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

As it turned out, even though Gu Xu was off duty, he had taken Little Moustache back to the station and locked him up.

Seeing Gu Xu’s dark expression, a colleague asked what the guy had done. Gu Xu explained that Little Moustache had been secretly filming people.

He added, ”On top of that, the punk tried to make a move on my girl.”

His colleague was shocked. ”Don’t worry, Brother Gu. We’ll be sure to interrogate him thoroughly and see if he’s committed any other crimes!”

Gu Xu nonchalantly patted his colleague’s shoulder. ”If he hasn’t committed any other crimes, just keep him for a night and let him go.”

”Okay, we got it.”

But who would have thought? Little Moustache had *actually* committed other crimes!

Breaking and entering, and even groping someone’s thigh in public!

Gu Xu sneered. ”Just these crimes are enough to land you in prison for a few years!”

With a miserable look on his face, Little Moustache whined, ”I may have gone to that house to steal something, but I didn’t actually take anything! And that woman... I only groped her thigh because I thought she was a young girl. Who knew she’d turn around and be some forty-something-year-old broad! I mean, what’s an old lady like that doing wearing such a short skirt anyway!”

”What business is it of yours what she wears? That’s her freedom! So what, you can’t grope a middle-aged woman, but it’s okay to grope a young girl? You’re just a pervert!”

Since the guy was a genuine piece of trash, the officers, of course, didn’t go easy on him.

After confirming Little Moustache would be detained, Gu Xu finally took the information he had gathered on Gao Yuan and went to find Qin Jiao.

Qin Jiao was stunned to hear that Little Moustache had other crimes to his name. She scoffed, ”I can’t believe the nerve of his aunt. Daring to suggest someone like *him* should marry Xiao Shi!”

Gu Xu’s heart skipped a beat. Not daring to reveal his own feelings for Xiao Shi, he could only add with righteous indignation, ”Exactly! By the way, Sister Qin, here’s the information on Gao Yuan.”

He quickly changed the subject.

Qin Jiao knew this meant their plan to use Little Moustache as bait in the State City was off the table for now. She’d have to tell Shen Yi later.

For now, she focused her attention on Gao Yuan’s file.

The information was all from two years ago, exactly as Gu Xu had described.

Gu Xu asked curiously, ”Sister Qin, why did you want me to investigate this man?”

”He’s my younger cousin’s boyfriend. She doesn’t dare tell the family yet because he’s been married before and has a child.” To be honest, Qin Jiao hadn’t considered his previous marriage a major issue at first.

Her thinking remained the same: if the man had good character, the divorce wasn’t his fault, and Xiao Lan herself truly liked him, then she could give her blessing.

But who could have imagined that rumors of domestic violence and a missing ex-wife would surface?

Qin Jiao frowned. ”Gao Yuan told my younger cousin that his ex-wife ran off with a businessman and went abroad.”

Gu Xu replied, ”I called a colleague who worked on that case. Back then, because Gao Yuan’s ex-wife was missing, they suspected him too. But after investigating him several times, they found nothing suspicious. To use my colleague’s words, the man is very easy to like and very hard to dislike.”

Qin Jiao was startled. ”In other words, regarding the domestic violence accusations, either he’s innocent and was wrongly accused, or... he’s an absolutely terrifying person.”

Gu Xu nodded. ”Exactly. But with no evidence, everyone eventually assumed it was the former. Later, his ex-wife’s family withdrew their complaint and stopped looking for her, so the whole thing was just dropped.”

Ever since her rebirth, Qin Jiao had learned to trust her sixth sense implicitly.

She had a gut feeling that this matter wasn’t so simple.

Moreover, the file stated that Gao Yuan had previously been a psychological counselor at a university—a psychologist—before being promoted to a position at the Bureau of Education.

’A psychologist?’
