Chapter 1566: A Few Acquaintances

After instructing Auntie Wei, Liu Chuxue slung a shoulder bag over her back and stepped out: "Deputy Company Commander Shen, I need to return to the city. It's so late that there are likely no buses left; could you please help me find a way?"

Shen Kaiyuan looked somewhat troubled: "Sister-in-law, going back won't help; there are still three children at home. Maybe..."

Before he could finish, Liu Chuxue cut him off: "I understand your point, but I have a compelling reason to return. Please help me find a vehicle."

Seeing her determination to go back to the city, Shen Kaiyuan didn't press further: "Very well, I'll go with you."

Wei Wenbin, who had been doing homework inside, came out then: "Auntie, go ahead and attend to your business; I will help Grandma take care of the younger siblings."

Liu Chuxue was deeply moved and patted her shoulder: "Good, thank you."

Having said that, she waved to Mo Ruhua: "Ruhua, I'm leaving first."

Mo Ruhua knew Liu Chuxue was close to her sister-in-law, but she hadn't expected Liu Chuxue to leave the children behind and rush back to the city overnight, and couldn't help feeling envious of this sister-in-law and sister-in-law friendship.

Originally, Shen Kaiyuan intended to take her to the regiment headquarters to borrow a vehicle, but their luck was quite good; as soon as they reached the army gate, they saw a jeep driving out from inside.

Before Shen Kaiyuan could act, Liu Chuxue sprang forward and blocked the exiting vehicle.

After the car stopped, Liu Chuxue hurried up: "Comrade, is this vehicle heading back to the city? Could you give me a ride?"

Remembering something, she quickly added: "I am a military family member; please do me this favor."

At that moment, Shen Kaiyuan also approached and spoke to those inside the car: "Commander, if it's on your way, please trouble you to give her a ride."

Lu Weijun, sitting in the back, didn't expect to actually see her; before anyone outside could speak again, he said: "Get in."

Hearing the person inside agree, Liu Chuxue saw only the back seat was empty, opened the door, and sat down: "Deputy Company Commander Shen, thank you for running this errand with me."

"Sister-in-law, it's very late; be safe when you arrive in the city."

Had he not heard Fu Yan Cheng mention earlier that his wife was skilled in martial arts, he wouldn't have felt comfortable letting her return to the city alone, especially since he knew the people in the car.

As soon as he finished speaking, the car slid forward.

Liu Chuxue turned and saw Lu Weijun: "It's you?"

Seeing that she recognized him, the corners of Lu Weijun's mouth curled slightly: "Yes, it is me."

Liu Chuxue truly didn't expect this person to have joined the army; could it be because of what she had said back then?

The person in the front passenger seat turned around: "Do you know each other?"

Lu Weijun coughed lightly: "We've met a few times."

Hearing this, the person in front became interested and turned to look at Liu Chuxue: "You are a military family member; who is your husband?"

Liu Chuxue didn't think there was anything unsayable about this: "My man is Fu Yan Cheng of the First Regiment."

Hearing Liu Chuxue's words, that person asked: "Fu Yan Cheng, Deputy Regiment Commander Fu?"

Liu Chuxue nodded: "Yes."

That person laughed: "Sister-in-law, my name is Hu Wenming.

I've executed several missions with Deputy Regiment Commander Fu; we are old acquaintances. I never expected to meet the sister-in-law while coming here to handle business today."

Liu Chuxue nodded to him: "Hello."

Lu Weijun noticed Liu Chuxue was distracted while answering: "Returning to the city this late, has something happened?"

Liu Chuxue didn't specify, simply saying: "My sister-in-law was injured; I'm a bit worried and want to go check on her condition."

Hearing this, Lu Weijun's mood became complex, and he felt an inexplicable discomfort in his heart.

Nevertheless, he asked: "Where do you need to go? We'll take you there."
