Chapter 855: That Fellow Villager Didn't Say Why He Was Surrounded and Beaten

Liu Chuxue heard this, her face full of smiles: "So you'll soon become my cousin's wife."

Duan Ruirui looked left and right, then reached up and pushed Liu Chuxue: "Enough, stop teasing me. Are you free tonight or not?"

Liu Chuxue quickly raised her hands: "Yes, yes, yes. For your matters, no matter how busy I am, I'll make time to accompany you."

But thinking of something, she said with a worried expression: "Why the rush?"

The smile on Duan Ruirui's face immediately vanished: "Those people at home know I have a boyfriend, yet they still want to marry me off to a divorced man. No need to guess; there must be something fishy here. Your cousin and I thought it best to move the wedding forward as soon as possible, to avoid trouble arising from delay."

Liu Chuxue thought it made sense: "Looks like you'll be ahead of me."

Duan Ruirui adjusted quickly: "If your age weren't too young, your Fu Yan Cheng would have already dragged you to register the marriage."

Liu Chuxue laughed, shamelessly saying: "Of course, who wouldn't love me?"

What the two didn't know was that while they were joking, someone was flipping through a wall calendar, muttering to himself: "These days pass so slowly."

His words were overheard by Deputy Battalion Commander Shen, who lived with him: "What are you lamenting about again?"

Fu Yan Cheng flopped onto the bed: "Why do these days pass so slowly?"

Deputy Battalion Commander Shen shook his head and laughed: "Do you want leave again to see your fiancée?"

Fu Yan Cheng didn't deny it, but tilted his head toward Deputy Battalion Commander Shen, who was soaking his feet: "Your wife is coming to join the army soon. Have you applied for the family quarters?"

Deputy Battalion Commander Shen wiped his feet while replying: "I submitted the application a few days ago, but my wife wants to live in an apartment building, so it'll probably take a while longer."

As the two were chatting, they heard chaotic footsteps outside. Before they could stand, the door was pushed open: "Yan Cheng, Kaiyuan, it's bad."

Seeing the newcomer, both spoke in unison: "What happened?"

While speaking, they both stood up.

Deputy Regiment Commander Gong, leaning on the doorframe and gasping for breath, said: "That kid Su Haiqing has been surrounded and beaten."

"What?"

"Where is he now?"

Deputy Regiment Commander Gong finally caught his breath: "At Baifu Village. Don't spread this news yet. You two get ready quickly; we'll go together to check."

The three went downstairs and saw a vehicle already parked below.

Deputy Regiment Commander Gong headed for the car first: "We'll talk in the car."

As soon as the three got in, the car shot out like an arrow loosed from a bow.

Deputy Battalion Commander Shen spoke first: "Deputy Regiment Commander, what exactly happened? How did he get surrounded and beaten?"

Upon hearing "Baifu Village," Fu Yan Cheng had already guessed, but he didn't speak first, wanting to hear what Deputy Regiment Commander Gong would say.

Deputy Regiment Commander Gong's face looked very grim: "That kid was on leave today and left the unit early. I gave him a ride when I left the unit this morning. Just now, I was returning from handling matters in the city when I met a fellow villager on the road. Seeing it was a military vehicle, he stopped it directly, saying a Company Commander surnamed Su from the unit was being surrounded and beaten in the village. Though he hasn't suffered much, he can't leave for the time being. From his description, I immediately thought it was him."

"When I returned just now, I checked, and that kid indeed hasn't reported back to the unit yet."

Fu Yan Cheng spoke up then: "Didn't that fellow villager say why he was surrounded and beaten?"

Deputy Regiment Commander Gong's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "He only said his girlfriend's former fiancé went to the girl's home to cause trouble, and he was surrounded and beaten while protecting that Miss."

The unit wasn't far from Baifu Village, and they soon entered the village.
