Chapter 1838: That’s How The Misunderstanding Came About

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Only then did Du Jiayi believe that the company commander was not lying to her. It seemed that Xia Jinyuan was indeed not at this outpost but at another.

She immediately put on a dignified smile and said, “I’m sorry, Company Commander. I’ve made things difficult for you. I’m old friends with Xia Jinyuan. After he started serving in the military, he has never contacted his mother. I asked about his whereabouts because his mother asked me to. I’m sorry to have delayed you for so long, Company Commander.”

Company Commander Feng had already understood the situation from the leader. Knowing that there was no problem with Du Jiayi’s identity, he smiled brightly and said, “Not at all. It’s just a pity that I couldn’t offer you much help.”

The daughter of the staff officer was polite and did not put on any airs. She even risked her life to come and visit the soldiers at the outpost. Company Commander Feng, who had a good impression of her, was very willing to help her. “Why don’t we do this? Captain Du, write a letter. I’ll get someone to ask the various outposts when the time comes. If there’s any news, I’ll send a letter to 30 Mile Camp. What do you think?”

When Qin Xiu heard Du Jiayi’s elated reply, he smiled.

She was so anxious to find Xia Jinyuan. It seemed that the daughter of the Du family liked Xia Jinyuan… The two families were in a death knot. Xia Jinyuan was a firm person. Du Jiayi might be defeated.

Of course, that was not what he was concerned about.

Instead, he wanted to tell Mrs. Qin that the daughter-in-law she liked already had someone in her heart. As her son, he didn’t want to be the bad guy and ruin the Du family’s daughter’s future.

The Qin family didn’t want rumors to spread about their favorite daughter-in-law. The first person who wouldn’t allow it wasn’t Mrs. Qin but the old man who was currently living his life in luxury.

The Qin family had always been strict. In the early years of the war, the Qin family went abroad to avoid chaos. After returning to the country, Old Master Qin even detained the younger generation of the family and forbade them from messing around, lest they ruin the Qin family’s foundation.

When it came to his grandchildren’s generation, the Qin family was considered stable. However, when it came to history, Old Master Qin would inevitably be short of breath. Therefore, even though the Qin family had been restored to the prosperous times before the war, their family was still strict. Anyone who went slightly out of line would anger Old Master Qin.

If one of his grandsons married a woman with a bad reputation, it might be possible that they could no longer have the surname ‘Qin’ in order to restore the family’s reputation.

The conversation outside gradually died down, and Du Jiayi said, “How are Reporter Qin and his colleague doing?” Only then did Qin Xiu know that Company Commander Feng had given this excuse.

He did not know if Company Commander Feng would tell Du Jiayi the truth. As the company commander of the outpost, it was impossible for him to make such a big mistake when it concerned national secrets.

The sound of footsteps and conversation gradually faded until the surroundings returned to calmness. Qin Xiu, who was lying flat on his back, closed his eyes again. The smile on his lips meant that he had probably solved another problem in his mind. Unexpectedly, he fell asleep after a while.

The charcoal-burning stove gave off an unpleasant smell. Despite this, Qin Xiu slept until dawn.

On the second day, Qin Xiu began what a reporter should do—interview the company commander, platoon commander, and comrades. Then, he climbed to the high altitude outpost with the company commander. It took Qin Xiu two days to finish his work.

In the meantime, Du Jiayi had tried several times to see his manuscript, but she was always rejected. In the end, Du Jiayi’s face turned ashen. She had not recovered even after they had returned to 30 Mile Camp.

Xia Jinyuan was about 300 kilometers away from the campsite. On the fourth day after Qin Xiu and the rest returned to the capital, he knew that Du Jiayi was asking about his whereabouts.. At the same time, she also asked about which unit Ye Jian belonged to, the number of the unit… and other information related to her identity.
