Zhu Xia knew exactly what kind of man her husband was. As long as she didn’t catch him red-handed, she had always chosen to turn a blind eye.
But the shocking sight in front of her—those “white, stacked flesh-like shapes”—finally shattered her long-suppressed emotions.
She screamed, brandishing a pair of scissors, and charged forward, stabbing the moment Zhou Xue had just sat up and was frantically looking for her clothes.
The scissors landed squarely on Zhou Xue’s face.
“Ah—my face!”
Zhou Xue, still naked, let out a piercing scream.
The blade had punched a hole right into her cheek—blood gushing out.
Everyone present froze in shock. Some stared at Zhou Xue’s exposed body, others at the bloody wound on her face. Even the police officers were stunned by Zhu Xia’s ferocity.
But Zhu Xia wasn’t done. Years of resentment erupted all at once. She vented all her humiliation from the Liu family onto Zhou Xue.
Another stab—this time piercing Zhou Xue’s right eye. Blood spurted everywhere, splattering onto the terrified Liu Jiapao beside her.
Liu Jiapao immediately wet himself from fear.
Just as Zhu Xia was about to stab him next, the police finally snapped back to reality and rushed forward to restrain her.
The scene descended into chaos. Zhou Xue passed out from pain.
“Call some female officers! Dress her first and take her to the hospital! Arrest the attacker Zhu Xia and Liu Jiapao! Everyone else disperse immediately!”
“If anyone keeps watching, you’ll all be detained!”
Zhao Long stood in the crowd, covering his eyes tightly, carefully recording everything to report back to the young miss.
After all, he was still an “innocent young man”—there were things he absolutely should not see.
After hearing Zhao Long’s report, Jiang Ning gave a satisfied thumbs-up.
“Good job.”
“When Grandpa Jiu comes back, I’ll definitely speak well of you.”
Zhang Hu and Zhao Long were moved to tears. This was the best reward they could get.
Now that Zhou Xue had been dealt with, it was time to handle the father—Zhou Changxun.
A thick stack of investigation documents had just been delivered by the people sent by He Linzhou. After reading them, Jiang Ning decided to write an impeachment report.
A person who sold out national and collective interests didn’t deserve to live freely—he should rot in prison.
She immediately sat down, picked up pen and paper, and wrote an eight-page detailed denunciation letter.
“Zhang Hu, personally deliver this to the police station director. He will handle it fairly.”
In the original story, the director was upright and incorruptible, cooperating with the military to solve many major cases.
With this letter, Zhou Changxun would have nowhere to run.
Zhang Hu carefully tucked the letter into his clothes and left at full speed.
“Miss, dinner is ready.”
Wu Yi, wearing an apron, brought the dishes to the table.
“Then let’s eat first. Tomorrow we’ll go to the Jiang family old residence.”
Jiang Ning waved for Zhao Long and Wu Yi to sit down.
“What are you two standing there for? Do you think I can eat all this alone?”
Zhao Long stiffened. “W-we don’t dare sit at the same table as you, Miss… we’re afraid we won’t be full.”
Wu Yi nodded in agreement. “We’ll eat separately.”
Jiang Ning sighed helplessly.
“Where is He Linzhou? Why isn’t he back yet?”
Just then—
Footsteps sounded outside.
“Speak of the devil…” Jiang Ning muttered.
He Linzhou strode in, rubbed her hair gently, then lowered his head and kissed her soft red lips.
“Wife, I missed you.”
“I missed you too.”
The two embraced, while Wu Yi and Zhao Long silently buried their heads in their bowls, pretending not to see anything.
After a long affectionate exchange, they finally went to wash up.
Jiang Ning blushed and pushed him lightly.
If they didn’t eat soon, she felt like she might be the meal instead.
He Linzhou obediently said, “I’ll listen to my wife.”
That night, they went to bed early. He Linzhou was leaving for a one-week mission the next day—this was their last night together for a while.
“I really can’t bear to leave you,” he said, holding her tightly. “This is the first time we’ll be apart for so long since we got together.”
Jiang Ning felt reluctant too.
“When you’re on mission, don’t just think about me. Be careful, understand?”
“I will.”
“Then… do I get a pre-departure reward tonight?”
Desire flickered in his eyes.
Jiang Ning buried her face in his chest and nodded shyly.
Meanwhile, at the Zhou household, chaos erupted.
“Zhou Xue and Liu Jiapao committed indecency in public—they’re being detained!”
Wei Yurou cried until her eyes were swollen.
“This must be Jiang Ning’s doing!”
Zhou Changxun’s face darkened.
“Yes… I underestimated that unfilial daughter.”
Zhou Yaozu clenched a dagger.
“I’m going to kill her myself!”
Just as they were about to rush out, the police arrived.
“Are you Zhou Changxun?”
“I am.”
The officer’s voice turned cold.
“Jiang Ning has officially reported you for selling national and collective interests and colluding with foreign forces. You are now under arrest for treason.”
Everything collapsed in an instant.
Wei Yurou screamed hysterically.
“No—impossible! It must be Jiang Ning framing us!”
