Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 506: The Probe into Peng Huijing

Anyway, she was definitely not someone who could be compared to the current military commander’s wife. In fact, when people mentioned the current military commander’s wife, many would almost show undisguised disdain.

With that thought in mind, the bodyguard grew even more dissatisfied with Su Xiaoxiao, who was sitting in the back. He felt that this girl, who didn’t know anything, was stabbing a knife right into the military commander’s heart.

Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun both noticed the heavy resentment in his eyes. But there were some things that they had to ask, and this was the perfect opportunity to do so. If they didn’t ask now, they didn’t know when they would have the chance again.

However, Zhang Zhiyuan remained silent for the rest of the journey. From Su Xiaoxiao’s angle, she could see his composed face, which didn’t seem to show anger, but rather as if he were deep in thought, reminiscing about something. Occasionally, a faint smile would appear at the corner of his mouth.

The car slowly drove into the compound, where Grandpa Zhang and Granny Wang were already waiting eagerly at the gate. As soon as they saw the car approaching, the two of them immediately smiled and walked over to greet them.

"Xiaoxiao, you’ve finally arrived! How does it feel to be married? Does your family have any issues with Jiang?" Granny Wang asked with a bright smile.

Although Jiang was from a rural area in the North, the two old folks could tell at a glance that he wouldn’t stay farming in the village forever. The only question was whether Xiaoxiao’s parents would give them a few more years to be together.

"No, my parents and the rest of the family like Yexun a lot," Su Xiaoxiao replied, her ears reddening a little when she mentioned the wedding. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Grandpa Zhang, with his hands behind his back, gave Jiang Yexun a few scrutinizing glances before grumbling a bit, "You two should have told us about your marriage earlier. If you had told us sooner, we could’ve gone to Shanghai to attend your wedding and also spend the New Year there..."

As Grandpa Zhang spoke, he glanced at his son. Seeing his son’s slightly changed expression, he decided not to say any more.

Su Xiaoxiao seemed not to notice anything, instead, her face turned more serious as she sighed deeply, "Actually, the reason I rushed to get married was because of an unexpected incident. My dad was wrongfully accused of stealing a truckload of steel from the Steel Mill, and he had to prove his innocence before the New Year. My dad is just an ordinary worker, how could he have done something like that? So, we decided to hurry and get me married off, so that if anything happened to him, it wouldn’t drag me, a married woman, into the mess. We had to juggle wedding preparations with trying to clear my dad’s name. It wasn’t an ideal situation, but we had no choice."

As she spoke, Su Xiaoxiao’s gaze was fixed on Peng Huijing, who had been lowering her head the entire time, giving no indication of any change in her expression. Perhaps because Su Xiaoxiao’s gaze was too intense, Peng Huijing finally lifted her head and met Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes.

She then sneered in disdain, "Why would anyone wrongfully accuse your father? It’s possible that your father was the one who stole the steel himself!"

"My dad is the director of the Steel Mill, earning about 170 yuan a month, and a truckload of steel only costs about 400 yuan. It’s at most two and a half months of his salary. He has no reason to steal steel from the factory," Su Xiaoxiao’s face immediately darkened.

Peng Huijing shrugged, "Two months’ salary is still quite a bit. What if there were some things that weren’t discovered?"

"So, Aunt Peng, why do you harbor such strong animosity toward my father, especially when you’ve never even met him? Just like the spies hiding in Shanghai, they risk exposure just to frame my dad. Do you know that the National Security Office has been investigating for so long, and they’ve arrested a bunch of people, but they still haven’t figured out who was behind this? What is the purpose of all this?" Su Xiaoxiao’s gaze sharpened, her brows furrowed in direct, unguarded scrutiny.

Peng Huijing’s confident expression faltered for a moment, before she forced out a smile that looked more like a grimace. "I don’t know about all of that. I just think there must be a reason behind everything..."

"Well, it’s a coincidence, because we also believe that there’s a reason behind all this. That’s why we’re going to continue investigating this matter until we find out who’s behind it," Su Xiaoxiao replied, her smile turning slightly malicious, as if she had some kind of hidden agenda.
