Chapter 129 - 129 129 Violated Discipline

Chapter 129: Chapter 129 Violated Discipline Chapter 129: Chapter 129 Violated Discipline Meng Xinian’s shoulder and chest had injuries, so he hadn’t put on a shirt, and nearly his entire upper body was wrapped in gauze. His complexion was somewhat pale, his lips chapped, and there was a small wound at the corner of his mouth, with light blue stubble sprouting from his chin.

He really didn’t look good.

Li Hanzhong frowned and said, “Didn’t they say they’d find a nurse to clean you up?”

“She came, and I sent her away.”

At these words, Li Hanzhong paused, then couldn’t help but glare at him, “You’re causing trouble even in the hospital!”

Meng Xinian couldn’t be bothered to argue about this with him and simply said, “Chief Alliance Officer, you didn’t leave Aunt Jiang to come all the way here just to quarrel with me, did you?”

Previously, a nurse had come over, saying she would help him shave and apply medicine to the wound on his mouth. He initially didn’t refuse, but the nurse’s face was constantly red, her gaze drifting, and as she bent over in front of him, he looked down to see her bulging chest right under his eyelids.

Meng Xinian would rather live in disheveled misery than act like Gao Wei, that kid, who took advantage of the moment of applying medicine to be intimately annoying with the young nurse.

Moreover, he didn’t like the way that nurse’s eyes floated.

Thinking of this, for some reason, a pair of large eyes appeared in his mind.

Those eyes were dark and bright, with a very earnest gaze.

“You little rascal!”

If Meng Xinian weren’t injured, Li Hanzhong really would have wanted to kick him.

“I just came to ask about the situation with that young lady who helped you!”

No sooner had Li Hanzhong finished speaking than the corners of Meng Xinian’s mouth twitched slightly, revealing a smile with a bit of rogue charm. Yet, the words he spoke made Li Hanzhong feel like kicking him.

“What, you think I violated the discipline and you want to deal with me?”

“You even know you violated discipline? An army mission, especially such a dangerous one, and you actually involved a young girl! If this gets out…”

Li Hanzhong himself had been shocked when he heard the news.

Meng Xinian never brought unrelated people into missions, but what was the matter this time?

Even he knew that this mission had been too tough. Who would have thought that his wife would encounter that gang of desperate criminals just by quietly visiting Peace Town to inquire into old affairs?

In fact, last night, he and his father-in-law had mentally braced themselves, thinking that Ying Qiong probably wouldn’t make it back this time.

He had prepared blood pressure medication for his father-in-law, his heart tight as a string, bracing for the worst, fearing that if the news of his wife’s accident came, his father-in-law wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

Yet, Meng Xinian had managed to keep her alive.

“… If someone with intentions picks on this, do you think you’d get off easy? Don’t you forget the blood and sweat it cost you to become the captain of this special squad at your young age.”

Li Hanzhong lectured him sternly, giving him a none-too-pleased look.

Why would he discipline him?

Don’t talk to him about discipline. Hadn’t the Guard Squad relied on villagers before? Of course, he trusted Meng Xinian, who from his childhood had always had calculated intentions.

But even if he believed him, others might not.

He had also hit Gao Wei, and the Gao Family was always one to bear grudges. If they latched onto this point, it was entirely possible they’d have him removed from his captaincy.

So, no matter what, he had to come first and ask about the situation, to be better prepared ahead of time.

Meng Xinian’s mind once again conjured up the image of that cat, his originally indifferent gaze suddenly softening.

She was a bewitching creature. Working with her felt so in sync that he caught himself sighing with satisfaction. He liked people who were calm and collected in times of trouble, quick to respond and not full of nonsense, and that cat was just like that.

If she were a man, and a few years older, he would have wanted to take her under his wing; she was definitely a promising talent.
