Thanks to the persistent efforts of both sides, the road was cleared an hour ahead of schedule.

"Good lad, I really didn't expect you to be the first one to arrive," Ge Xiaotian said, immediately stepping forward to pat Huo Haoshen on the shoulder.

"How are you all? Are you all alright?" Huo Haoshen looked at the people standing in front of him carefully to make sure they were all unharmed before he felt relieved.

God knows!

How terrified he was when he heard about the massive earthquake that struck Tangcheng.

“We received the news in advance, so we led the people to evacuate early this morning. Everyone is safe now. But what about you? Why did you come here?” Deng Yi and the others walked up to Huo Haoshen and his group, first nodding to Sun Hongxin, and then asking Huo Haoshen.

"On the 24th, Ruan Ruan called me and said that Tangcheng needed food and asked me to prepare as much as I could. As you know, we always execute Ruan Ruan's orders the fastest, so the next day, we contacted all the factories in Yuncheng that we cooperate with and rented all the vehicles from the transportation team. This time, I also brought two of our factory's transport vehicles with me."

However, just after we finished loading the things, we heard that the earthquake in Tangcheng had stopped. Then, Uncle Gu somehow found out that I had delivered the things and sent Brother Hongxin to lead the team.

You have no idea how dangerous the journey was. Thank goodness for them, otherwise these things might never have made it here.

As they walked toward the convoy, they listened to Huo Haoshen recount his journey.

"Who's so bold as to steal relief supplies being escorted by soldiers?" Hearing that it was Ruan Ruan who had arranged it beforehand, they weren't surprised that Huo Haoshen arrived so quickly. However, they found it unbelievable that they'd been robbed twice along the way. Had these people become so audacious as to steal supplies being escorted by soldiers?

"(⊙o⊙)...Uh, well, we don't know either. It was dark at night, and they were all wearing masks, so we couldn't see their faces. But I think they didn't know these were disaster relief supplies, let alone that there were soldiers on them."

Huo Haoshen recalled the scene at the time. It was a dark and windy night, and they were afraid that someone would run out and rob them along the way, so the soldiers drove at night while the drivers rested, and they took over during the day.

The robbers all ran out from around the bend in the road, and only the two leaders had knives in their hands; the others had sticks.

Every time he wanted to get out of the car to negotiate with them, Sun Hongxin would tell him to stay in the car and not get out, and then he would get out of the car with a few soldiers.

Every time they were about to reach those people, they would all run away in a swarm.

Seeing that they had run away, Sun Hongxin did not continue to chase after them, but simply let them get in the car and continued on his way.

Thinking of this, Huo Haoshen asked Sun Hongxin, who was walking behind him and talking to Lin Qingyuan, with some confusion, "Hey, Brother Hongxin, I've always wanted to ask, those people who wanted to rob us all ran away after seeing you, so why didn't you chase after them? If you had caught them all, wouldn't other passing vehicles have been safer?"

Sun Hongxin and Lin Qingyuan were childhood friends. They hadn't seen each other for more than half a year. When they met again, Sun Hongxin wanted to ask him if things were peaceful in Beijing. He had heard that Huo Haocheng had brought his grandparents to live in Beijing, so he thought that if things were peaceful, he would pick up his family and return to Beijing after this mission was over.

"Haoshen, you must remember that if you encounter injustices during a mission and you are unsure of their timing and nature, the best approach is to complete the mission first and then notify others to handle the matter."

This time, they were escorting 20 truckloads of food, which was crucial to whether the people of Tangcheng would go hungry in the coming days. Furthermore, they only brought 50 people with them this time. In addition to protecting the safety of the supplies, they also had to protect the safety of their companions. Therefore, after seeing those people run away, he couldn't be sure if they caught up with them and if those people had set up an ambush along their escape route.

Or rather, their act of running away at the sight of people is itself a way of enticing them. If they actually chase after those few people in order to catch them, and then some other people suddenly appear out of nowhere after they leave, he cannot afford to bear the responsibility if something really happens.

Deng Yi and the others expressed their approval of Sun Hongxin's approach.

"Haoshen, you're not young anymore, you have children now. In the future, before you decide to do something, you must think it through carefully. Think about whether you can do it, what the consequences will be, and whether you can bear those consequences."

In recent years, because of Huo Haocheng and Ruan Ruan's relationship, they have truly treated Huo Haoshen like a younger brother. Before, because of Zheng Xuyang's family issues, they were punished by Huo Haocheng to have to train with them every morning. It was only after they were transferred to Beijing in the last six months that they stopped keeping an eye on him.

Fortunately, Commander Gu brought Sun Hongxin along this time. If Huo Haoshen had been the one escorting so many vehicles, who knows what might have happened along the way.

"I understand." They had just met, and he was already being lectured just for asking one more question. Huo Haoshen said he understood, but he was still a little resentful inside.

He was just asking casually. Besides, if he really came alone, he would have been too busy running away to chase after those people after seeing them run away.

The reason for asking this question now is simply because Sun Hongxin is a soldier. Shouldn't soldiers intervene when they encounter such robbery and plunder?

What did he ask wrong?

"What your brother Hongxin meant when he said 'good' was that he had a mission at the time, and for your safety and the safety of the supplies, he couldn't let anyone chase after them. But afterwards, he would notify others to handle the matter. Don't overthink it. You usually travel by train for work and haven't experienced this kind of transportation before, so it's normal that you don't know."

Seeing that he wasn't in a good mood, Ge Xiaotian put a hand on his shoulder and led him forward, explaining the meaning behind Sun Hongxin's words.

"I know, don't worry. If I were in that situation, I definitely wouldn't chase after him. The reason I asked is because Brother Hongxin is a soldier, right?"

Huo Haoshen felt that there was a huge misunderstanding, and in their eyes, did he really think he was that stupid?
