Chapter 1844: A Mysterious Call
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The northwestern part of the border was bone-chillingly cold, while the southern part of the Guangdong region was illuminated by the sun. Today, the lowest temperature was only eight degrees. Compared to the -10 °C temperature of the territory, the southern part of the Guangdong region was as warm as spring.
This was the first time Ye Zhifan entered a military area. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He was in sharp contrast with the soldiers who wore dark green military uniforms.
Ye Zhifan looked at the heavily armed guards outside the office building and gulped. This was the first time he would be interacting with a high-ranking officer in the military.
He couldn’t help but put his left hand into his pocket. When his fingers touched the slightly cold jade pendant, a trace of uneasiness flashed across his eyes.
That’s right, it was unease!
The reason why he was able to talk to the young master of the Du family was that… he had received a call from that mysterious person once again. It had been more than ten years since he received a call from that mysterious person!
When he received the call again, the disguised voice did not change much. As the other person had grown older, their voice was no longer as impetuous as before.
When the voice came from the phone, he almost thought that he had to give back the jade because… he didn’t cripple Ye Jian at all. Instead, he watched as she walked further and further away. She stood on higher ground now. Even a police chief like him couldn’t do anything!
That was why he was afraid. He was afraid that the owner of this jade pendant would take back everything he had in a fit of anger and make him lose everything!
However, he didn’t expect the mysterious person who hadn’t contacted him for more than ten years to say, “Send Ye Ying to the military unit as soon as possible. I’ll provide the opportunity!”
Sending Yingying to the military unit… This was what he had been dreaming of!
He followed the instructions and went on a business trip to Nanguang Military District. He saved Young Master Du, who was attacked during a meal as the triad forces wanted to take revenge on him… Commander Du was from the Du family in the capital and was stationed in the Nanguang Military District.
He had racked his brains in the Southern Province but failed. In less than four days, he managed to do it easily. Although his back was slashed, it was worth it! It was really worth it!
“Regiment Commander, Director Ye is here.” The guard reported Ye Zhifan’s purpose for coming when he knocked on the door.
There was no reply immediately. Just as Ye Zhifan was feeling uneasy, the half-closed door suddenly opened. A soldier in his 30s opened the door personally.
His gaze landed on Ye Zhifan and he laughed. “Director Ye, I’ve been waiting for you. Quick, please sit down.”
This was Staff Officer Du’s eldest son, Du Kaiwei. He was 33 years old and was the regiment commander of the Nanguang Military District.
His enthusiasm made Ye Zhifan’s heart calm down. Although he felt his legs going weak just thinking about the dagger that slashed his back, it was worth it when he saw Commander Du’s smile. It was really worth it!
“Director Ye, now that you’re done with your work, do you have time to have a meal with me?” Not only did Du Kaiwei personally welcome him, but he also personally brewed tea and ordered the guards to leave. There were only two of them in the office. “It wasn’t easy for you to come to Nanguang for a trip, so I won’t delay your matters. I won’t say more about thanking you. There’s no sincerity in saying more. Let’s just do something practical that’ll make you happy.”
Director Ye had blocked the dagger for him. If he had not blocked it, the dagger would have sliced Du Kaiwei’s neck and his head would have hit the ground!
He could not neglect this favor!
Ye Zhifan smiled elegantly. He was calm in the face of the warm hospitality.. He didn’t show how happy he was.
