682: No matter what schemes or tricks they use, they will not succeed.

Although Xiao Niannian was focused on the assessment area for the Womens Team members, her gaze also swept toward the assessment areas of the other Third Teams, where she saw Chief Qiao continuously observing the various team assessments.

Seeing his look of disbelief, Xiao Niannian smiled.

Chief Qiao looked like he wanted to find fault, but there were no faults to find.

No wonder Old Gu had simply glanced at him and hadn't refused when Chief Qiao initially decided to come over.

So, Old Gu did it on purpose, digging a trap for him to jump into?

And Xiao Niannian, the daughter found outside, deliberately confronting him in public just to embarrass him?

Looking at Xiao Niannian's face, which bore some resemblance to Old Gu's, he remained suspicious, believing she was an imposter brought back from outside by Old Gu and the others.

However, that Wang Yi was definitely Old Gu's wife.

If he wanted to expose this matter, he couldn't just go directly to the Commanders and say it; that would be politically inappropriate.

For this kind of thing, he could send people to spread rumors, but he couldn't say it himself.

Alternatively, when Wang Yi arrived in Yangcheng, he could arrange to run into her with witnesses, exposing the matter in front of the other Commanders.

Or, he could let Zhang Fu and the others expose it, which would conveniently spread the news.

Zhang Fu had already arrived at the Military Unit Guesthouse closest to the Training Base.

This time, she also brought her daughter, Zhang Xiaorou.

It was currently the summer vacation, so it was the perfect time to bring Zhang Xiaorou over to broaden her horizons.

Zhang Fu planned for her daughter, Zhang Xiaorou, to marry either Gu Yuan or Gu Jin.

They came this time under the guise of delivering gifts from Old Master Zhang and Old Madam Zhang to their Maternal Granddaughter.

Over three consecutive days of assessment, the performance of the regular Team Members of the Special Forces Brigade was excellent.

Xiao Niannian received the scores of all the Team Members.

A small portion of people scored average, and their overall evaluation was unqualified. These individuals would be sent back to their original Military Units.

Their Womens Team also had five spots that needed to be returned.

After the assessment concluded, certificates of merit were immediately issued.

The top three in each subject received a certificate of merit, along with a fountain pen and a notebook. This time, the comrade who achieved the most first-place finishes only managed two subjects, unlike Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing, who were All-Round Kings.

“After the assessment, everyone will head to the cafeteria for dinner later. We've prepared extra dishes for everyone today...”

The Team Members below cheered enthusiastically.

Xiao Niannian walked toward the cafeteria.

After only a few steps, she saw her father's Guard running toward her, and Xiao Niannian stopped.

“Captain Xiao, the Chief is looking for you.”

“Alright.”

Xiao Niannian brought Chief Gu to her dormitory.

“Dad, have some tea.”

Xiao Niannian brewed a cup of tea for her father.

“Good. You sit down too.”

Chief Gu's expression was somewhat serious.

“Your mother didn't come, did she?”

Hearing her father's words, Xiao Niannian shook her head.

“I spoke to Mom; she won't come.”

Hearing this, Chief Gu nodded.

“Dad received news that Zhang Fu brought Zhang Xiaorou here, claiming to deliver things to you from your Maternal Grandparents.”

This trick again. Zhang Fu wasn't tired of it, but Xiao Niannian was tired of watching it.

Xiao Niannian smiled.

“She doesn't just want to expose Mom's identity in front of everyone; she also wants to scheme against you, Dad.” Xiao Niannian looked at her father.

Although he was over fifty years old, he was still so handsome. It was as if these past dozen years hadn't left much trace on her father's face.

And Mom, Mom truly looked like her sister now.

No wonder Dad was so excited when he saw Mom back then, recognizing her immediately as his wife.

“Dad won't have any contact with Zhang Fu. No matter what scheme or trick they use, it won't succeed...”

Chief Gu smiled and rubbed his daughter's head.

He had seen and experienced too many things over the years. There had been several times when others tried to scheme against him, and he wasn't the kind of fool who would let himself be manipulated.

Lu Jing returned with food.

Xiao Niannian stepped forward, ready to help.

Lu Jing said with a smile.

“Wife, go chat with Dad. Xiao Cui and I have this covered.”

Chief Gu's Guard also stepped forward to help.

Xiao Niannian withdrew her hand.

Chief Gu also surveyed his daughter's place, seeing that the inside was extremely clean, and the room's arrangement was warm and attractive.

The items in the living room were nice, with several throw pillows placed on the sofa, looking very similar to the decor of his daughter's wedding room in the Capital City.

Chief Gu leaned back on the sofa, feeling that this type of sofa was indeed much better looking than the old-fashioned leather ones.

Soon after, they started eating.

Chief Qiao noticed that Chief Gu hadn't come to the cafeteria, so he signaled to one of his subordinates.

“Captain Chen, why didn't Chief Gu come for dinner?”

Captain Chen heard this and replied cheerfully.

“Chief Gu sent someone over just now to say he had other arrangements.”

Other arrangements? Could it be that the woman from Hong Kong City had arrived?

He couldn't eat anymore. After taking a few bites, he returned to the Guesthouse.

But back at the Guesthouse, he made a call and found that Wang Yi hadn't arrived.

He decided to send someone to see Zhang Fu, arranging for Zhang Fu and Old Gu to meet precisely when Wang Yi arrived.

Alternatively, at the Guesthouse, he could have Zhang Fu knock on Old Gu's door. Then, as soon as the door opened, he would bring people to witness it in the hallway, and then... If Wang Yi found out about this, she might rush over immediately. Then, if Wang Yi and Zhang Fu started fighting, the matter would escalate, and everyone else would know.

In short, since he came all this way, he had to get the job done.

Zhang Fu had been there for two days, meticulously getting dressed up. She hoped to run into Chief Gu by chance, but unexpectedly, she hadn't encountered her brother-in-law for two consecutive days.

She also wanted to see Wang Yi. Last time she saw Wang Yi, she hadn't performed well, but this time, she was determined to expose Wang Yi's true face and let everyone know that Wang Yi was Zhang Yun. This way, Zhang Yun would never have a chance to be with her brother-in-law again.

Even if her brother-in-law liked Zhang Yun, it would be impossible for him to be with Zhang Yun.

At that time, the Commanders above would also demand that her brother-in-law find someone new or completely sever ties with Zhang Yun!

If she couldn't have him, Zhang Yun wouldn't get him either.

“Mom, we've been stuck here for two days. When can we go out and look around?”

Zhang Xiaorou said unhappily.

She didn't know what her mother was trying to do, but she was very annoyed having stayed here for two days.

The food at the Guesthouse wasn't good either. She wanted to go to the State-run Restaurant for something delicious.

“The matter hasn't been handled yet, so don't rush me. If you want to eat something, just pay someone to go buy it...”

Zhang Fu said somewhat unhappily.

She couldn't leave this place. If she left, she might miss him if her brother-in-law returned.

That person had said that as long as she knocked on the door, and outsiders witnessed it, she could succeed just by saying a few words.

Hearing her mother's scolding, Zhang Fu thought about seeking out Xiao Niannian.

She was about to graduate from university and had been assigned a good job.

She heard that Xiao Niannian was doing very well in the Military Unit, and she figured it must be because of her Uncle's influence.
