Chapter 3 Child Marriage Engagement
Xu Nuo raised her head with difficulty and saw a young soldier standing in front of her. He had steady eyes and a calm expression. The military uniforms of this era were different from those of the 21st century, and she could not tell his rank.
However, the aura emanating from his body gave people a strong sense of oppression.
The moment she saw the man, her eyes lit up instantly. She was about to go to the military compound to look for someone, and a soldier was standing in front of her.
Wouldn't it be easier if I asked him?
"Did you steal something?" The man asked without waiting for Xu Nuo to inquire.
"No." Xu Nuo immediately denied, "I'm not a thief! They wronged me! But, soldier comrade, do you know Lu Huaizheng?"
Hearing this name, Lu Chen's eyes changed slightly: "What do you want to do with him?"
Seeing that he didn't deny it, Xu Nuo said, "So we know each other? Can I trouble you to give me a ride? I need to see him for something!"
She answered this, but it seemed like she didn't answer.
Lu Chen didn't say anything, but just lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Nuo.
She had two long, shiny black braids. From her gray-blue clothes full of patches and her open-toed cloth shoes, it was clear that she was from the countryside.
But when she answered the questions, her voice was clear and her expression was calm, without any trace of timidity or discomfort.
When the two people's eyes met in the air, she did not lower her head or blush in embarrassment. Instead, her clear and bright eyes blinked, as if she was thinking about something in her mind.
Seeing that Lu Chen had been staring at her without saying anything, Xu Nuo knew that if she didn't tell him the reason, the other party might not necessarily help her.
She was very alert, but the soldier in front of her seemed even more alert.
"My name is Xu Nuo. I live in Beijing. I came here to live with my fiancé. He lives in the military compound. His father's name is Lu Huaizheng, and his name is Lu Cheng."
She simply told him everything.
When Lu Chen heard the name Xu Nuo, there was a slight change in the expression on his calm face.
When he heard that Xu Nuo was going to the military compound to find her fiancé, he couldn't help but frown.
He finally understood why he felt that the woman looked familiar just now.
A few days ago, he returned to the military area on leave and found a strange woman in his house, holding a marriage contract signed more than ten years ago, saying that she had been engaged to the Lu family since she was a child, and now that she was eighteen years old, she came to get married.
The woman who suddenly appeared out of nowhere caught the whole family off guard. The house has been in chaos and noisy these days.
This matter hasn't been settled yet, and now there's another woman who wants to marry into the Lu family?
"Xiao Wei, let her go first."
"Yes, Captain."
Oh? So he's the group leader, so his rank is pretty high, right?
Xu Nuo silently remembered it in her heart. She rubbed her arm that was twisted so hard that it hurt, and introduced herself: "Comrade Commander, I have said everything I should say. I wonder if you can do me a favor?"
Lu Chen pursed his lips and decided to finish the current matter first.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the staff arrived breathlessly, thanked Lu Chen again and again, and was about to take Xu Nuo away.
"Is she a thief? What did she steal?" Lu Chen asked.
The two staff members looked at each other and said embarrassedly: "Actually, she is not a thief! But she just overturned our fruit stall and ran away! We came here to ask her for compensation!"
Lu Chen shifted his gaze to Xu Nuo.
"Didn't I tell you to go ask that mother and son for money? The money is all on them!"
As they were talking, the mother and son were also escorted over by the station staff. The old lady happened to hear it and immediately became excited: "I don't know her, why should I pay compensation?"
"She said she's your daughter-in-law!"
"She's talking nonsense!"
Xu Nuo saw the suspicion in Lu Chen's eyes when he looked at her, so she explained, "I did lie just now. These two people are not my mother-in-law and husband. They are human traffickers! They wanted to kidnap me, so I had no choice but to do this in a hurry."
Lu Chen had to admit that she used this trick brilliantly.
"This..." The station staff was in a dilemma, "What should we do? How about sending him to the police station?"
Xu Nuo waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I don't have time to go to the police station, I have to go find my fiancé."
"You said you were looking for your fiancé, do you have any credentials with you?" Lu Chen asked.
Xu Nuo sighed, "No. A week ago, my cousin Xu Shan snatched something from me and came to Beijing with a marriage contract. If all goes well, she would have been in the Lu family now, impersonating me and marrying Lu Cheng."
What she said was almost certain. If it was true, he couldn't just sit there and watch.
Lu Chen nodded slightly: "Let's go, I'll go to the police station with you."
"Captain, are we still going to pick them up?" Xiao Wei asked hurriedly.
Lu Chen lowered his head and glanced at his watch again: "If he can't see anyone, he will leave on his own."
Xiao Wei obeyed the order, opened the car door, got into the driver's seat and started the car. He looked up and saw Captain Lu personally opening the back door and making a gesture of invitation.
Xu Nuo thanked him politely and got into the car. She moved to the back and left a seat for Lu Chen.
Lu Chen closed the car door, walked around to the front passenger seat, opened the door and sat in.
The car started slowly.
Xu Nuo held his chin and looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, wondering what was going on in his head.
Soon they arrived at the police station. Xu Nuo got off the car and cooperated with the police and explained the whole story in detail.
The public security comrades soon discovered that these two people were the habitual criminals they had been looking for. This mother and son had been active for more than two years and had been involved in the trafficking of women and children.
This time on the road, I also saw Xu Nuo, a girl from the countryside who had never seen the world. Moreover, she was so beautiful, so I wanted to sell her for a high price.
But they didn't expect that she was quite smart and actually tricked them.
This time I’m completely screwed!
Now that the matter has been clarified, the human traffickers will be sentenced accordingly, but they still have to compensate for the fruits.
Xu Nuo took out all the money he had and paid the compensation honestly.
Actually, I still feel a little regretful!
This pair of idiot bastards wanted to cheat them but failed.
When she was thinking about these things, the expression on her face was so wonderful that Lu Chen couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Things went smoothly at the police station, and it was completely dark when I came out of the station.
Xu Nuo got into Lu Chen's car again and followed him to the military compound.
Lu family.
Aunt Lin, the family's nanny, had already cooked the meal and was waiting for Lu Chen to come back.
Before the meal, the Lu family gathered together to discuss the engagement between Lu Cheng and Xu Nuo.
At this moment, Lu Cheng was sitting on the sofa with his arms and legs stretched out, his eyebrows tightly furrowed and a hint of disgust in his eyes. Due to the presence of his father Lu Huaizheng, he tried hard to suppress himself.
Xu Shan was sitting opposite him, wearing a floral shirt, black trousers, two pigtails hanging down in front of her chest, and the two red spots on her face from the wind and sun were particularly eye-catching.
Facing the handsome Lu Cheng, she didn't dare to look up at all, but she would look up every now and then to secretly glance at him.
This action is so petty that it even looks a bit "obscene" and "sly".
