Chapter 12 Meeting Jiang Ruoxi
As soon as Lu Tingxiao finished his work, he thought about going to see Jiang Ruoxi. On the way to Jiang Ruoxi's house, he saw Jiang Ruoxi turning into a dead end, with four or five gangster-like men following behind her stealthily. Lu Tingxiao's heart tightened, thinking that someone was going to harm Jiang Ruoxi, so he quietly followed the gangsters.
Jiang Ruoxi was seen standing at the end of the alley, with her arms folded across her chest, looking at the thugs in front of her with cold eyes.
"Hey, little girl, come and play with your brother!" One of the thugs walked towards Jiang Ruoxi with a mouthful of yellow teeth bared.
Jiang Ruoxi frowned slightly and looked at him and asked, "Who asked you to come?"
"No one asked us to come. We have seen you many times on this street. You always carried a lot of bags and rolls. We are out of money, so we want to borrow some from you. If you know what's good for you, hand over the money you have. Otherwise, you can just play with us!" said the gangster shamelessly.
Jiang Ruoxi raised her chin slightly, her eyes revealing undisguised contempt and disdain. She opened her red lips and uttered three words coldly: "Just you guys?" The tone seemed to be mocking the other party for overestimating their own abilities, as if her contempt for them had reached the extreme. These three simple words spoken from her mouth carried an invisible pressure that made people feel chilled.
The gangster shuddered slightly and said stubbornly, "You bitch, you are shameless. Brothers, come together, let's catch this bitch and sell her off. Let's see if she can still act crazy."
After the gangster finished speaking, he pounced towards Jiang Ruoxi. Jiang Ruoxi dodged easily by turning sideways and kicked him on the butt. The gangster fell flat on his face. Seeing this, the other thugs rushed forward, but Jiang Ruoxi did not panic at all. She took out a stick from somewhere and beat them up in a few strokes, making them fall to the ground and cry for their parents.
Jiang Ruoxi said as she beat him, "You are idle all day long, and you are always causing trouble for others. Didn't your parents teach you to behave properly and not cause trouble for others? Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents. Are you bored all day long? You are always causing trouble and you are always worrying about it. Do you dare to do it again?"
Lu Tingxiao was standing at the side of the alley, dumbfounded and filled with astonishment! Seeing Jiang Ruoxi beating the thugs until they screamed like ghosts and howled like wolves, and constantly educating them while beating them, Lu Tingxiao decided not to go to the rescue, but leaned against the wall at the entrance of the alley to watch the fun.
After the thugs ran away in shame, he slowly walked forward. Jiang Ruoxi turned around and saw him, and was slightly stunned. Lu Tingxiao smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so capable. I was so worried just now that I was about to be a hero and save the girl."
Jiang Ruoxi raised her eyebrows, "Then why don't you save him?"
"You've already dealt with them before I could even save them. I didn't know my little Ruoxi likes to educate people while doing it. She looks so full of energy!" Lu Tingxiao said lovingly.
"Brother Lu, don't you think I'm violent?" Jiang Ruoxi asked, looking up.
"What's wrong with you being violent? You didn't hit me. What does your violence have to do with me when you hit others?" Lu Tingxiao said with an attitude that it didn't matter to him whether someone else got beaten or not.
"Brother Lu, I realize you are such a dog!" Jiang Ruoxi gave Lu Tingxiao a thumbs up.
Lu Tingxiao laughed, and then the two of them walked home side by side. As they walked, Lu Tingxiao's expression became serious. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Ruoxi, I have found out some things about your life experience."
Jiang Ruoxi looked at him in surprise, "My background? Brother Lu, what do you know?" Lu Tingxiao took a deep breath and said slowly, "During the political review, the organization discovered that your background was unusual. Because the review of military marriages is very strict, the organization is afraid that there will be spies infiltrating the troops, so they found out that your background was unusual and conducted an in-depth investigation. At first, I also applied to be investigated together, but the organization said that you were my fiancée and I needed to avoid suspicion, so I didn't participate!"
Lu Tingxiao continued, "Who would have thought that at the last moment of the investigation, although they ruled out your identity as a spy, they found that you might be the daughter of the head of the Beijing Military Region who had gone missing 17 years ago. The organization took this matter very seriously, so they seconded me to the National Security Bureau to assist in the investigation. During the investigation, we arrested Jiang Daguo, your adoptive father, who was suspected of tampering with evidence. We followed Jiang Daguo's lead and arrested the middleman who stole you and the mastermind behind the incident!"
"The mastermind behind this is your biological father's division commander, Zhao Bingquan. He and your father were both deputy regiment commanders back then, and there happened to be a vacancy for promotion. Because your father's missions were dangerous and difficult, and your father had completed them brilliantly, Zhao Bingquan looked much inferior in comparison to your father, so the organization gave the promotion vacancy to your father. Zhao Bingquan therefore became resentful and jealous of your father, and just when you were born, he found someone to steal you away and let Jiang Daguo adopt you. All your sufferings are because of him!"
"You stole me away just because of jealousy?" Jiang Ruoxi said in disbelief.
"Yes, jealousy can make a person unrecognizable. Fortunately, the matter has been investigated and all your suffering is over. After everything is settled in a couple of days, I will contact your biological parents. I heard that they have been looking for you for 17 years. You have two older brothers. You are the daughter they have been looking forward to for many years!" Lu Tingxiao said with emotion.
"So, I'm not a child abandoned by my parents. I also have a family who loves me, right?" Jiang Ruoxi asked uncertainly.
"Yes, my Ruoxi is also a child who is loved by others. You will have more people who love you in the future. I will arrange for you to meet your family in the next few days!" Lu Tingxiao said to Jiang Ruoxi with pity.
"Okay!" Jiang Ruoxi replied.
The two looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths rose slightly at the same time, revealing a knowing smile. At this moment, the blood-gorgeous sunset gradually sank to the west, casting out its last rays of light. The golden light was like a layer of soft gauze, gently covering the earth, and also shrouding the figures of the man and woman with a dreamy glow.
As the sun gradually set, their shadows gradually lengthened, as if extending to the horizon. The two slender figures appeared particularly clear and eye-catching in the afterglow. They are intertwined and snuggled together, like a pair of close partners, bathing in this beautiful evening moment together. The breeze blew gently, blowing their hair and clothes, adding a touch of poetry and romance to this moment.
