Chapter 27 Angry
Pei Xingzhi's expression immediately turned cold upon hearing Jiang Xiuxiu's words. Seeing the bruised face, he knew she had run into a bad guy. "Where is Meng Wanqiu? How is she? Is she injured?"
It was the first time that Jiang Xiuxiu saw Pei Xingzhi lose his composure like that. He used to be so arrogant in front of her and always looked gentle. Now that she said Meng Wanqiu was fine, Pei Xingzhi was still so anxious and worried. The contrast was too great.
Although she had already planned to give up on Pei Xingzhi, Jiang Xiuxiu still felt a pang of sadness at this moment. She didn't want to pay any attention to him and headed to the police station on her own. "I told you she's fine. Even if I told you, you wouldn't be able to find her. If you want to see her, just follow me."
Pei Xingzhi bit his lip, his eyes revealing a hint of ill will, but at the moment it was indeed only Jiang Xiuxiu who knew the whereabouts of Meng Wanqiu, and he couldn't force her, so he had to suppress his anxiety and followed with a cold face.
When they arrived at the police station, seeing Jiang Xiuxiu's miserable appearance and Pei Xingzhi's expressionless face, the police did not ask any questions and directly invited her in.
Among them, there was a young male policeman who kept looking at Pei Xingzhi with contempt. Jiang Xiuxiu curled her lips and didn't want to explain. Didn't this guy see that she was in such a state? He didn't even help her.
Pei Xingzhi didn't care at all. When he saw the young policeman looking at him, he stared back coldly until the other person felt embarrassed.
Pei Xingzhi had completely lost his usual gentleness. His cold expression made people want to beat him up. But Pei Xingzhi didn't care. He just wanted to see Meng Wanqiu as soon as possible and didn't want to say anything else.
Because it had nothing to do with Pei Xingzhi, only Jiang Xiuxiu was taken in for questioning. At this time, the policeman gave Pei Xingzhi a glass of water as usual, but his attitude was not very good.
The cup was placed heavily on the table, and the water inside splashed out, spilling onto Pei Xingzhi's trouser legs and shoes. Unfortunately, these shoes were made by Meng Wanqiu for Pei Xingzhi.
Pei Xingzhi's face was gloomy. "Officer, is this how you pour water?"
The young policeman was not afraid of Pei Xingzhi. This was the police station, their base camp. Besides, what he hated most was men who beat women. He snorted in his heart and thought, "He who beats women is a villain."
"Well, of course not. You have to be polite to people, but to a beast who beats a woman, that's how you treat him." The young policeman was arrogant, sure that Pei Xingzhi didn't dare to do anything to him.
As he spoke, the young policeman raised his chin and looked down at Pei Xingzhi, "Why, do you think your family should be respectful to animals?"
Pei Xingzhi chuckled when he heard this, took out a handkerchief to wipe the water stain, and then stood up. He was half a head taller than the young policeman. "Officer, haven't you heard the saying 'No investigation, no right to speak'?"
Pei Xingzhi seemed to be smiling, but his eyes were cold. This look was very oppressive. The young policeman took a step back, but then he felt that this seemed to lack momentum. He stiffened his neck and said, "Of course I have heard of it. This is what the great chairman said, but -"
"Xiao Wu, hurry up and come with me to the police station. We have a clue about the group that kidnapped your neighbor's sister."
Before Officer Xiao Wu finished speaking, a middle-aged policeman who came out of the interrogation room said to him.
Officer Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, then shouted loudly: "Yes!"
Pei Xingzhi also heard this, and seeing Jiang Xiuxiu following the middle-aged policeman, he hurriedly followed.
On the other side, Meng Wanqiu was guarding the two bad guys and waiting for Jiang Xiuxiu to call the police. He had no timer on him. When he looked up, he saw the square sky, and when he looked down, he saw the white walls and green tiles. He was so bored that he started to pick up the wall plaster.
She couldn't help but sigh that no matter in the past or now, whether it was the government office or the police station, their efficiency was so slow. If she hadn't subdued the man, the prisoner would have escaped long ago based on their speed.
Tired of stripping off the wall plaster, Meng Wanqiu started to think about the two disgusting men. She pulled out their belts and tied their left feet to their left hands, and their right feet to their right hands, so that there were two loops. She tied another loop around the hands and feet and continued to tie them together. The man named Baldy woke up from the pain in the middle of the process. Meng Wanqiu was annoyed by his noise and knocked him unconscious again.
Suddenly, thinking of these two disgusting men who actually violated women, and looking at their appearance, it was obviously not the first time, a trace of cruelty flashed in Meng Wanqiu's eyes. She secretly took some action on the two men, destroying their genitals so that these two guys could no longer be cruel.
When Meng Wanqiu started counting the ants on the ground, she finally heard footsteps.
The first person Meng Wanqiu saw was Pei Xingzhi. There was sweat on his forehead and his clothes were a little messy. After seeing her, he looked at her for a while and then looked away. He was not as angry as Meng Wanqiu had imagined.
For some reason, Meng Wanqiu felt a little uneasy when she saw Pei Xingzhi like this.
It is said that when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
Pei Xingzhi didn't say anything to her, nor did he scold her. Meng Wanqiu thought that this must be a serious matter, and she would have to coax him well when she got back.
Meng Wanqiu's intuition told her that if she didn't handle this matter properly, her end would definitely be miserable.
Behind them were the middle-aged policeman, a male policeman who looked to be around 30 years old, and Officer Xiao Wu, who had a young face.
Seeing the two suspects tied up in strange postures, the three police officers showed surprise in their eyes. Finally, they looked at Meng Wanqiu, who was here to arrest people, and were slightly shocked.
This girl is skinny and weak, but she is so capable that she can fight two people at the same time without losing. I wonder which family raised this brave girl.
The older officer came forward, took off his cap, and said solemnly, "Thank you, young comrade, for helping us apprehend the suspect. Please come back with us to the police station to take a statement."
Meng Wanqiu was still secretly glancing at Pei Xingzhi when the older officer suddenly spoke, startling her for a moment: "Ah, OK, no problem."
Pei Xingzhi naturally noticed Meng Wanqiu's peeking action, but this time he was determined to teach her a lesson and would not let her get away with it easily.
He didn't look at Meng Wanqiu, but turned to look at the two men on the ground. He walked over casually and accidentally kicked the two men in the abdomen, causing the unconscious prisoners to groan.
On the way here, Pei Xingzhi heard that these two guys were habitual criminals who had committed several crimes in Gucheng, all of which involved raping and trafficking women. The neighbor sister of Officer Xiao Wu disappeared because of this.
Officer Xiao Wu came over and prepared to take the man back to the police station. Naturally, he noticed Pei Xingzhi's little movements. At this moment, he did not say anything to blame Pei Xingzhi. He had already realized that he had misunderstood the other party. Officer Xiao Wu felt a little uncomfortable when facing Pei Xingzhi.
When he saw Pei Xingzhi kicking someone, he not only ignored it, but also kicked him twice more, specifically hitting the parts of his body where there was no flesh.
Pei Xingzhi glanced at Officer Xiao Wu indifferently. Officer Xiao Wu curled his lips and was about to apologize, but Pei Xingzhi walked aside without even glancing at him.
Officer Xiao Wu's smile froze on his face. He touched his head awkwardly and bent down to carry the suspect.
On the way back to the police station, Meng Wanqiu kept trying to find an opportunity to talk to Pei Xingzhi, but Pei Xingzhi always avoided her. In addition, the older police officer talked to her from time to time, so until they arrived at the police station, neither of them said a word.
"Name?"
"Meng Wanqiu."
"Where are you from?"
"Qinghe Production Team, Hongshan Commune, Gucheng County, Province G."
"Why did you come to the county? How did you run into those two people?"
There were two tables in the room. Meng Wanqiu sat at one, and the older police officer and a male police officer in his thirties sat opposite them. The only light was the sunlight coming in through the window.
Meng Wanqiu didn't expect to be asked so many details, and she felt a little unhappy, but she still answered obediently: "Today is my birthday. The most handsome man outside is my man. He has never been to the county before, so he took me out for a walk."
The older police officer naturally knew Pei Xingzhi. The handsome young man had been following them and acting as a free porter for them. When he heard what Meng Wanqiu said, he laughed. It was rare to see such a bold girl.
"...Then, I ran into those two bad guys. I was anxious and followed them. Sure enough, I saw two bastards bullying others. I fought with them and subdued them. You all know what happened next."
The older officer nodded, and the male officer next to him stopped writing and whispered, "It's consistent with Jiang Xiuxiu's statement."
Then, the older officer stood up and said with a smile, "Comrade Xiao Meng, my surname is Zhang, and I'm the deputy director of our Gucheng Police Station. I'm about the same age as your father, so I'll be gracious enough to call you Xiao Meng."
Meng Wanqiu quickly stood up and said, "Director Zhang, you're too polite. You can call me whatever you want."
After so many years of teaching by Grandma Meng, Meng Wanqiu has no problems with etiquette.
"Well, just call me Uncle Zhang." Director Zhang waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Okay, Uncle Zhang."
Seeing that Meng Wanqiu was no longer polite to him, Director Zhang's expression softened. "Xiao Meng, Uncle Zhang wants to ask you a question that is off topic. Please see if it is convenient for you to answer it. It doesn't matter if it is not convenient for you to answer it."
Meng Wanqiu: "It's okay, just ask." Even if it's inconvenient, I won't just give you a perfunctory answer.
Uncle Zhang pondered for a moment and asked, "Xiao Meng, who did you learn this skill from?"
Meng Wanqiu was stunned for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "My father is a veteran, and I've been strong since I was a child, so my father taught me a few moves."
"Oh, your father was a soldier." Uncle Zhang was about to push the door open and leave when he heard this, his eyes filled with surprise and joy. He then added, "Coincidentally, I was once a soldier, too."
"Really? This is such a coincidence." Meng Wanqiu took the door and pushed it open, and saw Pei Xingzhi sitting on a chair by the wall outside.
"That's no problem. A tiger father will have a tiger daughter. Your father must be an excellent soldier." Director Zhang exclaimed.
Of course, Meng Wanqiu nodded vigorously. Father Meng is the pride of their whole family.
When Uncle Zhang heard that Meng Wanqiu was a descendant of a soldier, he liked her even more. Seeing Pei Xingzhi, he also liked her and said, "Young man, your wife is here."
Pei Xingzhi stood up and gathered his clothes. He was startled when he heard Director Zhang's words. He gave Meng Wanqiu a complicated look, then looked away calmly, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
Meng Wanqiu pouted, feeling a little depressed and a little aggrieved.
After being married for so long, Pei Xingzhi had never been so cold to her, and now he was even giving her a look.
Meng Wanqiu clenched her fists and suddenly felt rebellious. She had taken the initiative to contact him so many times, but Pei Xingzhi ignored her. Today was her birthday. Pei Xingzhi was simply too much to treat her like this.
After Pei Xingzhi finished talking to Director Zhang, Meng Wanqiu snorted, turned her face to the other side, and walked out without waiting for Pei Xingzhi.
Pei Xingzhi was stunned, then burst out laughing in anger.
He hadn't even gotten angry yet, but the other party got angry first.
Looking at Meng Wanqiu's back, Pei Xingzhi felt that she was full of rebellion and it was time to teach her a lesson. This time she didn't say anything and dared to chase the criminals alone. There were so many people around her. If she had shouted, she would not have gone alone.
He heard Jiang Xiuxiu say that the two bad guys were carrying knives. God knows when he found out, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and his heart was pounding. It was not until he saw that Meng Wanqiu was safe and sound that he felt relieved.
Thinking of this, Pei Xingzhi quickly stepped forward and held Meng Wanqiu's hand.
Suddenly, she lost control of her strength and her hand hurt. Turning back, she saw Pei Xingzhi's cold expression and her anger surged. She shook Pei Xingzhi's hand off with all her might and said, "Let go!"
Pei Xingzhi realized that he had used too much force. When he was about to let go, he met Meng Wanqiu's cold eyes and the word "let go" without any fluctuation. His heart was shocked and he subconsciously let go, allowing Meng Wanqiu to shake him off.
Seeing Pei Xingzhi's hurt expression, Meng Wanqiu's heart suddenly ached, but she subconsciously ignored it and muttered softly: "Did you hurt me?"
These words sounded like both an accusation and an explanation.
After saying that, Meng Wanqiu lowered her eyelids, stopped looking at Pei Xingzhi, and turned away.
Pei Xingzhi was still standing there, and Meng Wanqiu's appearance just now kept flashing in his mind. Her cold eyes seemed to be warning a stranger.
Pei Xingzhi's eyes were filled with confusion and helplessness. He didn't understand why Meng Wanqiu suddenly had an attack and why she looked at him like that.
That cold look, as if looking at a stranger.
Aren’t they husband and wife?
