Chapter 539 Promise
"Qian Wei, calm down! Being discharged from the military isn't something anyone can decide for them..."
Lu Dong knew Qian Wei's reckless nature all too well and tried his best to explain things to him, but Qian Wei wouldn't listen.
"I don't care! If the 3rd Company can't tolerate him, I can find him a better place!"
At this point, Qian Wei had even considered asking his father for help.
Even if it meant kneeling before his father, he was determined to secure a future for Hou Baoquan.
Lu Dong was furious. What did he think the military was?
"Why don't you understand? It's not that the Third Company can't tolerate him; it's just that the rules are like this!"
"Screw the rules! If he leaves, I'm not staying either!" Qian Wei cursed as he spoke, uttering harsh words.
Lu Dong felt like slapping him a few more times.
Even Hou Baoquan couldn't stand it anymore. "Qian Wei, my decision to leave the army was voluntary. My parents are getting old, and I'm their only son. I have to go back and take care of them!"
Qian Wei's face was extremely ugly as he stared intently at Hou Baoquan, completely disbelieving the reasons he gave.
Hou Baoquan noticed his skepticism and became even more serious. "I'm not lying to you. My father is in poor health, and my mother has been doing all the farm work for the past few years. Not long ago, my mother also fell seriously ill, and their biggest wish is for me to go back home as soon as possible."
“We can bring them to Beijing to retire,” Qian Wei blurted out.
Hou Baoquan and Lu Dong both showed helpless expressions.
That's just childish talk.
"They won't come, so I have to go back." Hou Baoquan's voice was extremely loud, as if he were emphasizing something to himself.
Qian Wei finally fell silent.
After a brief silence, Hou Baoquan gave him a big smile.
"If you really feel sorry for me, then please continue your career in the military for me, okay?"
Qian Wei met his sincere and expectant gaze.
Promises made before today were worthless to him.
But at this moment, those vows that I used to make so easily now seem to weigh a ton.
"Okay, I promise you!"
A look of relief and satisfaction appeared on Hou Baoquan's pale face.
He knew he would agree.
That's enough.
Lu Dong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He could sense that Hou Baoquan's sacrifice had begun to affect Qian Wei.
"It's getting late, Qian Wei, you should go back first. I have some other things to discuss with Hou Baoquan alone."
Qian Wei stood there, still wanting to persuade Hou Baoquan not to retire from the army.
"Listen to the company commander, you can come see me again when you have time later."
Unexpectedly, Hou Baoquan also urged him to leave.
Now, even if they don't want to leave, they have to.
Lu Dong and Hou Baoquan watched him reluctantly leave the ward, and both of them felt a great sense of relief.
Qian Wei felt suffocated and walked forward with his head down, ignoring the three figures standing beside him.
"Fatty."
Guan An's shout finally made him stop in his tracks.
When he stiffly raised his head and saw the concerned looks from Su Jin, Guan An, and Wu Mang, he could no longer control the emotions he had been suppressing. He threw himself into Su Jin's arms and burst into tears.
They already knew what had happened to Qian Wei during the exercise, and that's why they came to the hospital specifically to find him because they were worried.
At that moment, none of them spoke, simply letting Qian Wei cry and vent his emotions...
