Chapter 167 -166: An Apocalyptic Life from Scratch (40)
As soon as the words left Su Shu’s lips, Guozi, standing behind her, looked up, closed his eyes, and wore a face that screamed, “I’m done for.”
As soldiers, failing to stay at their posts and instead disturbing young women was no small matter. Political Commissar Qu Guo’an, who had been enjoying the spectacle, suddenly had his expression darken.
Seeing that Group Captain Tang Zelin wasn’t speaking, Qu Guo’an, adept at political work, took the initiative to step forward and inquire about the specifics.
Su Shu recounted everything in detail, from the way they had “seemingly inadvertently,” “with ulterior motives,” and “repeatedly” come to see her in front of her tent over the past two days.
After listening, Qu Guo’an had the same expression as Tang Zelin.
Qu Guo’an: “…”
He cursed inwardly, wondering if these rascals were itching for trouble!
After Su Shu finished speaking, she turned to ask Guozi, “Did I say anything wrong?”
Guozi, who wished he could hide himself, was suddenly dragged into the spotlight, facing the daunting gazes of the group captain and the political commissar. It was then he finally remembered where the crux of the problem lay.
“Well, it might… seem like… somewhat my fault,” Guozi said.
“Don’t hem and haw, speak clearly!” Tang Zelin commanded sternly.
Guozi, with a determined heart and a stomp of his foot, declared as if heading to his doom, “Before we set off with the group captain, I accidentally let something slip in the barracks with comrades from the guard company!”
Su Shu looked at him, puzzled. What sort of slip could turn her into a monkey on display?
“Clarify!” Tang Zelin was equally confused “?”
Guozi looked pleadingly at Qu Guo’an beside him.
Qu Guo’an was startled. “What are you looking at me for, kid? The group captain is asking you a question, so answer it quickly!”
“Political Commissar, you know it too, I really didn’t do it on purpose.”
“You’re trying to find backing even when you mess up? Speak up if you have something to say, and let it out if you’ve got something else!” Qu Guo’an berated him, exasperated.
Guozi sneaked a glance at his group captain’s frightening expression and took a couple of deep breaths.
“I said that the group captain’s wife lives right across from our corps headquarters!”
Those words, once uttered, shocked everyone present.
Qu Guo’an wore an “I see now” expression.
Ji Dong next to him was quite astonished.
With his head lowered, Guozi stared at his toes. Was he gonna die?
On the scene, two people looked at each other, stunned by his words, too shocked to react.
Tang Zelin looked at Su Shu across from him, and she likewise looked at him.

Eye to eye.
And silence…
An extraordinarily heavy silence…
It took quite a while before Su Shu realized what she had just heard.
The group captain’s wife…
Lived across the street?
Was that term “wife” referring to her?
They came to view her like a monkey… no, no, no… to see her because they mistakenly thought she was Tang Zelin’s…?
Beautiful eyes can speak volumes.
Tang Zelin, who had been paying close attention to Su Shu’s reaction, never imagined that even from such a distance, he could capture every nuanced emotion flashing through her eyes without missing a beat.
He too had been slightly stupefied by Guozi’s words just now.
However, he immediately remembered the words he had impulsively spoken the other night, staring at her silhouette in the dark, which did indeed come from his own lips.
If one were to trace the cause, it lay with him.
He initially wanted to explain, but upon seeing her beautiful eyes fluttering, with thoughts in her gaze taking eighteen different turns, he suddenly lost the desire to clarify.
He wanted to see how she would explain it.
What could Su Shu say?
She had no idea how this misunderstanding came about. Was it because she had met Tang Zelin outside the gym that day, and he had spoken a few extra words to her, causing his soldiers to misunderstand?
Could it just be a misunderstanding, as Guozi suggested?
