Chapter 49: I'm not washing your hair so you can hook up with men.
"Xiao Wan, I really love you. If you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you, and then you can rest assured."
As He Yongsheng spoke, he kissed Mu Xiaowan on the face. At the same time, he began to undo his belt, his movements hurried and flustered.
Mu Xiaowan was shocked. Was He Yongsheng's mother a pervert?
Mu Xiaowan used her hand to block He Yongsheng's face as he rushed towards her kiss. Her hand was covered in He Yongsheng's saliva, and she almost vomited.
He Yongsheng thought Mu Xiaowan was just pretending to refuse, so he coaxed her, "Xiaowan, I know you're very angry and furious. Now that we're married, since I like you and you like me, let's meet more often in private. Wherever you want to meet, that's fine. If that doesn't work, we can rent a place together."
"I will definitely be better than Chu Junbai. I'll show you what a real man is."
Seeing that He Yongsheng was about to take off his pants, Mu Xiaowan was furious. In desperation, she kicked He Yongsheng hard in the groin. Before He Yongsheng could catch his breath while clutching his groin, she picked up the white porcelain ashtray on the table and smashed it over He Yongsheng's head.
Just as she was about to smash it a second time, the door was suddenly kicked open, and Chu Junbai's imposing figure appeared in the doorway.
The anxiety on his face turned to shock when he saw Mu Xiaowan, who was furious and about to commit a crime, and He Yongsheng lying in a pool of blood.
He quickly stepped forward and took the ashtray from Mu Xiaowan's hand.
Blood was gushing from He Yongsheng's head; another blow could have killed him.
Mu Xiaowan didn't resist and let go.
She acted in self-defense in a moment of panic.
We absolutely cannot allow anyone to die.
"How are you?" Chu Junbai asked, having already looked Mu Xiaowan up and down.
Apart from her disheveled, pale face and panicked eyes, she was not injured.
Mu Xiaowan shook her head.
Chu Junbai noticed that her hands were trembling slightly, and then looked at He Yongsheng on the ground, whose belt had been unbuckled and whose pants had been pulled down to his buttocks. He understood what had happened.
In an instant, his eyes darkened, and his hands slowly clenched into fists.
The next second, he raised his foot, which was clad in a military boot, and kicked He Yongsheng in the buttocks. He Yongsheng's body moved forward slightly, showing that he had used a lot of force in the kick.
Mu Xiaowan usually remained calm no matter what happened, but today she was clearly frightened.
Chu Junbai wanted to offer some words of comfort, but he didn't know how.
He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and enveloped Mu Xiaowan's hand.
Mu Xiaowan looked up at Chu Junbai and said, "I'm fine, thank you!"
Her strong demeanor impressed Chu Junbai.
As soon as Mu Xiaowan arrived at the shooting range, he saw that dazzling red color and assumed that Mu Xiaowan had come to find him.
He was still wondering what he wanted to see him about.
Unexpectedly, He Yongsheng ran up to Mu Xiaowan, the two exchanged a few words, and then He Yongsheng asked for leave, and the two left together.
At that moment, he felt a strange tightness in his chest.
He was the one who washed Mu Xiaowan's hair this morning, and he didn't expect her to look so elegant. Since she came to see He Yongsheng, he shouldn't meddle in her business.
Or perhaps it was because Mu Xiaowan was his wife in name only, and he mentally suspected that Mu Xiaowan had cheated on him.
He should have included a clause in the contract stipulating that they could not start another relationship or do anything to betray each other during those three years.
During these three years, absolute fidelity to the marriage must be guaranteed.
He originally planned to return to his team, but as he walked along the road, he thought about it and realized that he should perhaps remind Mu Xiaowan to consider the potential impact on him.
As a married woman, how could he possibly save face if word got out that she secretly met with his soldiers on his own turf?
He also told Mu Xiaowan that if she was injured, she should rest at home and not try to prevent her arm from healing so that she would make him wash her hair.
With that thought in mind, he accelerated.
Upon arriving at the courtyard, after asking the soldiers, he saw the tightly closed doors, and at that moment, he admitted he was furious.
When he got closer, he heard howling coming from inside. Without thinking, he kicked the door open.
I never expected to see this.
Surprise is not enough to describe the shock he felt.
"What should we do with him?" Mu Xiaowan looked at He Yongsheng, who was lying on the ground and whose cries of pain were getting weaker and weaker. It wouldn't do for him to die now.
Chu Junbai called out towards the door, "Two people are coming here."
Two soldiers rushed over immediately.
Mu Xiaowan immediately withdrew her hand, not wanting others to overthink it.
Seeing He Yongsheng's miserable state, the two soldiers exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
“He Yongsheng’s conduct was improper. He attempted to take advantage of this female comrade. The female comrade was frightened and acted in self-defense. He Yongsheng deserved the blame.”
"Send him to the military hospital now. As for what to do next, that's up to your regimental commander to decide."
"Comrade Mu Xiaowan, what are your thoughts?"
"I would also appreciate it if Captain Chu could help me call the police. He Yongsheng almost ruined my innocence and reputation. I want to get justice."
He Yongsheng was quickly carried away by two soldiers.
He ignored his head, clutching his groin with both hands, his cries weak and feeble.
Chu Junbai's office wasn't here. He asked Mu Xiaowan to get in the car, and then he got in as well.
The car quickly left the office area and headed towards a wasteland. The speed was so fast that Mu Xiaowan almost felt her lungs pop out from the jolting.
After walking for about twenty minutes, we finally arrived at a campsite.
The camp was quiet at this time, and apart from the few people on guard duty, no one else could be seen.
"Everyone's out in the field for training today. Come to my office."
Chu Junbai's office was very simple. Besides a desk, a chair, and a cot, there were several maps and portraits of great men hanging on the wall.
Chu Junbai picked up the thermos, rinsed his teacup with boiling water, and then poured a cup of water for Mu Xiaowan.
"This is my cup, please make do with it. There's nothing else here."
Mu Xiaowan wasn't sure if it was because she caught a chill in the car or what, but her jaw was chattering from the cold. She quickly picked up Chu Junbai's water glass.
Her palms were warm, but even so, they couldn't dispel the chill emanating from her body.
She picked up the teacup and took a sip. The hot water slid down her throat, and her stomach felt warm, which relieved her discomfort somewhat.
"Is your arm alright?"
"It's alright. I can teach that kind of scum a lesson with one hand."
"Yes, I can. I'm not washing your hair so you'll travel this far to see He Yongsheng."
Sensing the displeasure in Chu Junbai's words, Mu Xiaowan didn't rush to explain, because she was too cold and needed to calm down.
Just then, the phone on Chu Junbai's desk rang.
"Captain Chu, I just heard about Platoon Leader He's situation. Can we meet and talk about it? The police are here now, and we need to take him to the hospital to give a statement."
"Commander, your men are all incredibly capable; they've actually done such shameful things."
"Then let's go straight to the hospital. I want to see how he'll explain himself."
The regimental commander stared at the disconnected phone, utterly perplexed.
What's wrong with Captain Chu?
"You rest for a bit, we're going to the hospital."
After about 10 minutes, Mu Xiaowan felt much better and then got up.
This time, Chu Junbai drove the car he had always driven before.
Without the cold wind blowing, Mu Xiaowan wasn't so cold.
Walking down the street, Mu Xiaowan thought that since the police were handling it, she might as well tell Chu Junbai so she could deal with it.
“He Yongsheng owes me money, and I’ve come to collect it.”
