Chen Yu looked at her concerned expression, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled to comfort her: "It's okay, you heard it, they were the first to hit me. I will be fine."
Shen Rongrong did hear the noise, but she was still worried.
"Yes, I heard it, but others didn't hear it. What if they don't believe it?"
Chen Yu gently held her hand and said, "Don't worry. I'm not afraid of my own shadow. Besides, Sister Ma saw it, didn't she?"
No one knew better than Shen Rongrong about the gossip in this book and how bad the marginal villains were. She was nervous all the way.
Chen Yu carried her into the car, put her safely in the back seat, and drove her back.
Along the way, Shen Rongrong kept looking out the window, seeing the scenery on the road and the passing military area.
She was afraid of seeing people making trouble at the gate of the military area, and what she feared came true.
As soon as we arrived at the military area, we saw a group of people standing in front of the majestic and solemn gate of the military area.
The military emblem above the military district's gate sparkled brightly under the sunlight, exuding an aura of sacredness and inviolability, while in the sentry boxes on both sides of the gate, tall guards stood like sculptures.
The gang of thugs gathered at the door and shouted loudly at the guards.
The leading thug was even more arrogant and domineering. While shouting, he exaggeratedly lifted up his clothes to reveal the bruises on his ribs and body from being kicked.
"That Chen Yu relied on his military background to bully the common people. Look at how badly he beat us...!"
The other thugs followed suit, as if they had suffered a great injustice.
There were also some people who were either invited by them or just passing by, talking in a flurry:
"That's right, how can soldiers beat people at will? There must be an explanation."
"We can't let them bully us ordinary people like this."
The guards remained calm and used persuasion mode to sternly drive people away: "Please keep quiet and don't make trouble here. The military region has its own regulations, and you can't make noise at will."
However, the group did not listen to the advice and became even more violent. Some of them even started to push the guards and tried to force their way in to demand an explanation.
The guards quickly formed a human wall and resolutely blocked their way.
"This is a military stronghold. You are not allowed to do whatever you want. If you continue to make trouble like this, we will take coercive measures!"
Shen Rongrong looked at this scene and knew that they would not stop until they caused some trouble, so her face became very nervous.
Chen Yu was also looking out the window. As he was looking, he suddenly stretched out his arm and moved closer to Shen Rongrong who was sitting in the back row.
“It’s a bit outrageous, isn’t it?”
"What?" Shen Rongrong turned back with a tense expression: "What's so outrageous?"
Chen Yu's eyes also showed some gossip: "It's not so easy to enter the military zone in reality."
“Now…” In reality???
Shen Rongrong seemed to be choked and couldn't say anything in return.
Chen Yu watched her expression carefully, as if he had guessed something from her emotions.
"Do you have a military reserve area? Do you know where it is?"
"I don't have that."
Shen Rongrong is a cultivator, and there is no military reserve. If you insist on talking about military, then those immortal sect bosses who fight all day long can be considered military reserves? But they are all cultivators, and they fight with themselves, without weapons reserves.
Seeing that she couldn't answer, Chen Yu nodded: "That's right, in the animal world, where does the military reserve area come from?"
"Uh." What animal world! Shen Rongrong glared at him, and after a while she carefully asked back: "Then, tell me, what is your military region like?"
"Isolated from the world." Chen Yu only replied with these four words, then stepped on the accelerator and said, "I'll take you home first. Someone might come to see me later. I'll be away for a while. You just wait at home and don't go anywhere."
Shen Rongrong was sent home.
On the other side, as the noise from that group of people became louder and louder, many people gathered at the gate of the military area. The guards kept stopping them, while others quickly went to inform the leaders.
Captain Wang was the first to learn about this.
He had already heard that he was going to be selected for promotion. After pacing back and forth in the office for a while, he felt that if he didn't handle it properly, it might have a significant impact on him.
So he called Captain Cao again and told him, "I heard that there was a commotion at the door. They said they had a conflict with Chen Yu. Go and get someone to calm them down, and then call Chen Yu over. I want to understand the situation clearly."
Captain Cao straightened up, saluted, and responded, "Yes, Commander! I'll do it right away."
Captain Cao soon arrived at where Chen Yu and Shen Rongrong lived.
Chen Yu had just arrived home. When he saw Captain Cao coming through the window, he had some guesses in his mind and quickly packed up the food he had bought.
After a while, Captain Cao came up and knocked on the door, and informed Chen Yu in a businesslike manner that Commander Wang wanted him to come over.
"Captain Cao." Shen Rongrong subconsciously grabbed the corner of Chen Yu's clothes and asked a few questions with extreme concern: "What did Captain Wang say? Did he say he would punish him or something?"
Captain Cao shook his head: "I'm not sure. I just know that this matter has a significant impact and must be dealt with as soon as possible without any delay."
"Don't worry." Chen Yu patted Shen Rongrong's hand, which was tightly grasped by his, and comforted her softly, "I'll be back soon."
"How fast is 'very fast'?" Shen Rongrong was unsure, afraid that he would be in trouble again because of this incident.
"Yeah." Chen Yu thought for a moment, pointed to the live fish he had bought for dinner, and promised with a smile: "I'll be back before the fish dies."
"Pfft, pfft, pfft..." Shen Rongrong thought he was calling her 'Chen Yu' and said something like "fish will die", so she patted him twice: "Fish won't die, and neither will you."
"Well, I wouldn't die for something like this. It's a punishment, but basically I can't."
Chen Yu nodded and touched Shen Rongrong's head, signaling her to be obedient. She quickly put on her military uniform and left with Captain Cao.
Shen Rongrong looked at their backs as they left together from the window, and paced back and forth in the room restlessly.
For the first time in his life, he felt bored with this book... perhaps because of Chen Yu's words, "It won't be like this in reality."
That feeling of boredom was like a quietly sprouting seed, growing slowly in my heart, and I began to blame myself.
Sister Ma has long said that losing talent is as troublesome as losing money.
If she hadn't been buying stones at the market before, she would have thought that she would attract some people who would ask her for help to look at the jade and that she would have a feast at the same time. Who would have thought that she would run into such a difficult guy, causing Chen Yu to get involved in such trouble.
She knew very well that this book was full of troubles, and that two out of three steps she took would be trivial matters...she should have been more careful.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a hurried knock on the door.
