"Commander Gu, that puts our minds at ease. Little Gu, we heard you went to S Province? Why did you go so far? Is everything arranged properly for your trip?"

A series of seemingly well-intentioned questions, upon closer examination, reveal that the leader was actually trying to extract information.

Gu Beiwang had his head down, and his eyes darkened, but no one noticed anything amiss.

"Everything has been arranged. I have my family with me. I apologize for troubling you, sir."

"Not at all, Commander Gu is a war hero in the hearts of all of us. Without our predecessors like Commander Gu, we wouldn't have the good life we ​​have now, right?"

No wonder he can become a leader; his art of speaking is truly masterful.

This time, the third-ranking leader spoke up:

"Old Hu, don't worry about it. The Commander is going on a trip, so the Gu family must have made all the arrangements well in advance. Otherwise, they wouldn't feel comfortable letting the Commander go on such a long trip, would they?"

That's true.

I'm just a worrier, haha, please forgive me.

The third leader smiled obsequiously, then waved to Gu Beiwang:

"Xiao Gu, I'm all done here, you can go back now."

"yes!"

"Yes, we need to keep up with the mission, but of course, we also need to be careful. You understand what that means."

"Understood, sir!"

"Go."

As soon as Gu Beiwang stepped out the door, he heard Chief Hu inside casually ask:

"You guys are playing riddles! I was right there, and I didn't understand a single word you said!"

The third-in-command isn't stupid; he certainly won't be led by the nose.

"They're talking about the training plan after the New Year. We'll be recruiting more soldiers at the beginning of the year, so there are a lot of things to be careful about. We don't want any problems to arise..."

......

After leaving Z South China Sea and getting into the car, Gu Beiwang finally relaxed his guard a bit.

It seems I should avoid setting foot in this place as much as possible in the future.

Let those in power fight it out among themselves.

Over the years, Gu Beiwang had heard some inside stories, and even personally dealt with some of them.

The struggle for power is always so cruel!

It's best for ordinary people to avoid contact if possible.

The Third Leader clearly approved the Sharp Sword Squad's operation; even the words he deliberately said to Leader Hu were also meant for Gu Beiwang.

The task must be followed closely = this matter must be thoroughly investigated.

Recruiting more soldiers = increasing manpower

"Just letting you know there's an emergency meeting in half an hour."

The guard paused for a moment, then took out his communicator.

Gu Beiwang sat in the back seat and slowly closed his eyes. One thing after another, even an iron body couldn't withstand it.

Now, his deceased wife and the cruise ship incident from forty-five years ago have also been brought into the picture.

Gu Beiwang's mind was about to explode.

"Sir, the notification has been given," the guard said.

"Um."

Seeing his commander's obvious fatigue, the guard silently made a hand gesture to the soldier driving the vehicle:

Slow down and let the leader rest for a while.

The car slowed down, and only those who were with him knew the truth. So what if he was a big shot in the military?

Their daily workload is ten times, dozens of times, or even a hundred times greater than that of ordinary people.

The courage they possess is something most people cannot bear.

Therefore, in many cases, being an ordinary citizen is more comfortable, leisurely, and pleasant than being a high-ranking official.

There aren't so many trivial matters, nor so much deceit, intrigue, or power struggles all day long!

Why....

Those are all just wishful thinking.
