Chapter 1142: The Military is Here!

Noon.

Inside Villa No. 1

The young man was also curious. “That’s right. How did you come back, Aunt Zhong?”

The other middle-aged man asked. “Did the research center let you go?”

“That’s impossible.” Zhong Lizhen looked at Dong Xuebing. “It’s Xiao Dong who rescued me. It was dangerous. We almost died there.”

Chen Xuekai looked at Dong Xuebing. “Xiao Dong rescued you?!”

The young man was surprised. He turned to Dong Xuebing. “Ah? Didn’t you refuse to go?”

The young man was angry with Dong Xuebing for refusing to rescue Zhong Lizhen and did not expect him to go to Florida the next day.

Dong Xuebing smiled. “Sorry, Professor Chen. I had no choice then. My wife does not want me to risk my life. That’s why I went secretly and did not tell anyone.”

Chen Xuekai patted Dong Xuebing’s hand. “I knew it. Xiao Xie and Xiao Han’s son-in-law, and Huilan’s husband will never be someone ordinary.”

Dong Xuebing joked. “Stop teasing me. Huilan will divorce me if I do such things again.”

Chen Xuekai laughed.

The young man learned Dong Xuebing risked his life to save Zhong Lizhen. He clenched his teeth and bowed. “I am sorry. I thought you….”

Dong Xuebing quickly helped him up. “It’s fine….”

Chen Xuekai stood up and faced Dong Xuebing. “I must give you a bow. Thank you, Xiao Dong. Thank you!”

Xie Guojian quickly stops him. “You don’t need to do this, Senior Chen.”

Dong Xuebing panicked. “Yes…. You cannot bow to me…. Sister Zhong is my Aunt. It’s right for me to go.”

A few military vehicles stopped outside of the villa.

The door opened, and an old man, in his sixties came out. He was in uniform and looked powerful. Dong Xuebing looked at his rank and was surprised. Colonel General?! A group of military officers followed behind, and armed soldiers surrounded them.

Xie Guojian went out to welcome him. “Commander Yan.”

The old man nodded. “Director Xie.”

Xie Guojian was surprised. “Why did you come personally?”

Commander Xie replied. “The higher-ups had ordered to protect Zhong Lizhen at all costs. Also….” He paused and smiled. “I want to meet your family, Xiao Dong. I could not return for Huilan’s wedding and hear much about him. I am curious about what Secretary Xie’s son-in-law looks like. That’s why I came.”

Xie Guojian laughed. “He is inside now.”

“Alright. Let’s talk inside.”

They were from the Military and were familiar with each other.

…….

Inside the villa.

They entered the villa.

Xie Guojian was introduced. “This is Commander Yan.”

Xie Guojian did not tell them Commander Yan’s position because everyone knew who he was.

Zhong Lizhen was surprised. She did not expect Commander Yan to come and fetch her.

Commander Yan looked at Zhong Lizhen and walked over. He saluted and shook her hand. “Welcome back, Comrade Zhong.”

Zhong Lizhen politely replied. “Thank you.”

Commander Yan said. “How was the journey back? Are you hurt? Do you need to go to 301 Hospital for a checkup?”

Zhong Lizhen replied. “I am fine. Xiao Dong had protected me well, and I am not hurt.”

They chatted for a while, and Commander Yan turned to Dong Xuebing. He smiled. “You must be Dong Xuebing.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “Yes, Commander Yan.”

Commander Yan walked over and extended his hand.

Dong Xuebing quickly shook his hand.

Commander Yan nodded and said. “Well done! You had done well!”

Dong Xuebing does not know how to reply. “You are flattering me….”

Commander Yan looked at Dong Xuebing. “I always wanted to meet you, but I was too busy. I finally got time to meet you today.”

Dong Xuebing joked. “You must be disappointed.”

Commander Yan replied. “Yes. I am disappointed. I thought you have three heads and six arms.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “I am just an ordinary person. I can bring Aunt Zhong back because of luck.” He does not want to be targeted by the Military and uses luck as an excuse.

Commander Yan looked at Dong Xuebing and laughed. He said softly. “Even my most elite soldiers are not confident saving Comrade Zhong from the research center. But you did it alone. Rescuing a weak woman from a heavily guarded research center unharmed is not luck.”

Dong Xuebing paused for a second. “It’s really because of good luck.”

Commander Yan smiled. “What about the pirates’ incident?”

“…… It was also luck.”

“Hahaha…. It’s luck again.” Commander Yan patted Dong Xuebing’s shoulder and asked. “Are you interested in joining the military?”

Dong Xuebing was speechless. “No…. Thank you, Commander Yan, for thinking so highly of me.”

Commander Yan was not surprised. “Don’t reject me so quickly. Consider my offer. If you agree, I will think of a way to transfer you over.”

“Let’s talk about it again. But I have no intentions of entering the Military now.”

“Ok. Think it over. There’s no rush.”

Although disarming a bomb, and killing dozens of criminals and pirates, are shocking, it was still possible. However, this time, Dong Xuebing shocked the military leaders with his combat power!

Almost two days had passed since the Florida incident.

The Military had received the latest news. Fifty fully armed soldiers, an armored vehicle, and five military jeeps were killed and destroyed by Dong Xuebing alone! He had to protect Zhong Lizhen simultaneously, and he returned home safely!

Dong Xuebing’s combat power is equivalent to a small army!

Commander Yan hoped Dong Xuebing would join the Military. With his combat power, he would do well.
