--------------

Xie Jingchen, upon leaving the office, heard from his subordinates that District Chief Yan Rong had again gone to the review office to bail out Qi Chunlan.

Xie Jingchen paused in his stride and turned towards the review office.

The corners of his mouth, previously turned up, were now tightly pursed, his tiger-like eyes deep and inscrutable.

Yan Dongsheng was standing in the corridor, and upon Xie Jingchen’s arrival, he saw him.

The two men stood silently, looking at each other. Xie Jingchen’s pupils momentarily contracted before he took a step towards Yan Dongsheng.

"District Chief Yan Rong." Xie Jingchen steadied his mindset and saluted ’fairly,’ then called out in a low voice.

"..." Yan Dongsheng’s face collapsed for an instant, and seeing Xie Jingchen using a more distant title to address him, felt an immense sense of desolation.

Before his wife had erred, Xie Jingchen, considering Zhang Shan Ni’s origins, had an attitude of seriousness laced with closeness in their interactions. Now... it was just official business.

Yan Dongsheng revealed a self-mocking smile and nodded: "Vice Rongwei Commander Xie, I’ve come to bail out my wife."

Yes, just Yan Dongsheng’s wife. Not his mother-in-law, nor his daughter’s mother.

When Qi Chunlan made such a choice, she had already given up her identity in front of Zhang Shan Ni.

Regardless, the relationship between the two of them could no longer return to normal mother-daughter affection.

"Right, you’re busy, I won’t disturb you further." Xie Jingchen nodded, passing him by and entering the commander’s office at the end of the corridor.

Because of Tao Songjian’s special status, Xie Jingchen was somewhat wrathful nowadays. Thankfully, he was still a rational military doctor and wouldn’t directly confront people with such foolish outbursts of emotion.

He clearly expressed his ’hope’ that the Qi Chunlan incident would receive a fair trial and also voiced a refusal to let Qi Chunlan, under the guise of ’birth mother,’ approach his beloved little wife again.

Whatever Qi Chunlan’s intention was, her actions had endangered the personal safety of his wife Zhang Shan Ni, and he had the right to appeal and protect her.

He allowed Yan Dongsheng to bail out Qi Chunlan from the military immediately, indifferent to the outcome of the trial, with only one request: when she left the detention facility, to have the military personally ’escort’ her out of the troops, out of County X!

As a Rongwei himself, Xie Jingchen knew that given Qi Chunlan’s current mental condition, she could be bailed out under the pretence of ’mental disorder’ for medical treatment.

The military, considering Yan Dongsheng’s merits and rank, might politely seek Xie Jingchen’s opinion.

But a higher-ranked official could crush a lesser one, and after all, Yan Dongsheng was an active Rong District Chief, while he was just a minor Vice Rongwei Chief, not even having a proper conversational position!

His opinion was essentially like a fragile mirror, shattering at the slightest touch.

Face is only something you have when others give it to you; when they don’t, you’re not even anything at all.

This is the nature of hierarchy and class, such are the state of things in this country.

Yan Dongsheng watched the tall young Rongwei passing by him, but his mind was filled with the image of his daughter lying in the hospital bed, and of his emotionally distraught wife whom he had just visited.

After Qi Chunlan was detained once again by the Rongwei, she shook with fear. Her husband had assured her she could be bailed out, but in no more than five minutes, he had said, it was no longer possible.

Because Zhang Shan Ni was critically ill.

Upon hearing the news, Yan Dongsheng ran in disarray towards the Rong Medical Department, but the left-behind Qi Chunlan was momentarily stunned.
