Chapter 1279: It Seems Being Low-Key All the Time Isn't Right Either

Fearing he would continue this topic, she quickly spoke up to urge, "Let's go to the kitchen together; any later and you'll be late for afternoon training."

Fu Yan Cheng rose briskly, helping her up: "Do you want rice or noodles?"

Liu Chuxue, worried about time, said, "Steam the rice; it'll be faster."

Fu Yan Cheng nodded: "Alright, I'll listen to my wife."

After they reached the kitchen, Fu Yan Cheng washed the rice and set it to steam, then took out the dried eggplant he had brought earlier to soak in warm water, and reached into a hanging basket to pull out a piece of cured pork: "I'll stir-fry the cured pork for you at noon; after afternoon training, I'll head to the canteen and ask their procurement vehicle to bring back some meat for us tomorrow morning."

Liu Chuxue spoke up: "As for meat, enough for one meal is fine; it won't keep in this heat. If there are eggs, bring a few back; later, I'll go to the village with Ruhua to see what ingredients we can trade for."

Fu Yan Cheng quickly spoke to stop her: "Wait until I return from training; I'll ride my bike and take you, so you don't trade too much and have trouble carrying it back."

Liu Chuxue knew Fu Yan Cheng was worried about her, but forbidding her from doing this and that felt a bit too exaggerated: "The Physician said my constitution is quite good; during pregnancy, I need appropriate exercise, which will benefit the delivery later."

"Besides, you know how strong I am; I won't trade too much at once. You really don't need to accompany me. If you insist on that, the aunts and grandmas in the family compound will drag me out to lecture me."

Hearing her say this, Fu Yan Cheng compromised: "Then promise me that if you buy too much, you won't carry it back yourself; I'll run over to fetch it then. Or, you can pay an extra delivery fee and have someone bring it back for you. Right now, your health comes first."

Not wanting Fu Yan Cheng to worry, she nodded and agreed.

After settling that matter, Fu Yan Cheng finally said, "I have news on the matter you asked me to investigate earlier."

Liu Chuxue's smile faded: "What's the situation with that person?"

Fu Yan Cheng didn't stop his hands: "That person indeed knows people from the gambling den; he had them set up the trap. Moreover, that person tried to block Dad this morning; just then, the Eldest Uncle passed by that way, saw the injury on Dad's face, and wanted to ask about it, so that person hurriedly left."

Liu Chuxue took a deep breath and said, "Next time I see Dad, I must tell him; we need to casually mention his relationship with the Eldest Uncle so he won't be bullied."

Hearing her words, Fu Yan Cheng said, "This morning, the Eldest Uncle and Dad talked for quite a while there. Dad doesn't need to spread it; it won't be long before it spreads on its own."

"It seems being low-key all the time isn't right either. If you have backing, you must use it. Not for anything else, but at least when they try to bully newcomers, they'll have to think twice. Dad mentioned that day that that person has been eyeing the Team Leader position for a long time; since Dad took it, that person wants to retaliate using despicable means."

Fu Yan Cheng continued, "I've had people watching them; once we clarify the situation, we'll take them all out in one sweep."

Liu Chuxue stood up and hugged Fu Yan Cheng from behind: "Thank you. Later, don't forget to treat the person who helped us to a good meal."

This was the first time his wife had hugged him like this; Fu Yan Cheng felt absolutely delighted: "Don't worry, I won't forget."

However, neither of them expected that the very next day would give them a huge shock.

As soon as Fu Yan Cheng arrived at the office, someone from the communications section ran over, panting: "Regiment Commander Fu, you have a phone call."

Fu Yan Cheng glanced at the office phone, even walked over to check the wiring, and after confirming it wasn't broken, asked, "Why wasn't it transferred over?"
