Chapter 800

A look of horror appeared on Xiao Huang's face, and he stared at Qin Hengzhi in disbelief.

Who exactly is investigating whom?

Who exactly is interrogating whom?

Why does Regiment Commander Qin know so thoroughly about those old, stale matters from his past?

Except for the team leader and deputy team leader, the other team members felt the temperature in the office drop suddenly, as if it were still a warm spring just a moment ago, and instantly entered the dead of winter.

But this was actually just an illusion of these few newcomers; the two leaders remained calm and composed, their expressions normal. This meant that these two leaders not only knew why Qin Hengzhi was so well-versed in these matters, but it also indirectly confirmed that Qin Hengzhi was fully qualified to possess this information.

Only Xiao Huang lacked this confidence, because Qin Hengzhi only wanted to teach him a lesson at this moment.

That distant memory was suddenly activated. At that time, he was still an apprentice at the biscuit factory, relying on his own quick wit, thinking he would succeed 100%, and even patted his chest to guarantee it to the master craftsman. But who could have imagined that the recipe ratio went wrong, and two bags of flour, along with so much oil and eggs, were all wasted, and in the end, they could only be treated as defective products. And he was the one criticized at a big meeting...

Qin Hengzhi's voice sounded at the right time, calm and gentle: "Of course, these are all old stories, not worth mentioning. Work is just a process of going from unfamiliar to familiar; this is the necessary path for everyone's growth. You worked at the biscuit factory for a year, and by the time you left, you still hadn't learned how to proportion the raw materials, but another temporary worker who joined the factory at the same time as you is now a technical backbone of the biscuit factory."

He paused, his gaze landing on Xiao Huang: "Of course, Comrade Xiao Huang, your later development was much better than his. Let's set aside identity and background; can we understand it this way... you really have no talent for making biscuits, but that doesn't mean you have achieved nothing. When one door closes, another opens. You are doing an excellent job in your current work, for example... your understanding and definition of my wife."

"I..." Xiao Huang felt cold sweat running down his back, almost jumping out of his chair.

He hurriedly waved his hands and stammered to Qin Hengzhi: "Regiment Commander Qin, please don't say that! I was just stating the situation I understood; I absolutely have no intention of 'defining' Comrade Lu Qiao! What qualifications do I have to define her? No matter what her status is, it's not for me to judge recklessly!"

Qin Hengzhi raised an eyebrow. Xiao Huang thought it was over, but he didn't expect Qin Hengzhi's tone to remain gentle while throwing out even more shocking news: "Coincidentally, I also know a few embarrassing things from your youth. For example, when your father tested you on the multiplication table, asking you what three times six is, you answered immediately. Then your father asked you what six times three is, fully expecting you to blurt it out too, but you got stuck on the spot, standing there like a wooden chicken, completely unaware of what six times three is."

"Hahahaha!" The team leader couldn't help but slap the table and laugh.

Although everyone was surprised at how Qin Hengzhi knew such details, they all knew that this "human expert" never fought an unprepared battle. Since he dared to say it in front of everyone, he must have absolute certainty, and there was no need to worry about being countered.

With the team leader's laughter, Xiao Huang finally came back to his senses. His face was flushed red, and he hurriedly apologized to Qin Hengzhi: "Regiment Commander Qin, everyone has times when they are young, ignorant, and foolish. People are constantly changing; at ten, twenty, thirty, or even fifty, who dares to say they are unchanging? My words just now were indeed thoughtless; I retract them, I retract them! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Qin Hengzhi accepted his apology magnanimously.

This conversation, which was originally tense, came to an end.

In the end, this was just a routine matter. For someone like Qin Hengzhi who can withstand thousands of trials, what could you possibly investigate?

If even he cannot be trusted, then there are probably few trustworthy people left in this world.

Xiao Cangcang was unaware of the confrontation on Qin Hengzhi's side because it had been guarding Lu Qiao without leaving her side for a moment.

But the two guys, Mouse Da and Mouse Er, had secretly slipped over.

To them, the underground was a hundred times safer than the ground or even the air.

Relying on their special abilities, they moved through the underground world as if it were uninhabited; that was their kingdom.

Thus, the ins and outs of this conversation were soon relayed to Lu Qiao by them.

Listening to Xiao Cangcang's report, Lu Qiao's mind conjured up the comrade named Xiao Huang, and his line, "Three times six is eighteen, then what about six times three? Ah ah ah, I don't know..."

Thinking of this, Lu Qiao couldn't help but smile, her eyes curving.

She walked forward, and the distance between the two instantly closed.

The moment their skin touched, a warm current like an electric shock surged through her whole body, making the two hearts in love drift uncontrollably at this moment.

It was an indescribable beauty.

Qin Hengzhi wrapped Lu Qiao's two small hands tightly in his broad palms and asked gently, "Have you packed everything?"

"Packed," Lu Qiao nodded.

"Then we will take the special train tonight and arrive in Jiangcheng tomorrow morning."

After Qin Hengzhi finished speaking, he naturally took Lu Qiao's hand: "Let's go, I'll take you to the restaurant for a meal."

The two walked slowly side by side.

It was winter break, and although the campus was less lively, there were still many students coming and going.

Many passing gazes couldn't help but be cast toward them.

When Lu Qiao walked alone, the head-turning rate was not low, but when walking with Qin Hengzhi, the attention received simply doubled several times over.

Qin Hengzhi wasn't wearing a down jacket; he had rushed over directly from the base, wearing a wool coat that matched his current rank.

Although it was not as majestic as a military officer's wool coat, the color was deep, the fabric was crisp, and the collar design was restrained. Worn on his tall and straight figure, he was so handsome that people couldn't take their eyes off him, naturally becoming the focus of the crowd.

At the same time, at the window on the second floor of a building opposite, a man with a slender figure was standing by the railing. He was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, his expression originally indifferent, but the moment he saw Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiao, that lazy posture gradually tightened.

Standing next to this person was none other than Principal Ge. They were currently in the research institute's reception room.

Principal Ge looked out the window following the man's gaze and recognized Regiment Commander Qin and Lu Qiao walking on the sidewalk at a glance.

Immediately after, he heard the person standing beside him—the leader of the key scientific research project with a special status and complex background, Lou Zhe—ask: "Principal Ge, doesn't your school have explicit regulations? University students are strictly forbidden from dating and strictly forbidden from marrying, right?"

Principal Ge glanced at Lou Zhe and explained patiently: "Comrade Lou Zhe, you've misunderstood. The female student beside Regiment Commander Qin is his wife, whom he has been married to for over a year. These two are preparing to go out for a meal, and they will likely return to Jiangcheng later."

Lou Zhe's brows furrowed imperceptibly.

That beautiful girl, who at first glance was exactly his type, was actually already married?

And the one she married happened to be Qin Hengzhi, the one he disliked the most?

This really made one somewhat unhappy.
