Chapter 358 He...can't laugh anymore

Zhu Kaixuan, as Bai Nuo's biological father, naturally knew that she had moved to the single dormitory assigned to her by the bureau. However, he had just returned to the Kyoto Military Region to serve as the commander of the 318th Group Army. He had only been in office for two days and was already extremely busy.

There was no other way. In order to provide my daughter with a more reliable and stable life in the future, I had to suppress my idea of ​​personally helping her move and work hard in the military region without complaint.

Based on Zhu Kaixuan's achievements, he could have easily been appointed as the commander of a major military region upon his return, which would have been a solid rank of general in a major military region according to his previous position.

However, given his age, he was the youngest among the commanders, let alone the commanders of the major military regions, who were all contemporaries of Old Master Zhu.

Another reason is that Zhu Kaixuan is not only young, but also has been away from the political power circle for more than ten years. He still needs time to adapt and coordinate with many things. In the end, the senior officials unanimously decided to hold him back for two years. At the same time, the current situation is unclear, and it is not a good thing for him to stand out too much. That's why Zhu Kaixuan was placed in the position of commander of a major military region group army.

Fortunately, the 719th Regiment, where Fang Meng and Bai Nuo belong, is an independent regiment with its own independent combat system, not under the management of any army group. Otherwise, Zhu Kaixuan probably wouldn't be able to work so peacefully and diligently as he does now.

After all, in his mind, even if his daughter joined the military, she should be a technical staff member stationed in the rear, just like her father-in-law, and an unofficial technician at that. Otherwise, how could she have become a criminal investigation technician in the Public Security Bureau?

Therefore, those things about going to the battlefield to kill the enemy have nothing to do with his precious daughter.

"Report!"

A strong voice rang out from outside the door, and the tall man behind the desk didn't even have time to lift his head before simply replying.

"Enter!"

Zhu Xin pushed open the door and entered. Seeing that there was no one else in the office, he quickly turned around and closed the door. The young officer, who had just been upright and serious, quickly changed his expression and put on a smug smile before swaggering over.

"Can't you be a little more serious? After so many years in the army, how come you still act like a thug? How can your men respect you like this!" Zhu Kaixuan never looked up, but just by listening to his nephew's footsteps, he knew that this kid was a scoundrel.

The third son in the family was the most proper among his brothers, second only to the eldest. His appearance, demeanor, and military qualities were exemplary enough to serve as a model for the entire military region. Yet, his son always looked like he deserved a beating. It's unclear who he took after.

Feeling slighted, Zhu Laoliu curled his lip, pulled up a chair and plopped down, tugging at his shirt collar. Without a hint of fear, he said, "Uncle, you're wrong. I've heard my grandpa say since I was little that of us brothers, you're the most like me, especially after I joined the army. The way I talk and act is exactly like you were when you were a teenager. As my eldest uncle would say, you're either a soldier or a bandit. How can you look down on yourself? Besides..."

Zhu Xin leaned forward with a smile, looking at his uncle with a sharp gaze, and said something that really stung: "You've just come back, so you don't know. If we're talking about the most notorious troublemaker in our military region, it's definitely your future son-in-law. You're looking down on me now, but when you see your future son-in-law in the military region, remember to look down on him in front of him too."

Zhu Kaixuan paused, took a deep breath, and finally looked up, his lips pressed tightly together, his gaze cold as he looked at his sixth nephew.

Everyone in the Zhu family knows that his daughter doesn't really like her biological father. Besides, Fang's son holds a place in her heart that's no less important than Bai Yukai. Now that the two kids are dating, given their upbringing, the depth of their feelings, and the relationship between their parents, these two kids will probably never be separated. Getting married is just a matter of time.

So let alone this girl, he wouldn't dare to offend her, he wouldn't even dare to offend his future son-in-law, whom he didn't quite like.

Zhu Kaixuan has lived for over thirty years and has always been exceptionally tough since childhood. When he was a teenager, he even dared to fight back against his own wife. Although he never actually fought her, the fact that he fought back was enough to prove his toughness.

He couldn't muster any toughness when facing his daughter.

But this short thing is not something this brat can do!

"Did your grandfather ever tell you that I even beat up your father back then?"

"ah?"

Zhu Xin didn't react for a moment, and then he saw his uncle, who, although he usually didn't smile much, was very gentle with the younger generation, slowly stand up and pull out his belt the next second.

"Ouch! Oh no!!"

"...I was wrong, Uncle, I was wrong!!"

"Holy crap, ouch!! That hurts, I'm sorry!"

Five minutes later, Zhu Kaixuan slowly fastened his military belt. Behind him, a large huddle was huddled in the corner, rubbing his arms pitifully. If you looked closely, you could see a bright red mark on his left cheek.

Zhu Kaixuan sat back down in his office chair and glanced at him with disdain: "You're so slow to dodge. Is this why you've never beaten Xiaomeng in every military region competition? I heard that because of this, the military region staged a play, and you were tricked into coming in last place by Yu Kai and Xiao Zhou."

"Those two are heartless beasts!" Zhu Xin protested.

He admitted he couldn't beat Fang Meng; that thing wasn't human, and he didn't know how it trained. It ran like the wind, and its attacks were ruthless and vicious.
