Chapter 520: Five hundred eighteen, Punishment

Zhang Xiaoling was about to look for Zhao Dahai when she heard a burst of footsteps coming from outside.

Looking up, she saw the cold-faced Lu Hanmo walking into the courtyard with Zhao Dahai.

Zhao Dahai stepped forward and yanked Li Xiangyun, "Go back!" After this incident, he had realized how much Lu Hanmo cared for his wife and knew that the matter was settled.

Upon seeing Lu Hanmo, Li Xiangyun shook off Zhao Dahai’s hand and hurriedly rushed towards Lu Hanmo. As long as this man was willing to forgive them, Dahai would not be demoted.

Lu Hanmo dodged with a swift move, letting the rushing Li Xiangyun stumble and nearly fall down.

Regaining her balance, Li Xiangyun turned around to look at Lu Hanmo, who had already moved beside Luo Shu, and cried out pleadingly, "Instructor Lu! Please spare us this time! As long as you let Dahai go, I’m willing to leave the family housing. He has done nothing wrong! Please!"

Lu Hanmo’s expression remained cold, "Have you ever considered my wife’s feelings?"

"I... I was wrong! It’s my fault! Please forgive me! I really realize my mistake now!" Li Xiangyun begged. She truly hadn’t anticipated that offending them would result in such serious consequences. Although Dahai had warned her earlier, she had overestimated herself and underestimated how much Lu Hanmo valued Luo Shu.

"No one can harm my wife and get away with it; this is the punishment you deserve." Lu Hanmo spoke coldly, his piercing gaze sweeping over the crowd.

All the guards’ wives were so scared that they bowed their heads, not daring to meet Lu Hanmo’s gaze. His presence was so overwhelming that, even from a distance, they could still feel the suffocating pressure. Such a man was indeed not someone they could afford to provoke. In their hearts, they silently resolved never to bother Luo Shu again.

Luo Shu looked at Lu Hanmo and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly with a happy smile. This was the man she loved—her support for a lifetime!

"Let’s go," said Zhao Dahai, pulling the trembling Li Xiangyun to walk towards their house. Lu Hanmo had already told him that in half a month he would be demoted ahead of time. Even if he felt reluctant, there was no choice but to accept this reality.

Li Xiangyun, knowing that the decision was final, no longer struggled and let Zhao Dahai lead her away. But at that moment, she seemed to have aged ten years, with a vacant look in her eyes and a forlorn expression.

Seeing Zhao Dahai and his wife depart, the other guards’ wives also quickly followed them out.

"I should leave too," said Zhang Xiaoling, glancing somewhat fearfully at Lu Hanmo and addressing Luo Shu. Only a woman like Luo Shu could handle such a man.

As the yard suddenly became empty, Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo looked at each other and smiled, then held hands and walked towards the house.

After returning home, Liu Chunhua was too frightened to go out. She was filled with regret, fearing that if Lu Hanmo knew she had spread the story, her Old Wu would also suffer. If even Zhao Dahai could be dismissed with just one word from Lu Hanmo, what chance did her Old Wu have?

Wu Yanhua walked into the house and saw that Liu Chunhua looked somewhat distracted; he knew she must have been frightened by the afternoon’s events. Luckily, Lu Hanmo hadn’t pursued the matter, or he would certainly not have escaped unscathed.

Startled by the appearance of someone in front of her, Liu Chunhua was relieved when she saw it was her husband. "Why are you home so early today?"

"It’s already seven o’clock," said Wu Yanhua. The scare she had today was beneficial, as it would keep her from speaking carelessly and getting him demoted.

"It’s that late," said Liu Chunhua as she stood up, glanced at the dinner table, and saw the two children doing homework not far away. She walked to the table and picked up a dish, "I’ll warm up the meal for you." She was truly frightened today.

Entering the kitchen and seeing the bag of sugar she had gotten from Luo Shu on the stove, her legs trembled slightly. No, she must return the sugar tomorrow; otherwise, if Instructor Lu found out, it would be terrible!

Zhang Xiaoling and Yang Le lay side by side, thinking about the day’s events. She turned her head towards Yang Le beside her, "Yang Le, what exactly is Instructor Lu’s background? How is it that even Squadron Leader Zhao could be ousted by him?"

"I only know that Instructor Lu has made countless military achievements. As for his family background, no one in the training camp would know, except Commander," said Yang Le. Ever since he knew of Lu Hanmo’s existence, he had greatly admired him.

"You didn’t see how imposing Instructor Lu was when he stood up for Luo Shu today. I would be overjoyed if you could stand up for me like that one day," Xiaoling said with an envious look on her face.

"If someone bullies you, I will definitely stand up for you. It’s just that my ability is limited; I can’t be as impressive as Instructor Lu," laughed Yang Le as he held Zhang Xiaoling’s hand as if making a promise.

Zhang Xiaoling smiled sweetly, rolled over, and laid her head on Yang Le’s arm, "I’m very happy like this, too."

Yang Le lowered his head and kissed Zhang Xiaoling, "Are you really planning on selling cakes tomorrow?" He had tasted over a dozen cakes in the past two days, and while at first, they were not bad, after over a dozen trials, he never wanted to eat cake again for the rest of his life.

"Yes, I’ve already made arrangements with Luo Shu," said Zhang Xiaoling with a smile.

"Then let’s sleep early, or you won’t be able to get up tomorrow," chuckled Yang Le.

"Alright!" laughed Zhang Xiaoling, closing her eyes. Before long, she drifted off into dreamland. In her dream, she was bullied, and although Yang Le wasn’t as awesomely powerful as Lu Hanmo, he used his fists to beat back the bullies. Even though her happiness was different from Luo Shu’s, this happiness belonged solely to her.

Luo Shu and Zhang Xiaoling each carried a bamboo basket, walking toward the bus.

At the bus stop, there were still several guards’ wives waiting for the bus to go into town. With inconvenient transport and a desolate location, round trips to the city took five or six hours, which was really inconvenient. Therefore, unless they had absolutely no food at home, they would not bother to make the long trip.

Seeing Luo Shu coming, the wives all showed a trace of fear on their faces. The event of the previous day had made a deep impression on them.
