

Hearing his wife say that, Gu Shaoxuan also felt that he had to buy it; her taste was definitely not wrong.

The two walked around to confirm the location of the shop, and finally negotiated a price of 5,150 yuan.

The saleswoman was drafting the purchase contract when Xia Enruo led Gu Shaoxuan to the bank to withdraw money.

5,000 is no small sum, and Xia Enruo really didn't dare to think about it any further if she encountered kidnappers, robberies, or thieves again.

"Enruo, I'm going to call home first! Wait for me a moment."

Gu Shaoxuan didn't have that much money. Xia Enruo led him to the bank to withdraw money, but they had to have his family transfer the money first.

Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing to stand in the bank without that much money.

"Make a phone call? Make what kind of phone call?"

Xia Enruo doesn't understand Gu Shaoxuan's actions. Does he have to report to his family before buying a house? Is Gu Shaoxuan some kind of mama's boy?

Do I need my mother's permission to buy a house? I can't stand it.

"Stop calling, let's go straight to the bank."

Xia Enruo pulled Gu Shaoxuan away.

“Enruo, I need to ask my family to send me money. We don’t have that much money on hand right now.”

Gu Shaoxuan said as he walked with his wife.

"Yes, who said you didn't? You still have a few hundred yuan in your savings account, right? Add to that your salary from the past few months, and I think that should be enough!"

When Xia Enruo heard that Gu Shaoxuan was going to call his family to ask for money, she thought to herself, "Luckily, he's not a mama's boy." She teased him and replied.

"Wife, that little bit of money isn't enough, it's far from enough!"

"I don't believe I can't withdraw 5,000 yuan."

Xia Enruo had her savings book in her pocket, so she felt very confident.

Gu Shaoxuan had no idea how much money Xia Enruo earned; he always thought that she was just making enough to feed her family by selling boxed lunches and doing laundry.

“If you believe me, I really can’t withdraw it. I know how much is in the savings account, less than 1,000 yuan.”

Xia Enruo ignored him and took his hand as they walked toward the bank.

Once inside the bank, Gu Shaoxuan felt a little embarrassed. His wife didn't believe him; the two of them really didn't have that much money on hand.

Jiang Pei was waiting in line at the bank to conduct her business when she saw the two of them enter hand in hand, and she was filled with jealousy.

"Brother Shaoxuan, you're here too."

Jiang Pei waved her hand, holding the completed form in her hand.

"How come I keep running into her everywhere? It's so unlucky."

Gu Shaoxuan felt annoyed just looking at Jiang Pei. He immediately gripped Xia Enruo's hand tightly and stared ahead expressionlessly.
