Chapter 280 Checking the Accounts
The car was driving on the winding mountain road, and the scenery outside the window flashed by quickly like a slide.
Chu Mingzhou turned his head to look at Lin Anan from time to time. Seeing that she was frowning, he gently stroked the back of her hand, trying to give her more comfort.
Halfway through the journey, Lin Anan suddenly felt nauseous. She covered her mouth with a look of pain.
Seeing this, Chu Mingzhou was extremely anxious and quickly asked the driver to stop the car and helped Lin Anan get out of the car to get some fresh air.
"An An, how are you? Are you feeling unwell?" Chu Mingzhou's voice was full of anxiety. He held Lin An An tightly, his eyes full of worry.
Lin Anan shook her head. "It's just that the road was bumpy and I feel carsick. I'll just rest for a while."
Chu Mingzhou felt very distressed. He helped Lin Anan to sit on a rock nearby, poured some water from the kettle and handed it to her to rinse her mouth.
"An An, you are pregnant now and your body is so weak. You have had hard work along the way." His voice trembled slightly and was full of self-blame.
Lin Anan wanted to laugh. Chu Mingzhou was always calm and steady. It was rare to see him so flustered now, like a young boy.
She drank some water and felt better. She held Chu Mingzhou's hand and comforted him, "Mingzhou, I'm fine. Don't worry. These are just minor problems. They will be fine in a while."
"Well, we have to go to the Heshi Military District station first, arrange the route and then return to the northwest. You have to hold on. When we get back to the northwest, I will take you to the hospital as soon as possible to make sure you and the child are safe."
Lin Anan nodded.
Bai Xiufang, who got off the car, couldn't help but frown when she heard about the Heshi Military District garrison, "Captain Chu, you don't know, my sister-in-law and I suffered a lot at the Heshi Military District garrison!
We wholeheartedly support the organization's work, but we are being harassed everywhere! My sister-in-law is ostracized for not wearing a military uniform, and she is also criticized for taking a few pills. My sister-in-law has repeatedly emphasized that she was only commissioned temporarily..."
Bai Xiufang kept yelling and Captain Ke couldn't stop her.
Gu Yan's face darkened as he listened. "So this is the case? I thought that female comrade just couldn't endure hardship, and An An was the only one who could speak multiple languages, so she was pulled in as a replacement."
"Replacement?" Bai Xiufang's voice rose a degree.
"Um."
Now, after the two of them put the situation together, they knew what was going on.
Bai Xiufang was so angry that she slapped her husband twice, "Great! I told my sister-in-law at that time that Hu Li is quite capable and has worked with senior leaders many times. At most, he is a little arrogant, but his character is not that bad!
From this point of view, she is obviously bullying! No, this is not only bullying, there must be something fishy! She is either a relative or has a backer. Otherwise, how can she replace someone just because she wants to? The organization is currently rectifying its atmosphere, I am going to report her!"
"Hey, auntie, please shut up." Captain Ke quickly reached out to pull the person.
Chu Mingzhou's face instantly turned pale, and his voice was low and cold: "I will thoroughly investigate this matter."
Lin Anan nodded, her little face full of grievance, and she looked like a fox taking advantage of the power of another.
"Mingzhou, they are just bullying me!"
"They said I was a sickly person and wanted to drive me away. They even didn't let me eat properly. I would be scolded if I coughed."
"You must vent my anger for me! You have to teach them a lesson..."
Gu Yan glanced at her sideways, with a strange look in his eyes.
It's no wonder he felt something was wrong, because Lin An'an was very kind in front of everyone, and would answer any questions she asked, helping if she could, and properly handling any that she couldn't help with. Her personality was inherently strong, and she didn't like to cause trouble for others.
But now...she actually complained to Chu Mingzhou?
Gu Yan had never seen that little bit of exaggeration before.
Very fresh and very good.
Fortunately, when everyone reconciled the accounts, they realized that the matter was more complicated than they had imagined.
Chu Mingzhou looked down at Lin Anan, his eyes full of pity. He raised his hand and rubbed her head gently, "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer in vain. No one can escape."
Bai Xiufang was stunned when she saw that Lin Anan, who was always well-behaved and low-key...actually made a complaint with exaggerated details!
Then they immediately understood and cooperated with each other tacitly. The two of them talked back and forth and cleansed Chu Mingzhou's brain.
Captain Ke raised his hands to cover his face, he really couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
And...this was the first time he had seen Captain Chu like this.
Are you being led by your sister-in-law?
After everyone took a short rest, Chu Mingzhou helped Lin Anan back into the car.
The car started again and continued to drive towards the He City Military District base.
After a while, Lin Anan fell asleep in Chu Mingzhou's arms.
Chu Mingzhou looked at her peaceful sleeping face with an unspeakably gentle expression.
When the military vehicle finally arrived at the Heshi Military District’s base, Chu Mingzhou was reluctant to wake her up. Instead, he picked her up and carried her horizontally, heading straight towards the dormitory.
Chu Mingzhou carried Lin Anan to the dormitory, gently put her on the bed, tucked in the quilt for her, and looked at her tenderly for a long time.
After settling Lin Anan, Chu Mingzhou turned and walked out of the dormitory. The gentleness on his face was instantly replaced by seriousness and coldness.
Gu Yan came here only for Lin An'an, to help rescue the villagers of Yaosan'ao, that was his own initiative. But he would not interfere in the affairs of the Heshi Military District garrison at all, he and Bai Xiufang stayed by Lin An'an's side, pretending that they did not see anything.
However, with Gu Yan watching over him, Chu Mingzhou felt more at ease. He still needed to arrange his subsequent itinerary and report on the disaster.
The Heshi Military Region’s garrison has moved to a village on higher ground.
The flood was too severe this time and the losses at the Heshi Military Region’s garrison were also quite heavy.
Chu Mingzhou went straight to Major Zhao's office.
Major Zhao had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Chu Mingzhou coming, he immediately stood up and saluted, "Colonel Chu."
Chu Mingzhou just nodded lightly and sat down in the main seat.
Although Chu Mingzhou is only a battalion commander, he leads the "Dragon Tooth" special operations battalion, which is the most ferocious and has the most outstanding combat achievements in the country. A battalion has only four or five hundred people, but each of them is the elite among the elites. Whether it is individual combat or team combat, they are the best.
'Dragon Fang' is the organization's sharpest knife.
Chu Mingzhou's rank of colonel is different from that of others. He did not get it by age, but earned it through hard work.
Major Zhao also wiped his sweat when he learned that Lin Anan was Chu Mingzhou's lover.
Scary!
Why not be afraid?
Chu Mingzhou is well-known for his brutality in the army.
"Colonel Chu, what's the disaster situation over there?"
However, in the face of the current flood, Major Zhao feels that Chu Mingzhou will put the overall situation first and will not put personal feelings before the national crisis.
Besides, it wasn’t a big deal. It was just a recognition of Lin Anan. She would be assigned an assignment only if she was useful.
As for this flood, no one wanted it to happen...
The rest of the officers arrived one after another.
Chu Mingzhou looked serious, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, staring directly at Major Zhao, and said in a deep voice: "This flood is extremely serious. No village in Chunshan Town is spared. The situation is not optimistic. There are many injured and sick people. Medicines and food are in short supply. Rescue is urgently needed..."
Chu Mingzhou remembered the kindness of the villagers of Yaosan'ao, so he focused on the area where they lived.
