Chapter Twenty-Nine: Captain Li: Should I take the lead or not?
"By the way, when we were verifying our identities with the higher-ups, your military region asked our Public Security Bureau to arrange a vehicle for you. Now you're heading to the provincial capital tonight to catch a train and leave!"
Li Yuting suddenly remembered something and asked, "So, do you know where Battalion Commander Fu went?"
Zhang Chenggong's expression changed drastically: "Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Li Yuting: "..." I only said a few words, did I even have a chance to say them?
"Captain Li, how about this? You cover for me for a bit, and once I find Brother Ye, we'll set off immediately, okay?"
Li Yuting: "If you know where it is, I'll have someone drive you there right away. Hurry up!"
"no!"
Zhang Chenggong refused without hesitation. What a joke! Li Yuting could manage if he was the only one who knew about this, but if they went to find someone to help, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.
We still don't know what exactly happened at the military region. His thoughts are the same as Ye Ge's: the sudden transfer order from the military region is definitely suspicious!
He wasn't sure who this transfer order was related to.
"Captain Li, could you please cover for me and Brother Ye? We'll definitely be back before dawn tomorrow!"
Before Captain Li could refuse, he dashed off, leaving only the echoing words: "Remember to keep it a secret!"
Captain Li: "???"
This Deputy Company Commander Zhang thinks too highly of him, doesn't he?
That's an order from the military region! How could a captain from a small county town possibly handle it?
Could it be that he did something wrong, causing Deputy Company Commander Zhang to misunderstand? Captain Li fell into deep thought.
Should they support it or not? Captain Li was unsure until his wife brought him food, and he told her about it.
His wife laughed: "Are you so hesitant because you think those two are extraordinary? Are you worried about offending them?"
Li Yuting nodded: "That Deputy Company Commander Zhang is alright. Although becoming a company commander at this age is considered genius, it's not too outrageous!"
“But the other one…” Li Yuting’s expression turned solemn.
"A 22-year-old battalion commander is truly outstanding!" Ning Hehua, Li Yuting's wife, chimed in with admiration.
She had served in the military, but was later discharged due to injury. She had been a stay-at-home wife and mother ever since. Li Yuting could not know better than her, who had been in the military, just how extraordinary a 22-year-old battalion commander really was.
"Then, wife, do you think we should stand up for this?" Li Yuting frowned, somewhat annoyed.
Ning Hehua didn't rush to answer her husband's question. Instead, she looked at him worriedly and said, "Old Li, you might be in trouble this time!"
Li Yuting immediately tensed up, "What's wrong?"
"Have you ever thought about this? Battalion Commander Fu and the Bureau Chief are of the same rank. Logically, the Bureau Chief should be in charge of arranging this matter. In addition, Battalion Commander Fu is young and has a bright future. On the surface, this seems like a good opportunity to befriend Battalion Commander Fu. Given your Bureau Chief's personality, how could he let this opportunity pass by? So why did this matter fall on your shoulders?!"
Li Yuting, who rose to the position of brigade leader, wasn't stupid; he understood this very thing instantly.
"Someone wants to harm Battalion Commander Fu? The bureau chief is playing it safe and doesn't want to get involved. Neither side wants to offend anyone, so they've passed this hot potato to me?"
Ning Hehua nodded and then shook her head: "I have a good friend in the Southeast Military Region. She once said that most of the leaders there are honest and upright. Battalion Commander Fu looks like a good prospect. No one would dare to openly issue a transfer order to send him back to deal with him. Besides, even if someone did dare to do it, there's no need to rush and send someone back overnight! It's the same if they go back tomorrow!"
Remembering something, Li Yuting said, "It seems they said there was an urgent mission and we had to go back immediately."
Ning Hehua shook her head: "No! The trains from the provincial capital to the Southeast Military Region only run in the afternoon and evening. Departing tonight or tomorrow morning will get you to the provincial capital before the afternoon, so it's the same, unless..."
Ning Hehua suddenly woke up with a start: "Someone doesn't want Battalion Commander Fu to stay in Xinchuan County tonight!"
Li Yuting understood, "So, should I push or not?"
Ning Hehua was also unsure. Tonight's events had to be decided in one direction: either report that Battalion Commander Fu and his companion had left without permission, or withstand the pressure and allow them to stay in Xinchuan County for the night.
"Old Li, keep it up!"
Li Yuting looked at Ning Hehua and saw that she gave him a firm look, so he no longer hesitated and agreed.
...
As Rong Nanxi sat on the oxcart, watching Bafang Village get closer and closer, she felt increasingly uneasy.
For some reason, she remembered Lu Zirou and Shen Yuanzhi, who had appeared in Xinchuan County during the day.
They couldn't possibly have just happened to be visiting Xinchuan County; they must have come specifically for her!
Rong Nanxi suddenly realized what was happening.
Yes, she has a kidney that is a match for Lu Zirou!
Just then, Fu Qingye received a transfer order, requiring him to return to the team immediately!
What a coincidence!
Or is this all just my guess?
Rong Nanxi's expression shifted. Regardless of whether it was just speculation or not, she was now living alone in Bafang Village and needed to be extra careful.
The moonlight shone on Rong Nanxi's face, reflecting her somewhat uneasy expression.
Fu Qingchen, who was standing nearby, could see this clearly and frowned slightly.
Is she uneasy?
Why?
Fu Qingchen pulled a blade of grass from somewhere, put it in his mouth, and pondered.
Even when Bafang Village was within reach, Fu Qingchen still couldn't figure it out.
But he has a mouth, so he can ask questions.
So, when the oxcart stopped in front of the Fu family's house, Fu Qingchen stood in front of Rong Nanxi and asked, "Why are you uneasy?"
Rong Nanxi was taken aback, somewhat surprised that Fu Qingchen would see through it, and even more surprised that he would ask her directly.
She pursed her lips, but Rong Nanxi still decided to tell Fu Qingchen.
Although the two were most likely after her, Fu Qingye had clashed with them before. Lu Zirou was known for her vindictiveness, and it was uncertain whether she would target the Fu family. It was best to be cautious.
"Today, I saw Lu Zirou and Shen Yuanzhi."
"Lu Zirou?"
Fu Qingchen was taken aback at first, then realized that Lu Zirou was referring to Rong Dahua from before.
If it were any other time, it wouldn't have made Rong Nanxi uneasy.
Fu Qingchen's mind raced, and she immediately realized, "Are you worried that they're after your kidney?"
Outsiders may not know, but the Fu family does: Lu Zirou is sick and needs Rong Nanxi's kidney.
He had gone to the provincial capital to have an abortion so that he could have a kidney transplant for Lu Zirou, but his brother caught him and brought him back.
"Wait a minute, weren't you very willing? You were even very obedient when you went to the provincial capital. If my brother hadn't gone to catch you, my nephew would be dead by now!"
Fu Qingchen, holding the grass, spoke as if completely unconcerned.
Rong Nanxi shook her head: "These are my children, I will never abort them, even if your brother gives up on marrying me, I will never abort them!"
"So, if they really do come to Bafang Village, remember to protect your parents and your sister."
"And what about you?" Fu Qingchen asked subconsciously.
"Me?" A ruthless glint flashed in Rong Nanxi's eyes. "If they dare to come, then let them suffer the consequences!"
The herbal powder in her hand was no ordinary powder!
