Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 228

Chapter 228: Chapter 228 Selling Goods

"Yes, I know." Father Yang changed a lot after the incident, became much more humble. Despite his lack of abilities, he always had a penchant for trouble, which ended up offending Gu Junming, landing him in hot water. Previously, thanks to his wife’s guidance, he avoided mistakes, but separated from her for a few months, and here he was.

Seeing his wife’s profile, he suddenly remembered something: "Actually, I saw a photo before..."

"Hmm?"

He was about to speak when he saw Zhao Yingjun entering a unit building, so he said, "It’s nothing, let’s resolve this issue first."

Zhao Jieyun didn’t think much of it and continued to follow Zhao Yingjun.

Zhao Yingjun turned the key and opened Su Miao’s room, but didn’t enter. Inside, he was extremely agitated and enraged, thinking he’d diligently found and helped set up this place for her, and this wretch repays him like this!

They saw a bottle on the table, with some light yellow liquid residues inside, and there was a strange smell in the room.

Zhao Jieyun said, "Hmm, could this be a knockout drug?"

"It should be. I noticed a smell when drinking water, but didn’t think much of it because it was faint." He sniffed the bottle’s opening.

"Hmm, call the police then. Have the station handle this affair."

However, Father Yang hesitated: "This matter... isn’t it a bit inappropriate? After all, I’m a soldier..."

At its core, he was worried about his reputation.

Zhao Jieyun glanced at Father Yang, he quickly pointed at his forehead: "Your daughter hit someone else’s head, if the police get involved, doing things by the book might risk her ending up in jail."

This was indeed a concern; even at her harshest, Zhao Jieyun couldn’t bear to send her daughter to jail. She thought: "Alright, Zhao Yingjun, contact the family back home and have Su Miao’s relatives come over. Tell them she’s injured and we need to discuss something with her."

"Okay, I got it." Zhao Yingjun said flatly and went down the stairs.

Zhao Jieyun said, "Gather all this evidence carefully, we can’t let this woman turn the tables on us."

"I understand. This woman..." Her husband said no more, feeling uneasy inside.

Zhao Jieyun had no mood to manage his affairs as she examined the drug: "Where did she get it from? It seems to be some kind of raw material? She’s from a village, probably got it from work; let’s go ask at her workplace."

"No need to go to her workplace, isn’t there an expert neighbor of ours? We can ask him and find out."

"You sure are clever."

Father Yang smiled wryly: "Stop teasing me."

Zhao Jieyun snorted. Although they weren’t planning to report it to the police, they asked a man working at the police station to help inspect the place. Not wanting to escalate things officially, they must still prepare some evidence. Taking photos to preserve it, the primary concern was this woman might turn against them.

The couple returned and asked their neighbor, learning this liquid is frequently used to lubricate machinery in textile plants, and drinking a small amount can temporarily put someone to sleep, though too much can be toxic.

Father Yang clenched his fists—had this all been premeditated?

After expressing their gratitude, Zhao Jieyun led Father Yang home. Now they awaited the arrival of Su Miao’s parents to resolve the issue.

Zhao Yingjun had intended to go back home but spoke no further, directly heading to the kitchen, drank half a bottle of liquor, getting messily drunk, and stumbled into the room where Su Jinxiu was already asleep with her child. Smelling the alcohol, she woke up.
