Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Ambushed Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Ambushed The fifth day of the new year.
Su ixi had finally finished her Spring Festival shift.
This evening, she was walking ho with a colleague from her unit.
This colleague was nad Wang Bing, 33 years old, also a Military Wife, living inside the Military District with her, and Su ixi got along with her extrely well. Since they were close in age and both without children, they often chatted about preparing for pregnancy.
“I’ve been married for four years, and I still haven’t gotten pregnant,” Wang Bing said as she walked. “I’m starting to suspect that I’m infertile.”
“Ah? Have you checked for the reason?” When Su ixi asked, she was also worried about herself.
“I’ve had it checked, it might be because I took birth control pills too often. My damn man doesn’t like to use condoms; alas, this birth control thing, it’s won who suffer. Let tell you, no matter how much you don’t want kids, don’t take birth control pills.”
“I rarely take them,” Su ixi said.
Gu Wei always used condoms. Since they’d co to Yun City, they’d given up on birth control altogether; of course, because Gu Wei was busy, there wasn’t much ti for them to be intimate.
Wang Bing said, “My mother-in-law used to nag a lot, and she kept urging to drink traditional Chinese dicine. But for so reason, she’s stopped nagging recently, and I always feel like she’s up to no good.”
“Up to what kind of no good?” Su ixi asked.
“Not quite clear. My mother-in-law is the kind of person who loves to ddle in other people’s business. If she’s not causing trouble, it’s definitely abnormal.”
Su ixi laughed: “Anyway, she doesn’t live with you guys, so if you don’t see her, you won’t be annoyed.”
Wang Bing sighed, “It’s not that simple. Let’s not talk about this anymore, it’s irritating.”
The two of them reached a fork in the road. Just then, Wang Bing received a phone call. The director wanted her to return to the hospital, saying there was an issue with her attendance.
Wang Bing hurriedly apologized to Su ixi, “Sorry, the director suddenly asked for . It might be because I took too many days off this month; I need to go back and check with him.”
“Okay, then you go,” Su ixi said.
They parted ways, and Su ixi walked ho alone.
When she reached a secluded spot, she suddenly felt sothing was off.
She was approaching the corner near the Military District’s outer wall. The street lights were dim here, and since it was dinnerti, there were hardly any people out for a walk, making it very quiet.
She often took this route and yet, tonight as she walked here, she suddenly felt a chill, as if she had a very bad premonition.
Perhaps due to experiencing many dangers, her body had developed a crisis awareness, instinctively reacting when confronted with danger.
At this mont, her ears perked up; she watched every direction and listened to all sides, but she continued to walk as if nothing was amiss.
When she reached the corner, she stopped.
She had a feeling that danger was just ahead.
Indeed, seeing that she had not passed by, a man wearing a mask peeked out, seemingly glancing casually at Su ixi.
He was tailing her!
Su ixi took out her phone to make a call.
She called Wang Bing.
With Gu Wei not at ho and Wang Bing having just left, Wang Bing was the closest person to her at this ti.
“Wang Bing, I seem to have run into so trouble. Could you bring soone over? I’m at the corner,” she said.
“Ah? Okay, I’m on my way.” Wang Bing had just arrived at the hospital entrance; not sure whom to ask for help, she saw a male doctor from another departnt leaving work and imdiately sought his assistance.
The male doctor, upon hearing Su ixi was in trouble, followed Wang Bing there without hesitation.
However, when Wang Bing and the male doctor arrived, they saw two shady-looking n lying in front of Su ixi, both moaning and groaning in pain.
Of course, Su ixi was not in a good state either. She was gasping for breath, and as soon as Wang Bing showed up, she looked completely depleted.
“ixi, what happened?” Wang Bing asked.
Panting, Su ixi like soone who survived a catastrophe, said, “Call… call the police!”
…
A bunch of people were called to the nearby police station for questioning.
A policeman was scolding the two thugs, “You picked on her? Do you know who she is? She is a Military Wife! Of course, it doesn’t an you can pick on others if they are not Military Wives, but anyway, you guys just wait to go to jail!”
The thugs were nervous, but they didn’t seem to fear going to jail, insisting they were just basking in lust, trying to intimidate Su ixi.
The police found items like a snakeskin bag and straw rope in the thugs’ bags, which were tools for committing cris. The nearby surveillance cara, by coincidence, had broken right at that ti.
If it had not been for Su ixi’s persistent practice of self-defense and Sanda, the outco would have been unthinkable.
Fortunately, she had called Wang Bing for help; otherwise, others might have thought that it was she who had bullied the two thugs.
When the police ca over to comfort Su ixi, they said, “These thugs are repeat offenders. Don’t worry, we will definitely punish them with the law.”
But Su ixi had a hunch, “Is it possible that they were instructed by soone?”
“We can’t guarantee that right now. We need to carefully check their recent call records, plus their bank transactions or cash exchanges. As soon as we have results, we will notify you imdiately.”
“Okay,” Su ixi nodded.
Leaving the police station, Wang Bing asked Su ixi, “ixi, you said you suspected they were instructed by soone, have you offended anyone recently?”
Su ixi shook her head.
Speaking of offending people, the first would be Gu Wei’s enemies; the second… she thought of Xi Wanlin.
But without evidence, she couldn’t make unfounded accusations.
She smiled and said, “I’ll ask my husband when I go back. I’ve been hurt several tis because of him.”
Wang Bing sighed, “Being a Military Wife is really not easy, especially for your husband, whose tasks are so perilous.”
“You’re telling .”
…
Sohow Gu Wei was notified, and he called early the next morning, “Ran into danger again?”
“Not exactly. Those two thugs had a worse ti; they got beaten up pretty badly by . My combat skills have gotten stronger. Give another year and a half, and I could take on five at a ti.”
“Not bad, you still have the mood to joke, it shows you’re fine. When I get back, I’ll teach you a few tougher moves. Of course, you should also work on your strength. n and won are naturally different in strength; you can’t overco them with technique alone.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you to co back. Have you decided yet? Where are you planning to stay?”
Gu Wei said, “If we stay in Yun City, then we’ll need to buy another house. Which house do you like?”
“The villa next to Zhen Chi. I like looking at the lake.”
“No regrets? We have the opportunity to go to Bei City and go back to Feng City.”
“No regrets. I like Yun City now,” Su ixi said.
…
Gu Wei’s transition notice ca through very quickly.
He joined a certain commission, changing his military uniform for a white shirt and black trousers, the basic attire of a public servant.
Su ixi felt a brief sense of loss.
As she adjusted Gu Wei’s shirt collar, she asked, “Do you regret leaving the army?”
Gu Wei smiled and said, “How could I? Gold shines no matter where it is.”
Although he was still very fit, he was no longer suited for performing highly dangerous tasks due to multiple injuries.
