Having said what they needed to say, the soldier and Chen Zhenxing prepared to leave, and Qin Zheng and Gu Jin got up to see them off.

As he left the ward, the soldier glanced specifically in the direction Cai Manni had been standing.

It's all gone now.

The soldier glanced into the ward instinctively. Ye Yun was sitting on the hospital bed, writing and drawing in a small notebook, unaware of what was happening outside. Seeing this, he looked at Qin Zheng with a sob.

Qin Zheng realized he had something to say, glanced at him, and walked towards a corner not far away.

The soldier quickly followed.

Seeing this, Gu Jin also took Chen Zhenxing over with great interest.

"Um... Brother Qin, don't blame me for being nosy, but I just wanted to ask you, what's your relationship with that woman you were talking to earlier?" The soldier handed Qin Zheng a cigarette and asked cautiously.

Qin Zheng: "Why are you asking this?"

"It's that woman... she came to the factory before and caused trouble for Ye Yun," the soldier said truthfully.

Qin Zheng was taken aback.

"Oh, that girl is Qin Zheng's slutty love interest, she's really into him!" Gu Jin, always eager for drama, said with a smile.

Qin Zheng paused in his smoking motion and shot a cold glare at him.

Gu Jin shrank her neck and muttered under her breath, "Tch~ Can't I even speak the truth?"

"What are you muttering about?" Qin Zheng frowned and kicked him, his tone dissatisfied: "Sometimes I really suspect you have ulterior motives towards me. You're always trying to mess with me. Are you hoping something happens to me and Ye Yun?"

Gu Jin shuddered immediately. "Ugh~ Stop being disgusting, I wouldn't even look at you."

Then he turned to the soldier, his face turning serious, and said, "You said Cai Manni went to the garment factory to cause trouble for Ye Yun?"

His serious expression revealed a hint of gloom, which was quite intimidating.

The soldier nodded repeatedly, pulling Chen Zhenxing's arm and saying, "Factory Director Chen was there that day too, and she said some really nasty things, anyway..."

"What is it?"

"She kept belittling Da Meizi in her words, saying that Da Meizi was holding you back, that Da Meizi wasn't good enough for you, basically she just wanted Da Meizi to leave you!" The soldier blurted out, looking at Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng leaned against the wall, his eyes slightly lowered, and remained silent for a long, long time.

Seeing this, the soldier could only say, "Brother Qin, you and the girl have a good relationship. Don't let this woman ruin it. Stay away from her if you can."

"Okay, thanks, soldier."

Qin Zheng finally raised his head and thanked the soldier without revealing any emotion.

The soldier quickly waved his hand and said it was no big deal.

"It's getting late, we have to go back to the factory. We'll visit the girl at the pastry shop another day." The soldier didn't say much more and tactfully pulled Chen Zhenxing away in a hurry.

Before long, the two figures had disappeared from Qin Zheng and Gu Jin's sight.

With a whoosh, the matchstick ignited in the wind. Gu Jin lit a cigarette, leaned against the wall, and silently exhaled clouds of smoke. Suddenly, he looked in the direction the two had left and chuckled.

"How do I do it?" he asked.

Qin Zheng glanced in the direction where Cai Manni had been standing, his gaze dark.

Gu Jin lazily exhaled a puff of smoke and chuckled, "I thought she would only come to bother you, but I didn't expect her to be so bold as to secretly go to see Ye Yun. Isn't that going to kill you?"

During this period, Cai Manni kept going to their construction company.

It's fair to say she's never stopped.

Taking advantage of Qin Zheng and Ye Yun's absence, she would try to get close to Qin Zheng whenever she had the chance, and if there was no opportunity, she would create one, such as investing in the construction company or offering suggestions.

I have to say, studying abroad has its advantages.

Having witnessed the development of the West, she possessed progressive ideas and sharp insight. Her suggestions were highly beneficial to the company's development, so she gained the approval of the construction company boss after only a few appearances at the company, and was given the opportunity to freely enter and leave the company and contact Qin Zheng at any time.

But she shouldn't have done that,

I shouldn't have gone to see Ye Yun.

She wanted to be with Qin Zheng, so she just needed to seduce him. Whether Qin Zheng paid attention to her or not was his business. Why bother Ye Yun?

"I'll make a call."

Qin Zheng suddenly spoke up.

As if he had made up his mind, his face darkened, and he turned and walked out without looking back.

Gu Jin's expression froze. She quickly bit down on her cigarette, grabbed his wrist just in time, and said in a deep voice, "Qin Zheng, are you crazy? If you make that call, you're finished!"
