Chapter 23 Giving Qiao Qiao a Token of Love
He walked back, his military boots squeaking on the ground. He looked at Zhou Chong coldly, "The electrical appliance store under your name on South Street has been closed because the wiring is illegal."
"If you don't leave now, what awaits you is not the closure, but continued compensation for the losses caused to the neighbors next door by the fire caused by the short circuit. I also have money to help those neighbors fight the lawsuit."
Zhou Cong's face changed instantly. He didn't understand where a small soldier like Fu Juechuan got all those connections in the officialdom.
"I don't believe it." Zhou Chong was full of doubt.
"You may not believe it." Fu Juechuan said casually.
Zhou Chong believed it instead. His shop was already out of stock and he could only sell some worthless gadgets to pay for the rent. If the shop was closed again, he would probably lose money.
Zhou Cong frowned and left quickly with Jiang Yao, not caring about making things difficult for Ye Qiaoqiao.
"Brother Fu, how do you know about Zhou Chong's old case?" Ye Qiaoqiao took Fu Juechuan on the truck and headed straight back to the team.
Fu Juechuan said, "I just did some research."
Ye Qiaoqiao thought that only Brother Fu, the prince of the capital, had such connections, so Zhou Chong had hit a wall.
"Thank you, Brother Fu."
"I asked someone to check Zhou Cong's five stores directly. If they find any problems, they should be closed down." Fu Juechuan hesitated, "Am I too harsh?"
"Cruel? No, not at all!"
However, Ye Qiaoqiao did not say that Zhou Cong's five stores were all very clean, otherwise her father would have found out long ago. However, this was Brother Fu's intention, so she did not say it.
The two of them quickly drove to the place where the road collapsed.
"Qiao Qiao, be careful."
Fu Juechuan helped her get off the truck and stepped on the muddy ground. Before he could say more, the battalion commander in charge of the rescue route got the news and rushed over.
He shook hands with Ye Qiaoqiao enthusiastically and said, "Thank you Comrade Ye and Comrade Jiang for donating the supplies. With these, the soldiers' lives will be much better in the future."
Fu Juechuan lowered his eyebrows and saw that the battalion commander had stained Ye Qiaoqiao's white hands with mud and they were red from the cold.
His eyes darkened, and he quickly took out the gloves and put them on Ye Qiaoqiao, saying, "Qiaoqiao, the conditions here are not high, and the altitude is higher than Huaicheng. You should wear them well and don't catch a cold."
"Good boy, you are taking advantage of female comrades." The battalion commander glared at him.
Fu Juechuan stood tall, looked directly at the battalion commander, and said in a firm voice: "In reply to the leader, Qiao Qiao is my fiancée."
Ye Qiaoqiao's ears inexplicably felt hot, as if she heard restraint in Fu Juechuan's words.
"Hmm? You are such a close relationship? Your fiancée came to see you when you were injured, donated supplies, and came here with you?" The battalion commander's voice was a little sour, and he patted Fu Juechuan's shoulder with his big hand, "Very good, you know what it means to hurt the heart of an old leader like me. Who doesn't want to go home to be with his wife?"
When Ye Qiaoqiao heard the word "wife", her ears turned red.
"Okay, get back to work. Comrade Ye, come with me to register the donations and the quantity. The troops will register and issue certificates of appreciation later."
The battalion commander separated the two without any hesitation.
Before Fu Juechuan could say anything, Ye Qiaoqiao looked at his arm worriedly.
"It's okay. I can work with one hand." In order to reassure her, Fu Juechuan softened his voice. "I promise to take good care of my injuries in the next three days. I promised you."
"Okay, then Brother Fu, you can't lie to me." Ye Qiaoqiao believed it.
Fu Juechuan nodded.
Ye Qiaoqiao watched Fu Juechuan leave, and saw that he was indeed bending down with one hand to pick up the gravel on the ground. Only then did she feel at ease and followed the battalion commander into the simple tent built in the farmland next to him.
Ye Qiaoqiao spent an hour confirming the quantity of supplies with the soldiers left behind by the battalion commander.
She saw hot water boiling on the stove next to her and quickly filled a bottle with a military kettle.
Ye Qiaoqiao was going to look for Fu Juechuan, but not long after she walked, she saw him still working on the road. It was so cold, and there was sweat on his forehead, which showed how much he had suffered. Yet, he remained silent. His strong willpower made Ye Qiaoqiao admire him, but also felt a little soft in her heart.
"Brother Fu, would you like to drink some hot water first?" Ye Qiaoqiao walked to Fu Juechuan, opened the kettle and handed it to him.
Fu Juechuan wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, looked her up and down, and made sure that she was not feeling unwell. Then he took the kettle and drank a few sips to warm up his body.
"Qiao Qiao, have all the goods been moved down?" Fu Juechuan looked back at the two trucks and said, "You can follow the trucks back later. You can still reach Huaicheng before dark."
"Brother Fu, are you going to chase me away?" Ye Qiaoqiao asked in surprise.
Fu Juechuan shook his head but did not stop what he was doing.
"According to the current progress, we will be able to clear the road wide enough for a truck to leave by 7 or 8 tonight. I was supposed to follow the supply convoy to the southwest war zone, but I had to stay here because of an accident."
"As soon as the traffic is open at night, I will leave with it."
"I'm worried about leaving you here alone at night." Fu Juechuan explained the reason to her seriously. His gentle gaze made Ye Qiaoqiao swallow the words she wanted to refute subconsciously.
"Do we have to go to the war zone?" She didn't know why, but when she heard the news, her worries grew stronger.
Fu Juechuan couldn't help it and covered her eyes full of emotions with his palms.
Ye Qiaoqiao blinked subconsciously, and her long eyelashes were like a small brush, tickling his palm. He subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but he restrained himself.
"Qiao Qiao, I will come back safely. I will definitely come back before the New Year."
"Even if I'm still in the war zone, I still have vacation time to come back. I'm just going to get to know the war zone now. Unless there are special circumstances, I won't be eligible to go to the battlefield until next year. Just think of me as someone who's transporting supplies."
Fu Juechuan said words to comfort her.
Ye Qiaoqiao had no reason to refuse. After all, she couldn't stop Fu Juechuan from moving forward and fighting. It would be right for him to be as powerful as he was in his previous life.
"good."
"Qiao Qiao, this shell is for you." Fu Juechuan put a shell tied with a rope into her palm. It looked smooth but dark, and it was obvious that it was very old.
What does it mean to give her a bullet shell...?
Ye Qiaoqiao's heartbeat slowed down, especially because the shell was still warm.
This was just taken out from Fu Juechuan's chest. She quickly realized this and couldn't help but look up.
Fu Juechuan was buttoning his shirt with his head down when her nose bumped into his firm chin.
"Hmm..." Ye Qiaoqiao subconsciously covered her nose, and tears welled up in her eyes due to the pain.
"Qiao Qiao, are you okay?" Fu Juechuan moved faster than he thought. He lifted her face with his hand to check the wound on the tip of her nose. Seeing that it was red, he subconsciously wanted to apply medicine, but found that he had no medicine on his hands.
Fu Juechuan turned around and went to find medicine.
