Chapter 162 The country is important, and you are important too

After hearing his words, Lu was startled and frowned suddenly. Without hesitation, he replied in a deep voice:

"No need." Then he looked at the policeman opposite and reminded:

"You don't have to mention these words to my wife."

From his attitude, the policeman seemed to understand something, smiled and nodded, and said:

"Okay, okay, we understand."

After taking the statement, the policeman let the three go home, saying that they would contact them again if there was any situation.

When the few people left, the comrades at the police station revealed that Wang Mingfang and Lu Lidong were bound to be sentenced, and the situation of He Shanshan and Liao Qiang had to be investigated in detail before being dealt with.

＊

It was around six o'clock when everyone returned home. Yao Hongmei was in a particularly good mood and went straight to the kitchen to cook for everyone. Xia Qingxi and Lu Jingyi went back to their room.

All the truth had been revealed, and the bad guys would receive the punishment they deserved. Xia Qingxi had now given an explanation to her original self. Thinking that she would no longer have to endure other people's contempt and comments, Xia Qingxi felt relieved from head to toe.

Looking at the unfinished clothes on the sewing machine, Xia Qingxi hesitated for a moment, walked over, and prepared to finish them.

At this time, Lu Jingchen, who had been sitting on the side without saying anything, suddenly asked:

"You knew what happened today."

When Xia Qingli went out with him in the morning, she said that she would come back early in the afternoon because she had something important to do. Moreover, after they returned home and heard what happened to He Shanshan and Liao Qiang, Xia Qingli did not show any surprise, and was even very calm. Later, Xin Pandi's family came to the door, and Yao Hongmei came with the comrades of the inspection team. How could everything be so coincidental?

The only explanation is: Xia Qingli knew all this, and to be precise, she was controlling everything.

Xia Qingxi did not stop her work after hearing Lu Jingxie's question. She laid the cut fabric flat on the sewing machine, then slowly pushed it forward, stepped on the pedal up and down, and answered very frankly in the sound of the sewing machine:

"Well, my sister-in-law and I discussed it in advance."

She did not want to hide anything from him. After all, Lu Jingxie was so smart that she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to, so why bother.

However, after admitting it, Xia Qingxi was actually unsure in her heart. She didn't know what Lu Jingxie's attitude would be after hearing what she said, so she didn't stop her work, so she didn't have to face him and talk unnaturally.

After listening to Xia Qingxi's words, Lu Jingxie did not show any strangeness, and continued to ask in a deep voice:

"Did you also inform Xin Pandi's parents?"

"Yes, I saw her in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital last time, and I knew she was pregnant, so I drew her portrait, asked about her hometown address, called her parents yesterday, and told them the address." Xia Qingxi answered in detail.

As soon as the words fell, Lu Jingxie uttered a few words in a low voice:

"Very smart."

The cloth that Xia Qingxi pushed up suddenly deviated to the side, and the clothes were tucked crookedly.

She was not sure for a moment whether Lu Jingxie was praising herself or mocking herself.

Lu Jingzhen really thought she was very smart, almost as smart as the scouts in his regiment.

The last time he and Captain Liu ran into her outside, she was holding a portrait in her hand and told him that she was shopping with her colleagues. At that time, she must have gone to look for clues about Xin Pandi.

When Xia Qingying came to her senses, she found that the thread on the fabric was crooked. She took the fabric out of the sewing machine and used scissors to remove the thread on the clothes while calmly saying,

"They did something wrong and should be punished. I don't think there is anything wrong with me fighting back against them."

Xia Qingying didn't know if Lu Jingchen's words just now were blaming her, but she never regretted what she had done from beginning to end.

She was not a saint, nor a little white flower. If someone framed her, she would naturally not sit and wait for death. Not only would she fight back, but she would also fight back. This was her character. Since Lu Jingchen asked about it now, she simply told him the truth.

This was the first time that Xia Qingxiang showed her strong side in front of Lu Jingchen. She was totally different from the timid person she was four years ago, nor was she as weak as she had shown recently. Instead, Lu Jingchen felt her more lively and courageous. He couldn't help but nod and said,

"Yeah, well done."

Xia Qingxiang had already untied the crooked thread. After hearing what Lu Jingchen said, she looked up at him unconsciously, wanting to confirm whether he was really praising herself or had other intentions.

However, Lu Jingchen looked calm, without too many emotions. Just as she was observing him, she suddenly heard him ask herself,

"When did you know about their plan?"

Xia Qingli naturally would not tell him that she had inferred it based on the plot of the original book. Now her relationship with Lu Jingchen had not reached the point where they could tell each other everything. Naturally, she could not tell him that she had traveled through time. After thinking about it, she found a reason that sounded reasonable and replied,

"He Shanshan wanted to join our textile factory, and Wang Mingfang originally planned to use me to help her get this job..."

"Use you to exchange?" Lu Jingchen, who had not reacted much just now, suddenly interrupted her and asked in a raised voice.

Xia Qingxi put the unstitched fabric back under the sewing machine and began to sew, explaining to him:

"Well, she wanted to put me in Liao Qiang's bed again like she did four years ago, but then you came back and she didn't dare to act rashly. Then Yao Hongmei had a miscarriage and couldn't have children anymore, and Lu Lidong had another woman outside, so she changed her target to Yao Hongmei."

"This bitch!" Lu growled in shock.

His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and his eyes were full of anger, which was even greater than his reaction when he heard Xia Qingxi admit that she and Yao Hongmei had conspired to plot against Lu Lidong and the others.

After a long while, Lu Jingchen's anger finally subsided. He looked at Xia Qingxing and asked in a deep voice:

"Since you already knew their plan, why didn't you tell me?"

Xia Qingxing pushed the fabric forward, and this time the line was straight and correct. She said firmly and sincerely:

"I can solve it myself."

Does this mean that she doesn't need me? Lu Jingchen frowned unconsciously, but the next second he heard the person opposite him say in a cautious tone:

"I don't want you to get involved in this kind of dirty thing. You should think about your motherland and care about national affairs in your heart."

After hearing her words, Lu Jingchen's eyes were filled with surprise, and he could not help but turn his head to look at her:

he saw the orange light, wrapping her, her small oval face, drooping eyelids, and her long eyelashes catching a piece of light and shadow. She looked so gentle and beautiful.

The beautiful mountains and rivers are what he wants to protect, but the person in front of him is also what he wants to protect.

Lu Jingchen opened his thin lips slightly, and a deep voice sounded immediately:

"The country is important, and you are important too."
