The aloof military doctor arrives at the unit, and the tough guy can't sit still.

Lu Zhenghan's face remained tense, and the chilling aura in his eyes grew stronger. He pulled Xia Qiuran behind him and stared directly at Zhao Feng.

"Comrade Zhao Feng, we have an urgent matter to attend to. If you continue to block our way, I will not be so polite."

Lu Zhenghan's dark eyes were deep and devoid of any warmth.

Zhao Feng felt as if he were enveloped by an invisible and enormous force. His eyes darted around in a panic, and he dared not meet Lu Zhenghan's gaze. Instead, he looked at Xia Qiuran behind Lu Zhenghan and said.

"Qiu Ran, there's no time for you to think about it. Yu Qin will be here soon."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Yang Yuqin ran over from a short distance away.

"Brother Zhao Feng."

After running to Zhao Feng's side, she first grabbed his arm and then gave Xia Qiuran a provocative look.

"Brother Zhao Feng, you must stand up for me! Xia Qiuran threw noodles on me and even called me shameless."

Seeing Yang Yuqin approach, Zhao Feng subconsciously straightened his back: "Xia Qiuran, we are from the same hometown. If you apologize to Yuqin now and compensate her for some medical expenses, I can promise to let this matter go and not pursue it any further."

"I'll see how you want to pursue this," Xia Qiuran replied with a snort, her sharp eyes fixed on the two people in front of her.

"Qiu Ran, why are you being so insensible now?" Zhao Feng's tone softened noticeably.

Yang Yuqin gritted her teeth, even more resentful. "Brother Zhao Feng, my uncle said he knows the leaders of the car factory, and promotion is just a matter of a word from him."

Upon hearing the word "promotion," Zhao Feng's eyes lit up instantly, and a fierce expression slowly appeared on his face, just like when he abused Xia Qiuran in his previous life.

"Xia Qiuran, I advise you not to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Quickly apologize to Yuqin," Zhao Feng said coldly.

"Comrade Zhao Feng, I'm telling you one last time, get out of the way." Lu Zhenghan stood directly opposite Zhao Feng again, his dark eyes filled with hostility, as if he had reached his limit.

Zhao Feng unconsciously took a step back, feeling a chill run down his spine, and dared not even speak loudly.

"Let's go." Lu Zhenghan then grabbed Xia Qiuran's wrist and walked past Zhao Feng.

Inside the restaurant, many onlookers began pointing and whispering, blaming others when it was clearly their own fault.

They came looking for trouble, only to be intimidated by a single look from the other person and dared not move. They truly brought shame upon themselves.

Watching the group swagger away, Yang Yuqin glanced around, her face flushed with shame and anger, and punched Zhao Feng on the shoulder.

"What are you doing? Go after them! You're scared like this by just a few words from them. Are you even a man?"

Zhao Feng stared intently at the departing figures of Lu Zhenghan and his group, his hands clenched into fists, not daring to move an inch.

...

The following day, on the weekend, Lu Zhenghan heard that Zhou Guangming's headache had flared up again because of the security conference. To appease him, Lu Zhenghan specially brought two bottles of porcelain liquor to his house.

Upon entering, he saw Yuan Qiaoling and Bai Yunyun there, and the corners of his mouth, which had been turned up, instantly fell down.

The two people opposite each other lit up almost simultaneously when they saw Lu Zhenghan.

"Uncle Zhou, I brought you two bottles of Maotai-flavor liquor." Upon seeing Zhou Guangming, Lu Zhenghan smiled and placed the liquor on the table.

Zhou Guangming, his face grim, asked, "Why didn't you attend the security conference yesterday?"

Lu Zhenghan calmly explained, "I was supposed to go yesterday, but something came up and I was delayed."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Guangming slammed his hand on the table: "Nonsense! Is this a child's play? They called the regimental headquarters several times, thinking something had happened to you."

"Uncle Zhou, please calm down. I'll definitely be more careful next time." Lu Zhenghan knew he was in the wrong, so he kept smiling no matter what Zhou Guangming said.

Seeing that Lu Zhenghan's attitude was good, Zhou Guangming didn't say anything more, and asked in a cold voice, "Tell me, why didn't you go yesterday?"

Lu Zhenghan's eyes darted away for a moment. "Yesterday, I spotted two people on the way who looked a lot like the spies we arrested before, so I followed them and observed them for a while."

Upon hearing that they had encountered spies, Zhou Guangming's expression immediately became tense. Last time, Lu Zhenghan almost lost his life while chasing spies.

"A spy? How are you? Are you alright?" Zhou Guangming quickly looked Lu Zhenghan up and down.

"It's alright, look at me, I'm perfectly fine." Lu Zhenghan stood up and let Zhou Guangming look him over.

"They just look alike; they're not actually spies."

Zhou Guangming was relieved to hear this.

"Brother, your job is too dangerous. I need to call Grandpa and ask him to transfer you back to Beijing." Yuan Qiaoling said softly, grabbing Lu Zhenghan's sleeve with a worried expression.

"That's how a soldier's job is. If you're afraid and everyone else is afraid, and you all stay in comfortable places, then who will defend the country?"

Lu Zhenghan glanced at Yuan Qiaoling, his face serious.

"Shangchun City was the last to be liberated, and it's never been a peaceful place. If you're scared, you can still go back now."

"That's not what I meant, brother." Yuan Qiaoling lowered her head after being told that.

Seeing Yuan Qiaoling being scolded, Bai Yunyun unconsciously smiled and walked up to her with her head held high.

"Comrade Yuan, from the moment we soldiers are enlisted, we bear an inescapable responsibility on our shoulders. You may never understand this."

Yuan Qiaoling looked up at Lu Zhenghan with a soft gaze. "Sister Bai, I don't really understand what responsibility is. I just want my brother to be safe and sound, because our whole family is waiting for him to come back for a reunion."

Bai Yunyun's face was cold. Hearing that "sister" made her feel disgusted from the bottom of her heart. She was really good at pretending. It was disgusting.

"Comrade Yuan, you can call me Comrade Bai, or you can call me Dr. Bai, but I don't have any younger sisters at home, so it's better if you don't call me sister."

Yuan Qiaoling took a step back and answered timidly, "Yes, I understand, Dr. Bai. I will never call you that again."

With one strong and the other weak, Yuan Qiaoling's timid appearance completely contrasted with Bai Yunyun, making her seem like an overbearing and domineering woman.

As Lu Zhenghan listened to the two of them talking back and forth, his eyes were already filled with impatience.

"Uncle Zhou, you have guests today, I'll come to see you another day," he said, getting up to greet Zhou Guangming.

"elder brother."

"Brother Zhenghan".

Bai Yunyun and the other person immediately went to Lu Zhenghan's side. They came here entirely because of Lu Zhenghan, and it would have been a waste of time if Lu Zhenghan left.

"Hey, let's go."

Hearing that Lu Zhenghan was leaving, Zhou Guangming also sighed heavily and took two deep breaths.

"I don't know when my illness will suddenly worsen. When that happens, I'll have your aunt notify you, but I don't know if you'll be able to see me one last time by the time you get here."

Yuan Qiaoling has been here for several days. Apart from seeing her once at the welcome banquet, Lu Zhenghan has always kept her at arm's length.

This time, we absolutely cannot let Lu Zhenghan leave again.
