Chapter 48 Self-Deception



It’s over.

He knew, Liu Baogen knew.

Linglong's mind was full of this thought.

However, before she turned around, she heard Tong Dazhu's angry roar from outside the yard again.

"Liu Baogen, I think you are so bold as to dare to come to my house and act wild!"

When Aunt Tong in the room heard the noise, she ran out and saw her son holding Liu Baogen's collar.

"Brother, brother, it's okay, I'm fine." Linglong was afraid that Tong Dazhu would attack Liu Baogen.

She didn't care whether Liu Baogen got beaten or not, but she was afraid that Tong Dazhu would suffer some bad consequences because of the violence.

"Dazhu, what are you doing? Let go." Aunt Tong also shouted.

Only then did Tong Dazhu push Liu Baogen away.

"Battalion Commander, I have no other reason to come here this time. I just want to ask Linglong, are you Liu Linglong?" Liu Baogen looked at Linglong again with a burning gaze.

It’s still this time.

Linglong let out a breath, looked at Liu Baogen coldly and said, "So what if I am, and so what if I am not? You have a lover in the city, do you care about your child bride in the countryside?"

She clearly remembered that when she saw Liu Baogen on the platform, she was nervous and scared. How ridiculous it was that he didn't even recognize her and was about to go look for Xu Yingying.

So, does it matter whether she is his child bride or not?

Liu Baogen felt a little embarrassed by Linglong's sarcasm and started to argue subconsciously.

"That's our family matter. I've said it before, there are a lot of misunderstandings." He answered like this, but in his heart he was actually inclined to think that Linglong was wrong. When Linglong questioned him, she thought he was defending the child bride.

I came here just to make sure that I could feel at ease.

Linglong sneered. "Then guess whether I am or not?"

When she said this, Liu Baogen actually felt relieved.

It seems that it was just a coincidence. His child bride might have happened to meet such an outstanding person as Miss Linglong, so she deliberately changed her surname to Zhong when she moved her household registration. That would be really shameless.

That's right, even if they have the same name and surname, the child bride in their family is not a relative of the Tong family. She is alone and helpless. If she hadn't been taken in by their family, she would have been wandering around and no one knows what would have happened to her.

Deep down, he naturally didn't want these two people to be the same person, so he found a reasonable explanation for himself.

Linglong was still waiting for Liu Baogen to give an answer, but she admitted it without hesitation, and then mocked him loudly, venting her pent-up anger.

As long as the Liu family didn't do anything to seek revenge for what they had done to her in this lifetime, she couldn't do anything to seek revenge, but she could at least vent her anger. After all, the Liu family had wronged her in the matter of marriage.

However, to her surprise, Liu Baogen showed a guilty look on his face after he finished thinking about it.

"I'm sorry, I've lost my mind and actually asked you such a question, Captain. I'm sorry for offending you. I'm leaving now."

Although he despised Tong Dazhu in his heart, on the surface, Tong Dazhu was his superior after all, so he was able to let it go.

In fact, before Liu Baogen was punished, he was not only popular in the army, but also popular with the opposite sex.

Liu Baogen was not bad looking, with a handsome appearance, a sweet mouth and good conversation. Whether it was the female nurses in the clinic, some female staff members, or even some girls in the family compound, they all had a good impression of him.

When the news of him having a girlfriend came out, many lesbians expressed deep regret.

Even though he was punished this time, it was reported that he still had an unmarried wife in the countryside, and some people expressed their support and sympathy, believing that he must have some hidden secrets.

Linglong, Tong Dazhu and Aunt Tong were all stunned by Liu Baogen's monologue.

However, before they could say anything, Liu Baogen turned around and left in a leisurely manner.

He was also far away from the truth. He was obviously only half a step away.

"Linglong, what's he doing?" Tong Dazhu was stunned.

"Forget it, brother, auntie, come inside. He can do whatever he wants as long as he doesn't cause us any trouble."

"He dares!" Tong Dazhu raised his eyebrows and said this.

"You're the only one with a loud voice. Come in quickly." Aunt Tong glared at her son.

The two of them entered the house first. Linglong looked at Liu Baogen's back as he walked away, shook her head and smiled.

She thought Liu Baogen had confirmed her identity from somewhere, but it turned out he was just suspicious.

Fortunately, she didn't respond directly and stabbed him a few times first.

Since he had already justified his own explanation, she was too lazy to reveal her identity to him.

It would be better if I could find out later.

It would be best if you never knew.

Thinking he had confirmed the truth, Liu Baogen walked briskly towards the cafeteria.

"I'm so stupid. How could Miss Linglong be that damn girl Hongdou?" That girl was also a jerk. Why did she change her last name to the same as Miss Linglong? She almost made him laugh.

But where did Hongdou die?

By the way, now that he knew she had changed her last name, he would go and check with the comrade in charge of household registration again. This time he would definitely be able to find the whereabouts of that dead girl.

He was also anxious. Why did he come to Miss Linglong first? He should have gone there directly to ask for confirmation.

On the way to the cafeteria, Liu Baogen even started thinking about his own diet.

If he doesn't find a way to move forward, he should first be transferred to another regiment under the division headquarters. Otherwise, he will not only have Tong Dazhui above him, but also Zheng Tiansen, the regiment commander who dislikes him. His future will be worrying.

If these two people don't leave, he feels that he will not be able to make a breakthrough for a long time.

If I go to another regiment, they will have less control over me. After all, I am not a soldier directly under their command. As long as I don't commit a crime directly against them, they can't do anything to me.

The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea.

As for checking the household registration, after thinking about his recent schedule, he decided to wait until the New Year's Day activities were over. Everyone should be very busy celebrating New Year's Day at this time, so he decided not to cause trouble for the time being.

It seemed that the previous impulse had consumed his urgency. Convinced that the child bride was around the troops, he was no longer anxious.

Instead of finding that dead girl to settle the score and seek revenge, he felt it was more important to secure his own future first.

Having made a decision in his mind, he went to the cafeteria to finish his meal in a hurry. While he still had some free time, he quickly went to find another regimental commander in the division headquarters who did not get along well with Zheng Tiansen to show his courtesy.

Later, when Liu Baogen finally learned the truth, he regretted countless times that he missed the last chance to save Linglong by knowing her identity.

At this time, Linglong was still truly single, and he was completely together with Xu Yingying.

Tong Dazhu went into the house to eat and asked about Linglong and the others' trip to the city.

Aunt Tong is already preparing Linglong's piece of cloth.

Linglong had no problem sewing clothes, but after learning about the old lady's skills, she immediately gave up the job of making clothes.

However, she had more fashionable and beautiful tailoring design ideas, and she shared them with Aunt Tong, and they had a very lively discussion.

Tong Dazhu was eating his meal and watching the mother and daughter discussing passionately, he felt dizzy.

Isn't it just making a piece of clothing? Why does it sound so complicated with so many twists and turns?

That night, many people who were going to attend the blind date tea party tomorrow were busy looking for clothes and looking in the mirror.
