Chapter 98: Cheng Jiuhe’s Headache
Yes, after seeing Cheng Jiuhe, Mengyu recognized him right away. This man, with a somewhat enchanting appearance, was also a friend of Gu Dongxing in his past life and they were comrades-in-arms who had been through life and death together on the battlefield.
Like Gu Dongxing, he rose through the ranks based on his military merits. In 1992, one was a division commander and the other was a political commissar. However, mysteriously, the political commissar died in a car accident the day before the Army Day.
After his death, Gu Dongxing often furrowed his brows. Later, he even got into a fight over a minor issue with a newly promoted officer of the same rank. As a result, Gu Dongxing’s promotion to Major General was delayed until the year 2000.
After Gu Dongxing was promoted to Major General, that officer even approached Jiang Huaiyu, giving her a luxury watch, hoping she would speak on his behalf so that Gu Dongxing would forgive him. Jiang Huaiyu accepted the watch and agreed.
When Jiang Huaiyu mentioned the officer to Gu Dongxing, he became angry, smashed a teacup, and said fiercely, "You actually dare to plead on his behalf? I wish I could kill him!"
He sternly ordered Jiang Huaiyu to return the generous gift sent by that man.
At that time, as Ah Piao, Mengyu didn’t understand, but now, she guessed that it was very likely that the officer was the murderer behind Cheng Jiuhe’s death.
Cheng Jiuhe’s son, Cheng Xiang, and Jiang Huaiyu’s daughter, Gu Jiaojiao, grew up playing together, and Jiang Huaiyu often jokingly called him her future son-in-law. However, after Cheng Jiuhe’s death, Jiang Huaiyu forbade her daughter from playing with him.
But when Gu Jiaojiao grew up, she still went ahead and registered for marriage with Cheng Xiang.
Now, looking at Cheng Jiuhe, Mengyu felt conflicted: should she warn him to be wary of dangers?
