The implication is that Zheng Heping may not be able to marry her again.

Zheng Heping was taken aback for a moment, then a mocking sneer appeared on his lips. "Xu Moran, I was wondering why Jiang Moli had become so cold towards me lately. So it turns out it's because she's made friends with someone like you. I ask you, what are you really thinking? Everyone else advises reconciliation, not separation, but you're the one who's advising us to get a divorce!"

Zheng Heping, as expected of a leader in the government, is not only eloquent but also adept at turning the tables and distorting the truth.

Xu Moran's emotions did not change drastically due to Zheng Ping's provocation. Instead, he crossed his hands, which were originally on the table, over his chest and scrutinized Zheng Ping with piercing eyes.

Being stared at like this by someone, especially Xu Moran, on her own turf, made Zheng Heping feel extremely uncomfortable.

"What...what do you want to do?" Zheng Heping asked Xu Moran with a wary look in his eyes.

Don't still think of him as that rural lad who lost his mother at a young age, came from a poor, remote area, had never seen much of the world, and had little courage.

He's a government official now; Xu Moran can't intimidate him.

Xu Moran ignored him and instead said to Xiao Chen, who was completely bewildered, "Xiao Chen, I'm thirsty. Could you please get me a glass of water?"

Xiao Chen nodded repeatedly, "Of course, Sister Xu, wait for me, I'll be right back."

Before the words were even finished, the person had already stood up, seemingly about to pour the water over Xu Moran as quickly as possible.

Xu Moran called out to him, smiling, "Xiao Chen, don't rush, I'm not that thirsty yet, you can get better slowly."

Although Xiao Chen is relatively inexperienced, he's not a new policeman. He understands what Xu Moran means. He's speaking to Xu Moran, but his eyes are on Zheng Heping. "Okay, I understand, Sister Xu. I'll go to your office first to get your water cup, and then I'll pour the water. If the water isn't boiled yet, I might have to wait a bit. It might take a while, is that okay?"

Xu Moran was satisfied with Xiao Chen's comprehension ability and continued with a smile, "It's alright, go ahead."

Zheng Heping saw Xiao Chen walking towards the door and almost rushed over. He wanted to grab his leg and cry and beg, "Officer Xiao Chen, please, please don't go. If you leave, I'm going to be in big trouble."

Then, Officer Chen, who was not very experienced and had a soft heart, couldn't bear to see a government official crying like that, so he decisively refused to pour water for Xu Moran.

A loud slam of the door rang in his ears, like a resounding slap across Zheng Heping's face. He had been overthinking things.

First of all, after being beaten twice in a row, he didn't even have the strength to stand up from his chair.

Secondly, he's a government official; he puts himself in that position, so how could he possibly do something like clinging to a junior policeman's leg and crying his eyes out?

So, sometimes, being too concerned about saving face can really get you killed.

After Officer Chen went out to pour water for Xu Moran, only Xu Moran and Zheng Heping remained in the room where the statement was being taken.

Zheng Heping nervously swallowed several times, speaking before Xu Moran could, hoping to gain the upper hand: "Xu Moran, I'm warning you, don't think I'm ignorant. I'm a government official, and this is a society governed by law. If you dare to use vigilante justice against me, I will absolutely not let you off!"

Xu Moran's purpose in sending Xiao Chen away was too obvious. Zheng Heping was terrified, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.

Xu Moran suddenly burst out laughing. "Zheng Heping, I know you're an official in the government, but even if we are officials, there's no need to bring it up every three sentences. After all, we're not kindergarten children anymore. Also, I, Xu Moran, am a police officer, of course I know the law, understand the law, and abide by the law. I won't trouble you to remind me, Zheng Heping. Finally, there's one more thing, which is what I want to say the most. Putting aside my status as a police officer, just considering that you're my best friend's husband, I should take better care of you. Look how badly you're injured. I didn't even ask you how your injury was earlier. Where does it hurt? How much pain are you experiencing?"

Zheng Heping shuddered again and said bluntly, "I don't need your concern!"

Xu Moran's words of concern not only terrified him but also sent chills down his spine.

Xu Moran insisted with a serious expression, "How can that be? You're still Jasmine's husband. For her sake, I have to care about you too."

After saying the last word, Xu Moran stood up from his chair and walked to Zheng Heping's side.

Zheng Heping initially tried to remain calm, but upon seeing what Xu Moran was holding, he couldn't keep up the act any longer. His eyes widened in horror as he stared at Xu Moran and asked in terror, "Xu Moran, what are you trying to do?"

Xu Moran's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile that looked like a smile, yet wasn't quite a smile; the most apt description would be a half-smile.

Looking into Zheng Heping's terrified eyes, she said, word by word, "Zheng Heping, relax. I just want to help you determine how serious your injury is."

Zheng Heping was so frightened that his voice changed tone, and he kept twisting his body, saying repeatedly, "I don't need you to confirm, I don't need you to check, Xu Moran, I'm warning you..."

Xu Moran slowly extended the book toward Zheng Heping's chest, interrupting him with a cold laugh, "Am I warning you because you're a government official, or am I warning you that this is a society governed by law?!"

Zheng Heping was stunned, and couldn't think of a reply to Xu Moran.

The next second before he made a sound, a sharp pain shot through his chest. He looked down and saw a book on his chest with a fist on it.
