Chapter 677

Chen Rou had arrived at the scene at eight o'clock, an hour earlier than Nie Zhao. Why had she arrived so early, and what had she been doing there—talking to Battalion Commander Zhao the entire time? And what on earth were they discussing that had them both laughing so heartily, unable to stop throughout the entire event? Nie Zhao had not asked these questions; his wife had volunteered the information. In their marriage, he was never petty, believing that partners should grant each other space and not interfere too much. However, since his wife was willing to share, he was naturally eager to listen. Ayuan was listening too; although he couldn't understand it, he saw his father pricking up his ears and insisted on doing the same. It turned out that Battalion Commander Zhao had long known that Lieutenant Colonel Wally intended to cause trouble. Though he had been a step behind Chen Rou, he had reached the scene in time. Just like Yue Zhongqi reaching out to pull Liang Lisheng earlier that day—if something goes wrong, it becomes a scandal beyond repair, but as long as it doesn't, it is merely a triviality that passes without anyone noticing.
