Chapter 1376: Don’t Worry
The hour hand was pointing at twelve. Ye Zhifan had smoked half a pack of cigarettes. His gaze landed on the phone on the coffee table. He extinguished his cigarette in the gla.s.s ashtray and picked up his phone.
He wasn’t the only one who wanted to kill Ye Jian. There was another person who had a grudge with Ye Jian’s family — Sun Yaozu.
The night was flowing and the street lamps were flickering with colorful lights. They shone on the tired faces of the people going home and their hurried footsteps. Some people stumbled out of the bar and drank all the way. Their actions outlined a corner of the city life.
At this moment, Ye Jian had already fallen asleep. She wasn’t in a deep sleep. She would frown from time to time, revealing a hint of sorrow. A tear slowly flowed out from the corner of her eye and disappeared as she turned over.
When dawn broke, Xia Jinyuan drove out of the hotel. Ye Jian and Princ.i.p.al Chen were sitting in the back row of the car.
“The two of you are so troublesome.” Princ.i.p.al Chen looked helplessly at the two people who came to block his door early in the morning. They were afraid that he would go back alone. He criticized them but he looked relieved. He sighed and said, “If you send me back, you’ll have to rush back tomorrow. You finally have a few days of vacation. You should rest well.”
Ye Jian handed the breakfast she prepared to Princ.i.p.al Chen and smiled, “We’re young so we’re not tired. You’re the really tired one. Also, I want to go home to take a look. Don’t chase me out of the car.”
“Uncle Chen, she has been wanting to go home for a long time. Once she goes to school, she might not be able to come back even once for a year or two. She might only be able to come back after four years.” Xia Jinyuan revealed this to Princ.i.p.al Chen so that he could be prepared.
They were all soldiers. Princ.i.p.al Chen knew that there was serious business.
He kept a straight face and immediately said to Ye Jian, “Don’t worry about home. You can focus on your training outside. The military unit has made arrangements for me. In the future, I will spend most of my time in the military unit. I can only go home every few days.”
At the start of National Day, China became the center of attention. Weapons were being secretly transported from the South to the North.
Fujun Town’s military unit, as a transit station unit, entered special alert control in January. Princ.i.p.al Chen, who always served the military unit, could make his own decision when he went back.
Of course, it would be much easier.
Ye Jian didn’t know what the military unit had arranged. Hearing that, she felt more at ease. “It’s better for you to be in the military unit. Commander Liu, Commissar Yan, and the rest are all there. There are many recruits too. Uncle Chen, I’m afraid you won’t have much free time in the future.”
She smiled throughout the entire conversation. The sorrow from yesterday seemed to have disappeared from her face.
Xia Jinyuan glanced at her through the rear-view mirror and couldn’t help but smile. Little Fox knew how to turn sorrow into power and turn longing into eternity. She would always remember Uncle Gen’s voice in her heart and care about her loved ones with her actions.
This kind of Little Fox is good!
Special Forces soldiers were humans too. They had emotions and desires too. The only difference was that they needed to control their emotions. You can feel sad but always remember that you still have a gun in your hand! You can smile but you must remember that you are a Special Forces soldier that can’t show your emotions.
Ye Jian knew how to laugh and cry but she had learned how to control herself. This was good. It was rea.s.suring.
It was only ten o’clock when they returned to the village. Xia Jinyuan sent Ye Jian and Princ.i.p.al Chen to the village entrance while he drove to the military unit in the mountain.
