"She can’t. She’s going to university."
Director Xie’s eyes widened at Qin Wenhao’s words.
"Your wife is going to university? That’s incredible. I heard a ton of people took the college entrance exam this year. It was like a million people trying to cross a single-plank bridge. The fact that she made it through is seriously impressive."
Director Xie was genuinely impressed.
Several people from their own unit’s family housing took the exam too, but unfortunately, none of them passed.
"By the way, which university did she get into?"
"Beijing University."
Qin Wenhao didn’t hide it.
When Director Xie heard "Beijing University," he froze for a couple of seconds before giving a thumbs-up. "Truly incredible."
He then said, overjoyed, "Who says she can’t join you? Isn’t your Independent Group being transferred to Beijing City soon? That’s incredibly close. Your wife can come home to the family housing during her breaks."
"By the way, we’ve been talking all this time. What’s your wife’s name?"
Qin Wenhao glanced at him, then uttered two words. "Fu Mingxue!"
"Fu Mingxue? That’s a nice name... but why does it sound so familiar?" Director Xie wondered aloud.
Qin Wenhao: ...?
"You should get your brain checked."
With that, he turned and strode away.
"What’s that supposed to mean? What do you mean, ’get my brain checked’?"
Wait a minute—
’Fu Mingxue? Wasn’t that the same Fu Mingxue from Song Yan’s case just now?’
’My God, Song Yan helped his ex-wife scheme against Qin Wenhao’s wife?’

Meanwhile, Song Yan returned to his dorm, his expression dark.
Bai Siqi saw his sullen face.
Her heart dropped, and a terrible thought surfaced.
"—You were disciplined?"
The anger he’d been suppressing the whole way back erupted in an instant.
"Is your brother, Bai Chunsheng, a complete moron? Why did he have to rat me out?"
Bai Siqi jumped, startled by the furious, red-eyed man. "What—what are you doing? What did my brother do?"
"That idiot brother of yours ratted me out! He said the whole thing was my idea, and now I’m being discharged and sent home," Song Yan roared, his eyes bloodshot.
The color drained from Bai Siqi’s face.
’What—Song Yan is leaving the army?’
’That can’t happen.’
’If he leaves the army, how will he ever get promoted?’
"Didn’t you plead with your superiors?"
This time, Song Yan ignored her.
He was consumed by rage.
He quickly packed his personal belongings.
Two hours later, the two of them left the base and headed for the train station.
Bai Siqi had wanted to find Qin Wenhao on the base, but a place like this would never let her wander around freely.
Besides, there were guards posted outside.
What she didn’t expect, however, was to run into him at the train station. "Song Yan, look! Isn’t that Qin Wenhao?"
At her shout, Song Yan instinctively looked up and saw that the person boarding the train was indeed Qin Tuan.
"Let’s hurry over and talk to him," Bai Siqi said urgently.
But Song Yan didn’t move. "Let’s get on the train first. It’s about to leave. We’ll find him once we’re on board."
They were in a regular passenger car, while Qin Wenhao had entered a sleeper car.
Bai Siqi had no choice but to do as Song Yan said.
After boarding the train, the two of them found their seats.
Bai Siqi immediately urged him, "Go find Qin Wenhao now!"
"You wait here, then. You need to watch our things." For some reason, Song Yan didn’t want to go find Qin Tuan with Bai Siqi.
Bai Siqi: ...?
But she had no choice; Song Yan simply wouldn’t let her come along.
"Fine, then."
’No big deal,’ she thought. ’I’ll just go find him myself after Song Yan gets back.’
