Chapter 108: Doing a Paternity Test Yourself

After finishing their meal, the two returned to their residential compound. Lu Beiting went to boil water, while Xia Zhi took out a few hairs wrapped in plastic sheeting from her bag. These were the hairs she had picked up from Qiao Haisheng's clothes.

The one that looked like Qiao Sheng's was thrown away after Xia Zhi looked at it for a few seconds. She then put it in the lab and planned to do a paternity test herself after Lu Beiting fell asleep.

Lu Beiting knelt down to wash her feet. Xia Zhi glanced at him a few times and asked, "How are Piqiu and Tuanzi?"

"That's good, the bananas were all gone as soon as we got up the mountain." Lu Beiting couldn't help but smile as he thought of Piqiu's cunning nature.

Xia Zhi thought of the Imperial Green bananas she hadn't had time to sell and said with a smile, "They're really amazing. I'm going to the market tomorrow to buy a whole basket of bananas and plantains."

Lu Beiting helped her dry her feet. "Okay, be careful tomorrow. I have to go on patrol, so I won't go with you."

After getting into bed, Xia Zhi curled up into a ball under the covers.

Lu Beiting washed quickly, finishing in no time. When he came in, he saw her curled up in a ball, so he took off his clothes and huddled inside as well. In an instant, the blankets were filled with masculine energy. Soon, Xia Zhi relaxed and lay comfortably.

It's so nice to have someone warm your bed!
Lu Beiting slept soundly and fell asleep in no time.

Xia Zhi turned her back to him and entered the space. Then, following the manual next to her, she began to learn how to do a paternity test.

……

The next day, Xia Zhi went to town with Zhang Yuling and Li Qiao in an oxcart.

"Hey, Xia, I heard that after the Hao family and the Gu family left the residential compound, none of the surrounding villages would accept them, and they slunk away and disappeared without a trace."

Xia Zhi listened and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then maybe she's playing the victim in town."

Zhang Yuling snorted, "They have the nerve to do that? They're shameless."

Xia Zhi smiled and remained silent. If they had any sense of shame, they wouldn't have caused so much trouble.

As soon as the oxcart stopped, the group jumped off and saw several people carrying large and small bags not far away.

Zhang Yuling couldn't help but burst out laughing. Was Xia's mouth blessed?

Zhang Xiao and Chen Xiuping immediately turned their heads away when they saw them.

Hao Liping glared at Xia Zhi with hatred in her eyes, and Gu Yunshen beside her didn't look much better either.

They had been looking for a place to stay for a day and a night, but the villages near the residential compound didn't welcome them at all. They were now like rats in the street, hated by everyone.

If Xia Zhi hadn't insisted on making such a big fuss, they wouldn't have lost so much face.

Hao Dazhuang held up his bandaged hand and looked at Chen Xiuping, "Let's go find Lu Weifeng. I don't believe no one will help us."

Chen Xiuping nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's go quickly then."

If we stay here any longer, it will become the subject of people's gossip again.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering, the group didn't care about anything else. They picked up their things and headed to a secluded spot first.

Xia Zhi arrived at the market, went straight to the fruit stall, bought a bunch of fruit, and then sat down next to the oxcart to wait for everyone to arrive.

Just then, a car drove past from the side and then reversed a few seconds later.

Xia Zhi noticed a car blocking her view, frowned, looked up, and saw Qin Beishan's smug face.

"Xia Zhi, Xia Zhi, are you going back to the army? Hurry up and get on, I'll give you a ride!" Qin Beishan poked his head out and greeted him warmly.

"Zhi Zi, is she your friend?" Uncle Liu, who was holding a pipe next to him, was also taken aback by Qin Beishan's enthusiastic behavior.

Young people these days are so energetic.

"Haha, well, Uncle Liu, I'll be going now."

Xia Zhi opened the car door and threw the basket inside.

"Pfft!" Qin Beishan was startled and took a step back, but he was still hit. He clutched his chest in pain and huddled by the door.

After Xia Zhi got into the car, she quickly closed the door and looked at the driver in front of her with a puzzled expression. "What are you still standing there for? Let's go."

The driver turned to look at Qin Beishan, who rubbed his chest and sat up straight. "Let's go, let's go." This scene was witnessed by Hao Liping, who was holding two corn cakes and had just reached the intersection when she saw Xia Zhi get into a car. She also saw the man in the car, who was handsome and rich.

When did Xia Zhi come to know this kind of person?

Hao Liping glanced at the back of the car, her eyes darting around, before finally leaving with the corn cakes.

In the car, Xia Zhi looked at the young man next to her and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Qin Beishan smugly hummed, "I'm here to serve as a soldier on the border."

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhi looked him up and down, and indeed, he didn't seem like it at all.

"Don't underestimate my determination!" Sooner or later, he will pin Lu Beiting to the ground and beat him to a pulp!

Xia Zhi turned her head to look out the window without saying another word.

The group arrived at the military base quickly.

Xu Rufeng jogged over, glanced into the car, and paused when he saw Xia Zhi.

"sister in law."

"I got a ride, you guys chat." Xia Zhi got out of the car and took her things down.

Xu Rufeng looked away and exchanged messages with Qin Beishan, who watched as Xia Zhi entered the family compound.

She turned her head to look at him, "Comrade, is Lu Beiting here?"

Xu Rufeng looked at him with suspicion, "The battalion commander went on patrol."

This person came from the city, so they probably didn't get in through connections, since border control explicitly forbids people from using back channels.

Hearing that Lu Beiting wasn't there, Qin Beishan breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that he's not here, it's good that he's not here."

Xu Rufeng arranged for him to register and go to the dormitory.

Qin Beishan followed behind Fan Kun and glanced at the border defense layout. He sighed inwardly; it really was a tough job.

After arriving at the four-person dormitory, Qin Beishan put down his things and looked around. Although it was a bit lacking, it was still quite clean.

"Recruits, remember to assemble tomorrow."

After Fan Kun finished speaking, he walked out.

Xia Zhi carried a basket on her back and went straight up the mountain. As soon as she arrived, she saw a ball holding bananas in her hand.

As soon as the ball saw her, it ran over with a banana in its mouth.

Xia Zhi put down her basket, patted the ball's head, and said, "Go on, call them to come and collect their reward."

The ball disappeared from sight shortly after it climbed the tree. Xia Zhi leaned against the tree, picked up an apple, and started eating it. A few minutes later, she heard a noise behind her.

She turned around and saw the ball leading a group of little guys running towards her.

Looking at some familiar figures, they were clearly much fatter.

……

Li Jianguo hung up the phone, walked to the door with a solemn expression, and shouted through a megaphone:

"Bring Lu Beiting back, and assemble a small team. Also, quickly assemble a group of medical personnel. All those in charge, please arrange the personnel as soon as possible."

The ringing of bells mingled with the sound of hurried footsteps.

Xu Rufeng immediately led his men to the scene. Seeing Li Jianguo's unprecedentedly solemn expression, Xu Rufeng also felt uneasy.

"What exactly happened to the commander?"

Lu Beiting also spotted Xia Zhi as he descended the mountain. Seeing him running and covered in sweat, Xia Zhi picked up her basket and chased after him.
