Chapter 266 Where is Mr. Pao?

Qi Xu just casually said a word of concern, and Lin Zheng was so moved that he burst into tears.

Fortunately, Ayou had good vision and married a smart and capable wife. The Lin family now has a successor.

Hey! Forget about it, just work hard! Pay off your debts sooner, and you can retire sooner.

Just be a free laborer.

All fathers in the world are like this, working themselves to death for their sons and daughters-in-law, like slaves, hoping that the next generation will be better than the previous one.

After Qi Xu dealt with Lin Youqian's affairs, he planned to return to Hucheng. He hadn't lived with Lin Youqian for a long time and missed him terribly.

Especially after experiencing that ultimate happiness, she also felt a little greedy.

After getting off the bus, she dragged her pink suitcase and headed straight for her nest like a happy little sparrow.

"Lin Youqian, I'm back!"

The house was cold and deserted, the windows were closed, the table was covered with dust, and there was no sign of human life.

"Lin Youqian, where are you? I'm back."

I searched every corner of the house, but couldn't find Lin Youqian. Looking at this room, it seemed like it hadn't been lived in for over 20 days.

So where did he go?

Qi Xu took out his cell phone and called Lin Youqian. "Honey, where are you? What are you doing?"

"Baby, did you miss me? I told you I was in the lab. I've been pretty busy lately."

"Okay!" Qi Xu felt relieved when he heard his voice.

"Well, I miss you. How about we video chat? I haven't seen you for a long time. I want to see if my Da Pao Pao has become more handsome."

"Uh~" The other party hesitated for more than ten seconds before answering.

"I'm in the lab, dealing with military secrets, so I can't video chat. We can meet when you get home!"

Qi Xu asked. "When will you be home? I'm home now and waiting for you!"

Uh~uh~uh~the other party’s brain has crashed!

He didn't know how to answer this question, so he simply hung up the phone.

Qi Xu called again, but the other party didn't answer the call.

Soon, Qi Xu realized that something was wrong, and she rolled down the stairs like a ball of fire.

First ask the security guard at the door.

"Where's Mr. Pao? Where did he go?"

The guard had been scowling since the moment he saw her, and now he was so worried that he couldn't even open his mouth.

"Pao Ye, Pao Ye is the superior. How would I know where he went? I haven't seen him for more than ten days."

"Xiao Pao's wife, why are you back?"

Qi Xu asked him back. "This is my home. Can't I come back? Tell me honestly, what the hell is Mr. Pao doing?"

"Sister-in-law Xiao Pao, I really don't know."

It wasn't that the guard refused to tell him, he simply didn't know. He was just a small soldier, so how could he dare to ask where his leader was?

What's more, the itineraries of special scientific research leaders like Pao Ye are all confidential.

When the guard refused to tell her, she went to ask someone else.

Qi Xu ran to the Political Department building without even knocking on the door, and went straight into Lu Shixu's office.

"Second brother, do you know where Lin Youqian went?"

This problem also troubled Lu Shixu. However, he didn't want to hide it from him.

"He's doing scientific research at a secret experimental base. He won't be back in the short term."

Qi Xu's expression was like he was about to cry. "Second brother, you didn't lie to me, did you? He really is at the experimental base. Did something happen? Wasn't he imprisoned?"

Lu Shixu was certain. "Stupid, how could Second Brother lie to you? He really didn't do anything wrong. He was just on a business trip. Didn't you see it last time? He was promoted to colonel."

As long as he didn't see Lin Youqian in person, Qi Xu would always feel uneasy.

"Then how long has he been gone, and how long will it take for him to come back?"

"He left the arsenal the day you went to Kyoto, and his return date is uncertain."

Qi Xu knew that the nature of military work was special, but she still found such a worrying life difficult to bear.

It’s not that I can’t stand the loneliness, but I’m worried about his safety.

"Brother, can you help me contact him? I want to video chat with him. I haven't seen him for a long time."

"We used to talk on the phone every day. But today he hung up on me, and now no one is answering. I'm so worried that something has happened to him."

Phew, Lu Shixu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Silly girl. Do you think the person who calls you every day is really Lin Youqian? That's an AI robot."

"Master Pao was worried that you were bored and lonely, so he asked the higher-ups to get a top-notch robot to monitor your phone and keep you company."

"Haven't you noticed that every time you call, the other party answers immediately?"

"Ah? A robot?" Qi Xu was completely bewildered. No wonder she felt something was amiss with Lin Youqian recently.

Although his voice, tone, and demeanor were exactly the same as Lin Youqian's, the content of their conversations was pure as could be. He no longer made those sexually suggestive jokes with her, nor did he tease her with those cheesy love words.

She thought that this guy had changed his personality and was no longer lustful.

So, she spends hours on the phone with a robot? She even actively teases it with sweet nothings? This is so embarrassing.

"Ah! How could you lie to me like this! You are such a bully!"

The army isn't to blame for this, Lu Shixu explained. "Don't blame us, this is all Master Pao's request."

"Moreover, the robot will transmit your chat content to it every day using a secret code. Therefore, it can know what you said, what you were doing, and how you were doing."

No wonder he was able to rush over when Ms. Wen and Lin Zheng divorced that day.

However, he actually knew everything he chatted with the robot, while she was like a fool, knowing nothing.

It seems even more embarrassing.

Especially, after hearing those cheesy love words she said, he would probably laugh at her to death.

"Woo~ I can't live anymore. I can't live like this anymore."

"My life as a military wife is so frustrating."

"I've been married to him for so long, and I feel like a little widow. He's either in solitary confinement or in a secret base. I don't know when he'll be back."

"Woo--I'm so depressed!"

"Originally, he wanted to be demobilized, and I tried to persuade him to stay. Now, I absolutely disagree. When he comes back, I'll make him demobilize immediately and resolutely. If he doesn't, I'll divorce him."

"Humph! I'm so pissed off!"

Qi Xu's words of transfer and divorce were like a missile dropped from the sky, blowing up the entire political department.

Tian Youwei was the first to jump out and try to persuade them earnestly.

"Sister-in-law Xiao Pao, you can't say that. You have to be calm and composed. Think about it, you are a military wife. You have to be politically conscious and consider the overall situation. You have to be able to endure loneliness and endure solitude."

"If you have any difficulties, please tell us and we will do our best to help you. But please, don't let Pao Ye change his career."

"I know you need him. But the army needs him too, and the nation's military research needs him even more."

"We sacrifice small righteousness for the greater good, and sacrifice our own families for the sake of the greater good. It's hardship for you, but happiness for thousands of families. On behalf of all the soldiers in the army, thank you!"
