Chapter 47: Wife, your button is unbuttoned
"This is not a coincidence, someone is setting it up!"
Ruan Anan opened the lid of the box with swift movements.
The scene in the box really confirmed her guess—
There were a few old submachine guns lying scattered here and there, with very few magazines, barely filling up half the bottom of the box.
"This is just a piece of junk." Ruan Anan squatted down and fiddled with the cold gun barrel with his fingertips in disgust.
"It's definitely not enough to cause a big incident, but it's more than enough to frame you, Captain Xu!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yancheng also squatted down.
He picked up a gun skillfully, ran his fingers over the worn marks on the gun body, and weighed the magazine.
His voice was as cold as ice. "It's a piece of junk! It makes a terrifying noise, and its accuracy is horrible. It's just for show. Only the ragtag armies in war-torn regions still treasure it."
Ruan Anan's mind raced, and a thought flashed through her mind like lightning: "Xu Yancheng, do you still remember...Uncle Xu, how did he die back then?"
Xu Yancheng's body stiffened slightly, and he was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "I remember. That year... my father came back from visiting relatives with Mr. Ruan in the northwest, and encountered 'gangsters' on the way..."
He paused, his fists clenched unconsciously. "He collapsed in front of the old house next to yours... Luckily, Uncle Ruan and Aunt Ruan took you to Beijing City. Otherwise... they wouldn't be able to clear their name even if they jumped into the Yellow River."
Ruan Anan's heart suddenly jumped!
She remembered that the original book had written about it in a casual manner.
Xu Yancheng and his father both died at the hands of the Blood Skull organization.
That was the starting point of the heroine's complete transformation into a dark figure and her determination for revenge.
It is also the turning point of the whole story from petty love to family and country!
The old western-style building next door...the female leader...
"I see!"
Ruan Anan suddenly grabbed Xu Yancheng's sturdy forearm with such force that he even looked sideways. "Xu Yancheng! Your father wasn't killed by some roving thug! It was Blood Skull's evil hand!"
She spoke quickly, revealing everything about the discovery of the blood skull supplies in Li Ying's cellar.
Of course, he cleverly concealed his glorious deeds of "framing" and "confiscation of property", and simply said that he had discovered it unintentionally.
As for the dozens of boxes of antibiotics? She didn't even mention it.
To Ruan Anan's surprise, Xu Yancheng's brain worked much faster than she expected.
He didn't say anything, but his eyes were fixed on the fatal box.
After a long while, he spoke softly, "Li Ying and her son didn't have the courage nor the connections to get involved with the Blood Skull. They were probably lucky enough to get away with it. And my father must have seen something he shouldn't have seen, so he was silenced..."
Ruan Anan couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, "Good job, Captain Xu, you're pretty quick-witted!"
Xu Yancheng's brows were twisted into a knot, and his gaze fell back on the box: "They found out about my family's situation and knew I was in the army... They came for me."
He turned to her, his tone more serious than ever before, "An An, these things must be handed over!"
The iron-blooded aura of the leader of a group was clearly revealed at this moment.
Ruan Anan ignored him: "Xu Yancheng, you are not so naive as to think that if you hand this thing over, the matter will be over, right? If they can plot against you once, they can do it a second time and a third time! If you don't pull out this poisonous sting, you will have to sleep with one eye open!"
Didn’t Xu Yancheng understand it?
However, the Blood Skulls have complex networks and act in secret, and have penetrated deeply into the country.
Handing it over might alert the enemy, but if I don't, do I have to keep this hot potato and wait to be caught red-handed?
Just when he was feeling extremely confused, Ruan Anan squatted in front of him without him noticing.
In the dim light, she tilted her little face upwards, her big eyes clear and bright.
Her slightly pursed red lips look like a ripe cherry.
The whole person curled up into a small ball.
With the innocence and softness of a small animal.
The tense string in Xu Yancheng's heart inexplicably relaxed, and his hand almost uncontrollably raised up, wanting to rub her hair like he did when they were children...
But just when the fingertips were about to touch it!
His eyes inadvertently swept over the buttons of her shirt collar, which had been unbuttoned at some point.
A touch of white is faintly visible between the slightly open neckline...
"cough!"
Xu Yancheng suddenly retracted his hand as if he was burned by fire, and turned his head away as if he had been electrocuted.
My heart was beating like a drum in my chest.
Xu Yancheng! She's not the little girl wearing open-crotch pants anymore!
Hold on! Don't overstep your bounds until she nods!
Ruan Anan looked at his evasive eyes, confused: No way, no way, a dignified captain wouldn't be scared just because of a box, right?
Forget it, forget it. Since you are so handsome, I will give you a hand again!
Thinking of this, she stretched out her index finger and poked his hard head rudely.
"I have an idea that might draw these rats out of the gutter! Want to hear it?"
"Really?" Xu Yancheng turned his head suddenly, the surprise in his eyes almost overflowing.
But as soon as his eyes touched her, he immediately focused on her open neckline like a conditioned reflex——
Oh my god! How come the second button is also unbuttoned?
That dazzling whiteness and the faint undulations are simply deadly!
His Adam's apple rolled violently, and Xu Yancheng could only turn his head away again in embarrassment, his voice tense: "An An, your... collar... buttons are unbuttoned..."
"Ah?" Ruan Anan lowered her head and realized that two buttons of her Dacron shirt were unbuttoned.
Actually, nothing was missing.
It's far worse than the suspenders she wore in the summer in her previous life.
But in the 1970s, everyone was still conservative.
The original owner's waist was so thin that it could be pinched with one hand, but her breasts were well developed and plump.
The first thing she did after wearing it was to go to the black market and buy two of the smallest padded vests and squeeze them in as much as possible.
I’m afraid it’s too ostentatious.
As she buttoned her clothes slowly, she glanced at Xu Yancheng with an inquiring look.
Huh? This reaction... doesn't seem like that of the old Aquaman, the one who attracts all sorts of people?
Could it be that... I had misjudged him before? Did I misunderstand him?
Forget it! Ruan Anan shook her head vigorously.
No matter whether he is Aquaman or not, he likes the weak and graceful type!
The original owner didn’t like this style, no matter how innocent he was!
After fastening the last button, she walked over to Xu Yancheng and stood beside him, asking tentatively, "Are you really going to do what I say? Aren't you afraid that I'll trick you?"
Xu Yancheng nodded without hesitation, "An An, in this world... I only trust you!"
Ruan Anan felt like something gently hit her heart.
But the next second, she curled her lips in disgust, "Scumbag..."
Still saying it's not Aquaman? This is a classic quote from Aquaman!
What's with the line 'You're the only one I trust in this world?' It's so old-fashioned, okay?
