Xu Xinghe knew those two people too well. Once they found out that she had faced Xu Mingli alone and even resorted to violence, they would definitely stop her from continuing to get involved in this matter, fearing that she would be in danger.
But this time, she wants to take revenge herself.
She sent Xu Mingli to a mental hospital because she was in a hurry to go to Heilongjiang Province to find Jiang Linchuan, and because at that time she was afraid to get her hands dirty and didn't want to get her hands dirty. So she could only take revenge on him by social death.
But she never expected that Xu Mingli would actually escape from the mental hospital, chase her all the way to Heilongjiang Province, and even kill someone.
She is now calmer and more confident than when she was first reborn.
The frostbite ointment she developed is about to go into mass production and can help soldiers on the border. The military already values her highly, so even if she did something to Xu Mingli, the military will only think that she is doing a good deed for the people and will not be too harsh on her.
With both old and new grudges combined, she's going to settle all scores this time!
Zhang Cishu glanced at her and nodded slightly, "Okay, I won't say anything."
He never questioned her decisions; he simply helped her get things done.
The two men, along with Xu Mingli and Lao Hei's men, returned to the bathhouse.
Xu Xinghe found Lao Hei and pointed to Xu Mingli, who was being held down on the ground, "Brother Hei, this man is in your hands now. Please keep a close eye on him personally. Make sure he doesn't get away and doesn't have any contact with anyone."
Old Hei glanced at the man on the ground, who looked like a dead dog. His shoulder was bleeding, his face was pale, and one of his legs was slightly lame. He was obviously useless and couldn't run far even if he wanted to.
He immediately patted his chest and assured her, "Miss Xu, don't worry! I'll lock him in the woodshed in the backyard and have two people guard him 24 hours a day. Even if he grows wings, he won't be able to fly away!"
Xu Xinghe nodded in relief, gave a few more instructions, and then left the bathhouse with Zhang Cishu.
When she passed by the supply and marketing cooperative, she remembered that her skirt was torn. Fearing that people would notice something was wrong when she returned to the military headquarters, she went in and bought a light blue cotton shirt and black trousers. She changed into them in the fitting room of the supply and marketing cooperative before taking a car back to the military headquarters with Zhang Cishu.
As the car drove into the military compound, the sun was slowly setting, casting golden rays across the courtyard, making everything appear peaceful and serene.
Xu Xinghe returned to her courtyard, pretending nothing had happened, and continued doing what she was doing.
Deal with Xu Mingli first, then deal with Feng Qiushi.
Regardless of whether she was forced to do it, she killed someone and should pay the price.
And that double, he not only protected the criminals, but also aided and abetted them, so he should also bear the responsibility.
Just then, familiar footsteps came from the courtyard gate.
Xu Xinghe looked up and saw Jiang Linchuan and Lian Xiao walk in. Lian Xiao was carrying a cloth bag with two bottles of fruit wine inside.
"I heard you went out?" Jiang Linchuan walked to her side, reached out and touched her hair, his tone gentle, "What did you do in town?"
"I didn't do anything, just strolled around with Cishu and bought an outfit. Look, it's the one I'm wearing." Xu Xinghe smiled and shook her head, naturally avoiding his gaze, afraid of revealing her thoughts.
Lian Xiao placed the fruit wine on the stone table. "Jiang Linchuan and I are going on a mission tomorrow and will probably be gone for a few days. I came here specifically to let you know and also to bring this fruit wine. You can try it when you have time."
Xu Xinghe was secretly delighted.
Are they going to carry out a mission?
This is simply God helping her!
In this way, she can focus on dealing with Xu Mingli and Feng Qiushi's affairs without worrying about being hindered by them.
But she didn't dare show it, only revealing just the right amount of concern on her face, "Is the mission dangerous? You must be careful and pay attention to safety."
"Don't worry, it's just going to a neighboring city to retrieve some information, it's not dangerous." Jiang Linchuan saw her worry, took her hand and squeezed it gently, "When we get back, we'll get our marriage certificate, and this time there definitely won't be any more problems."
Xu Xinghe nodded, but felt a pang of guilt in her heart because of his words.
She shouldn't have kept it from him, but some things she had to solve herself.
It's okay. By the time they come back, everything may have already ended.
At dinner, a few simple dishes were laid out on the table. The three of them sat around the stone table, and Lian Xiao opened a bottle of fruit wine and poured a glass for each of them.
The wine had a light fruity aroma and a sweet taste. Lian Xiao and Jiang Linchuan discussed the details of the mission, while Xu Xinghe occasionally chimed in.
After dinner, Jiang Linchuan and Lian Xiao got up and left.
Xu Xinghe escorted them to the courtyard gate, watching their figures disappear into the night before turning around and running back into the courtyard.
She moved a stool over, stood on it, and with her little head just high above the wall, shouted towards the neighboring yard, "Ci Shu! Jiang Linchuan and Lian Xiao have gone on a mission and won't be back for a few days!"
Hearing the noise, Zhang Cishu from the neighboring courtyard came out of his house, looked up at her, and the moonlight fell on his face. "I understand. Then let's go to town first thing tomorrow morning?"
"Okay!" Xu Xinghe nodded vigorously, "Let's go together tomorrow!"
Seeing her excited expression, Zhang Cishu smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I'll come and get you tomorrow."
Xu Xinghe jumped off the stool. "Then you should get some rest."
"The same to you."
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Xu Xinghe had already finished getting ready.
A soft knock came from the courtyard gate. When the door was opened, Zhang Cishu was already standing there, holding a cloth bag containing water and meat buns.
"Let's go, let's get there early and finish this quickly."
The two got into the jeep and drove towards the town.
There were few cars on the highway in the early morning, and the sunlight streamed in through the car windows, making it feel warm and cozy.
Xu Xinghe leaned back in the passenger seat, quietly watching the scenery outside.
They soon arrived at the bathhouse again, where Old Hei was already waiting at the door.
Upon seeing them, he immediately greeted them warmly, "Miss Xu, Mr. Zhang, you've finally arrived! I've prepared tea and snacks in the backyard, please come with me!"
The two followed Lao Hei into the backyard, where a pot of hot tea and several plates of snacks were indeed placed on the stone table, emitting a faint fragrance.
"Brother Hei, thank you for your trouble," Xu Xinghe said with a smile.
Old Hei waved his hand and asked in a low voice, "Should I bring him over now? That kid was very well-behaved last night and didn't dare to cause any trouble."
"No need." Xu Xinghe shook her head. "I'll go to the woodshed to see him myself. Cishu, you wait here."
Zhang Cishu immediately frowned, "It's too dangerous for you to go alone. I'll go with you."
"Don't worry." Xu Xinghe looked at him and patted her chest confidently. "I didn't let him hurt me in that cramped place like the cellar. Now that he's tied up, there's even less chance he could do anything to me. You wait here, I'll call you if anything happens."
