When they arrived at the dormitory building, Jiang Pei scattered steel balls when no one was around. Because the balls were covered in yellowish-brown medicinal wine, they were not conspicuous on the cement floor and could not be noticed unless you looked closely.

Looking at the "fruits" of her labor, she nodded in satisfaction.

Anyone who slips and falls down these stairs will either die or have their mouth bleeding profusely.

Moreover, Gu Shaoying is a young girl carrying a child. If she falls, she could be half-dead. Just thinking about it is thrilling.

Jiang Pei smelled her hands, which were covered in medicinal wine, and shook her head, choked by the smell.

This taste is really addictive, just like Huoxiang Zhengqi Water (a traditional Chinese medicine). I don't know where my comrade found this folk remedy.

Whether it can treat sprains and bruises is unknown, but it can definitely make someone fall flat on their face.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she hurriedly left with her lunchbox, wiggling her hips, waiting for good news.

Gu Shaoying and her companion rested in the dormitory for a while before taking the two children out of their swaddling clothes and thoroughly examining them.

I was relieved to see that the two of them were completely alright.

The young soldier who was helping her soothe the child glanced at his watch and realized it was lunchtime, so he urged her to come with him to the canteen with the child in his arms.

"Wrap the child up well, it's quite windy outside, don't let them catch a cold."

Gu Shaoying was more cautious than anyone else; the little incident that had just happened was truly terrifying.

She didn't want any more mistakes to happen.

"Girl, you take care of the baby. I'm a grown man and I really don't know how to do this. I can hold and comfort the baby, but I'm really not up to the task."

The young soldier looked on, completely at a loss; he was a bachelor who had never done anything like this before.

This was another task assigned by his superiors, so he had no choice but to come.

However, the two little ones are quite close and don't cry or fuss.

If Jiang Pei hadn't come to cause trouble, I'd never seen the two children cry; they were quite easy to soothe.

"Brother, you've already done enough by letting me handle this. You've helped me for so long."

Although you said you had never done these things before, I can see your patience and attention to detail.

He'll definitely be an exceptionally good man to his sister-in-law and child in the future.

Even these two kids are laughing on your shoulders!

"Aren't you little darlings? Uncle is making you all so happy!"

Gu Shaoying praised the baby while wrapping the baby up.

She was genuinely grateful to them.

If it weren't for his help this time, who knows what dangers his two nephews would have been in?

"Girl, you flatter me. It's not as good as you say. I was just forced into this role."

"That's right, I'll get angry with anyone who says you're bad."

The two carried the child and walked out, with Gu Shaoying following closely behind because she was unfamiliar with the area.

The young soldier had just come down the stairs when he stepped on a steel ball, immediately lost his balance, and tumbled down the stairs.

Fortunately, the soldier was agile and quickly scooped the child into his arms, bent over, and rolled down.

Gu Shaoying was so frightened that she trembled and screamed.

She watched helplessly as the young soldier tumbled down the stairs and lay on the ground for a long time without getting up.

His face showed extreme pain and distress. Fortunately, the child was shielded to his chest and was not injured at all.

The little guy is too young to understand; he didn't cry at all and wasn't scared at all.

Gu Shaoying was about to go downstairs to check the situation when she was stopped.

"Hey girl, don't come down, there seems to be something on those stairs."

Gu Shaoying quickly withdrew her foot and bent down to look, but saw nothing unusual.

Finally, I touched it with my hand and found something sticky. When I picked it up, I realized it was a steel ball.

Isn't this something only found in bicycle bearings?

How did I end up here?

It looks like it's still covered in grease, and it smells like alcohol.

This is really weird. How did all this stuff end up on the stairs?

She ran her hand along the stairs again and found quite a few more; there were these beads on almost every floor.

This was clearly not an accident; it was obviously something someone did on purpose.

Which bastard did such a despicable thing?

Gu Shaoying practically shuffled down, one step at a time, while still sitting.

"Brother, are you alright? Should I call someone to take you to the infirmary?"

Seeing that the other person's nose was scraped and there was bloodstain on the brow bone, it was clear that the injury was quite serious.

"It's nothing serious, just a headache from the bump. Luckily, the child is alright."

Today is really strange. Coaxing the chief of staff's child is like going through a tribulation. How come one problem after another arises?

I only have one life, and in less than an hour I was so scared that I was practically half dead.

"Damn bad luck! Girl, did you even see what was on the stairs?"

"They are steel balls."

Gu Shaoying picked one up and placed it in his palm.

"This thing? How did it get here? Did someone drop it because they didn't pack it properly?"

"That's hard to say. Did someone drop it accidentally, or did someone spill it on purpose?"

Since there's no evidence, we can only accept our bad luck.

Your dormitory building is full of hidden traps; I won't dare come here again.

Gu Shaoying's initial excitement hadn't even worn off when these two things completely ruined her interest.

All I wanted was to leave this place as soon as possible.

The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

The two of them simply took brooms and swept the stairs thoroughly from top to bottom.

They swept out almost half a pocketful of steel balls.

Gu Shaoying's face darkened immediately upon seeing these items.

"Brother, there are so many beads. I don't believe they fell by accident at all. Someone must have scattered them there on purpose."

"Who could this be? Could it be Jiang Pei?"
