Chapter 17 Chapter 17

Fang Chiye raised his eyebrows.

"I know who you're looking for." Qin Shan said with an expression that said I know everything: "The comrade who was chewing sugar cane in the security office last time was the one in the photo, right? I said the letter was too tactful. You could have just directly invited him to attend the military parade."

Fang Chiye said honestly: "I thought she would come."

Qin Shan said sarcastically, "People say today's event is a blind date. Maybe she doesn't want to go on a blind date?"

Fang Chiye was stunned: "Blind date? How could it be a blind date?"

The purpose of holding the military gala is to better integrate the troops with the local people. This place is remote and rarely sees soldiers, so it is even more necessary to hold a gala so that the locals and the soldiers can understand and know each other, so that the troops can integrate into the local area as soon as possible and master the local customs and folkways. In other words, it is for the convenience of doing things in the future.

He thought Su Rui was a lively person and would come even without being invited.

But he didn't see Su Rui the whole night.

Could it be that Qin Shan was right, and Comrade Su Rui didn't come because she thought she already had a partner because of 'Ye Chifang'?

Fang Chiye smacked his lips and found the little girl unexpectedly well-behaved.

During the investigation, Fang Chiye learned about Su Rui's family situation. He thought that she could even treat the ugly portrait he casually drew as an object, which was really a poor little thing that lacked care.

She was also very thin and small, completely different from the female soldiers he came into contact with on a daily basis.

Fang Chiye couldn't bear it anymore.

Maybe I really misunderstood her.

I'll find a chance to explain the matter to her next time.

I don’t know if the little girl can accept it.

Fang Chiye was thinking and considering when a voice came from outside the door: "Report to the chief, the security office is calling."

Fang Chiye opened the door: "What's the matter?"

"Last time, that female comrade named Su brought two people here, saying that she had caught a human trafficker!"

Su Rui?

The square pond is wild and silent.

He thought she was well-behaved one moment, but she turned into a queen the next... Could it be that she was the one who was arrested with the sugarcane he gave her?

He glanced over and noticed that the little warrior looked nervous, so he asked, "Is there anything special going on?"

The young soldier nodded and said, "Captain, we found a coded letter on him. Inside the letter was a mountain map. He must not be an ordinary criminal."

"Tell them I'll be there right away." Fang Chiye lowered his voice, stood up and said, "Take him to the confinement room for interrogation. No one is allowed to contact him without my consent."

The young soldier choked and said, "I can't tell now."

Fang Chiye: “Why?”

The young soldier said: "Comrade Su...Comrade Su beat them half to death, and they haven't recovered yet."

"......" Fang Chiye: "I'm going there now."

***

Seven miles south of Qingfeng Middle School, at the foot of Zhuye Mountain.

Establish a temporary security room for the troops.

Su Rui squatted outside the security room, wrapping the hemp rope around her arms. Her little face was extremely cold.

Silly Sier stood beside her, leaning on a sugar cane, staring at it and drooling. Behind her, Wanzi stood on a chair and looked into the security room.

Guo Qingwang stamped his feet in anger: "The army chief is holding a military parade, and you still make such a fuss, you, you——"

Su Rui looked up at him and said righteously, "These two people followed Wan Zi secretly and wanted to catch her. What else could they be but human traffickers? Are they really going to let the human traffickers go just because you said so?"

Guo Qingwang said angrily: "What if you catch the wrong person? Can you afford the responsibility?"

Su Rui said fiercely: "I would rather catch ten human traffickers by mistake than let one go. I tell you, the responsibility is mine. If you still want to let anyone go, I will tie you up too!"

Guo Qingwang was so angry that his blood pressure soared. He closed his eyes and leaned against the wall outside the security room.

Two hours ago, he was about to take Guo Jiarong to a military parade to introduce him to his distant cousin. Halfway there, he saw a few of them shouting and yelling, and if they hadn't been discovered early, the two people who were caught would have died.

Just beat him up as he wants, there's no need to provoke trouble.

Su Rui refused to do so and insisted on sending the man to the military security office for severe punishment.

She was terribly timid and fearless, but Guo Qingwang was afraid. The whole family was here, what if they were attacked and retaliated?

He wanted to let her go several times, but Su Rui disagreed.

Unfortunately, the human trafficker was captured from Xiaoba Village. All the women in the village listened to Su Rui and beat and kicked him. Blood was spurting on the ground and teeth were flying in the sky.

He shouted until his voice was hoarse and asked for the release of the people, but no one listened to him. Some female comrades even took advantage of the chaos and kicked him a few times.

Guo Jiarong, who came with them, tried to get close to the soldier on duty for a long time, but he didn't get any information. He tried to please Su Rui, so he went over and said, "It's okay, don't be afraid."

Su Rui is not afraid of anything, and evil cannot prevail over good.

She wrapped the hemp rope around Wan Zi's neck and said, "Whether you are afraid or not is none of your business. If I hurt the wrong person, I will go to jail and not drag anyone down."

"I beat someone up too." Wan Zi shouted, "I'll go with you."

Su Rui rubbed her head and said, "You should do your homework at home."

Maru was depressed.

Guo Jiarong looked around and came over mysteriously and said, "It's okay even if you hit the wrong person. Last time I told you that my distant cousin is the top leader in the army. What a coincidence! He is in this army! I will say a few good words for you later, and he will definitely not embarrass you."

Su Rui snorted coldly. Who else in this army can dare to call himself the boss except the male protagonist Fang Chiye?

How could a male supporting actor as small as a sesame seed know Fang Chiye? Oh, Guo Jiarong is not even good at bragging.

Su Rui's nonchalant attitude made Guo Jiarong angry. He walked a few steps towards the intersection, looking forward to the arrival of his distant cousin.

After a while, the sound of cars was finally heard at the end of the road.

The jeep turned and came into everyone's sight.

Guo Jiarong jumped up and waved: "Here, here."

Su Rui straightened her back and looked towards the car. Oh my goodness, the leading actor Fang Chiye is here in person!

Is it too late to leave now?

Guo Qingwang was dying just now, but he suddenly became energetic. He walked to Fang Chiye who had just got off the car with a smile on his face, waved to Guo Jiarong, and let Guo Jiarong pass.

Guo Jiarong and Su Rui raised their chins, ran over swiftly, and stood in front of Fang Chiye like skinny sticks.

Although the contrast was terrible, Su Rui was still dumbfounded.

Is their family really related to the male lead? Guo Jiarong was not exaggerating!

Fang Chiye looked at the two grandfathers expressionlessly, knowing of course that Guo Qingwang wanted to bring his son to get close to them.

When Guo Qingwang saw Guo Jiarong running over, he quickly said, "I didn't see my little cousin last time, but now that I've seen him, why don't you call for help?"

Guo Jiarong hurriedly called out, "Hello, little cousin. I'm sorry for the trouble."

Fang Chiye was only two years older than Guo Jiarong, and he felt very comfortable being treated as an elder. He nodded slightly as a greeting.

He saw Su Rui not far away and was about to ask her about the arrest. Unexpectedly, Guo Jiarong turned around and shouted, "Xiao Rui, come here."

Su Rui's heart skipped a beat and she stood still.

Guo Jiarong winked at her again and waved his hand to let her pass. Su Rui felt Fang Chiye's gaze also passing by.

Guo Jiarong seemed not to feel Fang Chiye's alienation, and proudly shouted: "Come here, let me introduce you, this is my little cousin."

Fang Chiye: “…” It doesn’t feel good.

Su Rui walked over hesitantly and said without much interest, "Oh." She had just been beaten by Fang Chiye a few days ago, and now she really didn't want to face him.

Guo Jiarong was not satisfied with her attitude. He smiled flatteringly at Fang Chiye and whispered to Su Rui, "Call someone. Where are your manners?"

Su Rui looked up in surprise: "I want to scream too?"

Fang Chiye's eyelids jumped and he said, "No need."

Guo Qingwang scolded her from the side, "She has no manners at all. Let her call for help! How can we manage our family if she doesn't know how to call her elders?"

Su Rui seemed to see the corner of Fang Chiye's lips twitching, but it must be an illusion.

She stood at attention and called out in a low voice, "Uncle."

Fang Chiye was silent for a few seconds, then he said "hmm".

Su Rui curled her lips secretly.

"Little cousin?" Qin Shan was stunned when he got off the jeep. What was going on?

Fang Chiye didn't want to pay attention to him and wanted to deal with these two people as soon as possible.

Guo Jiarong shamelessly continued to try to get close to him, and said cheerfully, "That's right, call him little cousin, and we will both honor him together in the future."

Old man?

Su Rui burst out laughing, then quickly lowered her head and pursed her lips to hold it back.

Fang Chiye was stunned: "You're welcome." He changed the subject and asked directly: "What is your relationship?"

This statement was very direct. It would have been impossible to be less direct. Fang Chi was too ambitious.

Guo Jiarong said: "Oh, I forgot to introduce her. Her name is Su Rui and she is my girlfriend."

A crack seemed to appear on Fang Chiye's calm face: "Target?"

Qin Shan was so confused. He looked at Su Rui and realized that one should not judge a person by his appearance. Just now they thought she was staying at home and being a good girl. Not only did she catch an enemy spy, but now she was cheating on him?

Su Rui saw that they had misunderstood each other, and she waved her hands wildly and said, "No, he and I are innocent. I have a partner."

Qin Shan swallowed his breath again. This is right.

Fang Chiye glanced at Su Rui and said, "That's good?"

Although Su Rui didn't understand what Fang Chiye meant by asking this question, since they were elders, everything made sense. In order to prevent the elders from introducing her to someone, she said dishonestly, "Yes, I get along well with my partner, you see."

She tugged at her fake collar, pretending it was a gift from her "boyfriend," and said with a fake smile, "Thank you, little cousin, for your concern. Although Ye Chifang and I are from different places, we are in perfect harmony, have a deep affection for each other, and are so in love that even the gods can't separate us."

Qin Shan couldn't help laughing and said, "A turtle eating a weight?"

Su Rui said with great righteousness and unyielding determination: "I am determined."

Qin Shan shrugged his shoulders with joy and said quickly, "That's great. Right, Lao Fang?"

...Is it really that good?

Fang Chiye appeared calm on the surface, but he was in turmoil on the inside. He looked at Su Rui's honest face and even doubted himself.

Qin Shan held his stomach and tried to hold back his laughter. He looked at Su Rui and then at Fang Chiye. This lively scene was extremely interesting.

Guo Jiarong couldn't stand it anymore. He interrupted Su Rui and said, "You've never even met her and you're already calling her your partner. If you keep talking, be careful that your partner will make you a widow."

Before Su Rui could speak, Fang Chiye scolded her, "How can you talk like that?"

Guo Jiarong: “Ah?”

No, cousin, why are you so excited?
