The play is not complicated; in fact, one could say it's too superficial, too exaggerated, too artificial, and too fake.
When the two of them were saying those words, Jian Dan felt a toothache and goosebumps all over her body. She wasn't a professionally trained actress. Fortunately, people at that time rarely had the opportunity to watch a show, especially since most of the people sent to follow them were low-level thugs. They probably didn't expect that the couple was putting on a show for them.
But it's hard to say who's behind them. The higher the position, the more they think, especially since their people have just been arrested. No matter how secretive they are, it's hard to guarantee they won't discover anything amiss.
Cheng Chao and his two companions genuinely wanted to resolve the issue, naturally hoping to uncover as many clues as possible. Even if they couldn't completely eliminate the person, it would be best to have a clear understanding of the situation. This person was someone who was keeping an eye on them, and keeping them around would be a potential threat sooner or later. At the very least, they wanted to take precautions and find the right person to deal with it.
They were simple-minded and didn't think too much about it. They said they came to the capital to resolve the matter, but in a situation where they didn't even know who their opponent was, how could they possibly find out by bravely barging in like this?
That would be truly disrespectful to the enemy.
Therefore, she wanted to muddy the waters and let them make a mess of things themselves, so that they would have no time to scheme against her.
As for anything else, she really didn't want to. She never underestimated anyone and knew her own worth. If it were a one-on-one fight, she could say she was fearless against anyone. But facing someone of such high status and power, or even a group of people, she had family, a lover, and children, and she didn't want to cause that trouble.
However, since the other party has already set their sights on her, she can't just quietly accept this situation.
She can't do much in big matters, and it might not be easy for her to suffer serious injuries, but this incident shows what the other party cares about. So, you can't blame her for bleeding out and taking a piece of flesh from the other party.
The smile was eerily sinister, sending chills down Qin Qinghuai's spine.
"Wife, are you up to something again? Aren't you going to wait a little longer?"
"We'll have to wait. By the time they arrive, they should have found the other party's whereabouts. We can't let the innocent get hurt, can we?"
These words sounded more like those of a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the martial arts world) figure seeking revenge, making Qin Qinghuai grin.
"You're quite the righteous one?"
"Whether someone is loyal or not depends on who they're dealing with. Besides, the situation isn't even certain yet. Once we figure out their background, hehe!"
Simply rub your hands together.
"You think they're not ordinary people? They must have quite a few good things, right?"
Seeing a hint of disapproval in Qin Qinghuai's eyes, she quickly waved her hand to interrupt.
"Never mind what I said. None of you can be involved with any of these identities. If someone really sees you, it will be hard to explain. I'm thinking of a way to get an alibi, so even if they suspect something, they can't say anything."
"no,"
Qin Qinghuai was speechless and a little sad.
"How could you think of me like that? I told you, as long as it's not about betraying the country or the army, I will support you. Don't you believe me?"
"Well,"
Jian Dan hadn't expected him to bring this up at this point, and gave a dry laugh.
"No, no, that's not what I meant. It's just that these kinds of things, whether done or talked about, are somewhat shady, you guys,"
He paused briefly, his expression shifting from its previous indifference and nonchalance to a more serious one.
Since you wear these uniforms and bear this responsibility, you have the duty and obligation to protect this glorious and sacred honor. There's no need to tarnish it with such low-class tricks.”
"you?"
They were chatting about everyday things when the conversation suddenly escalated to a political and honor-related level. Qin Qinghuai's expression turned serious. To be honest, he hadn't expected Jian Dan's sudden turn of events.
She simply smiled. She loves to play and make a fuss, and sometimes she really is rebellious and unrestrained. But she's not stupid. Now that her whole family works in the system, even if she's willful, she still has to consider the consequences.
Everything has two sides. She is confident in her skills and can ensure that she will not be discovered by others, but she is not arrogant and does not think that she is invincible just because she has a space. Who knows if there are two capable people hiding in some corner?
She couldn't gamble on that possibility. Now there was a little one, a tiny person with whom she shared a simple bloodline, which made her have to consider things more carefully.
"Moreover, putting aside this person's personal motives, the fact that he can sit firmly in a high position now shows that he is a true meritorious person. From an official perspective, such a person is worthy of admiration."
No matter how immature, unreasonable, or angry I am, I can take advantage of being a girl, my young age, and my anger at having just heard the news to vent my anger in a small way, make a fuss, and show my attitude. But if I really do anything more serious, then I am in the wrong.
After all, the interrogation results so far show that they were ordered to search for traces of the Su family, and did not intend to harm anyone. They also did not give any strong orders to find my uncle. So, as for direct harm to me, at least so far, there really hasn't been any.
Even if I'm angry or unhappy, I have to admit it.
While it's true that the first to strike gains the upper hand and the last to strike suffers, if we strike first and injure someone, we'll be at a disadvantage.
Qin Qinghuai stared intently, his heart filled with shock, bittersweetness, and heartache, all intertwined. At first, he was captivated by his wife's striking beauty; later, as they spent more time together, he realized she was different from ordinary girls, yet time and again she always surprised him with such delight.
"Wife, I didn't expect you to think so much. I still hope you can live a more carefree life."
When you lived alone, you were carefree. There's no reason why, after getting married, you should have to worry about this and that and suffer because of me.
Jian Dan is the type who responds better to gentle persuasion than force. If Qin Qinghuai were to praise her for her high level of awareness right now, she might even make a sarcastic remark.
But Qin Qinghuai was moved and saddened, and after saying a few sentimental words, she lost her bearings, and her words softened even more.
"I didn't suffer any injustice, it's just that times have changed!"
At that time, I was dealing with people from the village, or at most the commune. There weren't any major issues. My biggest task was to go to work and go up the mountain.
But the situation is different now.
"Do the right thing at the right time. Marriage is for living life together. In our family, my parents are open-minded, and the children are sensible. Compared to other families with their mundane affairs, we're already very well-off. Although not many people go up the mountain, I can still find things I enjoy doing. You,"
He paused for a moment, then smiled simply.
"Needless to say, you've kept your promises made before marriage every single day. No one could find fault with you. Tell me, what grievances could I possibly have?"
