Chapter 15 A Village Girl in the 1970s
When the group arrived at the police station, Xie Jingyue, who had been keeping his eyes fixed straight ahead, finally looked at Yao Yunzhen and whispered:
"Wait here for a moment, I'll take them in."
Xie Jingyue didn't realize that his expression was incredibly gentle at that moment. If his comrades had seen it, they would probably have thought they were seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
Yao Yunzhen asked in confusion, "Don't we need to go in?"
Xie Jingyue shook his head: "No need."
This person did not actually commit robbery, nor did he cause any harm to Yao Yunzhen. She cannot be considered the victim. If this person is punished according to this case, he will at most receive a reprimand, which is not serious.
More importantly, Yao Yunzhen was too dazzling at the moment, and he subconsciously didn't want her to be exposed to others.
“This guy looks like a repeat offender. He must have other cases on his record. I have an old comrade-in-arms who has retired from the army and is now working here. I will ask him to investigate this guy thoroughly. You don’t need to get involved.”
Not only that, he also had to ask his old comrade-in-arms to investigate carefully who was behind the scheme.
Today's events were suspicious. Without much thought, Xie Jingyue knew that this person's actions had ulterior motives. Coupled with Yao Yunzhen's beautiful appearance, it was likely that someone was targeting him.
Thinking of this, Xie Jingyue's heart sank, and his chest felt extremely tight.
In that instant, he desperately wanted to personally investigate the matter thoroughly and nip all dangers in the bud.
But his duty as a soldier told him he couldn't.
He came to Anyuan County on a mission; his comrades were waiting for him, and he couldn't delay too long.
Yao Yunzhen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
If she could, she really wouldn't want to go to the police station.
Like everyone else in the village, she always felt a sense of awe and tension when facing the police.
Xie Jingyue didn't waste much time and quickly came out.
"Alright, I've already explained everything. Don't worry, they will severely punish every bad guy."
Yao Yunzhen said gratefully, "Thank you so much for everything today."
The two stood face to face, and Xie Jingyue could see his own reflection clearly in the other's clear eyes.
For no apparent reason, Xie Jingyue felt a surge of excitement, his heart pounding with emotion.
He coughed lightly, feigning calmness.
"You're welcome, it's what I should do."
"If you encounter any problems in the future, you can find the deputy director here, Tian Pingjiang. He is my old comrade-in-arms. I have already spoken to him. You can contact him if you need anything."
He couldn't protect her all the time, so he had to ask someone else for help for the time being.
Once his mission is over, then...
A certain thought was about to emerge, but Xie Jingyue dared not think about it any further and quickly stopped his thoughts.
Now is not the time to think about these things. This mission is extremely dangerous, and he should focus all his energy on it.
If he survives this mission, then he will...
Yao Yunzhen was surprised by how considerate the other party was.
In just a few minutes, she had managed to establish a relationship with the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau.
Their family may not necessarily use this connection, but it is still a source of support.
Don't underestimate this connection; it's still very useful in rural areas.
"Should I go in and say hello?"
Xie Jingyue paused for a moment, then said, "Next time. He's a bit busy right now. If you need to talk to him later, just mention my name. My name is Xie Jingyue."
Yao Yunzhen was a little disappointed, but still smiled and said, "Alright then, thank you so much this time. How about I treat you to dinner?"
As soon as she said it, Yao Yunzhen realized it was inappropriate.
She had money, but no tickets.
Is it too late to find someone to exchange it now?
Or perhaps I could run faster in the wind, go home, and borrow the grain coupons my aunt had left behind?
Before Yao Yunzhen could even consider it, Xie Jingyue refused.
"No need to trouble yourself, it's my duty."
Yao Yunzhen's smile was too dazzling, and it made him lose his senses again. It took him a great deal of willpower to regain his senses.
Before Yao Yunzhen could say anything more, he quickly said, "I see you're in a bit of an inconvenience, let me take you home first."
Because she was talking, Yao Yunzhen no longer covered her face with her sleeve, and many passersby had already noticed her.
A fleeting hint of displeasure crossed Xie Jingyue's eyes as he saw those people staring wide-eyed.
He moved to Yao Yunzhen's side, blocking all the gazes that were directed at them.
As soon as he moved, Yao Yunzhen noticed something was wrong.
In this situation, it's really not suitable for her to stay outside any longer; she should go home first.
Yu Feng and Yu Wen also walked sensibly on the other side of Yao Yunzhen.
Trusting Xie Jingyue's clothes and his earlier help, Yao Yunzhen felt quite at ease with him.
Xie Jingyue, however, felt a sense of unease.
He's too trusting. If he has the chance in the future, he should definitely teach people about safety.
Soon, Yao Yunzhen and the others arrived downstairs.
"Thank you for bringing me back. Would you like to come up for a glass of water, comrade?"
"No need, I'm not thirsty, I'll just take you this far."
Xie Jingyue wanted to go up and familiarize himself with the place, but he had already wasted too much time and couldn't delay any longer, so he had to reluctantly decline.
"Alright then, I'll go up first."
Yao Yunzhen had been covering her face with her hands the whole way, and her hands were already sore. She had no time for small talk and just wanted to get home as soon as possible to relax her hands.
"goodbye."
Xie Jingyue nodded slightly and watched the three of them go upstairs.
Only when he could no longer hear the faint footsteps in the hallway did he prepare to turn and leave.
Wait, he seems to have forgotten to ask her name.
Throughout the journey, all his thoughts were focused on the person beside him, his thinking ability came to a standstill, and he even forgot to ask her name.
Xie Jingyue was extremely annoyed.
It's okay. At least he now knows where the other person lives, so there's a chance they'll get to know each other in the future.
Xie Jingyue comforted himself, turned his head to look at the direction of the corridor again, and then left with his head down.
When Yao Yunzhen got home, she slumped into a chair and said in a drawn-out voice, "My hands are so sore."
Yu Feng and Yu Wen immediately fawned over him.
"Come on, cousin, let us massage you."
The two had barely spoken a word before, but now they were lively again.
The man's aura was too strong, and Yu Feng and Yu Feng were like small animals encountering their natural enemy, so they subconsciously remained silent.
Xie Jingyue maintained a very gentle attitude throughout, but his main focus was on Yao Yunzhen, though he was not actually a gentle person.
In the military, he was known for his ruthlessness and harsh methods, and many of his soldiers held him in great awe.
Even when he tries to restrain himself, he will occasionally inadvertently reveal his fierce aura.
