Chapter 12 Commander Qin makes a domineering entrance, who dares to bully my wife?
"You called me, is there something you need?" Her voice was calm and distant, as if she were looking at a complete stranger.
When Zhou Mingyuan saw her, he was taken aback at first.
Jiang Wu today is completely different from the one he remembers.
She was wearing a simple blue cotton dress, and her hair was casually tied back.
She wasn't wearing makeup, yet she was more beautiful and captivating than ever before.
Those eyes were clear and calm, with a penetrating power that made his heart tremble, completely devoid of the infatuation and admiration he once had.
This change made Zhou Mingyuan very uncomfortable.
He was used to Jiang Wu doting on him and obeying his every word.
Her cold demeanor now made him feel that his pride had been challenged.
"Jiang Wu! What do you mean?" He suppressed his displeasure and questioned her.
"That afternoon, I waited for you at the dock! I waited from afternoon until dark! The ships had all sailed away, but you still hadn't come!"
"Do you know that I even quit my job at the performing arts troupe for you! I'm prepared to give up everything for you!"
"Is this how you treat me?!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice grew louder and louder.
He wanted everyone to hear it, to know that Jiang Wu had betrayed him and let him down!
He's going to completely ruin Jiang Wu's reputation!
Sure enough, as soon as he said that, the surrounding crowd immediately erupted in uproar.
"Oh my god! He really quit his job for Jiang Wu?"
"We're doomed! This is irrefutable evidence!"
"I told you, this woman is no good! She's two-timing me!"
"Poor Commander Qin, he's been cuckolded like this!"
"This is going to be good! When Commander Qin gets back, we'll skin her alive!"
Listening to the unpleasant comments around her, Jiang Wu's face gradually turned cold.
She looked at the man in front of her who was still acting out a "tragic drama" and suddenly found it ridiculous.
Quit your job? Give up everything?
With a quick probe using her divine sense, she uncovered the man's true nature.
He never resigned!
He was just upset after being criticized by the leaders of the performing arts troupe and wanted to change places.
As for giving up everything for the original owner, that's a joke.
What he was attracted to from beginning to end was only the original owner's beauty and the non-existent "background" of her family.
He thought the original owner was the daughter of some high-ranking official, which is why he went to great lengths to deceive her.
Now that he sees her change of heart and climb up to Qin Lie, this "big tree," he feels resentful and comes to cause trouble.
He wanted to ruin her, but also wanted to get some more benefits out of her.
What a despicable and shameless man.
"Are you done?" Jiang Wu asked coldly after he finished speaking.
Zhou Mingyuan was taken aback by her calm reaction.
In his imagination, Jiang Wu would panic, apologize to him, and beg him to stop making trouble.
But she didn't.
She just looked at him calmly, with even a hint of pity in her eyes.
"you……"
"Director Zhou, right?" Jiang Wu interrupted him.
"I don't know what nonsense you're spouting."
"Are we that close?"
"It seems like we haven't had any contact since we met at the performance, right?"
Her words stunned Zhou Mingyuan and everyone around her.
Not familiar with each other?
No overlap whatsoever?
Is this...is this blatant lying?!
"Jiang Wu! How dare you do it but not admit it?!" Zhou Mingyuan was so angry that his face turned white.
"Have you forgotten how you wrote me those letters? Have you forgotten how you told me you loved me, that you wanted to divorce Qin Lie and be with me?"
"I still have all those letters! Do you want me to take them out now and let everyone see them?"
He's threatening her!
The wives of the soldiers around them all wore expressions of anticipation, as if they were watching a good show.
With witnesses and physical evidence, let's see how Jiang Wu tries to deny it now!
However, Jiang Wu's face remained completely calm.
She even laughed.
The smile was faint, yet it carried an indescribable sarcasm.
"A letter?" she asked, looking at Zhou Mingyuan, enunciating each word clearly.
"What letter?"
"You, a grown man, forged a woman's handwriting to write me shameless letters, and now you want to use them to slander my innocence?"
"Zhou Mingyuan, have you no shame?"
"What?!"
Jiang Wu's words were like a bombshell.
Everyone was stunned by the explosion.
Forged handwriting?
Did Zhou Mingyuan write the letter himself and then frame Jiang Wu?
This...this plot twist happened way too fast!
Zhou Mingyuan stared at Jiang Wu in disbelief, as if struck by lightning.
He never expected Jiang Wu to pull such a move!
Turning the tables on us!
"You...you're talking nonsense! Those letters were clearly written by you!" he shouted in a fit of anger, speaking without thinking.
"Really?" Jiang Wu raised an eyebrow.
"Then why don't we take those so-called 'letters' to the military security department now and find a professional handwriting expert to examine them properly?"
"Let's see if I wrote it, or if it's a play you, a man with ulterior motives, directed and acted out yourself!"
"By the way, have the military leaders investigate you thoroughly as well."
"Let's see if you've done anything else illegal or disorderly besides slandering military families!"
Jiang Wu's voice was firm and resolute.
Every word was like a heavy hammer, striking Zhou Mingyuan's heart hard.
Go to the security office?
Looking for handwriting analysis?
Are we still going to investigate him?
Zhou Mingyuan panicked completely.
Those letters were indeed written by the original owner.
But he didn't dare to get it tested!
Because he himself isn't clean either!
While in the cultural troupe, he relied on his talent and had ambiguous relationships with several female comrades.
If he's really investigated, his future will be completely ruined!
Looking at the composed woman before him, who seemed to have everything under control, he felt fear for the first time.
He felt like a clown.
She saw through all his thoughts and schemes.
He was no match for her at all!
Just as Zhou Mingyuan was feeling guilty and terrified, caught in a dilemma, a cold and piercing voice rang out from outside the crowd.
"What's all this noise about!"
It's Qin Lie!
He's back!
The crowd automatically parted to make way.
Qin Lie was dressed in a crisp military uniform, with training equipment slung over his shoulder.
He had just returned from the training ground when he saw a large crowd gathered in front of his house from a distance.
There was also a man who was arguing with his wife.
His face instantly darkened.
He strode over, the chilling aura he carried from the training ground making the surrounding temperature drop several degrees.
Everyone fell silent.
Qin Lie walked to the courtyard gate, his gaze first falling on Jiang Wu.
Seeing that her face was pale and her eyes were slightly red, she looked like she had been wronged.
His heart clenched suddenly.
Then, his gaze shot like a knife to Zhou Mingyuan, who was standing opposite her.
"Who are you?" His voice was so cold it could drop ice crystals.
"How dare you bully my woman at my doorstep?"
Zhou Mingyuan was so frightened by that look that his legs went weak.
Although he was considered an officer, he was nothing compared to Qin Lie, a powerful regimental commander who had come from the battlefield and commanded troops.
"Commander Qin... Commander Qin..." he stammered, unable to utter a single word.
The wives of the soldiers around them were all incredibly excited to see Qin Lie's protective stance towards his wife.
Those with a knack for finding fault immediately crowded around and started complaining all at once.
"Commander Qin! You're finally back!"
"This man...he slandered your wife!"
"He said... he said Jiang Wu and he had made a pact to elope! He also said Jiang Wu had written him a lot of love letters!"
"You need to do something about this! This is absolutely lawless!"
They deliberately said some very harsh things, just to see how Qin Lie would handle it.
Should you believe your wife, or this other man with "witness testimony and physical evidence"?
Qin Lie's expression turned very unpleasant upon hearing these words.
P.S.: I forgot my keys when I left home this morning, and then I had to go back to get them. I almost missed my train.
