After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1328 - 1327: Preparation

The bodyguard, looking quite abashed, was led away from his post.

At this very moment, the director cast his gaze upon the individuals present, a dawning realization evident in his eyes, and he began to speak: "This..."

The director intended to inquire of Xia Chuyi precisely what had transpired.

However, just as the words were forming on his lips, a flicker of hesitation crossed his face.

And within that brief pause, he found himself unable to voice the question.

"Chuyi, that matter you asked me to investigate," the director finally declared with utmost seriousness, "I assure you, I will uncover the truth with all haste!"

Regarding the request Xia Chuyi had made, the director was fully committed to assisting her as much as he possibly could.

As for the absolute truth of the situation, the director felt an implicit understanding that further interrogation was unnecessary.

Xia Chuyi was keenly aware of the director's unspoken intentions.

"Thank you, director," Xia Chuyi expressed her genuine gratitude to him.

Upon returning to her residence, Xia Chuyi spent some time contemplating, ultimately deciding not to disclose her suspicions regarding Guo Jiumin being the mastermind to her family.

Even to the bodyguards, Xia Chuyi merely stated that she had encountered an individual who was bothering her.

And the person causing her distress, she explained, was none other than her former fiancé, He Qing.

The Ou Family was understandably incensed upon hearing this news.

Yet, amidst their collective anger, Mrs. Ou's brow furrowed in deep thought.

"Recently, an overwhelming number of unfortunate events have befallen our household," Mrs. Ou stepped forward, taking her daughter's hand, and said, "Chuyi, another day, I shall escort you to the temple. We will pray to the Buddha and seek divine blessings, ensuring you are shielded from further misfortune!"

While Xia Chuyi found her mother's suggestion somewhat quaint, she recognized the genuine concern behind it and replied, "Of course, Mom. I will do as you say."

Meanwhile, Ou ZhenTing also wore a troubled expression, stating, "Let us discuss this matter further at a later time. These are tumultuous days, and it would be prudent for Chuyi to limit her excursions for the immediate future."

"Chuyi, aside from the movie outing that has already been arranged,"

"Please endeavor to avoid unnecessary outings whenever possible."

"I shall arrange for additional security personnel to discreetly accompany you on those occasions."

Ou ZhenTing's tone conveyed a profound sense of gravity.

Mrs. Ou nodded in agreement, remarking, "You are quite right... I will make a trip first. Later, once Shiqian's current assignment is concluded, I will have him accompany Chuyi. After all, this entanglement involves the couple confronting a malevolent force."

It was evident that the Ou Family still attributed the source of these troubles to Huo Shiqian.

Xia Chuyi chose not to elaborate further on the matter.

She was concerned that if she revealed the possibility of a targeted attack, her family might resort to confining her indoors entirely.

Previously, Xia Chuyi harbored a strong desire to identify the individual orchestrating these events.

Now, with Guo Jiumin emerging as a prime suspect, Xia Chuyi's focus shifted towards understanding the extent of Guo Jiumin's knowledge – specifically, how he came to possess "certain" information?

More precisely, what was the significance behind Guo Jiumin's particular actions and pronouncements?

Did he, too, harbor awareness of Xia Chuyi's closely guarded secret?

Or did Guo Jiumin, much like herself and Xia Lan, possess some form of "extraordinary" past experiences?

Could such a possibility truly exist?

If individuals with such unusual backgrounds were commonplace, would the world not have plunged into utter chaos long ago?

Yet, based on everything Xia Chuyi recalled, aside from the events she was directly involved in, the majority of the world remained unchanged.

The only discrepancies from her memories were the unexpected plot twists in the director's film and the unforeseen complications surrounding Li Kexin's real estate venture.

These two specific incidents appeared to have been influenced by external, human intervention.

Furthermore... Xia Chuyi's mind suddenly flashed to the fact that Li Kexin's property project was situated in G City.

With this crucial detail in mind, Xia Chuyi recognized the imperative need to devise a method for re-establishing contact with Guo Jiumin and diligently investigate his background.
