"Huh?"
Xiao Aiguo was stunned when he saw the photo.
The man in the photo really is Zhuang Mingcheng.
He frowned, then turned and picked up the letter again; it did indeed bear Li Dajun's name.
"Comrade Zhu Haiming, we have a guy named Li Dajun in our regiment, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Zhu Haiming shook her head and said firmly, "That's impossible. I have photographic evidence, and he also said in the letter that he is the battalion commander of the First Battalion."
Xiao Aiguo was taken aback. He nodded and said, "He is indeed a battalion commander, but only a deputy one. I roughly know what's going on."
His face was very grim. He turned his head and shouted loudly towards the door, "Xiao Liu, go and call Li Dajun. Tell him not to delay and to run over here!"
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Aiguo looked at Zhu Haiming again.
Looking at the stylish capitalist's daughter, he didn't know how to start the conversation. If things turned out the way he thought, it would be incredibly embarrassing!
Using Battalion Commander Zhuang's photo to lure people from Shanghai, Li Dajun, that bastard, is truly despicable!
"Comrade Zhu Haiming, please sit down and wait a moment. Things will become clear soon."
Seeing that Zhu Haiming's face was a little pale, he quickly said, "Don't worry, I, Xiao Aiguo, will never cover up for anyone. I will definitely give you a satisfactory result in this matter."
...
"Battalion Commander Zhuang, it's time to eat."
"Battalion Commander Zhuang, have we got a new recruit in our regiment?"
"Battalion Commander Zhuang, who is this? Could it be your wife?"
...
Zhuang Mingcheng casually replied a few words, then pulled Lu Fangfang straight to the cafeteria.
Before long, the two arrived at the entrance of the cafeteria.
Just as he was about to go inside, Zhuang Mingcheng felt the woman behind him pulling at him.
"Let go! Let me go!"
Zhuang Mingcheng was taken aback; he sensed that Lu Fangfang was truly angry at this moment.
Looking back, he saw Lu Fangfang staring stubbornly at him.
Aren't you hungry?
I'm not hungry!
At that moment, there were five or six people from the regimental headquarters standing around her. Lu Fangfang felt very uncomfortable being stared at and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"It was my oversight."
Zhuang Mingcheng apologized, but he still didn't let go.
He turned around and pulled Lu Fangfang towards the east.
"Hey? Where are you dragging me to this time?"
"guest House!"
...
The regimental headquarters' guesthouse was rather simple and couldn't compare to those in the county town.
Zhuang Mingcheng registered with the staff in front of him, and then took Lu Fangfang into a double room.
"You rest for a bit, I'll be back in a bit. This is a military area, so don't wander off."
Leaving behind a message, Zhuang Mingcheng picked up the thermos and turned to leave.
Lu Fangfang stood alone in the room, somewhat bewildered.
After a while, she saw a washbasin on the shelf next to the door, went over, poured some water, and washed her face thoroughly.
She wiped herself with a towel, then stared at her reflection in the mirror, lost in thought.
Pulling her long braid down to her chest, she took out a photo from her pocket and compared it to the one in front of her.
"So young."
Three years ago, "she" was pretty much the same as now, except that her braids were longer and she had more fine downy hairs around her mouth.
With a sigh, she walked to the bedside and sat down.
Looking around, Lu Fangfang didn't know what to do. Should she really listen to the "scumbag" and obediently wait for him to come back in the house?
...
Reception room at the regimental headquarters.
"Bang, bang, bang."
Xiao Aiguo, his face grim, shouted, "Come in!"
"Squeak."
A man in his thirties walked in through the door.
He wasn't very tall, about 1.7 meters, but he was quite strong and muscular.
Panting heavily, he strode up to Xiao Aiguo, saluted, and asked, "Political Commissar, you wanted to see me?"
"snort!"
Xiao Aiguo looked Li Dajun up and down.
He seemed like a very honest and kind person, but I never expected him to do such a shameful thing.
"Political...Commissar, what's wrong?"
Li Dajun felt extremely uncomfortable under Xiao Aiguo's gaze, and he even stammered when he spoke.
"Bang!"
"What else!"
Xiao Aiguo slammed his fist on the table and pointed at Zhu Haiming, shouting angrily, "Li Dajun, look at the person on the bench! Do you recognize her?!"
Li Dajun turned his head and stared blankly at the spot.
After a long pause, he murmured, "Hai Mei, you... how did you get here?"
As soon as he said it, he immediately covered his face with his hands.
"Bang!"
Xiao Aiguo stood up abruptly in anger, pointing and shouting, "So, Li Dajun, it really is you!"
He paced back and forth a couple of times, feeling both ashamed and angry. "Look what you've done! How am I supposed to explain this to people?"
Xiao Aiguo was even angrier when he saw him covering his face and not daring to face anyone.
"Li Dajun!"
"arrive!"
"Put your hands down. You have the nerve to do such things, are you afraid of losing face now?"
Li Dajun closed his eyes and slowly lowered his hand.
"You bastard, open your eyes!"
"..."
Zhu Haiming sat blankly on the bench, no longer able to hear Xiao Aiguo's cursing.
At this point, she was completely stunned.
Is this really Li Dajun?
Is this small, man the Li Dajun she was corresponding with?
"I've been deceived! I, Zhu Haiming, thought I was a smart person, but I actually got fooled..."
Holding the photos she had brought with her, she looked at the man inside, then glanced up at Li Dajun in the room.
She chuckled foolishly and slowly began to tear it.
