Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s-Chapter 734 Swap Houses

Qian Xiue, no matter how angry she was, had to call loudly for help when she saw her niece faint.

But Lu Yichen’s courtyard door was still locked, and Xie Changzheng had no choice but to speak up, "Deputy Director Lu, please open the door first. I’m really sorry about what happened today."

As a deputy director, even if Lu Yichen felt upset, he definitely had to show some restraint, so he went forward and unlocked the main gate, and Qian Xiue asked a few kids from the house to help carry Qian Caihong back home.

Once the situation was explained, Lu Yichen said to the onlookers outside, "Disperse, all of you."

Qiao Dajun was then taken back to the station, and since Lu Yichen was also a victim in this situation, he did not directly get involved in dealing with it.

Since it was a crackdown period, if Qian Caihong insisted that she had been sexually assaulted, Qiao Dajun would probably have ended up getting shot, and how to handle it afterward would be a matter for the person taking over the case.

Luo Qiao, however, did not step half a foot into the courtyard again. When the onlookers had dispersed, Luo Qiao had Stone go in and get some items for her, and then she left the police family housing complex with Stone.

As she left, she clearly told Lu Yichen that she would not come to this house again, just thinking about it made her feel disgusted.

People in the family housing complex generally only lock the front doors, but Lu Yichen has the habit of locking every room. Why was that one room not locked yesterday?

It was because Luo Qiao had asked Lu Yichen to set up that room as a study. Due to insufficient lighting, they’d enlarged the windows and replaced the frames. The room had just been painted, and one of the walls even had paint-decorated images. To let the paint smell dissipate faster, they had left the room door open.

Once everyone had left, Lu Yichen immediately sought out the leadership, because there was one more set of housing at the end of the row with the same layout as this one, and he had only been allocated that one when he applied previously.

But now that would not work, as Luo Qiao clearly rejected this house. If she refused to come over in the future because of it, keeping the house would be meaningless, so he approached the leadership to state his intentions.

The house next door had previously been occupied by a deputy director who had been transferred away, leaving it vacant. Since Lu Yichen had asked for it, they agreed to it as well.

That same day, he got the keys and contacted the workers who had originally worked on his house, instructing them to come over the next day to renovate following the original design.

After making arrangements, Lu Yichen called Xie Changzheng and Qiao Anming over, and also invited the Director of the political department Liu Qingsong and his wife as well as the bureau chief Zou Junsheng and his wife to show them the renovation expenses bill.

After crossing out the items that could be moved, he handed over the bill for the remaining expenses, amounting to two hundred and thirty-eight yuan, demanding that their two families pay it without discussion.

Lu Yichen did not need the money, but he was truly disgusted. Since he had been disgusted, he did not want anyone else to be comfortable either.

Lu Yichen said, "My fiancée definitely won’t come to this house anymore, so I’ve applied for the one previously occupied by Deputy Director Yao. It has the same size and structure as this courtyard.

I won’t mention the time and effort spent, given we are colleagues, even though I am unhappy, I can only look past it for your sakes, but I can’t let my fiancée suffer for your sakes, nor can I pay for the mistakes they made."

Xie Changzheng and Qiao Anming knew they were in the wrong, and since Lu Yichen’s actions were justified—any reasonable person would do the same—it was indeed irksome. Moreover, the incident was not yet resolved, and if Deputy Director Lu intervened, it would certainly not bode well.

After receiving the money, Lu Yichen didn’t bother with their mess anymore, as he was on duty the next day.

The Qiao and Xie families somehow communicated and eventually settled on holding the wedding for the two in seven days. Qian Caihong was crying and unwilling, but after Qian Xiue’s brother-in-law came and took a high bride price, they dropped the charge of sexual assault against Qiao Dajun.

Qian Caihong’s parents gave her two choices: one was to marry Qiao Dajun and live in Capital City, where she wouldn’t have to reside in the police family housing; Qiao Dajun’s biological father had a small house, and they could live there after getting married.

The second option was to return to their hometown with them, where they would quickly arrange a marriage for her, leaving the choice entirely up to her.
