When they heard the sound, they turned around and saw a young officer in military uniform striding towards them.
When Shao Jingque saw the person coming, his eyes lit up, but then he became very nervous and for a moment he was afraid to speak to him.
The person who made her uneasy was Yao Wenbin, whom she had not seen for a while!
Yao Wenbin didn't expect that when he came to look for someone, he would run into such a big drama. Of course, he couldn't just watch these people bully the family of his comrade.
Yao Wenbin held the photo with a serious face and said:
"I can testify that the officer in the photo is my comrade Lu Zhan, and this Comrade Xiao Shao is Lu Zhan's fiancée. Not only do I know this, but even our military district's Political Commissar Liu knows about it."
"If the flood in Henan Province hadn't happened so suddenly, they would have already submitted their marriage registration. If you still find my words unreliable, you can go and ask Political Commissar Liu for confirmation."
Once he said this, who would not believe it?
Seeing that the situation was getting bigger and bigger, even people from the military district were involved, Qi Mingyuan stepped in to smooth things over:
"It's just a misunderstanding, a mere verbal dispute between children. A clear explanation will suffice. There's no need to bother the Political Commissar with such a large force."
No matter how big the Qi family's business is, they dare not offend people in the military and political circles. If the other party just makes a move, the Qi family's industry will probably fall into turmoil.
"Misunderstand?"
Yao Wenbin glanced at Qu Jingyun and Qi Guangyao with a scrutinizing gaze, and said in a stern tone:
"Someone is blatantly slandering and framing our military personnel for their conduct, deliberately stirring up conflict among the people. I will thoroughly investigate this matter and find out who is causing this sabotage!"
Qu Jingyun was terrified. She didn't expect that a soldier would actually show up to testify for Shao Jingque. She was panicked and completely confused - when did Shao Jingque find a partner with the battalion commander?
After Yao Wenbin warned the others, he turned his gaze to Shao Jingque, who had been silent since he appeared, and frowned unconsciously:
"Xiao Shao, come out for a moment. I have something to tell you."
Shao Jingque stared at Yao Wenbin's expression without blinking, and noticed that he frowned, and his heart sank suddenly.
Yue Feiying noticed that she looked unwell and quickly reached out to hold her hand. She was surprised to find that Shao Jingque's hand was terribly cold, with cold sweat on her palms.
"Sparrow..."
Shao Jingque came back to his senses and shook her hand:
"I'm fine. Take care of your own business first. I'll have a word with Brother Yao and come back to you later."
She nodded to Yao Wenbin, her face completely drained of color.
"Come on, Brother Yao, let's go out and talk."
Shao Jingque followed Yao Wenbin out of Fengxi Hall. Seeing Yao Wenbin frowning and about to speak, she suddenly became afraid and interrupted him:
"Wait, Brother Yao, let's find a place to sit and talk."
It was difficult for her to describe how complicated her feelings were when she saw Yao Wenbin - she was eager to get news about Lu Zhan from him, but she was also cowardly avoiding him for fear of getting bad news.
Now that Yao Wenbin was really standing in front of her, she didn't dare to listen, especially when she saw him frowning seriously. Shao Jingque felt that she had never been so nervous in her life.
Before Yao Wenbin could say anything, she already felt her legs go weak.
In fact, Yao Wenbin had been thinking about how to phrase it all the way to make Shao Jingque more accepting of the news. After all, she and Lu Zhan hadn't really gotten married yet. What if she couldn't accept it...
"I just went to the guesthouse to look for you. The waiter told me that you were attending a friend's wedding at Xiefang Garden, so I came here."
Shao Jingque's heart was in his throat, and when he opened his mouth he could only hear his own voice trembling:
"...Is there any news of a land battle?"
Yao Wenbin nodded:
"The rescue team found them on a mountaintop. Don't worry, Lu Zhan is still alive."
The moment she heard that Lu Zhan was still alive, tears instantly burst out of Shao Jingque's eyes, and she was shaking and crying uncontrollably.
Ever since Lu Zhan set out to help with disaster relief, she has been worried about his safety every day, especially when the news of the reservoir bursting in Henan Province appeared in the newspapers, she became even more anxious.
I can still divert some of my attention by working during the day, but at night I am so worried that I can't sleep all night.
Unable to get any information from the military district, she carefully studied every report in the newspaper word by word, trying to find any clues about Lu Zhan's unit.
She even went to the train station, hoping to buy a ticket to Henan Province to find him, but when the ticket seller asked her where in Henan Province she was going, her mind went blank.
She had no idea where Lu Zhan was. She only knew that he was rescuing people trapped in the rainstorm downstream of Banqiao Reservoir. Where should she find him?
The feeling of powerlessness devastated her, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted, not letting herself fall into despair.
Because she firmly believed that Lu Zhan would come back. Since he would come back, why should she cry?
After enduring tremendous psychological pressure for so many days, Shao Jingque finally heard the news today that Lu Zhan was still alive. He could no longer hold back the tears he had been holding back these days, and vented them along with the emotions that had been accumulating in his chest for a long time.
Yao Wenbin was deeply moved. As a soldier, he certainly knew how difficult it was to be a military family member. In addition to having to support a family alone, people in the rear often had to bear psychological pressure that ordinary people could hardly imagine.
So even if others laugh at him for being "henpecked", he is willing to go along with his wife and is reluctant to make her angry.
Shao Jingque cried heartily until she had poured out all the worries and anxieties of the past few days, and then she slowly stopped.
Thinking of making Yao Wenbin wait and watch her cry for so long, she felt a little embarrassed and took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from her face. When she looked up, she saw Yao Wenbin looking at her with concern, but his lips were pursed unnaturally, as if there was something he had not yet said.
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, remembering what Yao Wenbin had said last time: if there was news that needed to be notified to the family, the army would send someone to notify them...
If Lu Zhan was fine and would come back sooner or later, Yao Wenbin would definitely not make this trip.
Shao Jingque's heart suddenly tightened, and he blurted out:
"Brother Yao, is Lu Zhan injured?"
Yao Wenbin didn't expect that before he could even open his mouth, Shao Jingque had guessed the purpose of his visit:
"Xiao Shao, don't be too nervous. Lu Zhan is not in danger of death at the moment, it's just..."
"Just what?"
A hundred terrible possibilities flashed through Shao Jingque's mind. She wished she could appear beside Lu Zhan immediately, rather than stay here and worry.
