The newly married reborn cold-faced boss dotes on his delicate wife

Chapter 207 I'd rather starve to death than eat a bite of your food

The man who answered the phone held the teacup and took a sip of tea leisurely. "What does this have to do with me? His wife is indeed problematic. This falls within my jurisdiction, so I have to investigate it thoroughly."

Li Zheng talked about the last time he went home. "Last time I went back and told you and mom that I had a chance of getting promoted, you called my boss. Did you know that Captain Li and I were in competition, and did you deliberately target him?"

Li Zheng said a long list, "I am not as capable as him. He should be the leader. I am not in a hurry. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Don't use this method. You will make me lose face."

The man on the other end of the phone spoke earnestly, full of love for his son. "Xiao Zheng, you are just too young. You don't know how important the position of the defense zone leader is. You have to work in this position for two or three years, and you have to work harder and achieve more results than other positions."

Li Zheng slammed his fist on the table. "This is too despicable. Let Captain Li go."

The person on the other end of the phone sighed, "I didn't do anything. Did I force him to marry that capitalist lady? He was the one who was caught because he was not a good person."

"Dad is just reminding you that you must seize this opportunity."

Li Zheng is a young man in his twenties. How can he compete with his father, the old hand who is so slippery and has no ties to anything? He even refused to admit that he had any hand in the matter. In the end, Li Zheng could only hang up the phone angrily.

……

"Secretary Li, you are here!"

"Let me see how you are doing at work."

The man pushed up his thick glasses and asked, "How is it going? Any useful information?"

The person being questioned was somewhat embarrassed. "That man is a military man with a strong sense of anti-reconnaissance. If he doesn't fall for it, nothing can be gotten out of him."

Secretary Li hummed, as if he had known this would happen, and asked, "Where's that woman?"

Someone answered, "Yes, that woman is spoiled, it's easy to take action against her, just scare her a bit and she'll get anything out of her."

Unexpectedly, the man said, "That woman is harder to deal with."

Several people were very shocked, "How come she looks so weak, but is so difficult to deal with?"

"She is just too weak," the person being questioned waved his hands, looking like he had a headache. "She refuses to eat or drink, her face is pale, and she can't speak a word. I saw that she was breathing out more than breathing in, and I was just about to report the situation to you."

"I'm afraid she'll die here."

……

Li Changpu smoothed out his clothes and said, "Twenty-four hours have passed. I can go now."

Several people looked at Li Changpu who stood up without saying a word.

Li Changpu looked at them and said, "I want to see my wife."

"No, her affairs have not been explained clearly yet."

Jiang Tingxia has arrest documents, so the investigation will take longer.

Li Changpu clenched his fists and spoke in a normal tone, "I just want to see her. She is not your prisoner. She is just cooperating with the investigation."

Several people looked at the leader in embarrassment. They didn't mean to prevent the couple from meeting each other, but there was a problem with the woman and they couldn't let them meet.

Li Changpu keenly noticed the hesitation in the eyes of the people in front of him, and he felt that something was wrong.

After leaving the investigation room, he did not walk out. Instead, before others could react, he suddenly pushed open a door next to him, but unfortunately there was no one there.

He was very agile and no one could stop him. Li Changpu quickly pushed open several rooms and shouted, "Jiang Tingxia! Where are you!"

They were investigated separately and he hadn't seen Jiang Tingxia for a long time. He really wanted to hear Jiang Tingxia's response at this moment.

Someone rushed over, but he pushed the door open in a few seconds. For a moment, he was like a deserted place, until he pushed the door open and saw Jiang Tingxia lying limply in the corner.

His expression changed drastically and he ran over to help the man up.

He looked at Jiang Tingxia's closed eyes and pale face, and his heart was as chaotic as the noisy raindrops, hitting his brain and making it go blank.

"Listen to Xia! Listen to Xia!"

He called out twice, and seeing that Jiang Tingxia didn't respond, Li Changpu picked up Jiang Tingxia and was about to leave. The people who surrounded him blocked his way. Looking at these people, Li Changpu's eyes turned red with hatred, "What's wrong with her?"

"What did you do to her?"

Seeing Li Changpu's murderous look, the people around him stood half a meter away from him in fear. Someone stepped forward to persuade him, "Calm down first. She just hasn't eaten for too long. She might have fainted from hunger."

Some people also wanted to intimidate him, "You made a scene in the investigation department and took people away by force. Have you thought about the consequences?"

Jiang Tingxia lay in Li Changpu's arms, her slender arms hanging down as if exhausted, like a butterfly that had lost its vitality, falling and dying.

Only the slight rise and fall of her chest showed that Li Changpu had not completely lost his mind.

He held Jiang Tingxia in his arms and walked out the door step by step, "I want to take her to the hospital."

A few young people came up to him and tried to stop him, but they were kicked away three or four meters by Li Changpu the next second. "I told you all to get out of here."

Li Changpu looked at the group of people in front of him, his eyes full of hatred. If it weren't for them, Jiang Tingxia wouldn't have fainted.

How could this group of people let Li Changpu and Jiang Tingxia leave? If that happened, everyone would be held responsible, so they could only surround them and try their best to stop them.

But they were no match for the furious Li Changpu and several of them were kicked over.

Until Li Changpu felt Jiang Tingxia tug at his clothes, and his pale lips moved, "I... am fine."

She mouthed, "Don't worry."

Seeing Jiang Tingxia's reaction, Li Changpu finally felt relieved and turned to question the investigation team, "How dare you resort to lynching!"

"The person has not been convicted yet, and you have no evidence, yet you abuse the military dependents and deny them food."

The people in the investigation team were shocked and said, "Don't blackmail me."

"We sent her food, but she just didn't want to eat it."

The investigation team also said, "Miss Jiao, when we asked her to eat some sorghum flour and black bean buns, it was like asking her to die. She refused to eat a single bite."

The man said angrily, "With her attitude, I can send her directly to reform."

Jiang Tingxia finally held his breath and said, "I will never accept your false accusations. If you don't clear my grandfather and I of our innocence, I would rather starve to death than eat a bite of your food."

Li Changpu's face changed. Based on his understanding of Jiang Tingxia, she didn't seem to be the kind of person who would put herself in a difficult position. It was very likely that it was just as they said, she was being picky about the food and starved herself to death.

Li Changpu glanced at Jiang Tingxia, whose eyes were a little evasive, and his throat was blocked. He could only cough and looked at the others, "You heard it. You are torturing people both mentally and physically."

After hearing what Li Changpu said, Jiang Tingxia said nothing. She was indeed so hungry that she was seeing stars, and the words she had just said to defend herself had used up all her strength.

They were not wrong, they did deliver the meal, but the steamed buns scratched his throat and the soup smelled like slop. Jiang Tingxia really couldn't eat it and simply didn't eat a single bite.

The person who brought the food just said, "You won't die of starvation if you skip two meals. If you don't want to eat, then don't eat."

It was not until she had not eaten or drunk anything for a long time that Jiang Tingxia's face turned pale. They panicked and yelled, "Are you threatening us with a hunger strike?"

Jiang Tingxia was in a dilemma. She couldn't let them think that she was not cooperating with the investigation and was on a hunger strike, but she couldn't just say that she couldn't eat the sloppy food they sent her, as that would confirm their accusation against her. She could only roll her eyes and faint.

He was indeed hungry, but also a bit pretentious.
