When the morning bugle sounded the next day, Chu Molin woke up, but he didn’t get up right away.

Instead, he gently released Qin Xue after the bugle stopped and quickly got dressed and washed up before heading out for training.

Meanwhile, he didn’t make any noise during this time, fearing that he might disturb his little wife, who had barely fallen asleep.

When Qin Xue woke up, it was already past seven o’clock. She glanced at the time and realized there was no time to make breakfast.

Qin Xue cooked up some fish porridge and then fried a few scallion pancakes for Chu Molin, leaving a note for him.

She packed a couple of scallion pancakes for herself, grabbed her bag, and headed out the door.

Sigh, she had to attend training at the factory today. Why had she woken up so late?

Perhaps she didn’t sleep well the night before, as she had been up several times. She didn’t hear the wake-up bugle this morning and was quite distressed.

She hadn’t written a training plan yesterday either. Fortunately, she had a draft in mind; otherwise, she might have broken her promise today.

Qin Xue went to wait for the bus to the county seat; she planned to find Fang Hong at the store. She took out and ate the pancakes on the bus, their scent filling the entire carriage.

The passengers in the carriage couldn’t help but look over at Qin Xue and swallow their saliva.

In this era, when people could barely get enough to eat, there weren’t many opportunities to enjoy such delicious scallion pancakes.

Feeling embarrassed by all the attention she was receiving, Qin Xue just smiled at the onlookers and quickly finished the pancakes, almost choking in the process.

It wasn’t until she took a sip of water from her bottle that she felt better.

Upon returning home and opening the door, Chu Molin didn’t see his little wife but instead smelled the fragrance from the pancakes and porridge throughout the house.

Putting the key on the shelf and washing his hands and face, he went to the bedroom but still didn’t see her.

Chu Molin then went to the living room and saw the note in the kitchen, which said that she had gone to the store.

There was fish porridge simmering on the stove, and scallion pancakes as well. Chu Molin smiled, ladled some porridge into a bowl, and brought the pancakes to the table to eat leisurely.

After taking his time to finish breakfast, he washed the dishes and dried his hands before leaving the kitchen.

He fastened his belt, checked his reflection in the mirror to make sure it wasn’t crooked, took the water Qin Xue had prepared for him, locked the door, and went to work.

As soon as Chu Molin arrived at his office, Li Dabao came with a stack of materials for him.

“Deputy Section Chief, here are the investigations you asked me to do regarding the incidents involving your sister-in-law these last few months. They’re all here,” Li Dabao placed the materials on Chu Molin’s desk.

He had gone through a lot of trouble to investigate these matters involving Qin Xue, and his progress had been quite fast.

But then again, how could someone who had been handpicked to work with the Cold King lack ability?

Chu Molin glanced at Li Dabao and began reading through the materials. However, the more he read, the darker his expression became.

The air in the office grew colder, and Li Dabao shivered. He wanted to escape, but what could he do?

He had conducted the investigation, so he knew why Chu Molin was angry.

Even Li himself was furious upon reading the information. How much angrier must the Deputy Section Chief be?

Bai Jing not only cheated Qin Xue out of her money and tickets but also tarnished her reputation.

And that wasn’t all; she had even lured Qin Xue out and let others hurt her.

Knowing what the Deputy Section Chief was like, Bai Jing was in for a world of trouble.

As for Su Yun, who had hurt Qin Xue, even though she was the granddaughter of the old director, the Deputy Section Chief wouldn’t let her off the hook either.

Most people thought that the Camp Leader was called the Cold King merely for his cold exterior and ruthlessness. Only those who spent significant time with him knew how truly terrifying he could be.

Chu Molin slammed the materials onto the desk.

“Very well. These people dared to bully my wife while l, Chu Molin, was away,” He said, growing increasingly calm despite his anger. His calm was the chilling kind that sent shivers down others’ spines.

Whenever Chu Molin took on a task, he would always complete it with great speed..
