With Xu Ren's words, Gu Yan dared not cause any more trouble, and Political Commissar Feng and Xu Ren then left with their men.

On the way back, Guo Chunxiang still looked shaken.

"My God, I never expected Comrade Gu to be so fierce." Guo Chunxiang patted her chest. "Qin Qianqian's face is probably going to be scarred."

Deng Hongmei remained relatively calm, having spent a long time with the army and encountered all sorts of people.

It was just a fight; she even got involved in one herself back in the day.

"Comrade Gu went too far; that little injury won't leave a scar."

It's only possible for someone like them, who's used to doing manual labor, to do that.

Guo Chunxiang looked at Deng Hongmei with suspicion. "Sister-in-law Hongmei, why do you seem a little gloating?"

"Ahem!" Deng Hongmei cleared her throat and said in a serious tone, "You've misunderstood."

There were some things her husband, Lao Feng, didn't say explicitly, but he did remind her to stay away from Qin Qianqian.

If that's the case, then Qin Qianqian must have a problem.

Gu Yan hit Qin Qianqian, so Qin Qianqian must have done something to anger Gu Yan.

Deng Hongmei didn't say anything, but Guo Chunxiang was extremely anxious. Deng Hongmei then went to the other side and started teasing Nuonuo.

"This child is quite brave; he wasn't scared at all."

Li Wanqing smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't joke around. She just didn't cry. She's afraid she'll have nightmares tonight."

"That's true, you should be extra careful tonight," Deng Hongmei advised.

Li Wanqing nodded; that was for sure.

Although Nono didn't show it, she had already complained to her in her heart.

The three adults and one child hadn't gone far when they saw Cheng Baichuan limping towards them.

Guo Chunxiang slapped her forehead. "I forgot about this. Luckily, Battalion Commander Cheng reminded me to go find Political Commissar Feng and Regiment Commander Xu."

"I forgot to tell you, your Battalion Commander Cheng is coming too."

She just hadn't expected that even after everything had blown over, Battalion Commander Cheng still hadn't arrived...

Hey!

It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone; Battalion Commander Cheng's injury will require careful recuperation.

Li Wanqing frowned slightly. If she wasn't mistaken, Cheng Baichuan still had mud on him.

It looks like it's been hurt.

Deng Hongmei glanced at Cheng Baichuan, then smiled and said, "Since Battalion Commander Cheng has come to pick you and your daughter up, we'll be leaving now."

"It's getting dark, I need to hurry back to cook dinner."

With that, he pulled Guo Chunxiang, who was still standing to the side, away.

Li Wanqing, carrying her daughter, quickly walked to Cheng Baichuan's side. "Are you alright?"

"Is your leg injured?"

Li Wanqing put her daughter down and began to check her over.

Don't let rehabilitation show some progress only to cause another fall and further problems.

Cheng Baichuan shook his head. "It's nothing. I was just walking too fast and tripped. I'm not hurt."

Li Wanqing breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Actually, you don't need to go over there. There are plenty of people over there, and I'll try to avoid them."

Cheng Baichuan felt a pang of sadness, so he simply gave a faint "hmm".

"Where are Gu Yan and Qin Qianqian?"

"Political Commissar Feng and Regiment Commander Xu took them away." Li Wanqing said with some worry, "Do you think this commotion will make Qin Qianqian more cautious?"

Cheng Baichuan's expression was somewhat grave. "That depends on what Political Commissar Feng and Regiment Commander Xu have to say."

Nono tugged at Cheng Baichuan's trouser leg, "Daddy~ it hurts~ Nono~ ouch~"

Cheng Baichuan's heart softened, and he squatted down, picking up Nuonuo with one hand.

"Why are you carrying her? Your legs will hurt later." Li Wanqing tried to take her daughter from him, but Cheng Baichuan turned away instead.

"It's alright, Nuonuo isn't heavy. I'll walk slower this time, nothing will happen."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be reluctant, Li Wanqing didn't stop him anymore.

Back home, Cheng Baichuan spent the whole time playing with Nuonuo.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be in any particular mood, Li Wanqing went straight to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

After finishing the meal, Cheng Baichuan seemed to be doing well, so Li Wanqing didn't think much of it.

Just before lights out, Qin Qianqian came over, and Li Wanqing finally learned how the matter had been resolved.

Gu Yan was given a demerit and was also responsible for all of Qin Qianqian's medical expenses.

"Sister-in-law, Political Commissar Feng said that Yan Yan harbored resentment because the man she liked liked me."

Do you think this is reliable or not?

Qin Qianqian asked tentatively, feeling that something was off, but Gu Yan had already apologized to her, so she couldn't hold a grudge.

Li Wanqing smiled innocently, "I don't know about this. After all, you and Gu Yan are friends. I've never even met her, so I really don't know."

Qin Qianqian's eyes darkened slightly. Gu Yan did indeed have someone she liked, a doctor at the provincial hospital.

That doctor...did have a bit of a crush on her.

However, she was wary of Gu Yan's family background, which is why she kept her answer hanging.

Could it be that person couldn't wait to confront Gu Yan and dragged her into it?

Is that why Gu Yan was so furious?

She felt something was off, but upon closer inspection, it made sense.

Did Gu Yan not know about Gu Chengguang's assassination attempt?

Considering how much the Gu family dotes on Gu Yan, this situation doesn't seem impossible.

Qin Qianqian snapped out of her daze, smiled at Li Wanqing, and said, "Then I'll head back now, sister-in-law. Sorry to bother you."

Li Wanqing shook her head and even told her with concern to go back and take good care of her wound.

Qin Qianqian then left with a smile.

Li Wanqing returned to the house, where Cheng Baichuan was still playing with Nuonuo.

Li Wanqing sat down next to him and whispered, "She doesn't seem to suspect anything."

However, this matter is quite mysterious; Qin Qianqian could actually accept such a ridiculous reason.

That only proves one thing... Qin Qianqian probably really did steal Gu Yanxin's love interest in secret.

hiss!

If Gu Yan found out... she'd probably want to kill Qin Qianqian.

Cheng Baichuan had excellent hearing, and he heard the conversation between the two people in the courtyard very clearly.

"Not necessarily." Cheng Baichuan's thoughts were not as optimistic as Li Wanqing's. "She's still in the military region and can't leave. If this goes on for too long, she'll definitely become suspicious."

Once those people realize what's happening in the provincial capital, they'll definitely try to send a message to Qin Qianqian.

Li Wanqing sighed softly, for the first time hoping that her scumbag father would come soon.

"I wonder how He Mei is doing?"

That scumbag father is far too cautious; she's even afraid He Mei won't be able to find him.

"Yu Tuan has already sent people to Shou County. If they can find my father-in-law, that would be best. If not, they can at least find out what those people are doing in Hunan Province."

Li Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Li Wanqing picked up Nuonuo and said, "Nuonuo, let's go wash up and go to bed."

Nono blinked and nodded, "Mmm."

Li Wanqing had only taken two steps with the child in her arms when she turned to Cheng Baichuan with a beaming smile.

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, Nuonuo was frightened earlier, let her sleep with us tonight."
