Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 119: Who Hired the Human Trafficker?

Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Who Hired the Human Trafficker?

Sheng Zexi held her tightly, making Gu Jia Ning a little breathless for a moment. She instinctively pushed away and turned her head, only to see the man’s reddened eyes. She was suddenly stunned, and her heart softened into a puddle.

"Brother Xi, I’m sorry, I made you worry." Gu Jia Ning softly apologized. When she went out before, she had promised there wouldn’t be any trouble, yet things still went wrong.

"But Brother Xi, don’t worry, I’m fine, really. You can check, I’m perfectly okay."

"And I even took down that human trafficker; that person is now at the police station."

Seeing Sheng Zexi still silent and not speaking, Gu Jia Ning got anxious.

She softened her voice further, "I’m sorry, Brother Xi, it was my fault for worrying you." Gu Jia Ning extended her hand and gently hugged Sheng Zexi to comfort him.

The soft warmth of the body in his arms, along with her tender words, finally brought Sheng Zexi back to his senses and his previously cold hands began to warm up a bit.

The heart that had been racing with panic upon hearing that Gu Jia Ning encountered a trafficker finally started to calm down.

His chin resting on Gu Jia Ning’s head, he explained, "I’m not blaming you, I was just worried about you, Ningning, you’re still pregnant."

No one knew what he felt when, during training, he heard the soldier report that Gu Jia Ning had encountered a trafficker in the county.

Although the soldier had also said Gu Jia Ning was impressive, having taken down the trafficker.

But only Sheng Zexi knew that his little wife was delicate, without much strength, and now was pregnant—how could she take down a trafficker?

Even if she really had taken down a trafficker, was she injured?

Thinking of this, Sheng Zexi couldn’t bear it.

If he thought further, he feared he would go crazy.

Thus, he drove out from the military district without stopping and came to the county town.

Only at this moment, holding his little wife in his arms, did his heart finally become somewhat steady.

"I know Brother Xi was worried about me, but I’m really fine; I even took down the trafficker..."

Listening to his little wife’s enthusiastic account of how she took down the trafficker, Sheng Zexi couldn’t help but laugh and eventually could only hold her hand tightly and lead her into the police station.

Sheng Zexi saw that trafficker, who still hadn’t awakened to this day, and his eyes were full of coldness, instructing Zhang Weidong to interrogate carefully, and if any news arises, to inform the military district immediately.

"Don’t worry, brother, I will."

Finally, Sheng Zexi helped Gu Jia Ning and Zhang Shuwan load the things they bought into the car before driving them back to the military district.

Back at the military district, Zhang Shuwan also saw Lin Xing who was anxiously waiting.

It was only then that Lin Xing learned that his wife and Mr. Gu had encountered traffickers, which made him worried instantly as both women were pregnant.

Now, seeing his wife safe and sound, Lin Xing finally let out a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Sheng Zexi carried the items, slowed his pace, and walked beside Gu Jia Ning.

When they returned home, and Sheng Zexi set down the items, Gu Jia Ning was just about to organize them when Sheng Zexi hugged her tightly and sat down on the hot bed in the living room, holding her horizontally in his arms.

The man’s head was nestled in her embrace, full of dependence.

"Should we organize the stuff?" Gu Jia Ning asked.

"No hurry," came the muffled voice from her embrace.

"Are you hungry, do you want something to eat?" Gu Jia Ning asked again.

"Not hungry, how about you?"

"I had dumplings at the government hotel."

"Mm."

Sheng Zexi did not say anything further, continuing to hold her quietly, without moving.

Gu Jia Ning: Well, the frightened man has turned into a wronged and dependent big puppy.

Gu Jia Ning stroked his head again and again, looking like she was smoothing down a big puppy’s fur.

Not to mention, the man seemed to really enjoy it.

Gu Jia Ning couldn’t help but want to tease him, exaggerating slightly, "Aiya, we’re in the camp, tall and mighty, and he’s the battalion commander who is the soldier king; at home, he’s holding his wife and won’t let go; aren’t you afraid of being laughed at if anyone sees?"

The man in her arms lightly snorted, "What’s wrong with me holding my wife? Many of them don’t even have wives."

With one sentence, Sheng Zexi conveyed the feeling of "I have a wife, I’m proud."

Gu Jia Ning couldn’t help but laugh and didn’t tease him further.

She just held him and leaned against him, quietly enjoying the time belonging to the two of them.

Perhaps the man’s embrace was too warm, and too familiar and secure, unknowingly, her eyelids grew heavier, and Gu Jia Ning quickly fell asleep.

When she woke up again, Gu Jia Ning found it was already dark.

Over the next two days, Sheng Zexi continued following up on the trafficker issue.

On the third day, when he returned, Sheng Zexi told Gu Jia Ning about the trafficker.

"That trafficker has confessed, and was identified on Qin De’s side as the one who initially planned to collaborate with Qin De to kidnap Qin Tian."

"Luckily, he hasn’t kidnapped others yet, and for now has no accomplices."

"Then why did he target me?" Gu Jia Ning asked.

What Sheng Zexi said earlier didn’t surprise Gu Jia Ning, as she had seen it in future flashes, which is why she alerted the police.

"He initially said it was because you are beautiful."

"Definitely not just because of that reason," Gu Jia Ning immediately dismissed it.

"Yes, it’s not just because of that reason. Later, under another interrogation by the police, he finally revealed that someone hired him, specifically to target you. He had been waiting back and forth between the county town and Kao Mountain Village for a long time, and finally, today, received news saying you had arrived at the county, prompting him to act."

"Receive news? Who was it?" Gu Jia Ning’s heart jumped.

Sheng Zexi’s expression was calm as he shook his head, "Even the trafficker doesn’t know who this person is. Whether hiring or transmitting messages, that person never showed up. He doesn’t even know whether this person is male or female, only receives messages unilaterally from a certain place. As for how he knows you, it’s because the person who hired him gave him a sketch of you." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

The sketch Sheng Zexi had seen—it looked very much like her, of course, partly because Gu Jia Ning was attractive; comparing it to the sketch, she’d be recognized immediately.

"What did the person hiring him say?" Gu Jia Ning asked.

"They said, after kidnapping you, then..." Sheng Zexi stared at Gu Jia Ning’s face.

Under Gu Jia Ning’s perplexed gaze, Sheng Zexi said in a deep voice, "Then use a knife to ruin your face."

"What!" Gu Jia Ning immediately cried out in surprise, covering her beautiful, fair face with both hands, "This person is too wicked, it must be a woman—terribly jealous of my looks!"

Actually, at that moment, Gu Jia Ning vaguely suspected.

A woman with such a strong hostility towards her.

There was only one person.

Li Shuyao!

Gu Jia Ning was eighty to ninety percent certain it was Li Shuyao.
