Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1494: Chapter 1494: Dig Down Further

After all, the competition for the position of regiment leader within this unit was between just these two people.

Speculation is just speculation, and if things couldn’t be figured out, then they could only remain at the stage of speculation.

However, what made Hen Zhiyuan smart was that no matter how wildly others speculated behind his back, as long as the gossip didn’t reach his ears, he wouldn’t take the initiative to clarify.

As if he knew nothing about it all.

As if it all had nothing to do with him.

”You don’t like it, but what can you do? This time Qin Jian got into trouble, and it’s inseparable from the deputy regiment leader. But there’s no handle to catch. Now, it’s very likely he’ll get promoted again, and An Hao knows this and really feels quite displeased,” Yan Ye’s brows were almost knitted into large ink clusters.

”Bro, I’m telling you, you’ve always liked An Hao, right? Now your chance has come. If you make a good impression, maybe An Hao could become my sister-in-law in the future,” Yan Huan half-jokingly said.

”Don’t talk nonsense. You’re An Hao’s friend; mentioning this at a time like this would be heartbreaking for her if she heard it. Right now, I’m her teacher, and after work, I’ll be her friend and colleague. That kind of relationship you’re talking about, it’s impossible for us,” Yan Ye believed An Hao would never agree either.

As an observer, he knew very well what kind of relationship Qin Jian and An Hao had.

”Alright. For that remark alone, I’ll give you a round of applause,” Yan Huan said, looking at Yan Ye with an admiring gaze, ”You really are my brother. I was genuinely worried that after Qin Jian died, you would set your sights on An Hao!”

”Still my brother? What does this have to do with you?” Yan Ye raised an eyebrow at her, ”Don’t worry, I won’t have any designs on An Hao.”

”That’s a relief,” Yan Huan exhaled, ”An Hao and Qin Jian’s romance moved me. I really hoped they would be well. Now that Qin Jian is gone, as An Hao’s teacher friend, help her more, will you?”

”Do you even need to say that? Your nonsense seems particularly abundant tonight,” he found himself wanting to rest more and more, but Yan Huan kept dragging him into conversations.

”What I’m telling you isn’t nonsense. I overheard your phone call downstairs and I have a clue to offer you. I thought it might be useful. Don’t you all wish not to see Hen Zhiyuan get promoted? If you dig deeper into this matter, maybe you’ll uncover something unexpected,” Yan Huan said.

Yan Ye was worried, but hearing Yan Huan’s words, he instantly perked up: ”Let’s hear it.”

”I once inadvertently saw our dear Regiment Commander Hen and the daughter of Commander Guan tugging and pulling at each other,” Yan Huan said, a mischievous smile playing on her lips, ”Several of us sisters saw it.”

”Really? Are you sure you didn’t mistake the person?” Yan Ye asked, still uneasy.

”Of course. We aren’t blind; how could we mistake the person? It was under a street lamp. It was around eleven o’clock at night when we were coming back from outside and saw, not far from the entrance of the military residential compound, two people hugging and embracing. It should have been that woman, embracing Hen Zhiyuan,” Yan Huan felt shocked even now when she recalled it.

Such things were absolutely not allowed in the army.

Once discovered, it could truly ruin one’s future prospects.

Given Hen Zhiyuan’s special status and Guan Qing’s special status, perhaps this incident wouldn’t get Hen kicked out of the military if it came to light, but his promotion would undoubtedly be doomed.

She didn’t believe Commander Guan would turn a blind eye and keep quiet.
