Qi Yunxin hadn't been to the army for a long time. Later, Yang Fenglin asked others and learned that Qi Yunxin had applied for discharge himself.

Since Qi Yu's incident, Qi Yunxin has been bullied a lot in the army.

Sometimes when some people go too far, Yang Fenglin will say a few words in defense of Qi Yunxin, but he knows that he has no real stance and his words are not entirely sincere.

Yang Fenglin knew he shouldn't hold a grudge against Qi Yunxin, but as the youngest son of the Qi family, he couldn't separate Qi Yunxin from the Qi family. Yet, Qi Yunxin was his best brother since childhood.

Qi Yunxin left, and he actually breathed a sigh of relief, at least he would have less to worry about.

After his family's ordeal, Yang Fenglin's previous idea that "he could live a peaceful life relying on his family" changed. He began to consider making achievements for himself, and that his father would one day be like his grandfather. If he lived a mediocre life, no one would be able to protect his family anymore.

Yang Fenglin had connections and was ambitious, so he was promoted very quickly.

"Fenglin, someone is looking for you outside. Go out for a moment."

Looking for me?

"I'll be waiting for you right at the gate."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fenglin hurried to the main gate of the camp.

Upon seeing the figure outside, he hesitated for a moment.

Just then, Qi Yunxin saw him, and Yang Fenglin had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over.

"Old Qi, what brings you here? How have you been lately?"

The two had not been in contact for several years. In the past few years, under Yang Changping's suppression, the Qi family had suffered repeated setbacks. Qi Zhong withdrew from the center of power and was transferred to the Northwest Military Region. He was no longer in Yancheng.

Yang Fenglin originally thought that Qi Yunxin would go with him, but apart from Qi Zhong, the entire Qi family stayed in Yancheng.

According to Yang Changping, this is because the Qi family does not want to give up their hard work in Yancheng, and Qi Zhong still hopes to make a comeback one day.

"Fenglin, something's happened to my sister. We can only turn to you now. You have to help her, for the sake of our childhood friendship!"

"What? What happened to your sister?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Fenglin's pupils dilated involuntarily.

“My sister… she was reported for falsifying accounts. She wouldn’t do that, you know her character, she would never do such a thing. Fenglin, you have to help us with this.”

Qi Yunxin's face showed an unusual anxiety as he awkwardly repeated his plea for help.

Yang Fenglin lowered his eyes and said, "Okay, I'll ask my father about this when I get back."

"Uncle Yang, he..."

Seeing Qi Yunxin's hesitant expression, Yang Fenglin felt a pang of sympathy. He said, "If your sister is really wronged, my dad will definitely be willing to help."

As he spoke, he noticed a tinge of emotion mixed with Qi Yunxin's hesitation, and for a moment he became furious: "You mean to say that my dad did this? Qi Yunxin! My dad said he wouldn't harm you or Qi Yunjie, and he kept his promise! This has absolutely nothing to do with him!"

No, that's not what I meant.

Qi Yunxin offered a guilty explanation, while Yang Fenglin took a deep breath, exhaled, and said, "Alright, I'll call my dad right now. Forget it, I'll go talk to him face-to-face. Do you want to come with me?"

"I... I guess I'll pass."

Even though Yang Changping said he wouldn't blame them, Qi Yunxin still didn't know how to face Yang Changping.

"Where are you going? I'll take you there."

"good."

Sitting in Yang Fenglin's passenger seat again, Qi Yunxin felt a mix of emotions he couldn't quite describe.

As Yang Fenglin drove, he couldn't help but persuade him, "If I were you, instead of being pointed at and gossiped about in Yancheng, you would rather go to the Northwest with Uncle Qi. Although the conditions there are not as good, at least with Uncle Qi around, your future will definitely be better."

Yang Fenglin's heartfelt words were met with Qi Yunxin's silence.

After a long pause, Qi Yunxin finally said, "I've grown up here, and I can't bear to leave."

"good."

Seeing Qi Yunxin's attitude, Yang Fenglin didn't say anything more.

"How is your sister? I heard she's doing a master's degree now."

"Yes, she and my brother-in-law get along very well. You..."

"No, I was just asking. I'm getting married soon too, you have to come!"

Qi Yunxin's words made Yang Fenglin tighten his grip on the steering wheel. He turned to look at Qi Yunxin: "Are you getting married?"

"right."

"Who is this person? Do I know them?"

Qi Yunxin shook his head: "She's just an ordinary girl from an ordinary family. I met her at work. You don't know her."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fenglin simply said, "That's good. As long as we can live a peaceful and stable life, that's fine."

In the past, when the two were in the car together, Yang Fenglin would always talk to himself the whole way, but now, Yang Fenglin found himself speechless.

After a silent journey, Yang Fenglin escorted Qi Yunxin to the entrance of his workplace.

After getting out of the car, Qi Yunxin repeatedly urged, "Feng Lin, I'm entrusting this matter to you. She's my only sister, so you absolutely must help me rescue her!"

"Don't worry, I will do my best."

After dropping off Qi Yunxin, Yang Fenglin drove to Yang Changping's office.

When Yang Changping saw him coming, he said, "Why did you come at this time? You've only been behaving yourself for a few days, what kind of trouble are you up to now?"

"Dad, I need your help with something."

Seeing that Yang Fenglin's tone was off, Yang Changping looked up and examined him closely: "What happened? Did you get into trouble again?"

"Dad, it wasn't me."

No one knows a son better than his father. As soon as Yang Changping saw Yang Fenglin's expression, he knew that this matter was even bigger than the trouble Yang Fenglin had caused.
