Gu Qingjiu and He Niancheng, as well as Huo Yingcheng, returned to the new recruits’ training camp.
Although Gu Qingjiu quickly returned to her dormitory alone, word of her being with those new instructors still spread throughout the training camp.
Hence that night, Jiang Yu and Feng Meiyun stared at Gu Qingjiu with weird gazes.
But they were still holding themselves from asking anything.
Shortly after, Yu Bao’er, who had a delightful time, finally returned to the dormitory.
“Qingjiu, Qingjiu. Do you know what happened in the military zone today?”
Gu Qingjiu, who was fetching water and preparing to wash her face, shook her head and asked with a smile at Yu Bao’er’s words, “What happened?”
Actually, she had some premonition in her heart.
Indeed, Yu Bao’er’s expression changed to one of terror. “Qingjiu, do you believe there are human traffickers in our military zone?”
The minute she said this, even Feng Meiyun and Jiang Yu, who were initially ignoring them, had their ears pricked up.
There was a look of disbelief on their faces.
When Gu Qingjiu saw their expressions, she realized the matter hadn’t thoroughly spread throughout the military zone.
She felt a little surprised. Bao’er had extraordinary connections—she was always able to hear such news from the military zone before anyone else.
When Jiang Yu and Feng Meiyun returned earlier in the afternoon, they hadn’t discussed such a matter.
“I know about those human traffickers. I was there this afternoon…”
After some thought, Gu Qingjiu decided not to hide what she had experienced from Yu Bao’er.
“You were there?”
Yu Bao’er widened her eyes in an instant and agitatedly grabbed Gu Qingjiu’s hand. “I heard a female recruit saved that female soldier together with the Chief Instructor. Turns out that person was you?”
Together with the Chief Instructor.
Gu Qingjiu hadn’t felt much about the rest, but that part of the sentence made Gu Qingjiu feel a tad weird.
Her countenance looked slightly terrible.
The location where they rescued the female soldier was Zone Two, where people rarely went in the first place.
Even if it was to rescue someone, how did she and the Chief Instructor coincidentally appear there together?
And what was more, just the two of them?
Even if Gu Qingjiu felt she was excessively worrying, but seeing the way Jiang Yu and Feng Meiyun’s expressions changed instantly, Gu Qingjiu knew that she would not have peaceful days ahead.
Rumors were scary!
If they were to spread this rumor so senselessly, she would let Commander Huo down!
After all, he and Commander He were the fishy ones.
Would she become a stumbling block like what you see on TV dramas?
Gu Qingjiu felt that this was terrible.
Looking at Yu Bao’er again, her eyes were sparkling, and she looked somewhat pleased with herself as she glanced sideways at Feng Meiyun and Jiang Yu in an indistinct manner.
Great, she hadn’t expected this lass to have said this deliberately!
Gu Qingjiu felt that she couldn’t indulge Bao’er and let her speak nonsense any further. But if she were to come up with a reason and say that the Chief Instructor had coincidentally appeared there, would others believe her?
After much thought, Gu Qingjiu could only say helplessly, “I just happened to be there this afternoon. I didn’t expect to see the Chief Instructor appear there as well, and even bumping into that female soldier was an accident. I can only say it was all a coincidence. You just mentioned the female soldier who was rescued in the military zone. Do you know how she is now?”
She had to tell the truth anyway, and if others refused to believe her, it’s none of her concern then.
But just as she wanted to change the topic, she heard a sour remark by the side.
“What a coincidence? You seem to run into all kinds of situations.”
