Chapter 1040: Go with the Flow 1
Witnessing this scene, those who followed Li Chengdong, like Guo Guangcheng, had jelly legs and stood rooted to the spot.
They showed no intention of helping, nor any desire to break up the fight, their eyes wide with a fear even greater than that displayed on Li Chengdong’s face.
Li Chengdong held his chin in one hand and pointed at Lu Jiang with the other, his narrow eyes filled with venomous resentment. This made Guo Guangcheng and the others inwardly curse their misfortune. They had indeed warned him about the man he was dealing with, but still, he dared to be disrespectful. Wasn’t this asking for death?
As for Lu Jiang’s actions towards Li Chengdong, not a single person present thought it was inappropriate. If a man’s wife is molested and he swallows his anger, he’s nothing but a coward, a laughing stock.
Li Chengdong’s words might not have been explicitly crude, but in that era, they were certainly considered grievous harassment.
Feng Qingxue shook off her aunt’s hand, which was trying to pull her back, and stepped forward to tightly embrace Lu Jiang.
"Ajiang, calm down! If you get punished by the military because of this, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life!" Feng Qingxue was both angry and anxious. She knew all too well the rules of the military and was worried that an enraged Lu Jiang might go too far. Regardless of whether Li Chengdong was injured, if he complained to the military, at the very least, Lu Jiang would be reprimanded, or at worst, dismissed. Years of effort could go down the drain. "Hitting someone is not the way to solve problems. Ajiang, I am also a soldier. Since Li Chengdong has insulted us with his foul language, the state should handle it!"
