Staff Officer Lin found Qin Yuanzheng having a meeting with the engineers at the construction site.

Qin Yuanzheng was actually somewhat absent-minded, glancing towards the station every now and then.

Although they were on a construction site and couldn't see anything at the time.

The engineers and designers around him were comparing the blueprints and having a heated discussion. Qin Yuanzheng stood to the side, took out a cigarette, lit it, and stood there silently smoking.

When Staff Officer Lin saw this living devil from afar, he was absolutely furious.

Their commander really should find someone and get married soon, then take a honeymoon and go back to his hometown for ten days or half a month. That way, his subordinates can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

They're as energetic as oxen every day, and all they do is torture these soldiers!

Qin Yuanzheng was extremely irritated. As soon as he saw Staff Officer Lin, he frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

Staff Officer Lin walked over and said in a low voice, "Regimental Commander, it's like this, Xiao Yang just came back and said he wants to take Comrade Xiao Qiao to the train station. Her train is at ten o'clock. He asked if you want to go and see her off."

Qin Yuanzheng's heart skipped a beat. He stubbed out his cigarette, put it in his pocket, looked up at the sky, and remained silent for a long time.

Staff Officer Lin could tell from his expression that he was struggling with something again.

He sighed and said, "Oh, it's really not a big deal if we don't send her off. Although Comrade Xiao Qiao is only eighteen years old, and she's pretty and innocent, she was almost kidnapped as soon as she arrived. But it's alright. I believe that she'll be lucky to survive that three-day, four-night train journey."

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

Staff Officer Lin continued, "However, I don't know what's wrong with her family. They dared to send such a young girl on a train to the north, so far away. Most parents wouldn't feel at ease, right? She didn't get married this time. When she goes back, she'll probably be married off to just anyone. Sigh, what a pitiful girl. How can she manage without anyone protecting her?"

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

Qin Yuanzheng frowned deeply and said, "What era are we living in? Parents can still force their children to get married?"

However, Qin Yuanzheng then thought of Wang Huiping's actions of poisoning his drink and deliberately going into the wrong room in the middle of the night, and he fell silent again.

And you know what? This era is actually the easiest time to be forced.

Because once a relationship is established, there's no turning back.

Qin Yuanzheng remained silent, his heart growing increasingly agitated.

Staff Officer Lin immediately added, "Of course, Comrade Xiao Qiao's parents aren't necessarily unreasonable people. However, given Comrade Xiao Qiao's situation, she'll probably have to go to the countryside. Sigh, she's so petite and frail, even her voice is so soft. I really don't know what kind of work she can do in the countryside."

Seeing Qin Yuanzheng's expression, he pressed on, saying:

"I've heard that some pretty female educated youths get harassed by young men after they arrive in the countryside. They either live in dilapidated houses or stay with villagers. It's possible that someone might climb over the wall and sneak into their house in the middle of the night. Comrade Xiao Qiao is so pretty, it's very possible... Hey, Commander, where are you going? Wait for me."

Before Staff Officer Lin could finish speaking, he saw Qin Yuanzheng walk away without turning his head.

Just as Staff Officer Lin was about to give chase, Qin Yuanzheng turned around and glared at him: "You stay and do your work."

Staff Officer Lin: "???"

Before Staff Officer Lin could speak, Qin Yuanzheng had already walked a long way away.

Before Staff Officer Lin could run away, the chief engineer grabbed him: "Hey, Staff Officer Lin, you're here just in time! Let's check these blueprints together. Before Commander Qin returns, let's finish this quickly, and then you can report to him. We're busy."

Staff Officer Lin: "..."

These cunning fellows clearly don't want to connect with Commander Qin, which is why they're holding him back from leaving!

Qin Yuanzheng hurriedly returned to the mine office, and then, the warmth of the office's heating calmed him down.

Wait a minute, why was he so excited just now?

What's the meaning of him stopping Comrade Xiao Qiao like this?

He has no legitimate reason to act.

Moreover, he had been so harsh on Comrade Xiao Qiao before. How could he go back to see her like this?

Qin Yuanzheng stood with his hands on his hips, pacing back and forth in the office.

Just then, the door to the guardhouse next door opened, and a guard ran over: "Report!"

Qin Yuanzheng: "Come in."

The guard opened the door, came in, and said loudly, "Commander, you have a phone call."

Qin Yuanzheng immediately turned and walked towards the guard room next door: "Who is it?"

Usually, the calls he receives are from the headquarters building, and he always thinks there's some kind of emergency.

As it turned out, the situation was indeed quite urgent, but the call didn't come from headquarters.

Company Commander Yang said urgently on the phone, "Regimental Commander, please come to the First Military Hospital right away. Comrade Xiao Qiao has gone mad. She says she wants to get a tubal ligation."

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

Qin Yuanzheng thought he had misheard. Vasectomy? What is that? It's such an unfamiliar term.

What's more, it's connected to Comrade Xiao Qiao, which sounds rather frightening.

Qin Yuanzheng's forehead was covered in sweat. He said calmly, "Repeat it calmly."

Company Commander Yang paused for a moment, then repeated in a very calm tone: "Reporting to the regimental commander, Comrade Xiao Qiao suddenly got off the train and isn't going to the train station anymore. She said she's going to get a tubal ligation. Do you want to come over? I couldn't stop her."

Qin Yuanzheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, his voice tense: "Didn't you say you were going to the train station? Why are you suddenly going to get a tubal ligation?"

Company Commander Yang became a little guilty. He stammered, "Well, Regimental Commander, it's all my fault. On the way, Comrade Xiao Qiao asked me why I rejected her. Was it because she was too young? I said no... I said it might be because of your infertility... Anyway, after hearing that, Comrade Xiao Qiao insisted on getting a vasectomy."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yuanzheng's forehead veins bulged. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll deal with you when I get back! Keep a close eye on her. I'm coming right now."

Xiao Yang quickly agreed. After hanging up the phone, he walked out of the dean's office, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly ran downstairs to find Qiao Lanshu sitting in a chair at the hospital.

Qiao Lanshu originally wanted to go directly to the doctor to consult about tubal ligation, but seeing that Company Commander Xiao Yang was very nervous, she found a chair to sit down and asked Xiao Yang to call Qin Yuanzheng first.

She didn't actually intend to get a tubal ligation; she just wanted to try it out and see if Qin Yuanzheng cared about her.

If she's about to get her tubal ligation done and Qin Yuanzheng still hasn't come, then she'll give up completely.

When she returns to Guangzhou, she will go to the countryside or get married, and she will no longer think about Qin Yuanzheng.

But if she doesn't try this time, then the future will be uncertain, and it will be too late for her to regret it.
