Chapter 1036: Three Makes A Real Tiger

Lu Xingzhi did not give up. He went to the study and the living room to search again, but he still could not find the gift that Jiang Yao had hidden away.

It seemed that she had taken it with her.

Lu Xingzhi smiled playfully. Perhaps Jiang Yao did not want him to peek at the gift. Did she know that he would look for it the moment she left?

So, Jiang Yao had taken his birthday present away for two days?

Lu Xingzhi left home with a slightly disappointed expression. On the way, his face was sullen, and everyone seemed to avoid him. Everyone knew that he was in a bad mood.

His wife had wanted to divorce him, and she had gone back to her hometown. If anyone dared to provoke Sergeant Lu at that time, they must have had too much courage.

When Lu Xingzhi returned to his office, Commissar w.a.n.g went to look for him and asked about the couple’s situation. “Have you coaxed your wife? The army has sent some people to your hometown to investigate the situation. Talk to your wife, and after the investigation, you will be cleared of all wrongdoing.”

“She went back to her hometown to wait for the divorce proceedings,” Lu Xingzhi replied indifferently. “She’s gone. She asked me to apply for leave to go back and handle the formalities.”

After he said that, Lu Xingzhi sat on the chair. His voice was cold and hard as he said, “My wife is only 19 years old. She has always been an obedient daughter and an outstanding student. She grew up in a simple and good environment, and she never suffered such humiliation. I don’t think you need me to explain how a rumor would take a life of its own after so many people spoke about it—three times makes a real tiger. I have become a living example of that. We can investigate the matter and clarify it, but we can’t do anything about other people’s perceptions. Military conduct has always been like that. My wife was right; it is quite scary.”

After he said that, Lu Xingzhi looked as if he was very busy. Commissar w.a.n.g was met with a cold rebuke. He looked at Lu Xingzhi helplessly, but the man held a pen and looked like he was ready to write a report. So, Commissar w.a.n.g could only leave.

After Commissar w.a.n.g left, Lu Xingzhi did not stay in the office for long. He left about ten minutes after that. No one knew what he wanted to do.

Meanwhile, in Jin City, Zhou Weiqi came home with a pair of red lanterns. Just as he was about to tease Jiang Yao about the lanterns, he saw her put the lanterns in the corner of the living room. Then, he saw Jiang Yao’s pet slap a hole on the lantern before it went into it.

“Jiang Yao, this lantern—” Zhou Weiqi pointed at the lantern in the corner; he was speechless. “Don’t tell me that you wanted me to buy this lantern as a toy for your pet!”

“Why not?” Jiang Yao nodded. “If Moe likes this toy, he can use it as a temporary nest. It’s pretty good.”

What else could Zhou Weiqi say? As long as she was happy, then everything was fine. He was thankful that the woman and the pet did not belong to him.

“Right, did you tell Eldest Brother and the others about this?” Zhou Weiqi asked. “Someone wants to go against Third Brother, and it has happened in the army. This is not a small matter.”

“I don’t know. If Xingzhi felt that it was necessary to tell Big Brother and the others, he would probably do it. If he didn’t say anything, then he probably felt that it was unnecessary. Big Brother seems quite busy recently.” Jiang Yao shook her head. That was all she could do; the rest would depend on Lu Xingzhi’s arrangements. She trusted him.
