Chapter 147
Hearing this familiar voice, everyone present was stunned.
When Zhong Qiao saw him, for some reason, it was as if a huge stone had fallen from his heart.
After not seeing him for more than a year, Ji Hebai had become much darker. He must have suffered a lot in the army. But looking at him with his military cap slung over his shoulder, his posture upright and his energetic appearance, Zhong Qiao felt very relieved, relieved that he had found his own path.
Ji Hebai's gaze swept across everyone and reached Zhong Qiao's eyes. After a long moment, he smiled softly, "Long time no see, Zhong Qiao."
Zhong Qiao's heart was filled with mixed feelings, and he smiled back, "Long time no see."
Xu Shaojun turned around in disbelief and saw a man in military uniform standing at the door. The face that he had deliberately forgotten in his mind suddenly appeared in front of him.
The dark memories of that time flooded his brain, including his reason.
"Ji Hebai." Xu Shaojun's eyes were bloodshot, his body swayed, and he took a step back.
It was Ji Hebai? Shouldn't he be abroad? Why was he here, and even in contact with Zhong Qiao?
A terrible thought came to his mind. Xu Shaojun glanced at Zhong Qiao, then at Ji Hebai. He suddenly flew into a rage: "You two adulterers! It turns out you had colluded with each other all along."
He pointed at Zhong Qiao's nose and cursed, "I've been obsessed with you all these years and even wanted to reconcile with you. It turns out I was deceived a long time ago. You two dogs must have been in contact for a long time. Why are you pretending here now?"
"Zhong Qiao, I thought you were a chaste and virtuous woman who remained chaste even after the divorce. I was really wrong!"
Zhong Qiao frowned, but before she could refute or say anything, Ji Hebai, unable to bear it any longer, strode forward and grabbed him by the collar.
Xu Shaojun was originally shorter than him, and after being caught by him, he tried to resist and his face turned red with anxiety.
However, Ji Hebai didn't give him this opportunity at all.
God knows how long he has been waiting for this day. He finally got the chance to deal with him, and of course he couldn't let him go. Remembering that other people had said how Xu Shaojun targeted Zhong Qiao and how he abandoned Zhong Qiao, Ji Hebai felt furious.
"Ji Hebai, are you crazy?" Seeing that he was about to be escorted out the door, which was full of passers-by, Xu Shaojun, who always cared about his reputation, could not stand it any longer. "You are assaulting me. I can call the police to arrest you."
"Call the police?" Ji Hebai laughed and unceremoniously locked him behind the door. "I haven't called the police to arrest you yet. How should I charge you with trespassing?"
"Xu Shaojun, you should be worried about yourself."
Before he finished speaking, Ji Hebai punched Xu Shaojun in the face with a cold face.
Xu Shaojun only felt that half of his face was numb, and then quickly became hot. Then, before he could scream, Ji Hebai punched him a few more times. Although they were not in the vital parts, they were extremely painful, and they were all in hidden places.
"Ji Hebai, you're crazy." Xu Shaojun didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. "You dared to hit me before, and you still dare to hit me now? Do you think the whole Suzhou is your home?"
Ji Hebai said nothing. After beating him up, he pushed open the door and threw him out like trash.
People passing by looked at him sideways, and Ji Hebai put on a serious look.
"This person broke into a private residence and was reported by kind-hearted citizens, so we came to drive him away."
The ministers who did not know the truth saw him in military uniform, with an extraordinary demeanor and a very good appearance, and then saw Xu Shaojun lying on the ground in a miserable state, and they were immediately convinced.
"I didn't realize that this guy, with all his hands and feet, actually broke into a private house."
"I think he's probably a habitual criminal who steals from houses with lots of women."
"I have to lock the door when I get home to avoid thieves."
Xu Shaojun was beaten so badly that he was completely dazed: "Ji Hebai, just wait for me."
He didn't bring enough people today, and didn't expect to be intercepted by Ji Hebai. Moreover, it was on the Zhong family's territory. He was outnumbered and didn't dare to rush in rashly. He could only wait for the next opportunity to find Zhong Qiao again.
Thinking of this, Xu Shaojun, who bullied the weak and feared the strong, covered half of his bruised face and fled in panic.
"Look at that bear." Zhou Yan felt very happy. "He was showing off just now, wanting to drag you away right then and there. If he met someone more ruthless than him, he would run away faster than a rabbit. This kind of person still shamelessly pesters you. If anything happens in the future, I guarantee that you will be the first one to be abandoned."
Zhong Qiao smiled but did not answer.
Of course, she knew better than anyone what kind of person Xu Shaojun was. He looked elegant on the outside, but was actually cowardly, hypocritical, and selfish.
Someone should have come to deal with Xu Shaojun long ago and teach him a lesson.
After Ji Hebai finished packing everything, he walked towards Zhong Qiao until he was in front of him.
"He Bai." Father Zhong looked at him with immense gratitude, "Thank goodness you're here, otherwise we wouldn't be able to do anything."
Since his health deteriorated, Mr. Zhong often felt tired. Facing an adult man, he no longer had the strength he had before to protect his family. When he saw Xu Shaojun coming to his house, he really had no choice.
Ji Hebai supported his hand and couldn't help frowning. He didn't know why, but Mr. Zhong's hands were particularly cold and rough. Most importantly, the texture of the human skin was not right. It felt like wrinkled tree bark.
"Uncle." Ji Hebai retracted his expression and replaced it with a gentle smile. "It's been a long time since we last met. How are you?"
Mr. Zhong smiled from ear to ear: "Good, of course it can be bad? Don't worry, I'm fine."
Mother Zhong also sighed with emotion: "He Bai, you came at the perfect time, otherwise we really don't know what to do. Look at you, you didn't even tell us when you joined the army. You left without saying anything back then, and I didn't even have the chance to bring you anything to eat or drink."
Ji Hebai said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it happened suddenly, otherwise I would definitely say hello to my aunt."
"Alright, alright, I'm glad you're back." Father Zhong looked him over carefully. "You look like a real man now, much better than your frail self before."
Ji Hebai smiled and turned to look at Zhong Qiao. The two looked at each other, and everything was expressed in their eyes.
Zhou Yan tacitly realized that something was wrong and found an excuse to send the two people away.
"Come on, let's go cook first. It's rare for the kids to come back, so we have to make some delicious dishes. We don't have this kind of food in the army."
Mr. and Mrs. Zhong are not fools. They have been through this before and naturally know the unusual relationship between Zhong Qiao and Ji Hebai. They are both relieved and worried, but in the end they still go out.
Zhong Qiao and Ji Hebai were the only ones left in the entire space.
Ji Hebai spoke first.
"Zhong Qiao, after more than a year, do you blame me for leaving without saying goodbye?"
