Chapter 1050: She’s Here

Old Madam He still did not understand how powerful Lu Xingzhi was before she heard everyone addressed him as Third Young Master Lu. It was only then that she thought that he must be a powerful man, like those noble young masters in the movies. That was when she felt afraid.

She also did not know that Sergeant Lu would be transferred to another unit after a year. If she had known that, she would not have done so many things.

Old Madam He was scared witless when her son told her that it would only take a few words from Sergeant Lu to destroy his career once the man found out that his mother was the one who reported him. She had wanted to help her son; she did not expect she would cause so much trouble for him instead.

Lu Xingzhi could destroy Major He’s hard work easily if he wanted to do that.

Major He was a tough person. If any other person were to live across from Lu Xingzhi, they would probably take time to build a good relationship with Lu Xingzhi. However, Major He did not have such thoughts. He was a stubborn person; he was dedicated to his work in the army wholeheartedly.

However, the fact that he was stubborn did not mean that he was stupid enough to do something that would offend Lu Xingzhi.

Major He knew that he would never fit into Lu Xingzhi’s circle, so he would not insert himself into it deliberately. However, he did not want to offend someone like Lu Xingzhi for the rest of his life.

“I did guess that the other report was written by a family member of someone in the military. But I did not expect that it’d be you.” Lu Xingzhi waited until they were done before he spoke. However, his voice was even colder than the cold wind outside.

Lu Xingzhi had already told his men to compare the report with the handwriting of the military family members, perhaps someone less knowledgeable. Even if Old Madam He did not admit it that day, it was only a matter of time before he would trace it back to her.

Lu Xingzhi thought that the person who spread the rumor in the army was Old Madam He; he did not think she was the one who wrote the report. He was surprised to learn that.

Coincidentally, Zhou Junmin had gone to his room; he stood at the door after he had knocked on the door. “Sergeant Lu, the Colonel, the Commissar, and the Chief are asking for you at the Commissar’s office. Chen Lanying is here.”

Lu Xingzhi nodded and stood up. He glanced at Major He and his as he pondered for a few seconds. “Do as you wish.”

That meant that they could either choose to leave or wait. Then, he stood up and went to the Commissar’s office with Zhou Junmin.

Chen Lanying was already in Commissar Wang’s office. There was another young girl with her. Lu Xingzhi had never seen her before, so he did not know whether it was someone arranged by the Chen family or Chen Lanying’s friend.

“Alright, he’s here. You can say it now.” Commissar Wang greeted Lu Xingzhi as he came in through the door. “Chen Lanying, he is here now. You said you have something to say.”

When she heard Commissar Wang say that Lu Xingzhi had arrived, Chen Lanying quickly turned around and looked at the door. Chen Lanying had seen Lu Xingzhi before; they sat with each other for half an hour. Even though they did not say much, she thought that he had not changed. He was just as handsome as when she first saw his photo.

If there were anything different about him, then his brows and eyes looked more composed than they did back then.

Chen Lanying watched as Lu Xingzhi walked into the room in his military uniform. He walked past her expressionlessly as if he did not know her. Her heart ached.
