Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Shameless or Not

“Destabilizing national unity?” Xia Chuyi glanced at He Qing.

He really had the nerve to say that.

She stared at He Qing and asked lightly, “Was it you who reported me? Saying I beat you?”

Being beaten by a woman is hardly honorable.

“Cough, cough.” He Qing covered his mouth, pretended to cough twice, avoided her gaze, and masked his embarrassment.

“What, you reported my sister for beating you?” Zhao Xiaogui was dumbfounded.

Xia Chengzong frowned, glanced at the two police officers and He Qing, and finally snorted coldly, “He Qing, you’re a grown man, how can you say my sister beat you? Could she even overpower you?”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaogui seemed to understand and jumped up, cursing at He Qing, “Exactly, He Qing! You’re a big, burly man and a soldier, yet you claim my sister, a gentle and delicate woman, hit you? You’re shameless!”

The first part made sense, but the second part… Xia Chengzong fell silent.

Xia Chuyi, however, was quite happy.

Hmm, Xiao Gui is such a good kid. I’ll give him an extra chicken leg later.

“Gentle and delicate?” He Qing couldn’t pretend anymore and pointed at his bruised face, “More like a shrew! These injuries on my face were all caused by her!”

“Officer, I testify that it was this person right here, Xia Chuyi, who hit me yesterday.” He Qing turned his head, struck a serious pose, and said to the officer, “This woman is my wife’s sister. She has always been jealous of my wife, so when she ran into me yesterday, harboring dissatisfaction, she attacked me.”

“No doubt, I am a grown man; of course, I could overpower her.”

“But I am also a soldier. How could I raise a hand against a girl? Because I didn’t retaliate, she ended up beating me like this.”

“I didn’t plan to report initially, but then I thought, I am, after all, her brother-in-law, how could I condone this? How could I let her thoughts plummet into the path of crime?”

“So I decided to report to the police because I felt I needed to educate her a bit. Only then will she understand and learn to grow.”

His words were logically sound and conveyed with moral righteousness.

Hehe, am I really supposed to thank him?

Such a lame excuse would not be believed by anyone who knows a bit about the situation, like Zhao Xiaogui.

“He Qing! You scumbag, have you no shame? What do you mean my sister is jealous of Xia Lan?” Zhao Xiaogui’s face twisted with anger, “And my sister holds grudges against you? Ridiculous! If my sister were dissatisfied, would she have broken off the engagement to favor you and He Xia?”

“Really shameless! Thinking we’re young and foolish, huh?”

“Officers, if anyone should be arrested, it should be He Qing, this ungrateful, shameless villain!”

The two officers, clearly not expecting things to turn out this way, glanced at Zhang Xiaoling.

Only to hear Zhang Xiaoling chuckle and say, “Who is right and who is wrong, why not find out slowly through interrogation at the Police Station?”

After all, the decision was made to have Xia Chuyi visit the station.

Her uncle was the chief, and once Xia Chuyi was detained, wouldn’t everyone listen to her?

This, Xia Chuyi was well-aware of, so she started to strategize in her mind on how to avoid going to the Police Station.

“Comrade He Qing, regarding you being a soldier and my actions endangering national stability, I ask you, were you on official duty?” Xia Chuyi ignored Zhang Xiaoling and directly questioned He Qing.

“…No.” He Qing’s eyes flickered, not daring to lie.

“Then, since you were not on duty, how can you claim I was endangering national stability?” Xia Chuyi suddenly raised her voice and sternly questioned.
