Chapter 1506: Chapter 1508: Truly a Difficult Problem Chapter 1506: Chapter 1508: Truly a Difficult Problem Anyway, if they really had a fight, with the Deputy Officerâs temperament, he would probably go straight to the Capital City, right? How could he possibly be going crazy alone on the training field?
Really canât figure it out, canât figure it out at all.
It wasnât until noon that Zhao Xin ran into a drenched Meng Xinian again.
He couldnât help but widen his eyes, âDeputy Commander, youâve worked yourself into such a state, are you planning to enter some kind of competition? Are we having a military-wide exercise?â
âBuzz off, donât make wild guesses.â
Meng Xinian had vented his excess energy and felt a bit better now. Upon hearing his nonsense, he couldnât help but glare at him.
âSo whatâs all this about? Our recent training intensity is already enough, youâve left us trailing who knows where, and youâre still working yourself to death. How are we supposed to live like this?â Zhao Xin said with a pained expression.
Meng Xinian swept him a speechless glance and shoved past him, heading for his quarters.
It was then that Zhao Xin remembered to say, âOh right, your sister-in-law called you three times this morning. Great Officer, did you guys have a falling out?â
It was then Meng Xinian remembered that he had said he would call Chiang Xiao before washing the sheets, and he had forgotten!
âDarn it!â
He smacked his forehead, not bothering to shower first, he rushed to the office and called Chiang Xiao.
While waiting for the call to be answered, he kept thinking about how he would explain things to his little lady. Hmm, lie to her?
How to lie?
Say there was an emergency in the unit?
No, that wonât work. Zhao Xin, the bozo, took the call and likely spilled everything. That guy is too straightforward, I canât take the risk.
If he tells a lie to Chiang Xiaoxiao and she finds out, things will only get worse.
Plus, he didnât want to deceive Chiang Xiaoxiao.
So, just come clean?
The moment he thought of the scene from his dream, Meng Xinianâs ears turned red again.
No, that seems impossible to say out loud?
And if he really told her, when Chiang Xiaoxiao goes back home and lies on that bed, would she keep thinking about this incident?
No, no, thatâs not right.
Canât tell her.
For the first time, Meng Xinian faced such a difficult problem.
But nobody answered the phone.
He didnât know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or to feel troubled.
He wondered if Chiang Xiaoxiao was angry with him.
After hanging up the phone, Meng Xinian decided to find Zhao Xin to get the whole story.
He needed to know exactly what Zhao Xin said to Chiang Xiaoxiao, what Chiang Xiaoxiaoâs responses were, and how her tone was. He had to clarify everything.
When he heard that Zhao Xin told Chiang Xiao that there was nothing major going on in the unit, that he had a day off, and that he had said he wasnât coming back today, and then suddenly ran to train like a madman, he felt like eating Zhao Xin alive.
âIâm saying, Zhao Xin, when you take a call, do you have to be so explicit?â Meng Xinian said through gritted teeth.
Confused, Zhao Xin said, âShouldnât I say it? But thatâs my sister-in-law, and she was asking about you, shouldnât I be telling her the whole truth?â
How was he supposed to respond to that?
And Zhao Xin was still earnestly saying, âGreat Officer, Iâve already promised sister-in-law, whatever happens to you in the Alliance District, I need to report to her truthfully!â
He had nothing to say to this simpleton.
Meng Xinian left with a dark face.
Alright, lying was out of the question.
That left only the option to tell the truth.
But even if he were to be honest, he needed a plan on how to do it!
This problem troubled Great Officer Meng for a long, long time.
