Chapter 1412: Enemies on a Narrow Road 4
Public Security?
Lu Jiang expressed great surprise, "Jiu Hong works at the police station?"
"Yes," Li Shuitian answered for his wife, a smile appearing on his face, "and he happens to be my subordinate. I, coming from the military, specifically sought out work at a police station. Comrade Lu Jiang, I haven’t cast aside the training I received in the army, so with the help of my comrades-in-arms, I became quite valued at the police station."
Cao Hongzhu interjected, "Shuitian is quite impressive. In less than a year, he cracked quite a few cases, both big and small, and was promoted to deputy chief. Jiu Hong found this job through connections this year, isn’t he now under Shuitian? While in the military, he always wanted to replace Shuitian, to the extent of harming us as a couple to this extent. It’s ironic that now after running into his own troubles, he has to follow Shuitian’s commands. This is the cycle of karma, retribution never fails! I just don’t know why he left the military. If I did, I would have to trumpet it far and wide. That Lu Zhaodi is simply mad, telling everyone that Shuitian had to leave the army because he was reported and unfairly branded with crimes."
Mad? When Cao Hongzhu reported her own family and the Qi Family, wasn’t she also like a madwoman?
Lu Jiang glanced at Cao Hongzhu but said nothing.
Cao Hongzhu was smart enough to understand the meaning behind Lu Jiang’s gaze. She said embarrassingly, "I was truly half-mad back then. When I thought of my poor child, I went crazy and made the regrettable decision to report your family. But I don’t regret reporting the Qi Family’s misdeeds at all."
"The people involved in that case got what they deserved. After the investigation, our family was able to live a peaceful life. Even if others report us for living lavishly, the authorities won’t believe it," Lu Jiang commented sensibly, "It’s just that Comrade Qi Gang is getting on in years. Even with recent good behavior, he hasn’t been restored to his former position and is likely to retire soon."
