Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Novel - Chapter 876

Chapter 876: Ask Qiao Nan for Help

Zhai Sheng turned solemn. “It is better to distance yourself from such a person. Don’t get too close with her.”

“We are in the same dormitory. How do I distance myself from her?”

“As long as you don’t hinder her way, there is no need for you to keep a distance. She will not be close to you when there is not a necessity.”

Zhai Sheng knew right away from what Qiao Nan said that there was someone who had a desire to beat others and vie with each other for glamor.

Their engagement was a personal matter. Qiao Nan did not have other hidden agendas. Other people should not spread information about someone else’s privacy as well.

Although Zhai Sheng had no experience in dealing with such people, it was easy for him to figure out their mindsets. Zhai Sheng had a rough idea of what was on these people’s minds.

“Alright, I will listen to you.” Qiao Nan agreed readily. “I have told you about my situation at school. Shouldn’t you have a good rest now? You are injured. How about Sister Zhai Hua? Is she alright?”

Zhai Sheng shot a cold look at Zhai Hua, who was beside him. She looked guilt-stricken as if she was a dog that was abandoned, a pitiful look on her face. “Don’t worry. She is alive and kicking. She is very energetic.”

“Okay. Have a good rest. I will hang up now.” Qiao Nan knew that if she did not take the initiative to end the call, Zhai Sheng would keep on chatting with her and it would hinder his recovery. Therefore, she hung up the phone right away. Zhai Sheng did not have a chance to say anything else.

Zhai Sheng hung up the phone when he heard the dial tone on the other side of the phone.

“I am sorry,” Zhai Hua said immediately. “If not for me, you would not be hurt.”

“Go out to write a letter of repentance. Zhai Hua, if you commit the same mistake again, my camp will not have such a soldier like you.” Zhai Sheng was very serious. Back then, he did not give any leeway to Wei De, and now, he would not be lenient to Zhai Hua either.

His family and the camp were two different matters.

Zhai Hua affected the camp because of her personal reasons. Zhai Sheng could never tolerate or forgive her.

“Zhai Hua, if your stand is not firm, and you are not determined, you are not suitable to continue being a soldier. Take off your military uniform. I will not stop you from doing whatever you want in the future. I will not care how well you perform either. It is not up to me to do that. But right now, you are still in your military uniform. You are still a soldier. Therefore, I will never allow you to make such a stupid mistake!”

Zhai Hua’s eyes turned red. “I… I understand.”

“Write the letter of repentance now and receive your punishment afterward. Do you need me to state the amount of physical exercises that you have to do for your punishment?”

“No.”

“Then, what are you waiting for? Unless you finish the physical exercises, you won’t be having dinner today. Zhai Hua, as your superior, let me warn you again. If you behave in such a manner again, scram before I lose my temper.” Zhai Sheng was worried that there would be a day he would not be able to control his temper and would give Zhai Hua a good thrashing.

“I know.” Zhai Hua sniffed. There was no need for Zhai Sheng to reprimand her. She was shocked at what happened this time.

She had exposed her location because of her negligence and was discovered by the enemy.

The bullet made a sound when it flew past her ear. Zhai Hua still remembered that sound until now.

If Zhai Sheng did not leap forward in the nick of time to save Zhai Hua, she would be the one lying on the bed now. If she had been hit by the bullets, it would have cost her her life.

Zhai Hua was afraid of death like any other people.

Apart from putting herself in danger, she had exposed her position because of such a small blunder and put her comrades in a dangerous situation.

If not for Zhai Sheng, who reacted quickly such that the enemy had no time to plan an attack, Zhai Hua and the comrades that were near her would have perished together.

Even if Zhai Sheng did not lose his temper this time, Zhai Hua was aware that she had committed a very serious mistake.

When she was carrying out the mission, she was in a daze because she was thinking about her relationship with Wei De. In the end, it resulted in such grave circumstances. Zhai Hua had turned green in fright. Even if Zhai Sheng did not punish her, she would not be able to forgive herself. She was unable to shirk responsibilities and receive political cover from Zhai Sheng.

Zhai Sheng frowned as Zhai Hua went out to receive her punishment. He made a phone call to Zhai Yaohui. “The mission was halted. Are we putting off the plans for now?”

“Haste makes waste. This has been dragging on for a long period of time. It is expected that the mission would fail this time.” It was a pity that they missed such a good opportunity. It would be a surprise if they succeeded. However, he was still disappointed that they had failed the mission.

“Chief, I am willing to take full responsibility for the failure in this mission. It is my fault for not disciplining my subordinates well and committing such mistakes, affecting the entire plan. Therefore, I am willing to accept any punishment that the party or the organization metes.” Someone had to take responsibility for this incident.

“We are in a discussion. When there is an outcome, I will notify you.” Even though Zhai Sheng was his son, Zhai Yaohui still went by the law.

“Yes, chief.”

“Alright, you should work on nursing your injuries. Before the results are out, the only thing you have to do is to nurse yourself back to health.” Zhai Yaohui understood that his son had taken the rap for his daughter. However, both his son and daughter had to bear responsibility for what happened this time.

“Yes, chief.” Zhai Sheng finally lay down to rest after ending the call.

As he was exhausted and had lost a lot of blood due to his injuries, Zhai Sheng fell asleep in no time.

“Hello, Qiao Nan, it is me.” Zhai Hua called Qiao Nan to tell her what happened to Zhai Sheng. Of course, her main purpose was to talk to someone and to ask Qiao Nan for help. “I have committed a grave mistake…”

Qiao Nan looked grim after Zhai Hua told her everything. It was no wonder that Brother Zhai kept quiet about his injuries. It turned out that it was Sister Zhai Hua who caused him to be injured. “Are his injuries serious? Where did he hurt himself?”

“His arms. The bullets were meant for me. Zhai Sheng used his arms to wrap around my head. Therefore, his arms were hit by the bullets.”

“Has he undergone surgery?”

“Yes.” Zhai Hua choked up with tears. “I am sorry.”

Qiao Nan sighed. “There is no need to apologize to me or Brother Zhai. As your comrade, even if you make a mistake, Brother Zhai won’t leave you in the lurch. Moreover, you are his sister. However, you can never commit this mistake again. Luckily, Brother Zhai only injured his arms. His arms will recover in no time after the surgery. But if… if he is seriously injured and there are other complications, there is no use in giving me a call. Unless you give the deities a call, everything that you do will be useless.”
