B5SB -Chapter 108 Investigation Order

The next morning, Lin Yifei went to pick Qiao Shuhui up from the temporary placement center.

He walked quickly in front, completely ignoring Qiao Shuhui, who was following behind him.

The day before, after finishing training and heading back, Lin Yifei had been stopped by Brigade Commander Zhang’s orderly and taken to Zhang’s office.

Whenever Lin Yifei thought about how Commander Zhang had patted him on the shoulder and sighed, saying, “Jealousy among military family members must not be too severe.”

“A soldier’s promotion doesn’t depend only on personal ability. Family factors also matter.”

Lin Yifei knew this was Commander Zhang’s way of telling him to keep Qiao Shuhui in check.

But he really couldn’t understand why Qiao Shuhui couldn’t stand seeing Gu Yihan doing well. What benefit did it bring her?

Qiao Shuhui hadn’t rested well all night. She had finally endured until morning, and when Lin Yifei came to pick her up, he was giving her the cold shoulder.

“Brother Yifei, did I cause you trouble?” Qiao Shuhui asked pitifully, her eyes reddened, as she spoke to his back.

Thinking that she was still pregnant, Lin Yifei stopped and turned to look at her.

Qiao Shuhui suddenly jogged forward and threw herself into his arms, crying softly.

“Brother Yifei, it’s all my fault. I really thought that person was Gu Yihan’s father…”

A trace of irritation flashed in Lin Yifei’s eyes. Did Qiao Shuhui really think he was that easy to fool?

Still, he adjusted his expression and patted her back patiently.

“We need to walk faster.”

“You probably didn’t sleep well last night. Go back and rest.”

Then he gently broke free from her embrace. The two walked side by side, both remaining silent.

After opening the door, Lin Yifei helped Qiao Shuhui sit on the wooden sofa.

“I’ll pour you a glass of water,” he said.

Just as he turned toward the kitchen, Qiao Shuhui grabbed his hand. Choking back sobs, she asked, “Do you hate me now?”

Lin Yifei turned around and looked at her swollen, tear-filled eyes. He finally couldn’t hold back anymore.

“Qiao Shuhui, I’m not stupid. Again and again, you use your tears to threaten me and force me to compromise. I’m a soldier. I’m alert, and I have my own judgment. My thoughts won’t change just because you act cute or cry. Why are you always targeting Gu Yihan? Ever since you first met her, you’ve been deliberately picking on her. Haven’t you noticed? Every time you run into her, it’s like you become a different person.”

Qiao Shuhui stared at him with wide eyes, tears falling one after another.

Her lips were tightly pressed together, her heart aching. What could she say? Could she tell him that, in history, Gu Yihan was his real wife?

Seeing her cry, Lin Yifei became even more irritated. He raked his fingers through his hair and dropped heavily onto the sofa.

Looking at her coldly, he said, “Why do you always cry? Besides crying, what else can you do?”

Qiao Shuhui suddenly looked up at him in disbelief and shouted, “How can you treat me like this?

“I was terrified all night. I finally waited for you to come, and instead of comforting me, you interrogate me!”

Lin Yifei closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and spoke flatly, “Think whatever you want.”

With that, he stood up and slammed the door as he left.

Seeing that he didn’t care about her feelings at all, Qiao Shuhui collapsed onto the sofa and burst into loud sobs.

After crying for a while, she raised her head and muttered, “It’s all Gu Yihan’s fault. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have been locked up, and I wouldn’t have fought with Lin Yifei.”

“Yes, it’s because of Gu Yihan that Lin Yifei has lost patience with me.”

Killing intent flashed in her eyes.

“Gu Yihan, why don’t you just die? Why did Heaven let her marry into the Kun City Military District?”

Elsewhere, After finishing breakfast at the cafeteria, Gu Yihan and Lu Huailin strolled slowly along the paths of the family compound.

After eating, Xiao Wu spotted them from afar and shouted loudly, “Regimental Commander Lu! Sister-in-law!”

Hearing his voice, the two turned around and saw him striding toward them.

With a grin, Xiao Wu said, “Commander, you’re recovering really fast! It’s only been a few days, and you’re already out walking.”

“You have no idea—without you around, those troublemakers in the regiment have gone completely wild.”

Lu Huailin glanced at him coldly.

“You’re disturbing my walk with your sister-in-law.”

Xiao Wu: “……”

Gu Yihan listened to their mismatched exchange and secretly rolled her eyes.

She didn’t believe Xiao Wu hadn’t heard the rumors in the compound.

Seeing her reaction, Xiao Wu chuckled and said, “Sister-in-law, I’ve been busy these past few days and forgot to tell you—Maomao went on a mission with the military dogs.”

Gu Yihan looked at him in surprise.

“On a mission?”

Thinking she might be worried, Xiao Wu quickly explained, “Maomao insisted on going. We couldn’t chase it away.”

“Don’t worry, sister-in-law. This mission is simple. There won’t be any danger.”

Gu Yihan didn’t ask further. Since Maomao liked it, she let it go. She couldn’t keep it cooped up at home forever.

After they finished talking, Lu Huailin took Gu Yihan’s hand and walked straight past Xiao Wu.

Watching them, Xiao Wu twitched his mouth.

This Commander Lu was hopeless—so devoted to his wife and neglectful of friends.

When they returned to the courtyard, they saw Leng Xiao sitting there, legs crossed, shaking casually.

Seeing them, he snorted.

“Heh, you two still remember to come back? Wasn’t the cafeteria food enough for you?”

Lu Huailin looked at his handsome, trouble-attracting face.

“You’re here so early. Something wrong?”

Leng Xiao glanced at Gu Yihan and curled his lips.

“Nothing with me. Commander Zhang asked me to pass on a message.”

“The ‘little hamster’ has gone with them. You two can go in and out of the family compound normally now.”

Gu Yihan’s eyes lit up.

“Then I can go back to work at the textile factory?”

Leaning against his chair, Leng Xiao replied slowly, “Of course you can.”

Overjoyed, Gu Yihan pulled Lu Huailin back to their bedroom, chattering nonstop.

Lu Huailin smiled softly, patiently listening to her share her happiness.

In the Cultural Troupe dormitory, Qi Yanran paced nervously back and forth. Just as she was about to sit down and rest—

“Creak.”

Hearing the door open, she looked up and saw two soldiers walking straight toward her.

They took out an investigation order and held it in front of her.

“Comrade Qi,” one of them said, “please come with us.”
