Chapter 587 - 587 Affair
587 Affair
Xia Zhe glanced sideways at Qiao Yu who was standing behind him. Chen Hu immediately understood that it was about this woman, but why was he with another woman? Could it be that he was having an affair outside!
“Commander Chen Hu… Uncle Hu, this is Qiao Mei’s youngest aunt, Qiao Zhuang’s daughter. Her family is forcing her to marry an old man. I understand that it’s a high-priced betrothal deal and she has nowhere to go. I hope you can help,” Xia Zhe said sternly.
Only then did Chen Hu feel relieved. As long as he did not fool around behind Qiao Mei’s back, anything could be discussed!
However, he also knew what kind of person Qiao Zhuang was. Asking him to help Qiao Zhuang’s daughter was akin to asking him to die. He still remembered how Qiao Zhuang treated Qiao Mei back then.
“No, this person bullied Mei Mei previously. I won’t help her,” Chen Hu said stubbornly as he secretly pulled Xia Zhe over.
He remembered this person. Back then, the betrothal gifts that Xia Zhe had given Qiao Mei had all been taken by this girl using a trick. If he had not asked his team to follow Qiao Mei to get them back, the things would already belong to Qiao Zhuang!
He would never help such a person!
“Uncle, just think of it as helping me. Otherwise, she will continue to follow me.” Xia Zhe looked troubled.
Chen Hu looked at him and then at Qiao Yu behind him. He patted Xia Zhe’s shoulder confidently and said, “Leave it to me. I’ll definitely help her well. You should go on your way quickly.”
Xia Zhe smiled and nodded. He saluted Chen Hu and got ready to leave. Qiao Yu hurriedly went forward to grab Xia Zhe’s hand.
“Are you going to abandon me like this! Didn’t you say that you would bring me with you!” Qiao Yu’s teary acting would melt the hearts of many men.
If not for the fact that Chen Hu knew the inside story, based on what Qiao Yu just said, many people would definitely misunderstand that Xia Zhe was a sanctimonious person.
Xia Zhe frowned and avoided Qiao Yu’s hand. He said, “Please respect yourself. I didn’t say that I would bring you with me. This is all I can do for you. As long as you explain the issue to Chen Hu properly, he will help you.”
“Don’t go!” Qiao Yu wanted to continue chasing after Xia Zhe, but Chen Hu immediately sent someone to block her way.
As long as he was around today, he would not let this “vixen” ruin Qiao Mei’s happiness!
He would tell Qiao Mei about this matter later and take credit for it. At the same time, he would also tell her about how infatuated Xia Zhe was with her. It would be killing two birds with one stone. This way, if Qiao Mei was happy, she may give him a few more portions of pickled vegetables!
“Miss Qiao, it’s too late for us to help you resolve this matter now. Come in with us and sit for a while. We’ll send you back at dawn,” Chen Hu said with a dark expression.
Qiao Yu hugged the bag in her arms tightly in fear. There were only men in their troop. If she went in with them, would she still be able to come out?
“Don’t be afraid. As long as we’re around, no one will hurt you. I’ve briefly heard about what happened just now. It can be considered that your father broke the law. As long as you tell us everything properly, we will help you,” Chen Hu said.
Qiao Yu had no choice but to follow them into the lounge.
The lounge was located on one side of the main entrance of the courtyard. It was specially prepared for the two teams who patrolled at night. During their break time at night, they could even take a nap here.
Qiao Yu hid in a corner of the room in fear. Chen Hu did not care about what she did as long as she remained in the room.
There were only a few men chatting inside the room.
“You guys go out for a while. I have something to ask this young lady,” Chen Hu said.
The men hurriedly took their things and went out to stand guard. They did not know why Chen Hu brought a woman back in the middle of the night, but based on Chen Hu’s character, he would definitely not do anything rash.
“Young lady, tell me about it,” Chen Hu said as he sat on the chair.
Qiao Yu cowered in the corner and replied shakily, “I… I’m fine…”
“Why are you so afraid? Don’t worry, we’ll help you if you have any difficulties,” Chen Hu said.
“I don’t have any difficulties. Let me go,” Qiao Yu begged.
“Then why are you following him?” Chen Hu asked.
Qiao Yu immediately put on a pitiful expression and leaned against the wall with tears in her eyes. She acted as if Xia Zhe had done something unspeakable to her.
