After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 1143 - 49: National Security Visit

Upon hearing this, Scarlett said, "How many peaks did you rush?"

Xia Chuyi: ...

Scarlett’s pronunciation almost made Xia Chuyi burst into laughter.

"Wendy, you use her English name—Wendy, Wendy Jiang."

"OK, Wendy!" As soon as the English name was mentioned, Scarlett remembered it immediately.

Xia Chuyi nodded on the other end of the phone, thought for a moment, and then said, "If you don’t have Wendy’s contact information, you can also help me tell my classmates..."

"Ask them to help me find out if Wendy has a boyfriend."

Hearing Xia Chuyi’s question, Scarlett immediately became excited and said, "Don’t worry, my dear Xia, I’ve got this covered!"

Xia Chuyi couldn’t help shaking her head.

Looks like the interest in gossip transcends nationalities.

"Thank you, Scarlett," said Xia Chuyi. "When you receive any news there, let me know during our routine contact next week, I really appreciate it."

"OK, no problem!" Scarlett said.

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi smiled slightly and said, "Bye-bye."

Then she hung up the phone.

The phone she held had just been hung up.

The man behind her picked her up and said, "From now on, no staying up late."

Since the call was made, Xia Chuyi grinned at Huo Shiqian and said, "Okay, no more staying up late."

A few days later, it was time for Xia Chuyi and Scarlett’s routine contact.

"Hello, Scarlett?" Xia Chuyi answered the phone and spoke to the person on the other end.

"Dear Xia!" Scarlett said enthusiastically upon answering, "I’ve completed the task you assigned me!"

"That Wendy, she has a boyfriend, she already has one!" The first thing Scarlett mentioned was naturally this piece of gossip.

"I heard her boyfriend is also a man from Z Country, who chased her all the way to the United States from Z Country!"

"Oh, Chuyi, it turns out you Z Country folks can also be so passionate..."

As she was speaking halfway, the call seemed to cut off suddenly.

"Hello? Hello? Scarlett?" Xia Chuyi spoke into the phone.

However, all that remained on the other end was a busy tone.

Maybe there was a problem with the line? Xia Chuyi thought.

Not long after Xia Chuyi hung up the phone, it rang again.

"Hello, Scarlett?" Xia Chuyi asked.

But the voice on the other end was not Scarlett’s.

"Chuyi, if someone comes to your house later, remember, don’t say anything." The caller was Huo Shiqian.

"What?" Xia Chuyi was utterly confused upon hearing Huo Shiqian’s words.

However, Huo Shiqian calmly said, "In any case, if someone comes, don’t speak."

"I’ll handle everything."

After speaking, Huo Shiqian hung up the phone.

Xia Chuyi stared at the receiver in her hand, with a puzzled expression.

Why on earth did Huo Shiqian say that?

Just as Xia Chuyi was pondering this.

Bao Mansion—Xia Chuyi and Huo Shiqian’s home—welcomed an uninvited "visitor."

After the guard let the person in, he said to Xia Chuyi, "Sister-in-law, these are people from National Security."

"National Security?" Xia Chuyi was extremely surprised.

National Security, also known as Homeland Security.

This department generally handles external affairs; why would they come to see her?

After the guard introduced the person, the visiting National Security officer showed Xia Chuyi their credentials.

Judging by the credentials, the visitor seemed to be a senior official in that department.
