Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 171: The Medal for Su Yijia

But since she opened her mouth earlier, once in the police station, it wouldn’t be up to her to choose to speak or not. Su Yijia looked indifferent as she watched Qin’s mother and the two men being dragged away by the crowd. Along with them, she and Qin’s father had to go to the police station for questioning.

Although Qin Kaize was the groom and should have stayed to see off the guests, he was in no condition to handle them well.

"Ze, you’ll go to the police station with Yijia to assist the police in their investigation. She’s just a young girl and might be scared. You’re already Yijia’s husband, take care of your wife, okay? Let me and Ke handle the guests here," cautioned Xia Weiguo with concern.

People nearby were somewhat incredulous upon hearing this.

The bride, who was so fierce, would be afraid? She’s the kind of person who’d roll up her sleeves and fight even in the lion’s den.

Su Yijia was also feeling a little embarrassed.

"I’m sorry, Uncle Xia. I’ve caused trouble for you today," she said apologetically in a soft and gentle tone.

Although Su Yijia appeared obedient and gentle now, after the battle of just under four hours, everyone knew full well—she was a total tigress.

However, it’s good for Qin Kaize to have a more capable wife now. At least, when something bad happened, she could handle both household and external matters. As long as she could settle down, she would live a good life with Qin Kaize. Thinking this way, everyone’s eyes on Su Yijia shew more and more satisfaction.

"Yijia, listen to what you just said. What does it mean by trouble? Clearly, it’s those two who aren’t behaving properly, unexpectedly causing so much trouble. My and Kaize are to blame, too. We always knew they weren’t decent people, but we never dealt with them, which allowed them to push their luck." Xia Weiguo said, feeling quite guilty.

One of the leaders, sneaking glances at Su Yijia for a long time, spoke hesitantly, "Su, have you ever performed a brave act in the past?"

"Huh?" Su Yijia was a bit confused by the sudden question. But then she understood and nodded, "Yes, at the end of June, I casually caught a few human traffickers and handed them over to the police."

"Yes, yes, yes! I thought the name sounded so familiar; I even thought it was a same-name coincidence." Several leaders immediately chimed in.

These were leaders from the city, while those from the military were baffled.

The leader who asked the question then chuckled and explained, "Comrade Su did more than just catching a few human traffickers. She also overheard those traffickers’ plans to meet other accomplices that night and reported it to the police. That night, we caught over a dozen human traffickers, rescued more than twenty girls and seven or eight children. At the time, she rescued six girls and two children. This incident made it to the newspapers, and the city even used it as an educational example."

"Yijia made it to the newspapers? Why don’t we know about this incident?" Xia Weiguo asked with curiosity.

"Huh? Did I not mention it?" Gao Huabin was surprised and scratched his head.

"Did you mention it?" Xia Weiguo stared at him with exasperation."

Su Yijia felt a mix of amusement and exasperation, "There was just too much going on at that time, so I forgot about it."

She barely had any leisure time in the last month. Distilling some Whitening Lotion at home and making some Functional Restoration Ointment was the closest she got to having a day off.

Presumably, the police from the station later visited Qin’s family with journalists but were misled by Qin’s father and mother, and they came to Su’s home. That’s why Uncle Xia was kept in the dark.

"Ah, Yijia is such an honest child. She and Ze are indeed a natural pair, both good, patriotic, and righteous youths. She’s even done a good deed. This medal has just come down. I was planning to announce this good news during the banquet, but due to the chaos, I never got the chance. Now, while we’re at it, I’m giving her this medal."

Xia Weiguo took out a velvety box from his pocket, inside of which rested a gold and red medal.

Although outside the book world, Su Yijia had received a medal of a higher grade than this one, in this world, having earned such a high-grade medal within a month was quite impressive.

She wasn’t picky; she appreciated any recognition.

"Thank you, Uncle Xia," Su Yijia happily accepted the velvet box and carefully observed the medal inside.

"This is your achievement; why are you thanking me?" Xia Weiguo reminded with a smile.

The leaders around echoed in agreement, "Indeed, this is the selflessness and generosity of Comrade Su, and it’s also your achievement."

China had a rich history of 5,000 years. There were surely countless good and miraculous prescriptions. However, those willing to share were incredibly rare.

However, these circumstances were a result of various factors. Perhaps the situation wiould improve, and the country might see more patriots willing to contribute these treasures to benefit the country. Nevertheless, at least in the presence of these leaders, Su Yijia had successfully transformed from an intimidating, formidable person into a patriotic individual, a promising young person—a comrade fully deserving of being matched with the great hero, Qin Kaize.

After exchanging a few courteous words, Gao Huabin and Zhu Zirui followed Qin Kaize and Su Yijia to the police station. Qin’s father also went, but they took two separate cars.

Seated in the car, Su Yijia took out the medal and wore it proudly on her chest.

"Look, doesn’t it look good?" She playfully showed off to Qin Kaize.

However, upon gazing at the rows of medals on the military green uniform of the man, she felt a pang of distress and lowered her long lashes.

"You must have suffered a lot before. What should I do? I suddenly don’t want to cure you! If you get better, you’ll probably return to the military and do many dangerous things again," Su Yijia murmured softly as she lightly touched the array of medals.

"Don’t worry, even if I recover, there’s no guarantee I’ll pass the physical test. Then I’ll be with you all the time," Qin Kaize reassured her with a smile.

However, Su Yijia wasn’t at all consoled. Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Qin Kaize.

"Don’t you trust my medical skills? I said I’ll heal you. It means you’ll be as if you were never injured before, plus the Functional Restoration Elixir and the Great Strength Pills will make you even stronger than before. The elixir not only restores a healthy body but can also repair and enhance damaged organs and body parts to a better state. If I weren’t afraid of pain and death, I’d be tempted to injure all my parts and then use the elixir to repair them. But for you, the setback could turn out to be a blessing in disguise. The toxin destroyed all parts, organs, and nerves in your body. Think about what your body will become after using the Functional Restoration Elixir," Su Yijia explained, her tone now tinged with a hint of envy.
