Chapter 118: Division Chief Jiang's Bullish Strength

The policewoman kicked the two of them to the ground with a single high kick.

"Human trafficking is a crime; you still think you're in the right?"

With a gun pointed at their heads, the couple finally behaved.

"Old Woman Li! What kind of daughter-in-law did you find for our family? Hurry up and return the bride price money to me!"

The old woman dared not confront the police, so she had to vent all her anger on Mother Li.

When the police rescued Shen Yuan from the room, she could only hug herself and scream uncontrollably.

Seeing that the matter had come to a satisfactory conclusion, Ming Zi took her security guards and left first.

The good deed was done; what remained was Li Xuan's business.

"Ming Zi! You can't leave yet!"

Seeing that she was about to leave, Li Xuan was startled, "I beg you, take us mother and daughter with you, please?"

She was worried that Mother Li would not let her go.

"That is your business," Ming Zi started the car, "but I still want to remind you: you are a mother. If you can't even protect your own children, then you are a failure."

After saying this, she left.

Li Xuan stood stunned in the car exhaust for quite a while.

Was she a failed mother?

Sure enough, after the police rescued Shen Yuan and handed her over to Li Xuan, they left.

The old couple from the Tong Family got into a fight with Old Woman Li.

Shen Chi held Shen Yuan and comforted her.

Li Xuan had originally intended to take her two children and sneak away while Mother Li wasn't paying attention.

But after Li Dabao discovered them, the whole family immediately surrounded the three of them.

"How can you leave in such a hurry after returning to your maiden home?" Li Dabao looked at Li Xuan with a lecherous gaze.

After all, she was a woman he had played with when he was young.

Li Xuan knew that she probably wouldn't be able to leave easily today.

Thinking of the words Ming Zi said before leaving, she calmly smiled at her family.

"I'm not leaving; I'm going to Aunt Tong's kitchen to get a drink of water."

When she came back out, she was holding two kitchen knives in her hands.

She slashed around like a madwoman.

The old couple from the Tong Family were terrified and wanted to take their foolish son and hide, only to find that Li Jianmei was only using the kitchen knives to slash their family members.

Mother Li's arm was slashed, and Li Dabao, as well as Erbao who had rushed over, and Erbao's wife, all ended up with injuries.

"Are you crazy?" Mother Li looked at her in shock.

"I should have been crazy a long time ago!" Li Xuan continued to wave the kitchen knives frantically, "Today I will hack you animals to death!"

The Li family was terrified and fled in all directions.

The situation turned sharply, and Li Xuan successfully took her children and left Kongque Zhen.

Meanwhile, things were peaceful on Si Rong's side.

After boarding the train, Jiang Cheng successfully managed to get a sleeper berth to Jing Shi.

During the day, they sat on the lower bunk reading books and chatting, and at night they fell asleep to the rumbling sound.

It took four and a half days before they finally arrived in Jing Shi.

Everything here was both strange and novel.

Si Rong saw young people on the street wearing T-shirts with slogans written on them.

There was "Don't bother me, I'm annoyed."

And also, "I'm a hooligan, who am I afraid of?"

With their rebellious and mocking nature, one couldn't help but sigh that young people in big cities were indeed more individualistic.

She hadn't really seen much of that back in Huaiyang.

The streets were even more prosperous than in Huaiyang; on the main roads, supermarkets and all kinds of restaurants could be seen everywhere.

Si Rong watched with great interest along the way; for the past few days on the train, she had only eaten the dry rations they brought.

Her stomach was now protesting strongly.

"Jiang Cheng, shall we go eat Cantonese food?"

Si Rong said after seeing a restaurant with a plaque that read "Live Seafood, Air-freighted Daily."

"Okay."

After the two went inside, they took the menu and ordered a dish of drunken shrimp, a dish of "Australian lobster," and a dish of "Thai bird's nest."

The shop also gave them a small pot of the house's signature warm yellow wine.

Soon it was mealtime, and they could hear the Jing dialect mixed with accents from all over.

Most of the customers here were either wealthy or noble.

The seafood also tasted quite good.

The two enjoyed a satisfying seafood feast, and upon leaving, they prepared to find a place to rest.

Before dark, they found a guesthouse.

After providing their identification, the staff took them to their room.

In the room, there were two 1.5-meter small beds and a table, on which sat a Peony-brand television.

It looked quite clean.

"Jiang Cheng, I have no strength left," Si Rong said, taking off her coat and lying down on the bed as soon as she entered the room.

Jiang Cheng placed their luggage temporarily into the wardrobe, then sized up the two small beds.

His thick brows furrowed.

After a moment of thought, he bent down and moved the other small bed, pushing it together with the one Si Rong was lying on.

Si Rong:...

Division Commander Jiang truly has the strength of an ox.

After lying there for a while, Si Rong felt thirsty.

She lightly kicked Jiang Cheng's calf beside her, "Division Commander Jiang, Mrs. Jiang is thirsty."

Whoosh!

Jiang Cheng got up from the bed, took the thermos from the room, and went to fetch hot water.

He certainly couldn't let Mrs. Jiang go thirsty.

After finishing the warm water, Si Rong finally felt some strength return to her body.

She began to plan for tomorrow's affairs.

"Shall we go look at the courtyard houses tomorrow first?"

Si Rong thought that once they found a house, they would still need to handle a series of procedures, and they could use that time to go sightseeing.

"I listen to Mrs. Jiang."

Jiang Cheng sniffed her hair, finding it Xiangxiang, carrying Si Rong's own scent.

Si Rong swept her hair to the other side, "I haven't washed it for several days!"

No, she felt a bit disgusted with herself and immediately prepared to wash up.

Jiang Cheng laughed, "Do you need my help?"

"I think that cultural shirt is quite suitable for Division Commander Jiang!" Si Rong teased with a playful pout, referring to the one printed with 'I'm a hooligan, who am I afraid of?'.

Jiang Cheng laughed heartily, noncommittal.

By the time the two finished washing up, night had already fallen.

Having sat on the train for several days, Si Rong decided to sleep early tonight.

The man holding her, however, had a scorching body.

Especially the part pressed tightly against her.

Si Rong knew very well what this meant.

He was uncomfortable.

He was restraining himself.

Si Rong interlaced her fingers with his, using her pinky to lightly hook his palm, "Division Commander Jiang, do you want to...?"

Suddenly, a pitiful meowing sound from a kitten rang out outside the window.

It was accompanied by dog barking.

Si Rong stood up from the bed, pulled back the curtains, and opened the window; by the moonlight, she saw a dog biting a weak, skinny kitten.

"Stop!" In her urgency, Si Rong pointed at the wild dog and scolded it angrily!

Jiang Cheng:...

He got up and draped his coat over Si Rong, "Don't catch a cold, I'll go out and take a look."

With this kitten here, I'm afraid Mrs. Jiang's heart won't be on him for a while.

"Jiang Cheng, bring the kitten back!" Si Rong pressed a kiss to his cheek, "Let it hide in our room for the night."

Otherwise, even if the wild dog were driven away, the kitten probably wouldn't fare well on such a cold night.

"As Mrs. Jiang wishes."

Jiang Cheng returned with the little wild kitten not long after he went out; Si Rong took advantage of this moment to pour the milk she had brought in her bag into a bottle cap to feed the kitten.

After drinking its fill, the kitten wandered around the room for a while before curling up in the corner and falling asleep.

Si Rong rested her head on Jiang Cheng's arm, "Division Commander Jiang has really worked hard today; does Division Commander Jiang want to...?"

"Aren't you tired?"

Jiang Cheng naturally wanted to.

In the past, when he was alone, he hadn't wanted to, but the wonderful feeling he had after being with Si Rong made him crave it, as if he were addicted.

"I am a little tired, but there are other ways..."

Her soft, boneless little hand slowly wound around him.
