Chapter 274 - 273: Strike Out
Xia Xiao was moved and said, "We will soon be husband and wife, Brother Gao. If you have any ideas, you can tell me, even if it’s doing something bad, as long as Brother Gao wants to, I’ll accompany you."
Gao Jiaxing laughed and patted Xia Xiao on the head, "What are you fantasizing about? I’m a soldier, and I don’t do bad things."
Xia Xiao chuckled, but in her heart, she was determined to keep a close eye on Gao Jiaxing; she really feared that Gao Jiaxing would risk himself for Ge Lai again.
The first time Xia Xiao saw a marriage certificate from this era, it didn’t have a photo of the couple, just a piece of paper, a simple statement like a certificate of merit.
Gao Jiaxing treasured it like a gem and said, "Finally, I can tie you to myself."
Xia Xiao joked, "Do you want to shrink me down and then carry me around in your pocket?"
"If only that were possible," Gao Jiaxing said, regret evident on his face.
Xia Xiao couldn’t help but laugh; she was speechless.
When they returned from the county town, they found the production team was very lively—people from Red Star Production Team had come causing a commotion.
Originally, they came to search for Ge Lai, but upon hearing of Gao Jiaxing’s return, Liu Haihua insisted that Gao Jiaxing was hiding Ge Lai.
Gao Guoqiang was not one to be trifled with. Today was his son’s big day, and Guangming Production Team coming to make trouble made him angry, "Liu Haiguo, I regarded your father as a true man, honoring him for his character. Today is Jiaxing’s happy day, and you cause such a disturbance without evidence. Don’t you hold Guangming Production Team or me as the team leader in regard?"
If it were someone else, they might not have the capability, but Liu Haiguo knew all too well the abilities of Gao Jiaxing from childhood to adulthood.
"What, you want to search just like that? Who do you think you are?" At this moment, Gao Jiaxing’s sisters and their families had come over; Gao Jiazhi had gone over yesterday to inform them, and today both families rushed over.
"What do you want with me?" Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao returned.
"Brother Gao," said Liu Haiguo, smiling awkwardly. Seeing Gao Jiaxing’s crisp military uniform and Xia Xiao’s beauty beside him, Liu Haiguo’s eyes nearly popped out.
Xia Xiao, with a look of disgust, stepped aside and used Gao Jiaxing’s body to shield herself, disliking Liu Haiguo’s gaze. At this point, seeing Liu Haiguo and his group come to demand a person, Xia Xiao hoped in her heart that Ge Lai had already left, wishing he was already gone.
"What’s going on here, what are you doing? Are you getting ready to fight with Guangming Production Team?" Gao Jiaxing frowned and sternly said, facing Liu Haiguo, he no longer had the demeanor of good brothers from the past, but instead showed an imposing and commanding presence.
"That’s not the case," Liu Haiguo started to say, but Zheng Xianghong interrupted: "Jiaxing, don’t bother with him. He probably knew you were getting married and deliberately came to stir up trouble."
There and then, Zheng Xianghong, pulling Liu Haiguo aside, said, "If you tell Jiaxing and ruin his wedding, I won’t let this go."
Liu Haiguo forced a smile; Liu Haihua couldn’t hold back any longer, "Gao Jiaxing, have you seen Ge Lai? If you have, hand him over quickly."
"What happened to Ge Lai?" Gao Jiaxing asked Liu Haihua with a stern face, "He is your man, you’re asking me for him, what does that mean?"
"I haven’t seen him, I’ve been enlisted for two years, and haven’t come home once, I just returned yesterday afternoon, and you’re already asking me for someone, is Gao Jiaxing that easy to bully?" Gao Jiaxing glared fiercely, sweeping his gaze over Liu Haiguo and Liu Haihua.
"No such thing," Liu Haiguo said.
He then quickly added, "It’s a misunderstanding, Brother Gao, don’t take it to heart, let’s go look elsewhere."
"Since you suspect, then go ahead and search the house," Gao Jiaxing said.
Liu Haiguo waved his hand, "No need to search, I believe you."
Liu Haihua said, "Since we are here, we naturally have to search. Otherwise, how can we prove that Gao Jiaxing has no connection to Ge Lai?"
Then Liu Haihua went into the Gao family house, to which Gao Jiaxing said, "Dad, let them in."
Speaking of this, Gao Jiaxing said, "If nothing is found, you owe me an apology, the Gao family owed an apology, and Guangming Production Team owes an apology."
"Humph," Liu Haihua snorted lightly but still led people inside.
Liu Haiguo didn’t step forward, his gaze occasionally shifting between Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao, feeling the gap between them, which now seemed even more distant.
Soon, Liu Haihua and her group didn’t find Ge Lai at the Gao family’s home, but when they tried to leave, the people from Guangming Production Team stopped them.
"What do you mean by this?"
When Guangming Production Team’s members became assertive and enclosed them, refusing to let them leave, Liu Haiguo and Liu Haihua became anxious.
"Apologize!" Gao Jiazhi said, "You think you can stir up trouble in Guangming Production Team and then just walk away?"
"Apologize, apologize, " echoed the people from Guangming Production Team.
"I’m sorry."
"Not sincere enough. Louder."
The Guangming Production Team has never been one to be pushed around, and the faces of Liu Haiguo and Liu Haihua turned as red as the liver, while some of the young men and women from Red Star Production Team, feeling impulsive, started fighting directly with the peoples of Guangming Production Team.
Immediately the members from both production teams were fighting each other, Gao Jiaxing did not stop them, wishing to go ahead and teach Liu Haiguo and his sister a severe lesson.
"What kind of thing has Liu Jiefang given birth to."
"Yes, if Liu Jiefang knew from his grave that his son was such a thing, he’d be turning in his grave."
...
Now in Guangming Production Team, the siblings Liu Haiguo and Liu Haihua were extremely unwelcome.
So now, the people from Red Star Production Team were beaten out by Guangming Production Team, each one having a bruised face, and this time Liu Haiguo and Liu Haihua suffered a massive loss of face.
"Brother, Gao Jiaxing must be hiding Ge Lai," Liu Haihua said, her hand touching her painful face.
