Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Counterattack

Zhang Shuwan shivered immediately. What was going on?

Could something have happened to Jia Ning?

Zhang Shuwan felt a bit regretful. She shouldn’t have left Jia Ning outside alone, especially since Jia Ning was so attractive.

“Jia Ning?”

Zhang Shuwan quickly put on her pants while calling out to Gu Jia Ning.

“Hey, Sister Shu Wan, I’m here.”

Hearing Gu Jia Ning’s response, Zhang Shuwan breathed a sigh of relief. Judging by the sound, Jia Ning should be fine.

Then what was that sound just now!

The bang was so loud that Zhang Shuwan didn’t think it could be her imagination.

Regardless, Zhang Shuwan quickly put on her pants and came out.

“Jia Ning, ah, what’s this?”

Just as Zhang Shuwan was about to speak after seeing Gu Jia Ning, she was startled by the sight of a man lying on the ground.

There lay a tall, skinny man in a gray coat, flat on the ground, eyes closed, with a cloth covering his face.

Beside him stood the calm and composed Gu Jia Ning.

“Oh, this is a human trafficker. He just tried to use this cloth to smother me.”

Gu Jia Ning’s words made Zhang Shuwan’s eyes widen, “What, a human trafficker?!”

“Yeah, ever since we left the state-run restaurant, he had been following us. I noticed him back then. He followed us for over an hour. Just now, when you went into the public restroom, he probably thought the time was right to make his move, so he came out.”

“He tried to use this cloth to smother me. The cloth was probably drugged. Luckily, I was quick and grabbed the cloth from his hand, then turned it around to cover his mouth. After that, he just fell.”

Gu Jia Ning recounted casually, but Zhang Shuwan found it nerve-racking.

Oh my God, a human trafficker!

Moreover, Jia Ning had noticed back at the state-run restaurant and had been followed for over an hour, while she didn’t know anything.

“Jia Ning, you should have told me.”

“If I had known, I wouldn’t have left you alone to go to the restroom. If anything had happened to you, how would I explain it to Battalion Commander Sheng?”

As Zhang Shuwan thought about how she and Gu Jia Ning had planned to visit the county town and ended up with Gu Jia Ning being kidnapped, leaving her to return alone.

What if Battalion Commander Sheng came to her for Jia Ning?

If Jia Ning went missing, Battalion Commander Sheng would probably go mad.

Although Battalion Commander Sheng usually remained calm and restrained, Zhang Shuwan could see from their interactions how deep his feelings were for Gu Jia Ning.

Especially now that Jia Ning was pregnant.

Fortunately, fortunately, Jia Ning was fine and had even “counter-attacked”.

Gu Jia Ning: I just wanted to create an opportunity for this person to make a move alone. How could I tell you?

Moreover, Gu Jia Ning thought that telling Zhang Shuwan might make the latter nervous and give them away, and it wasn’t possible to leave her alone outside to take a risk.

The chances of catching this person would be small.

“Oh dear, Sister Shu Wan, I just thought I could handle it myself.”

“See, didn’t I bring him down now?”

In fact, Gu Jia Ning was indeed confident.

She had first exchanged for a “Freeze for 5 seconds” skill in the exchange system, which cost her 10 points.

As soon as she used this skill, with a thought, the person she looked at would be frozen for 5 seconds.

Although it’s only 5 seconds, there’s a lot you can do.

Prior to this, Gu Jia Ning also exchanged for a “Popeye” skill, which could instantly boost her strength tenfold.

Originally, she planned to freeze this person first and then give him a severe beating.

But upon seeing the drugged cloth in his hand, she changed her approach.

Thus, after freezing him, she grabbed the cloth from his hand and, amidst his shock, covered his mouth and nose with it.

It seemed that the drug on the cloth was quite potent, as his eyes quickly rolled back, and he fainted, collapsing to the ground with a bang.

Immediately afterward, Zhang Shuwan called out to her and came out of the restroom.

Even though the person had already collapsed and Gu Jia Ning felt confident, Zhang Shuwan still felt unnerved.

“Jia Ning, if something like this happens again, you should tell me.”

“After all, having one more person means having one more idea.”

“Really, when we go out together, if something happens to you, I really wouldn’t know what to do.”

“Your Battalion Commander Sheng would probably go crazy too!”

Gu Jia Ning hooked her arm around Zhang Shuwan, “Alright, alright, it’s my fault, I should have told you, I’ll definitely be more careful next time.”

But remembering the promise she made to Sheng Zexi yesterday, Gu Jia Ning felt guilty and rubbed her nose. Oh no, it’s probably going to be hard to leave the house afterwards.

“Spit, spit, spit, there surely won’t be a next time.” They definitely don’t want to encounter traffickers again.

From now on, may they stay safe and sound.

“Jia Ning, what should we do now? Should we call the police?” Zhang Shuwan asked.

Gu Jia Ning nodded, “Yes, call the police.”

Ten minutes later, Gu Jia Ning and Zhang Shuwan arrived at the police station. The man had also been brought in by the police and hadn’t regained consciousness yet.

While Gu Jia Ning was giving a statement, the police, upon learning they were military wives, immediately treated them with much respect.

“Do you know a Battalion Commander named Sheng Zexi?” the young policeman asked.

Gu Jia Ning and Zhang Shuwan exchanged a glance, and Gu Jia Ning replied, “That’s my husband.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Weidong’s eyes lit up, “So you’re the sister-in-law! Pleasure to meet you, sister-in-law. I’m Zhang Weidong, Brother Sheng’s buddy.”

Through Zhang Weidong’s account, Gu Jia Ning learned that Zhang Weidong and Sheng Zexi had been friends for three or four years.

They met because Sheng Zexi accidentally saved Zhang Weidong, and so Zhang Weidong regarded Sheng Zexi as an elder brother.

“I’ve been wanting to see what kind of girl could win over Brother Sheng ever since I heard he got married. Now that I’ve met you, sister-in-law, I understand why Brother Sheng wanted no one but you.”

This beautiful woman remains so calm even when facing a trafficker; that’s impressive.

No wonder Brother Sheng, who is usually so rebellious, fell under her charm.

Knowing it’s a close friend and brother of Sheng Zexi, Gu Jia Ning relaxed a lot and recounted to Zhang Weidong the entire incident with the trafficker.

“… By the way, about the Qin family’s case, do you know of it?” Gu Jia Ning asked Zhang Weidong.

Zhang Weidong, realizing what she meant, nodded, “I’ve handled that case.”

That’s good.

Gu Jia Ning said, “Qin De was planning to sell Qin Tian to traffickers. I’m wondering if it’s the same person this time?”

Zhang Weidong pondered for a moment and noted, “That’s possible. We’ll focus on this angle during questioning.”

After completing her statement at the police station, as soon as Gu Jia Ning stepped outside, she saw Sheng Zexi approaching with a calm expression.

Gu Jia Ning: ?!! How did he get here?

Next to her, Zhang Weidong scratched his head and said, “I notified Brother Sheng.”

Gu Jia Ning: Alright then.

The next moment, Gu Jia Ning found herself enveloped in Sheng Zexi’s embrace as he walked over.
