Chen He pulled the dancer aside, walked up to Xu Zhuohua, and asked, "Did you discover something?"
Xu Zhuohua looked at the dancer, who was probably not even eighteen years old. She was very young and inexperienced, trembling under Chen Hede's hands, and was even about to cry.
"No."
Do not interfere in the cause and effect of others.
Chen Hede sniffed the dancer's neck, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Miss Xu, think it over carefully before you speak. The law stipulates that harboring opium is an accomplice and will result in immediate execution."
Xu Zhuohua swayed slightly. Chen Hede must have noticed the dancer's unusual behavior, but why did he insist that he say it?
Is he a pervert?
But she didn't dare say that, and pointed to the dancer's stomach, "It smells strange here."
The dancer seemed to have lost her soul, suddenly becoming dazed and seemingly giving up the struggle. Chen Hede tore open the dancer's clothes from the slit of her cheongsam.
A thin piece of paper wrapped in kraft paper fell off. It had probably been hidden on her body for too long, and it was slightly bumpy, resembling the shape of her belly.
A police officer picked it up, tore open the brown paper, and the dark, mud-like opium was exposed to everyone.
This is the smell, it hits your nose directly. Xu Zhuohua couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose. This stuff is the culprit behind the collapse of modern China!
Chen Hede shoved the dancer aside, patted his deerskin gloves with disdain, and said, "Take her back and interrogate her slowly."
The dancer stumbled and fell to the ground, her green velvet cheongsam torn open, revealing her cleavage. Her small hands gripped the torn opening tightly.
"Thank you for the reminder, Miss Xu." Xu Zhuohua felt that Chen Hede's tone was insincere.
She untied her navy blue robe, took it off, and draped it over the dancer. Fortunately, the robe was long enough to cover the dancer's thighs, preventing her from being exposed.
The dancer was taken away. Chen Hede chuckled and said, "Miss Xu, there's no need for that. My men won't do anything to the criminals."
Xu Zhuohua sighed, "Even if nothing is done, she will still be sad if men look at her half-naked."
Chen Hede paused for a moment, then asked, "Miss Xu, aren't you afraid of being gossiped about while wearing only an undergarment?"
Xu Zhuohua knew, of course, that in such a feudal era, a woman walking down the street in her undergarments was equivalent to walking around in a bikini.
"Then I'll trouble Deputy Director Chen to get me to the Cheng residence as soon as possible," Xu Zhuohua said nonchalantly.
Chen Hede put his hands in his trench coat pockets, gave his subordinates a few instructions, and left the Paramount Ballroom with Xu Zhuohua.
When Xu Zhuohua got into the car, there was no one outside. The empty night was as if nothing had happened.
The sun will rise as usual tomorrow, and all the rumors will remain at this moment.
Chen Hede drove in silence, while Xu Zhuohua sat in the back, lost in thought.
"Miss Xu, aren't you afraid?"
Xu Zhuohua came to her senses. She was well-versed in history and knew that each era had its own characteristics. The characteristic of this period was that "people were like grass and mustard greens."
"I'm scared." Her voice was very soft.
Chen Hede chuckled softly, "You don't look scared at all."
After that, there was no further conversation.
The car stopped in front of the Cheng Mansion. Zhang Qi was sitting at the door, thinking that Cheng Muyun had returned. When he saw that it was Chen Hede, the smile on his face froze.
Chen Hede said, "I brought Miss Xu back, so your young marshal owes me a favor."
After leaving those words, the car roared away.
Madam Cheng rushed out of the room in a panic. "Is Mu Yun back?"
Upon seeing Xu Zhuohua's undergarments, he froze on the spot, "Where are your clothes?"
"It was lent to someone else."
How did you get back?
"Deputy Director Chen brought me back."
Madam Cheng's facial features twitched, a suppressed smile played on her lips, and her eyes glared at Xu Zhuohua, seemingly wanting to get angry yet also feeling a little smug.
A moment later, Madam Cheng said angrily, "Xu Shuhua! You came back in the middle of the night with barely any clothes on, and you were fooling around with other men. What do you take the Cheng family for? You have no sense of propriety or shame at all!"
This is the effect Xu Zhuohua wanted.
As the future daughter-in-law of the Cheng family, she openly wore undergarments and was brought back by a strange man in the middle of the night.
Mrs. Cheng will definitely not let her in again.
That's perfect, she doesn't want to get married.
That's why she gave the clothes to the dancer and readily agreed to let Chen Hede take her back.
"I got separated from the young marshal."
Mrs. Cheng was even angrier. "If you got separated, couldn't you have just waited where you were? And did you explain clearly whether you lent your clothes to someone or had them taken off?"
