Jiang Pei used all her strength, gritting her teeth as she pressed down on the blanket.

A moment later, the older brother began to struggle below, his limbs thrashing about, clearly in extreme pain.

Unfortunately, his weak body was powerless to fight back and he could only endure it.

The little feet kept kicking and thrashing, growing stronger and stronger, and the struggles became more and more intense.

The younger sister on the other side was unaware of what was happening, staring at everything in the room with her two dark eyes.

Jiang Pei's face was full of fat, her face was flushed with tension and she was sweating, but she did not loosen her grip at all.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, a series of firm "thump-thumps."

Jiang Pei let go of the blanket.

She picked up the small blanket, and there was her brother underneath, his head covered in black and purple, his mouth wide open but he couldn't even cry out, he was just struggling in pain.

She pretended to be kind and picked up the child, placing him on her shoulder and comforting him while patting his back.

He turned around and opened the door.

The young soldier standing outside was also taken aback when he saw that it was Jiang Pei inside.

Every veteran in the army knows that Jiang Pei is almost insanely infatuated with Chief of Staff Gu.

She was practically ready to throw herself on him in front of everyone and consummate their marriage.

Wasn't it Chief of Staff Gu's sister, Gu Shaoying, who was comforting the child? What's she doing inside?

"Jiang Pei, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, Gu Shaoying went to the restroom and asked me to watch the child for her."

The young soldier had barely glanced at his older brother when he broke out in a cold sweat.

The older brother's head was completely red, and he couldn't even cry; he just opened his mouth wide but couldn't make a sound.

Her little hands were flailing about, she looked extremely uncomfortable.

"The child is in such a state, how did you manage to comfort him? Give him to me right now, or something bad will happen."

The young soldier pulled his brother out of Jiang Pei's arms, placed him face down on his own arm, and patted his back repeatedly.

Fortunately, I had previously studied first aid procedures with military doctors in the medical ward for a few days, so I knew some first aid knowledge for choking.

The way my brother looks is very similar to suffocation.

He kept patting it.

A sudden cry made the young soldier's heart sink.

Jiang Pei rolled her eyes, feeling incredibly angry.

They're so blind! They know how to pick their time to come back. If they had come back any later, they would have finished their mission.

With this brat dead, the Gu family line will end. Xia Enruo, what are you so arrogant about?

She even wants to have a son to continue Gu Shaoxuan's family line! Bah! The only one who can continue Gu Shaoxuan's family line and have a son is me, Jiang Pei!

"They don't appreciate kindness. They help soothe the child and get complaints in return! What kind of people are they!"

Jiang Pei was about to start cursing, but she wasn't afraid of these soldiers. Would she let them criticize her?

After relieving herself, Gu Shaoying hurriedly ran back.

Seeing the two people standing at the door, the nephew kept crying and didn't know what had happened.

"What are you all doing? Standing at the door instead of coming inside, the child will catch a cold!"

The young soldier saw Gu Shaoying running back and said:

"That kid almost suffocated to death just now. His head was turning purple and his lips were black."

Gu Shaoying glanced at her nephew. Although he had recovered a lot, she could still see that the child's face was flushed, unlike that of a normal child.

Jiang Pei hurriedly said:

"It's not red at all, isn't this a normal color? Don't make false accusations. I tried to help but ended up doing something wrong. You can't just make baseless accusations like this."

Gu Shaoying's heart immediately burned with anger.

"Whose child's face is normally radish-colored? You're really lying through your teeth."

If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have rather suffocated than let you help me. You're really something! You got it all in just a few minutes.

He's just a pretty face with no substance; he can't do anything right, all show and no substance.

"You...you're just like your sister-in-law! I would never have looked after the child if I'd let him roll on the ground and die!"

Jiang Pei turned her head, pretending to be angry, and walked away.

"It's none of your business what kind of person my sister-in-law is. You're just being nosy and meddling in other people's business. You should use that time to learn how to coax children."

Seeing Jiang Pei leave, the young soldier tugged at Gu Shaoying and tried to persuade her:

"Hey girl, that's enough. Let's go inside. You can rest for a bit; the cafeteria will be opening soon."

The leaders told us to take the children to the canteen later; they also wanted to see the chief of staff and his 'double baton'.

Jiang Pei hadn't gone far when she heard this. She stopped, turned around, and looked back. Only after seeing the two go inside and close the door did she continue walking away.

The young soldier pulled Gu Shaoying into the house, sweating profusely as he said:

"Girl, you're really bold. You actually asked her for a favor! Don't you know her relationship with your brother and sister-in-law?"

Gu Shaoying looked bewildered and shook her head.

Aren't they comrades-in-arms? What other relationship could they have?

"Jiang Pei has always been in love with the Chief of Staff; everyone in the regiment knows that. She was always clinging to your brother, and even after your sister-in-law married into the family, she still did the same."

They'd love for your brother to divorce your sister-in-law so she could marry into your family.

Every time your sister-in-law goes to the military base, Jiang Pei looks at her with a gaze that seems to want to devour her. We all see it and feel disgusted by it.

You actually asked her to help you take care of the child? Isn't that like throwing a lamb to the slaughter?

You didn't see it just now, but your nephew's head turned purple and he almost fainted. If I had come back any later, he might be dead by now.

Upon hearing this, Gu Shaoying felt a sharp, throbbing pain in her head, as if she had been electrocuted.

She quickly picked up the child and saw that her nephew's face had recovered about 70-80%, and although he was crying, it seemed that he was out of danger.
