A whirlwind marriage with a high-ranking official: Lights out, don't force me to take the initi

Wang Hao ran into Lu Weidong in the afternoon and was told to come to his house for dinner that evening.

"Your sister-in-law is making braised pork. Thank you for helping me move the washing machine last time."

This made Wang Hao extremely happy, especially after hearing that he was invited to dinner that night.

This was the first time the battalion commander and his wife had formally invited people to their home for dinner.

Since Lu Weidong was both his superior and so respectful, Wang Hao naturally couldn't be impolite.

He deliberately left the camp early, detoured to the service station, intending to buy some fruit and pastries before visiting.

On the way to the service center, Wang Hao saw several people rushing in that direction, discussing amongst themselves as they ran:

"Quick! Something's happened inside!"

"A fight has broken out!"

"Su Ran's sister beat someone to the ground and smashed the glass counter!"

Wang Hao's eyes widened in surprise.

Su Ran?

He knew this person well; she was a favorite in the division's propaganda department.

She comes from a powerful family and is outstanding herself, making her a "female version of Lu Weidong" in the compound.

In this almost entirely male environment, the number of male soldiers who admire her could form a reinforced company.

Wang Hao used to think that Su Ran was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

But it wasn't until he met Ye Wenxi that he realized what it meant to be outmatched and have a higher level of understanding.

Ye Wenxi lay amidst the chaos, her body covered in shards of glass.

Su Yue stood to the side, her face deathly pale.

"You...you stop pretending to be dead! Get up right now!"

The old saleswoman who had been trying to break up the fight was now really angry. Pointing at her, she exclaimed, "You comrade! How could you hit someone so hard?!"

"This is the service center for military families! No matter who you are, isn't it going too far to assault a military family member here!"

The area was already surrounded by layers upon layers of people, making it impossible to move.

"Isn't this Battalion Commander Lu's wife? What's she doing lying here?"

"Oh dear, what a tragedy... Battalion Commander Lu dotes on his wife."

"I heard from the clinic that her wife still has a high fever, and Battalion Commander Lu was extremely worried about her the night before last!"

Ye Wenxi lay amidst the shattered glass, her eyes closed, unmoving no matter who gently shook or called her.

"He's not responding! Quick! Go get a doctor! Get a stretcher!" someone shouted frantically.

Wang Hao pushed his way through the crowd, and as soon as he peeked out, he saw that familiar figure.

"sister in law!!"

Wang Hao exclaimed in surprise, his mind went blank, and he rushed forward in one stride.

He squatted down and subconsciously pinched Ye Wenxi's philtrum.

"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, wake up!"

Ye Wenxi cursed inwardly: Stop pinching me, damn it! It hurts like hell! I'm lying here acting, Wang Hao, don't you dare mess this up!

Wang Hao suddenly looked up and let out a loud shout that made everyone's eardrums go numb.

"Who did this?!"

His face flushed red, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

This shout startled Su Yue, who was standing next to him, so much that she trembled all over.

"Her!" The old sales clerk immediately pointed at Su Yue, his hands trembling with anger.

"She pushed me! How could a young girl be so rough!"

The surrounding crowd began to stir, and the pointing and whispering grew louder.

"That's right, you absolutely shouldn't lay a hand on someone!"

"Look what happened to him!"

"How are we going to explain this to Battalion Commander Lu when he returns...?"

Seeing that the situation was completely turning against her, Su Yue quietly moved her heels back, trying to slip towards the door.

Wang Hao's eyes sharpened, and he yelled at the person next to him, "Go call the doctor! Hurry up!"

"Someone has already gone and will be there soon."

He caught a glimpse of Su Yue trying to run away.

He rushed forward immediately and grabbed Su Yue's wrist with his large, iron-like hand.

"You're not leaving! We're not going anywhere until we've explained things clearly!"

Su Yue was in pain from his grip, and she was both shocked and frightened, so she struggled desperately.

"Let go! Let go of me!"

She was genuinely panicked; she just wanted to vent her anger and say a few sarcastic remarks.

Who would have thought it would escalate to this point?

Ye Wenxi silently prayed: I hope the doctor doesn't arrive too early.

She needs to stay here a little longer.

If she doesn't make this a public spectacle and cause a stir, then her tactic will be considered a failure.

Wang Hao looked around and his gaze settled on the old-fashioned dial telephone in the corner of the service center.

He ran quickly and dialed the direct line to Lu Weidong's military headquarters office.

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

Wang Hao gritted his teeth, his fingers flying across the dial pad, and this time he dialed directly the dedicated line to Commander Chen Yuanchuan's office.

The division commander is assigned a communications assistant, so he can always reach someone by phone.

At this moment, the atmosphere was harmonious in the small conference room at the division headquarters, where military maps were displayed.

Lu Weidong was having a lively conversation with Zhou Xuchen, while Commander Chen and several department heads accompanying them also had smiles on their faces.

The group had just finished discussing the testing details of the new equipment when the meeting ended, and they were exchanging pleasantries as they walked out together.

As soon as they stepped out of the conference room, Commander Chen's communications assistant hurriedly approached them, lowering his voice:

"Commander, Wang Hao, the company commander of the 2nd Battalion of the Independent Regiment, has an urgent matter and specifically asked to see Battalion Commander Lu."

"He said he called the battalion headquarters but no one answered, and the situation was urgent, so he was transferred to me through the switchboard."

Upon hearing that it was Wang Hao, Chen Yuanchuan assumed it was an urgent matter concerning training or equipment in the camp, and jokingly teased Lu Weidong:

"That Wang Hao from your battalion, he's just like you, a real hothead."

"Tell him I'm in an important meeting with Director Zhou right now, what could be more urgent? Tell him to wait."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Weidong's brows furrowed.

Wang Hao is not someone who doesn't know what's important.

He actually bypassed the battalion headquarters and came directly to us, even alarming the division commander's communications assistant.

Lu Weidong's heart sank, and he looked directly at his assistant: "What exactly did he say?"

"It's...about the family compound."

The communications assistant hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Chen Yuanchuan.

Chen Yuanchuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately thought of Ye Wenxi.

The last time the girl came to our house for dinner, he was very impressed with her; she was poised, kind, and ambitious.

Chen Yuanchuan was already furious because someone in his unit had caused trouble and wronged him.

Why did something happen again after only two days of peace?

Ignoring the occasion, he urgently asked, "What happened? Explain yourself!"

Seeing Lu Weidong's face darken instantly, the communications officer dared not hesitate any longer and quickly spoke.

"Commander Lu's family member was assaulted at the service center, pushed over, and smashed the counter. He is currently... unconscious."

"What?!"

Before the correspondent could finish speaking, Lu Weidong had already dashed towards the stairwell like an arrow released from a bow.

"Wait! Weidong! Get in the car! Get in the car!" Chen Yuanchuan quickly took off after him, shouting back, "Xiao Feng! Call the driver!"

Zhou Xuchen, who had been silently observing, stepped forward and said calmly and decisively, "Stop looking! The vehicle the army assigned to me is downstairs; I'll drive it!"

As he spoke, he took long strides and dashed off.

In the office of the propaganda department of the division headquarters.

Su Ran was absentmindedly sketching the title of the blackboard bulletin.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a colleague rushed in.

"Su Ran! Quick! Your sister is getting into a fight at the service center!"
