Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 761 - 756: Luo Cuilan’s Whereabouts

But discussing these matters now is of no avail, Luo Zhiyong asked Luo Zhiming to get up, with an undertone of helplessness, "Forget it, what’s done is done. There’s no use talking so much about it, let’s discuss how to deal with the current issue."

After Luo Zhiyong finished speaking, he glanced at Xu He.

Speaking of Xu He, Luo Zhiming’s eyes reddened again. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, "If I kill her, everything will be settled."

Luo Zhiyong frowned. If people could just kill without consequences, what would become of this world?

He stopped Luo Zhiming, speaking in a low voice, "Don’t talk about knives and killing anymore, it’s meaningless and will only bring you trouble. You’ve already been ruined by this woman for half your life. Do you plan to spend the other half in jail because of her?"

After being scolded by Luo Zhiyong, Luo Zhiming fell silent. Although he still didn’t want to let Xu He go, he became a bit more rational at the moment. He knew that even if he killed Xu He now, what would it change.

What he had lost was gone forever and could never be retrieved.

Seeing that Luo Zhiming seemed to be persuaded by Luo Zhiyong, Xu He breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, the moment she saw Luo Zhiyong enter the room, she knew her life was saved. It wasn’t because she thought Luo Zhiyong would help her, but because she knew Luo Zhiyong, after all, was a military man, and if anything, he would go through the law and not act recklessly.

If it really came down to the law, she believed nobody truly knew what law she had broken.

After listening to Luo Zhiyong, she immediately said with a tone of gratitude, "Brother Zhiyong, thank you."

After speaking, she staggered to her feet, ready to leave.

But Luo Zhiyong stopped her with his hand, and with a wry smile, he glanced at Xu He. This Xu He really thought everyone was a fool, or did she consider Luo Zhiyong her savior? Did she think he had come to rescue her intentionally?

Xu He didn’t understand what Luo Zhiyong meant and looked at him in confusion.

Luo Zhiyong glanced at Xu He and said indifferently, "Xu He, if you want us to let you go, that’s fine. Regarding the child’s matter, I’m too lazy to pursue it. As you said, no matter which child it is, it’s not Zhiming’s. It’s up to you how you deal with it."

"What do you mean?"

"Answer a few questions for me. If what you say turns out to be true, we’ll let you go; otherwise, we’ll see you in court." Of course, letting her go was just something Luo Zhiyong said casually. He wouldn’t break the law to deal directly with Xu He, but that didn’t mean others couldn’t.

Regardless, he would wait until someone could resolve the issue with Xu He, then would he let her go.

Upon hearing this, Xu He immediately nodded vigorously, "Okay, ask. I guarantee I won’t lie about anything I know."

Luo Zhiyong didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked what he wanted to know, "Where is Cui Lan?"

Mentioning Luo Cuilan, a hint of panic flashed in Xu He’s eyes, but she quickly concealed it. When she looked up at Luo Zhiyong again, her eyes were filled with sincerity, shaking her head, "I don’t know."

Luo Zhiyong was sure that Luo Cuilan’s disappearance had something to do with Xu He, and he didn’t miss the panic in Xu He’s eyes. Seeing how directly Xu He denied it, he laughed coldly and looked at her, "Xu He, it seems you really aren’t sincere at all. Then don’t blame me."

"What do you mean?" Xu He had recovered from the initial shock and started analyzing the situation. Also, she was no longer as frightened as before, and she even seemed to challenge Luo Zhiyong with a semblance of confidence, "Luo Zhiyong, I don’t believe you can do anything to me. You’re a soldier, you wouldn’t commit a crime knowing the law, right?"

Luo Zhiyong had his plans and wasn’t angered by her words. Instead, he smiled and asked, "Xu He, are you really that sure that, aside from killing you, I can’t do anything else to you?"

"Hmph," Xu He snorted lightly, though she didn’t voice it out loud, her tone was full of disdain, clearly convinced that Luo Zhiyong really couldn’t do anything to her.

Luo Zhiyong looked at her and gently tested, "Does selling children count as breaking the law..."

Xu He seemed to have anticipated Luo Zhiyong would say this, and she immediately retorted, "My child is also Shuanzi’s child, how is that selling children?"

At this moment, Xu He was indirectly admitting in front of Zhou Yunmei for the first time that the child wasn’t the Luo Family’s, which infuriated Zhou Yunmei enough to rush forward again to attack Xu He, "Xu He, you vile woman."

But she was stopped by Luo Zhiyong, who looked at Xu He and lightly said, "I’m not talking about the child you have with Shuanzi. I mean this one. Can you explain clearly where this child came from?"

As Luo Zhiyong said this, his eyes swept toward the child Zhou Yunmei had thrown onto the bed earlier, his expression full of irony, "Xu He, don’t tell me you’re so lucky as to have given birth to a pair of twins."

"I..." Speaking of this child, Xu He was slightly stunned, but she quickly laughed it off unconcernedly, "This child wasn’t obtained by buying either. Anyway, if you like to report it to the Police Station, go ahead."

"It looks like you’re not afraid of the Police Station." Luo Zhiyong was actually just probing with the mention of the child being bought. Now it seemed it might not be the case, so he didn’t dwell on it, "Alright, then I won’t report to the Police Station."

Hearing this, Xu He thought Luo Zhiyong truly had no way to deal with her, and a smug smile appeared on her face. But before her smile could fully emerge, Luo Zhiyong’s next words plunged Xu He back into panic, "However, I do know that Shuanzi is currently squatting in Luojia Village, seemingly waiting for you to return. I’ll notify Shuanzi to come over, and you two can sort things out."

Finished with that, Luo Zhiyong intended to step out the door, unwilling to waste more words on Xu He.

"Wait." Xu He stopped Luo Zhiyong and, biting her lip, she thought for a moment before asking, "If I tell you Luo Cuilan’s whereabouts, will you let me go?"

"I’ll consider it."

"Actually, I don’t know what happened to Luo Cuilan. After she discovered my affair with Shuanzi, she constantly used these events to blackmail me, extorting my money, forcing me to obey her. I was so annoyed, I wanted to teach her a lesson, and then I had Shuanzi help me deal with this issue. As for her current situation, I don’t know." Xu He’s words were a mix of truth and lies; she thought she had given Luo Zhiyong an explanation.

"You’re not lying?"

"No."

"I see." Luo Zhiyong made a judgment. He thought there was some truth to what Xu He said because it was unlikely that Xu He, a woman, could make Luo Cuilan vanish without a trace. But if it were Shuanzi, that would be very likely.

Regardless, it was a clue, and Luo Zhiyong planned to contact Shuanzi once he got back to inquire about Luo Cuilan.
