"Sister-in-law, just ask me whatever you want to ask. The other brothers I brought are staying at the guesthouse arranged by the police station. It's not appropriate for me to be here alone. I'll go back after we finish talking."
Captain Gong was very smart; he knew that what Xia Anyan was going to say was definitely not about Gu Shen.
But he didn't bring it up himself; he just gave Xia Anyan the opportunity to speak first.
Xia Anyan sighed: "Captain Gong, you must have guessed by now that those two meals tonight were definitely not a gift from a friend."
Captain Gong didn't speak, but remained silent.
Xia Anyan didn't expect him to say anything at this time, and just continued to talk to herself: "To be honest, we did do some things this afternoon, but the person has already left."
"Besides, they didn't do anything heinous, so I don't think they did anything wrong. If you're worried about this and afraid that I'll implicate Ah Shen, then I can think of another way to get out of this."
"But I feel I still have to tell you, as a way of giving you an explanation."
Captain Gong stared at Xia Anyan in silence for a long time before finally giving a faint reply.
"Sister-in-law, if you don't have anything else, I'll be going now."
He remained calm and indifferent, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Xia Anyan could tell that he was somewhat unhappy.
Captain Gong already disliked her somewhat, and it had only recently begun to change his opinion of her. We can't let him misunderstand her again because of this incident.
“Captain Gong,” Xia Anyan jogged a few steps to catch up, “The reason I didn’t tell you about this beforehand was because there simply wasn’t enough time at the time.”
“I could have kept this a secret forever, but I chose to tell you because I truly consider myself one of you. I believe that even if Ah Shen were here, he would not refuse my help.”
Captain Gong was so angry he laughed.
He knew his brother was a hopeless romantic; even before they got married, he would constantly mention that he had a fiancée.
Now that the two have finally gotten married, his attitude towards Xia Anyan will definitely only be better.
What Captain Gong found hard to accept was that Xia Anyan could shamelessly claim that she had thought things through after doing such a thing.
If those people find out about this, has she considered Gu Shen's situation?
"Do you know what Lao Gu is doing right now? If it weren't for the fact that he's going to marry you, he wouldn't need to take on this mission at all."
"It's because of you that he took the risk and did these things. He didn't tell you these things because he wanted you to live a good life and not have too much pressure. Maybe you did something behind his back?"
Xia Anyan's face turned pale instantly.
She always knew that her background might harm Gu Shen, but she never imagined it would turn out this way.
She still believes that she did nothing wrong today and that the couple was innocent.
But thinking about it carefully, she is a military dependent. Why couldn't she have thought more about it before doing those things?
Xia Anyan lowered her head and did not continue to refute.
When Captain Gong saw her like this, he felt like he had punched a piece of cotton.
So Xia Anyan didn't refute him anymore, but her aggrieved expression made him feel like he was bullying an innocent woman.
Captain Gong took a deep breath: "Sister-in-law, I don't want this to happen again. If it does, I won't have so many concerns. I hope you understand."
After Captain Gong finished speaking, he left without considering anything else.
Xia Anyan stood there, lost in thought for a long time.
Looking at his granddaughter like this, Grandpa Xia felt a little bad, but he also felt that what happened today... really shouldn't have happened.
Ah Shen has already given and done a lot for his family.
If they cannot guarantee Gu Shen's safety, then they must absolutely filter out all possible dangers.
Xia Anyan tried her best to hold back her tears, but in the end she couldn't control them and they fell.
Grandpa Xia tugged at his granddaughter's hand: "You're such a big girl now, why are you crying?"
"Don't take what that brat said to heart. Even if Xiao Gu is here, we still have to do what we're supposed to do."
"But what happened today was really too risky. In the future, we must think things through carefully and take all the consequences into account before doing anything like that."
The grandfather and grandson talked outside for a while before returning to the guesthouse.
When Zhang Junan saw them return, he rushed to greet them.
His gaze swept back and forth between the two of them, and when he saw that Xia Anyan's eyes were a little red, he became a little anxious.
But the old man gave him a look, meaning he shouldn't ask any more questions.
After Xia Anyan returned to her room, Zhang Junan was then pulled back to his room by the old man.
"Dad, did that brat surnamed Gong bully Ayan?" Zhang Jun'an raised his fist, somewhat angry.
He wasn't stupid; of course he could see that Captain Gong disliked their Ayan.
Recently, that kid seems to have changed his mind. But why did he suddenly change his mind again? Could something have happened?
Zhang Junan didn't think about what happened today.
Even if he's very smart, there are still some things he doesn't think through clearly enough.
Grandpa Xia glanced at him and sighed.
He was actually a little conflicted, wondering whether he should tell Zhang Junan about what happened today.
But he seems to be stuck on this one point. If I don't explain it clearly, this kid will definitely overthink things and might even go directly to Captain Gong.
So the old man told him what had happened.
“Jun’an, it’s not that I don’t want you to do this, but I hope you can think it through before you do it.”
Zhang Junan felt his head buzzing.
How could he forget something so important?
He kept saying he would take good care of his daughter, but in the end, he was the one who harmed her.
“Father, I was wrong,” Zhang Junan knelt down on the ground with a thud. “I forgot about these things, which caused Ayan to be…”
"I'm telling you this not so you'll kneel and kowtow," Old Master Xia immediately rebuked, his face darkening.
"Get up from the ground right now. I don't want to see this happen again."
"As for what happened today, Ayan doesn't blame you, nor does she intend to do anything to you. As for the military, no one will know for the time being. You just need to understand that with our current status, there are some things we can do and some things we can't do."
Zhang Junan was scolded by the old man, but he still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"Dad, I'll go apologize to Ayan."
