Chapter 278: Quarrel and Beating
The wife dodged quickly and kicked the captain's calf. "You bastard!" she cursed.
The two men wrestled in the room, knocking the furniture all over the place.
The captain was a policeman after all, and his physical fitness was better than his wife, so he quickly gained the upper hand.
He pressed his wife against the wall, glared at her and said, "Behave yourself! Stop making trouble."
The wife refused to give in. She struggled and said, "Let me go! You can't do this to me.
I am doing this for our own good, for the good of this family."
After hearing what his wife said, the captain's anger subsided a little.
He let go of his hand, took a step back, looked at his wife and said, "Do you think I don't want to do this for the good of this family? But Chen Yang is in danger now, we can't just sit there and watch.
Qi Tongwei is a policeman. He spared no effort to save his lover. We should also do our part.”
The wife wiped the sweat from her face and said with a gasp: "I know you are trying to save people, but your method is too risky. We can think of other safer ways."
The captain shook his head, “There’s no time to think of other solutions now.
We must act quickly, otherwise Chen Yang’s life may be in danger.”
The wife was silent for a while, then said, "Okay, I don't mind you searching for information on the Internet.
But you also have to be careful not to put yourself in danger.”
The captain nodded, "I'll be careful. Don't worry."
"Be careful!"
"You bastard, you still say that?!"
After the captain finished speaking, he slapped his wife in the face. The crisp sound echoed in the air, as if it also shattered the already fragile relationship between them.
The wife staggered a few steps after being slapped unexpectedly. She covered her burning cheeks with her hands, her eyes full of shock and grievance.
"You...how could you do this? Hit me again!"
The wife's voice trembled and tears welled up in her eyes.
She never expected that the captain, who had just promised to be careful, would attack her in the blink of an eye.
The captain looked at his wife and felt a little regretful, but his anger was still burning.
“I told you not to worry about it, but you didn’t listen.
Things have become so complicated now because of your meddling."
The wife's tears finally burst out, and she choked up and said, "I am doing this for your own good, for the good of this family. How can you not understand me?"
The captain simply couldn't listen to what his wife said. He just felt upset by his wife's meddling.
"For my own good? You're just causing trouble! I don't need your 'good'."
The wife was deeply hurt by the captain's words, and her emotions completely exploded.
"You've gone too far! How could you do this to me?" As she said this, the wife rushed forward and wanted to fight back.
The captain instinctively raised his hand to block his wife's attack, and the two of them wrestled again.
This time, their fight was more intense, as if they wanted to vent all the dissatisfaction and anger in their hearts.
They rushed around the kitchen, knocking pots and pans all over the place.
The wife grabbed a plate and threw it at the captain.
The captain dodged sideways and the plate hit the wall, breaking into several pieces.
Then, the captain was not to be outdone. He overturned the pot on the stove, and the food in the pot spilled all over the floor.
"Look at yourself now, what kind of words are you talking about!" the captain roared.
"You were the one who started it! You bastard!" the wife cried.
The kitchen was a mess, with broken dishes, scattered food, and the angry figures of two people, making the home seem to be torn apart in an instant.
The warmth and happiness they once had disappeared at this moment.
The wife continued to struggle with the captain while crying, her heart filled with despair and pain.
She didn't understand why two people who once loved each other would become like this.
She just wanted to care about the captain and share some of his pressure, but this was the result she got.
The captain also lost his mind in anger. He kept pushing his wife and cursing.
He felt that his wife's meddling had put him in a difficult position and prevented him from carrying out his plans.
However, in their arguments and fights, neither of them realized that their actions had caused great harm to each other.
Their relationship became so fragile at this moment, as if it could break at any time.
As time passed, their physical strength was gradually exhausted.
Finally, both of them stopped and looked at each other breathlessly.
There was a tense and depressing atmosphere in the kitchen, and their hearts were filled with contradictions and pain.
The wife collapsed on the ground, tears streaming down her face.
She looked at the mess on the ground, her heart filled with regret.
She regretted her meddling and the quarrel and fight that had taken place between her and the captain.
The captain also stood aside, looking at his wife silently.
His heart was also filled with regret. He knew that he shouldn't hit his wife and shouldn't be so angry with her.
But he also felt helpless and he didn't know how to face the current situation.
Then, the captain slowly squatted beside his wife, his eyes full of guilt and heartache.
He stretched out his slightly trembling hand and gently stroked his wife's cheek where he had hit her.
His wife's face was still a little red and swollen, which was the mark left by his impulsiveness.
"I'm sorry. I was really wrong."
The captain's voice was low and hoarse, full of regret.
He looked at his wife, tears in his eyes.
"I shouldn't have hit you or gotten so angry with you. I know I went too far."
The wife turned her face away, but her tears continued to flow.
Her heart was filled with grievance and anger, and she did not respond immediately to the captain's apology.
The captain looked at his wife's reaction and felt even more regretful.
He knew that his behavior had deeply hurt his wife, and it was all because of his impulsiveness and irrationality.
He began to reflect on his behavior, why did he lose control at that moment? Why did he hit his wife?
He thought of the good times they had, the days they spent together filled with warmth and happiness.
They have been through ups and downs together, supporting each other and facing the difficulties in life together.
But now, he destroyed it all because of a momentary impulse.
"I know nothing I say now can make up for my mistake, but I really hope you can forgive me."
There was a hint of pleading in the captain's voice.
"I shouldn't let my emotions control my behavior, I should handle the situation more calmly."
The wife still didn't say anything, but just cried silently.
