"You...you knew all along, you were just playing me!"
Chen Ting pointed at Gu Chengfeng, her teeth almost grinding to powder.
Gu Chengfeng's face was as cold as ice, and veins bulged on his handsome face. His hidden anger suddenly erupted: "Didn't you trick me first?"
"I……"
Chen Ting choked on her words: "I was... I was worried about Sisi, afraid she would be deceived."
"Is that so?" Gu Chengfeng's eyes flashed with a chilling coldness: "If you really care about her, why don't you just grab her and find someone nearby to help her, instead of going to such lengths to send someone to the military camp to deliver a message?"
What are your intentions?
Chen Ting's little scheme was exposed in public, and her face turned red and white, making her look extremely ugly.
Shen Sisi rarely saw Gu Chengfeng directly confront someone, so she quietly tugged at his sleeve: "What's going on between you two?"
Gu Chengfeng sneered, "You'll have to ask your cousin, Chen Ting, about that."
He lowered his voice: "Chen Ting, shall you say it yourself, or shall I say it?"
His voice was cold, sharp, and terrifying, crashing into her ears like thunder.
Chen Ting felt a chill run down her spine: "I'll talk, I'll talk..."
She walked quickly to Shen Sisi and tried to take her hand, but Shen Sisi dodged it.
"Just get to the point, why are you pulling me along?"
Chen Ting smiled awkwardly: "Actually, it's all a misunderstanding!"
Chen Sisi groaned, "Misunderstanding? Does a misunderstanding allow you to call someone a gigolo in public?"
"Here's the thing, I was shopping just now and I saw you walking with a man. I was worried that you had encountered a scammer, so... so I sent someone to inform my brother-in-law."
As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Yanzhou burst out laughing: "Are you being so kind?"
"If we really run into bad guys, by the time we deliver the message, it'll be too late!"
"You're really playing dumb with me, aren't you!"
"In my opinion, you deliberately notified Old Gu to come and arrest people!"
"Sima Zhao's intentions are obvious to everyone..."
Feng Yanzhou could never bring himself to use such a vulgar term as "catching someone in the act of adultery," but the meaning was pretty much there.
We're all adults; who wouldn't guess what Chen Ting was thinking?
The onlookers looked at Chen Ting with disdain; what a scoundrel she was, harming even her own cousin…
Zhou Ying, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up for Shen Sisi: "You're supposed to be Sisi's cousin, how can your thoughts be so filthy? She's walking down the street in broad daylight, and you're gossiping about her. What kind of person are you..."
Feng Yanzhou, chin in hand, said, "Exactly. As the saying goes, if a person's heart is dirty, everything they see is dirty. Don't you all agree?"
"That's right, that's right."
"This woman is so scheming!"
People pointed and whispered about Chen Ting, making her face turn even redder. She glared resentfully at Chen Sisi and her husband.
Damn it, we actually fell for their trick!
Especially Gu Chengfeng, it turns out he wasn't just a fool who picks up used goods... he's actually quite cunning.
She was indignant, her chest puffed out, and she said righteously, "How can this be entirely my fault? If my brother-in-law trusted you enough, why would he have come?"
That's true.
Chen Sisi turned to look at Gu Chengfeng, waiting for his explanation.
Gu Chengfeng seemed to have expected Chen Ting to say that, and took out the note from his pocket: "You said my wife was in danger, so of course I had to come and see."
Chen Sisi took it and looked at it; it was written in black and white on the paper, and it really was true.
She was so angry she almost threw the note at Chen Ting's face.
"So this is how 'concerned' you are? Then let me ask you, what did Political Commissar Feng do to me? How am I in danger?"
"He...he..." Chen Ting stammered for a long time, unable to get the words out.
Feng Yanzhou was also displeased at this point. He walked up to Chen Ting with a serious expression and said, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly. I am a legitimate soldier. I have served on the front lines and guarded the border. I have military merits. You think I'm some gigolo who abducts women just because you open and close your mouth? If you don't explain things clearly today, I'm not done with you!"
Chen Ting thought he was just a new recruit, but who knew he was actually the political commissar with military merits? Now she was doomed.
"I...I don't know either. If I knew, I wouldn't dare..."
Feng Yanzhou glanced at him and said, "You wouldn't dare, but you're far too daring..."
Chen Sisi retorted angrily, "You dare to lie to Political Commissar Feng when he was wearing a military overcoat and a military cap, let alone ordinary people."
"Do you know that words can kill?"
Back then, her father was killed by those rumors and gossip, and his name has never been cleared.
In that particular environment, some people could kill someone at will simply by talking.
The same applies now.
Fortunately, her relationship with Feng Yanzhou was aboveboard, and Gu Chengfeng genuinely trusted them.
Otherwise, she would have been in real trouble today.
"Chen Ting, I can't be bothered to make a fuss about the bullying you did before, but today you insulted a respectable soldier, and everyone here is a witness... You're finished!"
This matter involves Political Commissar Feng, and Shen Sisi will absolutely not protect her or let her off the hook.
She was adamant that Feng Yanzhou and Gu Chengfeng should handle the matter impartially and not take her into consideration.
Chen Ting scoffed, "Who are you trying to scare? It's just a few words, there's no need to make such a big deal out of it! At worst, I'll apologize to this political commissar."
Feng Yanzhou sneered, "Big sister, this isn't as simple as an apology..."
"What else can we do? Besides, you haven't lost anything..."
At this moment, Gu Chengfeng, who had been silent all along, suddenly narrowed his eyes and a cruel smile appeared on his lips.
