Chapter 731: Chapter 730: Fleeing in Defeat_1 Chapter 731: Chapter 730: Fleeing in Defeat_1 “Because I’m strong!” Fu Xinwu flexed her muscles, “I don’t want to be a hen! It doesn’t sound nearly as cool as an eagle.”

The boy playing the hen was the most clear-headed: “Sister Xinwu, you’re an adult, playing ‘Eagles Catch Chicks’ with us kids, and still concerned about looking cool? Are we starting to show off now?”

Fu Xinwu gave him a serious look. Could this little devil have walked into the wrong playing field?

What a precocious child!

Wei Qin had been watching the small square, naturally hearing the group’s conversation loud and clear, his lips unconsciously displaying a faint smile.

As expected of Bei Jiang’s niece, she’s just like him when he was a kid!

“This…” Little Wang was at a loss for words, doubting whether Fu Xinwu would become angry and start a fight out of embarrassment.

The children quite quickly changed their minds. They had just been persuaded by Fu Xinwu, then upon hearing the old hen’s reasons, they instantly became fickle.

“Hmph! We’re not playing with you anymore.”

“That’s right.”

“You always bully us.”

“Sister Xinwu, aren’t you ashamed?”

“Who are you guys talking about?” Fu Xinwu made like an eagle, ready to catch someone. The kids scattered and ran away, their short little legs moving fast. Soon, there was not a single one left. Only Fu Xinwu remained in the small square.

The weather was quite hot. She had played for a while, her face flushed from the sun. She thought she would go home, take a bath, and then meet with Lu Dongxin.

Even though she and Lu Dongxin didn’t study the same major, they didn’t get along in school. Since her uncle had given her this important and great task, she had to complete it.

Fu Xinwu was preparing to go home when she turned around and saw Wei Qin not far away. Her mind went blank. She stood rooted to the spot, not knowing whether to pretend she hadn’t seen him or immediately sprint away.

This is bad, this is bad.

Did Wei Qin see her acting childish just now?

And her bullying the kids, her silly act of pretending to be an eagle, pretty sure he didn’t see that right?

Oh, momma! Even though Wei Qin lives in the courtyard, he doesn’t show up even once in a year. Why did he have to show up today of all days? Why is her luck so bad? She really should have checked her horoscope before stepping out.

In the blink of a minute, a thousand thoughts flashed through Fu Xinwu’s mind, each of them making her want to burrow into a hole in the ground.

In the end, she took a deep breath. Since Wei Qin is reclusive, he probably doesn’t know who she is.

Even though this thought was rather heartbreaking, it was still better than being humiliated.

“Eagle.” Wei Qin sat upright, taking the initiative to greet her.

Fu Xinwu’s mind went blank. Without thinking, she turned around and ran, disappearing as quickly as the wind.

Wei Qin: “…”

Did he say something wrong? Was he somehow frightening her?

36th Division—-

The Northern Military District’s largest military exercise was just half a month away. The 36th Division was one of the three divisions representing the Second Army in the exercise. The winner would represent the Northern Military District in the final of the six major military districts’ final competitions.

Its significance was indeed profound.

This was also the best and fastest way to turn the 36th Division from an unremarkable unit into an ace reserve force. Huo Beijiang considered it more crucial than ever.

He declined all tasks from the Command Office, focusing on preparing for the military exercise in half a month.

After returning from the city, he would either go to the exercise site or study the sand table in his office.
