After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 494 Encountering Qin Beichuan upon leaving home, instantly feeling inferior.

A voice came from inside the private room: "Li Zhi, could you see Han Ying and her companion off?"

Li Zhi paused again as she was about to enter. "Miss Jiang, please."

On my way out, I happened to bump into the end of a resource exchange meeting.

Seeing that it was Li Zhi, who often accompanied Mr. Yuan, personally leading the way, many people who were walking out of the venue looked up.

Qin Che was obediently following behind his uncle as they walked out when he turned his head and saw Lan Qiao, who was also with her parents. He waved to her, "Xiao Qiao!"

Lan Qiao frowned and looked at him. "What are you doing?"

"We've been talking about work all night. Aren't you bored? Why don't you stay and try out the other attractions at Lan Palace? I've heard the entertainment here is just as good as in Hai City."

Lan Qiao narrowed her eyes immediately.

She didn't know this guy well enough. She was probably afraid that if she directly said she wanted to stay and play, she would most likely get slapped by Uncle Qin. But if she dragged her along, Uncle Qin might agree.

Just as he was about to shake his head in refusal, "Watch out!"

Although the reminder was timely, it was still too late.

Qin Xiaoshu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. Qin Che was still turning his head to wait for Lan Qiao's response when he bumped into his uncle's back.

My uncle remained perfectly still despite being bumped, while he himself stumbled back two steps, nearly bumping into the person walking behind him.

I broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

Just as he was about to be met with his uncle's cold gaze, he looked up and saw that his uncle hadn't turned around to look at him at all. Instead, he was looking at the suspended corridor about a meter high on his left, just like everyone else around him.

He quickly looked over and immediately caught sight of a familiar profile, exclaiming instinctively, "Jiang Hanying!"

Lan Qiao's ears twitched, and following his gaze, her face lit up with joy. "It really is Han Ying, but why is she here?"

"Who cares how she got here? Since we've run into her, let's go say hello."

Lan Qiao nodded readily and was about to tell her parents who were walking ahead.

Then Qin Che called out from the side, "Uncle?"

She turned her head and saw that Uncle Qin completely ignored Qin Che, who had bumped into her back, and strode towards the suspended corridor.

"Team leader..." Qin Beichuan said, glancing at the person walking with the team leader. He paused for a moment, then changed his address, "Brother Xiao, you're here too."

Qin Che and Lan Qiao, who had just hurriedly caught up, stopped in their tracks upon hearing the sound.

They exchanged a glance before continuing to follow.

Li Chengxiao looked at Qin Beichuan's face, which was full of surprise. He didn't expect that his brother would hit the nail on the head even as he was about to leave.

He nodded and gave a soft "hmm": "I've come to take care of something."

Qin Beichuan nodded in understanding, then realized he had been a bit impulsive by coming so suddenly, "Then I didn't..."

"No, I've already finished and am about to go back."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Qin Che was looking at his uncle, who seemed like a completely different person in front of Instructor Li, with a complicated expression, when he suddenly met his uncle's eyes as he turned around. His expression changed incredibly quickly, "Why did you come here too?"

Qin Che: "...Xiao Qiao and I just came to say hello to our friends."

You can't just let the magistrate set fires while forbidding the common people from even lighting lamps.

Lan Qiao nodded quickly and waved to Jiang Hanying, "Hanying, it's been a long time."

Jiang Hanying raised her hand in response, "Qiao Qiao."

Seeing this, Li Zhi suggested, "How about I arrange a private room for you all so you can sit down and catch up?"

Qin Beichuan was somewhat tempted, but he first looked towards Li Chengxiao.

"No need, it's a bit late today."

Qin Beichuan nodded without any objection. "Brother Xiao, are you still in Queshan tomorrow? Let's have a meal together?"

This time, Li Chengxiao didn't refuse and simply replied, "Okay."

The group gathered together and headed outside.

"Brother Xiao, this is my good-for-nothing nephew, Qin Che. Greet him."

Under Lan Qiao's suppressed laughter, Qin Che said, "Instructor Li."

"Instructor Li? What's with that? Brother Xiao, you trained Qin Che? When was that? I didn't know that."

Qin Che: "..." I want to cry!

How could he not know that his uncle could talk so much and ask so many questions except when he was scolding him!

If you say a few more words, all his secrets will be exposed!
Li Chengxiao: "I ran into you once before in the capital."

Qin Che nodded hurriedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

"You're pretty lucky, kid. But how dare you call Instructor Li 'Instructor'?"

Qin Che had no choice but to explain, "Instructor Li was on a variety show before, and that's what everyone calls him."

What variety show?

Qin Che: "...Absolute Experience".

Qin Beichuan wrote down these four words, intending to take a look when he got back.

Qin Che guessed his uncle's plan at a glance, which made him even more determined not to go back tonight.

He's even been on a TV show, though not the one about recruit training, and his face was blurred out.

But for my uncle, whether the image is censored or not makes no difference.

After exchanging pleasantries with Li Chengxiao, Qin Beichuan greeted Li Jingmo, saying, "Brother Jingmo."

Li Jingmo nodded to him, "I guessed you might come too when I came over, I didn't expect to actually run into you."

"Brother Jingmo, your body..."

"It's nothing, it's just some spilled tea."

Jiang Hanying was having her hand held by Lan Qiao as they reminisced when she heard this and turned to look at Li Jingmo.

I hadn't noticed it before, but upon closer inspection, I did find several yellowish marks that weren't dry yet.

When she looked away, she met Qin Beichuan's eyes.

"Hello, Qin Beichuan."

"Jiang Hanying".

Qin Beichuan wasn't the type to greet strangers he'd never met before, but seeing that this Miss Jiang and Brother Xiao were practically arm in arm, almost holding hands, and acting so naturally... he had a guess in his mind.

Although she was still a little incredulous, she couldn't help but whisper, "This is... my sister-in-law?"

"Ah."

Qin Che almost choked on his own saliva.

I've finally experienced what it feels like when someone you used to like suddenly becomes a generation above you!

Lan Qiao was equally shocked, her mouth agape in an "O" shape. "Han Ying, you and Instructor Li..."

Jiang Hanying nodded quite readily: "Yes, it's mine!"

Lan Qiao silently gave a thumbs up, "Awesome!"

Wait, does that mean she's also a generation younger?
Well, let's each talk our own way. I don't think Hanying will mind.

Li Zhi, who had been quietly leading the way, couldn't help but glance at Jiang Hanying as she turned around, and then looked at Li Chengxiao beside her.

Although she had seen the two of them together on the big screen and in a private room before, and already had a guess in her mind, she was still quite surprised that the two of them could so decisively admit their relationship to their friends.

What about the concessions the Lord made for Jiang Hanying?

Back in the quiet private room.

Zhu Huai, carrying the suitcase that Jiang Hanying had finally 'forgotten,' was preparing to leave quietly and obediently.

"Leave the box."

"Ah, yes."

Not daring to ask anything, Zhu Huai put the box down, bowed, and turned to leave.

Yuan Qingzhuo glanced at the box, which originally required a password but opened automatically.

He took out the well-preserved blood sample, then picked up a teacup with a few drops of tea left, poured a full cup into it, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Crack!"

Zhu Huai had already stepped out the door when he heard the sound of something breaking and couldn't help but look back. He saw the teacup that had broken in the boss's hand, with shards falling off, and a trace of bright red left at the corner of his mouth.

My heart almost stopped beating.
