Chapter 106 Overestimating Oneself
To be honest, many of the educated youth have already returned to the city.
Even if many people come back without proper documentation, as long as they don't cause trouble or get reported, the authorities don't bother with them.
But these people had offended the wrong people.
Therefore, they were destined not to stay in the capital.
As he spoke, Director Ma waved his hand, and several staff members behind him prepared to step forward and pull Gu Yanxiao up.
Seeing this, Su Xiangwan directly blocked Gu Yanxiao's path and said in an icy voice, "Anyone who dares to touch him will have to try!"
Director Ma looked at her delicate, frail appearance and a hint of mockery on his face: "What? You don't mean to stop us, do you?"
"I advise you to be honest, otherwise, it would be terrible if you harmed the baby in your belly!"
Director Ma appeared to be concerned about Su Xiangwan, but in reality, his cold eyes swept over Su Xiangwan's protruding belly with intense malice.
Although the messenger didn't say it explicitly, his words implied that he really didn't want Su Xiangwan's baby to be born.
If Su Xiangwan really dares to fight them.
They wouldn't mind if, "by accident," Su Xiangwan lost her baby.
"What you're doing is against the rules. Since I've issued a letter of introduction, I can easily find out the truth with a simple investigation. Aren't you afraid that if this gets out, you'll lose your job?"
Su Xiangwan's eyes darkened. Even though Director Ma and the others hadn't said it explicitly, she knew very well that they must have been instructed by someone or received benefits to come and target her and her group.
As for the person who instigated it, it should be someone from the second branch of the Gu family without a doubt.
"You think you can't keep your job? Ha! You overestimate yourselves. I'd like to see if you have the ability to make me lose my job!"
Director Ma laughed heartily.
In his view, Su Xiangwan and the others were nothing more than abandoned children who were sent to the countryside as educated youth because they lacked connections.
He could crush such a person with a mere flick of his finger.
How dare they threaten me? It's ridiculous!
"Oh? Is that so?"
Su Xiangwan raised an eyebrow, looked behind Director Ma and the others, and said, "Director Ding, if you don't show yourself soon, I'm going to be bullied to death!"
Director Ding?
Director Ma was taken aback; there was no director with the surname Ding in their department!
Is Su Xiangwan just bluffing?
"How did you know it was me?" Ding Yaping walked in from outside the ward, glanced at the composed Su Xiangwan, and shook his head helplessly: "You don't look like someone who would be bullied!"
"Director Ding, what do you mean by this? Do you mean that I'm actually being bullied, and that's what you want to see?"
Su Xiangwan patted her big belly. If it weren't for the inconvenience caused by her belly, she would have really wanted to beat these guys up.
"Which department are you from?"
Director Ma looked at Ding Yaping and asked with an uncertain expression.
Ding Yaping ignored Director Ma and said directly to the person behind him, "Comrade Meng, this is a matter for your department, so I won't interfere. You can handle it!"
Comrade Meng?
Meng...
Could it be...?
Director Ma's pupils suddenly contracted, and his expression changed drastically when he saw Meng Lingshuo walking in from outside.
"Director Ma, you're really quite impressive!"
Meng Lingshuo spoke with a stern face, how dare they tear up someone else's letter of introduction and directly attack a woman who had just undergone surgery and a pregnant woman with a big belly.
In particular, these things happened to fall into Ding Yaping's eyes, which made him lose face completely.
"Boss, you...you have to let me explain..."
Director Ma spoke nervously.
Meng Lingshuo snorted coldly: "Of course I'll listen to your explanation, but not here."
With that, Meng Lingshuo waved his hand behind him: "Take them all back to me."
At a command, several people walked in from outside and led Director Ma and his group out.
Meng Lingshuo nodded to Su Xiangwan and said, "Comrade Su, don't worry, we will handle this matter strictly and will not let you suffer in vain."
Before Su Xiangwan could speak, Ding Yaping interjected, "Of course, Lao Meng, not to mention Su Xiangwan, who has made contributions to our country, her husband Gu Yanxiao is also a promising soldier who has made many merits. After this surgery and recuperation, he will definitely return to the army. You can't let the country's heroes feel disheartened!"
Hearing Ding Yaping say this, Meng Lingshuo was startled.
As a leader in the capital, he had heard of the name Gu Yanxiao.
If it weren't for the bullet near his heart that forced him to leave the army to recover, he would have been a promising young talent.
This time, the guy surnamed Ma has really bitten off more than he can chew.
"Don't worry, Director Ding, I will go back and interrogate them thoroughly. I will absolutely not let the country's heroes shed blood and tears!"
Meng Lingshuo decided that after returning, he would thoroughly investigate Director Ma's matter.
This time, it wasn't just out of respect for Ding Yaping, but also to do Gu Yanxiao and the others a favor.
Gu Yanxiao, a young man destined to distinguish himself in the military, deserves to do this.
"Thank you, Director Ding."
After Meng Lingshuo left, Su Xiangwan thanked Ding Yaping.
"Xiang Wan, why are you still being so polite with me?" Ding Yaping waved his hand and glanced at Gu Yanxiao, who was still sleeping in the hospital bed.
He lowered his voice slightly and asked, "But speaking of which, how did you know that people from the Tail-Cutting Society would be here today?"
Su Xiangwan sighed softly and recounted how she had been followed by Gou Sheng and Lai Tou the day before, who had tried to kidnap her to threaten Gu Yanxiao into not having surgery.
"This is outrageous! These people are utterly lawless!"
Ding Yaping is no fool to have reached his current position; he guessed who was behind it just from Su Xiangwan's words.
"Xiang Wan, what do you plan to do now?"
Ding Yaping initially only admired Su Xiangwan for her talent, but after spending so much time together, he has come to truly regard her as his niece.
This is why, after Su Xiangwan greeted him yesterday, he immediately contacted Meng Lingshuo and waited outside, ready to protect Su Xiangwan at the crucial moment.
"Let's see how Yan Xiao handles this once he wakes up!"
Su Xiangwan spoke up, but since this was someone from the Gu family, she still had to consider Gu Yanxiao's attitude.
Moreover, she believed that Gu Yanxiao must have already made his own plans, otherwise he wouldn't have directly asked Uncle Wang and the others to lock up Gousheng and Laitou yesterday.
I think I've made up my mind. Once the surgery is over and I have no more worries, I'll resolve this issue all at once.
