Chapter 24 I got married without even knowing it
Yang Zeyan parted her hair and carefully examined Du Ruoxia's wound. Du Ruoxia's thoughts were in disarray, and she forgot to answer him.
"Tell me, how will you repay me?" Yang Zeyan spoke again, and Du Ruoxia seemed to be bewitched.
Her mind was a complete blank; she didn't know how to answer. Just as she was about to speak, Yang Zeyan spoke up again.
"No need for explanation, it was my own choice."
Du Ruoxia inexplicably felt that the man had a strong sense of responsibility and was an excellent soldier.
"Haha, I just happen to have some free time today, so I came to share in the glorious deeds of our Yang Regiment." A hearty voice came from the doorway.
Du Ruoxia quickly sat down, and Yang Zeyan's face instantly turned cold as his hand was still raised.
A handsome middle-aged man walked in with a smile. He was wearing a hat and dressed in military uniform with four pockets, so he looked like a leader.
Just as Du Ruoxia was about to stand up and greet them, Yang Zeyan pulled her back.
"Sit still, ignore me." Yang Zeyan's expression was cold.
Du Ruoxia looked puzzled. Was it inappropriate to do this to a leader? She looked at Yang Zeyan questioningly.
"It's rare to have the chance to witness your misfortune." The middle-aged man didn't seem to mind, and pulled up a chair to sit down opposite him.
"Sit still and ignore him, it's not him," Yang Zeyan said, ignoring the man and Du Ruoxia.
"Pfft, tell me what's going on!" the man said to himself, but Yang Zeyan remained unmoved.
The middle-aged man gave Yang Zeyan a teasing look, then turned to look at Du Ruoxia with enthusiasm.
"Hello young lady, I'm Peng Guobin. Yang Zeyan and I are... well, colleagues!"
Du Ruoxia looked at Yang Zeyan with a blank expression. Was this colleague referring to the relationship between a leader and a subordinate?
"Hello!" Du Ruoxia stood up to greet him, and Yang Zeyan pulled her back down to sit.
"Go wherever you want, just don't get in my way here," Yang Zeyan said coldly.
"Oh, I won't bother you while I'm talking to you, little girl. Where are you from? Who's in your family? What do your parents do?"
Peng Guobin completely ignored Yang Zeyan's dark expression and kept questioning Du Ruoxia, making Du Ruoxia's hair stand on end.
"You talk so much, are you very free?" Yang Zeyan glanced at Peng Guobin with dangerous eyes.
Peng Guobin immediately waved his hand guiltily, "Hehe, I was just curious. Don't be nervous. Let's have a meal together later."
Du Ruoxia looked at Yang Zeyan, and seeing that he did not refuse, she slowly nodded.
"Oh dear, this Xiao Zhao is really something, taking so long just to see a bureau chief. Why don't we head out first?" Peng Guobin looked at the door and became impatient.
Who is Xiao Zhao? Du Ruoxia looked at Yang Zeyan, but he didn't say anything, so she waited.
After a while, people finally came in; they were all strangers.
"Sir, all done!" The soldier, dressed in similar clothes to Yang Zeyan, straightened up and saluted.
"Oh dear, boss, it's a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding!" a fat man said quickly.
Du Ruoxia guessed that the man was the bureau chief, so she stayed quietly without moving.
"Heh, you think you can just dismiss her with a misunderstanding? Do you think this young girl is easy to bully because she has no background?" Peng Guobin was not polite at all, and his face turned serious.
The bureau chief bowed and smiled apologetically, "No, I really didn't know you were..."
Yang Zeyan interrupted directly, "Just because you don't know something doesn't mean you can bully the weak, disregard the law, and bully farmers!"
“You’re tired of being an official, aren’t you?” Peng Guobin added coldly.
The bureau chief turned deathly pale instantly, and his legs almost gave way.
Du Ruoxia secretly gave a thumbs up in her heart. These parasites of the country should be crushed!
Peng Guobin's official position must be quite high. It would be great if she could get rid of him. She looked at Peng Guobin expectantly.
She was so engrossed in watching that she didn't notice the man beside her whose face had darkened.
"Boss, that's not how it is. I was also deceived by that Huang Dazhu."
Du Ruoxia asked, "Do you know He Meiling?"
"Huh? Who is He Meiling?"
"Huang Dazhu, what about you? Do you know He Meiling?" Du Ruoxia turned to ask Huang Dazhu, who was locked up.
Huang Dazhu shook his head.
Du Ruoxia found it strange. Could this forced marriage scene have been orchestrated by Wang Xia herself? But the two of them had never met before, and had no past or present grudges. Why would Wang Xia insist on arranging this marriage?
The bureau chief wiped the sweat from his brow and smiled at Peng Guobin, saying:
"How about we have lunch together and I have a chance to apologize?"
Peng Guobin glanced at Yang Zeyan, who had a cold face. He then looked away at the obsequious bureau chief.
"Alright, enough nonsense. We don't have time to listen. We have other things to deal with." Peng Guobin coldly ended the conversation.
"I want you to know how to deal with those troublemakers," Yang Zeyan threatened.
“That’s right, if I find out they’re still doing bad things, you’ll be in big trouble!” Peng Guobin chimed in.
The bureau chief was also startled and nodded repeatedly.
"Definitely! Definitely! I'll lock them up for half a month!"
Du Ruoxia looked disappointed; half a month was too lenient!
But she knew in her heart that this was the best possible outcome, since they were not from the same system.
When they left the police station, Jiang Dezhu was still waiting at the entrance; everyone else had already left.
"Du Zhiqing, are you alright?" Jiang Dezhu walked over quickly, looking anxious.
Du Ruoxia smiled and comforted Jiang Dezhu, "I'm fine, thank you, Captain!"
The captain sighed and shook his head. "Well, there are some things I can't interfere with, but I've brought you the marriage application. Keep it for yourself."
Those people were very well prepared. Now that Du Ruoxia's parents have sent a telegram agreeing to Du Ruoxia's marriage, even if it is a conspiracy, Jiang Dezhu cannot violate public order and good morals.
Although Huang Dazhu got his marriage certificate back, there's no guarantee he won't be so lucky next time.
To put it bluntly, even if Du Ruoxia were forced into marriage with the consent of both sets of parents, they wouldn't be able to interfere.
Du Ruoxia took the paper from Jiang Dezhu. She didn't want to admit defeat so easily. He Meiling's smug face that morning made her feel that this matter was inseparable from He Meiling, and that there might be someone behind her guiding her. That person was somewhat extraordinary.
She only learned today that at this time, as long as you have connections, you can get a marriage certificate.
If that's the case, these girls were married off without even knowing it.
"Captain, this thing won't solve the problem either," Du Ruoxia said with a helpless smile.
"Du Zhiqing, you should hurry up and find someone to marry, so that Huang Dazhu and your family won't be able to do anything to you!" Jiang Dezhu urged anxiously.
"Captain, do you think we're looking for cabbages?" Du Ruoxia spread her hands, looking at Jiang Dezhu.
Yang Zeyan stood behind Du Ruoxia, and his eyes darted around as he overheard their conversation.
Peng Guobin was talking to the other soldier and didn't notice what was happening here.
"It's lunchtime, let's have lunch together!" Yang Zeyan said to Jiang Dezhu as he walked over, naturally taking the paper from Du Ruoxia's hand.
Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?
