Gao Yitian angrily slammed the table and yelled at Yeh Bai, "Shut up now and let her speak!"

He pointed at Gu Xiaoxi, his thick eyebrows shooting up, so furious that he was practically gasping for air.

Gu Xiaoxi leaned on the table, propping up her chin with her hands, her eyes twinkling like stars as she blinked, "What does the company commander want me to say? Whatever I’ve done, I believe everyone has seen.

I have nothing to explain. If you want to release me, then do so; if not, please arrange a place for me to sleep tonight. Just don’t lock me up with him."

"Gu Xiaoxi, how dare you despise me?" Yeh Bai clutched his chest, feeling an intense pain.

"I despise you for talking too much!" Gu Xiaoxi found that Yeh Bai always became talkative when he was nervous. She had pinpointed his weakness.

Yeh Bai instantly deflated! Indeed, he was nervous at that moment, "I really have two surgeries tomorrow morning. If they are delayed, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Gu Xiaoxi blinked her large eyes and then made a decision.

She patted Yeh Bai on the shoulder and looked at Gao Yitian, "How about you let him go first, and I stay behind?"

Gao Yitian thought for a moment, sizing up Yeh Bai for a while before turning his gaze to Gu Xiaoxi.

Speaking of Yeh Bai, he indeed wasn’t under the jurisdiction of the military unit. Gao had met him several times before and recognized him. Moreover, it was Gu Xiaoxi who caused trouble today, not Yeh Bai.

"Fine, you can go! Leave her here, she won’t be allowed to leave until she agrees to a body search. The military dogs chased after you, which means you’ve hidden something on your person," Gao Yitian said seriously, with a stern expression.

"I won’t go. She stood in for my confession today; how can I leave her behind and walk away myself?" Yeh Bai leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, looking extremely loyal.

Gu Xiaoxi gazed at him, saw the seriousness in his eyes, and gave a slight smile. She hadn’t worried about him in vain.

"Why are you staring at me? If we go, we go together! If the surgeries aren’t done and someone dies, let the responsibility be on you," Yeh Bai said angrily.

Gu Xiaoxi smiled gently, she stretched out her hand to beckon Yeh Bai with her fingers, and whispered something in his ear. Afterwards, a glint of understanding flashed through Yeh Bai’s eyes, and he nodded knowingly.

Yeh Bai looked up to see Gao Yitian staring at him, and stood up from his seat with a smile, "Alright! I’ll be going first! But you bunch of men better not bully my Xiao Xi."

Gao Yitian was annoyed, "Either you leave or don’t leave at all."

Yeh Bai exchanged a glance with Gu Xiaoxi and ran off like a streak of smoke.

Gu Xiaoxi propped her head with her hands, waiting for Yeh Bai to leave.

Only then did she turn to Gao Yitian, speaking indifferently, "I have nothing on me; naturally, I won’t let you search me."

All the military dogs chased after her. They must suspect that she was carrying drugs.

Although cooperating wouldn’t cost her anything, she didn’t like being stripped for inspections, especially ones that were pointless.

"You..." Gao Yitian’s face changed upon hearing her words, "Today you broke into the Military Dog Base without authorization. If you don’t prove your innocence, you will not be allowed to leave. Tell me which company you’re from, and call your company commander here.

Roaming around during training period. Private, do you even understand what you are doing?

" Gao Yitian’s thick eyebrows and large eyes gave him a fierce look, especially when he was angry.

Gu Xiaoxi pursed her lips, her expression turning slightly cold. She was frustrated; she had called Lin Mi to send someone to pick her up, so why hadn’t they arrived yet?

If she had to wait for Chen Zhigang, it would not be until tomorrow morning at the earliest. Was she really going to be detained here for the night?

"Why aren’t you saying anything!" Gao Yitian saw the changes in Gu Xiaoxi’s expression and felt a pent-up anger. If she weren’t a woman, he would have already dragged her out for a search.

Upon hearing Gao Yitian’s words, Gu Xiaoxi slowly lifted her head and met his gaze squarely.

Gao Yitian stared at Gu Xiaoxi. Before him, the woman had exquisite features, and her eyes clear as autumn waters held a touch of cold light. Her personality was somewhat unpredictable to him.

In the Military Dog Base, how many could remain so composed before him?

No one dares not to be afraid when he gets angry.

And now, Gu Xiaoxi had been acting as if she was just playing a game the whole time, sitting across from him, completely at ease.

"I won’t allow a search!" Gu Xiaoxi’s gaze flashed with solemnity. It was still the same sentence!

Gao Yitian’s face turned instantly ashen!

At this moment, a male soldier hurried in from outside, reporting, "Captain, the kennel is in turmoil right now. Especially Flying Tiger, it’s going crazy, charging against its cage."

Gu Xiaoxi quietly averted her gaze, her lips curling up in a mischievous smile, pretending as if nothing had happened.

In fact, she understood very well why Flying Tiger was so agitated.

After all, between being hung from a tree last time and bumping into a wall today, it had been bested by her twice. She was really sorry! She had definitely done it on purpose.

Who told it to charge at her for no reason!

"What are you waiting for? Hurry and take me to see what’s happening." Gao Yitian couldn’t even bother with Gu Xiaoxi at the moment and quickly followed the male soldier out.

After everyone had left, a helicopter landed without warning on the lawn of the Military Dog Base.

Gu Xiaoxi, sitting in the meeting room, heard the sound and ran to the window. She looked out at the aircraft and shivered involuntarily.

Quan Shaoqing had arrived...

Lin Mi had indeed betrayed her, hadn’t she told him to send someone to pick her up and not to inform Quan Shaoqing?

Now that Quan Shaoqing had come in person... Gu Xiaoxi supported her head with her hands, her heart brimming with tears!

How would she explain to him?

Gu Xiaoxi pursed her lips, feeling utterly confused.

She sat in the meeting room for quite a while.

From afar, she heard footsteps outside, and Gao Yitian’s voice, full of obsequiousness, "Superior officer, why did you come yourself? If it were your person, a phone call would have sufficed, and I would have sent her back."

"The military is a place of strict enforcement. If she really made a mistake, she will not be spared lightly. Tell me exactly what she did here today," came Quan Shaoqing’s cold and refined voice.

Gu Xiaoxi pouted! And just like that, Gao Yitian relayed all of her ’great achievements’ of the day to Quan Shaoqing, sparing no detail.

Shortly after, the door to the meeting room opened.

Quan Shaoqing was dressed in dark green military attire, his broad shoulders exuding a strong sense of security. His handsome features were slightly tense, and his gaze, tinged with a hint of frost, lightly landed on Gu Xiaoxi.

Gu Xiaoxi instantly shivered!

Gao Yitian swallowed, palpably feeling the suppressed anger emanating from Quan Shaoqing.

Gu Xiaoxi stood there, stunned for a moment, then quickly regained her composure. A bright smile immediately lifted her cheeks as she took a big step forward and flung herself into a big hug, "You’re finally here, I’ve been waiting for you for so long."

Feeling somewhat guilty, she didn’t dare to meet his eyes. Clinging to his waist, she nestled her head into his chest, attempting to soothe the anger between his brows.

She remembered, before he left, he had told her not to cause trouble. She had truly caused trouble for him today.
