A Beauty in the 80s Goes on a Blind Date with Her Child, Captivating the Military Compound - Chapter 23

The people around were flushed and had no face to say anything else.

“Besides, I gave them a chance to clarify just now, but they didn’t take it,” Shen Sisi said.

“Exactly!” Li Wenhui rushed over, her shoes on the wrong feet. As she got closer, she heard what Shen Sisi said.

“I was just listening. Shen Sisi asked them if they saw her with a lover or heard about it firsthand, and they didn’t dare to say a thing.”

“If it was something they were sure about, why wouldn’t they say it? They must have something to hide!”

Shen Sisi saw Li Wenhui come to support her and automatically sided with her. She felt warmed by her trust.

“That’s right. Sister Wenhui heard it, so how could you all not hear it?”

“Or are you all in on it with Zhang Xiuhong and Yang Qiuxia?”

Shen Sisi’s gaze was like a knife. Wherever she looked, people backed away in a large group, afraid of being implicated by the two gossips and having a crime pinned on them.

The group that had been so righteous before now didn’t dare to speak up in order to protect themselves.

Only an older military wife sighed. “Young lady, you should let things go when you can. You’re not even married to Xiao Gu yet, and you’re already fighting in the residential compound and wrongly accusing people. This has a very bad influence. What will the leaders think of him?”

At the mention of Gu Chengfeng, Shen Sisi’s fingers loosened slightly.

After a brief moment of distraction, she clenched her fingers again, pinning the two women down.

She showed no panic, only a cold laugh. “What will the leaders think? Of course they’ll use their eyes to see!”

“After all, I have evidence. If my guess is correct and that man is a dangerous person, I’m just getting rid of a menace for the people!”

The older military wife said, “Evidence? What evidence do you have?”

Shen Sisi took a deep breath and said calmly, “This morning, I took my daughter to buy groceries and ran into the man they mentioned at the gate.”

“That man was bald, with a missing part of his ear. He was yelling at the gate, saying he was looking for Gu Chengfeng. The guards stopped him. I felt that he had malicious intentions and wasn’t a good person. He might have been looking for revenge. I wanted to follow him, but I lost him at the pier…”

“As for a lover…” Shen Sisi felt disgusted saying the word. “I just arrived and don’t even know him, yet these two swore that man was my lover. They made it sound so real. It seems they must have had contact with this man, or how could they be so sure?”

Shen Sisi’s words came out like machine-gun fire, logical and well-reasoned, leaving no room for a counterargument.

When everyone heard this, they understood.

These two gossips had intentionally fabricated a story about Shen Sisi, and they had accidentally been cornered by her.

Now, if that man was truly looking for revenge on Gu Chengfeng or was an enemy agent, they wouldn’t be able to clear their names even if they jumped into the Yellow River.

Shen Sisi didn’t need to prove her innocence. There would be plenty of people who would come to investigate Zhang Xiuhong and Yang Qiuxia.

They were the ones who had to figure out how to prove their innocence.

Hearing Shen Sisi’s words, Zhang Xiuhong’s snot and tears mixed into one mess. “I, I didn’t know that man was a problem! It’s clearly your fault for being loose, and now you’re turning it around on us.”

“Whether I’m loose or not, at least the military district is vetting me. If I can’t enter this compound, then that’s my fate, but it’s not for you to throw mud at me.”

Shen Sisi still wasn’t satisfied. She used her knee to press against Zhang Xiuhong’s soft flesh, making her yelp in pain.

Yang Qiuxia was calmer than Zhang Xiuhong. After a quick analysis, she knew the situation was bad.

Now that the incident had blown up, if her husband found out she had caused such a huge mess, he would divorce her!

So, she hardened her heart and shot a ruthless look at Zhang Xiuhong.

“Sister Sisi, I was wrong. I, I also heard Sister Xiuhong say that a man came looking for you and that he was your lover. Oh dear… My mind was not clear, and I believed her nonsense.”

She squeezed out a few tears, feigning regret, and sobbed, “It’s my fault for being so foolish. Please, be a good person and let me go, okay?”

Zhang Xiuhong was about to explode when she heard this. “You’re the one who said it! You said you saw it with your own eyes! I never saw anything! How can you push all the blame on me…”

Yang Qiuxia sniffled, looking wronged and pitiful. “Sister Xiuhong, I know you don’t want to admit it. If it were anything else, I’d take the blame for you. It’s not like I haven’t done that before. But this matter is very complicated. I really can’t take the blame for you. If you really saw something, you have to tell the truth…”

“What do you mean ‘take the blame for me’? When have you ever taken the blame for me? Yang Qiuxia, you better make yourself clear!”

Zhang Xiuhong was completely enraged by her. She was like a madwoman, and Shen Sisi’s entire body was almost knocked over.

Although she wasn’t very smart, she finally came to her senses.

Yang Qiuxia was trying to make her take the blame alone!

If that man was truly seeking revenge and did something harmful, wouldn’t she have to go to jail or face the firing squad?

What about her husband? What about her children?

The more Zhang Xiuhong thought about it, the angrier she got. She didn’t know where she got the strength from, but she lifted her rear end and pushed Shen Sisi hard, knocking her over.

Shen Sisi didn’t react in time. Her body flew into the air, and just as she was about to hit the ground, a pair of large hands quickly caught her.

The powerful arms were firm and full of strength. With almost no effort, he pulled her into his embrace.

A handsome face was right in front of hers. Under his dashing, sword-like eyebrows, his deep eyes were filled with heartache.

Gu Chengfeng. He was back…

Gu Chengfeng knelt on one knee, his nose gently brushing against Shen Sisi’s dusty face. Her eyes were red. All her strength and endurance turned into tears the moment she saw him.

“Gu Chengfeng…” Shen Sisi hugged him with all her might.

Gu Chengfeng grunted. The wound on his shoulder was pressed, and he frowned slightly in pain.

The pain from his wound, however, was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.

God knew he had rushed back the moment his mission was over, only to see this scene!

These people, they dared to bully Shen Sisi while I was away…

He had come in a hurry and didn’t know what was happening. He had received a frantic message saying that Shen Sisi had beaten up Zhang Xiuhong and Yang Qiuxia, and he had run.

For Shen Sisi to take action, she must have been wronged in a huge way.

How good of a girl is Sisi? She’s calm, steady, and kind to people. She would never deliberately cause trouble.

Forced to hit someone, there’s only one answer—that person deserved it!

Thank goodness I made it in time. If I had been any later, Sisi would have been bullied to death!

Thinking this, a deep darkness flashed in Gu Chengfeng’s eyes. “What’s going on? Are you hurt?”

Shen Sisi hadn’t shed a single tear until now, but hearing Gu Chengfeng’s concern, she wanted to cry so badly.

“I’m fine…” Shen Sisi’s words were cut off as tears flowed from her eyes.

This was the first time he had seen her cry. “You’re crying, and you say you’re fine!”

Everyone thought, Is Gu Chengfeng okay?

The two people who got beaten are on the ground. Can’t he see that?

Shen Sisi just shed a few tears, and Comrade Gu can’t handle it?

Gu Chengfeng cupped Shen Sisi’s head with his large hand, pulling her into his arms and comforting her in a low voice. “I’m sorry. I’m late.”

“Leave this to me… I won’t let go of anyone who bullied you!”

His words were as cold as poison, and everyone shivered.

Who in the military district didn’t know Gu Chengfeng’s temper?

When he got mad, he was a madman. Even the commander was afraid of him.

Zhang Xiuhong and Yang Qiuxia looked at each other and, without a word, started fighting.

One pulled the other’s hair, and their feet didn’t stop either, twisting around and rolling on the ground.

At that moment, their husbands also arrived and quickly pulled them apart.

“What’s going on?”
