My little country wife whom I haven't seen for eight years has come to join the army

Chapter 158: Captain Lu was reported and arrested

This sentence was like a thunder in the cold winter, exploding in everyone's ears.

Zhou Ruoyu was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. After calming the two restless babies in her belly, she calmed down and asked, "Xiao Jiang, what's going on?"

"I don't know the details. The regiment commander had originally invited me to join him for the reunion dinner. When we were about to leave, the comrades from the security department suddenly came and said that the regiment commander had made a mistake and asked him to cooperate."

In the coldest days of winter, Xiao Jiang actually ran out of sweat to deliver the letter, which shows that his loyalty to Lu Qinchuan is extraordinary.

"Don't worry, I'll go to the security department to check it out now!"

Captain Zhu was shocked but still had a lot of doubts. Lu Qinchuan made a mistake? That was absolutely impossible.

But if the person has been transferred to the Security Department, there is no way he can see him. He has to go to Chen Guozheng for help overnight.

"Brother Zhu," Zhou Ruoyu lifted his heavy body and moved in front of the crowd, "I'm afraid it's too late. The security department might come to our house soon. Let's wait and see what happens."

Lu Xiaohua's eyes were red, but he remained remarkably calm. He stepped forward, held Zhou Ruoyu's arm, and whispered, "Everyone in the military knows what kind of person my fourth brother is. He'll be fine. There must be another reason."

Zhou Ruoyu glanced at her and her heart trembled for no reason. Apart from herself, the only person who could bring disaster to Lu Qinchuan was Lu Xiaohua!

Just as she was feeling anxious, the sound of a car roared from afar and stopped in front of the Lu family's gate.

After a flurry of footsteps, a group of tall, muscular soldiers pushed open the door and entered. One of them saluted the crowd. "We are from the Military Region Security Department. We are investigating Lu Qinchuan's involvement in speculation and profiteering. Excuse me, is there anyone here who is a family member?"

Captain Zhu walked to the front of the group, pulled a whole pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket, and stuffed it into the officer's hand. "The family member is a woman about to give birth. Don't scare her. Let's talk outside if you have anything to say."

The officer thought about it and nodded lightly, and then Captain Zhu pulled him out of the main room and talked about things in the yard while smoking.

Watching the fireworks flickering outside, Zhou Ruoyu's mind raced. She turned to look at Lu Xiaohua, frowning and asking, "What on earth did you do in Luancheng? Are you hiding anything from us?"

Being stared at by her like this, Lu Xiaohua's eyes flickered and his eyelashes trembled constantly.

"Tell me quickly, otherwise how can you think of a way to save your fourth brother?"

"...I, I run a breakfast stall in the alley next to the county party committee compound, selling...spicy hot pot." Lu Xiaohua's voice was as low as a mosquito's hum, but it made Zhou Ruoyu's scalp tingle.

"I've already told you that these matters need to be discussed with your fourth brother before we decide..."

But now that things have come to this, it's too late to make amends. She bit her lower lip tightly and stared at the people standing in the yard.

Soon, Captain Zhu walked in with a pale face and said directly to Zhou Ruoyu, "Sister-in-law, Lao Lu was reported for being involved in business, so he must have been framed."

"Do you know who it is?" The world is so small, and she doesn't know if this person is the one she guessed in her heart.

"Qian Hu!" Captain Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and clenched his fists. "I don't know what got into this guy to suddenly show up and report to the military district under his real name."

"Then what are they..." Zhou Ruoyu pointed at the officers outside the window with her chin, "What is their purpose in coming to my house now?"

Captain Zhu sighed heavily again, "They're going to take you and Xiaohua with them! You're already in this state now, and I've been doing you a favor. But Xiaohua can only go with them for a while."

"It seems Qian Hu reported it only after he had sufficient evidence. He's quite sinister, not letting us live for years!"

Zhou Ruoyu narrowed her eyes. The firecrackers that were lit outside the window from someone's house were reflected in her eyes, lighting up for a moment and then dimming in an instant.

Apparently, the only person who could have witnessed such a scene without panicking was Xu Zhe, as he had participated in many arrests as a public security officer.

Although Lu Xiaohua had been operating illegally without anyone knowing, it was not enough to incriminate him. It was obvious that the whistleblower was just using Lu Xiaohua's case to bring down Lu Qinchuan.

Xu Zhe comforted Lu Xiaohua: "I think they're just asking you to cooperate with the investigation. In fact, you've been setting up the stall without telling anyone. Just tell the truth. Even if you know it's a malicious report, don't say anything unnecessary, understand?"

Lu Xiaohua choked up and nodded. She regretted it so much. When Zhou Ruoyu reminded her, she even felt that Zhou Ruoyu was jealous of her ability to make money.

The officer outside walked in and said in a clear voice, "Comrade Lu Xiaohua, please come with us. Comrade Zhou Ruoyu, due to his health, please stay home. Someone will come to inquire about your situation tomorrow. Please cooperate with us!"

Without any sound of resistance, Lu Xiaohua lowered her head and was about to follow those people out. Xu Zhe subconsciously grabbed her hand.

During this relationship, Lu Xiaohua's heart was always half open and half closed, and she always gave Xu Zhe a feeling of being close yet distant.

At this moment, when she was most helpless, the moment Xu Zhe's warm big hands held her, her tears welled up in her eyes.

After all, she was just a young girl who had not seen the world. When she didn't know whether there would be thorns or a smooth road ahead, she met this pair of strong hands and accepted this dull person at once.

"I'll be fine. Help me take care of the house."

She sniffed heavily, pursed her lips and looked at Zhou Ruoyu's big belly, then turned around and followed the officers out of the yard and got into the car.

Zhou Shufen stepped forward to take over from Lu Xiaohua and support Zhou Ruoyu. No matter how calm she appeared, she could not hide the panic in her tone: "Xiao... Xiaoyu sister, Captain Lu is a lucky person, and nothing will happen to him."

Zhou Ruoyu swallowed hard and said, "It seems that we can't be too merciful. If we leave a way out for the bad guys, we might end up cutting off our own escape route."

"Xu Gongan." She looked at Xu Zhe, "Can you help me get a list of all the staff members of the Xia County Party Committee compound tonight?"

"Yes!" Xu Zhe stood straight and answered clearly. "The public security system is now gradually entering the roster of residents and employees of enterprises and institutions. The county party committee compound is the first batch. I'll go back and get it now!"

Captain Zhu grabbed Xu Zhe, who was about to turn around to get his clothes, and said to Zhou Ruoyu, "Sister-in-law, isn't this a violation of the rules? That's the list of party and government agencies..."

"First of all, we all know that someone is targeting Lu Qinchuan, so we have to be aware of this before we can deal with it. Furthermore, if he truly loves Xiaohua, then violating the rules isn't illegal, so why not?"

Xu Zhe pursed his lips, nodded heavily, put on his coat, turned around and went out.
