Even though he was facing a commander, Gu Qingmo appeared gracious. The way he behaved made others unable to belittle him.

Huo Yingcheng was curious about this Gu Qingmo. Indeed the lass Qingjiu is different from other people, even her older brother didn’t have the aura of an ordinary guy.

Upon hearing such a question, Gu Qingjiu’s expression changed instantly.

He still refused to give up!

Huo Yingcheng felt that it was a little weird, but he nodded. He pointed at He Niancheng who was standing behind him. “He’s the one directly in charge. But you can speak to me as well.”

“Alright then, Commander Huo. Pardon my frankness. I’d like to ask if my sister wishes to withdraw from the troops now, which paperwork needs to be done?”

Huo Yingcheng was stunned to hear this. “Withdraw? Why withdraw?”

Facing her older brother’s aggressiveness, the anxious Gu Qingjiu couldn’t remain calm anymore. She said, “I’m not withdrawing, Brother. Dad and Mom gave me their consent, so why don’t you agree? I’m not going to withdraw from the troops!”

“What do you know? You’re a girl, you have many choices to choose from. Why do you insist on wasting your youth in the troops?” Gu Qingmo’s expression darkened as he began to reason with Gu Qingjiu. “Qingjiu, you’re still young. Dad and I can give you opportunities. Why do you insist on wasting your time here? What are you going to do after you stop serving in the military later on?”

What Gu Qingmo said was the truth.

Gu Qingjiu knew he was doing this in consideration of her.

After a few years of training, most ordinary soldiers likely wouldn’t have further opportunities and could only choose to retire and go home with some pension. In the end, they were still left to strive on their own, to look for a new job.

Or perhaps accept the higher-ups’ arrangement and enter various official organizations as a traffic soldier or an ordinary policeman.

However, even then they had to pull strings to achieve that. Moreover, Gu Qingjiu’s family didn’t hope to see her join a profession where her life could be put at risk.

After several years of being in the military, other than counting that as an experience, it actually didn’t serve as a practical purpose.

This was a practical problem in society.

Back then Gu Qingjiu chose the military in order to avoid the Yu family. It seemed like a decision made in a rash moment, but in actual fact, it was the only opportunity she could clutch on in this helpless reality she was in.

Hearing Gu Qingmo put things this way, her throat turned raspy, feeling terribly suppressed at heart, as if she wasn’t able to utter a single word.

Because Gu Qingmo had no idea what would happen in the future, he naturally wanted to help Gu Qingjiu make the best decision based on what he knew.

And she was unable to voice out her helplessness.

Gu Qingmo couldn’t bear it as he watched Gu Qingjiu’s expression turn fragile too, but he really didn’t wish to see his younger sister waste the best years of her youth in the military where she had no way out.

Huo Yingcheng was a little angered. “How can you as an older brother speak so irresponsibly? You claim to be doing this for her own good, but why didn’t you ask her for her opinion? Since she wishes to enter the military, it must be her own decision. Adults ought to be responsible for their own decisions. If she knew and could take the consequences of her decision, even as her older brother, you have no right to be saying that!”

When he first learned this young chap was Qingjiu’s older brother, he started to grow more pleasant to the eyes. But looking at him again now, he looked like a thief!

No matter how he looked at him!

At that moment, an extremely cold voice sounded from behind.

“She’s my soldier, I forbid.”
