Can’t Take My Eyes Off You

The chief still showed concern for Jiang Yao even though he knew she was fine.

“Yes, she’s alright,” Lu Xingzhi replied faintly. “I’ll go home and pack some things. Remember to inform me when Colonel Ye and his family come back.”

Lu Xingzhi was worried about Jiang Yao in the hospital. It would be a waste of time for him to stay on the base. The chief did not need anything from him at that moment.

Zhou Junmin eagerly followed Lu Xingzhi after noticing that he was leaving.

“A cannon must have damaged Colonel Ye’s brain. Maybe he thinks he won’t be demoted even if he were transferred to another base, especially with his current rank,” Zhou Junmin said as his feet crunched on the dried leaves on the ground. “He’s too naive to think that.”

While Lu Xingzhi remained silent, his lips were pursed in mockery, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Zhou Junmin did not need to ask about the target of that mockery.

It was almost fivo hours later when Lu Xingzhi received news about Colonel Ye and his family’s return to the base. Many people were already having lunch when that happened.

Colonel Ye’s family was summoned to the chiefs office before they had time to return home. Lu Xingzhi put the things he had packed for Jiang Yao into the car, and then he went to the chief’s office.

There were no other people in the office—only the chief and Colonel Ye were there; even Colonel Ye’s wife was not there.

The little chubby kid might not have been scared after his wrongdoing the previous day. However, his courage had diminished after the little incident in the morning.

The little kid immediately hid behind his father when he saw Lu Xingzhi walk in from the door.

Lu Xingzhi felt disgusted when he saw the child’s fat face. He did not hide his expression when he walked into the room. He stood beside Colonel Ye with a darkened expression. He said, “Colonel Ye, I must admit that you are quite Impressive.”

Without waiting for Colonel Ye to explain, he scoffed, “First, you taught your daughter to do everything possible to damage our reputation. Then, your son almost killed two people. No one else in that world is as powerful as your family.

“I thought we had seen enough of you and your family yesterday, Colonel Lu. I didn’t expect you to prove me wrong today. My wife had just recovered, but you and your family decided it was a good idea to provoke her in the hospital. You even made her faint from anger. Well done, Colonel Ye.” Lu Xingzhi’s voice was cold. It was as cold as the winter breeze.

It seemed like he was complimenting Colonel Ye, but his tone was sarcastic.

“Do you honestly believe that the situation will be resolved if my wife says she forgives you, Colonel Ye?”

Lu Xingzhi looked at Colonel Ye, who was standing beside him, clenching his fists and enduring patiently. He was too lazy to waste more of his breath on the man. “I have something to ask your son.”

“Dad, I want to go home.”

The little chubby kid immediately cried out in fear when he saw Lu Xingzhi glance at him. “Dad, I want to go home. I don’t want to stay here.”

Then, the kid wanted to run out of the room, but Zhou Junmin, who was outside the door, stopped him.

“My son did push her. What else do you want to ask?” Colonel Ye was puzzled. Many people had seen that with their own eyes. He knew that there was no use in denying it..
