Staff Officer Du, who came from a family of farmers, was most grateful to his wife. It could be said that without his wife, the Du family would not have its current status.
Therefore, although he didn’t care about his family’s affairs, he respected Madam Li in every way. Even though he was living a good life now, he still felt that he, who was once poor, had wronged his wife.
He gently hugged his wife’s shoulders and sighed. “If we let our son marry the daughter of a small director, he’ll suffer. If you really think that his daughter is good, you can continue to observe her. I didn’t talk to his daughter earlier, but I feel that although that girl looks very obedient, there’s a scheming look in her eyes. She doesn’t look very dignified.”
Madam Li could tell as well. She pursed her lips and pondered with a solemn expression. After a while, she said, “I’ll continue to observe. The matter is not decided yet.”
Women who were not dignified and overly scheming were usually not suitable to be left at home. They wouldn’t be able to put their efforts into taking care of their family.
“Rest early. You still have to go for an inspection tomorrow. I’ll get Director Ye’s daughter to accompany me for a walk and take the chance to observe her carefully. If she’s really a good girl, I’ll consider her as a candidate for my daughter-in-law. Anyway, my son is still young, so I’ll take my time in choosing the girl I like.”
Madam Li, who was getting on in years and lacked energy, yawned. When she saw her husband turn on the TV, she casually picked up a black leather menu that was placed on the bedside table. She glanced at it and saw that there was wild ginseng chicken soup, so she asked the receptionist to send some food over.
As a five-star hotel in the Southern Province, Hotel Caesar always had ginseng and chicken soup so that guests who stayed in the presidential suite could have it.
The room was booked by Ye Zhifan, so he would settle the bill. No matter what the guests wanted, the hotel must satisfy them unconditionally.
Hotel Caesar was Hou Zi’s hidden headquarters in Southern Province. In the past, he even welcomed people who had killed and committed arson.
The receptionist immediately informed the kitchen when she received the call. Ten minutes later, the aroma of ginseng filled the air, and the chicken soup was delivered to the room where Staff Officer Du was staying.
Staff Officer Du was watching the military news channel and the international military news. He only fell asleep at midnight.
Ye Jian, who had slept for a long time, picked up the vibrating phone on the bedside table. She looked at the string of ‘0000’ numbers. She sat up and answered the call.
Three minutes later, Ye Jian knocked on Uncle Chen’s door.
Without waiting for Principal Chen to get up, she stuffed the note she had just written under the door and left the hotel with her student ID.
Principal Chen woke up with a start and bent down to pick up the slip of paper. He looked at the familiar handwriting and smiled faintly.
Girl, your future is really bright!
Although it was dangerous, one had to rely on their own strength to fight. This was the true pride and glory that belonged to soldiers like them.
There were only two words on the note: ‘Something’s up.’ There was nothing else.
A soldier should be forgiven for leaving without saying goodbye, especially when it was a special forces soldier. They might never meet again.
Uncle Chen, who was standing in front of the window, waited for two minutes before seeing the most familiar figure to him pass by the hotel’s fountain. She was dressed in casual clothes and walked fearlessly into the endless night.
There was news from overseas that an engineering team in the country had been robbed. Most importantly, this engineering team was sent by the Military Institute of Engineering. They had a lot of confidential information on them. If the information was leaked, it would definitely cause a huge storm!
