How could He Niancheng not understand what that situation was?
He looked at the gang of people who rushed in, but his brows did not even twitch.
He calmly placed his chess piece down and took a piece from his opponent.
“You caused this?”
That indifferent tone could send goosebumps down the spines of people.
Gu Qingjiu shrunk a little. Even when she saw the people behind her rushing in, she still did not dare to act rashly. But she leaned a little towards He Niancheng, and she admitted, “I guess so.”
After all, she was with Yu Bao’er.
After she had said that, she saw the old man smile brightly at her.
He was almost bald and his beard was already grey, but his kind features gave him a feeling of an amicable elderly.
Like an elderly full of mysterious wisdom.
Gu Qingjiu nodded to the old man and flashed him a smile.
The people who rushed in at her were behaving weirdly.
They were initially aggressive as they chased her down, but now it slowly diminished to almost nothing.
The uniform He Niancheng wore was too eye-catching.
At a place like this, soldiers were the law enforcers.
The village also stated that it was a military zone. Hence, gangsters like them wouldn’t dare to anger the soldiers.
Especially the man who stood in front of them with an unusual presence—he was definitely not a simple person.
The gangsters who rushed in didn’t even dare to swear.
The situation turned a little awkward after their eyes met.
What were they supposed to do now?
Stand there like an idiot?
The man Yu Bao’er handled down felt grieved. He did not expect Gu Qingjiu to find a soldier.
But for him to let Gu Qingjiu off?
Where would his pride go then?
Even if he didn’t want to let her off, she had a soldier protecting her.
Seeing how his own lackey had shrunk down, the leader of the gang gritted his teeth as he said, “Bro, you’re from the army right? I have a pal in the army as well, so we’re all friends. The woman beside you beat up our men so we should get an explanation, right?”
He tried to act friendly.
Gu Qingjiu couldn’t take those blatant lies from him any longer.
She did not face the gangsters and instead looked straight at He Niancheng as she explained herself. “Chief Instructor, please do not believe their words! That man scolded us first, we only did it to defend ourselves!”
She was not going to give up Yu Bao’er’s name yet.
Because of the incident earlier, Gu Qingjiu was afraid of the consequences if Yu Bao’er got another mark on her.
But He Niancheng was observant.
“Us?”
Gu Qingjiu thought for a while before she coughed lightly. “Yes, sir. I have a friend, and she’s currently with Commander Huo.”
He Niancheng’s eyes narrowed and his lips curled up into a cold smile. “You should find Commander Huo instead of me then. In the third section of the military act, the ninth line forbids soldiers from getting into fights outside of the camp. Withholding the fact that you fought, you dare to ask me to help you?”
That angelic light seemed to have dulled a little.
Gu Qingjiu felt a little helpless. She lowered her gaze in a posture that spoke of her apology. “Chief Instructor, I’m sorry that I can’t win them. If I could, I wouldn’t have asked for your help.”
He Niancheng was speechless.
That statement caused the old man to roar with laughter.
“Interesting. How interesting!”
He clapped as he commented. With an affable look on his face, he asked, “One of yours?”
He Niancheng let out a low scoff as if Gu Qingjiu was an embarrassment to him. “Good for nothing.”
At that point, who cared about what he said? With her gaze down, Gu Qingjiu admitted, “Yes, Chief Instructor. What you said is true.”
This scene seemed a little familiar.
As if it had happened before.
