A whirlwind marriage with a high-ranking official: Lights out, don't force me to take the initi

We finished a short meeting about the exercise.

Lu Weidong walked back to his office and had just sat down when the phone on his desk rang.

"Feed? Who?"

"Dongzi".

"Dayong?"

Lu Weidong frowned.

Although Jiang Dayong knew his office phone number, he would never call it unless there were special circumstances.

"Something happened over there?"

"Yes, Xu the Cripple has disappeared."

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Dayong's voice was low and deep.

"The informant said he hadn't shown up all day, but after searching his house, he found all the valuables."

It's possible that Xu the Cripple took their money and then ran away or hid from his debts.

"Can the cause be determined?"

"The person you suspected earlier has probably arrived."

"Someone saw him get into a black car."

"Okay, I understand," Lu Weidong replied and hung up the phone.

He gripped the microphone tightly, not letting go.

The office was quiet, so quiet that you could hear his suppressed breathing, heavy and labored.

at the same time.

After finishing the publicity department's launch meeting, Ye Wenxi returned to his doorstep.

She knocked on the door a few times, but there was no response.

Guessing that Lu Weihua might have gone out to play again, he took out his keys.

Click—

The door was pushed open a crack.

A simple envelope slipped through the crack in the door and fell to the ground.

Ye Wenxi caught a glimpse of this and sneered inwardly.

I thought it was another love letter secretly slipped in by a die-hard fan of Lu Weidong.

She bent down to pick it up, squeezed it, and found that it was unusually thin inside.

Tear open the edge of the envelope and pull out the only letter inside.

Unfold, and there's only one line of text on it:

Lu Weidong is investigating you; he went to your hometown.

There is nothing else besides this.

Ye Wenxi held the piece of paper and stood at the door for a long time.

Then she slowly and carefully folded the letter along the original creases and put it in her pocket.

She could tell who left it just by looking at their heels.

From the day she offended Su Ran, she knew this was not over.

Especially after that meeting in the propaganda department, Su Ran was probably even more restless.

only....

Su Ran was probably out of her mind with anger this time.

They made a completely disastrous move.

Without a doubt, Su Ran investigated her.

The purpose of investigating her was simply to find out her "weaknesses" in getting Lu Weidong.

With this, we can both expose her true colors and ruin Ye Wenxi's reputation.

Lu Weidong will also see through her "weakness" and feel extreme disgust for her, thus naturally breaking them up.

Su Ran is the same as Xu Miao.

They were all convinced that she had risen to power through some "despicable" means.

Although... the facts do indeed 'match' to some extent.

What Su Ran didn't expect was that the soul inside this body had already changed.

Ye Wenxi has long since captivated Lu Weidong, who is now completely infatuated with her.

He even went so far as to personally bribe and intimidate Xu Mancang.

All to sever any past that might hurt her.

He protected her tightly behind him.

Su Ran could not find the "dirty reason" she had expected.

They lost their excuse again.

They were caught off guard and that's why they took this step.

Write letters, sow discord.

When Lu Weidong returned home that evening, he saw Ye Wenxi and Lu Weihua packing their luggage.

"What are you two doing?" he asked, standing in the doorway.

"My second sister-in-law said we're going back tomorrow!"

Lu Weihua answered first, still holding a sweater in his hand.

"So early? Didn't you say there were still a few days left?"

"My second sister-in-law said she wants to take some time to visit more shopping malls and fabric factories," Lu Weihua blurted out, continuing the conversation.

Ye Wenxi remained silent.

Lu Weidong walked into the bedroom and saw her stuffing the last few pieces of clothing into her suitcase.

"Wenxi?"

Ye Wenxi zipped up the luggage bag in a calm voice.

"We've already eaten."

"Your food is still in the pot, take it out and eat it yourself."

"it is good."

If Lu Weidong couldn't even tell that Ye Wenxi was not in a good condition.

Then he is not worthy of the position of regimental chief of staff.

He ate his meal at the table, wondering what might have happened.

After finishing his meal, Lu Weidong washed the dishes and was wiping his hands.

Ye Wenxi came out of the bedroom and stopped in front of him.

"Finished eating? It's not too cold today, let's go for a walk."

Lu Weidong paused in surprise.

As expected, Ye Wenxi had something on her mind.

"Okay." He put down the rag.

He said towards the study, "Weihua, your second sister-in-law and I are going for a walk."

"Okay, don't worry about me!"

Lu Weihua's voice came through the door.

As darkness fell, the streetlights along the main road of the compound lit up one after another, casting circles of dim yellow light.

It was after dinner time, and groups of military dependents were taking a walk together.

The children were chasing and playing in the open space.

Ye Wenxi and Lu Weidong walked side by side.

Passing through the bustling area, we gradually walked towards the artificial lake on the west side of the camp.

The further west you go, the fewer people there are.

All that remained was the faint sound of the wind blowing through the withered branches.

Lu Weidong remained silent, waiting for her to speak.

The two walked to a secluded bench by the lake.

Ye Wenxi stopped in her tracks.

She turned around and looked at Lu Weidong.

"Lu Weidong..."

"Is there anything you want to say to me?"

Lu Weidong's breath hitched slightly.

Whatever Ye Wenxi's reason for calling him out.

He should tell the truth.

Without further hesitation, Lu Weidong recounted the whole story from beginning to end.

After they got married, he asked a trusted comrade to keep an eye on what Xu the Cripple was up to.

After meeting Aunt Liu at the market, he became even more worried and went to see her in person.

Pay them, set the rules.

I want to sever this connection completely and never have anything to do with each other again.

He was completely honest, not even hiding the fact that Xu the Cripple had been taken away by someone else.

Lu Weidong finished speaking in one breath.

Ye Wenxi nodded after listening.

His face showed little emotion, but a layer of annoyance lingered between his brows and eyes.

"Wenxi, are you angry with me?"

Ye Wenxi turned to look at him.

"What do I blame you for?"

"Because you kept it from me, to protect me?"

Lu Weidong felt a slight sense of relief, but the weight in his heart hadn't been lifted yet.

Ye Wenxi looked at him: "Don't you want to ask how I knew?"

He thought about it, but dared not ask, fearing that the question would become the trigger.

Ye Wenxi took the envelope out of his pocket.

"The door was stuffed up today; I guess she had someone leave it there."

Lu Weidong took it and unfolded it.

With just one glance, his aura suddenly turned cold.

That face, which was always gentle with her, was now unusually resolute and cold.

A fierce glint surged in his eyes.

That wasn't directed at her.

It's the line of words on the paper, and the person who wrote it.

All possible schemes behind the scenes.

Ye Wenxi's breath caught in her throat as she was forced to breathe by the sudden burst of oppressive aura emanating from him.

She had never seen Lu Weidong like this before.

Like a military dagger suddenly drawn from its sheath.

Cold, sharp, and filled with undisguised killing intent.

She instinctively took a half step back.

Lu Weidong immediately noticed and his gaze softened.

He reached out and gently pulled Ye Wenxi into his arms.

"But why did you go back to Harbin ahead of schedule?"

He asked in a low voice, even though he already had a vague answer in his heart.

Ye Wenxi's voice came from his chest, muffled but very clear.

"I'm going to lure him out."
