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

Ye Wenxi turned to run, but the third thug pounced on her with a sinister grin.

With a determined heart, she swung the two heavy stacks of books in her hand and smashed them over!

The thug instinctively dodged, and she seized the fleeting opportunity, charging forward recklessly.

Behind me came a jumble of shouts and the sound of footsteps chasing after me.

...

Lu Weidong drove the borrowed Jeep toward the bookstore, keeping an eye on pedestrians along the way.

It was getting late, and he was afraid the two of them would go astray.

Just as he rounded a bend, a chaotic scene ahead suddenly came into his view.

Ye Wenxi ran wildly down the road, carrying her belongings, with several men who were clearly not good people chasing after her!

A surge of hot blood rushed to the top of my head.

His eyes instantly turned terrifying, and he slammed the accelerator to the floor.

The Jeep's engine roared angrily as it charged toward the group of people!

Ye Wenxi had only one thought in his mind: Run! Run to where there are people ahead!

She could hear the increasingly close breathing and footsteps behind her, and her heart was about to leap out of her throat.

Just when she was almost in despair, a screeching sound of brakes suddenly came from beside her.

A jeep was parked sideways in front of her.

The car door slammed open, and a tall, imposing figure rushed out like a black lightning bolt.

Before she could react, a pair of strong arms had already wrapped her tightly in their embrace, protecting her.

"Ah—!" Extreme fright made her scream and instinctively struggle desperately.

"Wenxi!"

A familiar, low growl, filled with shock, anger, and anxiety, exploded in her ears.

Ye Wenxi looked up and met Lu Weidong's eyes, which were burning with terrifying rage.

"Lu Weidong..."

Her voice trembled with the shock of surviving a disaster.

Ye Wenxi suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, burying her face in his firm chest.

My whole body trembled slightly uncontrollably...

The thugs who had caught up with him suddenly saw a military officer in uniform with a stern face rushing down.

Knowing he had committed a grave offense, he turned and tried to run away.

Lu Weidong gently released Ye Wenxi's arm and shielded her behind him.

The next second, like an enraged cheetah, he took off in a few strides.

He kicked the last person in the leg hard.

The man screamed and collapsed to the ground.

Without pausing, he rushed straight to the remaining thugs and blocked their path.

Seeing that they couldn't escape, the thugs, relying on their numbers, exchanged glances and grabbed bricks from the roadside, throwing them at Lu Weidong!

Lu Weidong's eyes were icy cold as he moved to the side, parried, and seized targets with a speed that was dazzling to behold.

He was knocked to the ground in no time, writhing and groaning in pain.

Seeing that the danger had passed, Ye Wenxi's tense nerves suddenly snapped.

My heart was filled with lingering fear and anger.

She rushed forward and kicked the few people on the ground several times!

"Bastards! Scum! How dare you bully me! I'll crush you all, you sons of bitches!"

She kicked and cursed as she went, showing no mercy with her feet.

Those thugs were already beaten so badly by Lu Weidong that they couldn't get up.

After being kicked so hard by her, he cried out for his parents and rolled on the ground begging for mercy.

Lu Weidong watched as Ye Wenxi stomped and cursed without regard for her image.

That fierceness actually made his tense nerves relax a little.

He walked over, gently wrapped his arms around her from behind, and led her away from the thugs.

"Okay...it's alright now..."

Lu Weidong embraced Ye Wenxi, gently stroking her hair with his hands.

Ye Wenxi was panting as he was wrapped in his arms, her nose filled with his dry, familiar scent.

The anger and ruthlessness that had sustained her receded like the tide, replaced by a surge of immense fear and resentment.

My heart ached, and tears rolled down my cheeks uncontrollably.

Lu Weidong felt her body trembling slightly, so he tightened his grip and gently patted her back to comfort her.

He raised his other hand, gently lifted her chin, and tenderly wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with his fingertips.

Then he lowered his head and gently placed a kiss on the top of her head.

Ye Wenxi's tense body gradually relaxed in his calming breath, and her breathing gradually became steady.

She sniffed and, somewhat embarrassed, gently pulled away from his embrace.

Lu Weidong then turned around, the gentleness on his face instantly fading.

He stepped forward and, like picking up a chick, dragged the tall, thin thug who was the leader off the ground and slammed him against the wall.

His voice was extremely low, yet every word carried a chilling edge:

"Tell me, what were you trying to do just now?"

Ye Wenxi walked over, her voice icy: "Xu Miao sent them."

Lu Weidong's face instantly turned gloomy.

He glanced at the groaning thugs on the ground, his voice cold.

"I've remembered all of you. Now go to the police station and turn yourselves in, and tell them clearly who instructed you."

He paused, and every word he uttered struck the thug's ears.

"If I find out you haven't turned yourselves in, the consequences won't be so simple."

After saying that, he picked up the tall, thin thug and walked back.

"Big brother! Sir! Spare me!" The tall, thin man was so frightened that his legs went weak.

"I was just paid to do a job, to scare her a little. I really didn't do anything! I swear to God!"

Lu Weidong ignored him, shoved the man into the passenger seat of the jeep, and gestured for Ye Wenxi to sit in the back.

The car suddenly turned around, the engine roared, and sped off towards the residential compound.

Upon reaching the gate of the compound, the car did not slow down and drove straight in without even signaling.

The two soldiers on guard were taken aback and quickly caught up.

The jeep braked suddenly, its tires screeching as it came to a stop in front of Xu Miao's house.

Lu Weidong slammed the door and got out of the car. He went around to the passenger side, grabbed the tall, thin man who was trembling like a leaf, and slammed him to the ground.

The two soldiers who had been chasing after them arrived, and upon seeing the situation, immediately saluted.

"Battalion Commander Lu! This is..."

Lu Weidong frowned and pointed at the person on the ground.

"He's harassing military families in the street; he has malicious intentions. Keep an eye on him and don't let him get away."

The guards immediately stepped forward and pinned the thug down.

Lu Weidong, exuding a terrifyingly low pressure, strode to the Xu family's door and pounded on it heavily.

It was a little after 5 p.m., just when people in the compound were getting off work and heading home.

Staff Officer Xu and his family were all present. Hearing the unusual, urgent banging on the door, Xu Miao frowned and ran to open it.

As soon as the door opened, she was overjoyed—it was Lu Weidong!

But then she saw a cold, terrifying rage on his face that she had never seen before.

Her gaze shifted back, and her face instantly turned pale.

The guards were holding a tall, thin thug with a bruised and swollen face who had clearly been beaten up.

Ye Wenxi, carrying her things, stood not far away, coldly watching her.

"Brother Weidong, what... what's wrong?" Xu Miao's voice was a little weak.

Lu Weidong's voice, however, was extremely cold.

"I'm not talking to you, I'm going to find your father."

Hearing the commotion, Staff Officer Xu, who was in the living room, quickly came out.

When I arrived at the door and saw this scene, something felt off.

"Wei Dong? What's going on?"

Lu Weidong didn't answer, but stared at Xu Miao with icy eyes.

"Ask her."

His voice was frighteningly deep: "If she hadn't said..."

He grabbed the skinny, hunched-over thug and dragged him in front of the Xu family father and daughter.

"Let this person who harassed military families in the street and had malicious intentions say it himself."

Staff Officer Xu turned his head and saw that his daughter, Xu Miao, was as pale as a sheet, her lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.

His heart skipped a beat, and he roughly guessed what was going on.

A surge of anger mixed with embarrassment and resentment rushed to his head, and he shouted sharply at Xu Miao:

"Tell me! What exactly happened?!"
