That afternoon, Nie Shenyuan met with Chief Yu in person.

Before going, Coach Lu said he would accompany him, but Nie Shenyuan stopped him.

This appearance wasn't a good thing; in fact, it could be considered a troublemaker. Being remembered by him was even worse. Nie Shenyuan didn't want Coach Lu to get involved in this mess.

It's acceptable when operating within one's own military.

Chief Yu's demeanor was very gentle, and his gaze toward Nie Shenyuan contained no hint of criticism, but rather a touch of appreciation.

Their attitudes are completely different from those of their families.

Jia Ting and Yu Lingling followed behind him. They both looked at Nie Shenyuan when he came in, but did not say anything.

"Indeed, you are a fine young man. It is our pride to have such an outstanding soldier as you." Commander Yu patted Nie Shenyuan on the shoulder with approval.

"Greetings, Commander." Nie Shenyuan saluted directly.

"Good, good comrade." Commander Yu was not tall, and he had to look up when he looked at Nie Shenyuan.

"You're quite tall. Are you from the north? Is it hereditary? Are your parents this tall too?" Chief Yu praised with a smile, chatting casually with Nie Shenyuan.

“It’s from the north,” Nie Shenyuan said.

"Then your son is probably tall too," he said confidently, then turned to the police officer beside him, "Did you also send his family over?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, he turned to Nie Shenyuan and said, "Later, let's see if your son can grow tall like you."

Chief Yu chatted with Nie Shenyuan about some seemingly useless everyday things, every word and sentence was about Nie Shenyuan's family situation, and he also asked Nie Shenyuan how he and Xie Qingyu got married, whether it was love at first sight or something, while making jokes, he was very easy-going.

He said some trivial things, and Nie Shenyuan replied indifferently, without mentioning the important reason for his visit.

When Xie Qingyu appeared at the door with Tuanzi in her arms, Chief Yu finally gave up chatting with Nie Shenyuan and turned to look at Xie Qingyu.

He stared at Xie Qingyu for a few moments before turning his gaze to the little dumpling in her arms.

"Is this your son? How old is he? Is he four years old yet?" Chief Yu asked.

“It’s almost three years old,” Nie Shenyuan replied.

"Just like you, I'll grow tall in the future," Chief Yu said with a smile.

Then he looked at Xie Qingyu and said, "I haven't introduced myself yet. Besides this official title, I am also Yu Lingling's father."

He shook his head and sighed, "To be honest, I've been too busy lately and haven't taught her well. She's even been misled into doing such a foolish thing."

“I have a clear understanding of the whole story. It was indeed her fault, and it has caused you some trouble. But I also know her. Although she has a bad temper, is a bit impatient, and has a childish nature, she is not timid and would never make a big mistake, much less do anything like harming anyone. You can rest assured about that.”

Chief Yu's second half of his sentence was addressed to Xie Qingyu, and it was meant to comfort her.

In just a few words, he could define Yu Lingling's behavior as that of a child who listens to others and doesn't know any better. It seemed like he was apologizing, but in reality, he was downplaying the matter.

"Comrade Yu is indeed quite childish, so she wants to own everything she sees. But men are different from other things. If it were anything else, I would give it away, but if it's a man, and I have a child with me, isn't that forcing me to die?" Xie Qingyu was about to burst into tears as she spoke, like an honest person who had been bullied and had no other choice.

Only Yu Lingling had seen her cry like that before, and that time everyone in the art troupe sided with her.

Seeing her make that expression again, Yu Lingling instinctively became a little nervous.

"You're talking nonsense! Who forced you to die!" Yu Lingling couldn't help but speak up.

"Shut up!" Chief Yu glared at Yu Lingling immediately upon hearing this.

I told her not to speak before we came, but she still won't listen.

Xie Qingyu looked at Yu Lingling, "Chief, it's not that I'm wronging her. If someone like that were in our village, they would be drowned in spit."

Xie Qingyu's words showed how serious this matter was.

Of course, Chief Yu understood without her saying so.

"And this old lady, what can I do if she's helping her own daughter?" Xie Qingyu said helplessly.

Chief Yu glanced at Xie Qingyu again, his eyes unreadable, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

"She won't, I've already talked to both of them."

“Shenyuan had told her several times that he didn’t like it, but it was no use.” Xie Qingyu’s words implied that Yu Lingling wouldn’t listen to reason.

It's no use for Chief Yu to just talk.

As Xie Qingyu spoke, Nie Shenyuan stood beside her, having already taken Tuanzi from her. He stood there as if supporting Xie Qingyu, as if the two were one and shared the same attitude.

Chief Yu's expression softened, revealing a gentle demeanor once more.

"That's right, it's because I haven't been paying enough attention to her that this happened." He looked at Yu Lingling, "Hurry up and apologize."
