force.
Gu Nanzhi stood in front of Lu Huai'an's office door, knocking with her fist clenched.
“Brother Huai’an, it’s me, Nan Zhi.”
"I have something urgent to tell you, please open the door."
“Brother Huai’an, if you’re worried that your wife will misunderstand, I can come to your door to explain. This matter really can’t be delayed. Please open the door and let me in, okay?”
The door remained closed, which prompted Qian Tong from the next office to come out and check.
Qian Tong glanced at Gu Nanzhi from head to toe: "You're looking for Deputy Regiment Commander Lu?"
Gu Nanzhi glanced at the identity plaque in front of the door and said, "Yes, Commander Qian."
Qian Tong was a deputy regimental commander, just like Lu Huai'an, but he was a decade older than Lu Huai'an.
Deputy Regiment Commander Qian and Regiment Commander Qian – a difference of just one character, yet the feeling is worlds apart.
Qian Tong narrowed his eyes: "Who are you to Deputy Regiment Commander Lu?"
“I grew up with Brother Huai’an since I was a child. I had an urgent matter to discuss with him today, but it seems that my sister-in-law has some misunderstanding about me. Brother Huai’an dotes on his sister-in-law and doesn’t want to…” Gu Nanzhi said, her voice falling.
Childhood sweethearts.
This guy is quite the ladies' man.
Having been through thick and thin in the military, Qian Tong naturally saw through Gu Nanzhi's ulterior motives, but he didn't meddle.
"At this time, Deputy Regiment Commander Lu is leading a training session. Go to the training ground and look for him."
"Thank you, Commander Qian."
As soon as Gu Nanzhi arrived at the training ground, Lu Huai'an's stern reprimand could be heard from afar.
"Yang Bing, what's wrong with you? Taking a day off, have you really relaxed your bones?"
Yang Bing was also puzzled. He had been checked at the hospital yesterday and found nothing wrong. He had even taken medicine and didn't feel any other abnormalities. But why was his training performance so much worse than the day before yesterday?
"Captain, I've been slacking off. I'll practice harder."
Lu Huai'an was fairly satisfied with his attitude, said a few more words to Yang Bing, and then let him go.
Beside her, Gu Nanzhi watched this scene with eyes full of fascination.
This is how she looks when she admires a man.
Lu Huai'an spoke up: "Continue."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Nanzhi's voice rang out.
Huai'an.
Instantly, several pairs of eyes swept over.
Gu Nanzhi ran up to him and tucked a stray hair behind her ear: "Huai'an, I have something very important to tell you."
Lu Huai'an frowned: "Go on."
Gu Nanzhi glanced at the crowd who hadn't left yet, then lowered her eyelids: "Huai'an is a private matter, and it might not be convenient to talk about it here."
“Sister Nanzhi, there’s nothing private between us.” Lu Huai’an didn’t give her a chance.
Gu Nanzhi's face turned pale, her eyes filled with tears, and her voice sounded heartbreaking.
"Huai'an, didn't we say that what happened back then would just be left as it was? You—"
Lu Huai'an frowned and gave Gu Nanzhi a cold look: "If you're here to tell me this, I have nothing to say to you."
He turned and shouted, "Ready, set, go!"
Before the last word had even finished, Gu Nanzhi, forgetting all about making small movements, hurriedly called out, "Wait, it's about Aunt Wen."
Lu Huai'an's tone shifted: "My mother?"
Gu Nanzhi nodded: "Huai'an, may I speak to you in private?"
"No need, we can talk right here."
Lu Huai'an trusted Wen Wanqing's character and didn't want to cause any rumors.
Gu Nanzhi hadn't expected that even after she had said all that, Lu Huai'an would remain unmoved, his fingers clenching the hem of his dress.
"There's a problem with the instruction manual that Aunt Wen translated."
Lu Huai'an didn't react, and Gu Nanzhi couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so she braced herself and continued.
“There are many technical terms in it, so it’s inevitable that Aunt Wen would make mistakes. Now the higher-ups want to hold her accountable. I tried to persuade Aunt Wen, but she thought I was being jealous and kicked me out.”
“Huai’an, this is no small matter. If there were any issues between us, we would have done it long ago—” Gu Nanzhi swallowed her words as Lu Huai’an’s gaze suddenly turned cold. “For Aunt’s sake, Huai’an, please persuade Aunt Wen to admit her mistake as soon as possible. For my sake, the punishment from above might be lighter.”
"Finished?" Lu Huai'an asked calmly.
"Um."
"Then please don't delay our training! You know the way, so we won't send anyone to escort you!"
After saying that, Lu Huai'an made a gesture and then disappeared from Gu Nanzhi's sight with the other nine people.
Gu Nanzhi watched Lu Huai'an's departing figure with a twisted obsession in her eyes.
Huai'an, after all these years, you are still so heartless.
It doesn't matter, even if we die, we'll lie in the same coffin.
-
Upon arriving at another training ground, Yang Bing couldn't help but say, "Captain, Nan Zhi meant well, why aren't you grateful? I was there yesterday, and it really was a problem with the instruction manual. You should quickly have Auntie apologize."
Lu Huai'an's complicated gaze fell on Yang Bing: "You used that machine?"
Yang Bing's eyes flickered, but he didn't want Lu Huai'an to blame Gu Nanzhi, so he denied it, saying, "No."
As the captain, Lu Huai'an had a familiar understanding of his soldiers, and he could tell at a glance that Yang Bing was lying.
He didn't expose him: "It's a personal matter, I have my own arrangements, you don't need to interfere."
Turning to the others, he said, "Listen up, everyone. Your strong bodies are your only chance to survive on the battlefield, not a license for you to be reckless. Don't take advantage of your good health to act arbitrarily."
It's not that Lu Huai'an is against taking risks; what angers him is that Yang Bing, easily swayed by a woman, doesn't take his own body seriously.
It should be noted that the military's training and development of these individuals far surpassed that of others.
They may die, but they must not die meaninglessly.
Yang Bing is a complete novice; how could he possibly be expected to lead from the front? He clearly doesn't care about his health.
