"That guy actually gave in? What happened to all that righteous talk before?"
When he heard that, Wu Wen laughed. Before, Rowan had publicly declared he wouldn't get married. He said, "I'm not getting married. If I get a wife, I'd have to spoil and protect her. I don't have time for that."
A lot of people heard him say that, even the leaders. He said it during a matchmaking event.
"Maybe he thought she was pretty. Plus, his mom said she was about to die and tricked him into bringing her back. Probably, after seeing Comrade Lin's face, he agreed right away."
Hearing this wild move, Director Gao's mouth twitched. He could only say, what a bold move—cursing yourself like that without hesitation.
"Let's get back to business. Gao, this time you handled things well. But behind this matter, there's definitely a big fish."
"I kno…" He was about to answer when they suddenly heard fighting sounds.
The two of them rushed out but didn't see anything. Just as they were about to return to the office, they heard it again. Following the noise, they arrived at an interrogation room and saw the broken door. They looked at each other.
Someone saw them and quickly shouted, "The director is here, make way."
Director Gao and Wu Wen walked in and saw the scene inside. A woman was crying, holding a child who was crying loudly—his voice was already hoarse. Three officers were lying on the ground next to Sienna's feet.
Sienna ignored the two who came in. She lifted her foot and kicked another man into the wall. Then she moved forward, kicking them around like a ball.
Seeing this, Director Gao quickly shouted, "Wait, stop! If you keep kicking, someone's going to die."
Sienna glanced at him and really stopped. She said, "Ask those who know what happened. Don't worry, I won't beat them to death."
Then, without waiting for Director Gao to respond, she picked someone up and slapped him across the face. Maybe her hand got tired after one slap. She suddenly remembered the fighting method Meilin taught her during a chat.
She immediately grabbed a stool, bent down, took off her shoe, put her foot on the stool, held the man with one hand, and used the shoe sole to slap him in the face.
Everyone watching swallowed nervously. She looked like a gentle little fairy, but why were her actions so scary? Just watching her slap people made their own faces hurt.
Director Gao saw what Sienna was doing and felt tightness in his chest. He really wanted to know what horrible thing these men had done to make her so furious. If they couldn't give him a good explanation, he wouldn't mind locking them up—attacking officers was a solid crime.
"Who knows what happened?"
"Report!"
"Xiao Yang, you know? Tell us what happened."
"Report, Director. It was Xiao Hu and Xiao Gang. They were interrogating the female comrade while holding the child. Xiao Qian and I were helping hold the baby too. During questioning, the woman said she didn't know anything and kept shaking her head. Later, the baby started crying. They wouldn't let the woman hold him. They let the baby cry and forced her to watch. They told her if she admitted everything and pressed her fingerprint, they'd give the baby back. I grabbed the baby and gave him to the woman, but the child was forcefully taken away again. That's when this female comrade kicked the door down, rushed in, and took the baby back for the woman."
After hearing this, Director Gao calmed down. Go ahead, hit them. Hit them hard. People like that deserve it. He'd spent his whole life protecting the country, and now these rotten officers showed up under his command.
Director Gao turned to Xiao Yang again. "What about the others who got hurt?"
Xiao Yang said, "When she kicked the door down, the noise was loud. Everyone came to check. Some heard it was an attack on officers and rushed in to help. They all got beaten and thrown out."
"So, she beat up everyone in the police station all by herself?"
"Yes, Chief."
"Then why are you okay?"
"Oh, me? At first, the child was crying, so I let them give the child to the female comrade. Later, when this comrade came in and saw what was happening, I quickly took the woman and the child away."
"Ah, Chief, I'm telling you, this comrade is amazing, so cool."
Chief Gao looked at him, not knowing what to say. He was really lucky. With all the chaos and punches flying, he somehow came out unharmed and calm.
"Sienna, stop. If you keep hitting them, something serious will happen."
When she heard that, Sienna stopped. The others finally noticed the sounds of slapping had ended.
"So, Chief Gao, are you trying to protect them now? Let me ask you, is this place full of wolves?"
"First of all, we are military wives. We're not criminals. We're witnesses, even victims. But what did your station do? I doubt you treat real criminals like this."
"That child is still so young. A strange place is scary for them. Don't you know that too much fear, even if they don't remember it later, can still leave lasting trauma?"
"Is this how police should act? No wonder ordinary people like us feel scared."
"You do know this is illegal, right? Attacking police is a serious crime."
"Oh, really? Then let me ask you something. We were kidnapped and called the police. In just two hours, not even enough time for the county police to react, your city station already dragged us here. During the interrogation, your officers were helping the kidnappers. What does that mean? Is the kidnapper your son?"
"Or maybe the kidnapper is the police? Otherwise, how do you explain your perfect timing? You showed up right after the incident to cover it up. No wonder we were treated like this. Tell me, how much money did you make from this? I want to see if it's worth it. If the pay is good and it doesn't take much time, I might as well join you. They said working with the police makes big money and isn't even illegal."
After speaking, Sienna continued beating up the three police officers.
"Hey, Sienna, don't say things like that. We're not like that. Don't accuse us. I promise I'll give you an explanation. Just stop for now."
After a while, when Sienna had hit them enough, she stopped and threw them aside.
She turned and walked toward Meilin. "Sister-in-law, hold Harren. Let's go outside. The political officer will take care of the rest."
Meilin looked at Sienna, then at the political officer, and nodded.
Wu Wen also spoke up. "Yes, you two wait for me outside. I'll be out soon."
After the two women left, Chief Gao looked at Wu Wen. "Are you sure she's not a wild beast? Look at these people, the doors, the chairs. Are you really telling me she never fought anyone in the army?"
"Wu Wen, we need to deal with this. She attacked the police. We can't let this go just like that."
