999 Teacher, I Want to Apply for Leave

Zhai Hua was at Zhai Sheng’s office when she found out about Wei De. She also used the telephone at Zhai Sheng’s office to make a phone call to Qiao Nan.

Since the information might be with Zhai Hua, Zhai Sheng had to think of the worst-case scenario—Zhai Hua had read the information.

He was not worried that Zhai Hua might not believe the information. On the contrary, he was worried that she believed it and would act rashly.

Zhai Sheng kept calling Qiao Nan along the way, trying to contact her.

With regard to Wei De, Zhai Hua refused to listen to anyone except Qiao Nan.

Therefore, Zhai Sheng wanted to contact Qiao Nan to remind her to stall for time.

In the event that Zhai Hua contacted Qiao Nan, Qiao Nan must take the opportunity to persuade Zhai Hua. It did not matter that she did not manage to make Zhai Hua listen to her. What was important was that Qiao Nan stalled for time and talked to Zhai Hua so that Zhai Sheng could make his way back to Ping Cheng as soon as possible and bring Wei De to another place before Zhai Hua got to him.

That was why Zhai Sheng kept trying to call Qiao Nan just now. However, he could not get through.

But from his judgment, Zhai Hua was still at the camp; at least she was until she finished talking to Qiao Nan.

“Okay.” Qiao Nan shivered slightly and hung up the phone.

She knew that this was a race against time. They had to have the situation in control before Zhai Hua acted rashly.

After ending the phone call with Qiao Nan, Zhai Sheng made another call to the camp. “It’s me. Is Zhai Hua still at the camp? Remember, no matter what, you must not allow Zhai Hua to leave the camp!”

The soldier almost broke out in tears at Zhai Sheng’s phone call.

In his first phone call to the camp, Zhai Sheng wanted to know whether Zhai Hua was at the camp.

Everyone in the army knew that Madam Zhai was unwell these few days and Zhai Hua, the deputy battalion commander, wanted to go back home to check on her.

It was such a coincidence that she chose to go back today.

The soldier was dumbfounded and did not know how to answer Zhai Sheng’s question. “The deputy battalion commander is going back to visit her mother today. The dispatch delivery car has just come back. There were several cars that entered and left the camp. Deputy Battalion Commander Zhai might have left.”

The soldier had the impression that Zhai Hua had left the camp.

It was not until five seconds ago that he realized that she was still at the camp.

The soldier felt like weeping but had no tears. He watched as Zhai Hua drove off, leaving a gust of exhaust fumes in her trail. “Reporting to regiment commander, Deputy Battalion Commander Zhai drove a car and left the camp by force.”

“...” Zhai Sheng felt like swearing.

His first phone call was for the people in the camp to stop Zhai Hua from leaving.

As long as Zhai Hua stayed in the camp, regardless of how furious she was, at the very least, she would not do anything to Wei De.

Wei De had let Zhai Hua down. Even if the Zhai family did not take his life, they would not let him off.

But that did not mean that the Zhai family would behave rashly because of a scumbag like Wei De or go against the law then go into hiding for the rest of one’s life.

“I understand!” Zhai Sheng threw the cell phone to a side after hanging up the phone. He stepped on the accelerator and sped on.

The camp was known for its discipline, yet they made a blunder today.

After ending the phone call with Zhai Sheng, Qiao Nan could not be rest assured.

She thought hard about it and could not feel reassured. She ran toward the school. She wanted to apply for ten days of leave.

Qiao Nan’s teacher was shocked upon hearing that she wanted to apply for ten days of leave. “Qiao Nan, do you know that it is already mid-December? By the time you come back from your ten-day leave, New Year’s Day would have passed. By then, the school would have completed the revision. Are you sure you want to take such a long break at this time?”

New Year’s Day was coming. In other words, by the time Qiao Nan came back from her leave, it would not be long before the final term exams started.

“Qiao Nan, as far as I know, you have been studious and conscientious in your lessons. Although you are not the only student to maintain a positive learning attitude after advancing from high school to college, you are one of the few to do that. You have been doing well in your studies, and the teachers recognized your efforts. You have done very well for your social practice as well. You should know that you are among the few possible students who might be awarded a scholarship. Qiao Nan, as long as you do well in the final term exam, you have a high possibility of getting the first-prize scholarship.”

The teacher felt that it was a pity to miss out on this scholarship.

“Teacher, thank you. I understand. But something has cropped up at home. Something very serious has happened.” Qiao Nan was very touched by the teacher’s words and affirmation.

Yes, she also wanted to compete for the first-prize scholarship. She hoped to get the level-based scholarship as well as the school-based scholarship.

But she had to prioritize. Sister Zhai Hua was in serious trouble. If they did not handle it well, it might cost a life.

Wei De was an adult and had spent years at the camp. Qiao Nan was not worried that something would happen to him. Instead, she was worried that Wei Wei would be injured.

The person whom Wei De hurt deeply was Sister Zhai Hua, and Sister Zhai Hua would not let Wei De off.

What if Wei Wei ended up getting injured and the culprit, Wei De, escaped unscathed, while Sister Zhai Hua had to go behind bars for it? It would be downright unfortunate.

Since Zhai Hua would listen to her advice, she felt that she had to make a trip to Ping Cheng.

“Teacher, I know my learning progress very well. You can rest assured that I will not put my results at stake. I will definitely work hard. However, there are many important matters and people in one’s life. One’s results are not the only thing that matters, right? Teacher, can you make a phone call to the principal to ask for advice?”

Qiao Nan was left with no choice.

The teacher refused to approve her leave as the teacher was worried about her studies. Qiao Nan understood the teacher’s kind intentions. It was impossible for her to lose her temper at her teacher. Furthermore, she did not have the habit of losing temper at others.

The teacher would not accept her reasons.

She had no other choice but to use other means to apply for leave.

The teacher was reluctant to make the phone call.

Their principal was very busy and there were so many students in the school. If other students applied for a long leave, their leaves would not be approved as well. There was no need to check with the principal.

However, the teacher remembered that among all the freshmen this year, Qiao Nan was the only student whom the principal had taken special note of. Therefore, the teacher called the principal in the end.

The teacher spoke to the principal for a while before passing the phone to Qiao Nan. “The principal wants to speak to you.”

“Okay, thank you, teacher.” Qiao Nan took the phone with gratitude.
