Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

"They just want to throw this filth on me, slander me, and ruin my reputation so I can't stay here any longer! I have no choice but to obediently go back to the city with them and jump into that fire pit for Su Lingshan! That's why they put on this show today!"

Uncle Su was jumping up and down in panic behind him: "You... how could you say such nonsense! We didn't! Stop slandering your cousin!"

That's what he really thought, but when did his niece Su Wanqing become so shrewd?

"I'm slandering them?" Su Wanqing scoffed, then said loudly, "Aunt Wang, could you please hold my aunt down? We told them to get out, but they wouldn't! Now that they're being so ungrateful, they're not leaving!"

She originally planned to let these people go back first, and then secretly put them in sacks and give them a good meal that night, but now it seems she has to send them to the police station ahead of schedule.

Unfortunately, Xie Lanhua and Uncle Su received a beating less.

Aunt Wang's eyes were brimming with excitement as she slapped Xie Lanhua down, saying, "Don't worry, nobody's getting away today!"

"Does anyone have the time? Please go and report this to the police! Since they can't catch the thief, I'll help them catch him! I want to get to the bottom of this in front of the police officers! When Su Yaoguang stole the money, they hung him up and beat him, and they also found the camera he bought, as well as evidence of his extravagant spending on meals with his cronies! These are all witnesses and physical evidence!"

"Once I ask the police to investigate the truth and arrest the real thief, Su Yaoguang, it will clear my name, Su Wanqing! And those who slandered military families and attempted to disrupt military marriages will be punished according to the law!"

After Su Wanqing said that, how could the educated youth and villagers not understand?

"Good heavens! So the thief was crying 'stop thief'!"

"This family is utterly despicable! They want their niece to take the blame, and they're also accusing her of stealing money!"

"Do you really think we, the people of the 65th Regiment, are easy to bully?"

"Hold them down! Don't let them get away! I'm going to call the police!"

When Xie Lanhua saw that Su Wanqing was actually going to call the police and make a big fuss, her legs went weak and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Uncle Su completely panicked, cold sweat pouring down his forehead: "Niece! Niece! Don't call the police! This is a family matter! Let's talk it over behind closed doors!"

Of course they knew Su Wanqing hadn't taken the money. They only wanted to ruin her reputation and get the gold back. Who would have thought this brat would actually try to make a big deal out of it? What if the police really came and found out that their own son was the real thief?

Yaoguang might lose his job.

Therefore, you must never report it to the police.

Su Lingshan looked at Su Wanqing with a flicker in her eyes. Why didn't she follow the script? Everyone else just came out and casually said a few words, but she went and threatened to call the police.

Su Wanqing's eyes were icy: "Family matter? When you falsely accused me of stealing money and made it public knowledge, why didn't you consider that it was a family matter? Now you want to settle it privately?"

Uncle Su slapped his thigh anxiously, "Yes, yes, yes! We made a mistake! The money...you didn't take the money! Okay? We made a mistake! Let us go, let us leave, we'll go back to Bincheng right away, and we'll never bother you again, okay?"

Su Wanqing: "It's too late!"

Just then, a commotion arose on the outskirts of the crowd, and a deep, cold voice rang out:

"Excuse me! Who just said they were going to call the police?"

The crowd parted automatically to make way, and Zhou Yanshen strode forward with a straight and swift posture, his face stern and his aura chilling. The whispers around him subsided as he passed.

Several police officers followed behind him.

Zhou Yanshen's gaze instantly locked onto Su Wanqing, who was surrounded in the center. He took a few steps to her side and said in a low voice:

"What happened? Who bullied you?"

Just a moment ago, Su Wanqing was exuding confidence and domineering strength, but the instant she heard Zhou Yanshen's voice and saw his figure, her eyes reddened, and she let out a pitiful "woof," like a frightened little rabbit, softly and weakly throwing herself into Zhou Yanshen's strong and warm embrace.

"Yan Shen, they're all bullying me~~ They falsely accused me of stealing money from home, and they even tried to ruin my military marriage, kidnapping me and saying I'd be married off to an old man who's been married three times~~"

She buried her face in his chest, her shoulders trembling slightly, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Zhou Yanshen felt his wife trembling in his arms, and his heart clenched as if it had been violently torn apart, a mixture of anger and resentment welling up within him. He immediately tightened his arms, holding her tightly in his embrace, suppressing his anger and deliberately being gentle:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

When he looked up again, his eyes were icy cold. He had only been on a mission for a few days, yet his wife was being bullied. What was even worse was that these people were targeting him, wanting him to divorce his wife and marry a three-time married old man who had beaten two wives to death.

Do these people think Zhou Yanshen is dead?!

Everyone who saw Zhou Yanshen felt a chill run down their spine.

Zhou's mother grabbed Lin Tingting's hand, her voice trembling, and said, "Your cousin... he's really angry this time."

Lin Tingting's teeth chattered. "My...cousin is so scary...the last time I saw him this scary was when my uncle passed away..."

"Police officers," Zhou Yanshen's voice was steady and powerful, "someone is openly slandering our military dependents for stealing property and attempting to deceive, coerce, and disrupt military marriages. The facts are clear, and there are numerous witnesses. Please handle this matter seriously according to the law."

Su Lingshan's heart pounded uncontrollably as she looked at Zhou Yanshen, who had suddenly appeared. This was the cold, powerful, and imposing male protagonist she had written about! He was even more impactful than the descriptions in the books; his tall, straight figure, his sharp features, his deep eyes... everything about him made her tremble, almost forgetting her current situation.

Seeing her lost in thought, Xie Lanhua secretly pinched her hard in anger. "You brat! What time is it? Hurry up and think of a solution!"

Su Lingshan winced in pain and came to her senses. She couldn't let herself be taken away like this; she had to seize the opportunity!

She took a sudden step forward and seemingly collapsed weakly in front of Zhou Yanshen:

"Brother Yanshen, I'm sorry. It's all because my parents are stubborn and confused. They not only wronged my sister, but also said those outrageous things..."

Today, she specially wore Zhou Yanshen's favorite Lenin suit, just like the "destined" first encounter with Zhou Yanshen that she described in her article.

Zhou Yanshen frowned, his eyes filled with unfamiliarity and displeasure at being disturbed.

Who are you?

Su Lingshan was struck dumb, staring at him in disbelief.

He doesn't even remember her?!

Tears streamed down her face. "I'm Su Lingshan! Brother Yanshen has forgotten me. When Uncle passed away, he held my hand and said, 'It's Su Lingshan who's here to marry the Su family's daughter.' It's me, Su Lingshan!"
