Seeing that Guan Wanxin had already guessed it, Old Madam He sighed deeply and her shoulders slumped.
Her eyes reddened slightly as she thought of He Yanzhi's situation.
Grandpa He sighed heavily, shook his head, and said in a tired and hoarse voice, "Your eyes really can't hide anything from you... Sigh!"
Hearing them sigh, Guan Wanxin's heart sank. "Did something really happen? What's wrong with him?"
Grandma He wiped her eyes, her voice choked with emotion, "It's said that he was seriously injured and is currently receiving treatment in a secret location, not in the country. As for the specifics... the higher-ups won't say much more."
Old Master He interjected, his tone suppressing anger and worry, "He must be seriously injured! Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept the exact location from me!"
Guan Wanxin remained silent for a moment, processing the news, and finally could only let out a long sigh.
She remembered her granddaughter saying that He Yanzhi had returned safely in his previous life, so he would definitely be fine in this life as well!
After reassuring herself with this thought, she looked at the two of them and said, "I understand. It's good that we know about this. If there's any new information, you can let me know, but please don't let Wenru know. She's still in her postpartum period and we can't talk about it right now."
Grandma He nodded quickly, "Yes, yes! That's what we thought too. We absolutely can't tell her. Wenru just gave birth and is still weak. All three children depend on her. If she finds out that Yanzhi was injured without her knowledge, how can she bear it? She'll definitely get sick from worry!"
Grandpa He said in a deep voice, "We can only keep it from them for now, and wait until we have definite news from Yan Zhi's side and things have stabilized before making a decision."
Guan Wanxin nodded slowly, "That's all we can do. Don't worry, Yanzhi is a tough child with the protection of his ancestors, he'll be fine."
...
The elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. He, stayed in the family compound for half a month. Both of them were in poor health, and the medical care here was not as good as in the capital. Although they were reluctant to leave their three great-grandchildren, they had no choice but to return to the capital first.
They don't know what's going on with He Yanzhi yet, so they can't afford to get into trouble.
At times like these, the greatest help they can give is simply staying put and not causing Guan Wenru any trouble.
...
Three months later, Guan Wenru finally returned to work at the factory.
She hadn't heard from He Yanzhi for several months and had been looking for an opportunity to ask the leader about it.
But before she could go, Gu Siyu found her first.
That day, Guan Wenru had just returned from get off work when Gu Siyu blocked her way, saying, "Guan Wenru, we're both just pitiful people."
"Huh?" Guan Wenru frowned. "If you're having an attack, go find some medicine and don't get in my way."
Gu Siyu, looking utterly dejected, let out a cold laugh, "What are you still being so arrogant about? He Yanzhi's fate is unknown, what gives you the right to be so arrogant?"
"!" Guan Wenru froze, her expression changing completely. "You... what did you say?"
Seeing Guan Wenru's reaction, Gu Siyu sneered, "I said, He Yanzhi's fate is unknown, you..."
Snap!
Guan Wenru raised her hand and slapped her across the face. "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll beat you to death! It's not He Yanzhi's fault that he doesn't like you. He's protecting the country now, and you dare to curse him?"
"Guan Wenru!" Gu Siyu was so angry she was about to hit him. "Do you want to die?"
Just as she was about to make a move, Zhang Zhongwu and the others suddenly appeared not far away, roaring, "Gu Siyu, you better stop right now!"
Since it was the leader's voice after all, Gu Siyu's hand was indeed suspended in mid-air.
Zhang Zhongwu walked over with a stern face. "What are you trying to do now?"
"Commander!" Gu Siyu felt wronged. "I didn't cause any trouble. I just told her about He Yanzhi, and she slapped me for no reason!"
"You!" Not only did Guan Wenru slap her, but Zhang Zhongwu also wanted to give her a piece of his mind. "Who told you to gossip? Who told you this news?"
Gu Siyu shrank her neck.
She had served as a battalion commander in this military region for two years, and she still had quite a few soldiers who respected her.
Of course, it was those soldiers who told her.
He Yanzhi was seriously injured, and his fate is unknown.
Wan Tao has been missing for more than three months. Before He Yanzhi fell into a coma, he found some of Wan Tao's personal belongings. It is likely that he has already... sacrificed himself!
She had no feelings for Wan Tao, but she was still in a daze when she heard this news.
As soon as she saw Guan Wenru, she remembered her comrade's repeated instructions not to tell other military families, especially Guan Wenru.
A comrade said that the commander was afraid Guan Wenru would worry, so he couldn't let her know.
But she just couldn't stand Guan Wenru living such a good life!
She wanted to make Guan Wenru worry day and night!
Despite saying that, she still didn't dare to be defiant when questioned by the leader.
Zhang Zhongwu naturally guessed that Gu Siyu had ill intentions, and he was so angry that his eyes turned red. "Alright, you go home first. I don't care who you got this information from, you shut up! When it's time for everyone to know, I'll tell!"
Gu Siyu lowered her head, not daring to say anything, and quickly left.
Guan Wenru was already panicking, "Chief..."
"Don't worry, Xiao Guan, Yan Zhi is out of danger."
After saying that, seeing that Guan Wenru's brows were still furrowed, he said seriously, "I guarantee with this military uniform that everything I said is true. I received the telegram more than half an hour ago."
He then remembered something, immediately took out the telegram, and handed it to Guan Wenru.
Guan Wenru eagerly took it to look, and it did indeed say: He escaped danger, Wan is missing.
The words "escaped danger" eased Guan Wenru's anxiety a little, but her eyes were still red. "Commander, is he... is he seriously injured?"
Zhang Zhongwu raised his hand and patted Guan Wenru on the shoulder, "I can't lie through my teeth, otherwise it will only make you more worried."
