Chapter 162 So Envious!
Finally, Lu Beiting carried a deer into the army camp, attracting a lot of attention as soon as he entered.

"Battalion Commander, what is this?"

Lu Beiting put it down. "Lu, my wife asked me to bring this to everyone to help them recover."

Then Lu Beiting turned to Chen Yan and said, "Sister Chen, I'll trouble you to help the other aunties with this."

"deer!"

"My God, isn't this... this is wild game?"

"My God, I never thought I'd get to eat venison in my lifetime! I heard it can fetch a lot of money, and the battalion commander's wife gave it to us?"

A gasp of amazement rippled through the crowd.

The border guards all straightened their backs.

"Pshaw, what's the big deal? My sister-in-law treated us to wild boar meat before."

“Our sister-in-law is so kind. She always thinks of us when there’s something good to eat, and she even pays out of her own pocket to give us extra food. She doesn’t keep anything given to her by the villagers; she lets everyone share it.”

"That's it!"

Huo Chen's men all cast envious glances at him.

"Captain, why don't you find us a sister-in-law too?"

The soldiers near Huo Chen said enviously, "Xia Zhi treats the border guards like her own children. We want to do that too!"

"Go away, get out of here," Huo Chenfan said, shooing him away repeatedly.

The praise for Xia Zhi from the crowd grew louder and louder.

Upon hearing this, the people in the family compound couldn't be left out and also started praising Xia Zhi.

This drew envy from everyone.

In the crowd, Lu Weifeng and Wang Xiulan listened incredulously to what was being said about Xia Zhi. Was she really that amazing?
Seeing Lu Beiting preparing to go out to find Xia Zhi, Lu Weifeng pulled his wife up and quickly followed after him.

They were among the first to arrive at the unit. He had been looking for an opportunity to talk to them these past few days, but seeing how busy they were, he gave up on the idea.

Now I finally see that he has some free time.

"Beiting, wait!"

Hearing the voice behind him, Lu Beiting stopped and turned to look at Lu Weifeng.

"what happened?"

Lu Weifeng opened his mouth, "I, I, Bei Ting, do you really want to be so distant from us?"

Lu Beiting's expression was distant. "It's not a matter of being distant or not. You haven't been very good to me over the years, so let's just leave it at that."

Wang Xiulan looked at him with a pale face, "Beiting, I heard that Xia is pregnant and needs someone to take care of her. I... I can help. We were wrong in the past, and we know we were wrong."

Lu Beiting pursed his lips and looked at the pained expression on Wang Xiulan's face. His heart was not stirred at all. Ever since he could remember, he had always had a vague understanding of them. They were his parents, and he was filial to them. But that was all.

"No need, I will take good care of her. You just need to take care of yourselves."

Lu Beiting turned and took two steps, then remembered something and looked back at them. "By the way, I've applied to be transferred to Beijing. I'll continue to send you living expenses as usual. As for Yan An, I hope you'll respect her wishes, otherwise she might end up like me."

After Lu Beiting finished speaking, he didn't even bother to look at the expressions of the two people behind him. After Yan An spent some time with Xia Zhi in the army last time, he could roughly see some of her thoughts. She also wanted to go out and see the world, and she also wanted to become a person like Xia Zhi.

If I hadn't mustered up the courage to join the army, I'm afraid I would have continued to follow the Lu family's arrangements.

Lu Weifeng and Wang Xiulan are selfish; some deeply ingrained ideas cannot be changed.

Wang Xiulan looked at Lu Beiting and threw herself into Lu Weifeng's arms, crying.

Lu Weifeng's face was blank, then he gave a bitter smile.

When Lu Beiting came out and saw Xia Zhi, he felt less depressed. He walked over and quietly pulled her into his arms, leaning wearily on her shoulder and letting out a soft sigh.

Xia Zhi sensed his bad mood and asked softly, "What's wrong?" "Nothing, I just missed you." Lu Beiting let go of her and sat down.

Xia Zhi looked at him, then looked up and saw the Lu family couple at the entrance of the military base, and guessed what was going on.

She wiped the oil off her hands, reached out and hugged him, comforting him, "It's okay, it's okay, you still have me and the baby."

"Mmm." Lu Beiting didn't dare to hug too tightly. After hugging for a while, he felt less depressed. He had done what he needed to say and do.

After comforting Lu Beiting, Xia Zhi brought the rabbit meat to him and said, "Try it, I roasted it, it's delicious."

Lu Beiting took a bite; it was very fragrant, even more fragrant than he had expected.

"My wife's baking is always the best."

Xia Zhi smiled. "But there's more."

……

The heavy rain finally stopped after three days. When the villagers returned home, they found their houses dilapidated and their fields flooded. They couldn't help but cry.

"Don't be afraid, folks. We'll help you repair and rebuild your houses. There's nothing we can't overcome."

After Zhang Yi finished speaking, the people behind him began to move.

Lu Beiting led the rest of the men on patrol.

That day, as he looked at the letter in his hand, his face darkened.

This was something Zhang Yi had been tasked with investigating. The reason Li Baozhu was able to get through was because there was a traitor among them who not only failed to report it but also caused the death of the soldiers that day.

Lu Beiting gripped the letter tightly in his hand. This kind of person deserved to be torn to pieces.

Lu Beiting looked at the names on the list and they seemed familiar. If he remembered correctly, they were the two people who survived that day.

Lu Beiting sat down, propping his head up with his hand. This kind of person should not be allowed to live.

He got up and went directly to Li Jianguo's office.

"report!"

"Enter!"

Li Jianguo looked at Lu Beiting as he entered with a sense of relief. "Beiting, what's wrong?"

Lu Beiting closed the door.

Seeing his actions, Li Jianguo's face also became more serious.

"Sir, there's something fishy about Li Baozhu's attempt to break through the checkpoint last time. There's a traitor among our people."

As Lu Beiting spoke, he took out the evidence in his hand to show him.

After reading it, Li Jianguo slammed his fist on the table in anger, shouting, "Beast! How can he be a soldier!"

Lu Beiting inquired about the current situation of the two people.

"Sir, Li Baozhu will come back. These two cannot be allowed to live."

Speaking of Li Baozhu, Lu Beiting felt a bit more worried. Li Baozhu held a grudge against Xia Xia, and if she really came back, she would probably take revenge.

“That’s for sure. By the way, Beiting, take a look at this.” Li Jianguo took out a document from the drawer and showed it to him.

Lu Beiting looked at the name on the file, hatred welling up in his eyes.

Chen Xinghan, fifty years old, was the leader of that group. He started as a small vendor in the area, but after tasting success, he gathered people from the village to set up a hideout. Later, the group grew larger and larger, and in the end, he was forced to flee to the Myanmar border.

In the end, he became extremely successful there, dominating the market.

But Chen Xinghan has not appeared since then, and they are helpless about it.

“Chen Xinghan might show up.” Li Jianguo’s eyes were also filled with hatred. If he dared to cross the line, he would fight to the death to make him pay for his crime in blood!
