Chapter 10 : Can’t stand the smell of fish?

Li Xueqiu didn’t understand what was happening. She only felt that the previously lecherous eyes had turned sharply critical.

It was as if, in an instant, she had gone from being a charming and seductive woman to a criminal. Just as she was thinking this, she heard someone shout, “There is an enemy spy here!”

As soon as this was said, the entire hotel was thrown into an uproar.

At this time, the people present were all upright, righteous members of society, and what they hated most were spies who tried to destroy their country.

Now, hearing that there were spies in the hotel, how could they tolerate it?

“Where are the spies?” Someone said, rolling up his sleeves to catch them.

“Here!” Someone pointed at Li Xueqiu and shouted, and more people began to gather, looking like they would never let the spy escape.

At that moment, Li Xueqiu realized that the spy they were talking about was actually her.

Looking at the crowd of angry people, her face suddenly turned pale.

“Everyone, listen to me, this is a misunderstanding!” Yu Zhengjun blocked Li Xueqiu behind him, and the protected Li Xueqiu seemed to have grabbed onto a life-saving straw. While pulling at Yu Zhengjun’s clothes, she cried out that she was wronged.

“I’m not a spy, how can you slander me?”

Her charming and moving look, coupled with a panicked expression, made her seem pitiful.

But the angry crowd seemed unaffected by her beauty.

“You dare to quibble? You’re clearly wearing a necklace from overseas.”

It wasn’t bought from the Friendship Store, which proves there’s an overseas connection?

“I’m not, I don’t…”

How could Li Xueqiu know who designed this necklace? She only knew it looked good, so she wore it.

At this time, faced with the angry eyes of the crowd, she panicked. But she reacted quickly and almost instinctively pointed the blame at Su Ranran.

“Since the person wearing this necklace is an enemy spy, what should we call someone who even knows the designer?”

Isn’t it more suspicious to know the name of a designer from the other side of the ocean so well?

After hearing this, everyone’s attention was successfully diverted.

Everyone looked suspiciously at the thin figure who had already stood outside the crowd, with a straight man standing next to her.

Hearing this, Su Ranran wasn’t panicked at all, but calmly said, “I’ve been to the Friendship Store, where there are magazines that can be casually flipped through. This necklace won an international award, so I have some impression of it. Additionally, my husband is a soldier. Everyone should know that military families undergo political review, right?”

Upon hearing this, the suspicious eyes of the crowd turned into admiration.

“So, she’s a military wife, no wonder she’s so principled.”

Who doesn’t know how difficult it is to be a military wife? The husband is rarely home, and she has to manage everything at home on her own. No wonder this female comrade looks so thin.

Shen He hadn’t expected his wife to get into trouble so soon just after he went to buy a meal. His face became very grim. He carefully shielded Su Ranran behind him, his sharp gaze sweeping over the woman in strange clothes.

“Whether she is a spy or not, the comrades from the Security Bureau will find out after an investigation.”

Upon hearing this, Li Xueqiu and Yu Zhengjun’s faces changed at the same time!

“Brother Shen, you can’t send Xueqiu to the Security Bureau. She’s my fiancée! How could she be a spy?”

Yu Zhengjun looked at Shen He with a pleading expression, hoping he wouldn’t press the matter for the sake of being in the same brigade.

“Xueqiu was wrong just now. She shouldn’t have upset my sister-in-law. I apologize to my sister-in-law on her behalf. I hope Brother Shen can show some leniency.”

It sounded as though she was persecuting Li Xueqiu out of personal grudges.

Su Ranran couldn’t help but smile sarcastically.

No wonder the two of them were such close allies in her previous life. It turned out they were the same kind of people.

“That’s not what she said. So many people were here just now, and they heard her admit that the necklace was bought from the Friendship Store, but she didn’t know that the Friendship Store required foreign exchange coupons, and she didn’t know where the Friendship Store was located. She didn’t even know these things, but she was able to get a genuine necklace from an international master. Isn’t this suspicious enough?”

It’s not that Su Ranran is particularly skilled in distinguishing things, but rather that Li Xueqiu is too proud.

Maybe it’s because her behavior has always been out of line, but nothing has ever happened, so she is becoming bolder.

After hearing Su Ranran’s analysis, everyone couldn’t help but nod.

“Yes, where did this necklace come from?”

“And those rings, where did a country girl get the money to buy them?”

“Go to the Public Security Bureau with us and explain it clearly.”

As he spoke, someone stepped forward to take her away.

But Yu Zhengjun was tall and strong, and he pushed people aside, preventing them from reaching Li Xueqiu, who was protected by him in the corner.

It was unclear how long the stalemate lasted, but suddenly someone outside the door shouted, “The police are here!”

Hearing that the police were coming, everyone became more and more excited.

“Comrades from the police, come and arrest someone. This female comrade is very suspicious.”

A total of four or five police officers entered the hotel. Upon hearing this, they went straight to the corner without needing further direction. The police officers were indeed professional at making arrests.

Three of them worked together to hold Yu Zhengjun and move him away. The remaining two quickly apprehended Li Xueqiu.

The onlookers couldn’t help but cheer for the efficiency of the police officers.

“Unfair! I am innocent! I’m not a spy… Woo woo woo…”

After being arrested, Li Xueqiu cried bitterly, trying to make the police feel pity. But the police didn’t change their expressions and directly escorted the two away together.

“Su Ranran! You bitch! You’ve wronged me! You’re going to get into trouble… Um…”

Seeing that there was no way out, Li Xueqiu’s face twisted with hatred. While being escorted away, she cursed at the top of her voice. But after a few curses, she suddenly groaned, as though something hit her, and she almost fainted from the pain.

Su Ranran looked at the man beside her who withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, and couldn’t help but remain silent.

But Shen He, without changing his expression, asked in a low voice, “Are you scared?”

Hearing this, Su Ranran almost laughed.

Just now, he ran so fast that she had no time to react, and he had protected her outside the crowd. How could anyone scare her?

“I’m fine, but I’m hungry. Let’s eat quickly.”

After dinner, they could buy tickets.

Shen He nodded and returned Su Ranran to her previous seat, then went to take the food he had just bought.

Su Ranran, now seated, noticed something… a piece of jade under the table?

Seeing the familiar lotus shape, Su Ranran’s eyes paused.

Then, she bent down and picked up the jade. As soon as it was in her hand, its warmth made it feel precious. Wasn’t this the jade she accidentally lost after going to the countryside? How could it be here?

Realizing that Li Xueqiu had been sitting here earlier, Su Ranran frowned. In the end, she didn’t say anything. Under the cover of the table, she put the jade into her space.

At this moment, Shen He returned with food.

He had ordered braised fish, snowflake pork soup, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, and a cabbage.

“So much?”

Su Ranran was surprised.

After all, meals these days are served in large portions, and one pot of food is more than enough for two people.

Would they really be able to finish all this?

“Eat first.”

Shen He didn’t say much but stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish belly, and put it in her bowl.

Hearing this, Su Ranran had to swallow the words on her lips. Anyway, if she couldn’t finish it, she could just save it for later.

Thinking this, she picked up the fish in her bowl. But just as she was about to put it in her mouth, an uncontrollable nausea suddenly surged up. Su Ranran’s face changed. She put down her chopsticks, covered her mouth, and hurriedly ran out!

Shen He’s face changed! He rushed after her as well.
