Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Although Xu Zhenyu was rather thrilled to have shaken Si Yiyan off and even prevented him from seeing Wen Xinya, he was not exactly in a good mood. In fact, he felt terrible.

He had met Si Yiyan twice before and on both occasions, Si Yiyan exuded a threatening dominance which made him feel rather terrified. In the past, he used to think that Si Yiyan was a mysterious and powerful man who delved into the triads. He even warned Wen Xinya not to get too close to him.

He had also once felt fortunate about that because he believed that Wen Xinya would not fall for a man like him.

After Wen Xinya got rescued by the mysterious man, Si Yiyan, Xu Zhenyu found out that Si Yiyan was extremely powerful and that he was even associated with the military. Si Yiyan then colluded with the higher authorities of the military and shortchanged him. Ever since then, he knew that Si Yiyan was not one to be trifled with.

He again thought about how Wen Xinya’s eyes would glisten whenever she mentioned about Si Yiyan, after which he began to feel flustered and anxious.

Wen Xinya and him…

He dared not imagine it, nor was he willing to do so. All he felt was misery and dejection.

“Boss, that Mr. Si who came by for a visit today seems to be some big shot. Who exactly is he?”

Xu Zhenyu was silently observing his rival in love. Like they always say, you have to know your enemy better in order to win the battle.

He had indeed tried to find out more about Si Yiyan in the past, but he did not manage to discover much because he barely knew anything about Si Yiyan. Besides, there were limits to his resources. Now that his rival had invaded his territory, he definitely had to do something. Hence, he decided to try his luck for he felt that the senior officer of the base camp would definitely know something.

The officer was in the midst of reading some documents when he heard his words. He looked up at Xu Zhenyu and asked, “Didn’t I tell you to accompany Mr. Si and show him around the base camp? What are you doing here?”

Xu Zhenyu chuckled and said, “He’s highly mighty and he’s such a big shot. He has the admirals or colonels to chaperone him. He wouldn’t need a small fry like me, I’m just a Major.”

The senior officer rubbed his ear and gibed. “Why do you sound so bitter? Did Mr. Si snatch your girlfriend away or sleep with your wife?”

Sir, you’ve spoken the truth! 

Xu Zhenyu was in the midst of drinking some water when he heard the officer’s words. He spat the water out in shock and choked on the remaining water in his mouth. He turned red immediately and began coughing violently.

Seeing how unsettled Xu Zhenyu was, the senior officer put his document down and asked calmly, “Hey… why is your reaction so huge? Did I guess correctly?”

Xu Zhenyu continued coughing violently while struggling to speak, “Who… who’s reacting… vigorously. I only coughed… because your words were too shocking.”

The senior officer did not think too much of it. Instead, he said, “Yeah… it is very shocking. Us soldiers stay in camp all day and it really is difficult to find a girlfriend to settle down with. From now on, if you ever set your sights on a girl, let me write you a marriage report so as to prevent anyone from intervening.”

Xu Zhenyu almost burst into tears. What is going on?

I’m clearly here to find out more about my rival. Why has the topic become this? 

Sir, can we still have a merry chat?

Xu Zhenyu finally stopped coughing. Feeling like he ought to bug the senior officer further, he asked, “Boss, you haven’t answered my question. Who exactly is that Mr. Si!?!”

The senior officer answered calmly, “Why do you care so much about who he is? No matter who he may be, we’ll be rewarded and our job will be done once we send him off later.”

Although the senior officer did not know much about Si Yiyan’s identity, he could tell from his superior’s words and mysterious attitude that Si Yiyan held some authority. Hence, he did not plan to answer Xu Zhenyu’s questions.

Xu Zhenyu did not expect to receive such an answer. The more mysterious the senior officer was, the more likely it was that there was something amiss. “Boss, we’ve taken him on a tour around the place. It can’t be that we don’t know anything about him at all! This has never happened before.”

The identities of the visitors to the base camp had always been transparent and never this mysterious.

The senior officer stared at him and said, “If you know, you know. If you don’t, you don’t.”

The officer did not think much of Xu Zhenyu’s curiosity, for he felt that it was normal for humans to be curious. Even the officer himself… got curious and felt an urge to find out more after hearing about the inspection.

Xu Zhenyu’s face grew sullen and he retorted. “Heck, Boss! You’re being too evil by being so intellectual with someone like me.”

The senior officer said, “I remember learning this in secondary school.”

Xu Zhenyu was infuriated.

The senior officer explained, “This Mr. Si is not on the same level as us, and the higher-ups are also very tight-lipped about him. You’d better not try to probe. You’ve just returned from the Northwest region. It’s better to be careful in Capital city.”

It was both a warning and a reminder.

Xu Zhenyu knew that there was no chance for him to find out more from the officer.

Heartened to see that he had understood his words, the senior officer handed him a diagnosis report and said, “This is a medical report of a student from your team. I’ve given her a five-day medical leave and you’re allowed to make special arrangements for this period of time.”

Since Xu Zhenyu was the commander, he definitely had to be informed.

“Damn, who’s this? He’s applying for five days in a row with special arrangements,” said Xu Zhenyu, who was in disbelief about the student who had applied for leave directly from the senior officer. The first thing that came to his mind was that the student must have had a powerful background. He had always despised such students.

Xu Zhenyu took a look at the report to see that it was Wen Xinya!

He was dumbfounded.

How could it be Wen Xinya’s medical report?

Xu Zhenyu took a closer look and his face grew sullen.

Wen Xinya was diagnosed with a cold womb and had poor blood circulation. He and his friends all knew that she had been taking Traditional Chinese Medicine given by Old Mr. Du to nourish her body. They had even searched about her condition on the internet and found out that such ailments would cause women immense pain and misery when they act up. Hence, he was extremely worried.

However, he did not expect that the outdoors training and ball game in the mud field would cause her ailment to act up.

Xu Zhenyu was worried, regretful and guilty!

He put the report away and strode towards the medical office.
