My Dangerous Billionaire Husband - Chapter 976
Chapter 976: Are We That Alike
Bai Qi looked up and pointed ahead, “Turn left two more times, then go straight for another 200 meters.”
As soon as she said that, the others looked over at her. “Bai Qi, have you been here before? Why do you know the place so well?”
“Hmm,” Bai Bo was also surprised.
Bai Qi was stunned. She didn’t know why she knew this place so well. On second thought, she didn’t have any memories of this place in her mind. Yet, she seemed to be very familiar with this place.
This seemed to be a very important place.
“Forget it. Since Bai Qi can’t remember, let’s drop it. Come on, the military upholds punctuality. We can’t be late on our first day,” Bai Bo said.
…
When they got to the cafeteria and had breakfast, a person walked over with steady footsteps. “Hello, everyone. My name is Xiao Zhi. I will be your instructor for the next two days. I hope we can get along well.”
Xiao Zhi came. In four years, Zhou Yao had become a general, and Xiao Zhi became an instructor.
The other martial artists all saluted in a dignified manner. “Hello, instructor!”
“Hello, everyone.” Xiao Zhi scanned each of their faces in a friendly manner, then he fixed his gaze on Bai Qi.
Bai Qi didn’t understand why the instructor looked at her with such disbelief. She touched her face and asked, “Instructor, is there a bug on my face?”
Xiao Zhi quickly came back to his senses. “Oh, no…” he looked down at the attendance sheet in his hand. Then he returned his attention to Bai Qi and said with a smile, “Bai Qi, is it? Hello.”
“Hello, instructor.”
After the greeting, Xiao Zhi gave everyone a tour around the military base. It was the martial artists’ first time in the army, so they surveyed the place excitedly. Bai Qi was in the back of the group.
“Bai Qi, you don’t seem to have much interest in this place.” Xiao Zhi said as he made his way to Bai Qi.
Bai Qi’s lips parted. “That’s no it…”
At this moment, she heard a commotion coming from afar. She looked up and saw four special forces soldiers with guns running out quickly. Two stylish jeeps stopped, and the back seat doors opened. A handsome and upright figure appeared in her field of vision.
Bai Qi froze. It was… Zhou Yao.
However, Zhou Yao looked very different today. He wore a fitting military uniform and was sonorous and tall. Under the sunlight, the three-dimensional profile of his face was suffused with a cold aura. The three-star and one-tassel epaulets on his shoulders were shining.
When he got out of the jeep, the four special forces soldiers with guns immediately saluted him with a standard military salute. He strode forward without looking sideways, and the few more people who later got out of the car quickly followed behind him. Wherever he went, the soldiers whom he passed stopped to salute him. Even the battalion that was training in the distance saluted him as they ran, “Greetings, General!”
Bai Qi finally understood why she was so afraid of this man. His aura was too terrifying. It was the rich experience honed through life and death battles. Even if he wasn’t in his military uniform, she could still feel his sharp, deathly aura. He was an extremely dangerous person, but at that moment, he also was admirable and respectable.
Bai Qi was between laughter and tears. He really showed up at this military base. Under the vast heaven, they seemed to always bump into each other.
Was it the fate of two nemeses?
Xiao Zhi stood where he was and saluted with incomparable respect. Xiao Zhi introduced after Zhou Yao had walked away, “Bai Qi, that’s General Zhou, a military legend.”
“Oh, really?” Bai Qi smiled perfunctorily.
If this was her first time meeting that man, she might have admired and looked up to him. But she had already had too many bad memories of him. His private life was a mess, dating a woman like Liu Chengcheng. And he tampered with the Bai’s Martial Arts Dojo and even… forced her…
The memory of that night in the kitchen was still vivid in her mind. He was rude like a beast, very… perverted…
Bai Qi’s expression was a little unnatural. It could only be said that the man was not what he seemed.
“Bai Qi, you really look like someone I knew. Do you know who that person is?”
“Who?”
“The general’s wife.”
Wife?
These two words hammered her heart heavily. Wife, General Zhou’s wife…
His painful and hoarse whisper during that night rang in her ear. He was calling… his wife…
Bai Qi was a little confused. She knew that she looked like someone. Otherwise, based on her appearance, that man would definitely not look at her twice. His taste and appetite were very peculiar. When he was with Liu Chengcheng, he was acting somewhat perfunctory. It was as if he couldn’t care less about women, and was very contemptuous of women.
“Is it… Leng Zhiyuan?”
“Do you know the wife of our general?” Xiao Zhi was surprised.
Bai Qi quickly shook her head and smiled awkwardly. “No, I’ve only heard of her… Are we that alike? In what ways?”
“You can say that. Other than your face, you and our sister-in-law have very similar eyes, figure, and temperament. I was stunned when we were in the cafeteria just now because I’ve never seen such similar people in the world. However, your faces are completely different. This kind of extreme difference… feels very strange.”
Was that so?
Bai Qi didn’t know because she had never met Leng Zhiyuan.
“Is General Zhou’s relationship with his wife good?”
“Yes, general and sister-in-law are the two most loving couple I’ve ever seen.”
“Really?” Bai Qi didn’t believe it. If he really loved his wife so much, why would he engage in sexual promiscuity in the four years that his wife’s gone?
The best way to test a relationship was time. Most men were like that. They couldn’t stand loneliness, he was the same.
Xiao Zhi didn’t know what Bai Qi was thinking. He recalled some memories of the past, “The one that left the deepest impression on me was when sister-in-law was imprisoned in the military jail because of some problems. Chief Yang didn’t allow the general to visit her, and even made the general draw a clear line between himself and sister-in-law. You know, soldiers are like that. Our record must be spotless. At that time, the general jumped up from the hospital bed. He tore off the badge on his shoulders and gave it to Chief Yang and said “Can I visit her now?”
When Bai Qi heard this, she stopped in her tracks and many images flashed through her mind.
“Then, then how did Leng Zhiyuan die?” Bai Qi asked the question that she was most concerned about.
Xiao Zhi’s expression was very grave. That day four years ago was a painful memory for all. “Sister-in-law gave birth prematurely at eight and a half months. I was also there. I saw sister-in-law go through metrorrhagia with my own eyes. The island lacked advanced medical instruments. The white bed sheet was soaked red with… fresh blood. The general rushed over, and sister-in-law asked… the general to perform a C-section on her to get young master Sileng out…”
Xiao Zhi was a little choked up. He could not bear to recall that scene any further. It hurt every time he tried to recall that memory, “There was no anesthetic available at that time. The general… cut sister-in-law’s stomach… and more blood came out. Young master Sileng… came out, but sister-in-law… was bleeding non-stop…”
