I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 995: Broken Throat

Chapter 995: Chapter 995: Broken Throat

"Wife, cheer up, we’re going to burn incense and pray, not to cry at graves,"

Yu Jingting "affectionately" straightened Suizi’s collar.

Today, Suizi was wearing a loose-fitting white shirt with light-colored jeans, her hair done in big waves with a plastic curler and left to cascade down, full of lines. The ensemble looked conservative and romantic at first glance, yet upon closer inspection, it carried a touch of subtle sexiness.

To build her persona as the "damsel in distress" awaiting rescue, she really put in the effort.

Yu Jingting was very pleased with his wife’s versatile styling; his fingers kept poking at her big wavy hair.

"Your little face looks good with the ’ju one sound of hair,’ makes your face look smaller."

Suizi bit his hand in response, making Yu Jingting grimace. The woman had been led astray by Jiaojiao!

"’Ju hair’ is said about dogs! You’re the dog!" Suizi growled at him. Due to a slight cold from the changing season, her voice was hoarse.

"Woof!" Yu Jingting barked in cooperation.

Suizi pouted—jerk!

Her mood was not good at the moment.

Although the idea of wrapping up the case sounded exciting,

just the thought of losing the bet to Yu Jingting made her face fall and unable to cheer up.

Pushing open the door, a chill wind blew into her clothes, making Suizi shiver.

Seeing this, Yu Jingting hurriedly went inside to fetch a thick coat for Suizi.

Suizi stared at the jacket he chose for her, speechless.

"You’re making me wear this bulky thing; I’ve almost become a ball, will those people even notice me?"

"Being a ball is easy to recognize. While everyone else is sleek, you’re a ball—" Yu Jingting dodged his wife’s incoming fist; he was just worried about her catching a cold.

"Give me the wool shawl, the biggest one," she demanded.

Once the wool shawl was handed over, Suizi took it, the white shirt and blue shawl combined with a few casual ties created a layered look.

The nanny picking beans at the doorway saw this and couldn’t help but compliment:

"Are you two going to fire cannons?"

"Fire... cannons?" Suizi stumbled, but Yu Jingting quickly steadied her.

"Yeah, isn’t it like dressing up really nicely and standing with hands on hips on the stage, what’s it called?" the nanny asked.

"What you’re referring to is walking the catwalk, right?"

"Right, we’re off to ’fire cannons’ everywhere," Yu Jingting joked with a smirk.

In the local dialect, firing cannons means, cough cough, well, you know.

Yu Jingting took advantage of the fact that the nanny didn’t understand his hometown dialect and cheekily made a pun.

Suizi pinched Yu Jingting’s waist; remember the image!

The nanny slapped her forehead—yes, that’s what she meant.

"Are you complimenting us or—" Suizi teased.

The nanny waved her hands repeatedly.

"I’m not speaking irony. I genuinely think it looks good. You two look good in anything."

"Thanks a lot. Let’s go, wife, time to fire cannons~" Yu Jingting waved to Suizi.

Suizi rolled her eyes at him and pedaled off on her bicycle.

The couple had to split up and act separately.

The temple Zhang Zheng mentioned was a fair distance from Suizi’s home; biking left her huffing and puffing, but she finally arrived before noon.

After burning incense, Suizi walked out. There were many paths, but to align with Zhang Zheng’s plan, she specifically chose a deserted one.

Zhang Zheng, secretly observing, was extremely satisfied.

He saw it as his own brilliant strategy, and a little help from heaven.

He quickly signaled his brothers to rush forward.

"Hey, girl, all alone?"

"No, I’ve been waiting for you guys," Suizi said, her heart a mix of sorrow and joy upon seeing them.

Happy that she finally didn’t have to walk alone along the mountain road, idiotic as a piebald deer.

Sad that, in the end, she couldn’t escape, and had to go around with Yu Jingting, setting up artillery positions... Oh dear.

Her response stunned the few men, what kind of reaction was that?

"Do you think we’re joking with you? We’re serious! We’re really bad!"

"Oh, how bad can you be, what do you want to do to me?" Suizi asked.

"Of course, rape first then slit the throat!" The leader made a throat-slitting gesture.

"That’s right! Each of us has a record! Little girl, even if you tear your throat screaming, no one will save you!"

As these people recited the lines Zhang Zheng had given them, Suizi cleared her throat gently.

"Tear~Throat~~~~~"

If they wanted her to "scream" her throat out, then she would scream.

The empty mountain road echoed with her shout.

The men froze, and Zhang Zheng, ready to burst out from hiding to play the hero, also stopped in his tracks, not understanding Suizi’s strange reaction.

Suddenly, several men sprang out from behind the bushes wearing plain clothes, moving swiftly, pressing the bad guys to the ground before they could react.

"Don’t move, we’re from the City Bureau!" The leader showed his badge.

Zhang Zheng in hiding realized he had been tricked and turned to run.

Only after Zhang Zheng had run away did Yu Jingting emerge from behind a large rock.

He had just been separated from Zhang Zheng by a single stone, yet Zhang Zheng had never noticed him.

Yu Jingting watched the direction he left, his eyes darkening, but he didn’t immediately follow.

All of those who had tried to attack Suizi were caught.

After thanking the comrades responsible for the capture, Suizi walked directly towards Yu Jingting.

"Really shouldn’t have let that bastard go." If it hadn’t been for listening to his wife, he would’ve chased after him long ago.

He could have beaten him until his butt bloomed.

Suizi shook her head, Yu Jingting catching Zhang Zheng, that wasn’t the best strategy.

"Am I afraid of him?" Yu Jingting scoffed.

"We have more efficient methods," Suizi patted him.

"If you had pinned him down just now, he would’ve known that Jiaojiao is on our side. It would’ve been harder to grasp his motives later. Don’t you think it’s refreshing to keep him hanging?"

By letting Zhang Zheng go, he would never be able to guess if those plainclothes officers who burst out were just passing by or had been prepared in advance.

The psychological battle had begun, and Suizi’s perspective had been broad from the start.

"If his subordinates are tight-lipped and don’t confess, even if he has a stroke of luck, we’ll continue the fight. If his men are not reliable and turn him in, then what has it got to do with me, a poor victim?"

Suizi pulled at the corner of her mouth.

Despite Zhang Zheng’s potential bright future, even a match for the future Yu Jingting, that was, after all, many years later.

Zhang Zheng’s current start wasn’t better than the Yu Family’s, as Yu Jingting had said, what’s there to be afraid of!

"But it’s strange, if he were from the capital circles, we should have found his information by now. After three days of searching, we still haven’t found anything related to him, where does he come from?"

Yu Jingting spread his hands; who knows where that guy sprang from.

Suizi tried to play her role as a military adviser, pondering the future moves, while Yu Jingting’s eyes had already started to roam restlessly.

"Wife, when you were burning incense earlier, what did you wish for?" His gaze settled on a small grove not far away.

"Peace and happiness for the family, what are you asking that for?"

"To help fulfill your wish. Why seek Buddha for joy when you have me? Just say the word, and brother will satisfy you!"

"...???" Suizi suddenly felt an ominous premonition.

"Let’s go! Let me give you some joy!"

Yu Jingting, inspired by the previously mentioned bad guys’ lines, was suddenly playful.

"Even if you tear your throat screaming, no one will come to save you."

Suizi was torn between laughter and tears, wanting to play along with him. Just as she was about to shout, she realized she couldn’t make a sound.
