Chapter 879: Chapter 879: Hesitant due to Concerns Over Valuables 7

In terms of work, Jiu Hong was astute and capable, and he was not one to fear death on the battlefield; it was just that his character left much to be desired.

Although Jiu Hong’s character was questionable, Lu Jiang and Zheng Xuefeng would not deny his work competence.

Jiu Hong sensed Zheng Xuefeng’s displeasure, thinking it was caused by his own inconsistency, but he didn’t get angry. He chuckled, "Then I’ll head back first. Please, Comrade Lu and Comrade Zheng, return my divorce application to me as soon as possible."

Zheng Xuefeng waved his hand, showing no intention of detaining him.

Before turning around, Jiu Hong seemed to have more to say, but since Lu Jiang and Zheng Xuefeng did not see it, he remained silent and left.

In fact, Lu Jiang and Zheng Xuefeng intentionally talked together, pretending not to notice. They couldn’t be absolutely sure, but they could guess most of it, estimating that what Jiu Hong wanted to say next had to do with Cao Hongzhu bewitching Lu Zhaodi.

Was it really Cao Hongzhu’s bewitchment?

No, Lu Zhaodi did it on purpose. She knew that Cao Hongzhu only dealt with things in one way.

Jiu Hong didn’t believe she could handle him, so she proved it with action, proving her words "a fight to the death" were not just empty talk. If Jiu Hong insisted on doing things his way, then sorry for him.

Luckily, once Jiu Hong knew her intentions, he didn’t say a word and went to find Zheng Xuefeng, attempting to retract the divorce application.

Lu Zhaodi felt extremely proud, finally catching Jiu Hong’s Achilles heel.

"Where’s the divorce application?" Seeing Jiu Hong return, the first thing out of Lu Zhaodi’s mouth was this, as it was the only thing she cared about.

"I don’t have it."

Lu Zhaodi abruptly stood up, "What do you mean ’you don’t have it’? What does that mean? Are you backing out, still wanting to divorce me? Jiu Hong, don’t think I’m joking with you. Anyway, after divorcing you, I’ll have nothing left; I can throw caution to the wind, and we’ll see if you value your prospects or not!"

Jiu Hong replied impatiently, "It’s not that I don’t want to take it back, but Commissar Zheng hasn’t returned it to me, saying he will only do so once he’s sure we have truly reconciled."

Hearing this, Lu Zhaodi’s expression immediately softened.

"That’s good, that’s good!" Lu Zhaodi muttered, finally feeling at ease as a heavy burden lifted from her heart.

Fortunately, she was no naïve country woman, or else she could have only let Jiu Hong abandon her.

"Don’t just say that’s good; give me that newspaper. I need it," Jiu Hong demanded directly.

"No way!" Lu Zhaodi lifted her chin defiantly, "If I give it to you, what will I do? What if you change your mind? Jiu Hong, I don’t trust you now, and you should understand that. Of course, I also understand why you want that newspaper; you’re not afraid I’ll post it everywhere, but you plan to use the paper with Cao Hongzhu’s handwriting to bring down Li Shuitian. Even if it doesn’t bring him down, it will make him a target of public scorn due to Cao Hongzhu’s association, shunned by all. How does that saying go again? Oh, keep one’s distance."

She deliberately made Cao Hongzhu leave handwriting on the paper to get revenge on her.

Cao Hongzhu, having overhead some idle talk, reported Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue, yet they came out unscathed, whereas she ended up being the one publicly shamed because of Cao Hongzhu’s mention of her during a moment of madness.

The thing Jiu Hong wanted to do was also what Lu Zhaodi sought to do.

Not only could she get back at Cao Hongzhu, but it would also make Jiu Hong owe her one, leaving a grip in her hands for life, ensuring he could never bring up divorce with her again.
