Chapter 107 This bastard isn't possessed by a ghost, he's just blinded by lust.
Zhang Xiaobing pushed Gu Dongguo's wheelchair and jogged back to the courtyard, not even bothering to wipe the sweat from his face.
He parked the wheelchair at the entrance of the main room, looked at Gu Dongguo's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his tightly clenched fists, and said cautiously:
"Commander Gu, please calm down. The higher-ups will definitely handle this..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Dongguo impatiently waved his hand to interrupt him.
"Alright, Xiao Zhang, you can go back now. I'm fine."
Gu Dongguo's voice was low and suppressed, conveying his anger.
Zhang Xiaobing didn't dare to say anything more. He saluted, turned around, and quickly left, thoughtfully closing the gate behind him.
The courtyard gate creaked shut, cutting off outside light and sound.
Gu Dongguo sat in his wheelchair, his chest heaving violently, staring at the closed courtyard gate, then turning his head to look at Lu Zhanming.
Lu Zhanming was peeking out of the kitchen, still holding a spatula in his hand. When he saw Gu Dongguo looking at him, he walked over expressionlessly and slammed the door of the main room shut.
The light in the room dimmed, making the atmosphere even more oppressive.
As Gu Dongguo watched the door close, he could no longer contain himself. He slammed his hands on the armrests of his wheelchair and stood up abruptly!
That "severely injured" leg was firmly planted on the ground, showing no signs of injury whatsoever.
He didn't even bother to push the wheelchair; he rushed to Gu Baobao's room in a few steps, opened the door without knocking, and barged in.
"Baby!"
Gu Dongguo's voice was both urgent and painful.
"Brother's back! You've been wronged! Don't worry, I'll risk my life to get justice for you! How dare they pin the blame for my sister being an enemy spy? I'll kill them!"
His eyes were red with anger, and all the rage and frustration he had been suppressing in front of his sister finally erupted.
Forget about discipline and image, to hell with them!
His sister is being bullied to death!
Gu Baobao was squatting on the ground, tidying up the clothes she had haphazardly stuffed into her bundle for the sake of "acting".
Hearing her brother burst in, she looked up. Her face didn't show much anger, but rather an unusual calmness, even a hint of relaxation after exhaustion.
When she saw her brother stand up from his wheelchair and rush in, she merely raised an eyebrow slightly, showing no surprise.
Thanks to the effects of the spiritual spring water and her bone-setting techniques, her brother's leg had long since healed; pretending to be lame was merely a temporary measure.
"elder brother,"
She stood up, placed a neatly folded piece of clothing beside the bed, and spoke earnestly.
"You shouldn't do anything right now."
"What?"
Gu Dongguo was taken aback.
"I am a suspected enemy agent,"
Gu Baobao looked at him, speaking each word clearly and calmly.
"Although the leaders said they would investigate and clear my name, the suspicion still exists in name until there is a formal conclusion and a public resolution. You are my own brother, a family member of a suspected enemy agent."
She paused, then emphasized:
"At times like these, the more agitated you are, the more likely you are to be caught red-handed and accused of being desperate or a cover-up by accomplices. This will only complicate matters further and be detrimental to both of us."
Gu Dongguo felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him from head to toe. His anger was extinguished with a "whoosh," leaving only a chilling fear and a deeper sense of frustration.
He opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but found that his sister was right.
If he were to actually kill someone now, that would truly cause trouble for his sister and confirm the slander against him by certain people!
"I fucking..."
Gu Dongguo slammed his fist hard against the door frame beside him, making a dull thud. His eyes were red with anger.
"Damn it! I'm so frustrated!"
"Brother! Watch your words."
Lu Zhanming had followed them in at some point and stood behind Gu Dongguo, his hand on Gu's shoulder, seemingly to comfort him, but actually carrying an undeniable force.
"Be careful what you say in front of the baby."
Gu Dongguo was already angry, and this interruption only made him angrier. He turned around and yelled:
"I'm talking to my sister, what's it to you! Lu Zhanming, wait, what did you just call me?"
He belatedly realized that Lu Zhanming's "brother" sounded so natural and smooth, as if he had called him that eight hundred times.
Lu Zhanming released his grip, took a half step back, his face expressionless, but there was a subtle curve at the corner of his mouth and a fleeting glint of smugness in his eyes?
This set off alarm bells in Gu Dongguo's mind.
"elder brother."
Lu Zhanming called out clearly again, this time even smiling slightly, revealing a set of neat white teeth that stood out conspicuously in the dimly lit room.
"It's only right to get used to it in advance."
Gu Dongguo: "...???"
He was stunned, as if struck by lightning, standing there dumbfounded, his mind buzzing.
After several seconds, he suddenly gasped, his eyes widening as he looked Lu Zhanming up and down as if he were seeing him for the first time.
"grass!"
Gu Dongguo finally regained his voice, filled with disbelief and horror.
"Lu Zhanming, are you possessed by a ghost? Or did you damage your brain during training?!"
This glib-tongued, sycophantic man with the "I need to please my brother-in-law" attitude—is this really the same Lu Zhanming he knows, the man who is taciturn, cold-faced, and has an aura that can freeze you to death?!
Hallucination!
It must be because I was too traumatized today and am hallucinating!
Lu Zhanming ignored his shock and looked past him to Gu Baobao behind him.
The little girl was looking down, pretending to tidy her clothes, but her bright red ear tips and slightly pink neck betrayed her current mood.
Lu Zhanming's eyes instantly softened to the point of being overflowing with tenderness, and the smile on his lips was impossible to suppress.
Gu Dongguo felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of that lecherous grinning at his wife, and at the same time, he finally understood:
This bastard isn't possessed by a ghost, he's just blinded by lust!
Gu Baobao felt uncomfortable under the intense gazes of the two men, especially Lu Zhanming's undisguised stare, which made her cheeks burn.
She hastily stuffed the last piece of clothing into her bundle, pushed it onto the bed, got up, and tried to remain calm with a stern face.
"If you want to argue, go outside! I need to pack my things!"
Before the two men could react, she swiftly reached out and shoved them out, one in each hand.
Then, with a loud "bang," the door slammed shut, and the clear sound of the latch sliding could be heard from inside.
Lu Zhanming was pushed back half a step, and looking at the closed door in front of him, his silly grin became even brighter.
His baby closed the door!
She's shy!
Her ears turned red!
So cute!
How can there be such adorable people in the world!
He was completely absorbed in his own pink bubble, grinning foolishly at the door panel. If his soldiers saw him like that, they would probably think their commander had been replaced.
