Qin Yu rolled his eyes at Du Qiang, stepped forward and kicked him aside, then went to Xia Lan's side and gently patted her back.
"!" Du Qiang stared in astonishment at Qin Yu patting 'his wife's' back, finally realizing that something was wrong.
"This is your sister-in-law." Qin Yu rolled his eyes at Du Qiang, and seeing that Xia Lan had calmed down, he quickly helped her to sit down on the sofa.
Remembering there were still vegetables in the kitchen, Qin Yu bypassed Du Qiang, went back to the kitchen, and served the vegetables onto plates.
Du Qiang's heart broke when he saw Xia Lan coughing so hard that her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had been badly bullied.
He just felt that God had been kind to him, arranging such a beautiful wife for him, making his life worthwhile.
He had almost decided on the names of his own children, but now he was being told that this was his sister-in-law?
"Ugh." Du Qiang covered his face in frustration and squatted down.
"I'm sorry, I was just about to explain," Xia Lan said uneasily, looking at Du Qiang who was crying so hard.
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine." Du Qiang quickly stood up and waved to Xia Lan.
"I was just daydreaming, thinking my superiors had arranged a wife for me!" Du Qiang sighed; he also wanted a beautiful wife.
It really was a dream.
"You're really daydreaming! What are you thinking about in broad daylight!" Qin Yu walked in carrying dishes and mocked mercilessly.
"You've forgotten all your investigative skills, haven't you? When you see a woman in your room, instead of being suspicious, you think the organization is sending you a wife. What are you thinking?" Qin Yu put down the dishes on the table and looked at Du Qiang, finding him utterly outrageous.
"Big brother, you already have a sister-in-law, so why can't I have a wife too..." Du Qiang didn't dare to refute Qin Yu, but just expressed his resentment.
Even the devil in their eyes can get a wife. He thinks he has done a lot of good deeds. Shouldn't he also be given a good wife?
"If you want a wife, go and marry one yourself!" Qin Yu flicked Du Qiang's forehead, amused by his antics.
"...Big brother, does your sister-in-law have any sisters?" Du Qiang glanced at Xia Lan fearlessly, thinking that he would be content if he could have half of his sister-in-law's sisters.
"I...don't have any sisters." Xia Lan glanced apologetically at Du Qiang and smiled.
Du Qiang looked utterly devastated and let out a heavy sigh.
"Why can my older brother get married, but I, a good man, can't..." Du Qiang felt wronged.
"Don't pay attention to him, he's just being dramatic!" Qin Yu rubbed Xia Lan's head, and when he saw that her eyes were red from coughing, a look of heartache flashed in his eyes.
He walked over to Du Qiang and kicked him. "Where's your malted milk powder? Make a cup for your sister-in-law."
"Okay." Du Qiang immediately stood up, walked to the cabinet, took out the malted milk powder, and made a cup for Xia Lan.
"Thank you." Xia Lan watched Qin Yu and Du Qiang interact and couldn't understand how Du Qiang could possibly be the high-ranking official Qin Yu had described, the director of the Public Security Bureau.
Shouldn't high-ranking officials like that be very serious?
Why does Qin Yu seem more like the police chief than Du Qiang?
Du Qiang's attitude towards Qin Yu was like a mouse seeing a cat; he seemed very afraid of him.
“Du…” Xia Lan looked at Du Qiang, not knowing how to address him.
"Just call me Du Qiang." Seeing Xia Lan's hesitation, Du Qiang smiled at her. "You're my older brother's wife, so you're my sister-in-law."
The fact that this "living devil" is so nervous shows that this sister-in-law is quite special in her brother's eyes.
Especially just a moment ago, my older brother almost revealed his true nature and wanted to beat him up.
If it weren't for his sister-in-law, he probably would be lying on the ground by now!
“You look… uh… not quite like a police chief.” Xia Lan glanced at Du Qiang sheepishly.
Du Qiang smiled nonchalantly. "Sister-in-law, I can only be this relaxed in front of you. If it were someone else..."
Before Du Qiang could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Xia Lan watched as Du Qiang instantly transformed, his smile vanishing and his face hardening, revealing an imposing aura.
"Who is it?" Du Qiang opened the door with a serious face. A policeman saw Du Qiang's stern face and quickly explained.
"Director Du, these are the transfer documents for the murderer. Your signature is required..."
Du Qiang took the pen, calmly signed his name, and glanced at the policeman.
"Next time something like this happens, wait until the next day and come to my office."
"Yes, sorry to bother Director Du." The police officer, sweating profusely, quickly replied, grabbed the documents, and ran off.
As Xia Lan watched Du Qiang close the door, the muscles on his face instantly relaxed. He quickly walked up to her. "Sister-in-law, how did you and brother meet?"
Looking at Du Qiang, who had transformed back into his sunny and cheerful self, Xia Lan couldn't help but marvel at his ability to change his demeanor so quickly...
She thought it was a woman's skill to change her expression, but she didn't expect that Du Qiang didn't transfer this skill to women at all.
"Your older brother and I! Your older brother is my savior..." Xia Lan had nothing to hide from Du Qiang, so she told him everything.
When Du Qiang heard Qin Yu offer to let Xia Lan stay, he was taken aback for a moment. But after Xia Lan finished speaking, Du Qiang's eyes lit up. "Sister-in-law, are there many girls in your village who jump into the river?"
"...What nonsense are you talking about! Who would jump into the river for no reason?" Qin Yu came in carrying dishes, and when he heard Du Qiang's nonsensical words, he stepped forward and kicked him again.
"...I just want to follow in my older brother's footsteps and find a wife!" Du Qiang said, looking at Qin Yu with a wronged expression.
Xia Lan tugged at Qin Yu's clothes, pleading for Du Qiang. "Brother Yu, was he one of your former soldiers?"
"Mm." Qin Yu nodded.
"But I feel like you two are more like brothers?" Xia Lan looked at the two of them. If they were just his soldiers, this intimacy seemed a bit too much.
"Sister-in-law, you don't know, my life was saved by my eldest brother. I owe him twelve lives," Du Qiang explained to Xia Lan with a smile.
“Back then, when we were on a mission, my brother led us deep into enemy territory. We finally managed to rescue our target, and just as he was leading us to escape, I was discovered by the enemy. If my brother hadn’t turned back to save me, you wouldn’t be seeing me now…” Du Qiang explained to Xia Lan.
He owes Qin Yu far more than just twelve lives; everything he has was given to him by Qin Yu.
“I owe my brother so much. Even this job as the head of the Public Security Bureau was given to me by my brother! If it weren’t for my brother, I would be…” Du Qiang said earnestly.
Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu in astonishment. She never expected that the position of police chief was originally his, but he gave it to Du Qiang, and he chose to return to the village instead.
Seeing Xia Lan's shocked expression and Qin Yu's warning look, Du Qiang knew he had said something wrong, but he didn't regret it. He just wanted Xia Lan to know.
Qin Yu is such a good person.
