“Ningning, do you suspect anyone?” Seeing Gu Jia Ning thoughtful, Sheng Ze Xi asked.
Gu Jia Ning stared at him, somewhat hesitant, “I do suspect someone, but I have no evidence.”
“Who is it?”
Gu Jia Ning pursed her lips and uttered the three words, “Li Shuyue.”
“I'm not just saying this because she likes you. Remember the performance on that New Year's Eve? Although Li Shuyue didn't speak to me or contact me then, my intuition tells me she harbors malice towards me. Whether this malice stems from you or something else, I'm unsure.”
In fact, the source of the malice was detected by the Malice Detection Device; it certainly wouldn't be wrong.
But Gu Jia Ning couldn't mention the Malicious Value Detection Device, so she could only say it was her intuition.
Gu Jia Ning took Sheng Ze Xi's hand, “Xi Ge, believe me, my intuition is never wrong.”
Seeing Gu Jia Ning getting anxious, seemingly afraid he wouldn't believe her, Sheng Ze Xi quickly patted her hand, comforting her, “Ningning, of course I believe you.”
“Don't worry, I'll tell the Police Officer about this suspicion and have them investigate Li Shuyue, but…”
Sheng Ze Xi paused, “Li Shuyue's identity is not easy to investigate. Unless there is concrete, easily verifiable evidence, otherwise…”
Gu Jia Ning nodded, “I understand.”
“I'm saying this only to hope you'll be more wary of Li Shuyue. I'm not saying this out of jealousy.”
Gu Jia Ning didn't want Sheng Ze Xi to misunderstand that she was accusing someone out of jealousy.
Sheng Ze Xi smiled, “I know. I still believe you, and I will be careful.”
After saying this, Sheng Ze Xi embraced Gu Jia Ning in his arms.
Gu Jia Ning quietly leaned against Sheng Ze Xi's embrace, pondering the matter.
The human trafficker had someone behind them; this was unexpected, yet not entirely surprising.
She felt Li Shuyue was the most likely suspect.
But as Xi Ge said, even if the Police Officer investigated, the chances of finding out it was Li Shuyue were very slim.
After all, this person had such good disguise, and the contact with the human trafficker never showed their face, making it even less likely that they left any evidence.
However, Gu Jia Ning still heightened her vigilance towards Li Shuyue, and used this to make Sheng Ze Xi wary of her as well.
Otherwise, she feared she might be stabbed in the back by Li Shuyue without even knowing it.
But Gu Jia Ning was curious.
Was Li Shuyue targeting her like this, wishing for her disfigurement and disappearance, truly because she became Sheng Ze Xi's wife, stemming from female jealousy?
If it was just because of that, to hire someone to ruin a young woman's appearance, and even have her kidnapped by human traffickers, then Li Shuyue would be terrifying. But if not, what was Li Shuyue's motive for doing this to her?
Before this matter had a conclusion, something else arrived, distracting Gu Jia Ning from her thoughts.
Because Sheng Ze Xi was going on a mission.
The Heavy Snow Sealing the Mountains, which lasted for two months, had passed, and Sheng Ze Xi had resumed his full-day training; now, he was going on a mission.
Actually, since joining the army, as a military wife, Gu Jia Ning knew that she would eventually face Sheng Ze Xi going on missions.
That Sheng Ze Xi was only now going on a mission, that he could stay home with her for so long, was already quite extraordinary.
As soon as she thought of Sheng Ze Xi going on a mission, Gu Jia Ning couldn't help but recall the scenes of blood and sacrifice she saw in her Future Scene Flash.
Although, when she was reborn, choosing Sheng Ze Xi was partly to avoid repeating the past, and partly because Sheng Ze Xi liked her in both her past and present lives.
She knew that her feelings for Sheng Ze Xi weren't very good at the time, and Sheng Ze Xi also knew this.
So, after their marriage, he had been performing well, hoping she would like him.
This was Sheng Ze Xi's open and above-board strategy.
In fact, Gu Jia Ning had to admit that during these months of interaction, she had gradually come to like him, even deeply depend on him.
Sometimes, just thinking about the possibility of him not being in her life made Gu Jia Ning feel inexplicably anxious.
She couldn't live without him anymore.
She was already deeply entangled in the web of love he had woven, unable to extricate herself.
So, she feared the events in her future vision would happen, she hoped he would be safe.
Gu Jia Ning packed simple clothes for Sheng Ze Xi, most importantly, she packed the five rolls of Universal Hemostatic Bandages for him, and of course, some other necessary pills. Everything Gu Jia Ning could think of, she packed for him.
Sheng Ze Xi quietly watched Gu Jia Ning's busy back. From the moment he said he was going on a mission tomorrow, he had clearly felt Ningning's anxiety.
That anxiety was palpable. He didn't know how to describe it, it was as if Ningning had already foreseen that he might get into trouble on this mission.
Sheng Ze Xi didn't step forward to help. He knew that perhaps only this busyness could calm Ningning's heart a little, making her less anxious.
Until Gu Jia Ning was done packing, Sheng Ze Xi was pulled by her to sit on the kang, “I have something to tell you.”
Sheng Ze Xi sat quietly, watching her open the Bundle and introduce the items one by one.
Finally, there were five things that looked like bandages.
“This bandage has a name: Universal Hemostatic Bandage.”
Universal?
Sheng Ze Xi was slightly puzzled.
“Whether it's a gunshot wound, a sharp weapon injury, or massive bleeding, as long as the person isn't dead yet, still has a breath left, using this Universal Hemostatic Bandage will instantly stop the bleeding and keep the person alive until they reach medical treatment.”
“Take these, there are five rolls in total. You might find them useful.”
When Gu Jia Ning took out the Universal Hemostatic Bandages and introduced them to Sheng Ze Xi, she felt like she was throwing caution to the wind.
After saying that, Gu Jia Ning subconsciously closed her eyes, quietly waiting for Sheng Ze Xi's questions.
Unexpectedly, she didn't hear any questions. When she opened her eyes, she saw Sheng Ze Xi pick up the five rolls of bandages, put them back in her hands, and said solemnly, “Put them away. Don't let anyone see them.”
Gu Jia Ning stared blankly at the bandages in her hand, astonished. Xi Ge's meaning was…
“No, you have to take them.” Gu Jia Ning stuffed the bandages back into Sheng Ze Xi's hands.
Sheng Ze Xi got up and closed the door and window tightly.
Back on the kang again, he looked at Gu Jia Ning, took a deep breath, and said, “Ningning, I know you have something special about you.”
This one sentence caused Gu Jia Ning's pupils to dilate slightly, and then visibly become anxious.
Sheng Ze Xi placed his hands on her shoulders, soothing her emotions, “But Ningning, if you don't tell me, I will never ask.”
Regarding the previous Malicious Value Detection Device setting, a fellow reader made a very reasonable suggestion, thanks to 【Mo Ye Bai Shan】 Baby's suggestion, so I have modified the previous chapters. It is now bound to the Gu Family Home in Huaihua Village. After all, with a bad guy like Wen Zhuqing around, if Wen Zhuqing is within 100 meters of the Gu Family and harbors malice, the heroine will know and can warn her family in time.
