Chapter 589 You really have no conscience

"Instructor Gu, lunch is about to start, are you going out?"

After finishing their training, the team members were heading to the canteen when they encountered Gu Hongjie carrying a thermos.

"Yes. I need to go see Commander Xiao."

Gu Hongjie's words immediately made the atmosphere strange again.

Zheng Changqing naturally played along and continued to ask, "Going to dinner with Brigade Commander Xiao?"

Before answering, Gu Hongjie glanced at Su Jin and said in a loud voice, "Brigade Commander Xiao's stomach problem has flared up. This is a stomach-soothing porridge that I personally cooked for him in the canteen. I'll take it to him."

When Su Jin heard that Xiao Yunfeng's stomach ailment had flared up, a hint of worry finally showed on her originally "calm" face.

However, it only lasted for a moment before she quickly disappeared again.

Zheng Changqing's voice rose in concern, "Has the brigade commander's stomach problem flared up? How serious is it? Has he gone to the hospital?"

Looking at his anxious expression, Gu Hongjie couldn't tell if he was playing along or if he genuinely believed her.

"It's not too serious, but I'm still worried. I have to go now, I need to get there quickly."

Without giving Zheng Changqing a chance to continue asking questions, they walked past them.

"What exactly is wrong with Instructor Gu? Even if Brigade Commander Xiao's stomach problem flared up, shouldn't it be Su Jin who goes to check on him?" Han Shizhong couldn't stand it anymore and frowned, expressing his incomprehension.

Hu Li chimed in, "Yeah, anyone who didn't know better would think Instructor Gu was Commander Xiao's girlfriend!"

"Su Jin, why don't you go and take a look too?"

Everyone except Zheng Changqing was urging Su Jin to hurry up.

In their hearts, Su Jin was Xiao Yunfeng's official girlfriend.

Although Zheng Changqing didn't say anything, he was more eager than anyone else for Su Jin to get anxious and upset.

Su Jin simply said, "Instructor Gu can go and see for himself. Besides, I'm not a doctor, so it won't do me any good."

"That's not how it works, is it? The brigade commander is sick, he definitely wants to see his girlfriend."

"Su Jin, are you a little silly? Can't you tell that Instructor Gu is acting strangely towards Brigade Commander Xiao?"

Gu Hongjie visited their home last night, and today she's bringing them some stomach-soothing porridge. Even they, a group of clueless bumpkins, can tell that her intentions are "impure."

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, all expressing their concern for Su Jin.

Su Jin remained silent instead of answering.

Military region office building.

When the knocking sounded, Xiao Yunfeng was completely absorbed in the thick stack of documents in front of him.

"Come in."

Knock knock knock.

The people outside didn't seem to hear him; the knocking continued.

Xiao Yunfeng had no choice but to raise his head and increase his volume.

"Come in."

The door opened, and Gu Hongjie walked in from outside.

Upon seeing that it was her, Xiao Yunfeng frowned slightly.

"Why are you here at this hour? Is there something wrong with the action team?"

Gu Hongjie curled her lip, "What you really want to ask is whether Su Jin is alright, right? Just because she's alright doesn't mean I can't come to see you. You really are a friend-forget-friend situation."

Upon hearing her words, Xiao Yunfeng's tense nerves immediately relaxed.

"I'm busy right now, I don't have time to chat with you."

As he spoke, he glanced again at the document he had only half-read.

"You really have no conscience! I've been working myself to the bone for you, and this is what I get in return? It's truly disheartening!" Gu Hongjie's tone was incredibly exaggerated.
