After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1324 - 1323: Coincidence? Chance Encounter? She Doesn’t Believe It

"And you likely don't have much cash on hand, do you?" Xia Chuyi's gaze intensified as she questioned, "Tell me, He Qing, who commissioned you to 'accidentally' cross paths with me here?"

He Qing visibly faltered, his body rigidifying upon hearing Xia Chuyi's direct accusation.

Following this, He Qing managed a strained smile, stammering, "I, I genuinely don't comprehend your meaning..."

"After concluding my service, I relocated to City G for employment..."

"Within City G, as you are undoubtedly aware, opportunities abound, making business endeavors remarkably straightforward!"

As though reciting from a prepared script, He Qing suddenly articulated with ease, "I managed to accrue some wealth in City G, which accounts for my current appearance!"

"Chuyi, how have you been keeping?" He Qing continued, his tone shifting, "Do you realize, I profoundly regret our past separation, truly I do!"

"Chuyi, I wonder if you might consider granting me an opportunity to rectify things and demonstrate my devotion to you?" He Qing reversioned his deeply amorous demeanor.

Simultaneously, he extended a hand towards her.

"What do you think you're doing!" Regardless of knowing the full backstory, the director found He Qing's actions repulsive. He immediately intervened, blocking He Qing and admonishing, "If you dare lay a hand on her again, I won't hesitate to summon the authorities!"

He Qing, seemingly unfazed by the threat, retorted dismissively to the director, "What connection does my personal matter with Chuyi have to do with you?"

"Could it be that you, an elder gentleman, also harbor affections for Chuyi?" He Qing sneered, "Disabuse yourself of that notion; Chuyi and I share a genuine connection!"

He Qing's pronouncements were notably offensive.

With a gesture, He Qing clapped his hands together, seemingly signaling an associate.

Moments later, a middle-aged man emerged from around the corner, catching Xia Chuyi's attention.

The sudden appearance of this individual dramatically shifted the expressions of both Xia Chuyi and the director.

"Are they this well-prepared?" This question crossed the director's mind.

"Where are the bodyguards Xia Chuyi summoned from home? Why haven't they appeared yet?" This was Xia Chuyi's own pressing concern.

He Qing, however, offered no clarification to their growing doubts.

The newly arrived man was, in fact, He Qing's accomplice.

Immediately upon arrival, the man forcefully shoved the director aside, who had been shielding Xia Chuyi.

While the director was not elderly, his physical strength was no match for that of a trained individual.

Consequently, the director was easily propelled away.

Seizing the moment, He Qing prepared to accost Xia Chuyi once more, uttering, "Chuyi, you understand, I truly miss you, profoundly miss you, incessantly miss you..."

With a lecherous glint in his eyes, He Qing lunged towards Xia Chuyi.

Xia Chuyi narrowed her eyes, focusing her resolve, and prepared to retrieve the pepper spray she carried for self-defense.

However, before Xia Chuyi could enact her plan,

"What do you think you're doing!" A stern voice boomed from the adjacent corridor.

Swift footsteps echoed, and several uniformed military personnel burst onto the scene, rapidly incapacitating both He Qing and his accomplice, restraining them firmly.

"Hmph, attempting lewd acts in broad daylight?" The authoritative voice spoke again, "Take these two away, administer a firm lesson, and then escort them directly to the Police Station!"

The speaker issued their commands with righteous indignation.

Having delegated the task, the individual turned their attention towards Xia Chuyi and the others.

As the two parties finally made proper eye contact,

"Oh, Young Madam Huo?" The newcomer expressed surprise, "It is you who is here?"
