Back to the 1980s: Becoming the Villain's Lucky Wife

”I was just...”

”Right. Let me remind you, before you start making excuses, why don’t you explain something first? You secretly photographed my husband in the South, and now you’re secretly photographing me here in North City. What possible reason could you have for traveling all the way from the South to the North just to take our pictures and cause us trouble?”

Qin Jiao noted the panic in his eyes, her own expression calm.

If she wasn’t mistaken, he had just photographed her and Gu Xu, intending to create a scandal and cause trouble for her.

The man with the little moustache was so nervous his palms were sweating. He turned to Gu Xu and said, ”Officer, isn’t this illegal detention? If I’ve committed a crime, you should be taking me to the police station.”

He was completely dodging Qin Jiao’s question.

A clear sign of a guilty conscience!

But this was Gu Xu. He had seen plenty of people like this and had no intention of letting the man get his way.

Gu Xu said, ”Don’t worry. Mr. Qin just invited you in for a little chat. I’ll be right here, so she won’t dare to hit you.”

The man with the little moustache: ”...”

He finally decided to bite the bullet, turning to Qin Jiao. ”Fine, I admit it! I wanted to get back at you! My aunt tried to set me up with your Xiao Shi, and you all rejected me... AAGH!”

The words had barely left the man’s mouth. Before Qin Jiao could even speak, Gu Xu, who was standing nearby, reached out and smacked him on the head.

His face hit the table with a THUD. The pain brought tears and snot streaming from his face. He stared at Gu Xu in a complete daze. ”You... didn’t you say you wouldn’t let her hit me?” ’So why are you hitting me yourself?!’

Gu Xu thought to himself, ’Hitting you just once was letting you off easy.’

’A punk like you actually dares to have designs on Xiao Shi!’

But he couldn’t hit him again now. With a cold expression, he said, ”Just because she wouldn’t date you, you pull a stunt like this? What’s next? Are you planning to commit an actual crime?”

The man was still dazed from the blow. He quickly said, ”No, no, no! I won’t!”

When he saw that neither of them was speaking, he gritted his teeth and said with a pained look, ”How about this? You can have the camera! I swear I’ll never do this again!”

Gu Xu remained silent, waiting to see what Qin Jiao would decide.

Qin Jiao picked up the camera and toyed with it. ”This model isn’t even sold in the country,” she said softly. ”Whoever is behind you must have foreign connections. Tsk, tsk. With such an expensive camera, did they have you photographing more than just us? Any other intelligence, perhaps? And then you sell that intelligence?”

The man with the little moustache looked bewildered. ”I don’t know what you’re talking about! Mr. Qin, I already admitted I was wrong, and I’ll never do it again! For my aunt’s sake, you know her well...”

”Just say it. What did the person backing you really ask you to do? Was it to steal important state secrets, or something else?”

The man with the little moustache was completely dumbfounded!

Gu Xu already couldn’t stand the sight of this bastard. ’Who does this punk think he is, daring to have designs on Xiao Shi!’

After hearing Qin Jiao’s words, his expression turned grave. ”If that’s the case, we can’t just let you go. We’ll have to take you in for a proper investigation to see if you’re really a spy!”

The moment the man heard that, his legs went weak, and he nearly wet his pants in terror.

If he were actually convicted of being a spy, he’d be done for!

He quickly began to plead. ”Mr. Qin, I’m really not a spy! At first, I was just angry. Angry that you wouldn’t let me marry Qin Shi. Then, someone approached me. They said if I caused trouble for you and your husband, they’d give me a lot of money! They gave me this camera, too! That time I took pictures of your husband, Shen Yi? They gave me ten thousand yuan just for that!”
