Chapter 25: Delicate Skin and Tender Flesh

His resolute words carried an irresistible aura, sending a chill down Chu Ning’s spine.

Confused by the series of inexplicable events, Chu Ning traced the source back to the apartment she rented.

She decided to move out.

But unexpectedly, she dreamt that Fu Yuzhou was chasing after her into her room?

Chu Ning felt dazed, unsure if Fu Yuzhou had really come looking for her.

All she knew was that she was scared.

Tang Siqi comforted Chu Ning, “Don’t scare yourself. They say dreams are the opposite of reality.

So, that man will definitely not appear in our world.”

“I just want to know what went wrong?”

“Let’s not talk about this now. Let’s sleep first, and I’ll help you think about it tomorrow.”

Tang Siqi was very sleepy, her mind was a complete mess, and she was incapable of helping Chu Ning think.

Chu Ning looked at Tang Siqi, whose eyes were so sleepy she could barely keep them open.

Since her time travel, Tang Siqi had been working during the day and staying with her mother at night, so tired that she seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

Chu Ning felt sorry for Tang Siqi, “Okay, let’s sleep.”

“Mm.”

Tang Siqi fell asleep immediately, but Chu Ning was completely sleepless.

The club.

In a dimly lit private room.

Zhou Chenhao entered and blocked Shen Linfeng, who was kissing a woman.

He coldly ordered the woman in Shen Linfeng’s arms, “Get out.”

Shen Linfeng, having finished a business deal and drunk some alcohol, was enjoying some intimacy with his new girlfriend when he was interrupted.

He held the woman in his arms, looked up at Zhou Chenhao, his peach blossom eyes filled with provocation.

“Don’t go, she’s my woman, no one can chase her away without my permission.”

The next second, with a glance from Zhou Chenhao, the bodyguards behind him directly took the woman out of Shen Linfeng’s arms.

Shen Linfeng stood up abruptly and grabbed Zhou Chenhao’s collar.

“Zhou Chenhao, what the hell are you doing? I’m playing with my woman, not yours.”

Zhou Chenhao didn’t speak, grabbed Shen Linfeng’s wrist, and threw him away.

“Before I take action, you better tell me who the man hidden by Chu Ning is?”

Zhou Chenhao gritted his teeth, seemingly suppressing his anger.

Shen Linfeng, drunk and unsteady, supported himself on the sofa to stand straight.

“Chu Ning hiding a man? Haha, Zhou Chenhao, are you kidding me? The man in my cousin’s heart, the whole world knows it’s you, how dare you say she’s hiding a man?”

Shen Linfeng and Zhou Chenhao both moved in the same circles, and Chu Ning knew Zhou Chenhao through Shen Linfeng.

Shen Linfeng knew everything about Zhou Chenhao and Chu Ning.

For this reason, Shen Linfeng felt sorry for his cousin.

Zhou Chenhao’s womanizing was one thing.

But he had no right to question Chu Ning.

Zhou Chenhao clearly didn’t believe him, “Don’t beat around the bush, Shen Linfeng, I don’t have much patience.”

Zhou Chenhao was certain that Chu Ning’s attitude towards him had changed.

The only possibility was that she had another man.

Moreover, Chu Ning had said tonight that she had been at her aunt’s house during her disappearance.

Therefore, he immediately thought that the person who had changed Chu Ning and provided her with resources might be Chu Ning’s cousin, Shen Linfeng.

He had a reputation for womanizing, but he knew he was quite clean in his personal life.

But Shen Linfeng was different. He not only had a reputation for womanizing, but he was truly a womanizer, changing girlfriends every few days.

Sleep with them and then dump them.

So, given his fickle nature, Chu Ning staying at his house for a day would be ruined by him.

Shen Linfeng knew about Chu Ning’s recent runaway, and from Zhou Chenhao’s words, he guessed what Zhou Chenhao meant.

“I’m not taking the blame for this, Zhou Chenhao, you wouldn’t think that my cousin’s disappearance was because I found her a man and she eloped with him, would you?”

With that, Shen Linfeng laughed sarcastically, “Don’t you hate my cousin? You hate her clinging to you the most. Now that she’s gone, you should be happy.

Oh, by the way, I heard that you were caught having a room with a little internet celebrity, and my cousin found out about it, and because of this, she completely broke up with you and called off the engagement?

Dude, we’re the same kind of people, we hate women clinging to us the most. Since Chu Ning decided to leave, just let her go.

Don’t pretend to be affectionate, it’s not like you, not at all like the playboy Zhou Shao’s style. Honestly, I really look down on you like this.”

“Bang.”

Almost the moment Shen Linfeng finished speaking, Zhou Chenhao’s fist landed on his face.

Shen Linfeng, whose head was already muddled, immediately fell onto the sofa after being punched by Zhou Chenhao.

“You son of a bitch, Zhou Chenhao, you bastard, I look down on you, what’s the point of hitting me? If you have the guts, care about Chu Ning, go chase her.”

Shen Linfeng mumbled drunkenly, and after a while, he passed out.

Seeing this, Zhou Chenhao instructed the bodyguard, “Take him away, don’t let him go until he confesses.”

“Yes.”

In the black Rolls Royce.

After Zhou Chenhao got in the car, his assistant handed him the investigation materials.

“Mr. Zhou, I’ve investigated, recently, Madam hasn’t contacted Chu Junxia, and her recent contacts, besides you, are only Madam and Tang Siqi.

Therefore, the possibility of Madam having an affair is very low, and it’s impossible for her to be with a man during her disappearance.”

“Then where could she have gone?”

Zhou Chenhao asked his assistant with a sullen face.

Suddenly, the assistant was stumped, “This, this I don’t know.”

“If you don’t know, find out, or get lost.”

Zhou Chenhao was incredibly frustrated.

“Yes, yes, yes.”

The special assistant could only reluctantly agree.

•  

The next day.

The bright sun shone on the Red Light Brigade, and because of the rain last night, the air was exceptionally fresh.

The fresh smell of soil and trees permeated the entire militia camp.

After the deputy battalion commander assembled the militia, he handed the three thousand-word self-criticism papers collected from the recruits to Fu Yuzhou.

“Battalion Commander, the self-criticism papers you asked us to write.”

Sitting in the training room, Fu Yuzhou flipped through the results of yesterday’s physical training, casually saying, “Put them down.”

“Okay.”

After Chen Mo put down the self-criticism papers, he quickly scanned the training ground and asked Fu Yuzhou, “Battalion Commander, you called your cousin Fu Chen here to experience militia life, why isn’t he here?

Are you too soft-hearted to let him, with his delicate skin and tender flesh, train with us rough old men?”

When Chen Mo was called over by Fu Yuzhou last night, he saw Chu Ning dressed as a man in a military uniform, and he really mistook her for Fu Yuzhou’s cousin Fu Chen.

At first glance, he thought ‘Fu Chen’ was very white. A man raised in the countryside was really different from those in their village, looking more delicate than a woman.

After speaking, Chen Mo bumped Fu Yuzhou with his shoulder, “Tell me honestly, Battalion Commander, did your second aunt raise Fu Chen as a girl since childhood, that’s why he’s so white?

Or is your cousin Fu Chen actually a girl?”
