The military wife is pregnant and the tycoon, who has no heir, spoils her rotten.

Chapter 184 Trouble in Nanfang
After Zhang Yi arrived at the school, he asked the gatekeeper for directions to Lu Beiting and Xia Zhi, then rushed over and finally found the two of them, panting heavily.

"Something terrible has happened! Something's happened in Nanfang!"

Xia Zhi and Lu Beiting, who were picking out clothes, suddenly stopped.

"what happened?"

"The commander just called Brother Li and said something happened in Nanfang. They suspect that Li Baozhu led his men back and bombed several places, killing many people."

"These beasts."

Lu Beiting put down the clothes in his hand. "Xiaxia, you stay here safely. Brother Li and I will go back. Zhang Yi will stay with you for the next few days and stay at school."

Lu Beiting kissed her forehead and then left in a hurry.

Xia Zhi looked at his retreating figure and felt a pang of worry.

"Sister-in-law, let me take you home. Don't worry, I'll let you know as soon as I hear any news."

Xia Zhi nodded and went back to school under Zhang Yi's escort.

"Zhang Yi, you can go back now. I won't wander off. There are also Commander Liang's men nearby, so you don't need to worry about me."

Xia Zhi turned to look at Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi thought for a moment and then nodded, "Okay, sister-in-law, please be careful. I'll go back now and come back tomorrow."

Zhang Yi jogged back as he spoke.

Just then, Cai Yong'an slowly walked towards Xia Zhi with a person in tow.

"Xia, it's good that you're here. I have some good news for you. This is Professor Jiang Hai, who is in charge of the school's research projects. If you are interested in this, you can contact him anytime. You can also keep in touch with him."

Xia Zhi glanced at the person behind him.

The man saw a smile appear on his lips, then nodded. "Dr. Xia, I've heard so much about you."

"Professor Jiang, you are too kind. I am just a junior, and I will need your guidance in the future."

Xia Zhi smiled, but in her heart she felt that Jiang Hai in front of her was a bit strange. Although he was smiling, the smile didn't reach his eyes, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were also odd.

However, after exchanging greetings, Jiang Hai left with Cai Yong'an.

Xia Zhi didn't pay much attention to it, but she was worried about Nanfang and wondered how everyone was doing.

……

"Xu Rufeng, you must hold on! Waaah, if only Dr. Shen and Xia Zhi were here."

Su Yating used trembling hands to stop the bleeding from Xu Rufeng's wounds.

Xu Rufeng was hit by the blast and was in a daze. Looking at the people in front of him, he felt bitter. Many of his teammates had died to protect him, and now he didn't even have the chance to take them home.

Su Yating was so frightened that her hands trembled. She kept telling herself to stay calm and started thinking about the quick first aid tips Xia Zhi had mentioned.

In a panic, she grabbed a bottle from the medicine box. Xia Zhi had said it was for stopping bleeding, but she didn't know if it would work. She could only give it to him for now.

Su Yating gritted her teeth and dragged Xu Rufeng toward a safe area, then waited for reinforcements, checking Xu Rufeng's breathing all the while.

"Xu Rufeng, hang in there! Don't scare me!" Su Yating noticed that Xu Rufeng's breathing was getting weaker and weaker, and she burst into tears.

Looking around, she saw corpses lying in the ruins. The medical staff she had brought were gone, and all her comrades who had come with Xu Rufeng had been attacked and killed.

……

Xia Zhi was preoccupied and couldn't sleep all night, tossing and turning. Before dawn, she sat up and waited for Zhang Yi's message. When Zhang Yi arrived, he seemed a bit off.

Xia Zhi's heart skipped a beat. "Zhang Yi, what's wrong?"

Zhang Yi's eyes immediately reddened. "Xu Rufeng was ambushed on his way to provide support. Apart from him and Dr. Su, everyone else died. Xu Rufeng was seriously injured, and we don't know if he can make it through."

After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he immediately turned his head away, feeling extremely sad. Those who died were his comrades-in-arms who had trained together, and also his family members.

Xia Zhi's mind immediately conjured up images of those young, sunny, and determined boys, and her eyes instantly filled with tears.

"The eldest brother and Brother Li went back to provide support. I wonder how the commander is doing now."

Zhang Yi felt extremely distressed as he spoke.

They are too far away, and they don't know if the leaders will be able to wait.

"It's alright, everything will be alright. Is there any way to treat Zhang Yi and Xu Rufeng's injuries?"

Zhang Yi lowered his head in frustration, then shook his head. "No."

Xia Zhi's breath hitched, and she sat down, her face pale.

"Sister-in-law, the eldest brother and the others have gone back. They'll be fine. Don't worry too much. Just take care of yourself."

Zhang Yi composed himself and comforted Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi nodded, but she didn't quite understand what Zhang Yi said afterward. It wasn't until the surroundings quieted down that she gradually came to her senses.

Looking at her two young children, she felt a pang of helplessness. She couldn't go back; she would only be a burden if she did.

……

"Boss, Li Baozhu has made quite a fuss this time, which may be detrimental to us."

"Hmph, Nanfang and Beijing are so far apart. As the saying goes, distant water can't quench a nearby fire. By the time Lu Beiting and the others get back, it will probably be over by now."

As for Baozhu, it's alright. She's been holding in her anger; letting her vent is good for her.

"Yes, boss. Xia Zhi is all alone, and Lu Beiting has already gone back. Let's take this opportunity and go all out..."

"You don't need to worry about Wang Wencong's matter. I'd like to see what's so special about Xia Zhi. If she can be used by me, heh, that would be a good thing."

That would be even better than the pearl.

Wang Wencong looked at the person in front of him, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. Xia Zhi, that woman, had rejected his invitation, causing him to incur the displeasure of the principal and several professors after his return. Now, they were all openly and secretly ostracizing him.

It really pissed him off.

Even he values ​​Xia Zhi so much now, what's so good about this woman?

"Boss, that woman isn't anything special. She's just a bit more outstanding than her peers. It's not worth the risk for you, Boss. If Lu Beiting and Liang Huai'an find out something's wrong, we might have a hard time getting out of here."

Wang Wencong, being afraid of death, tried to dissuade him, saying that if the matter were exposed, it would not do him any good.

His reputation, built up over the years, will be ruined, and he may even have to pay the price for it.

"Tsk, I told you I have my own considerations. Wang Wencong, don't forget that all your achievements today are thanks to me. What I say goes."

Wang Wencong's expression changed, and then he said in a low voice, "Yes, boss, but when will you give me the research results this time? The time has been a bit long, and they are already urging me to submit them."

"I'll give it to you in the next few days. Don't worry, it'll be a good opportunity for me to test Xia Zhi's abilities."

The man narrowed his eyes. If Xia Zhi was better, why not choose someone even more outstanding?
