Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 286 - Ambushed

Chapter 286 -286: Ambushed

The fifth day of the new year.

Su Meixi had finally finished her Spring Festival shift.

This evening, she was walking home with a colleague from her unit.

This colleague was named Wang Bing, 33 years old, also a Military Wife, living inside the Military District with her, and Su Meixi got along with her extremely well. Since they were close in age and both without children, they often chatted about preparing for pregnancy.

“I’ve been married for four years, and I still haven’t gotten pregnant,” Wang Bing said as she walked. “I’m starting to suspect that I’m infertile.”

“Ah? Have you checked for the reason?” When Su Meixi asked, she was also worried about herself.

“I’ve had it checked, it might be because I took birth control pills too often. My damn man doesn’t like to use condoms; alas, this birth control thing, it’s women who suffer. Let me tell you, no matter how much you don’t want kids, don’t take birth control pills.”

“I rarely take them,” Su Meixi said.

Gu Wei always used condoms. Since they’d come to Yun City, they’d given up on birth control altogether; of course, because Gu Wei was busy, there wasn’t much time for them to be intimate.

Wang Bing said, “My mother-in-law used to nag a lot, and she kept urging me to drink traditional Chinese medicine. But for some reason, she’s stopped nagging recently, and I always feel like she’s up to no good.”

“Up to what kind of no good?” Su Meixi asked.

“Not quite clear. My mother-in-law is the kind of person who loves to meddle in other people’s business. If she’s not causing trouble, it’s definitely abnormal.”

Su Meixi laughed: “Anyway, she doesn’t live with you guys, so if you don’t see her, you won’t be annoyed.”

Wang Bing sighed, “It’s not that simple. Let’s not talk about this anymore, it’s irritating.”

The two of them reached a fork in the road. Just then, Wang Bing received a phone call. The director wanted her to return to the hospital, saying there was an issue with her attendance.

Wang Bing hurriedly apologized to Su Meixi, “Sorry, the director suddenly asked for me. It might be because I took too many days off this month; I need to go back and check with him.”

“Okay, then you go,” Su Meixi said.

They parted ways, and Su Meixi walked home alone.

When she reached a secluded spot, she suddenly felt something was off.

She was approaching the corner near the Military District’s outer wall. The street lights were dim here, and since it was dinnertime, there were hardly any people out for a walk, making it very quiet.

She often took this route and yet, tonight as she walked here, she suddenly felt a chill, as if she had a very bad premonition.

Perhaps due to experiencing many dangers, her body had developed a crisis awareness, instinctively reacting when confronted with danger.

At this moment, her ears perked up; she watched every direction and listened to all sides, but she continued to walk as if nothing was amiss.

When she reached the corner, she stopped.

She had a feeling that danger was just ahead.

Indeed, seeing that she had not passed by, a man wearing a mask peeked out, seemingly glancing casually at Su Meixi.

He was tailing her!

Su Meixi took out her phone to make a call.

She called Wang Bing.

With Gu Wei not at home and Wang Bing having just left, Wang Bing was the closest person to her at this time.

“Wang Bing, I seem to have run into some trouble. Could you bring someone over? I’m at the corner,” she said.

“Ah? Okay, I’m on my way.” Wang Bing had just arrived at the hospital entrance; not sure whom to ask for help, she saw a male doctor from another department leaving work and immediately sought his assistance.

The male doctor, upon hearing Su Meixi was in trouble, followed Wang Bing there without hesitation.

However, when Wang Bing and the male doctor arrived, they saw two shady-looking men lying in front of Su Meixi, both moaning and groaning in pain.

Of course, Su Meixi was not in a good state either. She was gasping for breath, and as soon as Wang Bing showed up, she looked completely depleted.

“Meixi, what happened?” Wang Bing asked.

Panting, Su Meixi like someone who survived a catastrophe, said, “Call… call the police!”

…

A bunch of people were called to the nearby police station for questioning.

A policeman was scolding the two thugs, “You picked on her? Do you know who she is? She is a Military Wife! Of course, it doesn’t mean you can pick on others if they are not Military Wives, but anyway, you guys just wait to go to jail!”

The thugs were nervous, but they didn’t seem to fear going to jail, insisting they were just basking in lust, trying to intimidate Su Meixi.

The police found items like a snakeskin bag and straw rope in the thugs’ bags, which were tools for committing crimes. The nearby surveillance camera, by coincidence, had broken right at that time.

If it had not been for Su Meixi’s persistent practice of self-defense and Sanda, the outcome would have been unthinkable.

Fortunately, she had called Wang Bing for help; otherwise, others might have thought that it was she who had bullied the two thugs.

When the police came over to comfort Su Meixi, they said, “These thugs are repeat offenders. Don’t worry, we will definitely punish them with the law.”

But Su Meixi had a hunch, “Is it possible that they were instructed by someone?”

“We can’t guarantee that right now. We need to carefully check their recent call records, plus their bank transactions or cash exchanges. As soon as we have results, we will notify you immediately.”

“Okay,” Su Meixi nodded.

Leaving the police station, Wang Bing asked Su Meixi, “Meixi, you said you suspected they were instructed by someone, have you offended anyone recently?”

Su Meixi shook her head.

Speaking of offending people, the first would be Gu Wei’s enemies; the second… she thought of Xi Wanlin.

But without evidence, she couldn’t make unfounded accusations.

She smiled and said, “I’ll ask my husband when I go back. I’ve been hurt several times because of him.”

Wang Bing sighed, “Being a Military Wife is really not easy, especially for your husband, whose tasks are so perilous.”

“You’re telling me.”

…

Somehow Gu Wei was notified, and he called early the next morning, “Ran into danger again?”

“Not exactly. Those two thugs had a worse time; they got beaten up pretty badly by me. My combat skills have gotten stronger. Give me another year and a half, and I could take on five at a time.”

“Not bad, you still have the mood to joke, it shows you’re fine. When I get back, I’ll teach you a few tougher moves. Of course, you should also work on your strength. Men and women are naturally different in strength; you can’t overcome them with technique alone.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you to come back. Have you decided yet? Where are you planning to stay?”

Gu Wei said, “If we stay in Yun City, then we’ll need to buy another house. Which house do you like?”

“The villa next to Zhen Chi. I like looking at the lake.”

“No regrets? We have the opportunity to go to Bei City and go back to Feng City.”

“No regrets. I like Yun City now,” Su Meixi said.

…

Gu Wei’s transition notice came through very quickly.

He joined a certain commission, changing his military uniform for a white shirt and black trousers, the basic attire of a public servant.

Su Meixi felt a brief sense of loss.

As she adjusted Gu Wei’s shirt collar, she asked, “Do you regret leaving the army?”

Gu Wei smiled and said, “How could I? Gold shines no matter where it is.”

Although he was still very fit, he was no longer suited for performing highly dangerous tasks due to multiple injuries.
