Chapter 323: Chapter 323: Burning Bridges After Crossing

Father Tang, having already given his advice, decided not to say more and scurried away.

He dared not stay and risk saying too much.

As the saying goes, the more one talks, the more mistakes one makes.

If he blabbed too much and caused trouble between his daughter and son-in-law, that old fox might set his sights on Tang Chuxia again, and he guessed his wife would be the first to chop him.

Considering his own safety, Father Tang gave up on staying any longer and quickly left.

Gu Beihuai didn’t even know how to ask someone to stay, but Father Gu, feeling sorry for his son, patted him on the shoulder, and in a low voice asked, "Should we maybe ask Elder Huang for some medicine?"

Gu Beihuai roared, "Dad!!!"

Father Gu dug at his ear, somewhat startled.

With a look of ignorance, he said, "I’m not old and deaf; why are you shouting?"

Gu Beihuai’s face turned red, "I’m fine, I’m perfectly healthy!"

Father Gu didn’t believe him and sized up his son.

After a long pause, he squeezed out, "Don’t be embarrassed, many soldiers can’t perform; it’s not just a matter of strength!"

Gu Beihuai really wanted to take action.

When it came to doing what was right even against his own family, he was totally willing to attempt it.

Father Gu also ran off; he expressed no desire to talk more with Gu Beihuai.

However, he still planned to ask Elder Huang whether the medicine was truly effective; it’s always good to be prepared, right?

Men!

They understand!

Gu Beihuai took a few deep breaths and stood thinking for a while, finally deciphering Father Tang’s words.

His face darkened; it turned out Tang Chuxia was expressing disdain for him once again.

Gu Beihuai felt it was time to assert his marital authority, and he strode purposefully towards the sickroom, only to be stopped by Peng Fei.

"Brother Huai, don’t rush to see your sister-in-law just yet; come with me!"

Peng Fei looked very anxious, and Gu Beihuai realized that the matter must be urgent, so he reluctantly followed him.

Peng Fei rushed Gu Beihuai to their office in the city, pulled him into the office, and then handed Gu Beihuai a kraft paper envelope.

Opening it, Gu Beihuai saw a stack of photographs.

The pictures captured Tang Jianzheng at work.

"What’s going on? You want me to use these photos to get on my brother-in-law’s good side?"

Gu Beihuai couldn’t see any issue, looking completely baffled; he thought something significant had happened, but it was just photographs of Tang Jianzheng.

Peng Fei pointed to some places in the pictures, "Take a look at these!"

Gu Beihuai looked again for a while and noticed just some scenes of fixing airplanes.

What about it?

Tang Jianzheng was a pilot; it was completely normal for him to repair planes, right?

After all, anyone who flies a plane would have some understanding of maintenance; otherwise, if there were an issue in the sky, all they could do was await death.

"What’s up? The airplane is pretty good, and Tang Jianzheng is so filthy!"

Peng Fei: ...

He knew better than to expect Gu Beihuai to notice, so he pointed to certain spots in the picture and said, "This place is highly confidential. Even I had to sign a lot of secret agreements to get in, but these photos showed up at the hospital entrance today, naming our boss directly!"

After Peng Fei finished, Gu Beihuai hastily threw the photos aside.

"Why are you giving me photos that only your boss should see? What do you want me to do with them?"

Dealing with secrets could likely implicate him.

Gu Beihuai’s gaze at Peng Fei turned hostile, making Peng Fei’s spine feel cold as he hurriedly explained, "Brother Huai, don’t be angry, man. You’re Tianji’s head honcho and you’re supposed to investigate these things! I’m just following orders to bring this to you!"

Peng Fei was almost ready to swear an oath to show his sincerity, but Gu Beihuai still asked with suspicion, "Why do I always feel like you’re trying to fool me?"

Peng Fei could only give a wry smile.

Why would he fool anyone with this kind of thing?

What benefit would there be?

He hadn’t figured that out yet when Gu Beihuai said, "I feel like you’re trying to screw me over! The goal is to make me look like a fool in front of my big uncle!"

Peng Fei clenched his fists. If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t beat Gu Beihuai, he probably would have thrown down right there.

Who jokes about things like this?

Seeing Peng Fei’s angry yet helpless expression, Gu Beihuai suddenly laughed. He put his arm around Peng Fei’s shoulder, "Bro, just kidding with you. Tell me what’s going on, who sent it? You gotta give me some clue so I can arrange someone to investigate!"

Confidential matters definitely required careful handling, and given what had happened to Tang Jianzheng, it would be a disservice to his duty if Gu Beihuai didn’t suspect something.

Peng Fei felt helpless, knowing that Gu Beihuai was no ordinary person, but had no choice but to cooperate and relay the investigative findings.

While Gu Beihuai was investigating the photo situation, Tang Chuxia had a nap. When she opened her eyes again, she saw Tang Jianzheng looking at her.

His eyes were fixed intently on her, making Tang Chuxia’s heart grow faint with fear.

"Brother, if you’re lacking in affection, you could find my future third sister-in-law and really enhance your interaction. If you want to have kids, just get the marriage certificate and I’ll vanish!"

Tang Chuxia’s mouth really dared to say anything, sure enough, as soon as she finished, she saw Tang Jianzheng’s face change color instantly, with a look that could almost kill staring back at her.

Tang Jianzheng averted his gaze, glanced towards the door, and asked in a lowered voice, "What exactly did you give me to eat?"

Tang Chuxia didn’t hesitate, "Naturally it’s an elixir. Isn’t it miraculous?"

Tang Jianzheng roared, "Bugs, you fed me bugs, Tang Chuxia, are you sick of living?"

"Yeah, sick of living, are you wanting to send me west?" Tang Chuxia wasn’t afraid of Tang Jianzheng. Ever since she realized that Tang Jianzheng really was on guard against her, she was ready to let loose.

She intended to protect everyone in the Tang family, but that didn’t mean she would give up being herself in order to do so. She was in a transmigration, not playing someone else.

From the start, she never imitated the original character; everyone she knew could clearly see the change in her, they just thought Tang Chuxia was too shocked by a serious trigger, only Tang Jianzheng said she had a split personality.

This truly distinguished her from the original character.

Tang Chuxia actually appreciated Tang Jianzheng’s behavior—it at least showed that he really cared for the original.

The bold declaration from Tang Chuxia angered Tang Jianzheng so much he was forced to catch his breath, finally gasping out, "The medicine you gave me made my leg better!"

Tang Chuxia nodded, "Isn’t that normal? Medicine is for treatment, so what’s the problem if it got better? Or would you prefer it got worse?"

Tang Chuxia’s matter-of-factness only intensified Tang Jianzheng’s headache.

He had to grit his teeth to remind her, "It’s too good, it improved too quickly! Do you know what that means?"

Tang Chuxia uttered an "ah" sound, "Does it mean you’re going to be a jerk of a brother? Ready to cross the river and tear down the bridge?"
