Qin Yunzhou grew increasingly worried as he spoke, his brows furrowing involuntarily. He feared that one day his mother-in-law might be caught committing a crime of indecent assault, and he would be unable to get her out of the situation.

"And then there's Chief Hong. He's not someone Mom can mess with. Chief Hong previously said that he wouldn't remarry, and that anyone trying to set him up with a partner should give up on that idea."

"Why don't you find a chance to ask Mom? If she really wants to find a partner, we can introduce her to someone suitable."

Although his mother-in-law was already that age, she still looked beautiful and young, but Chief Hong was not the kind of man who valued beauty.

Xu Sui: "..."

It's really worrying. The two of them haven't even started dating yet, and Qin Yunzhou is already worrying about them so much.

No wonder he sometimes sneaks out to smoke in the middle of the night when he's under a lot of pressure; that's how he worries about things.

"It's not what you think." Xu Sui reached out and nudged Qin Yunzhou, unable to resist glaring at him.

"It was Chief Honghuang who sent people to inquire about Mom first, not Mom who took the initiative."

"I heard from my mom that they met once or twice when they were young, but they weren't close. They hadn't been in touch for many years until a few days ago when my mom came to visit us, and they unexpectedly met again."

"What?" Qin Yunzhou was stunned.

Hearing this, he still found it hard to believe.

"Did Mom and Chief Hong know each other when they were young? Or did Chief Hong inquire about Mom first?"

How is that possible?

The two were not from the same place at all, and so many years had passed. Even if they had met once or twice when they were young, they should have forgotten each other long ago.

Xu Sui didn't quite believe it at first, but that's the truth.

"Well, that's not all. Chief Hong also sent his bodyguard to pick up Mom, but the bodyguard got the wrong person and mistook the old lady for Mom."

"They've completely baffled the old lady."

Qin Yunzhou: "..."

For some reason, he's even more worried now.

Logically speaking, if his mother-in-law could get together with Chief Hong, it would only be beneficial to him, not harmful.

But compared to these benefits, he was more worried about his mother-in-law's situation.

"Do you think... Mom and Chief Hong are a good match?" Qin Yunzhou was silent for a moment before finally asking the question.

If the man his mother-in-law is just an ordinary person, then it's fine. But if something really happens, he can help out and handle it.

However, Chief Hong is the top leader of their unit. Although his position as deputy political commissar at the division level is not low in the army, compared with Chief Hong, the commander, he is no different from those soldiers.

Commander Hong is not the kind of man who would turn a blind eye to something.

He's someone who's been on the battlefield, fought his way through countless battles, and climbed to his current high position. How could he possibly be as kind and harmless as he appears?

If he discovers his mother-in-law's tendency to have multiple relationships after they get together, who knows what might happen?

Xu Sui thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I've only met Chief Hong once or twice. I haven't had any in-depth contact with him, and I don't know him very well, so I can't make a judgment."

"Whether it's suitable or not depends on their own relationship, as long as the other person is of good character. After all, they are the ones dating, not us. As the younger generation, it's not appropriate for us to interfere in the affairs of our elders."

She doesn't object to her mother remarrying, but she hopes that the person her mother marries will treat her mother well and have good character.

Xu Sui trusted her mother, Wang Yinhua, quite a bit about this; her mother's judgment in choosing men was never wrong.

Qin Yunzhou pondered for a moment, then asked, "So, Mom has the same idea?"

"If she really means it, then I'll find an opportunity to find out more about Chief Hong."

He didn't know much about Chief Hong either. What he just said was all from what others had told him, and he hadn't verified it himself. He didn't know if there were any other issues involved.

Xu Sui leaned against Qin Yunzhou's chest and hummed in agreement. "Find out more details, especially about Chief Hong's family situation and his temperament in private."

She was somewhat skeptical of her mother's and Chief Hong's situation, and was also a little worried.

The two had met once or twice when they were young, and now decades have passed. Even if they had any lingering feelings back then, they should have long since faded away.

"Yes, I'll inquire about it tomorrow." Qin Yunzhou felt heavy-hearted; he still couldn't put his mind at ease.

But he didn't show it, and instead comforted Xu Sui in his arms.

"Don't worry too much, I'll take care of everything."

"Go to bed early, we're moving tomorrow morning, and Grandma's coming the day after tomorrow."

"Mmm." Xu Sui yawned, tears welling up in her eyes. She was actually quite sleepy. Hearing Qin Yunzhou's words, she rolled over and snuggled into his arms. Before long, she drifted off to sleep.

She was sleeping soundly, but Qin Yunzhou couldn't fall asleep at all.

This matter kept getting on my mind: how to find out about it, and who to ask.

They are cracking down hard on misconduct and hooliganism these days.

Therefore, the fewer people who know about this, the better.

People of Chief Hong's rank are generally not in contact with the officers here, let alone know what he is like in private.

It seems I need to make a call to Beijing.

Although Qin Yunzhou has been stationed in this military region for many years, he has always maintained his relationship with Beijing.

In fact, his good brothers who grew up together in the military compound were all well-known second-generation military personnel and second-generation reds. Most of them went to various military units and regions after they grew up.

Many people stayed in Beijing, and some of them, due to family connections, were quite familiar with Chief Hong's personal situation.

However, no matter how well this relationship is maintained, after so many years of separation, things have changed somewhat, and it's not as close as it was when we were children. It's now more about exchanging benefits.

It's not just because we haven't seen each other for so many years; it's also possible that we've grown up, started our own families, and formed our own social circles. Gradually, we've become more mature in our thinking.

Qin Yunzhou tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He racked his brains, finally finding a friend he could consider reliable.
