Chapter 99 Ye Chi
Tong Lu also agreed to call the police.
In fact, Zhao Xue's approach was not clever at all. Or if Gu Yimin was a weak person, her scheme would have succeeded, but Gu Yimin was obviously not that kind. She was very calm and went straight to the point, insisting on calling the police.
But Zhao Xue wanted to cover up the matter, and the difference in their attitudes was immediately apparent.
She couldn't figure out why Zhao Xue wanted to harm her, but she didn't want to let Zhao Xue go, so she had to handle the matter legally. Although if she called the police, her parents would know that she was pregnant with Zhou Cheng's child. But Zhao Xue already knew about this, so how long would it take for her parents to know?
If she didn't call the police, she wouldn't have any real evidence and wouldn't be able to do anything to Zhao Xue. Although Zhao Xue was only a stepdaughter, she was also the daughter of Captain Zhao in name.
So, after a brief thought, she decided to call the police.
Just then, three people came into the ward, Luo Yongnian, Zhuang Xueming and Ye Chi. Why did Ye Chi come?
Gu Yimin glanced at the three men who came in. She knew Luo Yongnian, another had taken Tong Lu and the others to the store, and the third, though also in military uniform, was refined and elegant. Compared to him, Luo Yongnian and the other soldier looked much rougher.
They were all familiar with each other; she and Gu Xueqiang were the only ones in the room together. Clearly, they were outnumbered compared to the others. Gu Yimin was a little nervous, but she stubbornly tried not to show it. She even turned to glance at Gu Xueqiang, telling him with her eyes not to be nervous.
When three tall and strong soldiers came in, Gu Xueqiang was a little nervous, worried that Gu Yimin would suffer. But seeing her comforting him, his nervous heart relaxed a lot. He couldn't be inferior to a girl.
He took a slight step and stood behind Gu Yimin in a protective posture.
"Why do you want to call the police?" Ye Chi was the first to speak. He said this with a smile, as if he was chatting about family matters.
Tong Lu wasn't familiar with Ye Chi, but she had heard a lot about him. For example, he was the most educated cadre in the Lizhou Military Region. He was an instructor, but his military skills were impeccable, especially his marksmanship. He was the son of a military family, but he had risen to his current position through his own strength. And so on.
Since he had witnessed this incident today, it would be better to tell him and let him handle it. He was a battalion-level instructor, half a level higher than Luo Yongnian, the deputy battalion commander, so he could intervene. Besides, it would be bad if military matters were brought to the local police station.
So Tong Lu recounted the incident and concluded, "Yimin insisted on calling the police, but Zhao Xue seemed to disagree. I felt it would be bad to wrongly accuse anyone, so it's best to handle this through public order."
Although she didn't explicitly say who did it, her words were full of implications. There was no fool in the room and they all understood it, including Zhao Xue, who naturally understood it as well.
She looked at Tong Lu in disbelief, tears in her eyes, "Tong Lu, are you saying that I pushed you?"
Tong Lu still felt some pain in her abdomen. She looked pale and pitiful. She moved slightly and said, "I didn't mean that. I was just stating the facts."
"I didn't want to call the police because we all have a good relationship and if there are any misunderstandings, we can just talk it out." Zhao Xue's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked gentle and fragile. She wiped her tears and said, "If you call the police, I will fully cooperate."
Zhuang Xueming looked at Zhao Xue, who was crying, and then at Gu Yimin, who looked calm. He didn't know whether he should believe Zhao Xue. After all, he had just told Zhao Xue about his fake marriage with Tong Lu when this happened.
But he had been with Zhao Xue for two years, and knowing her well, she wouldn't have done such a thing. He had promised her that Tong Lu would go abroad after getting married and return after having the baby. This had no impact on them, it would just postpone the wedding.
He didn't know Gu Yimin, so he couldn't tell whether she did it or not.
At this time, Luo Yongnian was already standing next to Gu Yimin. Although he didn't say anything, his attitude was very clear. He believed in Gu Yimin.
Luo Yongnian felt that there was no need to investigate this matter at all, as it was obviously done by Zhao Xue.
First of all, there was nothing going on between him and Gu Yimin. He just had some feelings for her, and then Zhuang Xueming and Tong Lu misunderstood him. Gu Yimin had no intention of harming Tong Lu.
On the contrary, Zhao Xue's motive was very clear. If Tong Lu's child was gone, Zhuang Xueming would not have had a fake marriage with her, and her crisis would have been resolved.
As an outsider, Luo Yongnian could clearly see that Zhao Xue was very nervous about Zhuang Xueming. After all, she was only Captain Zhao's stepdaughter, and rumor had it that she had a troubled relationship with Captain Zhao's biological daughter. Zhuang Xueming was the best candidate she could secure. She should not allow any risk factors to arise between her and Zhuang Xueming.
And now Tong Lu is that dangerous factor.
"There's no need to bother the local authorities with military matters," Ye Chi said. He then glanced between Tong Lu, Zhao Xue, and Gu Yimin and said, "Let me ask about this matter for you."
Tong Lu and Zhao Xue both agreed, and Ye Chi looked at Gu Yimin.
Although he still had a slight smile on his face, Gu Yimin felt an invisible pressure. She also looked at him, and the arc of his mouth widened a little. "Comrade Gu Yimin, what do you think?"
Gu Yimin didn't know how to answer this question. In fact, she wanted to call the police. Her father had a good relationship with the police station chief, Zhu Qingjun. With Zhu Qingjun around, at least he wouldn't be biased towards Zhao Xue.
But the person in front of him is different. They are both in the army, and it is obvious that this person also knows Zhao Xue. Will he favor Zhao Xue?
"Don't be afraid, Instructor Ye is very fair." Luo Yongnian's low voice reached her ears. Gu Yimin turned her head to look at him. Seeing his firm eyes, her heart settled a little.
Now she understood that the reason she had suffered such an undeserved disaster was probably because of Luo Yongnian. But she still believed in this man's character. He said that this instructor was fair, so she believed him.
So she nodded.
Ye Chi glanced back and forth between Gu Yimin and Luo Yongnian, then walked to the innermost bed and sat down. In an instant, the entire room became his dominant position.
Gu Yimin now knew that a strong aura was not only found in those serious and resolute people. Some people looked gentle and had a smile on their face, but they could still have a strong aura.
"There are some things I need to understand first," Ye Chi looked at Tong Lu, "your child..."
"It's Zhou Cheng's," Tong Lu said. At this point, it was no longer possible to keep it a secret.
Ye Chi hummed, his face serious.
At this time, Luo Yongnian said: "This child will be born as an illegal hukou. Before Zhou Cheng died, he asked me to take care of Tong Lu. In order to get the child registered, I discussed with Tong Lu a fake marriage. A few days ago, Xue Ming found out about this and said that he and Tong Lu should have a fake marriage. I asked him to discuss it with Zhao Xue first."
