Chapter 168 Couples Talk



When Li Yuanliang heard his daughter asking him for the phone number of Gu Chijin Military District, he couldn't bear to let her down, so he waved his hand and immediately asked his men to look up the contact information of Gu Chijin Military District.

My subordinate was very reliable and sent the contact information in less than half an hour.

During this half hour, Shi Qi stayed with Ruan Qingwan, listening to Li Yuanliang calling her "wife" in a sweet voice and asking Ruan Qingwan if she was feeling better.

The concern and heartache in his voice overflowed through the microphone.

Ruan Qingwan felt particularly embarrassed when she heard his rambling voice and how he teased her in front of her daughter.

His cheeks were burning and he kept telling him to shut up. Who was Li Yuanliang? In the Li family, he was fearless except for Old Man Li. In his eyes, a few words of scolding from his own wife when she was angry was no different from flirting.

Therefore, after being gently scolded by Ruan Qingwan, Li Yuanliang still had the audacity to keep calling her wife.

Shi Qi endured the goose bumps on his hands and stayed by his side silently, not daring to say a word.

She was afraid that she would laugh as soon as she opened her mouth.

If her delicate mother saw her smile, she would probably be so embarrassed that her head would smoke.

Just when Shi Qi was about to lose control, she heard the voice of a strange man talking from Li Yuanliang's side.

Shi Qi realized something and immediately moved closer to Ruan Qingwan, calling her Dad.

Only then did Li Yuanliang realize that his daughter had been listening to him and Ruan Qingwan's banter. His shameless face turned red for a second, and he immediately cleared his throat and returned to normal.

He took the phone number his men had given him and pretended to read it out:

"Chu Chu, remember, Gu Chijin's number is 8X..."

Shi Qi took out the small notebook she had prepared long ago. Li Yuanliang said a number and she wrote it down quickly.

After recording the phone numbers, Shi Qi went upstairs with the small notebook in his arms, contentedly, and let Li Yuanliang and Ruan Qingwan and their husband talk to their heart's content.

That night, Shi Qi read the phone number over and over again, no less than ten times, and finally fell asleep contentedly.

Gu Chijin has been training with the troops these two days, but he would take time every day to meet with the officer from the Li family.

According to the information given by the officer, Gu Chijin secretly explored and finally found some clues.

Jiang Chen felt that Gu Chijin had been elusive all day long since he came back from the capital.

In the morning, the two of them were training together on the training ground, but when they turned around to have breakfast, the man disappeared.

When he went over with a grunt, he saw the man walking towards the military dormitory with a few steamed buns.

Also, when several companies were conducting simulated regimental combat training, he, as the deputy commander of the third battalion, was absent.

Jiang Chen thought he was not feeling well, so he ran to his military dormitory anxiously after training, only to find that he was in the dormitory, buried in writing a letter.

He looked serious and stern, and if you didn't know him, you would think he was issuing a challenge.

After a few times, Jiang Chen knew that the person in front of him must be hiding something from him.

That day, the troops finished training early. Jiang Chen wiped the sweat from his head and reached out to stop Gu Chijin who was walking out.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Gu, where are you going again?"

Gu Chijin stopped and glanced over, not knowing what Jiang Chen was going to do:

"Go back and take a shower and change clothes, what's wrong?"

Jiang Chen got angry when he saw him looking clueless. He had no idea what this guy was doing for several days. Couldn't he just ask him?

Pulling him to the corner, Jiang Chen was sweating all over. He stared at Gu Chijin, who was also sweating profusely, and said in a bad tone:

"Go ahead, Deputy Battalion Commander Gu.

What have you been busy with recently? Is there something important you're hiding from me?

Gu Chijin was unsure if Jiang Chen had discovered anything, so he calmed down and asked:

"What could I possibly be hiding from you?"

Jiang Chen laughed, wiped the sweat off his face roughly, and bared his teeth:

"How should I know what you are hiding from me?

For seven or eight days in a row, you have been running around in the army all day long.

Sometimes, I want to talk to you, but I can’t find anyone.

Tell me, did your superiors assign you some kind of mission, or task, in the army?

Gu Chijin knew that Jiang Chen was very sharp. He seemed careless on the surface, but when something really happened, he was very meticulous and never vague at all.

Now that he had discovered something suspicious, Gu Chijin knew that if he didn't come up with an explanation today, he wouldn't be able to dispel his doubts.

Leaning against the wall, Gu Chijin's mind raced, but he appeared calm on the surface.

"Nothing much, my boss just asked me to go around the army recently to see how the troops train and what needs to be improved compared to the capital.

Let me summarize the key points and write a report.

Yesterday, when you came to see me, you saw me writing a report."

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, staring at Gu Chijin and spitting out:

“Bah.

If you were writing a report yesterday, I would have twisted my head off and used it as a stool for you.

Yesterday I went to your military dormitory to find you, but you covered the letter and wouldn't let me see it.

I thought you were writing some government document that was extremely confidential.

Now, you're telling me I'm writing a report?

Gu Chijin, do you think I'm the village idiot?

So easy to fool?"

Pointing at Gu Chijin, Jiang Chen almost laughed out of anger:

"You bastard, if you don't want to say it, just say it.

Don't try to fool me with these lame excuses.

Tell me directly, can I know what you are doing now?"

Jiang Chen had said this, and Gu Chijin shook his head and said calmly:

"cannot."

“Ahem…”

Jiang Chen coughed twice in anger, kicked Gu Chijin, glared at him, and left angrily.

Let’s not talk about it.

As for him, Jiang Chen, he was really bored and liked to meddle in other people's business.

Looking at Jiang Chen's angry back, Gu Chijin frowned slightly, straightened up, turned around and went back to the military dormitory to continue writing the letter.

After two days of investigation, he was basically sure who the person on the Qu family's side was.

But he was not sure in his heart, so Gu Chijin wanted the Li family to help set up a trap and give it a try.

After writing the code in the letter, Gu Chijin asked someone to mail it. Calculating the time, they could take action at the latest in a week.

After delivering the letter, Gu Chijin was just about to take a shower and change his clothes when he heard a new soldier running over hurriedly and asking him to go to the telephone room to answer a call.

He said it was a call from his family.

Gu Chijin told his grandfather and father the unit number.

When he heard the new recruit running to inform him, he thought something had happened at home. He didn't even take a shower and followed the new recruit out.

Walking to the military telephone room, Gu Chijin picked up the phone with a serious expression:

"I'm Gu Chijin, who are you?"

There was no sound on the phone.

Gu Chijin frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Grandpa? Or Dad? What happened at home?"

Gu Chijin's voice was deep and powerful, and the tone coming through the old-fashioned telephone receiver was a little different from his usual tone.

Hearing the familiar yet unfamiliar voice, Shiqi became nervous for no reason.

Hearing this, Shi Qi tightened his grip on the microphone slightly, and spoke softly after a while:

"Gu Chijin, it's me.

Time."
