There were three people sitting in the room. After Liu Zi left, they all stood up.
"Please sit down first!" Li Mu said, then chased after them.
"This..." Political Commissar Xu said hesitantly.
"Old Xu, please sit down! We must trust Li Mu." Captain Zhou sighed.
Hearing footsteps chasing behind her, Liu Zi panicked and ran in a panic.
How could Li Mu know that person?
What is their purpose today?
Why didn't you tell her beforehand?
Liu Zi looked flustered and almost bumped into someone while turning the corner.
"Huh? Miss Liu?" Xu Da reached out to help her up; he was on his way to deliver something to his boss.
"Excuse me!" Liu Zi said coldly.
"What happened?" Xu Da rubbed his big head. Miss Liu's expression was a little scary.
"Let go, get away!"
Liu Zi didn't want to consider the consequences if she angered Li Mu.
Her eyes were filled with anger. How dare he be so self-righteous?
Who does he think he is?
Xu Da was startled. Liu Zi's expression was somewhat ferocious, and he instinctively wanted to back away.
Seeing his boss chasing after them from afar, he raised his hand again, having lowered it, and forced himself to speak: "The boss will be here soon. Let's clear up any misunderstandings."
Before Liu Zi could speak again, Li Mu had already caught up. He grabbed Liu Zi's wrist and, under the watchful eyes of Xu Da and the waiter, led her into an empty private room and closed the door.
Xu Da touched his nose, resignedly instructing the waiter to tell the front desk not to assign guests to this private room yet.
"Let go of me!" Liu Zi struggled, but the man was very strong, and she could only passively follow him forward.
"I'll let you go, do you hear me!"
"If you keep doing this, I'm calling the police."
Liu Zi was pinned against the wall, with Li Mu's hands blocking her way.
"Can you please listen to me?"
"No!" Liu Zi glared angrily.
"I apologize. I was wrong to do this today." Seeing Liu Zi's intense reaction, Li Mu realized that there must be something else going on.
"I don't need it, I just want to leave."
"Does General Manager Li also want to restrict my personal freedom like that Company Commander Qi?" Liu Zi retorted sarcastically.
"He attacked you?" Li Mu's expression changed.
Liu Zi was furious. "If you want to watch it, then watch it!"
She rolled up her sleeves, displaying both wrists to Li Mu.
What is particularly striking are the bruises on his wrists, one of which is a bruise with red marks.
Li Mu's hand trembled; he knew that the red mark was one he had just added.
"Do I look like I've just been kidnapped?" Liu Zi sneered.
"If Mr. Li thinks it's not enough, we can add two more."
"I didn't, I didn't know, I'm sorry." Li Mu subconsciously touched the reddened skin.
Liu Zi froze and pulled her arm back.
Li Mu also withdrew his hand, secretly rubbing his fingers against the seam of his pants.
"The battalion commander and political commissar came to apologize to you," Li Mu explained in a low voice.
"No need, I've vented my anger and don't want to see them again." Liu Zi stubbornly refused to look at him.
"Sigh!" Li Mu sighed.
"Can we sit down and talk?" Li Mu glanced at the sofa next to him.
Liu Zi also felt that the two of them were a bit too close at the moment, so she nodded and sat down in the place furthest away from Li Mu.
"Two months ago, during a hostage rescue operation, Qi Qiang's best partner was shot and killed by a bandit disguised as a hostage."
After Li Mu finished speaking, the two fell silent.
"I'm sorry, but that's no reason for him to take his anger out on me," Liu Zi said calmly.
"When the political commissar heard your suggestion that day, he immediately invited a psychiatrist from the military region. After examination, the doctor diagnosed Qi Qiang with post-traumatic stress disorder."
Liu Zi thought to herself, "Just as I expected."
These special operations soldiers fighting on the front lines are also flesh-and-blood human beings; they also experience sadness and pain. The military region and special forces have a responsibility to pay attention to their condition and help them overcome their difficulties.
Liu Zi didn't say anything; there was nothing she could do about it.
"General Wang Wei was very angry and personally demanded that the two commanding officers of the brigade come and apologize to you. They didn't dare to come directly to your door, so they could only come to me."
"I'm sorry I called you here without telling you. Don't be angry," Li Mu said humbly, knowing he was in the wrong.
Seeing Li Mu's sincere attitude, Liu Zi felt much more at ease.
The main problem is that there are too many entanglements between the two now, and if their relationship breaks down, Liu Zi will face a lot more trouble.
Having come this far, Liu Zi felt compelled to speak: "There's actually a crucial reason why I'm withdrawing so forcefully. I'm currently writing a military-themed novel, and I plan to adapt it into a television series. I definitely need the military region's support and assistance in that regard."
"Through this incident, I've realized that the Beijing Military Region treats people differently based on their status. Even though this was a cooperative effort, they still look down on someone like me who has no background or connections."
"I figured this out on the way back, which is why I resolutely severed ties with the Beijing Military Region."
Li Mu suddenly realized.
"Actually, the military region..." Li Mu hesitated, still wanting to make amends for his old unit.
"I'm not a child. I've seen too much backstabbing and intrigue in the entertainment industry. The military region didn't take my case seriously from the beginning, even though it was agreed upon with General Wang Wei. They postponed the discussion three times, and it was only after my studio kept pushing them that a time was set for me to go to the military base."
"I already had a plan in mind, which is why I drove there myself. I didn't expect the military region to only send a newly graduated officer who didn't know anything to lead the way. When I expressed my dissatisfaction at being treated unfairly, that Officer Zhu was even more flustered than I was." Liu Zi became more and more angry as she spoke.
Li Mu listened with a frown. This time, the Beijing Military Region was not innocent in being humiliated. They were trying to flatter the powerful and belittle the weak, but they did not expect to run into a tough opponent.
"I'm not going to see him. Please pass on the message: I have no problem with the special forces." Liu Zi still felt that this meal was unnecessary.
"I've already booked my flight to Anshi, and I'll be leaving in a couple of days," Liu Zi explained her itinerary.
"If you encounter any problems on your end, it's best to let me know in advance."
"Anshi?" Li Mu had a vague guess in his mind.
The news that a large number of personnel from the Northwest Military Region Military Band have come to Beijing to train with the band has already spread throughout the city.
"Yes! The special forces on the other side have officially invited me to come and do some research." Liu Zi smiled easily.
Li Mu smiled wryly; this girl really knew how to hit a nerve.
