I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 35: You Help Me and I’ll Help You

Chapter 35: Chapter 35: You Help Me and I’ll Help You

"Help you?"

"Yes!" Suizi nodded vigorously.

Catching a thief requires not only intelligence but also physical strength. She can’t fight, and she is pregnant. The only one who can really help her is Yu Jingting.

Suizi felt that he was quite passionate and manly just now, so she thought he would be willing to help her.

"I’m not getting involved." Yu Jingting immediately refused and headed home at a brisk pace.

Suizi followed at his pace. He walked a few steps faster, turned his head to see her trotting after him, and was angry.

"Do you want to shake the child out of your belly?"

Suizi was easily scared. He yelled, and her eyes were welling up, all natural and instinctive reactions that bypass the brain entirely.

Yu Jingting was so angry that he lifted his hand, pointing in the direction of the squad department.

"If you cry again, I’ll break the windows of Li Youcai’s house!"

Suizi’s tears hadn’t even formed yet, but his words made her laugh.

"Why would you break his windows?"

Humph, wouldn’t you be happy if I didn’t do something to his house? That’s what Yu Jingting was thinking, but he kept a tough face.

"Keep moving!" A tough guy absolutely cannot console his wife, he definitely can’t.

"Oh." Suizi bowed her head. Except for the tears occasionally scared out of her by him, she was not really afraid of him now.

She couldn’t understand why. He was so fierce.

Perhaps it was because in her previous life, she had witnessed him crying like a child while holding her photo...

When you know someone’s bottom line, no matter what they do, you find it adorable and never annoying.

But why did he refuse to cooperate with her?

Yu Jingting, who prided himself on being the toughest guy, sneakily continued to glance at her out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing that she kept her head down and said nothing, he thought she was wronged, the belief that he would absolutely not console her that he had a second ago, the next second he crumbled it up and threw it in the ditch.

"I’m not angry at you, I just don’t want to deal with these people’s mess. Do you know how much they spoke ill of me behind my back?"

These people cursed him behind his back, used him to scare their children, regardless of whether or not he had done something bad, everything was blamed on him.

Why should he help these people catch the thief?

"Just mind our own business, got it?" Yu Jingting tapped her nose a little, conveniently helping her brush away the loose hair by her cheek.

His tone was quite fierce, but his actions were gentle.

Suizi felt a warmth in her eyes, not out of fear, but out of empathy.

"You’ve been wronged a lot, haven’t you?"

"Damn it!" Yu Jingting’s ears reddened. He turned his back to her and strode towards home, "It’s nauseating! Follow up, quickly!"

Suizi followed him with small steps. Whenever she lagged behind, he would secretly slow down and wait for her.

Suizi’s face brightened with a tiny dimple, and she seemed to understand how to get along with Yu Jingting.

Not far away, there was a ferocious dog barking loudly and violently.

Yu Jingting saw her lingering, thinking she was scared by the barking.

"What are you afraid of? Dogs that bark don’t bite - hey, what are you laughing at?"

Suizi laughed so hard she almost cried. His sentence was just right for the moment.

Yu Jingting was confused. Women, they are really strange.

"Yes, I’m not scared, I won’t be scared anymore." Suizi looked at Yu Jingting’s handsome face and spoke with a double entendre.

Lee Youcai, who was peeping not far away, observed the couple’s interactions.

He couldn’t hear their conversation, only watching Yu Jingting’s physical movements. Seeing him being handsy and sporting a ferocious face, he naturally assumed Yu Jingting was scolding Suizi.

When Yu Jingting played with Suizi’s hair, Li Youcai saw it as a slap in Suizi’s face.

Heh heh, domestic abuser Yu Jingting, you’ll get what’s coming to you!

Li Youcai watched sinisterly as the two of them left, one in front of the other. Suizi was so scared that she dared not walk side by side with him. What right do these two have to claim any virtue?

What Li Youcai didn’t see was that after they left his line of sight, Yu Jingting bent over.

"Get on my back."

"Why?" Suizi’s face flushed.

"There’s a big patch of ice ahead, your shoes have no grip. Hey, why are you laughing! I’m not that kind of henpecked man who gives in to his wife’s every word, I’m just concerned about the baby!"

Yu Jingting, feeling his attempt to explain only made things more suspicious, saw that his wife was still covering her mouth and giggling. Without any hesitation, he picked her up and forcefully carried her on his back.

Humph, his showing of masculinity wasn’t about to frighten her! Yu Jingting tried to maintain his dignity, putting on a facade of coolness.

Suizi was still staring at the big dog in that yard. The dog was still barking but didn’t bite.

"Brother Youcai~" Lun Lamei’s voice resounded from the department’s entrance, drawing Li Youcai’s gaze away from Suizi.

"Why are you here?" Fearful of being seen by others, Li Youcai quickly dragged Lamei to a deserted corner.

"Brother Youcai, I’m scared!" Lamei buried her head in his chest, and Li Youcai quickly averted his gaze. He really didn’t want to see the dandruff on Lamei’s head.

"A bad guy showed up, I saw him, and it scared me to death!" Lamei’s hands gripped Li Youcai’s waist tightly.

"You saw it?" Li Youcai’s eyes flashed.

Lamei nodded vigorously, genuinely frightened.

She had been driven out of the village by Suizi and sent to her grandmother’s place in nearby Yuanjia Village by her mother. But after only two days, she ran back.

"I was passing by the maize field when I saw a man, who was doing something terrible to a young adolescent maiden. Oh, my God, it scared me to death." Lamei closed her eyes as if she could still hear the young girl’s cries.

She didn’t dare to stay there and ran back to Li Youcai that very night.

"Brother Youcai, let’s hurry up and get married. As an unmarried maiden, I’m afraid of being targeted too!"

Li Youcai nearly choke on the steamed bun he ate earlier.

She’s, a maiden?!

She had the gall to claim such a thing. When Lamei first came after him, she was no maiden, having had illicit relationships with who knows how many men. He’d have to be an absolute fool to marry such a woman.

Although Suizi had been married before, she’d only been with Yu Jingting, and to top it off, Suizi was quite the money-maker. He wouldn’t mind Suizi’s past.

"Brother Youcai?" Lamei called out a few times, but Li Youcai ignored her, making her anxious.

"Did you see the perpetrator’s face clearly or not?"

"I only caught a side view. He seemed rather old."

"The person you saw, it was Yu Jingting." Li Youcai said, gripping Lamei’s shoulders.

"It wasn’t him. The man I saw was older, even had greying hair!"

"Lamei, do you want to marry me?"

Lamei had dreamed of it.

"Then you must do as I say. Go out and tell everyone that the person you saw was Yu Jingting."

Li Youcai’s devious plan was to place the blame on Yu Jingting.

There’s a saying: "Three men make a tiger." Even if Lamei doesn’t spread it, people would believe it.

Yu Jingting’s reputation had been stinking in the village for more than a day or two. Given that forensic profiling at the time wasn’t very advanced, framing Yu Jingting would be plausible. Suizi, despite her intelligence, would be unlikely not to believe it given her timid nature.

If things go his way, Yu Jingting would be put away directly, and Suizi would be his.

Li Youcai made up his mind, he needed to act fast on this plan. He aimed to have Yu Jingting imprisoned before the new year, in time to feast on the ribs Suizi had bought.

The dowry money that Suizi had redeemed from her family could be enough for him to start a business. He would give Suizi a good life!
