This military wife was quite feisty; she rolled her eyes and gave a cold laugh.

"You don't know yet, do you? Director Zhou has already resigned."

"What?"

Lin Yao was startled. The medicine bottle in her hand fell to the ground with a "clatter." Without bothering to pick it up, she grabbed the soldier's wife's arm and asked anxiously.

"Why did you suddenly quit?"

I don't even know if they've dealt with Zhou Qiqi yet.

The military wife shoved her away, saying, "I don't know! Even if I did know, I wouldn't tell you!"

Lin Yao didn't even bother to tidy up and ran straight to the family compound.

Zhou Shuhua's house was locked, so she skipped over to Qiu Chunfang's house.

Qiu Chunfang was washing dishes when she lowered her voice and said, "It's true! Several people saw us moving things today, and they even took the banner!"

"Why?"

The two were talking in the living room when Zhao Yi was helping Yi Meng check her dictation at the dining table next to them. Qiu Chunfang didn't want him to hear, so she pulled him to the vegetable garden in the backyard.

"It must be related to Zhou Qiqi! I overheard it through the crack in the door this morning. It sounded like Director Zhou was calling her over! Later, Commander Shen carried her back. She looked really angry, and soon after, she started moving things around. I guess Zhou Qiqi really angered Director Zhou!"

Lin Yao didn't care much about that; what she was more concerned about was...

"How's Zhou Qiqi? Did she get scolded?"

Qiu Chunfang frowned.

"Oh, I didn't know that. I was too busy watching the commotion over there. But judging from the fact that Commander Shen carried him back, he must have suffered quite a bit!"

He then covered his mouth and laughed maliciously.

"That's fine then."

Lin Yao's heart, which had been clenched with worry, finally relaxed, and the corners of her mouth were about to turn up in a smile.

The next second, a silvery laugh came from the backyard next door, followed by a woman's voice.

"real?"
