I Went Viral After Dating a Superstar-Chapter 183 - 173: Heart-to-Heart Talk

Fang Zongli said, "Wow, how could this happen, a husband dismembering his own wife?"

"Yeah, because the couple had some marital issues."

"That’s horrifying. How could someone do that to the person they sleep next to?"

He smiled, "Sometimes, the human heart is a terrifying thing. You know, in our cases each year, the majority are committed by acquaintances. Often, many people are more forgiving towards strangers than to those they know well. The more you see, the more you understand."

Fang Zongli thought about it and felt it was true. What difference did a bed partner make?

She sighed, "Although I’ve dealt with many cases where couples, once the envy of everyone as the perfect onscreen pair, split up and attack each other over unequal distribution of money, and I’ve seen many celebrities who maintain a loving public image but are constantly cheating or getting caught soliciting prostitutes – petty stuff, really – and then they go back and continue the act as a couple in public, living separate lives in private. But these, to me, are just numbly acceptable compared to the sheer inability to accept someone who resorts to murder and such brutal dismemberment."

"People can sometimes be paranoid and mad, regardless of age, sex, profession, or income."

She said to him, "Alright, seeing as you’ve worked yourself to the bone for the safety of our people, I won’t expect a thank you for giving you a ride this time."

"..."

It’s all because of her darn spicy snack sticks.

"Then I thank you for your understanding!" he said, exasperated.

She giggled, "Don’t mention it. We’re all one big family, military and civilians alike."

"..."

Mu Qianli hadn’t yet had time to give Fang Zongli a housewarming gift when she heard that Fang Zongli had gone to the hospital to accompany a neighbor for an IV drip.

She wondered when Fang Zongli had become so kind.

Of course, Fang Zongli was a good person, but they were usually so busy there was rarely a chance to interact with people. Even with neighbors, they might only meet once or twice a year.

She didn’t ask further. Finally off work, she was driving home when unexpectedly, her car broke down halfway there.

She hurried out of the car and pulled over to the side of the road, ready to call for help.

That’s when another car stopped beside hers.

From the car, Gu Xunyi glanced back, quickly got out, and came over.

"What’s happened, broke down?"

Looking at him approaching, Mu Qianli internally cursed the damn car that chose now of all times to break down. Inexperienced with such situations, she was unsure what to do.

"Yeah," she said.

He came over, "Let me make a call for a tow truck. Your import might not be easy to deal with directly. Later, let someone take a look at it."

"I just called my family..." she said.

"No worries, even if your family comes, you’ll need a tow truck... But you need your family to handle this? I didn’t see it coming, Sister Qianli; your life skills seem pretty lacking."

"I..." Mu Qianli gave him a look, "That’s called professional specialization!"

He looked at her and smiled.

Soon, the tow truck arrived.

Behind them, someone recognized Gu Xunyi and immediately reached for their phone.

Mu Qianli quickly said, "Comrade, you can’t take pictures!"

Gu Xunyi smiled, turned around and said, "Comrade, how about I take a photo with you instead? Don’t snap me with Sister Qianli, or the reporters will write nonsense. How about that?"

The passerby was thrilled, "Ah, that’d be great!"

After the photo, the passerby was overjoyed and told him, "You’re such a good person!"

Mu Qianli breathed a sigh of relief, watched him handle the situation smoothly, and said to the tow truck operator with ease, "Please continue your work, thank you."

Watching her car being towed away, she said without words, "Then, thank you."

Gu Xunyi stared at her, giving her a deep look.

"See, you still have to rely on yourself when it comes down to it, your boyfriend isn’t here, and you, you’re completely unable to call him."

Mu Qianli’s face grew ashen, "Hey, we cleared this up already, don’t start again."
