Chapter 725: Don’t Do Anything Unnecessary
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Upon seeing the approaching security officer, Su Shen was suddenly reminded of a recent incident. He had noticed his car being followed and had managed to divert Gu Zi’s attention to discover that the trackers were military personnel. The female soldier standing before him now was the very same security officer from that day.
As for the name Hu Jie, it was not particularly unique, but it was one he was familiar with.
Hu Jie was the daughter of his mentor, and they had interacted a few times during his time in the military. Even though they were not close, he had never quite remembered what Hu Jie looked like. To him, there were many performers in the cultural work group at the time, and he did not bother distinguishing one from another.
However, now that her name had been mentioned, he could not fail to recall Hu Jie. It dawned on him that she was the one behind the tracking incident, causing his brows to furrow even deeper.
Why had Hu Jie suddenly appeared in Guangcheng? What was her purpose?
Protectively standing in front of his wife, Su Shen cast a wary glance at the woman in uniform and sternly said, “Deputy Commander Hu’s actions are inappropriate. I indeed need an explanation, but not here in my home.”
Hu Jie had just reassured herself, thinking that Su Shen’s attitude would change once her subordinate had announced her name. However, to her surprise, he became even colder. Was he not at all surprised by her appearance? Did he despise her that much?
Taking a deep breath, Hu Jie lifted her delicate nose slightly. “Commander Su, there’s no need to hold a grudge over past matters. You know I had no control over that incident. But I didn’t marry anyone else, that’s the effort I’ve made.”
Su Shen was utterly baffled. He was indifferent to her, what grudge was she talking about? It was merely because she had sent someone to track him that he demanded an explanation. He had never considered that Hu Jie was the mastermind behind it all.
Was she trying to explain her previous disregard for his will? How unnecessary.
Su Shen’s gaze swept over her coldly. “I’m saying that you’ve disrupted my normal life by coming here to explain. You can leave now. And let me give you a piece of advice as a fellow soldier, never do anything unnecessary.”
Inside the house, Su Bing and Su Li noticed their father’s unusual mood and took their younger sibling, Su Le, out to play with Big Yellow in the courtyard.
They knew a bit about the woman named Hu Jie. She had given up on their father and now wanted to ruin their parents’ relationship. She was a bad woman.
They needed to give their parents some space. They hoped their father would explain everything to their mother properly. But judging by their mother’s expression, she didn’t seem too angry. But wasn’t it strange for her not to be angry?
After finishing her tea, Gu Zi looked at Su Shen with a smile, her tone devoid of anger but filled with curiosity. “So that was your mentor’s daughter, Hu Jie. She’s quite a beauty with a big personality. With such great qualities, you really weren’t tempted?” Gu Zi felt that even as a woman, she was captivated by Hu Jie’s beauty.
Su Shen looked at Gu Zi, his furrowed brows finally relaxing a bit. He said earnestly, “Gu Zi, I promise I was never tempted. As for her showing up here, I can explain…”
Upon hearing this, Gu Zi waved her hand dismissively. She had seen how cold and distant Su Shen had been towards Hu Jie. She was not an unreasonable person. Seeing was believing, and there was no need for him to explain. “Su Shen, I trust you. You don’t need to explain.”
