80: Li Qingyan shows off her husband, knife-held incident

“It seems Liu Wenzhong will face immense pressure!”

After finishing the news report, Gao Ze had a faint premonition that this case would not only spread throughout Donghai City but might also make it onto national trending news platforms.

This was because the nature of the serial murder case involving young girls was simply too heinous.

It could also easily cause panic among young girls and their parents.

Just like in the comments section of that report, many people were anxious and terrified, and some parents, worried about their daughters, wanted to personally escort them.

Of course, many people also questioned the Police, doubting the capabilities of the Donghai City Police.

Therefore, the pressure this case placed on Liu Wenzhong and the Municipal Bureau was imaginable.

However, Gao Ze didn't feel much pressure.

He had already deduced many clues about the killer of the young girls, enough to screen and find him.

Moreover, he had the intelligence system.

Now, what he needed to do was go to Donghai New World Mall.

The system intelligence indicated a robbery and assault case there; would it pose a danger to his wife, Li Qingyan?

Even if it didn't harm Li Qingyan, preventing other innocent people from getting hurt and earning a merit was worth Gao Ze's personal trip.

At the same time.

Just after Gao Ze departed.

At the landmark New World Plaza in Donghai City CBD, someone wanted to hold Gao Ze's wife Li Qingyan's hand.

“Jiang Qianyu, I asked you out to go shopping. What are you trying to do?”

Li Qingyan pulled her arm away, her eyes coldly staring at the exquisitely beautiful and charming woman in front of her.

“Qing Yan, I just want to hold your hand!”

Jiang Qianyu looked helpless, pouting softly, “Why can't I hold your hand? I used to be able to hold your hand!”

“That was before. I didn't know your orientation and considered you a friend!”

Li Qingyan said coolly, “But it's different now!”

“How is it different?” Jiang Qianyu was utterly puzzled.

Li Qingyan stated frankly, “Because I am a married woman now, and my hand can only be held by my husband!”

Jiang Qianyu was shocked, “Qing Yan, you have a husband? What you posted on your Moments last time was true, not a joke?”

“Why would someone with your personality have a husband?”

Three questions in a row perfectly represented Jiang Qianyu’s bewildered and shocked state of mind at that moment.

“Jiang Qianyu, what do you mean by these questions?”

Li Qingyan’s beautiful eyes flashed with a dangerous cold light, and she said coldly, “Why can't I have a husband? What's wrong with my personality?”

“It's you, a lesbian, who can't find a husband!”

“The Moments post last time wasn't a joke. I have a husband, and my husband is handsome and kind. A woman like you wouldn't find someone like him even if you accumulated good karma for eight lifetimes!”

Jiang Qianyu: “........”

She had never imagined that she would one day be shown off by someone's husband.

“Qing Yan, how did you suddenly get married? What kind of person is your husband exactly?”

Jiang Qianyu felt increasingly uneasy. She hadn't seen Li Qingyan for just over a month, and Li Qingyan was already married, looking completely smitten. She probed curiously, “Are you sure you haven't been tricked?”

“Jiang Qianyu, you're the one who got tricked!”

“From childhood to now, who cried bitterly because her lollipop was tricked away? Who had her New Year's money swindled?”

Li Qingyan snorted coldly, “My mind is more mature than yours. When you still had to rely on your family, I had already successfully started a business and earned hundreds of millions. You say I was tricked?”

“Alright, alright, I give up. Don't dig up my embarrassing childhood stories.”

Jiang Qianyu raised her hands in surrender, sighing, “Let's talk business, tell me about your husband!”

“You invited me here not just to go shopping with me. Maybe I can help your husband gain your family's approval?”

Li Qingyan could list all her childhood embarrassing stories without showing any mercy, clearly indicating that she valued her husband more than her.

“My husband is a Police officer; how could he trick me? If anything, I tricked him!”

Li Qingyan let out a melancholic sigh, simply introducing Gao Ze's profession, family, and how long they had known each other.

After listening, Jiang Qianyu was completely stunned.

“You decided to marry him the first time you saw that Gao Ze?”

“So many rich second-generation heirs and top elites pursued you, but you didn't even glance at them. Even a peerless beauty like me, who grew up with you, couldn't get a kind word from you. What exactly did you see in Gao Ze?”

“That Gao Ze isn't a native of Donghai, and he doesn't have a car or a house. What advantages does he have besides being handsome?”

Li Qingyan didn't bother to explain much, merely glancing at Jiang Qianyu and saying, “Jiang Qianyu, you don't even qualify as a beauty. You're a common floozy with common taste!”

“Alright, I'm common. I don't understand. What magic does your husband possess? I'm all ears!”

Jiang Qianyu's mouth twitched. Anyone else would have been furious and stormed off, but she was already used to Li Qingyan's personality.

“I'll only mention a few things. First, my husband is very handsome, not just ordinarily handsome!”

Li Qingyan said coldly, “Second, I took my husband to meet my mother, Shen Xiuyan. Shen Xiuyan had a very good impression of him. To this day, even those wealthy tycoons haven't gained her approval. You can imagine the significance.”

“Third, my husband is exceptionally capable. He has received two first-class merits and is a national hero.

In terms of rank, he is a rare gem among his peers, not inferior to those from official families. He achieved all this on his own; my family and I didn't contribute an ounce of effort. He doesn't even know my family background.”

“Most importantly.

I didn't choose him the first time I saw him. Instead, I observed the entire breakup process between him and his ex-girlfriend.

Gao Ze possesses an ocean-like tranquility, tolerance, and a mysterious aura that greatly attracted me. I felt he could complement my personality, and combined with his handsomeness, I chose him.”

Jiang Qianyu listened quietly, her ink-dark brows sometimes furrowing, sometimes relaxing.

Li Qingyan’s mother, Ms. Shen Xiuyan, was a woman whose family background and abilities were exceptionally outstanding in her eyes. The fact that Gao Ze could gain her approval showed that he was indeed extraordinary.

Moreover, earning two first-class merits through personal ability.

It was enough to prove his formidable capability, not something gained by luck.

However, she still couldn't understand her friend Li Qingyan's choice.

Given her status, family background, and abilities, even with significant psychological and personality flaws, she had too many choices. Although Gao Ze was strong, he also had many shortcomings.

Why did Li Qingyan fall for Gao Ze?

As Jiang Qianyu was deep in thought, she completely missed the four or five security guards at the front of the mall chasing a flat-haired man in a black jacket.

The flat-haired man held a gleaming, sharp dagger in one hand and a bag in the other.

Upon seeing this scene.

A commotion arose among the mall crowd, and customers and pedestrians quickly retreated.

“Jiang Qianyu, why are you still standing there?”

Li Qingyan saw the flat-haired man with the knife quickly approaching from the front and pulled Jiang Qianyu into a nearby store for cover.

But by then, Jiang Qianyu's awareness came too late.

The flat-haired man with the knife turned his head, seeing the four or five security guards behind him about to catch up. He reached out to the unsuspecting Jiang Qianyu in front of him, forcibly dragged her over, and placed the sharp dagger against her fair, slender neck, shouting at the people:

“Step back, or I'll kill this woman!”

His voice was hoarse, like the roar of a wild beast cornered on a cliff.

“Ah!” The cold touch of the blade on her skin made Jiang Qianyu's face turn pale with fright, “Qing Yan, save me!”

“Shut up, or I'll cut you right now!”

The flat-haired man's eyes were as fierce as a wolf's, and he slapped the knife against Jiang Qianyu's face.

The security guards looked at each other, not knowing how to handle the situation.

Li Qingyan looked anxious, equally unsure of what to do.

The man with the knife was clearly pushed to the brink; the slightest provocation could lead him to injure or even kill someone.

Specialized skills were needed; hostage situations required Police intervention. If her husband were here, it would be great.

He would definitely be able to resolve it!

“Don't panic, Qing Yan!”

Just after this intense desire emerged in her mind, Li Qingyan suddenly heard a familiar clear voice from behind her.

Turning around, she saw her handsome and distinguished husband, Gao Ze.
