Zhou Chuan saw the sentry go to call for help, but didn't think much of it. The military was strictly managed and didn't allow outsiders to enter casually, which she could understand. She could use this little bit of time to review how to give Sun Gousheng a good beating later.

After waiting for a while, Sun Gousheng didn't appear. Instead, two soldiers arrived, one with one bar and three stars, and the other with one bar and one star. The three-star soldier tried to shake hands with Zhou Chuan, but seeing Zhou Chuan's cold expression, he didn't care at all and enthusiastically introduced himself:

"Comrade, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. You've come at an inopportune time. Battalion Commander Sun has just gone on a mission. I'm in charge of all the affairs in the battalion. I'm Battalion Commander Sun's partner, Weiguo. You can just call me Weiguo."

After introducing himself, he pulled over his subordinate and continued, "This is Xiao Wang, Wang Yida. He is the political commissar of the guard company. The one who just received you was Liu Xing, who is still a greenhorn. Uh, after all this talk, I still don't know your surname, comrade."

"My name is Zhou Chuan, sir. I am Sun Gousheng's wife. Where is he?!"

Wei Guo rushed over immediately after hearing the report from his office. Seeing her in person, his heart skipped a beat. Could this weathered woman, who looked to be in her fifties, really be Battalion Commander Sun's wife? With a serious expression, Wei Guo asked, "Comrade Zhou Chuan, hello. May I ask what business you have with Battalion Commander Sun?"

Zhou Chuan looked at him coldly and asked directly, "Where's Sun Gousheng? Tell him to come out! I'll talk to him myself. Damn it, now that he's an officer, he wants to dump his country wife and marry a city guy. Chen Shimei, ingrate, heartless!"

With a hunch in mind, Wei Guo looked at Zhou Chuan. He could now understand why Sun Jun had chosen Liu Cuilan; they were both women, yet the difference was too great. No wonder Liu Xing had mistaken her for Sun Jun's mother earlier.

"Battalion Commander Sun isn't here right now; he's on a mission and we don't know when he'll be back. What can I do for you?"

Zhou Chuan listened coldly to his words, but instead of answering his question directly, he inquired about Sun Gousheng: "Where is that damned Sun Gousheng? Did he know I was coming and deliberately hide?"

Wang Yida lowered his head and pretended not to hear.

Wei Guo chuckled, "How could that be? Battalion Commander Sun really did go on a mission. It wasn't just him; our entire regiment went out. It's such a big deal; any soldier would know. I have no reason to lie to you."

Thankfully, Sun Jun wasn't here today, otherwise I would have been incredibly embarrassed. Those country women are all incredibly cunning and argumentative...

Zhou Chuan seemed to agree with him: "Fine, whatever you say goes. Then arrange a guesthouse for me, I'll wait here. That son of a bitch Sun Gousheng wants to dump me? No way!" Zhou Chuan said the last sentence through gritted teeth.

Wang Yida couldn't help but cough twice, then quickly covered his mouth and continued to lower his head, pretending not to hear.

Wei Guo glanced at Wang Yida, and seeing that he had his head down, he didn't say anything. He then looked away and carefully considered his words:

"Comrade, have you encountered some difficulties? If so, you can tell me. I'm afraid that Battalion Commander Sun won't be back for a while, which might cause delays."

Zhou Chuan squinted and stared intently at him: "I waited for him for fifteen years in the countryside, and I don't mind waiting for him for another fifteen years!" He can hide from her for the rest of his life if he dares!

Wei Guo dared not refuse any longer: "Alright, I'll arrange a guesthouse for you right away!" He was afraid that if he said no again, the woman in front of him would go crazy.

Zhou Chuan watched as Wei Guo went to the door to make a phone call, then whispered something to Wang Yida before politely saying goodbye to Zhou Chuan.

"Comrade, the guesthouse situation has been resolved. You can go with Xiao Wang later. I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. If you need anything later, feel free to contact me or Xiao Wang."

Zhou Chuan knew he was just being polite: "It's the same if I need to see Political Commissar Wang."

Wang Yida nodded to the leader and led Zhou Chuan to the guesthouse. Perhaps because Wei Guo had made arrangements, the guesthouse arranged a single room for Zhou Chuan.

Wang Yida brought the person there, gave some instructions, and then left. He didn't want to get involved in this mess.

Zhou Chuan looked around the room and guessed that this military region had only been built in the last two years. The facilities looked quite new, but in this day and age, even the newest facilities are just so-so.

She opened the small cloth bag she carried with her, took out two sesame seed cakes, and spread them on the table. She was afraid they would spoil if left inside. She had bought them early that morning from the nearest town. She knew the town was not far from the military region, but she was worried about not having some dry food with her.

While she was checking in at the front desk, she asked the receptionist for a bowl, poured herself a bowl of water, drank it, and then lay down on the bed to sleep.

Zhou Chuan didn't wash her face and went straight to bed. Washing her face would have made her look less travel-worn. She wanted people to see her pitiful state now, since she had traveled thousands of miles to find her husband, which was very touching.

She could tell that that damned Sun Gousheng seemed to be doing quite well in the army, and that political commissar was obviously favoring him. Humph, she'd wait and see once she gathered her strength.

She slept in a large dormitory room yesterday, but didn't sleep well. Plus, she woke up very early this morning, so she was exhausted and soon fell asleep!

Once the guesthouse was quiet, Wang Yida rushed back and immediately reported to his superior.

Wei Guo had a headache after hearing this: "Sigh, I hope our battalion commander can come back a couple of days later... What kind of mess is this?!"

Judging from the woman's appearance just now, she must have suffered a lot in the countryside. She probably hates the battalion commander a lot right now. If she makes a scene, their entire battalion will lose face.

Wang Yida lowered his head and remained silent; he couldn't speak of what his superiors were saying.

Wei Guo saw that his subordinate was like a wooden stake, unable to help him solve his problems, so he dismissed him to avoid getting annoyed by seeing him.

As soon as Wang Yida left the political commissar's office, he curled his lip. The political commissar was really just bored and had nothing better to do. What did he have to worry about? This situation wasn't unique to their battalion commander; there were even regimental commanders among them.

The higher-ups won't punish the battalion commander for this. Anyway, everyone's in the same boat, so no one should laugh at anyone else. The lower-ups don't need to worry either. Even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to speak ill of their superiors.

Wei Guo, sitting in his office, seemed less optimistic than his subordinates. He was pacing back and forth, trying to figure out how to get rid of the battalion commander's wife.
